What can China do or perhaps it will not

For the last 3 decade anyone who has benefitted from the free market economy of america and and its people's indulgence in consumerism the most in the world economically is China and created itself huge fiscal deficit as against huge surplus of china.
thats china's skill with huge human and natural resource and lower value of renminbi against US dollar, made it most suitable for china to be export oriented and feed its people by selling American and Japanese products made in china.
Now order has changed since economic crises, and it was Obama's destiny to be the president in these difficult times and i think he is making in reaching out to the world in order to resolve the crises, but countries like china which has huge significance in resolution shies away from any american request and enjoy all the attention of its indispensability in todays world, which is not fair. I think if china actually wants to portray some true leadership it can stand up to global challenges and not just pursuing its own interest. Instead of artificially curbing the appreciation of renminbi if it can become more transparent let market decide the rate then iam sure china would not just lift american economy but the european as well and consequently the global economy.
But if China stays stubborn then its own consumerism bubble will burst if not sooner than later and will not sustain in globalised world and history will see china as one fake, immoral wealthy economy of no use to our world or otherwise great leadership by chinese govt.
Obama himself cant take America out recession so factor in other things. Putting boxing gloves i don't know for what,  literally of no use or metaphorically for whom; for other countries. You should not expect that.

Commonwealth games-problem anaylsis-to foreigners

Well i wish the Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium could have the finest grass in all of Delhi.
watch the video first before reading
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/jamespearce/2010/10/suresh_kalmadi_a_long_way_from.html
1.BBC shouldn't have done such interview with Suresh Kalmadi because more he speaks more controversial things will become. Perhaps more visits on BBC website and eliciting more comments prompted that. It is the people of Delhi who booed him at the opening ceremony. BBC should get the sense of CWG from delhiites on the street, in the market places.

2.Things falling in place at the eleventh hour is just a routine in our lives for example of marriage or any other function. But even when it comes to hosting an international event like CWG and attracting foreign eyes we repeated the same thing which was unexpected. Problem lies with perception, Delhi has become prosperous and reading that economy is doing well all around with GDP numbers certainly raised expectation very high and hosting meticulously best CWG. And kalmadi started comparing it with beijing olympics which further raised the bar of Indians. Now when matter of delay in completion of venues and security not in place initially by indian media, everyone watched on tv whats going to happen and it soon became matter for hot debate because nationalism was involved. TV news channel TRPs sky rocketed. Sure enough for country like india which has world highest no. of private tv news channel highlighting same things day in and out(nuisance of 24*7 news era), later coupled with sensitive foreign press helped issues to be made worldwide.

3.Idea for holding the games for India was not just to host 17 events of sports in few stadiums but also to showcase our culture and prowess of budding economic power. To attract tourism not just for a fortnight but again and again. Management incompetency of govt has been seen by people which might just force investors to think at least twice.

4.Kalmadi is a politician and glued to the post of president of Indian Olympic Association since 1996 and was reelected in 2008 till 2012 and allegedly in connivance helped 83 years old Vidya Stokes to become president of Hockey India Fed. Everyone and foreigners could under stand how 83 year old will rejuvenate indian hockey. Its pity in describing situation of indian sports to all international audience. And remind you there are many more Kalmadis holding position in different sports organisation and federations.
He is an arrogant man and will never accept mistake and say sorry genuinely. Just to give example during the felicitation ceremony that had been arranged to honour the three Indian medalists at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Kalmadi reportedly walked out because he had not been offered a chair next to the Vice-President of India Hamid Ansari.
Can read at http://www.rediff.com/sports/2008/sep/05guest.htm

4.Suggestion for BBC- I have trying since 10 oct to get ticket to watch any event from boxing, or badminton, or rugby but it CWG websites www.tickets.cwgdelhi2010.org say all sold out. when they are sold why venues are still filled at 50% capacity when last 3 days of competition are left. So arrange an interview or ask credible authority regarding this because something is fishy. Earlier ticketing manager reported to have been taken away the responsiblity from. New Monika Jolly has been the task. Ask her.
Reports of black selling of tickets also been reported.

And please dont let Kalmadi talk to media. He is the one who has let india down. thats why people are writing so many comments on cwg all over these days and they all are upset from kalmadi.

And there are good things and good people are too who are working to keep the games going. Shortcomings are there but as mature countries like England, Australia and Canada must understand and support for India's quest.

