Telangana: Chidambaram' fresh statement

IT CAN WAIT: Home Minister P Chidambaram seeks consensus in Andhra Pradesh over Telangana.
The Central government on Wednesday said it wants to consider “all views” on the demand for a separate Telangana state and “peace and tranquility should be maintained” in Andhra Pradesh.
Home Minister P Chidambaram gave a short statement in New Delhi on Wednesday, effectively putting the demand for a separate Telangana state in abeyance. “At a meeting of all political parties on December 7 a consensus emerged on Telangana. The situation has altered now,” he said.

“Centre wants to take all views before coming to a decision. Peace and tranquility should be maintained,” he said.
Congress dumps it on Andhra leaders
The Congress said on Wednesday that Telangana was an old issue and it was for the collective political leadership of Andhra Pradesh to resolve the situation that has arisen due to regional divisions over its proposed statehood.
Congress spokesman Manish Tiwari said it was for the “collective wisdom” of Andhra Pradesh leaders across the political spectrum to “sit down and form appropriate solution.”
Answering queries about divisions in its Andhra Pradesh unit on Telangana, Tiwari said that it was an old issue which has been grappled by “generations of leaders of the state.”
He refused to comment on the remarks of Home Minister P Chidambaram, made earlier this month, giving principled clearance to the demand for a separate Telangana state.
Faced with deep divisions in its ranks in the state, the Congress has been trying to come out with a compromise formula to bring down political temperatures. The Congress core group met Monday evening while senior leaders met party president Sonia Gandhi Wednesday to evolve an appropriate response.
Congress sources said that the meeting at Sonia Gandhi‘s residence was attended by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Defence Minister A. K. Antony, Chidambaram, Law Minister Veerapa Moily and Ahmed Patel, political secretary to the Congress president.

Google does too charity differently!

Google has made a huge difference to the world. It has innovated in each and everything field that it has touched. It does everything differently. Google does everything in the most optimum way,  exactly the way it should be done. Google does charity too in a different way. It has pledged  20 million dollars:

  • Google has revolutionized the technology. Google has not just innovated in web search by creating powerful path-breaking search technologies but also in operating systems, databases etc with creation of GFS, BigTable etc.
  • Google has innovated in HR practices to keep the innovation and ideation alive. It has the best recruiting policies for attracting the talent.
  • Google has revolutionized the way you make business. Google makes money by empowering the common man – by making it easy to find quality information, by giving you better ways to connect and even by giving you an easy and effective way to earn money. Through AdSense, Google shares revenues with you so you earn when Google earns and vice versa. Google has changed the way advertising is done. Google helps the advertisers by allowing them to advertise at a reasonable cost yet reaching their target customers effectively through AdWords – your company pays Google only when an ad potentially turns into business; and of course it helps the end-users to find relevant and useful products. Well, I myself recently got benefited from this – I found, through Google ads while searching, a web-hosting company that gave me THE best hosting solutions at an unbelievably low price. So unlike Microsoft, who charges you a huge amount for a substandard quality operating system, Google makes money by making you rich! I hope Google will soon come up with a free or low cost operating system that is far superior to Microsoft’s Windows.
Having innovated in everything it does, Google is now all geared up to do philanthropy in a different way.. Google has announced a charity of 20 million dollars for 2010. Yes, I guess Google will do it differently and it will change the world in the middle of the present global economic recession. So let us wait and watch how Google will do charity!

Today I got the following greetings from Google:

Ten rules of happy married life!

I have come across this nice article by Gayatri of Gayatri Vantillu.

