When the entire country was averring nothing can be done to eradicate this menace, he came with a solution known to the subsequent govts.but none of them tried to put efforts of ordain this bill. Critics say that this is not as effective as we think it will be. This is myth that CAG and CVC are analogous to LOKPAL . These statements are just to demystify the truth and derail the crusade against corruption. A defunct and controlled Lokpal office exists in states like Karnataka, MP , Maharashtra etc in which the most successful&amp;nbsp; in tackling corruption was Lokayukta&amp;nbsp; Santosh Hegre in Karnataka who helped demystify the illegal mining happening for decades now in North Karnataka.&amp;nbsp; He is pragmatic and an intellectual man with a strong will power. He is an important part of Anna team which included Arvind Kejriwal (an IIT graduate and now a social worker), Kiran Bedi ( a renowned Social Worker) and many more. Anna is leading the most desirable change in the history of Independent India. One of the important aspects which make it more effective when compared to previous attempts to bring Lokpal Bill is that the youth of the country is on streets with their innovative ways to express their rage. Youngsters are taking full advantage of the information age. Communication is faster than the speed of light. I am happy that this crusade make to the Time Magazine's one of the top 10 stories&amp;nbsp; Under such circumstances no one can stop us achieve our goal as the conditions are conducive to bring prosperity, growth and stability in India.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If you ask me about my take on Lokpal Bill i would say most of the clauses in the present Lokpal are acceptable except few. Bringing PMO under the Lokpal ambit is a sensitive issue but it is not impossible. In that case Lokpal alone should not have the authority to audit PMO. A Lokpal should seek permission from CJI and President to do so. Same way bringing judiciary under Lokpal is acceptable but to scrutinize Supreme Court Judges and CJI,&amp;nbsp; Lokpal&amp;nbsp; should keep PMO office and President in confidence. Other clause which says that lower bureaucracy, CBI etc be in the ambit of Lokpal should be acceptable undoubtedly.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  I feel Anna should not have allowed politicians to share the same stage as he stated in the beginning of the stir. Now he is trying to involve Opposition which is depicted in his latest Fast day 12th December. I somehow feel that adding political flavor to the "Ann Shan" was not required. This depicts the weakness of the Anna team to fight alone.&amp;nbsp; I suspect that this issue will turn political and will end up with no results. UPA Government is bound to pass Lokpal Bill during this winter session otherwise the movement will turn to be a mass movement and bigger than any other movement happened ever before. UPA should be ready for the backwash of ignoring Anna in the upcoming assembly polls if it fails to live up to our expectations. Still we can hope for the best and welcome 2012 with a efficacious LOKPAL bill in place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4346009112234815499-4517420617021727757?l=neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/feeds/4517420617021727757/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/gripping-struggle-for-strong-lokpal.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/4517420617021727757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/4517420617021727757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/gripping-struggle-for-strong-lokpal.html' title='Gripping Struggle For Strong &apos;LOKPAL&apos;.'/><author><name>Neeraj Bhatyal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-XcUp5jpayVo/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/ZCObepGyK00/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346009112234815499.post-6207249795868586899</id><published>2011-07-19T10:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-19T10:38:31.474-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Triskaidekaphobia...A Reality or A Myth</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;

of July 2011 Mumbaikars were filled with trepidation and the whole India underwent nervous trembling and apprehension after the ubiquitous breaking news on all the news channels. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I came to know about yet another serial bomb blasts at around 6pm on that fateful evening. But this time I was not surprised, rather I felt as if this is a routine or I was suspecting this to happen. In spite of lamenting and languishing, I didn’t felt any change in myself. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I am befuddled by my behavior. Have I accepted that I can’t do anything other than waiting for the next blast to happen? &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Whom should I blame for this? I don’t have answers as of now.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                &lt;/span&gt;India is not ready for any contingency as the governance is incorrigible and what can be inferred from the present UPA’s behavior is that even the stakeholders are inert, indolent, and inept. Reverent incumbent prime minister is mum as usual; future PM candidate Rahul Gandhi again gave irresponsible comment that it was virtually impossible to stop all terrorist attacks, though every attempt was being made by the government and security agencies to do so; Digvijay Singh supported Rahul and made derogatory comment that RSS is a bomb factory. Succinctly it is nothing less than SHAME!!!!!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                &lt;/span&gt;A separate discussion started about why they chose 13/07/2011. Some said Kasab’s birth day falls on this date.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Some said it is to reestablish the fear of number 13, Triskaidekaphobia. This is not mandatory why they chose this date, but it is important that why they chose my country. