NPAs of PSU Banks now at alarming levels due to high interest regime by the Govt. and RBI

Author- Manoj Kumar Abhimanyu

I posted some months back about the PSU Banks dilapidated state because of surmounting NPAs. Can you imagine this figure? It's more than Rs. 2 Lakh Crore, if you take together all PSU Bank's total NPAs and every quarter this figure is getting bigger and bigger. Recently I learnt from the news papers that out of this figure Corporate bad debts are far greater than the bad debts from the rural and agricultural sectors. It's around 3.6% of the total Assets of the banks. You know banks operate on a very tight margin due to stiff competition with the other banks operating in the same line of business. Further due to high interest rate regime by RBI under the pressure of the Central Government to tame inflation, Indian GDP has suffered badly and most of the industrial sectors have suffered setback due to their unmanageable debts that they had taken in the past in the hope that they would be able to grow at a continuous rate as the demand cycle will keep on moving smoothly. But due to high interest rate, all sectors suffered badly and it had an spiral effect on all producers and consumers of the industrial sector as one is consumer to the other. As a result many big corporates also started defaulting their loans taken from Banks and these sums were quite huge. Banks restructured these loans several times, still there were not much improvement in bad debts. Their health is so bad that the last quarterly results of all PSU banks and some of the private sector banks showed their bottom lines either coming into red or are highly squeezed than before something that we witnessed after a very long time, thanks to our think tank sitting in the Center. Your take please...

Some interesting moments during my train journey

Author- Manoj Kumar Abhimanyu

Recently met a group of travelers in a train bound to Ajmer, a very lively group with members from teenagers to those even in their fifties, both men and women. Had a chance to interact with some of them. They were from Kolkata and were going to visit Agra. During interaction I found among them a very talkative girl, very modern, frank and outgoing. In fact she draw attention from many of the co-passengers due to her fluent English, lovely voice, frequent smoking, round naughty eyes, enchanting personality and unmatched beauty with childish innocence. We were astonished to see that she was having two kids, one of six years and other of four. She showed their photos in her mobile in which she was preparing them for schools. We did not believe it initially until we saw those photos. In fact she got married with her boy friend when she was just 18. She was a Sales Officer in some Company at Mumbai, she told. She looked so young that one boy in his early twenties who was going to accept his first job offer at Jaipur after completing his internship of Hotel Management at Singapore almost proposed her... something really interesting that I witnessed.

Atithi Dev Bhava - a noble initiative by Amir Khan

Author- Manoj Kumar Abhimanyu

You must have watched the educational ad series, "Atithi Dev Bhava" presented by Aamir Khan on Television channels. One of those ads shows a small kid peeing at a flyover, assisted by his parents and all this catches the sight of some foreign tourists moving in a car close to them.  The tourists get really shocked to see what was that happening?  Another ad shows how a woman moving in a bus throws the peels of banana from the window of the bus that fall inside the car moving parallel to the bus.  The foreign passengers sitting in the car are again disgusted to experience such a thing.

It's a good initiative but I feel like it's not intended just to show a kid there, in fact the finger is raised more towards mature adults who can not be shown on television doing the same.  But it's a shocking truth that this type of scene is very common in many parts of our country, specially in northern states of Bihar and UP. Health and Hygiene for the people living in those areas are their least priorities. It feels disgusting to those who are not frequented with these things. But those who do such things, are so habituated and shameless that they do it in full public view at roadside and at many public places. At many places on walls, you can read slogans that peeing there is strictly prohibited, still people don't spare even those places for such actions.  

However I won't blame those people squarely for all this. People remain out of their homes for long hours and it's something which can not be controlled by everyone for long intervals.  Moreover, Governments' and local bodies' apathy towards providing public toilets at optimum distances in most of the northern states in India is well known to all of us. Those who talk about the necessity of creating more and more toilets in India, before creating Temples are mocked at. Even those politicians who make statements in favour of this, only do the lip syncing, but even when they remain in power, they hardly do much in this regard. 

