Commentary

Corporate Responsibility
Anil Shrivastava "Musafir"
Corporate responsibility and business ethics are the prime topics among the common people today. There are protests against corporate greed all over the world and they are mushrooming every day.

Humor

Running out of Excuses
Anil Shrivastava "Musafir"
Life was so simple then. We made excuses that were easily understood by our teachers without leaving any room for ambiguity. "Dog ate my homework; the alarm clock did not go off," or simply "I was sick" were short, succinct and persuasive excuses. Times have changed. Life has become much more complex now making the past excuses antiquated. Today's excuses are as complex as modern gadgets. Present day students cannot get by using short words and short sentences.

Publishers Desk

They Also Ran
Bala Prasad
This issue's "Point-Counterpoint" was about fringe political parties, so it seems appropriate to acknowledge the candidates who could have been, but did not become, presidents. It is difficult to include everyone in this distinct list, but here is who comes to mind:

American Scene

Steve Jobs
Dave Beagan
I was never a big fan of Steve Jobs. I only ever bought one Apple product, and stopped using it after a while. The so-called design genius, left me indifferent -- his products seemed stark, colorless, and practically antiseptic looking. Stories were told of Steve haranguing his employees with intimidation to make some new device even better, he pushed people to the limit to produce his vision of perfection. Stories were legendary. It was said that employees were afraid of running into Jobs in an elevator for fear they would be fired.

Essay

Gandhian Economics Jayant Pandya
"Believing as he did in non-violence, Gandhi was against the physical liquidation of the capitalists and landlords. Yet their exploitation had to end. This he believed could be done if the landlords and the capitalists acted as trustees of the poor. His doctrine of Trusteeship is designed to work in all spheres of life. Like parents acting as trustees for their children, the government should act as trustees of those who have chosen them to be their representatives in the legislative assemblies. The trustee, by its implications, meant that he is not the owner. The owner is one whose interest he is called upon to protect."

Point/Counterpoint

Tea Party is Dividing America
Anil Shrivastava

Tea Party is Not Disuniting America
Bala Prasad

Mental Exercise

Mental Exercise
David Began
Time Slice. Consider a clock face. Think of it as a circle with 12 numbers positioned around the edge of the circle. You task is to make two straight cuts all the way through the clock face dividing it into pieces so that each piece's numbers add up to the same sum. Note, the clock face could be divided into three or four pieces. Pharmacy Fakes. A pharmacist has ten bottles of pills. One of the bottles has faulty pills that weigh 6 grams instead of 5 grams. To find the defective bottle of pills, he could weight a pill from each bottle. How could he find the faulty pills by weighing just once.

Lifestyle

Precautions for Senior Citizens
Niru Prasad, MD
As we are growing older, it is very important for all of us to follow some guidelines for staying healthy. With this in mind, I have prepared some tips and guidelines since I have always believed in preventative medicine.

Perspective

You Know What Irks Me
Robert Bickmeyer
You know what irks me? � When I hear someone use the name of our Lord in vain. � People who pretend to know everything. � Why are people, who rise early when they don't have to, so proud of it?

Observations

Steve Jobs as Henry Ford?
Motor Trend
From the day Apple launched its first iMac to the day it launched its second or third iPhone, it was impossible to attend any new auto product launch from the Geneva motor show to a press conference on the latest cup holder without hearing of the influence of Steve Jobs' computers. "Apple-inspired," "iMac-inspired," "iPod-inspired" and "iPhone-inspired" automotive design was all over the place, in theoretical concepts if not in practice.

Observations

India Governance Issues
Umesh Rashmi Roahtgi
In India we give more importance to People, Party and not to Issues. Even in minutes of meetings for an issue you can see what Ms so and so said than what was discussed on issue and what were decided and action like who will do what and time frame
