My ignorance: How to tackle it?
![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jFPqR4FLG14/TLb-oqBwzkI/AAAAAAAAAMw/EfIXuvd_v5A/s400/commonwealth+games.bmp)
Instance 1: Is rugby a part of commonwealth games? Before I could say I don’t know and present my ignorance in a platter to the other person, a colleague of mine replied "no its not". I thanked god for saving me of the embarrassment in front of a customer.
Instance 2: How would US have fared in the commonwealth games? What do you think? I said I have no clue. Still think about it, give it a wild guess. I said I don’t know may be average. I heard a burst of laughter from the other side. You don’t even know this. US is not even a part of common wealth games. I just smiled at my ignorance.
That night I thought about it and below are some random thoughts:
• Why do I end up presenting myself as so ignorant in front of others?
• Where do I go wrong, Is it actually so bad?
• Do I understand the importance of being updated?
• I do but...i don’t have the time ...for anything else other than my work and my son
• Is this plea that I don’t get time just an excuse
• Do I really make an effort to keep myself updated? I do it at times, but then tend to lose out on the daily dose
I realized there is no point in thinking about all this. It time to do something about it. First thing – Rugby is a part of commonwealth games. Its Rugby sevens – made up of a team of seven players instead of usual 15. I quickly double checked on Google and sent an email to my customer to that effect. This was the source of some relief.
Now checked about Common wealth games - The Commonwealth of Nations, normally referred to as the Commonwealth and previously known as the British Commonwealth, is an intergovernmental organization of fifty-four independent member states. All but three of these countries were formerly part of the British Empire. Post 2010, the next Commonwealth games are to be held in Glasgow, Scotland in 2014.
But, this does not solve it in anyway. I understand that there is no doubt that I have limited time and honestly this is not an excuse. But still, in case there is a will, I could definitely be better updated of things around me rather than just being ignorant, oblivious and the likes.
So, here’s the plan. Every week, I would update my blog with what all I have read in an effort to keep myself updated. Sounds like a plan?...Well let’s see till when can I take this forward.
Do read to ensure that you don’t end up being embarrassed for ignorance. Awareness is cure to blindness!!

In the middle of night
Twinkling at the sky above
Wanting to share my world with you
And be given your love
You are so special to me
You made into something new
Thinking of you, missing you
I want to be with you
I want to be your sun
Will shine when day is done
Not sure If I could someday ask
Will you let me be the one?

Words With You

You are the shining star
Twinkling away so far
Still don’t know why
To see you, I always try
Though far
Twinkling away so far
Still don’t know why
To see you, I always try
Though far
I am always there with you
Our relation so pure and true
Don’t know how to convey
There’s a lot that I say
But, When you are there
Not a word can I share
Come close to me
Our relation so pure and true
Don’t know how to convey
There’s a lot that I say
But, When you are there
Not a word can I share
Come close to me
Share your thoughts and more
My Dear, I will listen for sure
You are so special
Without you I feel terrible
Why? You might never know
And, I might never show
I know what I mean to you
I promise to be together
In every storm and every weather
This moment this time
Might never come again
Still want to stop you
Even though in vain
My Dear, I will listen for sure
You are so special

With You

As the wind breezes past
That’s the feeling I don’t want to last
Looking at you, holding your hand
That’s the life I want to spend
Your smile every morning
Makes my day bright like sunshine
Together – word that makes me smile
Takes me up that extra mile
Fragrance as you pass by
Fill those colors in the sky
Though, I might never say
For you I would forever stay

My thoughts Random and Aloof
Add life to meaningless words
Honest feelings in my heart
To fly like birds
What I tell myself
My desires about you my dear
My loneliness those weak moments
What is it that I fear?
How I see my love for you
My dreams – what’s in there?
What does silence mean
When do I shed that tear?
My Thoughts My Strength
To make it through
They say never die
Need I ask why

Alone
![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jFPqR4FLG14/So1mz-pD8YI/AAAAAAAAAE0/zm-r2mrhwjA/s400/CA4DQBMH.jpg)
What is missing in me?
There is no one from whom I need space
There is no one who provides solace
Why don’t I deserve anybody?
Never thought life can be this
The song without magic
The love without a kiss
Care is what I really miss
Alone on the road
There’s lot more that I deserve
At the end.. it’s just the curve
Be it this or that mode

Silence
![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jFPqR4FLG14/SoU-IHQJbpI/AAAAAAAAAEs/QB-6nZ76WEU/s400/images%5B4%5D.jpg)
Silence is the desert with miles of sand
Silence is a ship sailing in quiet sea
Silence is the indication of a storm
You never know where this is coming from.
Silence is when I am hiding it
Though silence might say it all
Silence can be unreasonable
It can have many reasons.
Silence is as beautiful as a kiss
Silence is as scary as a dark empty road
Silence will be there when I leave
You might take a while to believe.

