From Posters to the Blogspace - Elections 2009

Just thought of writing about Indian National Elections 2009... thatz the way!! We have seen a kind of generational change from the age old posters and wall painting to the new age of blogspace and webpages... thatz what we call it as NextGen!! The US Elections 2008 had shown a young leader who is more tech savvy attracting the youngsters with his ideologies...

This is the season for the Indian General elections... this time the national parties have developed interest in attracting the young population, which they estimate to form around 100 million (between 18-24 years) typically called as first time voters...

I have found a blog site for the BJP prime minister candidate, Mr. LK Advani, looks interesting... check this out, http://blog.lkadvani.in/ and this made me to dig into this...

Also read some facts about Advani, he has become tech savvy carrying the latest tech gadgets like i-phone... but still we can always have a debate in continuing with the elderly prime ministerial candidate in our country... every party wants to get a bit of vote share from the first time voters, which will be very decisive??

The other big national party Indian National Congress is giving bet on its Economic hero, our own PM for the next time...however the party's general secretary Mr. Rahul Gandhi, has always been youth savvy and is a frequent visitor to various colleges in our country... In fact he has become a favorite among the young women voter and also been a model for them...

WoW!! the latest hit from Slumdog millionaire and the universal favorite 'JAI HO!!' has become the title song of congress!! the party has got the copyright for that!! what a change in our system of politics...

In fact Our country is proud to have a CM, in fact the youngest I have ever heard, who is taking care of our beautiful land of north India and also battle field for the neighbours, who else its our own 38 year old CM of Jammu & Kashmir, Mr. Omar Abdullah... hope he will bring in the lost pride to our own land....

The youth in our country should be participating and the parties should be more Youngistan kind.... This is the way our entire system of politics can be changed which needs lot of initiatives by our good old national parties like Indian National Congress and BJP...

Our great elderly leaders show give way to our young people and this would be a real test to our Indian Politics... This we may not see in this year of elections, but if we sow the seeds in this year, probably this could reap benefits in the coming years...

This has become a usual way to end!!! Jai Ho!! Jai Ho to all the young people of this wonderful country!!

I have always seen so many similarities between Sachin and ARR, I do remember the days in college where we have discussed this!!! What a character these people are?? They have everything in life... take from fame to money to fanfare to whatever you say?

But I love their way of openness, SIMPLICITY, humbleness, always positive, Leaders, Inspirers... what to say?? Simply superb!!! Love to be born in this era!!!

End of Satyam...

End of Satyam (The name itself becoming worthless)....

It is one of the bad days in India's corporate side, really socked to hear the statement from the Chairman of Satyam Computers... he had inflated the financial numbers to cook up the cash in the company... It was a clear case of mismanagement and also the worstever corporate governance we have seen in our times...

Whatz the impact?? This will create a fiasco for the 53,000 employees and their families... Hope something will come out pretty soon and any other good companies like TCS, Cognizant.... etc could take over the company and run the business fresh... This will be huge responsibility for the Indian Government and also the entire IT field.

Foreign Investments will be a major hindrance in the coming days, mainly into the Indian IT Sector... What a change we have seen in our lifes with the entry of IT in our country... How come this sudden change of events... I was surprised to read the email of Satyam's Chairman, he has done one of the greatest sin by taking the life of all the associates...

Whatever done will be infact create a bad mark to the entire Indian system of corporate goverance and auditing... Rest leave all this and we should probably do educate our people about the older, traditional value of Indian morals and ethics... This should be a key going forward in taking the next generation towards better and ethical one...

Hope tomorrow may not give a positive surprise to all of us... Things would get going smoothly and probably a better one in the long run of the Indian system...
