Why UN Security Council is an Outdated Organization

United Nations Security Council (UNSC) was formed in 1946 with primary goal of international peace and security. The body was formed with five permanent members, largely the power houses after second world war. World today is lot different than what it was 70 years back. We are no longer in initial years of 20th century looking to avoid next world war. We are in 21st century, we are a global society and we are focused on economy and science growth. But we do have problems that requires greater attention and timely resolution and I doubt that UNSC in its present form is prepared and capable of doing so.

Challenges of 21st century can largely be attributed to the failure of security council. International terrorism is one such example. Permanent members like USA and Russia, two largest military powers post world war II made this a dummy body with both along with their allies were busy with cold war. How could you aim to have peace when you yourself were involve in nuclear arms race. This left rest of the world unattended and issues related to land spur in almost every part of the world.

So why should one have confidence in this security council. and here is why it is outdated;

1. it no longer represents the democratic view. Its opinion is skewed towards smaller set of nations  and more than 70% of this world having no voice in security council. Africa, Latin America and democratic Asia has no representation (China of course is far from being a democratic nation).

2. UNSC has limited or zero influence on Islamic terrorists groups like Al-Qaida, ISS. UNSC can start a war but will never be able to end it. With a larger representation of people, UNSC can bring in more credibility and will be looked upon as unbiased body. World peace and security is no longer an objective that can be achieved by weapons of mass destruction.

3. UNSC is becoming rich nations club (may be not so rich considering Russia and China's figures). Rich nations with nuclear arms and large armies are permanent members of UNSC. This only motivates other nations to become more richer and build army that is larger ignoring social and peach objectives.

4. 1946 was a different world. Countries like India were still a nation ruled by Britishers. But as time changed many such have not just become independent but have also grown big by their contribution to the international community. These nations can no more can be ignored as they too play decisive rule in defining the future of our planet.

So who all are in race:
Countries like Japan and Germany have proven beyond doubt that they have skills and attitude to produce products that are unmatched by all standards. They have build economy from scratch and have been advocating peace. They have never engaged in any war post 1947, why should they not be part of UNSC. India represents 1/6th of the world population. The secular democratic nation from Asia has never stepped out of its borders to conquer any country or land. They are the largest democracy and they are secular. Unlike middle east and west which are largely influenced by the religion priorities India has come out with an example yet to observe elsewhere on the blue planet.

The choices are now between Brazil and South Africa, both comes from a continent which till date has no permanent representation in UNSC. I see Brazil having a greater advantage due to its improving economy over South Africa which still has to prove a lot on equal rights to all humans. The South African society is far from neutral, and social and economical parameter aren't as impressive as that of Brazil.

What about others:
Middle east is nations constitute a large significant part of our world. They have come out from the old orthodox way to understand the needs of modern society. But they are still driven by the religious priorities and have almost negligible tolerance towards other faiths. Europe with three representation (UK, France and Russia) and one nomination (Germany) has largest group in UNSC permanent members. Surely they are economically sound but they represent only a smaller section of the world. So is the case with Koreans, they also have to settle issues among each other before they can talk about a place in permanent members of UNSC. Australia and Canada are good options but including them brings in no different perspective than what we already have. They do not influence Asia, Middle east, Africa and Latin America as we India, Brazil, Japan and Germany does. There presence in security council will skewed the opinions further towards the NATO and Northern American region.

Existing member may find a reason or more to oppose the inevitable, expansion of UNSC permanent council members. They fear dilution of say. Historically no one likes competition but this time the big five is fast running out of options. If world has to be a safer and better place, we need representation from larger section. Fresh views will bring in more life and power to UNSC, no nations other than India, Brazil, Japan and Germany can be banked upon for this cause.

The Tall inspiration of my life


image source: www.jilaa.net

When I was kid and was asked, ‘what I would like to become?’ I would invariably end-up answering “Amitabh Bachchan” and Why? Simply because he takes bad man to task, he solves all the tough puzzles and looks great. Very little did I know 30 years back that my answer to the most monotonous question in an innocent kids life would remain same. However, the reason today is very different then what it was 30 years back, the Tall inspiration of my life is the most trusted story that I know of.

