“GST was good economics; the demonetization is not. Its economics is complex and the collateral damage is likely to far outstrip the benefits,” Basu (World Bank Chief Economist) tweeted.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama, arguably the spiritual leader of the world, in his book, ‘Becoming Enlightened’ has expansively shared his views on what makes a person virtuous or non-virtuous.
Dear Prime Minister
The announcement that Ishaat Hussain would take over as interim Chairman of TCS from Cyrus Mistry lends a quizzical twist to the emerging boardroom battle at the Tatas. Quizzical, because Ishaat Hussein and Farida Khambata were the two board directors at Tata Sons who abstained from voting Cyrus Mistry out of power at their board meeting on October 24, 2016. Giving the public the impression that Hussain might have been an ally of Mistry.
Albert Einstein – “I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong. I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
Donald Trump has been voted as the 45th President elect of USA.
NYT had given Trump just 8% chance of winning in Oct, Huffington Post had given close to 2%. Polls for ABC News suggested 61% of voters considered him unqualified to be president; only 34% said he had the right personality and temperament. Yet, Donal trumped Hillary. Whole of media came onto Trump with ruthlessness. They chose insulting the other side. In the process of spewing out self-acclaimed opinions, they lost their credibility.
The thematic and often-quoted (including by the Supreme Court of the United States) Spider-Man phrase 'with great power comes great responsibility' is widely attributed to Uncle Ben. The origins of the phrase pre-date its use in Spider-Man. In 1906, Winston Churchill said, "Where there is great power there is great responsibility". In 1817, the member of British parliament, William Lamb, is recorded saying, "the possession of great power necessarily implies great responsibility," even indicating that it was already a cultural maxim invoked toward government at the time. The sentiment is also attributed to Jesus of Nazareth in the Gospel of Luke, "Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required."