Will it be a fiasco? CWG

Going by the current news on financial irregularities in commonwealth games, unprepared stadium, construction debris all over Delhi, it pretty much seems it will be fiasco. Well its all the mentality of our politicians, organisers even ordinary man in Delhi have same level thought and commitment to our country. We all tend to do things in the eleventh hour. Since the announcement of Delhi hosting the CWG till today our politicians and organisers who boast of getting the games to Delhi have actually been procrastinating well., 2 months months left Chief minister of Delhi says by august end everything will be done and finishing touches will provided by september. But to see the state of affairs of incomplete work is untenable.Let me tell you about Shiela Dixshit, when at closing ceremony at Melbourne in 2006 she was presented with the Commonwelath games Flag, she just hugged the flag and placed it with her heart. I thought i was watching that, its a proud moment and we have four years to prepare ourself to show the world truly global games. I think she must have felt the same after receiving the flag. But time passes very fast, 4 years on, every body knows what the deep trouble they all are in. Now these days she has become active in moving about delhi , see the pace of development. But with every rain we see water logged streets and jams. She blames MCD for that, MCD blames their luck. Recently she was in a function on the ocassion of a private bank opening their branches in Delhi NCR. I hoped she gone out on streets to actually see jams and debris all over.
Also she announced that by the end of august the contractor fails to complete the work will be blacklisted.
well well, what about incomplete flyovers tkaen up by PWD. what about NDMC who have on record in a newspaper said they will miss the deadline not of august but not before games  to complete underground service channel, 8 new subways and air conditioning plant in Connaught Place. Blacklist NDMC for that they have already missed June deadline causing traders in the area to incur losses due to digging of roads and pavements.

Now i wish these Commonwealth Games had not been awarded to India. At least people outside would not see our corrupt way of life and doing things.

farewell to Sharad cricket Pawar

The 'dexterous' Sharad Pawar wants to relieve himself of work of managing an agriculture portfolio. huh
the reason as stated by the minister himself is that he wants to concentrate on party and wants to reach out to youth. He himself said that he could not meet people at the ground from the last 2-3 years. well what he was doing then in that time. He was enjoying the IPL and its windfall revenue to BCCI. He enjoys being the president of BCCI, so how would he be able to reach out to ordinary public in those 2-3 years. He wants money being a minister MP is not enough money for him. And as long as BCCI is making money he will remain the president and will not retire in whole life like Suresh Kalmadi.
Now he has been appointed as  the pridesident of ICC. Surely his work is going to increase so he asks PM Manmohan Singh to reduce his burden. After all he has set his priority right towards cricket and damn the farmers and agriculture; food prices spiraling out of control and he runs away from his responsiblity at crucial time. The news of 1 lakh sacs of wheat rotting outside in the open in Udaipur. Ration meant for poor could feed thousands for number of days spent in utter waste. Who is answerable the FCI(Food Corporation Of India) who i believe comes in his portfolio. It  is criminal negligence in the country where people literally die of starvation everyday.

From the last 5 days there have comments made by him and news in media about his appointment in ICC and his meeting with PM to reduce his burden. But not a single time he commented on criminal waste of food grains in the country or unfortunately none of the media personnel asked Sharad Pawar about it who himself would not comment on something whose blame lay on him.

Recently he talks of sugar price deregulation, now allowing big sugar companies to export millions of tonnes of sugar out of the country when prices at consumer level have not stabilized yet .

Enough criticising Mr. Sharad Pawar, i think he is a able administrator of cricket in India and the fact that he cant and could not do anything about inflation shows his inefficiences in that. It is in best interest that he should be relieved of his cabinet ministerial shiop and let allow him to rebuild his party. It will be a good riddance.
Somebody else should step in his shoes in hand agri.

lets have freedom

Most of us think that we have freedom in this country. this can be said in two context.
freedom of speech and expression, freedom to go anywhere within the boundaries  of this country  are provided to us through constitution of India, the mother of all books that we have to abide by. But as i said books and perhaps only in books, and obscure in reality. Second type of freedom, few people do have freedom of sorts which is not written anywhere especially for them. Freedom to break laws. how easily in our country people commit crimes and just get off like it was their some hobby to do once in while. How easily a politician take laws in their hands, how they can siphoned crores of taxpayer's money in their bank a/cs. How a rich drunk teenage can mow down people in the night. This type of freedom is provided to the powerful and rich people there is no leash on their acts.
Those were the two types
We are sensitive, insecure, intolerant society, thus highly vulnerable. I dont have to mention the case of M F Hussain, or taslima nasreen, or north Indians in Maharashtra. we dont have freedom to express a humour through a cartoon or making a painting or publishing a book but they have all the right and freedom to create mob, destroy public property, ransack exhibitions, abuse people. Sometimes its only jungle raj thats prevails and authorities just keep mum. Authorities have laws and force but no use of that force except in matters where only poor and not powerful people are involved. The groups like shiv sena, mns, bajrang dal and their ilks spread only venom and make hate speeches, they get weapons and come out on street creating tangible disruptions, authorities by not acting against them not only getting away from the situation but making them stronger. there is no deterrence. You these days if anyone has a problem and wants to convey to the govt, he'll just pick up a rod smash glasses of trains, buses, stores etc. yes thats the way.. We all are of same society that people like us also have tendency to break laws and even feel proud about jumping a traffic light.
see the point is its hard to convince people that all of us are being used as just pawns by some groups  mentioned above. how are we going to fight them. Since we are not them and since have no weapons but have the power to vote them out and pressurize state govt. to take actions against them, if they dont vote them out and let them know why
we are a majority of people but are silent, expressing through blog is only to tell u that is the strategy to do it or otherwise what do we do with our freedom, we want be superpower and progress and that will ni\ot happen until those who create impedance are removed..
