Satyam shivam sundaram !!

I had seen an ad sometime back which said that the power of one is the power to do something, anything. And it had the picture of Mahatma Gandhi and his followers at the famous Dandi march. I think it was for the whisky brand Johny Walker.
I have seen the power of it, but alas in the most negative sense I have dreamt of. As one man’s lies has had the potency to rattle so many people, companies and lives.


A few days back, one of the top four Indian software companies, Satyam, reported a huge scam. It was the confession of one man Mr. Raju, which rocked the company and the nation. And unfortunately, the company is called Satyam (truth in Sanskrit)
One man’s greed (I don’t know if it was mistake, though it sounds impractical for a man of his stature) has disgraced the whole country, has spoiled the reputation of an entire industry and country. And not to mention the 53000 employees and millions of share holders who are shattered.


He has ruined the reputation of a sector that was carefully built over the last two decades.
They say troubles never come alone. I guess after recession and stock market crash, this scam was the only thing that this country needed to lower the already down morale of the nation. Come on God, we have had enough, please help us salvage the economy, both global and Indian. Please please help.
