Astro-psephology: who will win?

"Congress in gloom, Lotus may bloom"
The elections dates and date of results are quite unfavourable. Serious violence is likely to erupt. Besides the large number of complaints about illegal activities and corrupt practices. Interestingly, Mayawati will not only lose ground, these elections might see her in deeper trouble.

Congress: In the Dasamsa chart of Congress, the stars will find it difficult to sustain their existing strength. The transit of Mars and Sun from the eighth house from the Moon shows that Congress will be accused of malpractices and face embarrassing developments. BJP: The sub-sub period of Ketu in the main period of Venus and sub period of Mercury will operate from November 11, 2008, to January 10, 2009. This coupled with other planetary movements are likely to benefit the party. LK Advani was confident and hopeful even during the negative period of Rahu, which ends on November 29. During the state elections, his Mars and Sun will remain in the ascendant and Jupiter will transit the second house, strengthening the BJP.....Continue

Learning from their formative violent past no one else but the...the deformed future generation...

This phenomenon has spread across more developed continents too. In South Asia, most militia organizations find it easier to recruit kids in their terrorist organisations, while in more developed countries of Western Europe & especially the US, peer pressure, frustration, identity crisis, jealousy & distorted childhood is giving rise to new generation of trigger happy children, who for a momentary pleasure of raised adrenaline can anytime go out for a killing spree in schools/colleges, such incidence of mass firing have became regular feature in the US.

At the crossroads of the millennium, mankind needs to take certain crucial decisions, as to whether all these, happening in the name of development (or in absence of it), would essentially make this world a happier place to live in or not? Which is certainly not so to begin with, it is better for mankind to go back to their basic instinct & make sure that their young ones are taken care of.

‘How has GCPL addressed this menace called attrition, of late?’

“We commenced a program, a few months ago, where we have a detailed career discussion with the employees. It would not be possible to meet the career aspirations of all, but having said that we have aggressively stepped up our efforts,” states Sumit. The company has gone onto institutionalise Employee Value Proposition (EVP), which creates a purpose for employees. Sumit divulges, “Under the EVP program, we have four sets. One is the balance score-card that we employ. Secondly, we give empowerment, which means that we have loosened our control. Thirdly, we have institutionalized a corporate university, wherein the employees can self-nominate for courses. Last but not the least; we have appreciation programs that go beyond salaries and wages. We empower our managers to give out token and rewards to employees directly.”

Under the employee incentive front, the employees are awarded incentives on the basis of EVA (Economic Value Added). Incentive programs, which form a component of individual performance, are used, and typically, the ratio of individual to collective is 20-25%. The incentives are paid out once a year... But most importantly, Sumit candidly admits that despite the best of efforts put in by GCPL, attrition rates manage to crop up. The company on its part is of course making efforts to curb this syndrome and is readying itself for bigger future HR challenges.

Uncaring to core

The vacillating Indian political class has once again proved its incompetence to stem the growing tide of communal frenzy in the nation. The UPA government-sponsored Communal Violence (Prevention, Control & Rehabilitation of Victims) Bill, 2005 is a half baked, hurriedly draft ed bill and is drawing flak from all quarters. Calling the bill a “dangerous piece of legislation”, eminent jurists, civil society activists, academics & legal experts have urged the government to begin the process of drafting the bill afresh. In a joint statement issued at the end of recently concluded “National Consultation” on the subject, the luminaries pointed out that the proposed draft will “strengthen the shield of protection enjoyed by the political leaders for their acts of omission and commission in these crimes. It is a Bill, which conceives of communal violence as nothing but a ‘one time’ event, rather than as a long-term politically motivated process and seeks to prevent it only by giving greater powers to state governments”.

“You know the Asian markets opened weak today”

If one were to have a look at the aftermath of the crisis, the integration of the Asian countries with the rest of the world (especially that of China with the US) has been much faster than within Asia itself (intra-regional co-operation). A few facts in this regard will make this statement clearer. According to a recent IMF working paper ‘Financial Integration in Asia: Recent Developments and Next Steps’, Asia’s intra-regional cross-border portfolio investment is relatively small. Asia’s portfolio liabilities to other Asian countries amounted to only 2.25% of Asia’s GDP in 2004, less than one-third of Asia’s liabilities to either North America or the EU – which was about 7.25% of Asia’s GDP to each region. Moreover, liabilities to these two regions rose by a larger amount during 2001-2004 than intra-regional liabilities. The same pattern holds for Asia portfolio’s assets. The same basic pattern holds for cross-border bank borrowing & lending, with Asian countries dependent more on inter-regional flows than intraregional flows. Global cross border claims by Asian banks roughly doubled during 1999–2005, but claims on Asia grew by a slower rate than claims on either the US or the EU, & through 2005, claims on Asia remained smaller than claims on these other two regions. Similarly, European or North American bank claims on Asia were larger & grew faster than Asian bank claims on Asian countries.

Inconceivable, no more!

Ain’t no risk high enough

The concept of late motherhood began to gain ground as medical science evolved. There was a time when conveniently conceiving at the age of forty was as inconceivable as growing potatoes on a banana tree (!), but obstetrical advancements have not only beaten age, but other complications like obesity, acute diabetes and fluctuating blood pressure too!

At odds with this growing trend, Dr Madhu Shrivastav (Senior Consultant and Coordinator, Gynaecology, Fortis Hospital, Noida) opines, “Whatever the research be, the fact remains that conceiving at a later age is medically not advisable. Albeit the ideal age is 25-30 years, many women these days are planning a family at a very late age, and then there are gynaecological complications that surface later. Due to their high flying careers, there has been a paradigm shift in the ages of women trying to conceive.”

Now fathom this: According to the American Fertility Association, the chances of conceiving in one cycle from the age of 27 to 30 drops dramatically to 20-30%, and by the age of 40, falls down to 5%. But still, the brass tacks of the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in the US reveal that a total of 104,644 births to women in the age group 40-44 were registered in the year 2005 alongwith 6,546 to 45- year-old women and older. Now that’s some ray of hope!
