A Joke About Noah's Second Ark And The Real Noah's 2nd Ark

2017-12-27T21:28:00.002+05:30

From the net, By Anonymous: "In the year 2004, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the United States, and said, "Once again, the planet has become wicked and over-populated and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save two of every living thing along with a few good humans."

He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, "You have six months to build the Ark before I will start the ceaseless rain for 40 days and 40 nights".

Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard, but no ark.

Noah", He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?"

"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah. "But things have changed. I needed a building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system. My neighbors claim that I've violated the neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height limitations.

We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision. Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I argued that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.

Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls. But no go!

When I started gathering the animals, I got sued by an animal rights group. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. As well, they argued the accommodation was too restrictive and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space. Then the EPA ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood.

I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew.Also, the trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience.

To make matters worse, the IRS seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species.

So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least ten years for me to finish this Ark.."

Suddenly, the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean, You're not going to destroy the world?".

"No," said the Lord. "The government beat me to it."

Hope you liked the joke and the fictitious Noah's Second Ark narration...

However, please note that there will really be a Noah's 2nd Ark - read The Coming of Noah's 2nd Ark available on Amazon. Click this link to know more.

The Coming of Noah's 2nd Ark - Next Gen Sc-fi Thriller

2017-11-29T21:53:00.002+05:30

This sci-fi thriller available on Amazon and pothi.com covers a great topic- the global warming & climate change. By seeing the title, The Coming of Noah's 2nd Ark, I thought it's a religious book. However, the subtitle explained it.

Everybody wants to see our mother Nature in awesome shape as long as we live here. But if we don't stop global warming, we'll have to face Noah's 2nd Ark - that's a clear message the book gives!

If some set points in Earth's temperature map are crossed, then global warming may go beyond our control and there won't be a Plan B for survival! Climate change will then wreak havoc and it'll be the man-made apocalypse that'll be in store for the world.

Another interesting point is the description of a new world order and the different alliance groups the Nations make in case of a global catastrophe. We haven't learned anything from the 2nd world war.

After going through the book, Coming of Noah's 2nd Ark- Apocalypse & Hyperspace Jumping, we suddenly realize that it's not simple fiction, but it has some prophetic elements - and a touch of prediction of severe dangers lurking in the skies. let's try to prevent that situation coming on us because it'll be a never-ending nightmare! Now what to do to avoid it? Thankfully Noah's 2nd Ark has the answers too!

The exciting space romance and a light-ray of hope give us immense relaxation amidst those lurking dangers. Never read a science fiction this passionate and thought-provoking.

How to Effectively Motivate Your Contractors or Temporary Field Staff

2017-11-17T13:50:00.001+05:30

If you are a small business owner, this discussion will benefit you to improve the job proficiency of your contingent workforce, that is, the independent contract employees. The trick here is to motivate your temporary field staff or the contractors, so they give the maximum output and achieve the best results.

Convince them the freedom and profitability possible through contract jobs. Tell them that it’s a great option to work for an already established company that guarantees their work, and also gives them great flexibility in choosing their task lists. If possible, give them the dream option of independently growing their business by owning your franchise.

The following tips can bring out the best in your contractor:

Assessment and Feedback

Appreciate a job well done, and correct them when the expected standard is not obtained. Rather than bossing around or blaming abruptly, convince the person that the job can be done differently and in a better way. He or she will be happy to learn a new technology from a person with positive attitude.

Create Trust and Motivate

Show them that you care for them to build a good relationship. For that good communication is essential. The staff members should feel that you have a genuine interest in their family, interests, and career plans etc. Invite them to social gatherings like team lunches, tea party and business seminars along with your own permanent employees. This will help to develop a bond and it’s highly likely that they may take up repeat work.

Proper Briefing

Some motivational speakers from your HR dept should first conduct a meeting with the contractors to highlight the importance of your company’s mission, your values, quality assurance, and how important you treat your customers. Your technicians can also share some trade job tips concerning your business services; may it be landscaping, plumbing, snow removal, HVAC and pest control etc.

Set Expectations without Ambiguity

After giving the briefing about your mission, clients, and work culture, you should provide the contractors with clear-cut instructions and information about the context of the particular task they are undertaking. Never assume things- as both the contractor and your company are new to each other, take time to educate them regarding the quality of work expected. Brief them clearly about your competency standards and how precisely you measure the quality of a task.

Never Be Late to Pay Your Contractors

Be transparent in paying the contractors. On time payments, even for tryouts, on par with industry standards is a must for contractor retention and goodwill.

Remember, contractors can act as word of mouth marketing representatives for your small business. They can make or break your reputation in front of your customers. If your contractors continue to give poor output, it’ll eventually lead to unhappy customers and may affect your business reputation.