For me as a kid being ‘Amitabh Bachchan’ was like have a magic-wand, it is the solution of problems that once might face in life. The definition of being ‘Amitabh Bachchan’ has not change in so many years and why should it? Look at the challenges that this super star of the millennium has face in his career and life time and how he has eventually come out victorious each time. Each time life came up with a challenge Mr. Bachchan has truly fought like ‘Amitabh Bachchan’ on screen.

When I was rejected in job interviews, I remember how Mr. Bachchan was shown exit gate by All India Radio for not have the right quality of voice. Today no questions asked, he gets paid heavily for lending his voice in movies and documentaries.

In 1982, he was critically ill during the shooting of a movie and was almost declared dead by Doctors of a famous hospital in Bangalore. So the day I was lying half conscious after a fatal road accident I knew that if Mr. Bachchan can do it so should I be able to. Just like my tall inspiration, I too recovered and was back to normal life in no time.

It is not so that Mr. Bachchan always grew taller; he had his downs as well. Be it in politics or be it in business. He suffered heavy losses and burned bridges with close family friends. Such was the loss that Mr. Bachchan once feared people walking in this office asking for the money they invested in Mr. Bachchan’s venture. But he fought like ‘Amitabh Bachchan’ did on screen.  He fought in real life and came out with flying colours. He repaid all the dues, and in 70th decade of his life he is once again the most successful face of the Indian movies. He is one of the top paid actors and probably most loved by movie enthusiasts across the globe.

So when life becomes tough, I look at the childhood dream of becoming ‘Amitabh Bachchan’ that makes be optimistic about any situation. Be it financial crises, personal relationship or anything else for me life is all about being optimistic by being ‘Amitabh Bachchan’- the tall inspiration of my life. 

For me being ‘Amitabh Bachchan’ is lot more than a being a movie star, it is all about confidence of one’s ability to survive through the tough times and that’s what keeps me going each day of my life.


“Living dream of being Amitabh Bachchan – the tall inspiration of my life”

5 Worst Aamir Khan Movies

Yes, Mr. Perfectionist made some awful selections that you will not believe, are among the worst of his movies. It was during is growing years and probably time when he was still learning the ABC of good script. 

Idea behind this post is not to downplay the actor's talent but let all know that success comes after lots of hard-work, dedication and mistakes that one makes. Getting philosophical... but coming back to the topic. These 5 are my personal choice and trust me I have gone through the torture that probably most admiring Aamir Khan fan would not be able to tolerate.

If you ever happen to be part of debate about various ways to commit suicide, then consider proposing these five movies. Watch them back to back over a weekend and you may never ever again see a Monday.


At Number 5 is MELA, 2000

If one was to ask, 'what can do for your brother'... Mela would probably top the list. Aamir in an attempt to launch his brother made a foolish choice that he too would be saying 'what the hell did I do..." . 

And guess what, what a waste of beautiful twinkle khanna this movie was. Terrible an hopeless characters and hardly anything that you may want to remember the movie for.







At Number 4 is Tum Mere Ho, 1990

Ah. this one was all about snacks, magic and love. A love story that would have more snacks than roses.

Get yourself nailed on a wall but avoid watching this musical love saga for its full length. Songs though were liked by many but trust me even in 2015 this movie looks like bad selection in 90s.









At Number 3 is Daulat ki Jang, 1992 

Ya, it means war of wealth, treasure hidden somewhere in some jungle and lots of bad boys along with few good boys are hunting for it. 

An Indian version of Machinas Gold in 1992 ?? this was pathetic and lousy movie that for sure will give you itching at lots of wrong places if you dare to watch this full length.









At Number 2 is Awwal Number, 1990

Such is the fate of this horrific movie that it cannot even top the list of most disastrous movies of Aamir khan. Awwl Number (meaning top ranked) is by no means top by any measuring criteria. 

The only movie that feature Aamir along side ever green veteran star Devanand is such a classic backwas that even Aamir would not be able to sit and watch this from start to end. A typical example of lousy movies that Dev Sahaab made in last lap of his careers... 







At Number 1 is Aatank hi Aatank, 1995

What a waste of talent and start line up. Aarmi Khan, Ompuri, Juhi Chawala and guess who... Rajnikanth, yes you read it right. 

This one has Rajnikanth playing the role of elder bro of Aamir. You may better watch a dull and boring episode of 'Tarak Mehta ka Ulta chasma' but never try your patience and tolerance limit with this movie.