Well we can't be perceived as educated, well-mannered and civilized citizens in the eyes of people from other parts of the globe until we provide our people these basic necessities.  Government and local bodies need to provide clean and hygienic toilets every few meters at public places and on roads at affordable rates to the people.  Once these are provided to our people, this will automatically inculcate discipline and manners in them required for a decent life standard. Your take please..

Need of a rating system of our MLAs and MPs on a scale of -10 to 10

Author- Manoj Kumar Abhimanyu

As per unicef.org data, quoted by Harpic India today in Times of India, over 620 Million Indians start their day by defecating in the open. It's a real shame for us that even after 68 years of Independence we are not able to provide toilets to more than half of our population. I remember Kalam Sahab's quote in his books and speeches that India would be a developed nation by 2020. When I was a student of MCA, our beloved Head of department, Computer Science in L.N. Mishra Institute at Patna,  Er. Neeraj Sinha often brought with him some books of Sri Kalam in his both hands during his classes and used to give untiring lectures to us for hours on his dreams and that time it all seemed so realistic from his mouth. Well we are just 6 years away now from 2020 and now where do we stand?  

Today morning I saw a photograph on FB in which there was a lady labour who was having her few days' or a few month's old baby tied in her Sari at her back and she was in the process of putting stack of bricks over her head to take that from one place to other.  I don't know whether we should feel proud to see such a great mother.  We are often seen in the habit of clapping or praising such things if raised in public or shown on television.  However it's really painful to see that a lady with a little baby on her back is doing such hard labour that puts her along with her child on a life threatening risk, any time any accident may happen.

Yes my friends, there is nothing new in this. In fact this is also one of many bitter truths of India. A country post British era after 7 decades of freedom did not bring its people out of sheer poverty. It's ironical that this is the same country where in the name of democracy and casting votes every five years, billions of Rupees are spent.  As an estimate around 35500 Crore of Rupees will be spent on 2014 Lok Sabha elections in India.  This amount so spent for election purpose is second only to the world's richest nation, United States of America which in its last presidential elections spent around 40000 Crores of Rupees.  Our nation is also ranked 5th with regard to largest number of Billionaires in a country. 

I leave it on you to judge, how far we have moved ahead after we won freedom. Where is the 'Bharat Nirman' that is shown on Television every now and then on almost all News Channels? Would our Bhagya Vidhata sitting in Delhi and elsewhere ever speak honestly for their continuous failure to provide even the primary necessities of a dignified human life, or they would keep on beating their own hollow drums without any substance whenever the elections come near to them? How many more years we would be fooled by them?  And how long would we just remain mute spectator of all our miseries? 

Friends we have got a TRP system for the Television Programs in which these are rated on the basis of their popularity among the audiences. We also have some kind of rating of our Corporate entities and their financial instruments.  Can't we have some kind of rating for the politicians too, whether he or she is an existing MLA or MP?  The ratings would be on the basis of - What actual development works they have done in their assemblies or constituencies?  Whatever promises did they make before elections, did they fulfill after being elected? How much of their allotted funds did they honestly spend for the development of the people in their constituency/assembly?  Make a scale of -10 to 10, and give them rating so that they start fearing of poor rating for their reluctance to work. Yes, I suggest negative rating also for such people as Indian politics has gone down to unthinkable levels.  Let this debate start among the people, hope my post is read by many and become a matter of discussion among public in general and reach the ear of those politicians and policy makers too.  And yes it’s very relevant today as the Lok Sabha election is just a few weeks away from now.

74 year old fruit seller - an inspiration for many

Author- Manoj Kumar Abhimanyu

Yesterday itself when I was taking apples from the fruit seller, he first gave me a big black polythene bag to select the apples. I told him to weight 5 apples after which he was not happy and mentioned why I was taking only 5, I should take at least 1 or 2 kgs for the family. I told I live alone. He did not get satisfied with that, he thought I was just faking. He started saying, "Have a heart like me, I have brought up so many sons and daughters and to all I have fed well but you Sahab log only go for one son or daughter, a family of three. See, I am 74 years old, still I am working myself, my children are grownups, they are working, but I don't take anything from them for my living." I was not replying him anything but just feeling good from inside the way he was speaking. Probably his simplicity came out to share his ideas with me for I look very sensible to others. He is a poor fruit seller, if we don't purchase from him in good quantities, how would he take home enough Rupees to shell that out for his expenses?