Global Warming & We

2016-09-10T21:38:00.000+05:30

The Ganges will soon be reduced to a seasonal river…

Reports say the great river Ganges in India (Ganges to India is more or less like Nile to Egypt) is going to be reduced to a seasonal river because of the glacier melting effect on the Himalayas due to global warming! … Doesn't it ring a bell somewhere?

That is just one of many expected consequences that Global warming may force on our climate and ecosystem. The scientific studies have predicted more epidemics, coastal flooding, droughts, forest fires, disappearances of several species of plants and animals etc. - just to enumerate a few.

The Nobel winner world body of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), at its 43rd Session (Nairobi, Kenya, 11 - 13 April 2016), decided to submit a Special Report in 2018 on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways. It’s aimed at strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty, according to IPCC website.

IPCC’s report: "Climate Change 2007: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability," published in Brussels on 6 April 2007 summarised that a growing impact was happening to nature and the flora and fauna as Earth's temperature rose degree by degree.

The world's climate scientists have also reported unequivocally that the Earth's climate system is increasingly heating up. The high rate at which the Greenland ice cap (in the arctic region) is melting away triggering Earth quakes as pieces of ice several cubic kilometres in size break off is clear evidence (this is a first time happening in the history of Earth).

The heating effects are strongly visible in the melting of snow and ice, rising global mean sea level, widespread changes in precipitation amounts, ocean salinity and wind patterns. The overheating of Earth’s atmosphere is also responsible for aspects of extreme weather including droughts, heat waves and the intensity of tropical cyclones.

The Scientists caution that the effects of climate change are rampant throughout the World. A massive change is on the go across the globe and in Earth’s atmosphere, it is reported, that is affecting not nature alone, but the lives and homes of millions of people spread across different countries.

Devastating changes are noticed from the highest mountains to the world in the ocean bed and are steadily causing extinction for parts of Earth's rich biodiversity. As far as human beings are concerned, these alterations in climate are mostly hazardous to people who live near to sea shore and those who are already suffering from drought, flooding and poverty. Many of these effects had been known previously and the IPCC’s comprehensive report gathered together and analyzed hundreds of published research papers on the subject.

According to IPCC reports, temperatures are sure to rise faster in the next decades than they did during the same time span in the last half of the 20^th century and it will follow with catastrophic consequences.

The scientists and researchers are pinning the cause directly on pollution and human greenhouse gas emissions.

Is it too late to prevent these catastrophic effects on our future generations? If we show some real sense and willpower to take concrete steps, then we can reduce its impact on our lives…In fact, all the nations in the world will have to consolidate their actions towards preventing global warming and preservation of our environment.

There are also individual contributions that everybody can do to reduce global warming, and thereby stop climate changes. Patrick Gonzalez, a Nature Conservancy climate scientist who worked for UN had remarked that climate change threatened natural communities and human well-being; each person could make a difference because one small positive act multiplied millions of times would produce immense benefits.

Patrick pointed out simple actions that all of us could take which collectively might greatly contribute for a better and greener Earth. His tips included: advocating teleconferences instead of flying, less use of automobiles, more usage of recycled and energy-saving products, planting more trees, using public transportation in and between cities etc.

Let’s use cleaner (bio-fuel is an option), more efficient vehicles and reduce driving: one gallon of gas burned creates 20 pounds of CO2. At all government levels, an efficient energy policy should be developed moving away from fossil fuels. We can replace light bulbs with low-voltage compact fluorescents and buy renewable energy, like wind and solar generated and also discipline ourselves with reduced use of air conditioners and room heaters.

....And start doing these things today itself!

If CO2 emissions can be reduced to a great extent, the IPCC report estimated, the atmosphere could be stabilized at a much lower level of greenhouse effect than it was forecast then. But, the bad effects of global warming will remain here for a very long time, the IPCC said, because of the inertia of the atmosphere and oceans and the hundred or more years of persistence of the greenhouse gases.

So let us first start from our own courtyard…our simple and determined efforts will surely inspire many others and collectively we can save our good Earth and ourselves!

Please remember that it’s a now-or-never type situation we are facing now.

So folks, wait not! Let’s do our part, START DOING it this very moment...

Turn to the epics for ideas on cloning, regaining virginity or becoming an immortal

2016-09-10T21:16:00.001+05:30

A great treasure trove of hypotheses exists in the Mahabharata and other epics from ancient Indian literature that may lead to mind boggling scientific discoveries.

Everybody remembers Dolly, the first sheep produced by cloning. Now it is an obsession among the scientists to go for human cloning, but as per the epics, even five thousand years ago there were human clones lived in ancient India! There were two ‘acharyas’ (teachers)- one was Kripacharya, son of sage Sharadwan and the other was Dronacharya, son of sage Bharadwaj – both were born of one parent only (so it is cloning!), according to the Mahabharata epic.

