కనికరించని కానుక :)

విపంచి ఆరంభానికి పూర్వం చేయు పరిక్షను పేరుగాగల

వంకర వదనం కలిగినా వయ్యారాలు పోవు ఓ వనిత  

తనకు జన్మదిన కానుకగా ఓ కమ్మని కవిత కావాలని
ఎల్లలు కల్లలూ కలలోనైనా ఎరుగని ఈ కుర్రవాడిని కోరగా

మదిలో మెదులుతున్న భావాలు బయటకు రానంటే 
కరములోని శరమువంటి కలము కదులుట కుదరదంటే
లిపిరాని లేడిపిల్లను పట్టుటకు పదాల వేటకై పరితపించి

విలపించి చివరికి నిశ్చేస్తితుడై నింగిని గాంచుచు నిలించెను

vipanchi aarambhaniki poorvam cheyu parikshanu perugaagala
vankara vadhanam kaliginaa vayyaralu povu oo vanitha

My view of a POWER sector

  

                                         

Abstract: As power is an essential commodity, with more demand investment bankers serving the rich, investors, politicians try to make their best out of it. The perspectives of investors, politicians are different but that could be served together in the process of making money and fame. Consultancies, Insurances get fed in the process. Two major issues that are overlooked 1) Process of Production 2) Responsibility towards future generations.
                                                          - - - - - - - -
  
     Power is what drives every moment and movement of this world. So this has become an essential commodity besides the famous three Food (Roti), Clothing (kapada) and House (Makaan).  As the saying in business goes "If you are afraid of commencing a business start with essentials which need small investments".  So what should a well established businessman aim at if he/she doesn't want to take much risk but can make huge investments?? The answer is simple, invest in Power Sector.

     Any production requires a source to produce and a resource/s to consume. The most consumed natural resource to produce power is so called Coal. So provided the abundance of coal any potential investor can establish the source 'a Power Plant'. What else could be a better and possible way for the government or politician/s in order to make the most out of this sector than capturing coal mines.

      Investors and politicians have their own perspectives. Former strive to manifold his/her money while the latter strive to build his/her empire (mostly dark) apart from making huge money. The common perspective in both of them is "They (most of them) don't bother the means of achieving their objectives". Investor is defined as "a powerful vampire that sucks anything that smells like money". Money is the common form of all resources, valued based on its demand, characteristics, beauty and availability. That means without resources money is merely a paper or a metal. So the strive exists for this common form "money".

     The fact and responsibility that has been overlooked is what happens if we become excessively extravagant in spending that would make our future generations resource-less? We cut trees, burn coal, produce power with an efficiency of less than 40%, build homes and use air conditioners to comfort ourselves from heat whereas we can sit under the same tree and relax, which is harmless and healthier. 

     Politicians work very hard for country's development (economic) but the only problem is the fruits of development is completely savoured by them. They use the most powerful anesthesia called "patriotism"  to capture and motivate people to feed them (for country). I happened to attend a politician's speech in Hindi that went like this "Hum Kuch Bhi Kar Rahe He Dhesh Keliye Hi Kar Rahe He... Ooo Driver Gadi Dhesh Ko Aage Badaane Keliyee Chala Raha He... Yee Security Vaale Dhesh Ki Raksha Keliyehi Kaam Kar Raha He" (whatever we are doing we are doing it for our country. Truck drivers drive to take India ahead. Security people work to protect our country).

     A good speech had a loud round of applause but I got a few questions. If so as he said "Why is the driver getting 3.5k per month and security guards much less than that, while he is getting more than a few crores per month? He roams in a chopper while drivers and security people don't even have a bicycle? I am quite sure everybody knows the answer including him.. The answer is most probably what I said "Hum Dheskeliyee Kar Rahe He Lekin Ush Kaam Ka Phal Me Khud Lelunga" (Yes we are doing everything for the country but most of the outcomes will be taken by me).

     So investors collaborate with politicians for coal to generate more and more money while in the process politicians also gain considerably. He builds a plant on his name and claims it makes the people's life brighter. But more than 90% of the power is spent on making money and 90% of villages having huge amounts of coal reserves suffer power cuts. If a forest is full of cows and goats, it is wolves and vampires job to ravage them. So as long as people awareness and moral standards are meager, plundering of people's resources is bound to happen. Our team, Engineers, Leaders all serve as a feeding system to these wolves and vampires. Investment banking, Consultancies, Insurances act as small scale intermediate consumers of this feeding system.  But only thing that bothers me is I also became a part of this feeding system. Hope I can show this world a better class of businessman in the future.

Fumbling or Firm Foundation for Future Leaders??

      I somehow happened to give an entrance for a group of top ranked Business Schools claims to be providing firm foundation for future leaders for years. Their motto could be put as "We Build Future Leaders Not Merely Managers".  I was very excited to obtain a totally unexpected and tantalizing result in the entrance but I knew it was of no use. Adding to this tantalization a Business School came up with an offer saying  "We don't wanna miss any efficient candidate affected by the misfortune in the entrance, so we consider his/her past academic record, especially we love kids and their schooling".

