Startups vs MNCs - The Big RAT Race

Working with the Multi-National Companies will give your resume a brand name but neither would it change your capability nor will improve business. If you want a brand label on your resume then don't go for startups. And if you want a career growth and you are not afraid of building reputation on your own then startups shall be on your call. 

For MNC-

It's definitely a dog-eat-dog world out there and people are least concerned about the fact where they are pushing their career towards. At least, now I am speaking for our Indian Society; if you have just graduated and hunting for job you would definitely go chasing big brands and despite the fact that MNCs literally takes up your life but then you would love it without it. Here, you will be trying to only be specific to "your" career, playing politics getting a position where you'd be the boss but eventually you are losing credibility. Now, who cares if you are getting a hefty pay check and a brand name on your ID says so-and-so Multi-National firm that raises eye brows while you are travelling in a Metro (only in the case if you don't own a BMW). And finally your career ends up bragging about many places you visited and food you ate, not forgetting to mention how your 'life in lights' was.

For StartUps

It's NOT a dog-eat-dog world, yes, it is not in a startup. If you are emotionally working out to build up your career and you think money is not the concern only until it helps managing your living. A startup is where you can actually startup your career, if giving your resume a startup name shall not demean your confidence. In a startup you will get exposure, it's like taking admission in a school from the first grade. You will get to learn the business without spending a nickel and it can be beneficial for you if you are just an entrant, or looking out for jobs. Expecting big money in this case would not lead you anywhere even after 3 years but the least you can do is live a fruitful life. You'd not own a Mercedes this way (if that's what you are desperate about) in nearly 5 to 6 years down the line but can definitely expect a peace-of-mind working schedule and coming back to loving family in your own Chevy Beat. Startups can lead to up to certain levels of satisfactions. Live Life In Peace.

RUSHDIE in the Black Farce

Salman Rushdie, novel 'The Satanic Verses'

The Audience at Jaipur Literature Festival, 2012

More than 10,000 people gathered to celebrate the exquisite ideas and the words at one place - THE JAIPUR LITERATURE FESTIVAL. Everyone was eagerly waiting for Salman Rushdie to Video Conference an interview by the gutsy Barkha Dutt to the studio in London around 3.45pm (IST). A planned videolink conference with Rushdie at the Jaipur Literary Fest #JLF (Twitter) presented the directors with an impossible decision: cause a riot or uphold an imperative principle. The incident got the directors, coordinators and co-operators in a state of momentary shock, when they received a notice by Police to stop the video conference and the Muslim activists who appeared before 1pm in the vicinity to forbade the Rushdie's interview, were the biggest daunt to the crowd present there.

Protesters at Jaipur Literary Fest, 2012

Muslim activists made it clear of boycotting Rushdie's book and banning it therefore in islamic communities as one of the books wrote by Salman Rushdie- "THE SATANIC VERSES" contained offensive statements which besieged the Muslim's sentiments and apparently the Muslim activists at the Jaipur Literary Fest had palpable callousness over Salman Rushdie. The infuriated crowd hauled over the Directors, of the interview that is to be taken by Barkha Dutt. Nor Police, neither government put their foot forward to the protesters and the crowd that might get exacerbated as the consequence, as evidently more than Hindus, government is concerned about their Muslim voters. If the videolink is shown to public, there would be violence and the crowd might aggravate entailing the scuffle. 


Novel, "The Satanic Verses" which was first published in 1988 and therein banned in Iran, Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan and later in India due to blasphemous reference to the Muslim community. After 24 years later in 2012 at the Jaipur literary fest, the author was banned entering his own birth place, India. The clauses in the book which are the gratuitous provocation to Muslim Community had enough of punishment to Salman Rushdie as fatwa was also issued by a leader of Iran and a Muslim Scholar, Shi'a. After the issue of fatwa, Rushdie was police protected by the British Government and later Rushdie avowed that he would not remain under quilts and will stop living in hiding. The Iranian News Agency proclaimed that fatwa would remain permanent, until and unless it is rescinded by the person who first issued it. The leader had since died. 


Rushdie has never been physically assaulted or incurred. Since then, the conciliated verse sometimes grows to gruesome fiascoes and other while it remains buried deep to explode someday to some event. 

People should forget and forgive. Maybe the verses weren't that harmful to become a cause to a dispute, and even if it were... THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, has it all not be taken as offensive. If in India people have their right of speech why could not a person speak to his mind? Perhaps, Rushdie never meant to hurt anybody's sentiments and even if he has, why shall we make him suffer his whole life? SALMAN RUSHDIE shall be liable for the charges for his offensive verses, but we should not punish him his whole life.

Public; Nobody's Business

Parliament House, New Delhi 

"Do you know what it takes to get into the Parliament? Whatever, but you will come out pocket full of money when exiting."

A bungalow at Lutyens', New Delhi 

As we embrace the activists like Anna Hazare and few realistic politicians for their welfare indulgence into the ombudsman's (lokpal's) swamp we take no considerations to the MPs who hold the dark intent as a principle of them. They make the ignorance of public to the level where they get the modest amount of salary shown and what that is unaccountable goes oblivion in the showcase. Our Parliamentarians extracts the most out of what we call Money accountable to Public. Most of the MPs live in or on the vicinity at Lutyens' Delhi which has the gross estimated value of real estate of Rs 300-400 crore depending on the size of the bungalow. In Delhi as a state we have 77 Ministers including those of state are so capable that they can even hire a servant for spoon feeding and cleaning their toilets (-literally, where it comes from). India as a country still counts 37.7% of population below poverty line (BPL) and we have more than 540 Lok Sabha Ministers and 250 Rajya Sabha Ministers playing all in multimillion currency and can be said perfectly capable of feeding those below poverty line till their death and still holds a tidy sum of a million.

