A_ '09, the day which turned out BIG

The last in the qyoou.

small and simple steps.

The Roar, the Wave, and the Jog followed by Thunder.

Sneak Peek into Heaven?

1800 ?

1800? , thats what Samajwadi Party's election manifesto promises. This disturbing document plans to deag India back by almost 200 years, no less. I tried to get the softcopy of the original manifesto but it does not seem that such a thing exists.

A few interesting excerpts:

1. "if a new government were to be formed with SP’s support, it would work to abolish schools providing expensive education in English "  

2. "On computers, Mulayam said their use was leading to unemployment. He added that wherever work can be done by hand, computers would be abolished. Later, it was clarified that less use of computers would be enforced only in new projects — again, something that could put new projects at a disadvantage vis-a-vis older ones. "

3."the SP has also come out against mechanized farming, arguing against agricultural machines. Harvesters, Mulayam said, would snatch jobs from poor labourers during the harvesting season which, he claimed, gave employment for six months." 

4."after tractors were introduced, the bovine population has been coming down. Instead of ploughing land, bullocks and calves were going to slaughter houses. "  (Awesome LR skills !)

5."if a government was formed with SP’s support, it would work to cut back if not abolish stock trading and mall culture. " (I dont get that link between Mall Culture and Pub Culture, 2 completely different things)

I dont understand how can an almost national party have such bullshit in their official manifesto. Moreover, it is extremely surprising that these points have not got wide coverage in the national media neither have they been a subject of debate.

All this reminds me of the 'Black Manifesto' of 'Icon', a book by Frederick Forsyth.

I realize the posts so far are 'No Good'. need to write better; and the content needs to be more meaningful, there seems to be the 'it' missing but cannot understand what exactly. If you have any suggestions i.e. if even a single person goes through my blog albeit, an accident :P.

I hope I do get some meaningful suggestions .

Bhay Ho !

I had read up sometime back that Congress bought the rights of the Oscar winning track 'Jai Ho'. This is the ad based on the Jai Ho theme. BJP took no time to retort and came up with its own 'Bhay Ho' (fear)  viral ad. While the usual suspects - Nehru, momma and beta Gandhi find mention in he congress campaign, there is no talk of the future leader who will lead the country if the party is voted to power( though soniaji has considerable footage in the latter half of the video), very surprising considering that Congress calls itself to be a party which had young leaders in abundance. On the other hand, BJP has from the very beginning projected Advani as the leader. This will work to the party's benefit , I feel.

The online campaignof the BJP was something which I feel was very well done and seems to be influenced by Obama's campaign. Mint carried an article on the same. Another very good analysis of the online campaigns of the political parties can be found here. Interestingly, the entire online campaign of the BJP is run by Pradyut Bora, an IIM Ahmedabad alumnus. Incidentally, in the previous elections, BJP had run its 'India Shining' campaign which did not work although it seemed to be a good campaign.

All said and done, it is quite useless to predict what will work and what will not.

I am Screwed, Now What?

Well, I dont fel like posting much these days simply because I dont have much to say !

Was randomly surfing the net, looking for pictures (hoping) to spruce up a boring (voluntary) presentation (on Web 2.0) that I am supposed to give tomorrow. Since I have voluntarily brought up this topic, let me explain that we MBA are supposed to give voluntary presentations for which are graded !

Ya, even I am an MBA to be .

I did not post to rant about my acads and stuff. This is what I got today and it got me started on yet another B- Plan, the formulation of which is a national pass time across all the business schools in India and abroad, these days.

A guide on how to effectively use Facebook, no less.  $ 20. The book seems to have garnered excelled reviews like this :

"'I'm on Facebook Now What???' is a thorough-but-usable diveinto what a new user of Facebook might want to know. I can see this book being great to hand to a friend or coworker who wants to get involved in social networks, but really isn’t sure which next steps to take. Jason and Jesse have created a great guide that will deliver value to new users, and might even teach a more seasoned user a thing or two." VXCVCX, Social Media Advisor, CVBCC.com"

A social media advisor :D

Now I am having my own ideas. How about A Guide to effective chir-Kutting.

Applications for the post of co-author are invited

Applicant must have>=300 fraNds and no fewer that 10 testi-monials.

unemployed MBA Grads will be given due preference

~ Shame ~

I had been to a nearby mall and I saw some hoardings put up.

(Adopt a slumdog, become a millionare)

A pathetic attempt to cash in the movie's popularity. Dumb !

In fact, a few days back a case was filed stating that the movie title was derogatory to slum dwellers.

Tell me what you guys think

SanjuBaba chale Lucknow...

I hope you all had a good new year (so far).

I also hope that you would have given up on all those ambitious resolutions thus signalling an end to all your troubles !

I had to post today after seeing this. Apparently SP is fielding Munnabhai from Lucknow. Lucknow has been Atal Behari Vajpayee's constituency and he has been elected to the Lok Sabha from this place for the past 5 elections(since 1991). It is really difficult to say whose reputation is worse, SP or munnabhai's. I do not quite understand why the glitz and glamour junta contests elections, money toh they already have. Guess they feel like having real power after all the reel power that they have had. The same taste vs swallow funda. Past evidence suggests that it had been indigestion , be it the big b or that big fool from Virar. These people never learn !

Another thing which shocked me was that 'ULFA Leader' and the 'mastermind' of the New Year Day's blast is all of 20 years of age. The same holds good for Kasab as well.Disturbing trend !  This is supposedly a transcript of his confession (No clue on how accurate it is!).

Btw, I got to listen to Motherjane's latest, Maktub. The album sounds really good, more on that later !

PS: The SP candidate from Gorakhpur is even more interesting - Manoj Tiwari, a joker who goes around masquerading as an artist.

PPS: Eagerly waiting for Mayawatiji to announce her candidates for the LS elections.