There are quite few more that probably can be added to list to make it 10 worst Aamir Khan movies. So, tell me / and all reads, about the worst movie of aamir khan that you ever watched ...

आप की कविता




दिल्ली की  चाह  में दिल्ली छोड़ आये।
आप का मत लेने आप वाले आए।

माथे पर टोपी लगा , बड़े अब आम बनगए।
दस हज़ार की रोटी दे हमसे झाडु लगवा गये।
बिजली , पानी और आटा, सब के करे ये कम दाम
सेहरों में सस्ते होंगे गाड़ी, गैस और मकान, 
पर  आप है कौन - गाँव में पूछ रहा किस्सान।

दिल्ही की  चाह  में दिल्ली छोड़ आये।
आप का मत लेने आप वाले आए।

कम होगा काला धन , रिश्वत खोरी ,
ख़त्म होगी देश सम्पत्ति की चोरी।
डर लगेगा अब करते जमाखोरी।
वादे बड़े पर इरादो का क्या?
अरविन्द कच्चे हे और बाकियो का क्या। 

दिल्ली की  चाह  में दिल्ली छोड़ आये।
आप का मत लेने आप वाले आए।

अर्ध सतक से चुकें , पाँच साल खेलें कैसे ,
मिलते नहीं सवालो के जवाब ऐसे।
हिन्दू मुस्लिम सिख ईसाई - सब पूछ रहें हे इनसे ,
दिल्ली से भागे अब दिल्ली में घुसोगे कैसे ,
किस मुह से वोट मांगोगे हमसे।

दिल्ली की  चाह  में दिल्ही छोड़ आये।
आप का मत लेने आप वाले आए। 

कवि - कभी कभी

Arvind Kejriwal, hit or missed!!

One more day, one more target, - Arvind Kejriwal's passion of pining corrupt has taken India by storm. The IAC mastermind keeps revealing name of rich, famous and powerful people in corruption charges. The size of the fish seems to be ever growing though. Salman Khurshid, Robert Vadra, Nitin Gadkari, and now Mukesh Ambani and Reliance Industries. Arvind Kejriwal-led India Against Corruption is growing strength to strength. 

You may question the means, doubt the intention, but shocking revelations made with sufficient proofs is a duty well done in the interest of the nation, though it remains a job half done only. The job is completed when these corrupts are put behind the bar and punished as per the law of the land. Will it ever happen? or not? going by history of not just India but also of many other nations, there is very less probability that these corrupts will be punished.

What worries me more is the result of the aggression that Mr. Kejriwal and his team has taken. Shooting at corrupts in all direction is not going well, attacking both government and opposition is a great gamble (a honest one though). This aggression has forced (for bad) corrupts to team-up and fight against one honest man and his team. Will this help IAC and Kejriwal or will it be a boon for corrupts?

As a Mango Man, it is my honest wish that Mr. Kejriwal succeeds in his aggression and we see a better India, India that is honest and India that punishes powerful corrupts.

My best wishes to IAC and Mr Arvind Kejriwal.

is FDI the only solution?

deteriorating economy, rising corruption charges and unhappy allies - UPA II is going through its worst phase since they first came to power. If it was not all over, some of the key allies left UPA II recently this, following government's controversial announcement to allow FDI in retail sector. The gravity of the situation could be imagined by the fact the MMS came out and spoke on national television, one of the rarest moment.

So is the FDI so crucial that ruling party had to go out to such an extend where they were so close to losing majoring in the parliament!! We had our moments of success and failures with FDI but is the FDI only way to get out this economical mess? point taken that once a section is opened for FDI, country will open up large opportunity for investors to come in and open their shop. Funds will flow-in, rupee will strengthen and jobs get created. This rolls for few years till such time we see these large MNCs starting to take their profit back to their land or elsewhere. The gain of initial few years, will slow down (not complete stopped though), and we will once again see a falling rupee and need to open up one more sector for foreign investment.

While FDI is certainly helping us come out of a tragic situation, it alone cannot help us float for long. Country needs earning just like any family and for that we (India) must make money from exports, by setting but investments else where from where we get regular income, just like what MNCs plan to do at our land.

We had good success in Information technology, gems & Jewell, textiles, leather and stone and few more industries to count on. This post in not against or for FDI but to bring up a point that FDI is just one of the step and not the only step for economy reforms.