The new statistics shows the increment of Government bureaucrats. Six lakhs per annum is the salary of an Indian MP which is in accounts and the bungalow which grows behind is what the money needs to be in accounts. There is no Parliamentary drawback or system limitations, all in all the corrupt Ministers grew up to behold this nature when an American bureaucrats draws an ample annual salary of $1,74,000 (Rs 93 lakhs) and yet lives at homes which cost almost third of the fractions Indian MPs' bungalows worthy of. Where actually the money is growing and how far will it reach to the corrupt standards? Questions never become an answer in parliament. An MP brings multi-ideological standards of his own to become so-and-so. He spends around 7-10 crores on elections to win it before whining and bragging of the same and a successful MLA spends around 2-3 crores all on a state assembly elections. By all procedure successfully passed giving these MPs right of expenditure in some other sense. Now when all the revenue is collected from Public funds, National Highway Authority of India, Airports, Railways, Transports and Municipal departments. The audited revenue on utilization lies in vain before the public and eaten by the corrupt society of MPs and Bureaucracies. 

Lokpal brought the debate of empowering of Election Commission to audit electoral expenses on a continuous basis and make all the funds of public accountable on the expense sheet. Should it provide the power to de-register and de-recognize the blunderer political parties which play seminal roles in digging the black money out. There must be a tough regulatory bodies which instigates the policies to investigate the profession of each and look into the matter deeply and not commiserate the deal with money.

"What we pay unwritten, goes unaccountable."

FORMULA 1 & FASCINATION 2

At Buddh International Circuit, New Delhi

Just a day passed by after an inauguration of Formula 1 and a day waiting for scintillating, glamorous and fascinating parties to tag it a star. Lady Gaga sang to an after event party of Formula 1 with all the others in party songs. Shah Rukh Khan and Arjun Rampal also made the evening go Gaga.

We may have had difficulties in practice sessions when a Dog intervened and or Visa refutation for some attending this event from countries far. But that hardly made a difference as on for now this event has got heart of billionaires and famous personalities to spend Rs. 100 for a piece of Samosa when in famine. Thank God, it has not got worse for the people who cannot buy it giving an exorbitant high amount as an excuse.

There were not only fast cars and high profile scions and tycoons at Buddh International Circuit but also a hint of gorgeous and beautiful Grid Girls increasing an entertainment quotient for the visitors to high. 

Coming after what Formula 1 added to roaring engines were these exquisite Formula1 Grid Girls. People may have had difficulties in reaching the venue because of heavy Traffic Jams on the roads reading hoardings of Formula1 but that has not taken to make a bold thought to worry about when the visitors reached the venue and without much bustle, the Grid Girls made them pop their eyes out.

All went great after when these girls also found the speed scorchers on their way to practice and indulging booze later the Race with the classy Businessmen and their much-to-do high bucks.

All the events were given a Scintillating After Event Party which had Lady Gaga Performing and this all appreciated as much of India and Bollywood as it can. Lady Gaga tweeted - "Screw Hollywood, It's all about Bollywood." Gaga also uploaded her picture with Arjun Rampal and Shah Rukh Khan while in Party.

13 Days For Nation

It had not been too long since India got it's Independence, not even a century has been passed. It's India's 65th Independent year, 2011. India got Independence from British rulers in 14 August, 1947. All in all Indians tried hard to heal up the country's contusions and is now been counted in the top lists of fastest developing countries. India is the second populous country in the world after China and has rose up it's literacy rate, development statistics, economic growth and also in entertainment industry. All couldn't have been possible without India's Government Bureaucrats and high aspired Indian people. We have had all the assimilated information for being counted in the lists of TOP Nations in the world. 

Unless we've gone spleen in corruption.

But here comes the dearth of possibilities when Indians tend to become selfish on their parts to earn money. India could have world's wealthiest persons' if money which rotates around the country gets reimbursed into a statistic and solemnly be put to development of the country, bustling. Not to forget, Vijay Mallya, Ratan Tata, Ambani Brothers and Azim premji (CEO of Wipro)

Commonwealth Games held at New Delhi in October, 2010 was the most ostentatious situation for the Government authorities to show up the world what it takes to build up a character. But our country has prodigiously blessed with the brilliance of the bureaucrats (sometimes egotistic) to hold up the winning cup on their hands, like A. Raja and Suresh Kalmadi. Corruption is a virus which regardless of emotions hollows the nation. It just need a corrupt mindset to grow and lives heaven. 

Amitabh Bachchan in support for Anna Hazare at a Mall in Mumbai

From Gandhian era to Anna's it went all in the pockets of corrupt governance and if the statistics are to be believed the major cause grows from it's very own citizens. India, and crusades are very commonly similar. We are soulfully responsible for the growth of country and are liable for charge if question demands what have you done for your country. Anna Hazare fasts 13 days just to raise India from corrupt and bribery quagmire. His demands were to be listened and pondered upon in the Parliament and people of India will give reverent homage to their mother land as the JAN LOKPAL BILL Passes at India Gate, New Delhi.