Young & elderly couples may skip this article, because the former group is just initiated to their romantic life which wouldn’t have any  “Blues” and the older group has much more experience to share on “Blues”, where my experience would be dwarfed in comparision. 
With trepidation I write the following lines, because it shouldn’t result in sermons or lectures.
In India, marriage is still gracefully regarded as a sacrosanct life-time relationship of a boy and girl. In most instances, these pairs are permitted to conjugal life only after their marriage. Pre-marital dating courtship is rare, but is slowly gaining popularity and acceptance. The present trend is for the pairs to get formally engaged and have  dating till marriage.  I see the trend as an adaptation of the western “Dating” culture, suitably modified to the Indian cultural reservations. 
It is during this “Dating” / Courtship we find that the partners have lots to discuss, share and  make promises. 
The new pairs often wonder how “Brahma” the creator could guess the needs and aptly created the opposite partner – “Specially made to order”. 
However, as years progress, all couples have to go through the “Free Roller-Coaster Ride of Life!!!”. 
Twenty two years ago, while on one such dates we both decided on two things as non-negotiable in our married life.  We felt it was a tough and revolutionary decision
One should never draw a balance-sheet, and more so on how much he or she has sacrificed / contributed for the family. 
Rather it should be – “How much more can I accommodate?” instead of “How much did I sacrifice?” 
These principles have seen us together for 22 years and hopefully would see us through for the remaining life also. Now we realise that the same pledge must have been taken by  all our elders and contemporaries, but for which we wouldn’t see so many successful marriages in all our families. 
In an old Telugu film song of “Dr. Chakravarty”, “Manasuna manasai … Bratukuna Bratukai” song,  a stanza is “Ninnu Ninnu ga preminchutakai” (to love you as you are!!!). This song is an apt reflection of the pure love between husband and wife.
Recently I came across a poster on “Rules of a Happy Marriage” which I felt like sharing with you. I salute the writer of these lines who discussed the solutions to Marriage Blues. I frankly admit that I’m no exception and faced the “Blues” and  am likely to face more in future also. What  we wish is, we both should remember these solutions also!!!!.

Rules of a Happy Marriage

  1. Never both be angry at the same time
  2. Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire
  3. If one of you has to win an argument let it be your mate
  4. If you have to criticize, do it lovingly
  5. Never bring-up mistakes of the past
  6. Neglect the whole world rather than each other
  7. Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled
  8. When you have done something wrong have the courage to admit it and say “Sorry”
  9. Compliment your partner atleast once during the day
  10. Remember, it takes two to make a quarrel, and the one in the wrong is the one who does most talking

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobel Prize 2010!

Nobel prize 2010: who will get it? Peace medal

Hmm, Nobel prize 2010! Well, here I am talking particularly about the Nobel Peace Prize, which is most coveted, controversial and is considered to be very prestigious. Internet is a Nobel Peace Prize candidate as proposed by wired magazine. Now a days Michael Jackson is proposed by many as a candidate for Nobel 2010. Well, presently I have no comments on it other than it seems that his fans are showing their “sympathy” and “loyalty” to the pop legend though the “sudden death”, “sympathy” and “loyalty” of some people are no criteria for his entitlement for the Prize. This is very similar to the mass mania of the ignorant people and selfish politicians that Y. S. Jagan should be made chief minister of Andhra Pradesh (An Indian state with population of 80 million people), just to show their sympathy and loyalty (and of course to gain their ulterior political motives) because his father Y. S. Rajasekhar Reddy died of air crash. How foolish and degraded – intellectually and ethically – people can be!
They wanted to give the leadership of 8 crore (80 million) people to to a 35 old years guy, who had had hardly, 2-3 months experience as a politician just because his father died! What kind of democracy is this? Or is it a dynasty???? Anyways that foolish issue is over now due to mature handling of it by Congress high command.
Moreover  The Norwegian Nobel Committee (Nobel peace prize committee) does not award the prize posthumously. To digress a bit, even Mahatma Gandhi, the most deserved candidate for the Prize, was no exception to this rule though the committee seriously considered to award him the Nobel Peace Prize 1948 for him after his murder by Nathu Ram Godse. Mahatma Gandhi proved to the world that you can “fight” successfully through innovative approach of “nonviolence”. Well it required tremendous spiritual strength and will power to achieve that and it may not always work out. Otherwise we don’t need armies, police etc at all! As our ancient scriptures say, we need to employ all the means –  Sama, Dana, Bheda and Dand to achieve our rightful.
Then there are long time claims by Art of Living and its followers that Sri Sri Ravishankar deserves Nobel Prize. He has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize at least 4-5 times now. I will write an elaborate article on He deserves the Nobel Prize, later, on my Art of Living Blog.
Well, we need to wait for about one more year to see who will get the coveted Nobel Peace Prize.
