Matter of Time

As the first month of the year 2009 is about to end, one wonders how fast time is going out of hand. Time is God. For each and every thing, you gotta beg time to give you some more moments. In fact, it has made a man, machine. Time is money. You lose everything once, time runs out. Not everybody feels, one should depend on destiny to do wonders in life. A second of decision can make millions or turns the story from riches to rags.

Let's evaluate the problem of terror which has spread it's tentacles all over the planet. Do you remember 9/11? The attacks on WTC or Pentagon were so well calculated as far as time is concerned. The targets were in fact acheived. Can you imagine the system that might be working in the mind of the Chief who executed such plans of terror with total precision and accuracy taking care of the time? One or the other thing happened consecutively without any hassles. It's worth imagining the things that run with accuracy.

Unemployment is at it's worst at this time. This concept was hideously emerging in 2006-07 but it gained more prominence during the early 2008. It is contagious and started spreading across the globe without thinking about the seconds or minutes. The whole world is almost without money. Each enterprise is finding itself difficult to manage even it's bare needs. Employees are regularly being axed to curb the overheads. The money spent on material or tangible items have been lessened. Don't you think it's the cycle of time that repeats itself after every five or ten years?

In late 80's, India got a major boost in form of liberlisation policies introduced in the country by the then FM-Dr. Manmohan Singh. The nation progressed in leaps and bounds. Economy had started looking optimistic, calling for immense amount of foreign investment, major takeovers, healthy employment, boost to professional degree courses, betterment in statndard of living. The dreams seemed likely to be acheived in case the economy moved in this direction.

However, late 90's showed the worst picture of one of the most popular indusrty of the nation-IT. It was during this time, the artificial boom of 90's subsided. There was a major slump in this market with the disappearence of small and medium IT companies. Companies like WIPRO,INFOSYS,TCS survived. Their teamwork and efficiency proved to help the IT aspirants. The innumerable contracts recieved by them from world over provided dreams to the working classes. The late 90's also saw a major boom in outsourcing industry that helped the would-be grads and others to get good money by providing services. This industry prospered only because it's cheap to handle everything from India. Everything is cheap--- technology, human resources, everything.

Now, we are at the verge of late 2000's, which has seen the worst tumult of the major economies after the Depression of the 1930's. It's worst in every sense. In fact, it has made the life of every human being impossible. Money is the most important need of time,not even house or food. To get a job in economic meltdown is formidable task. Experts themselves are getting fired as they don't have a slightest idea to tackle this problem. Banks are getting bankrupt, forget about the world renown companies and enterprises. The luxuries of life have come to a halt. The Christmas was sober and not much firecrackers seen on the New Year day. Everyone in the crowd is just aspiring that the worst should go with the past year and new year should bring at least some relief, if not a total relief. But, to give a frank view, it will take another couple of years to build the foundation and and another ten-twenty years to bring the whole economy to stability. It's not easy and cannot been done in matter of time. Time is critical, very much serious as the world is not only suffering from economic factors but also the internal and external factors that are beyond the reach of any particular healthy and sound state.