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;How dare they do this again?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;When will we put an end to this sporadic network of terrorism supported by fundamentalists and enemies of humanity? &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Recently I read one article on internet that planning and execution of bomb blasts is outsourced. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I am astonished by these barbaric acts and the vitriolic speeches of their bosses from across the border. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;When I expect the government to be scrupulous, UPA govt is met with few scattered pockets of sardonic laughter. Our prime minister is so taciturn that we often discovered that we have absolutely no idea what he is thinking. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;We have misconstrued his potential; he does not possess leadership qualities. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Sonia Gandhi is the real prime minister of the country. He is the person who is made accountable for all the wrong deeds. UPA should come up with some plan to combat terrorism and an effective security policy otherwise this is high time when country should think of an alternative in the center. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;We should change our ephemeral nature of not remembering these incidents. India should put an end to the wanton acts of terrorists , moists&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;, naxals etc&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;on a &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;helpless populace to make their point. We should not enervate or deviate from our mission of eradicating this heinous crime from our planet.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;Mumbai attack instigated Hillary Clinton's India visit. Is this a indication of stronger INDO-US ties in near future? &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Indian foreign policy towards US altered after the Pokhran test. It is the vision of the then Prime minister of the country, Mr. A.B. Vajpayee. There after I have seen a gradual improvement in the Indo-US relations. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;India and USA are natural allies; One the world’s largest democracy and another world’s oldest democracy. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;What should we call it and how should we look at it? &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I see some vested interest of US. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Firstly, US is losing its ground in Pakistan and most importantly trusting Pak's ambiguous behavior can prove fatal for the American Middle East policy. Secondly, US economy is dependent on India to a major extent both in US as well as India. Last but not the least is the growth of China in the last decade which is difficult for the Americans to digest. China is a potential threat to both India as well as US. Considering all the above facts It is beneficial for both the countries to work together at the time when both are facing the menace of terrorism. It is inevitable to have better relations to combat terrorism. But at the same time India need to be conscious as US is known for its selfish instincts and deeds in the past. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;We need to take calculated risk as a growing economy; India can’t take US for granted following Obama’s Buffallo to Banglore remarks and strict Visa policies. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;We should assimilate that USA is a perspicacious and shrewd partner, before believing his veracity and going into any pact or agreement with them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4346009112234815499-6207249795868586899?l=neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/feeds/6207249795868586899/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/triskaidekaphobiaa-reality-or-myth.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/6207249795868586899'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/6207249795868586899'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/triskaidekaphobiaa-reality-or-myth.html' title='Triskaidekaphobia...A Reality or A Myth'/><author><name>Neeraj Bhatyal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-XcUp5jpayVo/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/ZCObepGyK00/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346009112234815499.post-7602459621473145838</id><published>2010-11-17T03:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-17T22:02:44.020-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='INDIA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='USA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><title type='text'>Obama: Modest, Diplomatic and a class orator</title><content type='html'>In the recent past, the festive season brought lot of happiness and most importantly firmness in the Indo-US relations. The White House guardian, Senate Barack Hussein Obama, paid homage to the nation in general and the father of the nation specifically. He put an end to all prior speculations on his stand on Indo-US relations, Kashmir issue, Indo-Pak relations and many more. He proved again to be a class orator and a very good diplomat, when he changed his stance in the Delhi auditorium after his prior conduct in Washington and Mumbai which was opposed by some parties in India. One thing was admirable and that is the Knowledge of Obama and his reverence for the father of nation, Mahatma Gandhi. It is the undiscriminating attitude and regard of the peace loving soul for the humanity, irrespective of the caste, color or creed, which makes him undoubtedly an ideal man. Another mirthful comment was the presence of a comrade in the gathering. Obama stressed on strong Indo-US relations and employment generation which was dubious to some extend.