Recession is not new to India

Every civilization, every kingdom, every institution have faced recession in the history. Recession is not new to humanity or society. It might be new to the current generation facing it, but not to the humanity as a whole.

From Indus valley civilization to Mayan civilization recession is common. Every civilization born, mature, flourish, saturate, decline(recess) and disappear.

Apocalypto movie shows the Mayan society in its recession.

The kingdom of Alexander had recession and disappeared soon after his dead.

The first largest known empire of India is Mauryan Dynasty founded by Chandra Gupta Mauryar. It reached its peak during Asoka tenure. King Asoka the first ruler who ruled the territory which is larger than the current political territory of India. After his death, within 50 years Mauryan Dynasty disappeared.

Nanda dynasty was earlier to Mauryan dynasty but it was not so big as Mauryan. When Alexander reached Indus Nanda dynasty was ruling northern India.

After Mauryan dynasty there were various kingdom/kings ruled various part of India attained peak stage and recessed or disappeared.

Guptas, Harshar, Kanishkar were worthy of mentioning.

Raja Raja Cholan from Tamilnadu and Krishan Devarayar from Andhra pradhesh were notable kings. Their kingdoms flourished for around 200 years.

The Pragadeeswarar Temple at Tanjore, India built by Chola kingdom reveals how much rich they should be to built such a temple.

Next dynasty which ruled more than the current political map of India is Mughal Empire during Aurangazeb period. After Aurangazeb mughal empire disappeared.

Ancient cities India like Patna, Madurai, Hambi, Kannosi, Delhi were having their importance due to either political or economic or power. Except Delhi none retains its old richness and importance.

The importance and richness were recessed from old cities to new cities. Bombay, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Vizag are having the BUZZ now. They are the cities born during British rule in India. Like in the history, these cities will loose its importance and people buzz, new cities will emerge.

Those who have been living in Chennai, India for more than 30 or 50 years could remember the transition of busy or Buzz points in the city.

When I was a school going boy, Luz corner near mylapoor, mount road around Devi theater and Alankar theatre and Pandy bazaar were busy or buzz points of the city. Paris corner was the busiest Place in Chennai. Now they lost their center of attraction.

Now South Usman road, Ranganathan street in T.Nagar, Purasaiwalkam Garden Area Near Abhirami Mahal, city center, Spencer Plaza, Ispahani Center are buzz points of the Chennai city.

The Indian road king Ambassador car is in its recession. It could not compete with modern car companies.

Guindy and Ambattur Estates were hot spot for private employments for previous generation. Now OMR(Old Mahabalipuram Road) is the hot spot for private employments.

Recession is happening all the time at various level. An individual may face recession personally. Personal recessions are not noticed.

Even now several Indian cotton industries facing recession and people depending on those industries are suffering.

American diamond industry was thriving in Trichy district till a decade back. It had its recession when China captured the world American diamond market. Some of the families, individuals committed suicide from Trichy district during the recession in Indian American diamond industry.

The advent of modern women dresses like Jeans and top, Suridhar, Salwar, Mities eliminated the craze for Silk Saree. Silk Saree industry at Kanchipuram, India is under recession or about to disappear.

What was the economic situation of India, when it attains freedom from British. It was broke not even under recession. What is the situation now.

Indian farmers have faced recession during Jamindari administration, after Independence. Still farmers from different geographical locations of India facing recession. Recession is not new to Indian farmers. They born, grow, suffer, and die in between recessions.

There are sections of Indians who used live with recession and get adjusted to it.

What is the Carbon Storage

Carbon storage is a major problem today since ‘carbon cycling’ is get affected by human activities. The carbon in the atmosphere is sucked by trees. ‘Clearing’ the trees and growing concrete jungles leave the carbon in atmosphere intact.

Moreover, we are using the fossil fuels(coal, oil) since last century. Fossil fuels are noting but a form of carbon. Tons and tons of carbon was unearthed, burnt and released into the air. There is no enough trees to inhale the excess carbon and chemicals or gases of carbon composites in the air.

Since green house gases are nothing but carbon composites, carbon – excess carbon becomes the reason for global warming and climate change.

Scientists and developed nations are investing time and money to deal with excess carbon. If we manage to suck the carbon from atmosphere, where do we store the captured carbons? There are lots of mechanism or chemical processes are available to extract the excess carbon in the atmosphere from all over the world.

The big challenge is where do we store the extracted carbons.

We can not manually bury the excess carbon deep into the earth like fossil fuels. Fossil fuels were buried in earth by nature. Moreover, we can not find a large site to bury such huge quantity of carbons. No country will be ready to be carbon dustbin.

