THE SONG OF THE SENSIBLE
Why we show our backs to it, I can understand
I understand the meaning of blood
The value of money I understand
What is for and what is against, I can understand
I even understand this
We are scared to be able to understand, and remain silent.
I can understand the meaning of remaining quiet
When we speak we speak with thinking and understanding
The freedom to speak
Its meaning, I can understand
For a pathetic and measly employment
To sell our freedom, the meaning of that I can understand
But what can we do
When unemployment
Rises faster than the injustice
The dangers of freedom and unemployment, I understand
We narrowly escape the dangers of terror
I can understand
Why we escape and get saved, this too I can understand.
We remain disappointed and are pained by the Almighty if he does not just remain an imagination
We remain disappointed and are pained by the Government why it does not understand
We remain disappointed and pained by the common man because it succumbs to a herd mentality.
We remain pained by the pain of the entire world
I can understand
But how much we remain pained by this pain this too
I can understand
That opposition is the desired step to take
I can understand
At every step we make compromising understandings
I can understand
We make deep commitments for this understanding
Every deep commitment we present in ambiguous language
I can understand
The reason for this ambiguous language also
I understand.
Incidently, we do not consider ourselves
Less than anyone, I can understand
Every black to white
And white to black we are capable of converting
We are capable of creating a storm in a tea cup
If we want we can start a revolution also
If the Government is weak and the common man understanding
But I can understand
That there is nothing that we can do
Why there is nothing that we can do
This too I can understand.
Satyam-Truth be damned ?
If a stock dives 55 percent, is it time to go bargain hunting?
Absolutely not! At least that was the case with India’s Satyam Computer Services after it shocked investors on Wednesday by disclosing most of its profits were cooked up.
The disclosure came after the company’s botched attempt last month to buy two construction firms partly owned by its founders, which sent its shares diving 55 percent in one session by angry investors.
Chairman Ramalinga Raju said: “It was like riding a tiger, not knowing how to get off without being eaten.”
The shares tumbled nearly 80 percent, roiling investor confidence in India and bringing an undignified end to the illustrious career of one of the country’s top businessmen.
The accounting fraud which analysts instantly dubbed as “India’s Enron”, battered confidence in Indian companies and cast a shadow on the once-booming outsourcing industry.
The biggest Indian corporate scandal in memory threatens future foreign investment flows into Asia’s third-largest economy, already facing slowdown pangs.
The scandal rakes up a number of issues not to mention how profits could have been inflated for several years without anyone noticing. Knock Knock. Independent directors? Anyone listening?
And all this from a company which won an award for corporate governance just three months ago.