     That was a delightful news for me, as I was a smart and chubby kid in my school days. So provoked optimism rekindled the hope of getting a fair and a positive result. As a first hurdle to this hope, the form to be filled didn't contain all the required fields I had to fill. I sent an e-mail requesting the same query and was astonished by their spontaneity and professionalism in the response, I thought " yes it is the place that produce real professional leaders". Finally the shortlist had arrived and a momentary ray of depression sparked in my mind as I couldn't find my name. I started figuring out where I went wrong but arriving at any conclusion seemed impossible. Being confident about their e-mail-professionalism I made an e-mail again, but this time reaction time had just bounced back to infinity. I tried various e-mail ids available in their site but all of them suddenly went dead. Regaining all the positivity left in me I did a few telephone calls that were either engaged or hooked. Just an answered call in 3 days with an unsaid reply "Get lost loser I gonna cut the call".

     Recollecting the "vikramarka story" I moved forward to fill a form for some other top business school which kept the last year's portal to fill the details without any change (year of exam and a 2010 in foot note). I thought these so called busy managers wouldn't be having much time to look into minute details, I sent a request saying it was last year page, with a snap shot as an attachment. 5 days later I found that page with an updated foot note leaving the remains as it is reflecting their powers of observation and seriousness.

     In a small city called Raipur, I attended an orientation of a small and relatively low ranked B-school. At the end of the session I raised a question "I graduated from one of the best colleges in India tell me whether I should join your college if I get through by any chance?".  Reply was verily honest but surprising "Please do not join at any cost but do come, to gain some GD/PI experience".
                                                                                
     As it is said "Nothing is as it seems". My code is simple 'just make yourself at home where ever you are and "be succumb to alteration by the principles but not by the place".

An Equivocal Perspective Unveiled

     A simple question, with never ending ambiguous answers is "What do you want to do with your life?"

        
         Let me explain my part of the answer. This question is merely pertaining to intangible things that could only be felt but not be anticipated. So I welcome every aspect that comes into my life with equal respect, just to have fun, with some learning. I try filling my life with  more and more fun by avoiding less funnier aspects throughout my life. But as of now I can't say this is what gives me fun but I hope, time has a way of finding it.


       Perhaps the above argument could be well countered by the so called smart people with questions like 
1) How do you define fun? (Its not somatic or cosmetic as I said it was an intangible intrinsic feeling)
2) Doesn't your fun(aspect) change with time? (Change is what really makes it more entertaining) 
3) Don't you have a vision with a mission? (Only machines got missions unfortunately I am a stupid, simple human being surrounded by smart mechanical machines with mammoth missions.) 
4) I couldn't get what are you trying to convince here? (Thats why it was 'ambiguous' as it is always)

32 'S's all for Sleep

Let Sun Start his deScend,
Let Shiny Sky Sheathe herSelf
In a Scab of SwarthineSS,
Let a Silent Slumber Submerge
You in its Stubborn Strength
Till Sturdy Sunrise Succumbs
The Shade and Subjugates
Your Sleep  to Submission....
Suddenly a Shock from your
Subconscious memory Signals
To Shield the Simmering Sunlight
With a Soft Sheet and Says
"Be Sluggish Stupid Its Sunday".. :) :)

నారితో నావ సవారి

మంచు పడుతున్న మాపున, పడవ ఫై పయనించు
సమయమున, నా చెలి చుసిన ఆ ఓరకంటి చూపు,

జోరు వాన జడిలో తడిచి వణుకుతున్న తరుణంలో 

తనువుపై పడ్డ గోరువెచ్చని పిడుగువలె గోచరించగా 

మనసుకు నచ్చిన మగువతో, మధురమైన మంతనాలతో 

కాలం కదలక కదులుతుంటే, కలలు కమ్మిన కళ్ళను
తియ్యని తలపులలో తూలి తిమ్మిరెక్కిన తనువును
మదనతాపంలో మునిగి మత్తెక్కిన మనసును
చల్లని మెరుపువంటి చిరునవ్వు మేలుకోలపగా
ఈ వయ్యారి వలపుల వలలో, మాటల మాయలో
పరువాల పల్లకిపై ప్రనయ పంజరంలో పట్టుబడి,
తలుపులు తెరచుటకు తపన పడుతున్న తపనుని
కిరణాలు ఈ తిమిరము తొలగించవచ్చు కాని, 
పలు మార్లు ప్రయత్నించినను పలుచపడని ఈ
నిర్మలమైన ప్రేమనుగని, నడిరేయి నట్టేట నారితో
నావ సవారీ, సూర్యునికందని స్వర్గమా అని
ఆలోచిస్తూ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              (గమ్యం ఎరుగని రమ్యమైన ఈ గమనం వలె అంతం లేనిధీ ఆనందం)

మూలకారణం

పరమార్ధమును ప్రభోధించు పద్యాల పుట్టుకకు
ఉత్తమోతమమైన గ్రంధాల ఆవిర్భావమునకు
కవ్వించే కావ్యాలు, కనువిందు చేసే కళలకు
మాపున దాగిన మర్మ చేధనకై అన్వేషణలకు
నిత్య నియమాలు, నిబందనల నుండి
దేశ రాజ్యాంగ రచన వరకు కలుగుటకు
మూలకారణం ఈ ధరితిచే ఎల్లవేళలా
ద్వేషించబడే దుఃఖం అను రెండక్షరముల పదం