Plight of common man due to price rise

Author- Manoj Kumar Abhimanyu

Yesterday when I was returning from my office, I thought of taking some vegetables and fruits from the mandi. Though now not a surprise for me, but would be very pinching for many others that all the vegetables were almost available in similar price that is Rs. 60 per Kg. Be it tomato, be it Parwal, Bheendi, Baigan..; you name the vegetable and all were in the same range. I had to take lesser quantity of vegetables only for myself as I live alone, so I had to wait till the vegetable seller finished with the lady who was probably taking her quota of vegetables for a week or so. I was silently watching, she was asking for each addition of the vegetable, how much she was to pay and whatever the seller told her, she was telling he had to reduce that by Rs. 10. It was funny for me, but not for the seller. I don't know may be his margin might have increased due to sudden spurt in prices of vegetables, but his annoyance with the lady was clear on h...is face, after all he can give her discounts up to a limit, not from his normal profit margin. Any how, after she left, I purchased tomatoes and brinjal from him. While giving me tomato, he put a small piece of tomato after the weight was done. I thought he was doing me a favor by that after being harassed by the woman who just left... hahaha. Well on a serious note, in morning newspaper today I read in Malda, villagers made a riot against the vegetable sellers looting their vegetable. But is that correct? Sometimes I feel their plight, they are poor fellows who just buy it from the whole sellers and sell that in retail. There is no fault of them for the price rise. On the other hand, consider the poor families, how they will survive in such a scenario? How will they have their food? Such things would start happening now, if the state and Center does not have any concrete plans to tame the price rise of essential commodities, sorry to say they have terribly failed in that.

Migratory birds flocking in large numbers to Bengal lakes for their breeding :D

Author- Manoj Kumar Abhimanyu

Feeling happy to read today's newspaper that many migratory birds from Siberia, Russia, Tibet and many other European and Asian regions including our Sub-Himalayas are flocking to the water bodies at Howrah and Kolkata lakes. It sends the first message that Humans still care for them as I read that every year these lakes are cleaned for them exhaustively around Diwali, the time of the arrival of migratory birds, and some islands are prepared for them artificially where they could lay their eggs safely. Consider when the newborns come out of those eggs, after the end of this winter they fly back thousands of miles with their mothers to their home land. We know that many species of birds have gone extinct due to human encroachment of their habitats and also certain other reasons including radiations coming out of the mobile towers. How ever such efforts really thrills all of us that we still have a heart for them.

The second message that this news sends to us is other State governments can learn from Bengal, as we all know that India was second home to many migratory birds since long and because of human apathy towards them, we lost their arrival in many parts of our country with the time. The way Bengali communities have preserved water bodies near their homes is an example which can be followed by others also and in the process they may contribute immensely in preserving beauty and balance of our ecosystem.

Need for an exclusive News Channel for International and Sports Contents other than Cricket

Author- Manoj Kumar Abhimanyu

Our Indian TV News Channels don't have a regular schedule of programs based on their contents.  In the race of TRP, we hardly find any different news on different channels.  You switch on different news channels and you will find same news, mostly called "Breaking News" and in this rat race all claim to make that live to their viewers ahead of others.  Sometimes what I feel that they have become so much myopic in copying others that they forget to look from the viewers perspective.  A news channel's role is to provide all kinds of news from the world both national and international.   But we mostly find on these channels, Politics and Cricket.  At the most what you can find in the name of scheduled programs are news based on crimes for example, Sansani.  The reporters of such news portray such cases as if they are the judges and they have done all the trails ahead of the courts and now the alleged should be hanged in full public view.  Thankfully some more responsible news content are coming in the form of 'Sawadhan India' and 'Crime Patrol' but still what I feel many of those too are not fully unbiased.  The other scheduled programs may be on TV shows and serials like 'Saas Bahu aur Beti". 
As a serious scanner of news I always miss other Sports news there.  Even if some Indian players won a medal on any athletic, boxing, wrestling or weight lifting event, I get the news only from the newspapers, and mostly the news channels skip such reports.  At least for sports news, Doordarshan News Channel has a time fixed for that; in half an hour we can have news from sports event around the world; there we have news on SAARC countries and other international groups also.  But international news are given complete miss by our popular news channels.  Our young generations are not able to know much about other parts of the world due to this apathy of the news channels towards international news and I sincerely feel a need of an Indian channel exclusively for International news, sports other than Cricket, diplomatic relations of India with other countries, news based on Indian progress in Science and Technology and many such things that existing News Channels are not able to give time and space.  Your views please.

