Nope, I don't think there is global recession yet, you need to contract for 3 years in a row, in terms of GDP growth, so collectively, it's impossible. But then, certain industries may face a little economic pinch. The companies aren't buying, the consumers are - if countries such as India run...

I think it was a fluke! Though I am in a tough spot, between Indian and Australia; the Aussies have been winning consistently, over a period of time. India should develop its game over time - and then look to win within this period. If teams start to get intimidated by playing India, you know...

In Europe, not very likely, it's all due to senior management mismanagement. For Asia, I don't think the Indians should be affected because of the limited FDI there, most likely it's just due to minor complementary aspects of international dependencies. Even before the US/Europe Bombay Stock...

It's within their right to do so. But while it is within their right, are they morally right to do so? I think it all comes down to the kind of education your parents have inculcated within you. When you do that, it's more likely to harm your reputation and garner perceptions of your parents...

Not really no. There isn't a message at all. Unless you are trying to find a message, in which case, you should be able to find one everywhere - the strand of grass to that flange of baboons. This thread does have an end - when we just stop believing that a couple of people are constantly...

Like Akbar didn't use religion to consolidate his power. His 'Zileh Ilahi' is exemplary of how religion is normally used. Like how the Buddhists used Kushans and Ashok for their evangelical escapades in the East! It's funny how Taoism, Shinto and even Indonesian Buddhism have conformed with...

The idea here is that can you use terms as general as 'God'? While you are entitled to your faith, what about us? I am no atheist, more agnostic than atheist, but do you come to me and then start discussing 'God'? Well, firstly, it's the people with faith, 'God' is God for them, because of the...

Well, again it's a very abstract understanding. Physicians call God what they cannot theorize or explain. So, do you worship energy? What about asking this energy to grant you material wishes?! Is it then 'God'? Must it be called an 'omni-scient' entity if it doesn't even have a brain? Like...

Yes, we were single cell organism after a molecular 'soup' was heated up under constant UV, these single cell organisms start multiplying and mutated over millions of years to form new multi-cellular organisms which mutated randomly into what you see today. That said, over billions of years...

But then again, is 'God' even considered a scientific theory at all? I don't remember any biological thesis or on modern physics white papers being written and theory being mathematical represented! Why not I come up with a 'theory' without a degree? Will this be acceptable? How can we measure a...

Agreed here, these works are model works of social perfection. They are our cultural identity, which is good. If he exists, I don't think that would be a great idea - *IF* he exists. Because then, other things mentioned in literature may be considered too. That is if the pluralistic Hindu...

No, there is rigourous debate before any theory is even considered. You publish papers, you debate, spend thousands of hours studying credible evidence. You are making a big mistake by comparing a theory by a person who may not even be able to make it out of an elementary school to a theory by...

It is far easier to deny than to accept. Simply put, there is no evidence. Unlike theorized aspects of science, facts can be refuted and debated, but in the case of divinity, once you engage in robust debate, it is not possible to reach a serious consensus because, quite frankly, God/s may just...

Yes, and it's called evolution. You don't 'create' things. They reproduce by themselves. You don't direct things, they conduct their own affairs. I don't write off god's existence, but as a Hindu I want to believe in a good number of demi-Gods. But do they exist? Firstly, this hypothesis...

There is no devil for hindus. We hindus do not have a 'perfect' evil. Everything has a balance - from Ravan to Asuras (Bali being a great example) there is no evil in Hinduism. That said, I am the devil, so are you - depending on the time and circumstance.

It's called anthropology and it's pretty common. God didn't make these temples, men did. In fact, if God/s exists - he has more or less forgotten about this place.

Just finished this in my IT Project Management module. You need a proper framework before the Systems development process can be used. For instance, you could use the DSDM or the RAD approach. You would need to ensure piloting, end-user feedback and scope control etc. I suggest adding in a...

Not really, depends on people. I work because I want to, not because I need to. In the developed world, this is a core difference.

Distance and F/T are the same, for regular employers. Unless you are a F/T student at Harvard or Wharton, you really don't hold any competitive value in terms of where you are right now - F/T student at what? "Mirabai" or some unknown college, even I've never heard of it! What are you going to...

The recession will be a prolonged one for America as their external and internal debts are really high. Even if this is brought under control, there are no real jobs in the US today. An American MBA is still a sought after degree, anywhere around the world, and in Asia Pacific, an MBA is still a...
