SARVE JANA SUKINO BHAVANTHU
It was always a wonder ,right from my childhood, as to “why people both men and women, who are learned, who hail from a good family background, who learned / preached / practiced vedas and sasthras,Upanishads and epics, who are rich by HIS GRACE, who are in high positions, who have happiness to themselves- tortures, harasses, speak obnoxiously, seeks in pleasures in wounding other hearts, behave as though they knew too much etc etc and never allow the world at peace. Why?
When I was 7 year old I used to hear a lot shouts from men and women in my housing colony. A Hindi speaking lady whose husband was a senior executive, will keep on yelling at him for 2 hours till he goes to office. Why, when I was 9 years, my friend hit me hard for making him out in cricket and in turn my neighbor who was watching this belted him, I had pain but pain was there for that kid too---and next day we were going to school together. Such things do happen everywhere and all time and people who hit, abuse expect to find pleasure (do they?) and the affected victims crumble in-side.
Sigmund Fraud said its nothing but complex—inferiority complex. People never see inside themselves but always look around and compare. People do not like any one to be higher in measures, ranks, intelligence,work,sharpness, music, acting, dressed in neat fabrics, in color, in fashion, in beauty etc ,whether husband, sisters, brothers, friends, neighbors, office colleague, secretaries, servants, boss, doctors, lawyers, mothers –in-laws, ( have you ever heard a dispute between father-in-law and son-in-law?) ,businessmen ,and even vedic pundits! The envy, the inability to do, the basic possessiveness drive them to kill such people, in better level , in heart and deeds. In this aspect they fail to notice their own strength, their assets and their bright-side and lose their lives in comparisons and envy. They have one aim, “must crush the good “and in that process they lose their life and get crushed. The other always undoubtedly suffers but find a finer roots (routes also) in that process and get elevated. DO YOU REMEMBER 90-10 PRINCIPLE? REMEMBER 80-20 MBO? TWO LINES DRAWN ADJUCENT AND MAKE LIFE SMOOTH BY EXTENDING THEIR LINES BIGGER? However” such elements of compare and contrast”, make the world the hottest. In that process, they do appear to be vaingloriously victorious initially, and get sucked faster than their thoughts, perished forever. HISTORY SHOWS THEM ALL REPEATEDLY, BUT such-elements, DO NOT CARE.
That’s life. They are like sugar to our life -coffee; one thing you can take a lot of sugar, get energized, taking their deeds in positive attitude; take less sugar, and restrict the corbo- hydrates to show better health aptitude; or finally, ignore the sugar, and keep up the constitution stronger. By all means, once the nature of sugar is understood, you know ,to upkeep your health, physically and mentally strong and live refinery. In kids sugar makes them grow and hyper and so you can grow taking their attitude as publicity, Sugar has to be watched carefully, in the middle ages and youth, so also, watch them carefully, and build your growth on their edifice, using them as a stepping-stone-ladder and kick it out so they burn within themselves more. Sugar is dangerous after 50, so you have all the experiences drawn from them, as to how one should not be, so do climb up the peak and touch the APEX, and keep ignoring them.
AFTER ALL LORD KRISHNA DID HE NOT SAY IN BHAGAVAT GEETHA THAT HE IS THE POSITIVE AND THE NEGATIVE THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE? DO YOU THINK WORLD CAN BE ALIVE WITHOUT SUGAR? “GUNAS “ DO EXIST AND ‘”RAJAS AND THAMAS”” GUNAS TRY TO TORTURE THE “SATWA” AND “SATWA” KNOWS HOW TO USE THE SUGAR CAREFULLY ,OR ELSE HOW “SATWA GUNA” PEOPLE WILL BE HIGH-LIGHTED IN THIS WORLD? AFTER ALL, GOLD DOES NOT ATTRACT UNLESS ITS BEATEN AND BURNT, IS IT NOT?

why obama cant stop outsourcing
Why Obama can't stop outsourcing (from a friend)
The Indian information technology industry has reacted with a mix of hope and caution after President Barack Obama said last week that he will not allow US companies that send jobs away to enjoy his tax breaks.
Obama is presumably talking about industry-specific tax breaks, though the details are not clear yet. But it is clear to me that he cannot go very far.
For instance, the US plan can affect General Motors, which is getting government help. I know from experience that GM is doing advanced design for its next generation of automobiles using aviation-standard materials in Bangalore. Does Obama's budget mean that GM will stop using India as a base for innovation? How will GM keep a global edge?
Now, take Accenture, which many think is a US company. It is actually incorporated in Bermuda. Will a US-based retail company (like J.C. Penney, for instance), handing over IT work to Accenture suffer from Obama's moves? If it does, and rival IBM gets a deal that Accenture might have had, remember that IBM has tens of thousands of employees in India, doing work for US clients. The simple point is that US has itself led efforts in making the world economy in an inter-connected web. The nitty-gritty of crunching IT spending is going to be painful.
US firms have already lost the game of efficiency in automobiles to the Japanese and in overall manufacturing to the Chinese. In pharmaceuticals and services, Indian firms can shake the US in everything but blockbuster product development. If you take new products, IT and distributed global research and development are at the heart of whatever remains of Ameri-can capital efficiency, innovation and competitiveness.
In other words, US firms are no longer US firms, but effectively global firms. By doing harm to what Americans call outsourcing, Obama may be axing a branch he is sitting on. Which is why I see his speech as little more than symbolic post-election posturing. If the benefits of tax breaks are outweighed by the gains of outsourcing, US firms will do what makes more sense to them.

