November 3, 2007. I normally tend not to bring cheap language in a public place, but if you read the following news item which appeared in The Times of India. Today, you would probably abuse me for using a mild lauguage. Of course, I agree, many such incidents don’t come out in open. Here it goes for you:. Google, which owns Orkut, had cooperated with them but the vital IP address (computer number) was provided by the service provider Bharti (Airtel). Bharti said that the IP address belonged to a Lak...

July 13, 2006. It was just another morning for me. My usual daily chore at the gym. It was 9AM, there was a group of school students who had come to the nearby auditorium to participate in a talent contest. This was a group of boys, all looked like they are in the 10th standard, seated on the parapet wall, voraciously reading and writing, not books or paper, instead mobile phones. I started my bike and started riding it through the busy Mount Road thinking………. Obviously the guys were not talking about an...

May 17, 2006. All those in the capital markets and on the finance business are familiar with the Big Bull operators. It was in the early 1990s India saw the emergence of a rogue bull Harshad Mehta and towards the end of that decade another rogue bull started spinning the markets. This time around it was Ketan Parekh. Well, if you thought that Ketan and Harshad were the two biggest bull operators you are sadly wrong. For in my view, the biggest bull operator for the moment is Finance Minister P Chidambaram.

RTI! A special tool | Lively Buddy!!

November 2, 2007. When the Right to Information Bill was passed and became an Act, I was never sure about the efficacy of the Act itself. For, again, you will have to go through a whole process of writing letters, getting sanctions etc etc. However, it is good that at the end of it all, you will get that critical info, which was denied to you. Or is TN such a bad location, that you need to sweeten offers to bait investors? As a citizen, I have a right to know who gets Government land and at what price?

March 29, 2006. As a nation we fail to respect people who are the fulcrum to the freedom that we enjoy. This piece in The Times of India. Projects the sorry state of affairs at the various awards that are presented to the armed forces. When allowances of government employees, private sector staff, lawmakers et all, why shouldnt we do something about to the armed forces? A pittance for laying life on line. New Delhi: Guess how much a Param Vir Chakra (PVC) winner gets? Punjab, of course, is among the &ldq...

April 24, 2006. It was Saturday morning and the Metro Water office in Adayar got complaints from local residents living along Kasturiba Nagar III Cross about sewer blocks.

February 28, 2006. I am excited with the fact that that we are only hours away when it is death of distance. India has finally crumbled the entire country into a local call. Thanks to Dayanidhi Maran. Union IT and Telecom Minister. While, the nuts and bolts of the `One India’. Plan has to be hammered out, it is just question of completion of formalities before you can make a call from any nook in India to any corner for just one rupee. Isn’t that fantastic. Three cheers to OneIndia. February 28, 2006.

November 10, 2007. In the light of booming private equity/venture capital investments in companies in India, the first (and in some cases, most bastardised) term that goes around in the markets is corporate governance. What level of corporate governance your company follows? How transparent is your set up? To the Board of Directors of PeopleSupport, Inc.:. We ask that the Board immediately issue a statement clearly and unequivocally rescinding the recently announced real estate strategy. We remind the Bo...

This was confirmed by Airbus sources who did not wish to be quoted. A Reliance spokesperson refused to comment. After all the gift he gave her was something...
