A Modern Growth story or a Story of growth in the Modern world?

"Given the choice between doing business in China or India, most foreign investors would probably pick China, The Economist said. "But as the global economy becomes more knowledge-intensive, India's advantage will grow."


Yeah this is the story of Indian in itself too.
Knowledge intensive is changing the perspectives within India as well and as many in India realise now! The world will realise too.

-> Many will feel sorry for the chances they missed.
-> Many will be glad they risked to bet on India.
-> Many will feel frustrated they knowingly or unknowingly exited India once.
-> Many will grow and reap the returns where we give every one a chance!

Well i always wonder when, we are allowing FDIs and FIIs, even at the cost of a huge economic differentials as in interest rates and returns for instance, why??

We can always limit them and safe guard the inflation and the national economic status.

It is the heritage and culture we carry that we sacrifice many for the humanity and the world but please this means in no ways an easy ride for any one who thinks they can fool around! Some where beyond 1947 when the nationalistic Nehruvian dream engines started raoring we decided to regulate as and when required. I just love the words Demography, Democracy , Diversity all in India :)

Volume build up comes as a part of the package and indeed to be frank no one in India is focusing on Volume build up. Rate of growth will be a impressive and ofcourse when we say the largest market- is it because of the amount of people or the buying power and style of people?

The topic is getting interesting day by day and this will indeed be one of the tremendous and mystic growth story of the modern age where industrial growth or industrial revolution will no longer be a key factor of growth!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

The power of Black & White?

A lovely video I spotted on one of my friend's selections wanted to share it out!
This has been acclaimed as one of the best videos ???

Father's love

One of the most profound verses from the word of God!
'For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son to die for us that we may have eternal life.'
Here is a nice cinematic picturisation of this verse and i would say this verse has the whole meaning of the Faith in Lord. This video will definitely help us understand what sacrifices mean when you want to save someone.

And this sacrifce is the eternal bridge between God and all those whom He loves and it is our choice to take that narrow way and the Bridge His son and Sacrifice the only path to Eternal life.

The journey may be tough but the Love, the joy, peace and Hope is the good news of ths journey and God's grace and mercy will guide us through!

Smile turns to giggles for me!

I was smiling yesterday but today giggling after reading the article mentioned int he links below! I think we have the right to say 'no' to anything and everything and 'yes' to some things.We are to take our stand clearly.We have as i mentioned before also on my blogs kept quiet many times but no more be available for 'taken for granted'.

Kamal Nath is doing a proper job as per the vision he has put in his book "India's Century". It is important to know the past we have had and what we have withstood. When the developed nations make their claims, they need to know whom they are talkng to and should know that things have changed form their good old days. The latest news i hear is that the WTO talks have collapsed and India and China are being blamed by the developed. We don't even care what they blame on us i should say, and keep our focus to growth and aliveate poverty and stand up on our feet!

Now the news says "WTO talks in Geneva fails after 7 years!" BBC Link here.

Read the Article here. Really made me giggle.

In fact i was smiling when an american journalist was menitioning that even she was surprised to see US trying to force things on India or China known where each of them including themselves stand and that US was trying to get things done the way they want and expect any one to us to obey. She was not able to believe herself!

Several clips were excluded to keep the main ones in this short compilation.
One full night of effort and completed the film early morning 7 AM. Learn a lot Vista Issues an movie maker tips.Even great as when I knew that there were limits of uploads on You tube even!!!My Good ness!

Chugoku

Chugoku- The name for China ( in Japanese means the midde country) and this is something i kept hearing through out the trip recently to Beijing. It was a wonderful experience even if was a short meeting. But things I will cherish all along and always looking for ward to be again! The food and the cultural experience was unbeatable. The languange was the only trouble I faced and the rest were all amazingly superb! One of the best trips ever and mind it the Beijing airport is too very huge huh! Check out the snaps on Flickr!

Moon cake !

Today I had for the first time a moon cake, as if i was really supposed to have it right in time. Lin san today afternoon brought some omiyage from China and they were moon cake. I was in a meeting and was just lucky to pick up that last one in the corner of the big box as i got back. Just in time and as if it was indeed waiting for me :)
Interestingly i came to know about the moon cake a couple of days back and this is a pastry used in China during the Mid Autumn festival and this is the time when families and dear and near ones get together or it is considered as a time of togetherness. Read more here on the wiki links for Mid Autumn festival and Moon cakes.

I am not sure why they are called pastries but they tasted slightly sweet and placid with semi solid Lotus paste kind of filling. Interesting but it was like we were both waiting for each other- And at last we made it just in time me and the moon cake :)

And i guess its because of the shape of the moon in this beautiful and special time! Interesting and enchanting cultural experiences!
