I don't buy most of the ideas of my friend what I posted in my previous blog. However I do agree, one need to think about society and fellow members other than herself. And society will prosper if there are more people who give to the society than those who take from the society. So we need to think of what can we do for the society?
I was talking with a college senior couple of days ago. we were discussing when one should start doing social work. One of the argument is one should enjoy the moments now, do the duty for family and oneself which resembles to grahastya and after retirement one should do social service (but not quite banaprastha! huh) may be by some NGO.
Otherside of the talk is to have the social service along with the normanl work. Social service includes to respond someone when he is in trouble, and we are already doing it. Social service is not neccessarily pumping money but providing what the society what it needs.

What will happen after 70 years in India: This is not my view..
These are not my school of thoughts. I don't agree with most of the arguments, however I found the argument interesting and the person who put forth even more interesting.
There will be in foghts that is lead by farmers and there will be a bloodshed and India will be born after 70-80 years. India was a country that is concived in 20th century by aurobindo Ghosh later supported by Tilak and British left the country because India was no more profitable to them. Since then we are exploiting and trying to get my share out of the country, never bothered about others. Look at the traffic, loook at the market, everywhere its "I" that preceeds over everything else. Farmers are suiciding across the country. Today's children are more concerned about themseleves and their ego. They have more knowledge on What is best univ in USA than who Mahatma Gandhi was. So once the "I" continues the powerful will get their share and the poor will starve which will lead to another revolution.
The revolution will be lead by firmers and will take another 70-80 years and bloodshed will happen and it will be end of Kaliyug.

Should Microsoft buy Yahoo?
Microsoft has put a proposal of 44.2 billion dollars to buy yahoo. Should it buy Yahoo? How will it impact the market? My perspective is the merger will be 21st century Time Warner, AOL take over. It will be an altra failure. MSFT and Yahoo have little in common other than rivalary with Google. Investors have reacted negatively to the bid by MSFT and shares have goe down. Yahoo has not responded positively yet. If everything goes well, then antitrust might come in the way of MSFT-Yahoo merger.
Cash rich MSFT will take debt to buy Yahoo. It needs to sort out burocratic issues such as merger, removing the duplicate work, anti trust et al. By the time it will be ready to compete with Google, Google will be a few step ahead than MSFT-Yahoo combined.
So I am skeptical if the merger will ever succeed.

Selective writing
I have gone through a couple of newspapers both English and Oriya. Oriya news papers faintly report about the killing of Hindus. It says some people set fire in a village where residents are predominantly Hindus and they bolted doors of some houses while doing so. However English newspapers are mum on the same.
Why are the newspapers keeping mum in the issue? The answer I can think of is it does not suit their propaganda. They can sell idea like communal fanatic Hindus organizations are torturing the minorities. We are the watchdogs. The idea does not sell to say Hindus are attacked by minorities in a state where BJP is in power. So local papers reported the news half heartedly and English media, the so called (pseudo)secularist media, ignored it.
To put it in Gujarat Chief Minister Modi's word they have a different standard for a foreign missionary (Graham stone) and for the local Indians (the residents of Brahmini village). The former is a national shame where as the later is not news at all.

Value of life of Hindu
Orissa is in news. Mostly the corporate run english papers don't write anything about Orissa. It either covers poverty ridden deaths of oriya people or how Christians are torchered in Orissa. I can not think of any good news published about Orissa. If anybody follows the India media he would think Orissa is a place for fanatic Hindus. Let me ask some simple questions to my media friends.
1) Do they know how the incident started?
2) What is their take on lakshmananda Saraswati?
3) Do the know the number of people died because of the riots?
4) What would have been their reaction in case 40 Christians were died in stead of 40 Hindus?
Report:
In Orissa 40 Hindus who are burn alive.
The communal violence took forty innocent lives in Brahmani village, on Wednesday. The unmoving action of the ranked Police official caused the blood shed in Brahmani village. During the visit of the chief Minister Naveen Pattnaik, the curfew was violated for a few moments. The relaxation in the curfew due to the visit on Chief Minister provided a chance to the Christian community. After the visit of Naveen Pattnaik, utilizing the chance fully, the Christian community hooked the doors of the Hindu houses from outside and blazed it. As per information, 12 people died unsophisticatedly in the burning houses. To disclose the violent situation of Kandhmal from the outer world, the cell phones of the Police personals were seized. According to the sources, Mohana tahasildar , Bedabara Pradhan, who was provided with the magistrate power, with drew the curfew from the locality, viewing the Chief Minister's Brahmani village visit.
Can media confirm or deny the report??
It brings back the old question what is the value of a Hindu life in Hindustan?

Odisa my state
I am from orissa. I have talked with people from other states. While discussing with them, these are the two important topics that are discussed several times.
1) Orissa is rich in ore mines and have adequete rain fall. Why Orissa is one of the poorest state in India?
2) Oriya people are poor state still it does not have naxalite problem like its neighbors. Orissa has 37% public in SC and ST, still it does not have caste based hatred like other states.
Discussion to follow.
