Courageous,imaginative, bold and practical move. Technological reasons apart,the political returns on assuming charge of other countries’ defense is minimal.Tell me, which country has not been attacked because it has US defense system or US personnel.Protagonists of interfering in the affairs of a foreign country might argue that it is acting as a deterrent.Logic is flawed.When a country is not threatened.you assume it is because of US protection.What about North Korea vs South Korea and Japan?If a country decides to attack another country or wants to defend itself it will do so with or with out US support.What happened when Nixon sent US Enterprise into Indian ocean in 1971 during Indo-Pak.conflict?India went ahead and Bangladesh was born.What about Vietnam,Korea? US wasted lives and money.To what end?Double guessing game costs.Obama seems to think straight and his move is welcome as it will cool down tempers of jittery neighbors of the countries to which US has stopped offering military installations.Money saved could be used for social causes in US.These types of initiatives shall endear US to the world which sees US as an interfering bully right now.

4.Remember we can change nobody nor their opinions.People and things are what they are.Leave them be.(Gita)
5.Too much of attachment to anything is a curse.
6.We are born with none and shall leave alone.All relationships acquired.These are of two kinds.One is SONDHAM( relative is a poor substitute) ,which is not determined by us, namely parents, brothers and sisters and children .These can not be avoided.We must take this with a pinch of salt in that because of their special place in our existence that does not give us the right to interfere in their lives.The other is BANDHAM.These are acquired by us, like wife, profession , friends.Less interaction that would lead to our well being is better.
5.Avoid comments on others.
6.Attachment leads to desire;desire to anger, anger to imbalance, imbalance to destruction of intellect-and that leads to ruination. Be content(Gita) -
How to cook Books.
In India, as in China, two sets of accounts are kept.One for self and another for Tax authorities. How does one inflate profits and increase stock value the market?
-Inflate receivables
-Deflate the payables
-Prepare forged bank documents to show funds in reserve and cash on hand
-Form a subsidiary company in your relative’s name, acquire real estate, get government contracts,increase the co’s worth on paper( no project being started),make the company acquire the subsidiary at a higher price and manipulate what you have siphoned of in the parent company by adjusting the books of the acquired company .In addition to that ,create bogus employees on rolls, disburse salaries and have them credited in your relatives name, by resorting to bogus bank accounts.
Do not remit employee’s contribution of Provident fund to Government and siphon it off as well.
This is not a hypothetical case.IT major Sathyam has done it and Price Water House has audited the account. -
Corruption in UK.
Politicians of UK can not hold a candle to Indian politicians; nor the people of UK match the high level of people apathy.To quote an example, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu had his nominee in the central govt(federal govt)in the IT ministry.In offering Spectrum Band width allocation, Rs.60,000 crores(One $=Rupee 50) worth irregularities were found. The PM was also convinced of this.He could take no action as his party was dependent on the party the minister belonged to.But he made his displeasure known and refused to take him into the Cabinet, following recent polls. Despite the PM’s party did not need the minister’s party desparately,still he accommadated him in the same portfolio.
Tragedy is People have voted for the corrupt Minister and his party overwhelmingly.
Politicians in UK are children in corruption when compared to India and for voter apathy you can not match us. -
Muslims In Hindu Temples in India.
This is quite common in India.Many temples in South India have Muslims as Trustees of Temples.In many a temple, the right to perform some ritual like supplying flowers, organizing some festivals are left to Muslims.In the famous SriRangamtemple,Sri Rangam , first reverence is made to Thulukka Nachiar,a Muslim woman.
