Freedom: A global perspective

15th August 1947, India got freedom from British Raj. I pondered upon the fact for a while and thought is freedom for a country only means freedom from some other country ruling over it for past many decades? or it has other perspectives.

How can you call a country free, if still that country has not got freedom from poverty, inequality, unemployment and corruption. If we see freedom from this perspective, it has nothing to do with physiological boundaries or what we call different "countries" today. Don't you think that if country is free from all these hassles country is free no matter who is ruling it?

With the world getting flatter, there is a need to see freedom from this perspective because in coming decades the world will be an highly cohesive and interdependent entity. At this time what will matter is a Win-Win situation for all where all have equal opportunities to prosper, wealth is more or less evenly distributed, people have freedom to dream, freedom to act, fairness is at its best and all are working hard to make this world a better place.

I know many economist will think that a how can whole world get prosper at the same time, as the total wealth in the world is more or less constant and gain of one will be loss of others. But I feel that is the challenge to face, that is how we make sure that wealth is uniformly distributed across the globe. I know it is difficult but surely not impossible as the opportunities lying ahead are infinite. sky is the limit.

Comments are always welcome.

A funny teacher's day

This was 5^th of September 06, we had our senior’s placements ,everyone was busy with one thing or the other, things were becoming too messy and tense, when Tarun (Hail Col0sseum) told me that I need to go for the teacher’s day and represent our class. This happens when your batch mates feel that you can do some thing or the other to lure audience :). Seeing the demand of the situation I went for the teachers day function, and that too as usual late!. I was sitting on the last seat since I entered from the back door again as usual :). First thought that came to mind was to sit quitely see the function and escape quietly and then I can always fake anything to batch mates that I gave a great speech and all.

But suddenly good RU made an entry and told that its not the matter of me going there giving a vote of thanks ,but the reputation of whole class is at stake; as all the programs will give vote of thanks and how the rocking batch of PGDSM MIT 03 can miss this opportunity.

And here started The struggle............

Like a turtle I some how struggled to make my place in the first 2-3 rows of the auditorium. Everyone was looking at me as if I was some terrorist who is making his way to plant the time bomb :). Do I look like one!! God knows better :). Another big problem was that there was no slot planned for vote of thanks. Now I was looking for that one chance when I can get hold of the mike wish teachers and get away with the thing. One by one my teachers were giving hilarious performances that made me even more nervous. I have heard somewhere that when you are under lot of mental pressure a time comes when you stop thinking about anything. Suddenly fear left my mind and I started enjoying the pressure. And as they say “Happy Go Luck” I got the chance as there happened problem in one of the CD and to fill the gap they asked anyone from the audience to come to the stage and perform anything. This was when I raised my hand and got the chance.

So I started with “My teachers and dear friends a very good afternoon, on the eve of teachers day I on the behalf of PGDSM MIT take this chance to extend my thanks to all the teachers who made our knowledge world even brighter”. Then I thought since I came here to perform something, I should sing something, but no song other than “Huzur is kadar bhi …” was coming to my mind then, so in the spur of moment I said “I want to dedicate a song to my teachers but it has no connection with teacher’s day” there was laughter all around. I sang few lines of the song and the ovation I got was mesmerizing, I thought either they liked the song or they are clapping because they got rid of me :).

Next day I got feedback from the teachers and people from other batch that it was very natural and nice.

So once again PGDSM MIT rocked the stage with a small but a memorable performance…..

Zindagi hai choti , har pal mein khush raho...
Office me khush raho, ghar mein khush raho.

Aaj sabji nahi hai, dal mein hi khush raho,
Aaj Dosto ka sath nahi, TV dekh ke hi khush raho..


Ghar ja nahi sakte to phone kar ke hi khush raho...
Aaj koi naraz hai,uske is andaz mein bhi khush raho..


Jisse dekh nahi sakte uski awaz mein hi khush raho...
Jisse paa nahi sakte uske yaad mein he khush raho

MBA karne ka socha tha,metric mein hi khush raho...
Laptop na mila to kya, Desktop mein hi khush raho..


beeta hua kal ja chuka hai,usse mili yadein hai,un me hi khush raho..
aane wale pal ka pata nahi.sapno mein hi khush raho..

Haste haste yeh pal bitaein ge,aaj mein hi khush raho
Zindagi hai choti ,har pal main khush raho.....