Girls not safe in the four walls of their home - very disturbing trend in our society

Author- Manoj Kumar Abhimanyu

In today's The Times of India edition, I got two striking news headings - 1. Father rapes and kills teen for eloping with boy friend and 2. Techie held for raping 13-yr-old niece. Both the events are highly unfortunate and disturbing to us.

In the first incidence, her own father rapes her 4 months pregnant 17 year old daughter who got married to a boy of 19 from her own mohalla by eloping with... him some months back. They were residing in Mumbai far from their parent's home. Some how the father of the girl found out her whereabouts and reached there and tried to convince her to leave her husband and return with him to her parent's home. When she denied, he took her forcibly to a jungle and raped her there and then allowed one of his friends also to rape her after that. With the fear of the girl informing this to police, they murdered her.

In the second incidence, a Techie at Bangalore raped a girl continuously for last two years. The girl is now 13 years old. She is his wife's niece who was sent there by her parents for helping her aunt when her aunt was pregnant and taking care of her new born baby afterwards. Somehow one day his wife caught her husband red handed when he was exploiting her niece. Even after her warning to her husband, he continued to do so. He even locked his wife and did not allow her to move out. Only with the help of one of her neighbors she had the courage to report this incident to police and got his husband arrested for his heinous crime.

Well friends, don't these two events compel us to think who are these people who are doing all this? Aren't they from our own society? The father of the deceased teenager said he did it just to give her a lesson, who eloped with several boys in the past for sex. And after her rape when he feared that she will reveal that to police, he murdered her. And what kind of psyche that Techie was having who kept on molesting that small kid of 11 for next two years continuously? She was a small girl who came there to assist his wife when she was pregnant and had to deliver his baby. His wife feared that her daughter would have the same fate one day as her niece if she does not get him caught by the police. I leave this up to you to decide what is responsible for such crimes in our society which are being done by close relatives? Girls are not safe even in their father's hands.. where are we heading towards? Where is our Indian culture which we don't get tired boasting off?  

Then for us it is the easiest thing to blame law enforcing agencies or Police force for each and everything bad happening in our society. I am not discharging them from their duties. We all know their failures. At the same time we should understand their limitations as well. If the small kids in the four walls of our home are not safe, how police would come to know about all this? And my dear friends, you must be knowing, only out of 1000 cases may be less than one case is getting reported. Who will dare to report against her own father and that too if she is a small child who does not know much about this world yet? Change is required in the society itself. The mothers who remain silent even when they know that their boys and girls are being sexually abused by their fathers or other relatives, they have to come forward and let others know how they have become victims of their own. But it's not so easy. We all know how our own society thinks and looks at such girls and ladies who themselves are victims. So very few mothers dare to do this, and they just keep on tolerating all this by their husbands and other relatives.  We all are responsible for this, aren't we?? Keep your hands on your hearts and ask this question to yourself.

My observations after first innings of the ODI match between India and Australia on Nov 2, 2013

Author- Manoj Kumar Abhimanyu

No record or no player is the best in today's cricket... for last around two decades we always talked about Sachin Tendulkar and we kept him on the first position, then we had Ganguly and Dravid on second and third. While Ganguly had aggression he was never judged as a technically perfect batsman; on the other hand, Dravid was perfect in technique but lacked aggression in his shots, though he is known as Wall of Indian Cricket. But after this Tripod left the team, all the analysts were anxious what would happen now???? But the way the today's team has shaped itself, we can convincingly and proudly say that this is the strongest Indian team ever.. this is a fearless team... this team is having a very strong skipper.  More over there are few others too  in the team, who can very well lead the team in the absence of the present skipper.  This is the most confident and aggressive team. This team is full of match winners. Opposition team fears when they roar with the bat.  Be it Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina.  They are certainly the most dangerous batsmen in the world...