&lt;br /&gt;What we envisioned in him is different than what he is. His speech was awe inspiring, motivational and full of veneration. He is the first person to affirm by saying: “Who says that India is a developing nation? In fact India is already a developed nation and deserves a permanent seat in UN Security Council.” Although his admission of India deserving permanent membership is opposed by some nations, it is still a welcome step. He added, “Fusion of world’s largest and oldest Democracies is mandatory to stabilize and rediscover the world.” I feel proud and on top of the world when someone who is not a native Indian respects India, its culture, people and its contribution to the world in different forms. At the same time I feel ashamed when an Indian becomes a maverick, be it a moist or a terrorist. Both the countries have mutual benefits of a good relation. The communism in China, and its suspecious  and  irresponsible  role  to support N Korea  raises a question mark on Sino-US relations. But USA and India are democracies and are natural allies. In other words both are inevitable part of each other’s welfares.&lt;br /&gt;Today, from top to the bottom you will find Indian representation, be it affluence, impoverishment, cultural richness, secularism, business representation, economic growth, technology, or anything else. But corruption is also there and holds a place in the long list which is a serious matter of concern. Choose any X Y Z field, we have attained acme in some and will achieve in the rest. No one can beat us and I affirm by saying “Catch Us If You Can”. Even Obama’s “Buffalo to Bangalore” comment is contradicted by his speech when he said that the digital world is India’s proprietary as ZERO (which represents 50% of the digital technology) is India’s find and contribution to the world. In totality, Obama’s visit is a win-win situation for India.&lt;br /&gt;Obama’s definition of India is different than our definition of modern India. On top of his awe inspiring and laudatory words for shining India the biggest concern is the growing poverty, unemployment, growing urban as well as slum population and many more issues which need to be addressed as early as possible. It is noticed in the recent past that the business families in India are ready to shower millions on the Bollywood actress/actor for a simple marriage ceremony. Now the question is that, if a ‘guthka business family’ can spend millions of dollars in a marriage just to entertain and have Bollywood, why can’t they give some part of it back to the society from which they are generating this. Why can’t we Indian entrepreneurs invest in India rather than investing in foreign land? When the world looks at India Inc. a profitable market, why you are not able to visualize the fact and understand the criticality of the matter. In the recenthet past we have seen lot of foreign investment which is bouncing the  SENSEX. Top nations which contributed to it are Mauritius, Cyprus, and  USA. India has lot of potential of higher returns on investment because  of being underdeveloped. Infrastructure is one of the areas which  require lot of attention. Growing need of wider roads and alternative  means of transport like metros, bullet trains etc. which will  consequently imply that our energy needs will grow. This can act as a  food of thought for the entrepreneurs, incumbent Govt. and the  struggling politicians and the opposition. We need to be generous enough  to do something for the society and the people of India. Moreover the  bottom line is that every Indian needs to think on those lines by  imparting awareness among people and increasing  literacy rate. We should educate people to believe in nuclear families. There is no point is crying horse if we can’t contribute to the society.&lt;br /&gt;I was guessing the same what happened immediately after Obama’s visit was over। The UPA Govt put an end to the baffling story of corruption. I thought the crescendo is yet to be achieved to sack The CWG chairman, The Spectrum Raja and The CM of Maharashtra. It was high time when some action was expected from the Govt. after the uproar in the parliament and mayhem in the media and public. Opposition is forcing to have a joint parliamentary committee to investigate the matter but already cornered Govt. is reluctant to entertain the demand. Let us see what will happen in the near future, but what we can say right now is that Indo-US relations are bound to grow considering the nature of challenges faced by both the nations.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4346009112234815499-7602459621473145838?l=neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/feeds/7602459621473145838/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/obama-modest-diplomatic-and-class.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/7602459621473145838'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/7602459621473145838'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/obama-modest-diplomatic-and-class.html' title='Obama: Modest, Diplomatic and a class orator'/><author><name>Neeraj Bhatyal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-XcUp5jpayVo/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/ZCObepGyK00/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346009112234815499.post-4619760421335508681</id><published>2010-09-21T05:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-07T07:12:51.130-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Independence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kashmir'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jammu'/><title type='text'>I want to get rid of this slavery.