Words to Myself
![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jFPqR4FLG14/SniFR2PyBAI/AAAAAAAAAEc/edwyhReEB_U/s400/images%5B3%5D.jpg)
You are not the end of the road,
But all ways lead to you
I will be fine if you are not there
You are the one who brightens my day
I can always go ahead without you
You are my inspiration and smile
I don’t need anyone I can be with me
I talk to you all the time
Today when you want to go, I don’t care
My eyes search for you everywhere
You might think this is not true
Somewhere, something will bring me back to you.

My love

My love for you is like an ocean
The more you move into it
The deeper it gets
My love for you is like lyrics of a song
Even if the music is away
Magic of words still remain
My love is like the shelter
No matter what the storm of time
Always provides comfort and solace
My love for you is the silence
Though quiet but my eyes say it
My love for you is just the care
You might move ahead in life
But I will always be there

UNME
When you look at me with your amazing smile
I can see the shine of your face on mine
When you hold my hand with yours
I can feel your softness touching my heart
When you take me into your arms
I realize that it’s the best place to be

I wish to put all in words that I intend
Those words which are the beginning
Which I know have no end

When you take me into your arms
I realize that it’s the best place to be

You are a dream shining bright
Just cant move you from my sight
You might be away from me
Find yourself in every inch of me
My eyes always say I care
You know I will always be there

Budget 2009-10 : Good content, Lousy Packaging
![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jFPqR4FLG14/SlOb1bkjBKI/AAAAAAAAADM/tdPjysyXrfo/s400/images%5B1%5D.jpg)
As the Finance Minister presented the Budget for the fiscal year 2009-10, I went through on the CNBC’s website in the office and was kind of hoping for some big ticket announcements like increase in FDI in Insurance sector, APAs in the field of Transfer Pricing etc. Nothing of that sort turned up and I was kind of disappointed. Considering the fact that a Stable government has come to power and it shall not have to bow down to the demands of the left front and other coalition partners, this government should have made bold measures. I thought that this was going to be the government with a strong spine but I was wrong.
After attending the Budget discussion organized by KPMG and listening to Mr Swaminathan Iyer - leading economists and consulting editor of the TOI and ET Now, I realized why would this government even care for such measures. It already has the winning formula which are funds for National Rural Employment Guarantee Program and Loan waiver. This seems more like an election year Budget. Hence as Mr. Swami puts it “This Budget as they have termed is the Aam Aadmi budget is more out of compulsion than out of conviction”
How will the government fund the gap between the revenue and the expenditure? The most common answer is borrowing. There is one common pool from which both the government and the others borrow. If the government borrows the entire 400,000 crores from this pool then there is hardly anything left for the others. This understanding led the markets to react negatively. However, later this was clarified that government would borrow an amount close to 200,000 crores from this common pool and the rest shall be “monetized” i.e printing of more currency notes which in long term leads to inflation and hike in interest rates. I am not sure what is the way out here!!!
For the silence with regard to disinvestment, FDI…Mr. Swami mentioned, “one should not err on the side of Modesty”. He mentioned, “This is a delicious period – anything that government gives away can be justified on the economic grounds”
Overall as Mr. Swami puts it, this budget has a good content, lousy packaging and bad presentation. The content is good as it seems to be a decent effort made by the Finance minister to make India move ahead in difficult times but when it comes to presentation its was poor. The budget contained that the fiscal deficit shall be reduced to 5.5 percent next year but it for some reason was not a part of Fin Min’s speech. The government's plan with regard to borrowing was not not made clear in the Fin Min speech. Hence the Budget was silent and spoke loudly about wrong things.

A Special Gift
![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jFPqR4FLG14/SkPTPA4-4yI/AAAAAAAAACM/IXA1Iegtut0/s200/design_exterior%5B1%5D.jpg)
"You have dream…… Protect it only for one person.. that’s You!"
A friend of mine who is very special got a wonderful small BMW model for me and the abovementioned quote is what my friend wants me to always remember. I was so over whelmed by the fact that my friend actually thought about it and took the effort for looking for the BMW Lifestyle and buying this gift for me.
For me, its a dream to some day be able to earn enough to buy a BMW. I will buy the same only from what I have earned. That I believe would be a gift that I will give to myself.
Please don’t get this opinion that since I am going to buy a BMW, I know everything about it. Well, all I know is that I will buy it some day. But now I see a BMW everyday in my bedroom, I thought it would be a good idea to actually learn some facts about the BMW 5 series that I want to buy, which are…..
BMW – 5 series – Move with Utmost elegance
Top speed – 242 Km/hr;
Tank Capacity – 70 ml;
6 cylinder Engine delivers excellent fuel efficiency;
Mirror Glass is Blue tainted.
After the above technical data, I have a couple of line dedicated to this special friend:
Relation that we share
There is nothing to which I can compare
I want to whisper in your ear
You will always be special my dear.
Thanks so much!!

Still I Will

You may not want to listen
Still I will talk to you
You may not look at me
Still my eyes will search for you
You may not want to meet me
Still I will come to see you
You may want to cry alone
Still I will be there for you
You may not see my heart’s core
Still I will care for you
I know you will never come
Still I will always wait for you
