Recession

One fine day, the banking corporations of America as a bolt from the blue, started flaunting one by one about their ease of lending housing loans. The scheme was loans to all the Americans who cannot own an apartment, even with their lifetime earnings. So, the birds of same feather flocked together to buy their piece of land which would stand against their name on the face of the earth. But, the amount of enthusiasm that one has in getting something is diametrically opposite to the amount that s/he shows in returning. As expected, the defaulters' percentage climbed in multiples of ten of Grameen Bank's. Then, the banks started losing their money. People started fearing and started withdrawing their savings. Credit crunch is created by a freaking concept of owning land on American soil. The ripple effect affects the rest of the world. Every corporation in the world starts to hear the dreaded word "recession".

"Global economic slowdown yaar"

"Cost reduction is on"

"Global recession"

"Economic slump"

"If the conditions carry on, The Great Depression isn't that far"

But, during all these times a chaiwala from Mumbai can win two million dollars and eight Oscars. What a pity?

The rich is as safe as he was, but a little tension about how to maintain the earning tempo going. The poor is as safe as he ever would be, because more would be joining him. He can shoulder them and listen to their poor stories and be grateful that he was not what they are. Who are the affected ones?

The common man a.k.a aam aadmi.

Why should he be affected just because someone wanted to own a piece of land which they own even now happily? Next step the GOI takes is to pump in hypothetical cash - 100 crores into RBI, 500 crores into services industry, etc. crap. Because, aam aadmi still remains a fool thinking that somewhere that 100 odd crores that is being pumped in will reach him in some form. He still does not understand the psychological game of recession. There is nothing as recession. It is an illusion created by banks to get their money back that they poorly planned with the sub-primal Americans. A house for every American robbed the house of every other common man. Why should we suffer for their intelligence failure in planning? Optimists say no reward without risks. But, why should Raja bore the brunt for Andrew's risk? That is because Raja et al. are meticulously webbed in this net of globalization, without their knowledge. One kills a person and is called an assassin, one kills hundreds and is called a terrorist, but, one kills millions and is called a conqueror. That is the basic difference. We all need to realize that we need to start spending to combat the global recession. We are the ones who need to pump the cash in and not the imbecile GOI. One last suggestion, if you are not able to spend properly or maintain the cash inflow, kindly transfer the money to my bank account. I will do the needful :).

And as the textbook says, friends do not judge each other. So, save the world from recession, after all Americans are the friendliest people on earth.

Open mind for a different view

How many of you have dared to say this to your boss? "I don't give a fuck". Just how many of you? Everyone has said it, without the lips moving, but, how many to the ones to whom it was meant to be? We do not say it, not because we lack courage, but, because we do not want to sour things up. We then pretend to be what we are not, do and say things that our heart dislikes. I don't give a fuck is almost as same as I love you. Here too we lack the gut factor, which might sour things up. Why? It is a simple reason. Rationally, for every action, there are three outcomes. Our point of view, the other's point of view and the truth. We are just open to our point of view that we tend to forget the truth. In the process of assessing the other’s point of view we again forget the truth. The truth is just ask this question to yourself "What will you do, if you weren't afraid?" You get an answer that is your heart's point of view. Ask this question "What is the stake?" Answer to this question will be your head's point of view. Strike a balance and you get your point of view. Oh! If you are a thinker, then think about yourself in the other's shoe. Ask the same pair of questions and you just get a hint of what his/her point of view because you are just wearing his/her shoes and mind you not the entire attire. After all this comes the truth. How? Get along and discuss it with each other and you arrive at it, because, my perspective is not yours and yours' is not his'. Open your mind and let it seep in and then say it loud and clear "I don't give a fuck" because if you really meant it, you would not have put the thinking cap on. You just would have said "I don't give a fuck".