</title><content type='html'>Turmoil in the Kashmir Division for the last 3-4 months is impelling me to express my viewpoint which will throw some light on the cause of the issue. A slap on the face of UPA  and its coalition partner NC, left them red faced. Today i want to raise a question which neither Congress nor National Conference(NC) can answer. Kashmir Issue grown into a banyan tree, with its roots deep enough to be cut. The roots of the issues are entangled with the Congress and NC because of the wrong deeds of Nehru-Gandhi Family and Abdullaha Family. So this adage will help you understand it better:   "AS YOU SOW SO SHALL YOU REAP".  Separatists are adroit enough to exploit the situation ignited by Lt. Sh. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Lt. Sheikh Mohammad Abdullaha(Grandfather of Omar Abdullaha). All the parliamentary delegations and HM/PM visits are futile until and unless you understand the crux of the matter and what Kashmiris want. The rage in the youth of kashmir is because of the hatred induced  in the  youngster's blood for the last 2 decades. They have brooded a conspiracy  some years back which is getting executed now. Just because Jawaharlal Nehru was not able to include J&amp;amp;K in post independent india, he left a dispute which took so many lives and dont know how many are still to be lost. India lost the battle  when the exile of the then King of J&amp;amp;K Maharaja Hari Singh and handing over the powers  subsequently to Nehru's close aide and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Kashmiri bhai&lt;/span&gt;, Sheikh Abdullah.This expatriation can  prove to be facial blemish for congress if this issue is not resolved ASAP.&lt;br /&gt;             Exploitation of Kashmir issue by Pakistan  is  because of certain important critical aspects. First Kashmir is a Muslim dominated area, which was not the case some years back when Pandits were there. Another important aspect is that Kashmir is a border state adjoining belligerent Pakistan. Third important aspect which is the reason why they are intrested in either joining  Pakistan or  an independent Kashmir  including POK. I am amazed to hear  statement of Musharraf on the launch of his party. Musharraf said," We still remember the time when India divided Pakistan and helped Bangladesh to seperate". He added, "Yes, we have raised terrorist camps in POK and are brooding Millitants on our land to take revenge of what india did with us."  What we can make out of this is that we don't need to prove their ill wills which they are saying with pride.&lt;br /&gt;           Kashmir was independent the movement Shaikh Abdullaha became the CM. Since then 99% time it is being ruled by the autocratic leaders of Kashmir. In other words independence of Kashmir is nothing more than a mirage and can not be resolved until and unless they themselves understand what is right and wrong.  But we people of Jammu and Laddakh are unnecessarily getting involved in this crap. What i feel that we are the real SLAVES. I want independence from this slavery. I want to come with India, be a part of India, grow with India. Why are you stopping me to  join India? Is it because i love my country?  Is being patriotic means i should lose my jobs every time in an economic or unemployment package to Kashmir. Each time selection lists in govt. sector jobs is manipulated or rules are changed to help Kashmiri's get it.  Do you want me to be a maverick or anti-national like them to be heard? This is a BIG question which i am raising today  to be answered. Government of India has to take special measures, otherwise i see a threat or whole country getting disintegrated as Europe, USSR or any other national disintegration. The basis of division can be  any (language ,religion, region, race, or discrimination as in Jammu or North East). We need immediate redressal of the grievances and scores because the people are getting alienated. Jai Hind.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4346009112234815499-4619760421335508681?l=neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/feeds/4619760421335508681/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-want-to-get-rid-of-this-slavery.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/4619760421335508681'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/4619760421335508681'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-want-to-get-rid-of-this-slavery.html' title='I want to get rid of this slavery.'/><author><name>Neeraj Bhatyal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-XcUp5jpayVo/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/ZCObepGyK00/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346009112234815499.post-6773041856833511669</id><published>2010-09-21T03:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-04T23:39:49.773-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reading and Writing'/><title type='text'>Reading versus Writing</title><content type='html'>Since long i didn't wrote anything and i have lot of excuses to make but no valid reason. Someone wisely said that barely reading suppresses your thought process and  one day makes you foolish. I am experiencing the repercussions of the same bad habit of(not writing)  not letting my brain work independently. Writing can be a very good pastime with astoundingly good results. Writing is a skill which you can not imitate by reading other writer's stuff. I still remember and feel the extra edge a student gains just by practicing and putting his thoughts down on paper. Don't take me otherwise, i am not against reading. In fact reading is a very good habit. Reading followed by ruminating  and pondering over the subject to understand the thought process of writer is important which we must not avoid. This is also important what you read. Make sure you read less of fictional, filthy stuff  and more of inspirational and  motivational books. Although it is almost incorrigible when u r grown up, but the writing fad will help you improve your personality. If you don't , some day or the other you will feel the difference and its importance.