Even if we managed to bury or store the carbon in the earth, it may contaminate the ground water or soil quality.

Store Carbon in Space
We can store the concentrated or condensed carbon in big containers. With the help of a space shuttle / rocket, we can throw the containers into outer space and push them move infinitely away from earth. It is highly cost effective and more ‘carbons’ will be released from rockets in the process.

Store Carbon in Sea
We can store carbons in the big water proof ships. Let the ships sink deep into the sea with the carbon. We need to make sure the ship is water proof. In this way more quantity of carbon can be stored into sea. Sea seems to be the alternative carbon storage house.

The finest solution for storing carbon is Growing Trees. Grow more trees. Trees are natural carbon storage houses. They are the ‘crux’ in carbon cycling. When trees are cut, carbon cycle will be incomplete.

Instead of finding a innovative scientific solution, we can ‘build’ natural carbon storage houses. Let us do not reinvent the wheel again, let the old wheel roll again to complete carbon cycle.

Opportunities in Recession

Psychologist have good opportunity during recession. There is boom in depression, suicidal attempts/victims, frustration among jobless people. Doctors have to do their business in full swing to attend the recession stimulated mental patients.

Cell phone sales is not slowed down during recession, instead it may be increasing. Cell Phone Servicing will have high demand and job openings irrespective of recession. Learn Cell phone servicing and become a cell phone technician. Mobile phone industry is not affected in recession.

Sales jobs are always having openings irrespective of recession. Those who lost their ‘sitting job’ can try out a sales job, which also reduce their fat level accumulated in their ‘sitting job’.

Human resource development and personality development have scope to improve the confidence level of emerging graduates/freshers since no openings for them. So self development firm can conduct interview training, interpersonal skills, etc. to keep them engaged.

During recession or economic crisis government may initiate major construction projects. So civil engineers , contractors, mason labors have good job opportunity.

Collection Executive jobs will have more openings in recession. Many who took loan before recession can not repay the EMI, so more collection executives will be deployed to dodge loan/credit card defaulters to get the money.

Recession will create a restlessness, confusion among people. This may be headache to ruling government of developed nations. So to divert the people’s attention from recession, developed countries may engage in war with weaker countries. So there may job openings in military and weapon related industry.

News papers and publishing medium have permanent headline or topic to scream called recession. Reporters will collection information and statistics about global recession all over the world and keep the public panic. There may be small job opening in journalism or more if developed countries start the war.

Spiritual Gurus or corporate Gurus and their missionaries and assistants will be busy dealing with depressed people, giving solace and hope for a better tomorrow. Good opening is always in the spiritual sector.

Internet Literature

Is everything written in internet are literature? There are plenty of content written in Internet. Are the part of Literature?

If a word spoken is language, everything written is literature. There may copied content in Internet. People simply copy content from another websites and post it their website with or without changing the words. This is eGarbage.

There is another type of copying is cGarbage. That is Concept Garbage.

God Divinity Salvation
The concept of plot of Milton’s Paradise Lost is God or divinity. The concept of Pilgrim’s Progress By John Bunyan is God or Divinity. There are various and countless works written woven around God, Divinity, Salvation. These three are copied as concept or theme for many or countless early literary works.

Love
Love is the theme of millions of literary works from all over the world in all the languages. From Romeo and Juliet to Lila Majnu all sharing the central theme Love.

There is no single concept which is unique and not copied over. When cGarbage can be called as Literature, eGarbage also can be called as Literature.

Efficiency in writing is different from simply writing.
I am able to speak is different from, I am an Orator. But all are speeches. The quality of writing may differ but what ever is written is content and it is literature.

Internet is Literature.

In the next centuries, Internet literature will be studied as part of English Literature. Internet Literature is global. Like American Literature, Indian Literature, Internet Literature will have its niche in English Literature.

Work without Ego

Ego plays important role in all types of relationship. Main disturbance to peace of mind is Ego. We have to establish and maintain relationship with our colleagues. Unfortunately we mix our ego while working.

We get ego frictioned with others, even sometimes with boss or management too. Later we begin groupism. We gossip about our ego target. Hot words are exchanged often. Hypocrytic criticism. We do not concentrate on the work. We prefer to keep thinking about our ego opponents. Even after working hours, we think and speak about our work place enemies.

Why do we work?
We ultimately forget why do we work? We are working for salary and carrier improvement. We are not working to fight or jealous with others. We will be obsessed with the thoughts of our ego target. Find faults on them. Keep criticising them. Finally we lose sleep, our main purpose of going to work place will be fight with the colleagues, but not to work. Work becomes secondary.

