K. B. Ganapathy: What do you want, Mr. Yeddyurappa? Men worship sun rising, not sun setting
If at all Yeddyurappa had a plan in place to form a Regional Party, as it was rumoured, after quitting BJP, he should have approached other political parties only at the appropriate time, read election time, for alliance and not right away, even before quitting the party. By doing this he would not only be closing his future options for alliance but also losing his bargaining power in sharing of seats. And another more serious issue is that now on, BJP High Command would always look at Yeddyurappa and his moves with greater suspicion. And finally let me recall here what the Roman General Pompey said on losing to his political and military rival Julius Caesar: Alas! Men worship sun rising, not sun setting. Read On

Sri Sri Sri Ravishankar Guruji: Homework for Happiness
First, learn to laugh at the problems and do not be afraid of failures in life. When can you solve a problem? When you take it as a challenge. When you take something as a problem, you are part of the problem, not the solution. When you take something as a challenge, then you become part of the solution. If you laugh at whatever happens to you, then you have achieved something very profound in your life because laughter will give you strength to manage any situation. Read On

Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem: J. K. Grounds: A Few Suggestions
Someone may point out here that I am emphasizing this because I am myself on the way to becoming a senior citizen very soon. But I am not very eager to seek any concessions here in a hurry although, thanks to my prematurely grey hair, every time I have stood in a queue, some kind soul has always made way for me or pointed out that I can skip the queue altogether as a senior citizen! This is just one instance but I shall write sometime very soon about the joys that come out of premature greying! Read On

T. J. S. George: Politicians play Games instead of calling in Professionals
Ultimately, the Chief Ministers too are political animals with ulterior motives. They want to abuse their Police powers as comprehensively as the Central Government has been abusing its CBI - IB powers. That Police officers openly form associations on the basis of party loyalties may be a speciality of Kerala. But in other States too they are ready to please their political masters for return benefits. In the process, counter - terrorism becomes — like education, road development, agriculture, spectrum auction and everything else in our country — an extension of politics, instead of the professional task it ought to be, conceived and administered by professionals. It's a win - win situation for politicians, but it's lose - lose for the country. Read On

K. B. Ganapathy: B. S. Yeddyurappa’s Battle for Survival
Look at the Congress and JD (S). They do everything legal or otherwise to protect their leaders — whether it is a sex scandal, corruption or black money in Swiss Bank. In case of Yeddyurappa it looks, after serving BJP and RSS for 40 years he has realised that the very party he worked for and helped to come to power for the first time in the South, has literally disowned him at the most testing period of his political career. A clear case of “Et tu brute”. Being at the threshold of 70, what future awaits this much - hounded old man, only time will tell. Read On
