South Sudan- the newest nation in the world...

By -

  South Sudan is now the newest country in the world. It is to be the 193rd country recognized by the United Nations and 54th UN member from the African continent (probably by the mid July,2011). The country is oil-rich as well as under developed. It has a large swamp region formed by the river White Nile which is one of the most fertile landscapes available in that part of Africa. It is also a new entry for the list of poorest countries.
  There were celebrations all around the city of Juba, the capital of South Sudan. The new flag for the nation was hoisted and the song “South Sudan Oyee” which is the national anthem, was sung.  South Sudanese citizens grouped together in thousands to rejoice at the birth of their country. U.N secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, former US Secretary of state Colin Powell, president of Uganda Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and president of Sudan Omar al-Bashir are some of the noted world leaders who attended the independence celebrations. Organizers felt the turn up was larger than they had planned.
   The ethnic group of people from South Sudan battled two civilian wars for nearly six decades and as many as 2 million people were been killed during the wars over the past two decades. Later a peace deal made in 2005, paved way for the independence of South Sudan. The president of Sudan seems to be an unpopular figure in this region of Africa and there were ill-sentenced slogans on him in the ceremony. Diplomats believe a new conflict over the international borders is potentially to occur between South Sudan and the northern Sudan.

Superiors vs Inferiors...

To, All the inhabitants of this world... Yes... Nature is wonderful... There are reasons......   There are plenty of species living in harmony with one another (of course among them one is exceptional) in this same world. Wherever you go, you'd find a neighbourhood offered to you by nature. It's up to you to engage them in a way that may please you.    The one very basic scheme that is been subjected upon all the beings of this world is the 'Survival of the Fittest', which means living beings with more strength, prowess, deadly skills, etc. predominantly lead their life as they wish than those so-called inferior beings. But still those so-called inferior living beings do exist and astonishingly their count is comparable (or more ) with that of those superiors .This is because nature has a number of cyclic processes that happen always for the well being of both the categories (inferiors and superiors).   Even though living beings are categorized in tho...

Aramm - The government official behind me

Watched the movie Aramm - and felt the story close to my heart. The story was weaved around a government officer, having a mission of rescuing a little girl from a deep pit, dug for a futile search of water. She had a lot of people to handle like the girl’s parents, the public, MLA, Minister, media and her own staff. Pressure around her was tremendously built with all of their opinions, disapprovals, ideas, emotional responses, etc. Yet, she was supposed to think straight and win the situation. Else someone dies. When my mother brought home such stories, I really never understood the magnitude and the intensity of the situations she would have just faced. All I knew was that, my mother was always expected to be late for the dinner.   Like every other child in the neighborhood, I would like to play in the evenings with my friends. But my mother sent me to tuition as otherwise I would be all alone since she would not be back at home to attend me. During elections, my father take...

Lay offs...

By -
The organization doesn't know the impact on the employee when he is just said to walk away from the job one day due to many reasons for which he is not directly responsible! He might have a number of commitments & plans which he must attend to with his income like loans, etc. Now where he will go when his salary is stopped suddenly. In case of recessions he might think of a backup plan and make his position ready expecting a down fall. Here the organization did not give him time except the notice period of a few days.. Let us think for what he is removed from the job. For working so well and getting continuous good grades? If so he is costing much for the company than his peers and he shall be removed! Or for getting low grades for which the inefficiencies of the employees is not only accountable as we all know in this country people play politics even to fetch milk for the infants? So as an employee you are confused to the point that your seat is volatile whether you work or ...