Business houses for Education

Indian School of Business was founded in 1996 by few business leaders and academicians and today it is ranked in top 20 B-schools in the world.

Birla education trust founded many institutes including prestigious Birla Institute of Technology in Pilani, Management institute in Delhi.

Tata has been pioneer in education in India, starting from IISC Bangalore, Tata institutes of fundamental research and Tata Institute of science, and many more.

Manipal group in southern India started with first private medical college in India, Kasturba Medical College, largest Distance Education program in India and have institutes globally

there are few more examples to count like Nirma Institute in Ahmedabad where business houses have contributed majorly in bringing up a quality educational institution. While this is good but defiantly not enough, for a society that needs to revolution itself from one of the most corrupt to one of the most prosperous in the world. India has to take this journey and education will play a pivotal role in accomplishing this vision.

While we have some good examples, they surely are not enough. One of the reasons why business houses in India have shy away from education sector is because government policies in India mandates education institutes to be non-profitable. Education Institutes cannot be profit making in India, founders and promoters cannot earn dividends through these institutes. So why should business invest in such a cause. Should they just invest and forget, or they should have control of management and why should they not make money from such institutes?

With motive of profit, these companies may be inclined to setup more and more institutes, and with their capability to bring in quality faculties and industry experience we may see many more world class institutes in India. Business houses in India should be motivated to establish many more professional institutes, policy makes have a job here to do.

Collaborative blogging


'The whole is greater than the sum of its parts'

Collaborative blogging is a type of blog in which posts are contributed by more than one author, although on a common theme.

It requires a great deal of energy and motivation to post regularly. Its imperative to have uniform rate of blog posts across all months as that’s when you attract decent hits on your blog posts. While very few bloggers are able to write regularly, most either give up regular posting or the quality of posts goes down drastically. When you collaborate (& read about synergy) - the blog is not only updated regularly with quality posts but readers too get to read more than one flavor of thoughts / writings. It’s a great practice and something that will also help you in establishing your professional identity better when compared to individual blogging (unless you are already a renowned face in your space)

http://productmantra.net is one such blog where five bloggers authors posts on theme of product development. Sampath, Vivek, Annu, MJ, and Abhay share their experience and thoughts around product management, Agile, & case studies.

Collaborative blogging is receiving greater acknowledgement from the experts and industry. 

Collaborative bloggers are considered better team players, someone who takes people along with, and as professionals who has synergies best. So if you are a blogger or wana be one, try and team up with like minded professionals in your domain. Contributing is another great way of learning.

Lost Ace


Sports and national interest seems to be of very low priority in a country that has earned only one Individual Gold Medal in its history at Olympics. For over 60 years now, we have blamed every possible aspect of sports for our failure to mark a presence in international stage, be it economics, society, media, bureaucracy, corruption, politics, infrastructures, educational system, upbringing, culture, our neighbors and if not less even starts and planets. We always believed that everything and everyone under the SUN are against our sports champions and we have too many struggles when compared to other countries.

We always looked at Nordic nations, China, USA, Australia and said that they are lucky to have all that they need to be champion, and if we had those blessings we too would have made it big in international stage. But what we don’t see is Africa and Latin Americas where probably things are even worse than that in India but they still get more medals and perform better than us.

Last few days in Indian tennis has been heartbreaking. For a sport that rouse from dust to sky, received everything thing that other sports just dream of, including media attention, and love of people, it was great shameful to see its stalwarts fighting like street dogs in front of the nation, and in international media. I grew up watching Leander Paes, and for me his Sachin Tendulkar of Indian Tennis. Bhupti, Sania and Rohan came in very late but they continued the legacy of Leander, Ramanathan Krishnan and Amritraj. They became face of Indian Tennis and dream of billion. They carried aspiration of millions on their shoulders and made tri-color proud by performance.

But somehow, the nation and sport seems to have lost importance and individual ego, preferences and priorities have become of higher importance. Neither Sachin (Cricket legend), nor Abhinav bindra (shooting gold medalist at Olympics) or Viwanathan Anand (world chess champion) ever behaved in this manner. They are sport gem, not just on pitch but also off-filed. For the first time in history of sports in India, sports person are reason for bring down the glory and setting up ugly culture. In this unprecedented event wherein players have come out in open and displayed an ugly character, I hope AITA takes stringent action and ensure this was first and last of its kind.

