Allocating funds to immediate or long term social ameliorations?

In the recent past, the improvement in economic conditions of many developing countries is commendable. Economies are growing at an enormous pace and competing with the superpowers. With liquidity in abundance and nurtured supply of resources, economic problems are a passé for the bourgeois. But has this been reflected to the entire workforce of the nation. Going by the analysis, a major 18% population in the developing countries is still below poverty line. A lot needs to be achieved at the social front for many nations around the world. The development bias has led to many social abuses like child labor, prostitution, illegal trafficking or organs, hazardous diseases like AIDS and many more unlisted. It is despicable to let the sufferers lead a life of misery. Many government institutions and NGO's are playing a noble cause in ameliorating the problems. On the global front CRY, WHO and UNICEF have already succored billions of victims. Funding the immediate problem cannot be negle...

Defending your ideas makes you discover its real value.

The competition in all segments of life has turned the face of globalization. Enteurepreneurs from different realms have utilized cutting-edge technology and incorporated unprecedented business plans to emerge as leaders in respective fields. But would the success and diversification around us have been possible if the thinkers would have executed their plan of action in isolation without getting into a debate or objection for their plans of action? Its indeed a proven fact that ideas jostling agsinst conter arguments tend to look up to a broader scenario and provide a holistic version to the objective. Sustenance in isolation is not possible in todays competitive world. One cannot overlook the counter effects of objectives and persist with one's own view. Its crucial to team up and analyze different aspects of the opinion from different individuals. There might be a possibility that we rule out the inevitable while incorporating a plan which could be pin-pointed by the critique ot...

Do Specialists have an edge over the Jacks?

The technological advancements during later half of the 20th century has revolutionalized the world. There has been a massive leap in the perspective of skills or techniques acquired by an individual or a thing. The specialists have been replaced by generalists who are indeed the jack of all trades, althought they might be master of none. I advocate that in the modern era we have to have an insight about a lot more things happening around us, rather than concentrating on our sole discipline or field of work. Globalization and technology has shrunk the world in terms of size. The indegenous products in a market are now being challenged by imported goods that provide performance and cost compatibility. The mobile phones that were initially used to communicate to a distant acquaintance is now a source of non-stop music and can capture important moments in your life just throught a click of a button. This has been realized by the local producers who inturn have played smart and swirved dir...

Life's a roller-coaster !

Millions of times I have made an earnest effort to unravel the mystery behind a LIFE. Conduct a survey all around the globe and try to figure out the rudimentary ingredients that would imbue a sense of satisfaction in them. There would be vivid opinions based on individual criteria. Most of them would be unrealistic, surpassing their wildest imaginations and trying to attain the pinnacle of their fervor . I had always dreamt of realistic visions and slogged to accomplish them. The almighty has been beneficent until now and to be on the optimistic side expect him to shower the blessings upon me in a similar fashion. Amen! Realized a little late in LIFE that the easy path chosen by me would not fulfil my expectations that I have piled up on the stack. Things would have been much more simplistic if I would not have bunked my english lessons at school or not messed around with my teachers. But I guess its never too late. I am doing respectably good with respect to millions. But if comparis...

Do luxuries prevent us from being Strong and Independent?

The rise of technological advancements has produced numerous scientific inventions that one would have not evolved in the figment of imagination some two decades back. The simple gadget like a remote control has revolutionized the way machines are handled. The kids being mollycoddled by luxuries is a concern for the parents allover the world. The physical labour done has been reduced manifolds. But are the present day luxuries the sole impediments in the path of an individual attaining strength and independence? The excessive use of gizmos and gadgets for our daily chores has indeed led to fitness concerns. The daily jog in the park and a little bit of exercise is an obligation for the teenagers. Kids turning overweight, courtesy the double-cheese Mc.Donalds hamburger along with Coca Cola is a common site in all neighbourhood. The problem is not only with the kids. Even young men and women face acute joint problems in their early thirties. But we have benefited manifolds from the luxur...