Ninety percent of the Job hobbing is because of Ego friction between superior and sub-ordinate relationship.

Superior harass the sub-ordinate. Sub-ordinate fights back. He does all sorts of irritation to superior. Both are wasting their time and energy in their ego friction. They waste office resource too.

One fine morning sub-ordinate joins in a new company with or without intimating his current company as a sort of revenge. Afterwards, he repeats the same ego fight in the new company. When it has become current company, he will jump to other company. This is a cycle. There will be no end for ego friction.

We can avoid such ego friction by simple adjustment, forgiving other’s mistakes, avoid intruding to other’s nose, accept people as they are, little bit obedience and a smiling face.

Apply your creativity, innovativeness in work place, not your ego. Ego is not worthy of single penny in work place.

At the same time do not be too good. Keep distance in your relationship in office, otherwise you will be disturbed a lot. Intimacy loose respect. Once you loose respect, which is a minimum due, your ego will be wounded. You should have a cordial relationship with a privilege to say ‘NO’ when you like to say NO. Maintain a minimum privacy and space for you.

Maintain a privacy and biological space for yourself and respect other’s privacy and space. You never breach other’s boundary and never allow anybody to breach your boundary.

It is almost like driving. Even though you are a good driver, but you should aware of bad drivers. They will come with you on the road. At the same time respect others.

Respect your immediate boss. They may be younger than you, they may less skilled than you, but respect them. You may be smarter than your boss, but accept them as they are.

Salary and roles are not only decided by skill and experience alone, but many other things are involved. Timings, relationship and many other non-skill based factors are there.

A boss may depute his son as head of the department to some branch. There may be some experienced and skilled persons (may be you) in the office. They are most suitable for the post. But it is Boss’ decision. You are wrong if you feel get wounded or your ego get hurt. Boss takes care of the company more than you. He loves his company more than you love.

Do not compare the salary and powers of others, especially with your immediate supervisor. As long as you are working for salary, you will have an immediate or reporting boss. Learn to adjust with them. Wherever you go this is the case. People are same everywhere.

Survival of a company is depending on reliable people, success of the company is depending an skilled people. To be succeed first thing needed is being alive.

Success is meaningless if you are not alive. So it is natural that company needs ‘reliable’ people very badly than skilled people. Skill can be hired. Reliability has to be groomed. Management grants more freedom, power and comfort to reliable people.

Either you transform yourself to reliable people of the company or at least obey to reliable people. Otherwise you cannot continue in a company even for one year. You may have worked in more than four companies within three years if you are not aware of these concepts.

Kill your ego at working place. Working place will be a paradise.

Jealousy Colleague’s Attack
Those who have jealous over you, try to disturb you or distract you in many ways.

Mobile Blogging

Mobile blogging will be the next technical buzz in the internet as well as mobile phones. It has been long since Internet and Mobile phones trying to merge. The recently released Samsung Star Touch seems to be a pioneer in the endeavors to merge Internet and Mobile phone.

Mobile bloggers will emerge and write for mobile phone users. Concise contents. All the top blogging sites like wordpress, blogger, blogspot, drupal and etc. will release their mobile version of site administration to post content from mobile phone.

The SMS senders can quickly emerge as mobile bloggers since they have better dexterity in keypads of mobile phones rather than computer bloggers. Whatsapp addicted people may be successful in mobile blogging.

Content posted from mobile phone on the move, both text and graphic contents. This is the only difference from normal blogging. In normal case, the content is posted from computer.

Mobile bloggers can post/blog on the move. This will be more useful for travelers and travel blogs and journalists. They can catch things on the spot and post immediately. Wherein computer blogging they need to find a computer at home or office or at cafe to post things.

Apart from the device where content is posted, there will be no big difference or limitation to mobile blogging. Mobile bloggers can type lengthy content depending upon their patiency and fingering skills.

There are many widgets available to upload/send graphic elements from mobile phone to web. Take snap in the mobile phone camera and post in the photo blog instantly.

Mobile blogging will come under the domain of mobile computing. We can not predict whether mobile computing will replace desktop computing.

So far, Laptops have not replaced desktop computing. Hope mobile and laptop and desktop computing will exists without eliminating one another.

Procrastination Saves Money

Procrastination is also good. It saves money.

Procrastination is considered as a wrong or bad habit normally. But it has good aspect too.

Procrastination is bad if it is applied to good things. It is good if applied to bad things.

You do not want to completely stop an activity or addiction, but you like to reduce the frequency of the activity (Reduce number of time you indulge in that activity). You can procrastinate it.

