ഞാന് അവളോട് ചോദിച്ചു, "ഈ ഭൂമിയിലുള്ള മണല്തരികളോളം ഞാന് നിന്നെ സ്നേഹിക്ക്യുന്നു . നീ എന്നെ അതില് ഒരു തരിയോളമെങ്കിലും തിരിച്ചു സ്നേഹിക്ക്യുന്നുണ്ടോ??"
അവള് പറഞ്ഞു, "ഇല്ല.. "
കുറച്ചു നാളുകല്കു ശേഷം, മണല് തരികളില് ചവിട്ടി നിന്നുകൊണ്ടു , അവള് എന്നോട് ചോദിച്ചു, " എന്നോട് അല്പമെങ്കിലും സ്നേഹമുണ്ടെങ്കില്, എനിക്ക്യ് അമ്പിളിമാമനെ പിടിച്ചു തരോ??"
എന്നിട്ടും ഞാന് ഇറങ്ങി, എന്റെ മണല് തരികളെല്ലാം ചാക്കില് കെട്ടി, അമ്പിളിമാമനെ പിടിക്ക്യാനായി, അവള്ക്കുവേണ്ടി...
അമ്പിളിമാമന് ഏതാണെന്നോ "അവളെ മറക്കുക എന്ന്.."

Neo-Capitalism ??
Is US defining a new era of NEO-CAPITALISM ?
Focusing on some changes happening in the US laws in last 1 year, I could find that
1) US taking away the tax holidays given to companies doing business in India and other countries.
2) Restrictions on outsourcing laws.
3) Restricting number of H1B visas.
4) President even giving a wake-up call to US students that "Go to school or you be left out compared to Indian/Chinese students".
I cannot prevent myself from quoting his words as given below.
Obama's words
"Even with the good schools, we've got to pick up the pace, because the world has gotten competitive. The Chinese, the Indians, they're coming at us and they're coming at us hard, and they're hungry, and they're really buckling down.
And they watch - their kids watch a lot less TV than our kids do, play a lot fewer video games, they're in the classroom a lot longer.
So here's the bottom line. We've got to improve, we've got to step up our game. While the average public school is actually doing a reasonably good job... we are falling behind when it comes to math; our kids are falling behind when it comes to science...
We used to be head and shoulders above other countries when it came to education. We aren't anymore. We're sort of in the middle of the pack now among wealthy, advanced, industrialised countries."
I felt proud, not when an American President said the above, but for the Indian students working harder. And the analysis came from the head of a nation, closely monitoring other nations with sophisticated analyzing tools.
Is US getting away from their CAPITALISM, or they started understanding that CAPITALISM holds good for the most powerful nation only, and now they fear that they will be no more the supreme power ?
Capitalism is a social process, in which the person who spends the Capital have to generate MAXIMUM profit out of it, by whatever means. Hence any US multinationals find, Outsourcing as an option to increase their profits. Putting restriction on this front clearly indicates a country cannot solely depend on profit-hungry capatalists, if they want all the classes other than capitalists to be promoted in the society.
CAPITALISTS will definitely look for a high-productive low-paid Indian than an American, to make more profit. This made US president to go for the warning to US kids, who spend more on Video Games and TV than school, compared to Indians ?.
Later even by restricting US laws might not be able to prevent US companies getting hard-working Indian/Chinese kids. Hence in short, CAPITALISM gives the scope for only the SURVIVAL for CAPITALISTS.