Belonging and Practicing a religion are two different things, let's understand!

Author- Manoj Kumar Abhimanyu

Good morning friends! Just read the article of Chetan Bhagat, my favourite columnist and writer with whom I am greatly inspired for he writes in a very simple language. Each one of his sentences are pretty clear to all of us.  He keeps his flow with the readers and his writing is not just artificial, it touches our hearts and probably that is why he is darling of millions of readers across India, specially our youth. Today's Times of India in The Times of Ideas section I read this article in which he has advocated for the need of a healthy debate on religion in our country.  Along similar lines I just want to express my views on this topic for you to have a look on and it should be taken as my attempt as a neutral writer with no intention to hurt the sentiments of any of my readers and others.  Even then if something hurts to anyone of you, I sincerely apologize. 

Ours is a country which is in making for last around 66 years after its independence, the people of which are divided under the different banners of religion. They are mostly confused with their identity when it comes for them to align with their religions with a view to have a visible difference in the way of leading their lives from the people of other religions and as prescribed by different preachers of those religions.  In my view, religion is just a practice, but we very often link it with our births. When we go to schools, our parents fill the forms and in one of the columns in the form remains the religion where these parents put their own religion for their wards.  And by that time in our early childhood we hardly know about ABC of religion.  And the same religion column that is filled in that form becomes our identity for rest of our lives.  

We often believe or better say we are made to believe that all what we could think of originates from that particular religion.  In our country, our own names are also kept by our family members so as to retain the difference between the people of different religions.  Commonly with the name of a person, we can easily identify him what religion he belongs to.  To the contrary in many countries we have seen people having different religions but their names are so identical that you would hardly be able to distinguish by their names, what religion they belong to. Sorry I too used the word 'belong to' on few occasions.  As far as my view goes, belonging and practicing are really two different things. We should practice religion and not belong to it. The moment we start belonging to a religion, there comes the problem. We start believing in something that actually does not happen. Let us try to understand this how, in the next paragraph.  

Ultimately all religions have one goal to achieve that is to become a loving and compassionate human being to coexist peacefully with all other members of this universe, in simplest of terms if I could say.  So I don't find reasons why there should be so many religions for us to choose from or we should be made to choose one from.  All religions are perceptions.  Some basic tenets have been prescribed in these religions that differentiates one from the other.  Most of the followers without understanding those things get themselves aligned with one of those, mostly by birth as a lineage from our parents.  And thus mostly all of us bear several illusions in our minds with respect to our own religions.  

If we could differentiate between belonging and practicing a religion, I think there would be an end to the religious fanaticism, one of the biggest problems that our country is facing today.  Let us collectively work towards it what ever religion we practice.  Let us understand that we all are human beings having similar kind of features, looks, voices, emotions etc. We don't need to become a Saudia or Iran.  Let us write our own scripts.  Let us be known by our nation first and then by our religions. Some times I feel, if there is a good practice in Islam, I should practice that in my life, and similarly what is good there in Hinduism, I should practice that too.  In fact we don't admit this publicly, but many of us use to do this very often knowingly or unknowingly.  This is in fact Indianisation of all our religions.  

Let us now talk about inter-religious marriages, today's youth are doing it and unlike past it is not so uncommon.  There are some second generation people also from such families.  In such families, two people from different religions have married.  Then either of the two, have to change their religions, or sometimes they practice their own religions individually and still live together under one roof with love and peace.  Further when they have their children, they have the choice to adhere to one of the two religions their parents were following.  It is not exactly a choice again.  It all depends on the family's choice.  But later on when the children are grown ups, they can have their independent views on this.  So then that becomes a practice for them.  

With these lines, I would like to stop my pen.  I hope I was able to clear the difference between belonging and practicing of a religion. I also feel that I could express to some extent to my readers that belonging to a religion is just an illusion in our minds.  However the two words are commonly used interchangeably by us.  Thanks for your patience to read my post.  If you liked please show your love for this in my blog.
