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.
