Can India’s Gen Next really make it happen to do something like RDB (Rang De Basanti)?
16th Nov 2008,
These days, we hear lot of praises about young culture and their energy level, their fast paced life…. & in that too, mainly Indian youths is in limelight. Expectations are obviously high that they will take India to a different stage and i agree, thats not impossible. We are doing good, infact great, WE think. We are earning as much as thrice to what my father is getting even now. Our lifestyle is getting changed, from ok to good, from good to best, life couldn’t be best anymore, again WE think. ‘WE’ here refers to around 90% of peoples including my friends, colleagues, neighbours, who hardly care about whatever happening in surrounding, in society. But i don’t agree that this is best way of living life.
Sometimes it seems to me, that day is not very far, when history will repeat again and I feel very disheartened to say that its not for something good cause because the way things are shaping up since past few years, we could see INDIA again ruled by some other superpower (country) very soon, like England did it in past, but main reason to worry is that this time violence and other activities being spreaded everywhere not from someone outside India (some other country) but from insiders & this is a shameful act!!

| VENTURE CAPITALISTS INVEST IN SOMALI PIRATES |
VENTURE capitalists in New York and London are pumping millions of dollars into Somalia’s booming pirate sector.
Personnel issues are now dealt with via mentoring and third-party arbitration
The sharp-eyed investors say Indian Ocean piracy has replaced Bangladeshi t-shirt factories as the developing world’s strongest source of high-growth revenue streams.
Julian Cook, head of strategy at Porter, Pinkney and Turner (PPT), said: “The margins are very impressive. These guys can board a Chinese freighter or Saudi oil tanker and turn it around in less than a week. Usually without killing anyone.
“The staff are well-trained and they operate a structured bonus system involving the daughters of nomadic tribal chiefs and as much hallucinogenic tree bark as they can eat.
“The tax position is also very favourable given that Somalia isn’t really what you would describe as a ‘country’ with ‘laws’ and a ‘government’.”
PPT has paid £25.7 million for a 32% stake in Captain Ahmed’s Crazee Bastards with the initial tranche used for capital purchases including new speed boats, 200 yards of very strong rope and a gun the size of a cow.
The investment will also be used to establish an out-sourced personnel department to ensure the quick replacement of any colleagues shot by the Royal Navy during working hours.
Captain Ahmed will retain day-to-day management control and has also negotiated a clause allowing him to go ‘ape-shit crazee’ and shoot everyone on board up to three times a year.
