Satyam. -Sathyameve Jeyethey

I really dont know whose thought is this. But hats off to that Satyam employee.


JUST ANOTHER DIMENSION TO LOOK AT LIFE... MAKES A HUGE IMPACT. TRUTHFULNESS APART, JUST READ ON... Dear All, I (Satyam Employee) am deputed at client location and came across a very interesting conversation in cafeteria yesterday. One of my co-worker, also deputed with the same client through some lesser known two room company, mustered guts to ask me sarcastically in front of entire team, "So, Satyam is gone! What are you guys planning to do now?" In normal circumstances, I have a habit to not to reply to lose talks, but in front of entire team.... I thought I need to fix this guy's thought process. I asked him, as my military training has imbibed in me the habit to fight till last breadth, "Who says Satyam is gone when I am very much alive here and committed to create value on behalf of my company?". He shot back, "Hello Mr., your chairman has resigned, you guys are facing financial turbulence and you still have a face to say that Satyam is not gone!" At this juncture, I thought of replying to this guy in his own language. I asked him, "Tell me, what will you do and where will you go if our country India was not there?" He was not prepared for this level of thought and asked back, "What a stupid question, How can India be gone, it is a country?" I asked him back, "Country! What makes a country? Land? Economy? Our Prime Minister? Our President? Our Geography? Or the PEOPLE? If our PM resigns, will you say India is gone? If our economy faces a slowdown, will you say India is gone? But yes, if the people of a country are lost for any reason, we will say that country has no meaning. Who cares of vast land of Antarctica today which has just one permanent resident, Father Georgy? Which country does it belongs to? Why does not it has any government? Why does not it has any economy? Or, how many countries were there when humans used to hunt for food in pre-historic times? Countries, Wealth, Infrastructures and booming economies are nothing but creations of efforts of PEOPLE, and they do not have any existance on their own. And the final blow was, "When one man can create Satyam as an organization of 53,000 people, why not 53,000 committed people can rebuild one SATYAM?"

Cricket Vs India

If Cricket is a religion, Sachin is the god was the old story, now they are going to build a temple for Dhoni in Ranchi. It sounds crazy, but there is something which we need to see about the diehard cricket fans in India before we laugh at them. What makes Indians to fall in love with cricket? I asked this question to many people, Why do you love cricket?, Many told me,” I don’t know, its nice”. Some told,” My grandfather watched, My father watches and I too do”. May be the later makes some sense. But whatever the reason is, Cricket is like Hemoglobin, like Platelets, Cant be removed from most of the Indians. The passion just dissolved with the blood.

But what are the impacts of other games because of this? A lot actually. If a mother gives importance only to the first child, obviously the second child will be weak enough even to walk. Mark the word, Mother. I am not blaming the people. That’s their own rights to watch and encourage any game as they like. But Government should not do that. All the games are equal to Govt. Govt gave crores and crores to Dhoni and Yuvraj for 20-20 Games and considerably they gave nothing to Anand, Viswanath. We should not forget that, Anand is a world champion.

I bet, How many of you know Bindra, Vijay before Olympics? But I can again bet, govt and media are keenly watching budding cricket players. There is no point of blaming Hockey team for losing in Olympics qualification match. Because we gave nothing to the Hockey players compared to cricketers. Remember Indian hockey team won 8 Gold medals. Indian cricket won the world cup once.

When Indian hockey team won the Asia Cup, Indian cricket team won the 20-20 World cup. How much millions did cricketers got from govt and how much paisa did hockey players got from Govt.

Again, Is Really Indian govt taking care of budding atheletes, foot ballers etc.? The answer is a clear no. Then no wonder India is struggling for medals in Olympics.

Cricket will be taken care by Indian people. If Dhoni fails to enter super six, then he get some brick bats from people. So Indian govt, You please concentrate on other sports.