UPA II: 3 years, do we have reason to cheer?

3 years done, should government celebrate or should be shown the gate. With great hopes people of this country re-elected Dr. Manmohan and his team for a second tenure, hopes that fell flat on nose with corruption charges, inflation & deteriorating economy. The worst part though is the helplessness of Dr. who just don't appear anything beyond a feeble person who lost all his leadership qualities under the burden of coalition dharma.

So do we have reasons to cheer, yeah I am wonder for some time now and long deep thoughts I realized that every cloud has a silver line, so does this too.
  1. 3 for 5 years are gone. So even if this government survives its tenure, I guess majority of the pain by now is gone. We will have to manager this burden for a shorter duration only
  2. We realized the importance of NDA, the Left, the 3rd front & the 4th front. we need them to  bring in some balance.
  3. We now understand that a great CFO need not become even an average CEO. It's a different ball game.
  4. We now understand that character and values matter more than education.
  5. We have learned that coalition means collective efforts to stop progress. Do chose a single party, strong character if you need change. Change for good.


Thanks to UPA II for giving us such a fabulous learning and helping us value what we took for granted. Jai hind.

Sachin WHY NOT JOIN POLITICS

For over 20 years he ruled the 22 yards track of grass and dirt. Now the God of Cricket has decided to move on to larger role, getting into Rajya Sabha as nominated member.

As an individual he has liberty to make choice and decide on his career path, however I along with billion others who always prayed for his success will not prefer him taking on any specific corner, Right Left or Center.

I hope sachin will not divide his followers and will step in and out of parliament with head held high for the reason that he represents people of this country and not wimps and fancies of any political party.

2011 Assembly polls

Three category of parties / politicians emerged post assembly election results today. One who won, second who lost with learning and third who lost with arrogance.


Congratulations to first category of parties, people have shown trust in you and now you please deliver on people's expectations. SP, SAD, BJP top this list.


Parties that lost and said yes we will take learning out of this lose are graceful losers, BJP in UP is one such example.


Parties that blamed non-existing reasons for loss (eg. polarization etc) and refused to accept the defeat include Congress in UP, Congress in Punjan, Congress in Goa, SP in UP, SP in Uttrakhand and BJP in Uttrakhand. These parties or local leadership will pay heavy prices if they do not understand peoples verdict. Guys you are thrown out - please respect janta, accept their decision and accept that you lost due to your poor performance and winners good performance.


In coming few days we will see enough Nataks (dramas) from various leaders in central and state bodies resigning, blaming, protecting and losing cool head. Lets wait and watch the fun.


Meanwhile, congratulations to voters who showed once again that if their elected representatives do not win they will not hesitate to throw them out. Assembly results today are reflection of powerful democratic system and peoples verdict on corruption.

CMAT Exam

I am excited to see education in India taking new Avatar as one by one many entrance and term examinations by universities and boards go online. CMAT is just one more such test. AICTE started conducting CMAT on all India level starting this year, and I was among the lucky few to take this test today on Feb 20th 2012. Liked few things and hated few things, good is that we are moving on and bad is that low cost mindset still hurts us.

The hall ticket issued says I need to reach at 1 PM at venue for a test that starts at 2:30 PM, am I travelling international? - I had opted Bangalore as my center choice and I was given that - but guess what, 36 kms far away on way to new airport, after Yelahaka - I need to take a left on a high speed highway for which no sign board were fixed. Center was NITTE Menakshi Institute something, about 4 kms off-highway, the worst possible location one can have. I meet students who had booked auto-rickshaw (three wheelers) for 5 hours and drove all the way from Bangalore to this dammn place. Probably these guys wanted to cut down on cost of center.

Moreover, folks at center wanted to verify documents, a exercise that I did not experience in any other management entrance test. We were made to sit in a hall (class room) and were quickly run through the instructions. this was after a photo and biometric authentication. No wonders, next was test.

Test started, in well organized room, we were about 50 in one room but the test user interface sucked. It had no demarcation of sections, all 4 sections could be see in single go. Navigation buttons were quite far from questions so too much of mouse movement, and cannot get out of class even when you complete test 30 mins before time over.

