I was recently watching 2 tamil movies. 1) Varanam Aayiram and 2) Abhiyum Naanum
Both were potraying a Father-son and a Father-Daughter relationship from birth. That is when, I was thinking about the fast paced life in India now and gone are the days where mom/dad were living in the same house with their sons, Atleast for the most. India is built on Joint family structure and it is slowly breaking down. I am not going to argue that it is bad or good for our culture. At the least, these 2 movies will make sons and daughters think about their father's and mother's sacrifice. These 2 movies should change the current generation's mindset and they should spend some time with their Parents during festivals or try to maintain a Quasi-Joint-Family.
I have lot of theories about US culture and their behaviour at work life and Indian culture and our behaviour at work life, Thatz for another blog.

Satyam - Truth! What a irony?
Wow 7000 Crores in 7-8 years.
This is because of the pressure on Indian IT companies to grow by 30-40%. Yes, IT outsourcing can be a big market in US/UK, But growth should be steady and people should not expect all companies to grow at the rate. Please have less expectations on Indian Companies, Yes Indian companies are growing, but do not expect at 30-40%.
I definitely do not know how many more companies are in the line. How many big more companies and how many more auditing firms?
All companies choose their own independent directors and they choose a person who is amicable and go with their decisions. This should change, Probably government should appoint a independent director in all companies to protect share holders interest (for publicly listed companies).
I personally feel, the indenepdent directors know about this scam and so is top Satyam management. Raju was not only falsifying margins, he was falsfying operations to support the margin/revenue. Definitely Satyam top management, even current interim CEO know about it.
What a waste? We should learn from Enron/Worldcom and other countries and we need Strong act like SOX in India right now.
Satyam in Sanskrit means truth.... :-) What a irony?

NCAA in India...
NCAA in US is very strong and they create lot of Sports pro. I see the kind of talent which they create in American Foot ball, Basketball. People here in US follow these College sports like Professional sports and the Yearly revenue is 600 million dollars. They support all college sports which are not even profitable like Soccer, Base ball, Track&Field. BCCI which is reaping in so much of revenues by TV rights and other ****** league rights can contribute to SAI (Sports Authority of India) or create its own body to support not only cricket, but other sports and help young talents to become pro's.
I have known 50-100 folks when I was practicing Track and field (during my school days) who took some job in PSU's and discontinued playing the sports. They practice the sports just get a job.
BCCI can change that state now by supporting other sports too like Hockey, Soccer, Track&Field. We should use this cricketing craziness in India to develop other sports too. Governmental programs will help, But with the corruption in India.... It will take years.
Private Corporations in India can do a little more too like TATA's, AMBANI's can create a sports federation of their own and can hire coaches and can adapt athelets or recruit athletes.
Hmm... We are not asking China's way of doing things. (Force recruit kids when they are 5). All we are asking is give indian kids a chance to choose sports as a pro career path, Who knows given that chance, I would have become next carl lewis of India :-)