He was a seasoned professional, having MBA from IIM C and leading his own start up S/W company. His remarks were acrid, but i felt every bit of it a reality of each one of us. I remember when i got into an engineering college , i felt on top of the world.  But in no time i realized the heat. Four years of my life were unforgettable and tiresome. When i completed my degree, i said WOWOOOO.......I got placed in a reputed IT Company, with a handsome remuneration and perks. I felt that now i need not worry. I was happy to be out of my regular studies; ready to rejuvenate.  But, for the last four years i am in a quandary.  Every evening i ask myself; what am i doing; what is my goal; what i want to achieve and many more. I am baffled and perplexed and sometimes i feel frustrated as well.  I strongly agree that there are pros and cons of each and every thing in this world. This corporate world tought me lot many things. My perspective changed, i have new goals now which are double the complexity, as it was some time back. But now i need a change  from this humdrum, unamusing s/w development field.  This is what i actualized  when i had a chat with that fellow. I felt as if he is scanning my mind and addressing all my frustration. He said, "You need to visualize your dreams and convert them into reality". But the question is, how?  Who the hell in this world don't want to get his/her dreams come true? He added "Mind it, i am not talking about dreams which you see with closed eyes rather dream seen with open oculi." I believe, we should dream high, but be realistic and determined. Determinations is a major factor which plays a vital role in the growth of a successful person. "Be internally driven not externally". Utter loud when you are frustrated or feeling low. Be focused and motivated, you can win the game. Don't get excited when you are offered something lucrative. Think, suppose you lose the same , how much pain it can give you.  Incubate new idea, engulf good thoughts and implement. After a little introspection i felt that reality is a myth. And the myth is that successful persons are bestowed with blessings and luck. Luck is a myth in itself. Reality is that, one who is working hard, without halt, is the ultimate winner. Be adept in whatever you are doing. Virtuoso is the requirement of the hour, no matter, what you do. The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;mantra&lt;/span&gt; of success lies in the continuous and rigorous learning and increased knowledge. Why i am saying this because most of us feel that studies are over once we are out of college life. But this is a wrong perception, actually it starts when we leave college. Formal education is there to learn methods of learning, it is not actual learning.  Guys don't absorb energy but reflect it. I know it is an era of global warming but anyways plant trees and let them do the job. I see people going to office with tattered dreams with big tummies as if they have engulfed a BIGGG .......Come on guys! Buck Up! Start living and enjoy. Some of you feel going to office as if you are going to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Tihar jail&lt;/span&gt; and the strict jailer is your manager. B +ve guys....my blood group. Your manager is your inspiration. Be your manager's manager. Work hard, believe in yourself, reflect energy and most important face your manager. Talk to him as if you are heading to manage such people in near future. If you follow me i am sure you can win. This is what i learned from that extraordinary personality.  In Short , we should learn right from the CRADLE till we complete time of life."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Benedictions.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4346009112234815499-3669471659040906236?l=neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3669471659040906236/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/learn-from-cradle-to-deathbed.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/3669471659040906236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/3669471659040906236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/learn-from-cradle-to-deathbed.html' title='Learn from the CRADLE to the DEATHBED.....'/><author><name>Neeraj Bhatyal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-XcUp5jpayVo/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/ZCObepGyK00/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346009112234815499.post-6035794847927631428</id><published>2010-06-17T23:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-18T03:00:59.526-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bhopal Tragedy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oil Spill'/><title type='text'>Bhopal Tregedy versus Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico- Indian vrs US Approach</title><content type='html'>The Bhopal carbide gas leak in 1984  and  present Oil Spill in The Gulf of Mexico are both inauspicious events but there is a lot of conflict in the approach followed to handle the catastrophes. The most important is that one happened in the vicinity of USA and another due to USA based pesticide company UCC. The Bhopal disaster is the world's worst ever industrial catastrophes and occurred at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant. Even after 26 years the victims of the biggest industrial accident are yet to receive succour.  On The other hand the culprits of Mexican Oil Spill, British Petroleum is apologizing, announcing and giving compensations , trying to do whatever they can do, but, still US authorities are staring with their eyebrows raised.The BP Board announces an agreed package of measures to meet its obligations as a responsible party and thinking about the dividend as well.  The US Government and US President is not happy at all and asking for more. If you compare the  death toll it is merely 11 in case of Oil Spill and  a huge number of 15000 in case of Bhopal tragedy. Moreover 500,000 people were exposed to methyl isocyanide (MIC) gas , because of which many developed deformities and are still struggling with their disability.