women day
Girl - Mother - Grand Mother –
WAV!!! - Appreciate Her From a friend)
Tomorrow you may propose a working woman,
but you should marry with these facts
firmly grounded in your mind........
Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
who is earning almost as much as you do;
One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have
because she is as human as you are;
One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life
just like you or your Sister haven't,
as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements.
One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters,
almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;
One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind
all that, her home, people who love her,
to adopt your home, your family, your ways
and even your family name,
ie: A tree getting transplanted in a new soil after two decades.
One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep
oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances,
environment and that kitchen
One, who is expected to make tea, first thing in the morning
and cook ood at the end of the day,
even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more,
and yet never ever expected to complain;
to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife,
even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are
as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and
knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding,
or if she learns faster than you;
One, who has her own set of friends, and
that includes boys and even men at her workplace too,
those, who she knows from school days and
yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners
to avoid your irrational jealousy,
unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;
Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can,
but won't, simply because you won't like it,
even though you say otherwise
One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines,
just like yours, are to be met;
One who is to bear your legacy -
enter the motherhood with all pains to make it gains
so that you can proclaim to the world as a proud father,its heritage,
And after sometime enter into grand parenthood too.!!
One, who is doing her level best and
wants to make this most important relationship in her entire life a grand success,
if you just help her some and trust her;
One, who just wants one thing from you,
as you are the only one she knows in your entire house -
Your unstinted support, Your sensitivities and most importantly -
Your understanding, or love, if you may call it.
But not many guys understand this......
Please appreciate "HER" ==========

OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN (myself)
Poet Subramanya Bharathi used a word which I had not seen anywhere viz “Pennil oru peezhaiyurukkudamma” Yes It is-
As women have the chores to perform as duties assigned to women, men have been assigned certain things to do. Women has to take care of her husband and the home in which others reside, preferably husband’s relations. On the contrary a good husband has to take care of his wife children and relatives, apart from securing the worldly wisdom thro non-chalant hard work which is more difficult than, as it would involve psychological clash, aberrations and diplomatic play. Wife plays the foot ball at home ground where winning or losing does not matter, yet it’s a game played. However men play in the open field and have to endure tough competition since so many plays the same style.
God created men and women, made for each other and no one on this earth is EQUAL in all respects. Equality is heartily given and reciprocated, but virtually, there is no equality. Equality is objective and better understanding of the mind keeps up the balance of the earth. Men and women have to respect each other. Even if women are asked to rest, they won’t as their nature and thought process is different. Women think thro the heart and men thro the mind. Women is emotional and men pragmatic. Given the circumstances, one cannot exist without the other and cannot exist individually, whatever their habits and education.
At the same time it has to be accepted that the women by nature have strong heart and willing to sustain and sacrifice to uplift her children which except “thayumanavar” style men (rarity), may find it difficult however god a man he may be. Her world is around her husband and children and for the sake of peace she would endure any extraneous torture, provided she can achieve. Now regarding working women of the present day, well, both have to share, yet fish learn to swim sooner or later, as that is its strength.
Only if men folk understand this and love them more, life is a blooming flower. Yet the same women have the capacity to far exceed neglecting the husband and the family when, women hood descends down to abysmal and world is in chaos. Women pay the price to cross the nature as well as men for allowing it to happen. Problem and the solution is one and the same person and choice is made to carry further. No doubt, women shall deserve the greatness and reciprocate the greatness in men.

One, who just wants one thing from you,
as you are the only one she knows in your entire house -
Your unstinted support, Your sensitivities and most importantly -
Your understanding, or love, if you may call it.
But not many guys understand this......
Please appreciate "HER" ==========

OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN (myself)
Poet Subramanya Bharathi used a word which I had not seen anywhere viz “Pennil oru peezhaiyurukkudamma” Yes It is-
As women have the chores to perform as duties assigned to women, men have been assigned certain things to do. Women has to take care of her husband and the home in which others reside, preferably husband’s relations. On the contrary a good husband has to take care of his wife children and relatives, apart from securing the worldly wisdom thro non-chalant hard work which is more difficult than, as it would involve psychological clash, aberrations and diplomatic play. Wife plays the foot ball at home ground where winning or losing does not matter, yet it’s a game played. However men play in the open field and have to endure tough competition since so many plays the same style.
God created men and women, made for each other and no one on this earth is EQUAL in all respects. Equality is heartily given and reciprocated, but virtually, there is no equality. Equality is objective and better understanding of the mind keeps up the balance of the earth. Men and women have to respect each other. Even if women are asked to rest, they won’t as their nature and thought process is different. Women think thro the heart and men thro the mind. Women is emotional and men pragmatic. Given the circumstances, one cannot exist without the other and cannot exist individually, whatever their habits and education.
At the same time it has to be accepted that the women by nature have strong heart and willing to sustain and sacrifice to uplift her children which except “thayumanavar” style men (rarity), may find it difficult however god a man he may be. Her world is around her husband and children and for the sake of peace she would endure any extraneous torture, provided she can achieve. Now regarding working women of the present day, well, both have to share, yet fish learn to swim sooner or later, as that is its strength.
Only if men folk understand this and love them more, life is a blooming flower. Yet the same women have the capacity to far exceed neglecting the husband and the family when, women hood descends down to abysmal and world is in chaos. Women pay the price to cross the nature as well as men for allowing it to happen. Problem and the solution is one and the same person and choice is made to carry further. No doubt, women shall deserve the greatness and reciprocate the greatness in men.
