hi everyone....today i am gonna write about a really important issue in our economy...
I have been reading this book "The World Is Flat" by Thomas Friedman(editor,New York times)...
and in that one book i have learnt more things about my country and the tremendous impact we have on the global economy...its to such a large extent now that if India and China stop exporting their services to the USA it will result in chaos and crash of the US stock market.....the world depends on us more than ever before....the youth of our nation are a new force in the world...that software engineer in Bangalore...that civil servant in Bihar....that young industrialist in Calcutta....that actor in Mumbai...and that young student in Delhi who works in a call center to get some quick money...all of these people represent the new Indian generation who is a lot more smarter than their American counterparts....a lot more ambitious than them....and last but not least a lot more hungry for success than the US...."SUCCESS COMES WHEN YOU NEED IT MORE THAN AIR "....and i think thats how we crave for it these days which is a great indication of our resolve to change ourselves as a nation...to move forward in this all new competitive world and give all the other nations a run for their money....but........
if we are so ambitious,so determined,so hungry for success...wat's stopping us?
the fact is that 70 % of India still lives in slums...imagine the resources we are wasting there....there might be another bill gates...another Steve jobs...another Ambani somewhere in those slums because the mind knows no boundaries....but these people still don't have the basic infrastructure which is needed for a living...the highly currupt nature of our government is not allowing that part of India to come forward and give its contribution....there was this very astonishing instance Friedman has described in his book about a software firm in Bangalore....the firm has two offices in Bangalore separated by 3 km's and there is a slum in Bangalore between these two offices so if you want to call from one office to another you have to call new jersey first and the call is forwarded from new jersey to the other office because there is just no direct phone line connection between the two offices because of the slum in between....and this really shocks me...the divide between the underdeveloped India and the developed India...a lot of us say that i wanna be the next Bill Gates but bill gates is so much more than money and software...the philanthropist work he has carried out for the world is phenomenal and he will be more known for that..now how many of us actually give money in charity or seriously feel like doing something for that small village near your house....to be candid even i don't....and if you do there my friend is a budding Bill Gates.....

the only problem is about interdependency if they depend on us we depend on them too ... and as for philanthropy goes bill gates sure can afford it. I guess wat we require is dignity of labour .. no work to little... we need to stop looking down at plumbers carpenters electricians drivers guards etc etc ... the respect they get in other countries is just not there... but then the arguement there is abt population.which can further be traced on to the want of a male child blah blah blah .. there is a vicious circle here where the problems can be easily identifies but the solution is hard to imagine ... i guess you are right its time to wake up and do something coz after all if each one of us does their part hese small drops will make an ocean ... So where do we plan to start sancho ??
