Professional Rivalry
Joseph in the old testament is a modal for all professionals. Joseph and his brothers will be sent to graze their cattle and other jobs in their farm – their profession. Joseph was hated by his brothers because he witnessed the very wicked deeds of them and they knew that it had been reported to their father. Its a fact that if you are in the right path, you will have rivalries in your professional field.
Professional Excellency
He was sold to Egyptian master. Quick and trustworthy, Joseph soon became his master’s personal attendant. He was next entrusted with the superintendence of his master’s house, a most extensive and responsible charge, such as was unusual in large Egyptian households. With God’s blessing, all things, “both at home and in the field”, became so prosperous under Joseph’s management that his master trusted him implicitly – a matter of professional excellency.
Be Sincere and faithfull
While thus discharging with perfect success his manifold duties, Joseph was often brought in contact with the lady of the house. Oftentimes she noticed the youthful and handsome Hebrew overseer, and carried away by passion, she repeatedly tempted him to commit adultery with her, but he refused. She tried to persuade him forcefully, by catching him. He ran leaving her overcoat on which she was catching. Now she accused Joseph that he tried to persuade her. Joseph was sent to prison. Two years he had to be there. Jospeh trusted in God and God intervened. Joseph was able to explain the dream of the Pharaoh. He was released from prison and was raised to the rank of keeper of the royal seal, invested him with an authority second only to that of the throne, bestowed on him the Egyptian name of Zaphenath-paneah (“God spoke, and he came into life”).
Conclusion
Trust in God. Follow him. Do your duty, day by day. Do it bravely come what may. God will do wonders for you. Even though you may have to be in prison for two years! He will do wonders which you can not even Imagine Even.

A starnge and evil  reports:

In a bid to redefine Draconian, the Commission on Rights and Welfare of Women and Children feels that nothing lesser than a fine of Rs 10,000 or three months simple’ imprisonment deserves to be slapped on the expectant father of a third child. The recommendation is part of the measures intended to encourage population planning for well-being and children’s development. 

The Kerala Women’s Code Bill 2011 maintains that violation of family norms will be deemed a legal disqualification and parents will not be eligible to receive any benefits from government. It insists on that religious and political outfits should not be allowed to discourage population planning and any such effort on their part should be censured by the governor.

 Please see the approximate Population density of different countries.

India                                  360
Monaco                        16500
Vatican City                    800
Maldives                         1046
Baharain                         1213
Mauritius                          635

In the Manorama News today I saw a discussion regarding this talk.
One of the main participant who was supporting this rule from the govt. was telling that the population growth of Hindus is low compared to Muslims.
He was also telling that othors are communal, since they are against this rule.
But I feel the statement ‘the population growth of Hindus is low compared to Muslims’ itself is from his communal thoughts.

This Saturday evening I attended a marriage evening party – party on the day before wedding.  It was the marriage of a Orthodox church follower. When the priests came, there were nearly 30 minutes of prayer. There was no liquor party. The rituals seem to be pre defined. The prayer really touched me. I doubt that Catholics are the only people who give liquor party at home. Many of our wedding ceremonies do not have anything to do with our Catholic belief. Its just a matter of show and money power. I really doubt if Jesus and Mary were invited in our Marriage functions.

India, the republic, is now on sale. Participating in the auction is a group of powerful individuals, corporate houses, lobbyists, bureaucrats and journalists. As per CBI enquiry in 2g spectrum, two politicians were arrested, A Raja and KaniMozhi. What about others?
Just before the 2G spectrum allocation scam became breaking news, the Income-Tax department was busy tapping the phones of Niira Radia, a lobbyist whose clients, the Tatas and Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd, have interests in several key sectors such as telecom, petroleum and natural gas. (http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?268071)
I think it is pretty notable that Ambani was not as frank and candid as Tata before the PAC.

Does Anna Hazare’s strike changes the attention of common people from them, the real culprits?
Regarding the agitation by Anna Hazare, I am not sure about to support Hazare or not.
I feel, many supports Hazare blindly without knowing what is Lokpal Bill and the intention of this strike?

I remember that once I read that RSS is behind these fights. There can be political and other business intensions. Especially the real culprits want to change the attention of common people and the Govt. (powerful individuals, corporate houses, lobbyists, bureaucrats and journalists).

Is there any need for a new agency to remove corruption?
The opposition parties forced the govt to initiate PAC and JPC enquiry on 2G scams?
Many want to live by this. We have laws and agencies to catch corruption. But all these agencies are becoming corrupted again. So this new agency is also a means of new corruption and power in future.

Also this unelected agency becomes powerful than the elected govt is a kind of fascism. In the Ralegan Siddhi, the self sustained village which was an initiative of Anna Hazar, there is no elected bodies and panchayaths.

Also the central Govt has made a revised Lokpal bill.
What are the demands of Jan Lokpal Bill, which is not included in the Govt’s bill?
India is one of the biggest democratic countries in the world. Does the Jan Lokpal bill be a threat to Indian democracy? Is giving widespread powers to an unelected body is a ‘threat to democracy’?
All the world countries are in very serious economical crisis. During this time do we need to make unnecessary fights against the govt, without any pointed aim?
Is it just a strike to say ‘protest against corruption’?
Instead, they should fight against specific causes and force the Govt to take necessary actions against corruption and to bring truth.
eg: Ask the govt. to make clear cut inquiry against common wealth games corruption
or 2g spectrum corruption and force the govt to take steps.

Who is sponsoring Anna Hazare’s strikes? How much money is spent for the strike? You can see the arrangements and food delivered at the venue. How the strike by Baba Ramdev came in and faded away? Does the corporate/political/Journalists lobby is behind the strikes?
Why does Anna Hazare doesn’t want to include NGOs under Lokpal?
It is important to note that:
Arunthathi Roy accused Hazare’s aide activist Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia of receiving $400,000 from the Ford Foundation for their trust, Kabir. Arundhati alleged that contributors to the India Against Corruption campaign include Indian companies and foundations that own aluminum plants, build ports and SEZs, and politicians who run financial empires that run into thousands of crores of rupees.
see this news : http://news.oneindia.in/2011/08/22/arundhati-roy-attacks-anna-hazare-jan-lokpal-protest.html
See this article in deepika: http://malayalam.deepikaglobal.com/cat11.asp?ccode=Cat11
The Radia tape also says the part of Medias behind the corruptions.
http://www.deccanherald.com/content/116306/radia-tapes-scandal-media.html
Is the Media supporting Anna Hazare to fight against the Indian Govt to change the attention of the people from the real players of this corruption?
Radia’s conversations show how even cabinet berths can be decided by this select oligarchy. Her interface with discredited (now former) telecom minister A. Raja, DMK mp Kanimozhi and Ranjan Bhattacharya, the foster son-in-law of former prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, shows how she successfully lobbied for several cabinet berths. The transcripts suggest that journalists Vir Sanghvi and Barkha Dutt also lobbied for Raja with the Congress party.
Barkha Dutt is associated with NDTV and the Hindustan times where as Vir Sanghvi is associated with HT Media. HT Media Limited is an India-based company. It publishes Hindustan Times, an English daily, and Mint, a business paper daily except on Sunday.

There was a news that Ms. Aruna Roy and her fellow activists in the National Campaign for People’s Right to Information (NCPRI) have prepared an alternate version of the Lokpal bill, which will be presented to parliament’s standing committee.
