Blogging is where you can open your mind regarding any thing in the universe.

The opening up of FDI in the retail .No difference of opinion that it is now closed. Thank God.

The parliament is not working for the last two days.

They say it is for the 10 crore retail business people. (A good source for their election fund)

What about me. The poor un-organized me. One among the balance 90 crore people of India. (Poor me, I have no money to give for election fund.)

Let me put the old storey in my own words. Mother poured the available milk in two glasses and offered to her two sons. Arun happily said “I have half a glass of milk, thank you Amma”. But Babu did not like it because it was half empty. He started fighting and threw the glass and broke it.

Our “Babus “ in the parliament are doing the same. They are denying my right to invest.( 34500 small investors are also owners of pantaloon retail ) They are denying my right to buy world class products; they are denying my right to choose where to work. They are denying my right to have world class vendors for my products.

Let them think what happened when telecommunication was opened.

Thank God we have a strong Prime Minister who is capable of protecting my interest. Let us see.

prohibition of thattukada(street vendors) in ernakulam

It may look cruel because thousands make their earning from it.But if it spreads diseases and kills somebody prohibition is the shortcut.
All around the world there are street vendors.So instead of prohibiting, few practical guidelines may be introduced like passing medical exams to confirm he is not a carrier of diseases,passing of another exam to know his hygiene and safety standards,setting up minimum standard for his utensils and the surrounding,minimum distance between two vendors,etc.
Freedom comes from guidlines because if a beurocrat can check the guideline of the law ,
the vendor can also do the same. So give them the guidelines.It will reduce bribe.

smart city at last

Since 2009 Was not blogging. Because of my only follower reminded and encouraged that my first two blogs were interesting I thought of starting it again.
To day we have a good news in Kerala.The new govt under Oommen Chandy is not going to waste even five days putting unnecessary road blocks for the smart city Kochi.great.
Hope he will allow small investors also to invest just like we have invested in cochin international airport ltd Nedumbassery,(cial )where you were allowed to invest starting from Rs 10000 (ten thousand) which is worth 165000(one lakh sixty five thousand only) now.The latest unofficial market price is RS165. unofficial because it is not listed in any stock exchange.(hope they will take necessary steps to get it listed.

right to invest 2

continuation from the previous blog

Is it right when millions are practically starving in our country. You decide, after you calculate the present value of the holdings our President is holding in these companies .Few simple steps will help you to calculate it.

1.visit www.bseindia.com

2.login

3.go to company filing /shareholding pattern./select any public sector company

4.find the number of shares held by govt of India/President of India

5.multiply today's market price with the number of shares.

for eg.

sail(steel authority of India)number of shares held by Govt of India
3,544,690,285 multiplied by 159 (last traded price as on 3nd july 2009)
you will be astonished to see that it is worth
56360,57,55,315.00 (fifty six thousand three hundred and sixy crores fifty seven lakhs fifty five thousand three hundred and fifteen only)

85.83 % is held by just one holder while the balance 14% is held by more than 35lakh people.

is it not sufficient to eliminate poverty from our country.

think and help me to calculate the other psu companies worth held by the President of India.

help eliminate poverty by disinvestment in favour of millions.

To be continued.

Ningal enne shoodran aakki (You have made me an untouchable)

One of the leading newspapers asked our chief minister Mr Achuthanandan to list the most important change that has happened in Kerala since Independance. His answer was 'the blind belief that only Brahmins and Kshathriyas have the right to own land has changed.'


Yes, it is defenitly a great change regarding the land. Now I am a "Brahmin" because I have the RIGHT TO INVEST IN LAND upto fifteen acres.


Oh no! Mr Achuthanandan is still blind regarding my right to invest in other areas. He is considering 97% of our population as "shoodras" and is not allowing to invest in good avenues of business. Such good investment opportunities are to be enjoyed only by the new set of "brahmins" who have passed IAS, IPS OR PSC WITHOUT INVESTING A SINGLE RUPEE.

Is this right? More on this topic later....
