What is in a NAME?

After the release of My NAME IS KHAN and the smarter dialog which pops
out out of Shahrukh's mouth, most of the times, in all the critical
contexts of the movie - And I am not a terrorist - people started
realizing that the name given to them in their childhood by their
elders has the capacity to invoke fear/ terror or respect/regard in
others.

It is not that so far they do not know this fact; but, the intensity
of the name impact has grown a little bit more NOW.

Most of the times, in regular society, we come across people who are
named after different great people, as per the religion they follow.
But, there are a few people in this world but who created and
implemented terror in an organized way killing innocents in large
number; unfortunately, these merciless people are also named after the
same great ones whose name an ordinary man fondingly gives to his new
born child with great respect and reverence. Now imagine how the
society reacts to this child, who has that name in this
terror-stricken society, at no fault of his/her.

Therefore guys, we should/must learn to discriminate, not stereotype,
everybody who is having a certain kind of name (which you think as
objectionable!). For that matter, people who are named after "Guatam
Buddha" does not have the capability or potential to become or do a
"Buddha" range act. In the same way, people who are given some
eyebrow-raising names (they were treated as good names earlier but due
to the acts of some individuals, now, the name itself invokes fear!)
are all not culprits.

So, please stop stereotyping people and treat every person as a
different individual altogether.

India INC Hiring - But on What Basis???

Hey guys!!

I am really so happy that finally India Inc started hiring. So many
companies are doing that at a great pace also.

But what I could not understand is this: when our target markets like
America and Europe are still reeling under recession pressure and when
their weekly development data is still showing negative, who in this
world is giving new projects to our Indian Inc?

Is it something like that our Indian companies are hoping for the best
(about that will get the projects somehow!) to happen and started this
massive and heavy recruitment drives just like in the same old way
(before recession times) so that they can show these numbers to their
clients to bag projects?

If this blog is thinking right at this moment, then guys, we can
expect a massive retrenchment in the near future because you all know
that these companies cannot hold this kind of numbers even for the
next coming 6-month period on their own (previous experience) without
getting considerable sum from their clients.

Finally, I would like to remind all you guys one simple and more
important point: Until unless our two big markets - America and Europe
- show some positive news about their development and employment
figures, do not expect a miracle to happen in the immediate future.

Think twice before you leave your present low-paying job for a
high-paying one with all promised PERKS at this moment!

Medium to Earn Million Bucks

Life is a game. To win, you should market yourself. WHATEVER job you do, whichever product you sell, to get success all it needs is a classic marketing effort. Nowadays, to get success in the market, you need to have IQ. Here, I am not talking about “Intelligent Quotient” but “Internet Quotient”. It is because, Internet is the only medium using which we can reach large number of target audience within a short span of time.

Earlier, means before Net was invented, it was not possible to do business easily or for that matter to connect with foreigners to sell our local products. People who want to do business with foreign lands need to take so many permission and licenses which are not needed right now. A person who has a small product for sale can advertise through Net and can attract respective customers who need that product worldwide. In other terms, earlier the person who was selling the goods to the local population only can do the same with anyone located anywhere on this planet with an internet connection.

The provision of credit cards, debt cards, etc, has increased the transparency of the market transactions. You can still stay in your cozy own place but can get leads and deals for your products fro distant lands at the click of a button. PEOPLE who inhabited this planet before 30 years never ever imagined transaction like this. Irrespective of caster, creed, religion, region, gender, etc, Internet puts enormous connectivity potential in the hands of every single user.

If properly used, you can make more than million bucks at the click of a button by the tick of every second. Imagine people all over the world giving orders to you for your goods 24 X 7; if not Internet, otherwise, it is not possible like this.

We all need to thanks the contributors of this medium and promise to ourselves and the society we live in that we use this positive, powerful, and potential medium in a responsible manner.
