Commodity called child…

The dark ages have arrived & the testimony to that is the increasing trafficking of children & the perpetrators are going Scott Commodity called child…free for want of substantial evidence. It is an irony that while many powerful nations boast of an arsenal good enough to blow over their adversaries many times over, when it comes to protecting their progeny, they seem to be woefully short of ideas, means & efforts.

When Tulasi Das, a Nepali child, was sold to a trafficker & sent to brothels in Mumbai, she didn’t have an iota of idea that she was about to enter a society devoid of dreams, hopes, future & ecstasy. She didn’t know that her only cohort for the rest of her life would be relentless agony. Yet she can take solace in the fact that she would have company in this journey into darkness.

First blood...

Bull runs, whether in Spain or at the NASDAQ, have a very predictable course of events… the excitement, the euphoria, as well as the bloodbath that follows. For quite a while, a bull-run led by PE firms is sweeping across markets, like a tsunami at the height of its ferocity. “In 2003, there were only 16 pure private equity listed entities with a daily turnover of more than $1 million & an M-cap greater than $250 million. As of 2007, these numbers have nearly doubled,” says David Blitzer, MD & Chairman, Index Committee, Standard & Poor’s.

The recent buyout offer for Bell Canada (a 127-year-old Canadian telecom operator) by a group of PE firms, for a whopping $48.5 billion is the latest crest of this wave. The offer is the biggest in the history of private equity, outshining the $45 billion acquisition of TXU Corp. by KKR & Texas Pacific Group, Blackstone’s offer of $26 billion for Hilton Hotels & a $22 billion bid for Virgin Media by Carlysle group. A result of this bull-run is overpriced offers with elephantine premiums. Take the Blackstone offer: it represents a 40% premium over Hilton’s closing price the previous day.

“They were killed because in the narrow jungle track the animal has nowhere to turn”

It is a war that is no longer subject to just scorching summers and consequently disappearing water-holes.“They were killed because in the narrow jungle track the animal has nowhere to turn” At Hajongbari village, less than 10 kms from Guwahati, a human-elephant had just happened a day back – killing two locals at the nearby Amsing reserve forest that is now being demarcated a sanctuary. “They were killed because in the narrow jungle track the animal has nowhere to turn,” says Dilip Daimari, who will now have to leave his ancestral home in the jungle, to make way for a safe home for elephants.

“Earlier, we could chase them away quite easily but with time they now stand their ground and oft en attack,” says Anil, a farmer, who has seen others’ crops destroyed by the animals. The future is ominous: there are less than 10 groups of Asiatic elephants with member count of 1,000 or more in a contiguous area, cutting down on the animal’s chances of survival in the long run, reports of an increase in population notwithstanding.
If statistics could save species, the scariest would be the one that says tropical forests that contain more than half the world’s wild species, lose 17 million hectares a year. Amsing is only one among tens of others on the planet where the elephant now stands threatened.

India needs to subtly tell China where to get off...

Yet, such hard won success once again seems to be threatened by a creeping tendency to be ‘soft ’ Sutanu Guru- Executive Editor, Business & Economywith negotiators and potential antagonists. There is the nuclear deal with the United States, where Uncle Sam is steadily moving the goalposts and trying to stifle and choke India’s strategic ambitions. There is Australia that claims that it will not supply Uranium to India even if there is a nuclear deal with Uncle Sam, because India violates international nuclear weapons control regimes. There is Pakistan that continues to mollycoddle terrorists while claiming that terror camps have been shut down. Most significantly, there is China which brazenly announces that Arunanchal Pradesh is an integral part of the Middle Kingdom, and hence refuses to give visas to people from the state.

...the new motto of tech-world

Though IBM might be promoting it as a Green initiative, the fact is that the whole Project Green of IBM targets to make a lot of money by helping the corporate data centres (suffering from energy constraints) with its high efficiency servers. According to analyst firm IDC, roughly 50 cents is spent on energy for every dollar spent on the hardware. This is expected to increase by 54% to 71 cents in the next four years.”

In such a scenario where investments towards energy conservation are increasing by the day, companies like Intel have also decided to initiate their own energy saving green projects. “Intel is taking an aggressive stance towards environmental sustainability, from the elimination of lead and a focus on greater energy efficiency of our products to fewer air emissions” says Nasser Grayeli, VP, Intel.

Well, with threat of global warming creating a ruckus, the only saviour for this seemingly dying planet seems to be these Green Technologies. And if technology companies are able to make money out of their green plans, there could be no reason for us to complain.