Over and over it was not so great experience. But yes, questions were pretty straight forward and I guess was at not par with any other entrance that I have appeared in. Easiest test with horrible location and management staff. People and venue were kind but that was not I went there for.

Global warning

Israel embassy staff targeted in Delhi. US & European Union aim to isolate Iran on nuclear issue, and Iran wants to cut down oil supply to west, blames Israel for targeting its scientists. Tension is growing and effects are soon seen on soaring crude oil prices.

While Russia and China plays a wait and watch game, patience is running out. Economic slowdown, followed by Arab world slowdown and now nuclear tension. All is NOT well with our world.

While political community device a plan to ease tension and ensure safe world, I would request you all to pray for peace of our world to your God and hope that we live in safe and peaceful environment.

Election - Code violation ! why is congress worried

Commitments are flowing like water in Gangas - UP elections are drawing political parties crazy, route to central is overcrowded with false promises and senseless allegations. Deteriorate socio-ecnomic scenario and ugly vote-bank politics, party leaders are fast shredding away character & morality. 

Pressure of winning is so high that even the law minister of congress is unable to hold himself, education is insulted and knowledge is pissed away when moral code of conduct is violated by none other then the person who should be standing in support of it. The character is of this law minister is something similar to the MLAs of Karnatak assembly who were caught watching so called 'educational vidoes' while session was in progress.

Has winning become more important then being self? or is this their true self. defending worst of actions and challenging actions against immoral & illegal acts is not going to win them elections or confidence of people.

My sincere request for these leaders (I hate calling them so but....), stop worrying of results when you play, give in best, show sportsmanship and praise what you can. Build character and not vote banks, something that will surely be remember for long.

Karnataka Sleaze

It happens in India, three ministers nearing into grandpa age were caught watching 'educational video' in legislative assembly. Ah they had no idea about all this - they got married, have kids and probably their kids will soon have kids or might have kids but they still dont know about all this - so what's wrong in watching educational video - at least they were learning something unlike other MLAs who just fight most of the time.

London 2012 Olympic Games & Bhopal

London 2012 Olympics games is already making headlines for all wrong reasons, be at a wooping $100 ticket for infants / kids or its sponsorship agreement with Dow Chemicals. Not all is well with this mega event which is suppose to be one of its kind under the Sun.

All what I believe now is the financial crunch which is forcing the organizing body to get to such low level unkind decisions. Olympics are for masses and not for making huge profits. After all its all about sports, sportsmanship, togetherness and happiness. Heavy ticket prices will keep lovers of sports away from the event and without fans sports person cannot be at their best.

Agreement with dow chemicals is a shameful act. Company responsible for thousands of death and counting and refusing to do its duty of cleaning up its ugly acts should not have been associated with this Olympics. Dow chemicals is a shame on human race and people who let them go lose and people who encourage them in business are equally responsible for negligence of their responsibilities. Dow and London Olympics together are ignoring too many facts around to be respected. All for sure, if this kumb of sports goes with Dow, the shine of five rings take knock.

Hope cries of infant from Bhopal reaches burst deaf ears of Olympic association and Dow is show the door to Bhopal to clear its pending duties.

Congratulations to Anna

It was a fantastic feeling to see leaders of top national parties of India at same platform, debating for a strong JanLokPal bill. Leaders from opposition including Arun Jaitely, Brinda Karat and few others pitched in with their views - none disappointing and all encouraging.


Perhaps now is the right time for large population of this country who still are missing from action on Janlokpal bill to come out and stand in support of this movement that is being written in golden words.


About the power hungers and control freeks - may God bless them with wise minds.

FDI in Retail

Debate is on and parliament functioning is off - Is FDI in retail is good for Indian farmers or is it going to make poor man more poorer. It will create job opportunities for job seekers but at the same time will it not hammer small entrepreneurs who continue to dream of doing something of their own - not sure, and nor do I believe that anyone can be sure on this.


Putting this behind, in the interest of people of this nation, if we are not able to build on a conviction then why should we not put this controversial initiative on back burner for sometime and look at other opportunities or needs where FDI will definitely help without impacting the weaker (economically) section of the society.


Let look at FDI in aviation, FDI in research, FDI in manufacturing, FDI in farm services, FDI in river linking, FDI in exports!! hmm quite different but we must look at opportunities to innovate in investment. Sounds crazy but that's what rosecurry is all about.