Procrastination Saves Money
Many people are addicted to shopping. Either need or want, they buy things which they are not going to use it. Women are addicted to shopping more than men.

If you procrastinate buying what you want or procrastinate going to shopping, it saves your money.

For example, I smoke ten cigarettes a day. I like smoking. I do not like to completely stop it, but want to reduce the count. When I have the appetite to smoke, I can procrastinate the temptation. So if I procrastinate for six times, my count would be four. Procrastination helps to reduce number of cigarettes per day.

We can procrastinate expressing certain emotions till we get a safety outlet to ventilate.

You have fallen in love. You want to express it to your lover. When you meet your lover, he/she is with their parents are attending some function or in party. Procrastinate your decision to express your love. You will find a nice opportunity a loneliness to express your love.

Divorce can Recover Marriage Expense

In a marriage there are recoverable and non-recoverable expenses. In case of divorce non-recoverable expenses can not be redeemed.

The money spent for Marriage hall, rich food, light music, decorations, bridal and bridegroom makeups, if Bus or Van arranged to pick and drop relatives, printing invitations are can not be redeemed by divorce.

The jewels given as dowry, cost of dresses for spouses not for relatives (In some marriages new dresses will be gifted to relatives), vessels presented to Bride are can be redeemed.

In short money, spent to buy asset in marriage can be redeemed after divorce. Money spent for services in marriages can not be redeemed after divorce.

One of my neighbor spent around 4 lakhs for food alone in their daughter’s marriage. Within six months she returned home and applied for divorce. The 4 lakhs spent for the food which was served to more than 2000 people attended the marriage can not be recovered. They may need to spend another 4 lakhs or less for her second/next marriage.

Nowadays, divorce seems to be happening often. Many love marriages are ended in divorce like ‘bounce back’ after marriages. Couple might have been loving for years and years, but after marriages they get divorced quickly.

Arranged marriage done bombastically by the parents with their ‘last money’. If the marriage get divorced, they are empty to cover the expense of another marriage.

An government employee who spent is retirement fund to his daughter marriage. He lavishly spent all his money in the marriage. Within 2 years his daughter’s marriage life broken. Either she divorced or got divorced. Now the ’emptied’ father does not have money to do the second marriage.

It is better to avoid spending too much in marriages since there is no guarantee that the marriages will last for long time. Keep some reserve fund for second marriage if divorce happened.

If you are the father and about to spend 10 lakhs for your daughter’s marriage, here are the options to manage second marriage.

1) keep a reserve fund.

2) Do not spend too much in marriage, like finish off the marriage within 1 or 2 lakhs. Give the portion of the amount periodically to your daughter in the next years. This may avoid the divorce initiated from your son-in-law since year s/he will receive some lump sum amount. During these years they might have settled down to live and adjust with each other with their respective negatives.

It is similar to the periodical payout release in Reverse Mortgage Loan.

If you belong to middle class or upper middle class income group, beware of spending too much or emptying yourself in your kids marriages.

Divorce has penetrated the middle class society. Divorce is no longer the property of Cine actor/actress. Educated middle and upper middle class couples are engaging in divorce casually. For them ‘divorce’ is not a big word or unreachable horizon like previous generations.

Parents may need to get their kids marry once, twice, or more. So reduce the expense spent for marriages.

Blogging Literature reflects life

Does Blogging literature reflects life? There are plenty of content written in Blogs. Are they qualified to be Literature?

Blogging is a Digital Literature. It reflects the life in all the aspects when it is written.

Blogging reflects the life of the blogger from individual point of view to traditional and national level. It reflects the current trend his time and place. By reading a blog we can come to know about the person who writes it. By reading the blogs of particular language or particular country it is possible to extract the information about the country. If we read the blogs for period of time, we can know the trends and currents in those period.

Five years back there were more technical content in internet. Now more personal content. Now more product reviews, personal review of a products are available. In the future something may be dominating as content which may be different from now. The trend of a time, trend of a place is clearly and vividly recorded in blogs.

Blogs help us to study regional wise, national wise, race wise.

Blogs of Israel tell the happenings in Israel. Tech blogs tell the technical advancement in the society.

Samsung Marine a mobile phone is introduced in India. By reading an Indian blog an European can come to know about Samsung Marine, which is not sold in Europe.

Culture and traditional changes of every society and country is clearly reflected in blogs.

Blogging does the role of ancient literature to us. When our period becomes ancient to future generations our blogs will help them to study of life, history, culture like we study the ancient time through its literature.
