Flying Donkey: Hole In The Middle
http://flying-donkey.blogspot.com/2007/11/hole-in-middle.html
Saturday, November 03, 2007. Hole In The Middle. Today’s corporation can be compared to the old feudal system. At the very top sits the senior management, responsible for analyzing the landscape and defining the strategy of the firm. Below this level is the middle management whose main job is reporting to the senior management. The solution to this structural issue within a corporation can be found in the political solution to fiefdoms. Just as fiefdoms were replaced by a cadre of mercenary civil ser...

Flying Donkey: December 2005

Friday, December 02, 2005. Visions of a Messiah - Part I. Fall twice, get up thrice. You only have to get up one more time than you fall to succeed , said the Messiah absent-mindedly as he took a bite out of the apple. What happens if you are really hurt and just can’t get up? What if you break your leg? Doctors say he can never walk, persisted Sammy. Neel was the neighbor’s 23 year old son. He was a horse polo player and showed great promise. Couple of years ago, he had broken his neck after...That was ...

Thursday, February 23, 2006. Light Hearted Conversations of Amor Sing. Leered Amor Sing as he fixed his gaze on the 36DD of Maxima Chudri. Naheen Amorjee, I'm on a diet. Quivered the sultry siren with a coy smile. Aaj Kal kaam thoda slow hai, moti ho gayee hoon. When I am in shootings, I maintain myself. Bolbachchan jee se baat kara doon? Tab to Cocka Cola peeyogi? Asked a concerned Mr. Sing, licking the slow trickle of Banarsi Paan off his bulbous lips. Demured the virginal Ms. Chudri. Replied Mr. B...

Flying Donkey: November 2005

Wednesday, November 30, 2005. In defense of Pakistan. As ideas go Pakistan is a great one. Talk about the. Land of the pure". Now, let me explain why I call it an idea. By gosh, by now there's probably no pure-bred left who doesn't have a bit of a Greek, Turk, Persian, Mongol and god knows what in him. All this resulted in a culture that had no affinity for. Posted by Nachiketa at 5:07 PM. Links to this post. Was Nehru Bad for India? Correct answer - a and b. What does this leader do? Ii) He becomes a le...

Flying Donkey: Long Live Pakistan!
http://flying-donkey.blogspot.com/2006/04/long-live-pakistan.html
Sunday, April 02, 2006. Everyday bad news trickles in from Pakistan. Balochistan is up in arms and the North West Frontier Province is witnessing intense fighting on a daily basis. To the east, Sindh is increasingly disaffected. This cannot be good news for India. We don't want a strong and belligerent enemy on our western borders, but we don't want a fragmented and crumbling state either. India was cleaved into two and there are still people (I used to be one of them) who dream about a united India....

Tuesday, January 31, 2006. H1B - Slave By Choice. Thy treasures of gold Are dim with the blood of the hearts thou hast sold; Thy home may be lovely, but round it I hear the crack of the whip, and the footsteps of fear." - Lydia Marie Child. Ten years ago, I followed the voluntary exodus of well-educated and ambitious young Indians who left India for America by the thousands every year. H1-B was the magic word that was on everyones tongue. Land of opportunity! Slowly and steadily, we started spreading our...

Flying Donkey: The Great Indian Market Crash of 2006
http://flying-donkey.blogspot.com/2006/03/great-indian-market-crash-of-2006.html
Friday, March 17, 2006. The Great Indian Market Crash of 2006. The BSE is trading at more than 21 times its Price to Earning ratio. In simple terms, it will take an investor more than 21 years to recover the cost of his investment, not taking growth into account. This is obviously very simplistic argument, but you get the drift. To give you a perspective, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is trading around 22 times. Then why is the market not correcting? One word - PROPAGANDA. They organize inv...