&lt;br /&gt;     You must be mystified by this gesture of comparing two disasters. Moreover it should be crystal clear that the behavior of US authorities  is very self-interested and that is what  i am trying to portray.  US laws are inhumane and very selfish. On one hand they are pushing multimillion dollar claims fund for deep water horizon spill and at the same time Warren Anderson is under veil in US and the US authorities are mum on the issue. Can't we ask why laws are different for different people? More than two decades since the tragedy, certain civil and criminal cases remain pending in the United States District Court, Manhattan and the District Court of Bhopal, India, against Union Carbide, (now owned by Dow Chemical Company), with an Indian arrest warrant also pending against Warren Anderson, the then CEO of Union Carbide. Greenpeace asserts that as the Union Carbide CEO, Anderson knew about a 1982 safety audit of the Bhopal plant, which identified 30 major hazards and that they were not fixed in Bhopal but were fixed at the company's identical plant in the US. Why the then Industries Minister of India hadn't taken any action against the Union Carbide?.&lt;br /&gt;    Again i want to pin point that both the events are unfortunate and proved disastrous. My intention is only to highlight the behavior of US Authorities and Indian Authorities.  Why the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;aam AAdmi(&lt;/span&gt;comman man) in India haven't got its due right 25 years back? I have many more queries but no answers.

I am one of those who wanted to stick to my core profession i.e. software development but alas no longer.  What i felt when i started my career some years back is something which i don't see eye to eye with my present perspective. My perspective changed to a large extent. In this  industry there is no place for hard working professionals (commonly referred as a resource) as mostly the people who are judging them are prejudiced.  They are influenced by their managerial skills, which turns them into an egotist and work seekers. And this is prevalent right from low level Management to the top brass of any organization. Interestingly they will never let you feel what they have in their cold-blooded hearts. They will try to apply their managerial skills , which includes motivating, exclusionary goals, team work and many more to lure you. Don't let yourself feel that i am against this. That is their job and they are doing it efficiently and with diligence. Now the question is that how early we will understand this enigma, early we do, more beneficial it will be for us.&lt;br /&gt;           However just  pursuing MBA from any college may not suffice.  As this is your  last formal education so it should be one of the best and remarkable for  lifetime. Moreover getting into A, A+ or A++ B School is in itself tiresome and cumbersome. You need lot of benedictions, blessing and last but not the least is consistent hard work with positive outlook and confidence. You need to be focused if you want to crack CAT, XAT, GMAT, FMS, IIFT, JMET  and other similar ones.  Let me make very clear that CAT is not a cakewalk. It is the toughest of all the exams available. Even GMAT is easy compared to CAT. A little more of my analysis leads to the conclusion that it is toughest to extract the better of the best as this best constitutes a  huge crowd especially in India.  Everyone want to  be in IIM especially ABC. But folks if you really want to, then buck up, be consistent in your performance, focused and hit the bulls eye. No one can help you other that the person whom you see early morning in the mirror while brushing your teeth.  Till now no one was so nice to you to give answers of the questions asked in the examinations. Don't you feel IIM people are nice to you. Actually, they are judging your decision making skills. You have to choose one out or 4/5 answer options. But most of us try to find the 6th answer. But why? Because we are habitual of finding the answer. What rubbish. Guys we are here to choose the right answer and not to find the 6th one. Please understand. While approaching the questions think differently because leaders think differently and do differently.&lt;br /&gt;       Rest you don't need blessings, you need to work hard and that you will do only when you face an arrogant and irksome manager. So your inspiration is that want to be your manager's manager. As you don't like your manager's skills so work hard and show him,  how to be a good manager. The movement you feel distracted from your goal remember your managers face, grinning on your failure. This is the mantra of your success and an easy,  fast and reliable method of climbing the corporate ladder and reaching the acme of your career. Good luck and benedictions.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4346009112234815499-5207442616518922124?l=neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5207442616518922124/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/5207442616518922124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/5207442616518922124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/blog-post.html' title='Why MBA/PGDBM are important in Corporate world?'/><author><name>Neeraj Bhatyal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-XcUp5jpayVo/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/ZCObepGyK00/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346009112234815499.post-3705074684206097800</id><published>2010-04-22T02:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-22T21:38:19.660-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NDA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Price Rise'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UPA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BJP'/><title type='text'>Price Rise Issue: Is this right way to corner Good Governance?