Is this the tipping point for India

Padma Bhusan Anna Hazare - My salutations to you Great Sir.  What most of Indians  wanted to do, but didnt have the will power or courage to do, YOU HAVE DONE IT Showing us all the way.  
It takes a great soul to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.  As people say, I am sure Gandhi would be happy that you are also being called Gandhi of 21st century.

For the viewers : I am giving below a small write up about Shri Anna Hazare. 

Anna Hazare is a 72 year  ex-Indian army man , who had Fought in the  1965 Indo-Pak War.  A Army veteran, he made sure that he is contributing to the society through his guidance and hardwork.  He was solely behind the building up of a Self Sustained Model  village -  Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra.   Energy is produced in the village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills.  Prior to having Anna Hazare working along with the villagers, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest villages in India. It has become a model for self-sustained, Eco-friendly & a harmonic village.

This is  not the first time that Anna Hazare has undertaken a Hunger strike : In August 9, 2006 in Mumbai, Anna Hazare has begun an indefinite hunger strike to protest against changes to the RTI Act , through which we are now getting to  at least some transparent insights into Government functioning.
Today the Hunger strike is all about the  the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India. He is advocating for a Bill, The Lok Pal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill) that will form an autonomous authority who will make  all politicians including the ministers and the bureaucrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.  This bill was first proposed in 1972 by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan and it is yet to see the light of the day.

Going on hunger strike  this is what he wants to achieve:
  1. The government should come forward and announce that the bill is going to be passed.
  2. A join committee should be formed to draft the Lok Pak bill -  50% government participation and 50% public participation
  3. Make the Law tough and finish the culprits

The following what would be happening once the bill is passed

A Lok Pal will be appointed at the centre. He or she  will have an autonomous charge;  like the Election Commission of India. In each and every state, Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be punished.

Baba Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal are the ones who along with Anna Hazare to start this hunger strike.  


Lets support this Noble person, who has woken us up out of our slumber.  May he have a good health.  May his message be taken forward by all of us and help to Make India a great country known for its integrity.

Dr Natarajan - The Indusrial Queens Maker

This was pending for a long time from me - to write about one of the Best persons in the world - who encourages Woman to Take up the mantle of Owner of their own Enterprise. That why I have named him the Industrial Queens Maker. How many woman entrepreneurs he would have helped in making - must be running in 5 figures already. do you know of anybody other than Dr Natarajan , who has gained a doctorate on his research paper on "Women Entrepreneurship". His work was his life. The post of Jt director, Tamil Nadu Industries Department in`charge of Women Entrepreneurship was the most apt post for him. You go to him with just one dream - Wanting to go out on your Own - He will make it happen - that is the truth about him. He not only used to counsel people about what kind of industry will suit them, but will also advice about the various methods in running it efficiently and also actively help them to get started. He even used to guide them about how to approach the fi

 Rajastahn Tour Dairies Day 5 contd.. So doing a repeat post on this Little Krishna's abode which was the main reason why I signed up for the tour. The most powerful Little Child who makes people fall in love with this eternal bliss of God - Shrinath ji.   How fortunate are the people living in here who can have the different darshans of the Lord at different time of day.  Yes all the Arathis are different with beautiful attire and charming smile and different nivedhayam. Even to stand in front of him is more than enough for anyone.   History of Nathdwara Shrinathji says that during the reign of Aurangzeb, statue of Lord Krishna was moved from Vrindavan to enshrine it at a safe place. However, when the vehicle carrying the statue passed through the particular spot where the temple now is, its wheels were stuck in the mud. The priest accompanying the image interpreted it to be an indication from the Lord himself. People understood that the Lord did not want to move any further. Ther

IT SME FORUM

About 7 months back a group of Entrepreneurs from Chennai who had a common thread of running their software companies got togehter to form a cohesive group - The IT SME FORUM - as a Strategy to accelerate their individual growth through synergy. Each one of these entrepreneurs are successfully running their software companies fighting individual battles to keep the company up and running, maintain a steady growth rate, increase their customer base, etc. Running a company in India is not a easy task - it is literally getting pulled in thousands of direction and believe me - A business leader is supposed to concentrate only on Growth - Marketing - Sales. But I have found that typically in the Indian environ, we get pulled into operations and managing to spend some time for the most crucial aspect of the business. This gave rise to the idea - why not have a platform to share the best practices, to learn how to tackle problems, get a better voice and get a big bandwidth in terms of out rea
