My post on Raj Thackeray is the one that invites maximum comments from readers. It touched the right strings for many and initiate a sort of debate in the comment section itself. Today, one participant Meenakshi has posted a comment there which again draws our attention to the rowdy behaviour of MNS. Read about their latest act.

Last seven days were very eventful for India.  First of all the Government  won the trust vote in Parliament. I never support Congress or its ideology. However, this time my heart and soul were with Congress as I coiuld not see any demerits in the proposed nuclear deal with the US.

Though there have been some serious allegations of horse-trading and some MPs showed the bundles of notes in the Parliament a a proof of alleged attempt by Government, all in all it was heartening to see that Government won with a comfortable majority.

On Friday and Saturday, we saw another series of bomb blasts in Bangalore & Ahmedabad. Many innocent were killed. In Ahmedabad, they even blasted two city hospital where injured were being treated. I don’t know how long it will go like this. As I wrote in one of my earlier post, in the present day India, consider yourself lucky if you return home unharmed in the evening on any given day. It is a shame to accept that we are the weakest nation in the world when it comes to fighting terrorism.

On personal front, I spent my spare time in researching the  web for some quality information on widget creations.  I am trying to create some widgets for iGoogle and other social media. I hope to create some cool tools very soon.

This is all I can write about this week in India.

Would you believe me if I tell you that the future of much talk about Indo-US Nuclear Deal depends on convicted Criminals? It may sound unbelievable; however, the fate of present Government of India depends upon in whose favor 20 Members of Parliament (which include many jailed MPs convicted in serous criminal cases like  Murders) will caste their votes in the confidence motion which is scheduled to be held on 22nd July in Parliament.

After the withdrawal of support by CPM on the issue of Nuclear Deal, the Government is trying hard to save it from fall. In the same vein all opposition parties, despite their political differences, are also trying their best to defeat this government in the vote of confidence. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, its been a long since I wrote my last post on Indian Economy. At that time the stock market was booming and I explained how the subprime crisis was proving to be a boom for India. At that time India was a darling of the investors worldwide and dollars were pouring in.

Not any more. The tide has reversed. Today the Sensex closed below 13,000. Its lowest this year. A state of gloom has engulfed the market.

What actually has happened ?

Well unlike the falls of the past, the current decline of stock market is related to many factors. The oil prices are touching new heights everyday. The costlier the oil, the costlier will be all those things that depends on it. Right from the Cooking Gas-the very basic item to the cost of airfare - everything has shot up. The transport costs of goods, the production costs in factory and everything in between - all has shot up. And this is the situation of almost every country in the world.

I am planning to start a category by the name ‘Tips for Indians’.  I have started this because there is almost a complete absence of sites which exclusively deal with various problems faced by Indians. I hope that this category will help me organize all the tips which are particularly useful for Indians.

This is just an announcement of this category. Soon you’ll see some new posts in this category.

As of now I am passing through a rough phase of my career.  My offline job just sucks. There has been too much saturation in this field and everyday the work pressure is increasing like never before.  Today one of my colleague got promotion and was transferred to another branch. However, no replacement vice him has been provided by the admin and we have been told to manage the task without him. Since he was managing his allotted job quite efficiently, loosing him to another section will mean a further increase in work pressure. Till late evening negotiations were going on to post him back. Let us see what happens.

My online business has been sidelined owing to  these pressing circumstances at office and home. I know that I need to write regular articles in for my niches sites to keep them fresh and attractive. I also need to use various promotion method to promote them to ensure a regular flow of visitors. However, all this has become almost unmanageable and tough. When you come home from office totally exhausted and spend the evening with your little kid, the task of managing a part-time online business gets sidelined.

Different phase of life demands different sets of priority. I am learning this lesson these days:)