</title><content type='html'>Introspecting yesterdays BJP's  show off in new Delhi,  i felt pity for them. This insane behavior brought nothing more than shame and disgust for the fainted and tainted opposition party. It is quite possible that once my favorites may get some benefit out of it. But i don't feel that everyone see price rise eye to eye. UPA is working elegantly and leaving no stone unturned to give good governance to the people of India. Hats off to UPA, how they are handling moists, terrorism in J&amp;amp;K and NE states. The way UPA handled situation post mumbai attack is mind blowing. The way UPA cornered Pakistan diplomatically by raising misuse of Pak Land for jihadi and terror training camps  in front of world community is remarkable and had a huge impact on world initiative to eradicate terrorism. Other than  junior external affairs minister no one  in cabinet is in news for wrong reasons. Mr Minister tarnished the image of youth by his aberrant and  barbaric behavior. This is another setback to people who believed that youth can bring change. What i say is that one bad experience can not be the universal truth and decide the fate of so many. Mr. Tharoor is either very cunning or foolish. Since he joined politics he is always in news. Anyways this is one part of UPA, well i am sure they will come up with some rectification method. The all-round performance of UPA is convincingly winning the hearts of the people. Let me go back to BJP's enticement . It is bad to say that price rise can be controlled by Government. The time when most of the countries in the world are in resource crunch, How come UPA  govt.  help in less cost  of imported goods. Moreover with the sixth pay commission, if your salaries are almost doubled then why are you expecting that expenditure on commodities and services will be cheap. The person from whom you buy any service or commodity deserves increase in his income. Then whether it is essential commodity or not, it does not matter. Another important aspect of this is that it is cumbersome for more than half of the people in India to sustain. But again "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;survival of fittest&lt;/span&gt;" is the correct analogy for this. Once is poor is not always poor. You need to cross the barricade and move with others. Other way i should say you will lag behind if you don't move fast and that is what is happening. In short none of the Govt. in the past lead to price rise by will. It is the facade of opposition to lure illiterate folks. Actually NDA should go through ablution before criticizing UPA. We should thank PM MMS and Congress Chairperson to give us good governance. I salute you and your pledge to save the country.Please join me in congratulating UPA for its noteworthy governance.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4346009112234815499-3705074684206097800?l=neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3705074684206097800/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/price-rise-issue-is-this-right-way-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/3705074684206097800'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/3705074684206097800'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/price-rise-issue-is-this-right-way-to.html' title='Price Rise Issue: Is this right way to corner Good Governance?'/><author><name>Neeraj Bhatyal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-XcUp5jpayVo/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/ZCObepGyK00/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346009112234815499.post-4482123133340204071</id><published>2010-03-10T00:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-10T02:05:12.605-08:00</updated><title type='text'>UPA trying to lure Women on Woman's day.</title><content type='html'>The inference of  introducing Women reservation on Woman's day is to lure country's women folk, so that people can forget other issues including price rise and Weak foreign policy. I have a question What is the need of reservation in general? Is UPA trying to prove that women of this country is weak and they need reservation. I believe we are trying to set wrong example in front of Indian citizens. We are not teaching them how to fight in this competitive world. I believe not only women but even others who are in reserved category should question and remove category stamp from their life. How do you feel when somebody says this seat is reserved for you? This simply means that you are not capable of acquiring this by your own. You are offered this as a piece of mercy. Now question is how many of us want shower of mercy in their life. I can't answer this, may be some of you can ask yourself. India needs people who are not dependent on mercy. Be capable enough to prove your worth or you  will be worthless. You guys can change system by rejecting any mercy on you. Now choice is yours mercy~reservation or no mercy ~ no reservation.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4346009112234815499-4482123133340204071?l=neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/feeds/4482123133340204071/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/sonia-trying-to-lure-women-on-womens.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/4482123133340204071'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4346009112234815499/posts/default/4482123133340204071'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://neerajbhatyalblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/sonia-trying-to-lure-women-on-womens.html' title='UPA trying to lure Women on Woman&apos;s day.'/><author><name>Neeraj Bhatyal</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-XcUp5jpayVo/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/ZCObepGyK00/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry></feed>
