Management Principles and Hinduism

May 11th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Applying Trimurti concept from Hinduism to Western Business concept in isolation can not bring big change either to the organization or the society in which it operates. Instead of trying to find parallels to a small activity in Hinduism, the learned professors in West be Indian or others should try to understand the Hinduism in totality. You should not apply Hinduism concept of work ethics to produce weapons of mass destruction for huge profit.

India and Spiritualism

Sex and Supreme Court

April 3rd, 2010 · 1 Comment

Supreme Court of India approves pre-marital sex. Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu supports citing “KaLavial” in Thirukkural as part of Tamil Culture. Shyam Benegal says “government has no role to play between two consenting adults” and thus supports homosexuality. A TV channel discusses “Commercialization of Sex” with intellectuals. I advise students and youngsters to say “no” to pre-marital sex. The pseudo intellectuals, leaders, artists and liberal media are all victims of the big business forces. So, dump them and follow our culture and lead a healthy life and restore the past glory of the Great India and it’s culture.

झुक गयी गुजरात!

March 18th, 2010 · No Comments

कुछ दिन पहले अखबार में पड़ा कि पर्यटन को बढावा देने के लिए गुजरात, धारु का अनुमती दे दी. सबसे बड़ा रुपैय्या! ठीक, आखिर गांधीजी की निशान गुरजत से मिट गयी. परवाह नहीं! गांधीजी सिर्फ गुजरात में ही नहीं और कहीं भी जी रहे हैं. आज भी कासानकाटु गाँव, तमिल नाडू में गांधीजी की याद [...]

ஒண்ணுக்கு பட்ற பாடு!

March 14th, 2010 · No Comments

“மதுரை டு தேனீ வழி ஆண்டிப்பட்டி” சினிமாவில் கேட்டது: அவனவன் ஒரு ரூபாய்க்கு ஒரு கிலோ அரிசி போடறான்; நீ என்னடான்னா ஒண்ணுக்கு அடிக்கிறதிக்கே 2 ரூபா கேக்கிரியேப்பா! முதல்வரின் கவனத்திற்கு! பெங்களூரில் ஒரு பெட்ரோல் பங்கில் நின்று காலை உணவு உண்ணச் சென்றோம். பிறகு, கழிப்பறைக்குச் சென்றோம். முதலில் நானும் என் நண்பரும் சென்றோம். பிறகு, லேடீசை அனுப்பினோம். சிறுது நேரத்தில் சில்லறை கேட்டு திரும்பி வந்தார்கள். நான் சென்று கேட்ட பணத்தை கொடுத்து, “எங்களிடம் [...]