It’s great to see the wonderful imaginations with a specific scientific edge emanated from people who lived more than thousands of years ago. The scientific researchers have to churn out the Ramayana and the Mahabharata epics with due reverence and then we will be surprised! The churning will deliver the ‘Amrita’ (Nectar), the panacea for all our health issues.

Just to enumerate a few points of importance from the epics, first let us consider the theory of immortality. There are already seven immortal beings described in the epics, who will live forever as long as the world lasts. They are Ashwatama, Mahabali, Veda Vyasa, Hanuman, Vibhishan, Kripacharya and Parasu Ram.

It will now be too immature to say but cloning could eventually lead to the creation of immortals in the near future by constantly replacing old cells and organs with new cloned ones!

Reflect for a while on the ‘Mritha Sanjeevani’ plant which had resuscitated Lakshmana, the brother of Lord Rama and also about the divine drink, ‘Amrita’ which was also supposed to impart immortality.

Another field of research is that of cosmetics and body care. The sage Parasara after having sexual intercourse with the girl named ‘Matsya Gandi’ (fish smelling) had changed her into ‘Kasturi Gandi’ (musk smelling) and also restored her virginity (even after giving birth to a child!)

Then there comes the queen, Panchali who got a boon from Lord Shiva that she would be able to keep her youthful vigour and beauty even though she had to live with five husbands!

Chew upon the story of the sex change operation done by ‘Thumburu Gandharva’ on Shikandini, the daughter of Panchala king wherein she had been converted into Shikandi, a male.

The examples of cloning, immortality, virginity and body care are just a few superficial ideas. There are many more things in the depths of the great epics which the scientific, social and medical experts should dig out, and then there may come many incredible discoveries that will solve all our modern-day health issues.

Social Media Marketing

Because of the widespread popularity of social media among the common public today, any business can be greatly enhanced by active social media participation.

Our strategy is simple and straightforward, that is, identifying people who are interested in your business and located in the geographical region where your business has coverage, and then spreading the news about you into that relevant audience circle. Your followers will be steadily increased and many of them could become possible clients.

The daily posts and interactions with other social media users boost the business prospects of the company in front of its existing customers and future clients.

First, the social media accounts are created for the clients, including a professional profile, and then relevant posts are published on a daily basis, in addition to 1 or 2 blog articles/fortnightly.

One normally gets more responses from within the Google Plus circles, but sometimes greater engagement comes from extended circles also. This is important as Google+ activities increase search engine optimization of your website.

The result of the SMM activities can be measured through Google analytics or by any other software to calculate the traffic gained.

The green building concept of Sahyadri is most appropriate to Kottayam’s landscape, which is bordered by the mighty Western Ghats on the east and the Vembanad Lake and lush paddy fields of Kuttanad on the west. That is why the Sahyadri Towers attains an outstanding and striking personality among the rest.

Page -3

Other Theme Options:

As Kottayam is bordered by the Western Ghats on the east and the Vembanad Lake and lush paddy fields of Kuttanad on the west, we can think of a theme of hills, trees- spices/plantations/paddy etc., and water.
Another concept can be of a fort, as the word Kottayam is originated from kotta (fort) + akam (inside) =Kottakam = Kottayam. And we can also think about Kottayam’s relatively new title as India’s first Mural City.

The phenomenal power of the human mind to easily read mispelled words!

Medical Tourism Industry and Some Important Global Conferences in 2013

2013-04-02T13:42:00.002+05:30

Medical Tourism

Medical tourism, also called health tourism and wellness tourism, can be defined as people movement from industrialized nations (especially from the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, Western Europe, Australia, and The Middle East) to less developed areas of the world for undergoing affordable medical, dental, and surgical procedures.

By the year 2022, tourism and healthcare will have become a defining global industry, a WTO report on medical tourism said. Total size of the medical tourism market reportedly reached $100bn as of December 2012. The greatest factors that favor medical tourism are affordability (cost efficiency), availability (wait time ratio), specialization and quality of treatment.

Several companies and organizations are involved in the international medical tourism sector. Some of these active players in the health tourism field are: dedicated medical tourism providers; private and state medical trusts; diagnostics centres and clinics; rehabilitation centres; health resorts; consultancy, service and insurance companies; specialized travel operators; airline representatives; and, flag carriers, private air companies and air ambulances.

Upcoming conferences

IMTEC 2013, the International Medical Travel Exhibition and Conference forum will be arranging a meeting for the global medical travel (health travel) industry to meet together, do business, network and formulate best practice under one roof during March 22-23, 2013 at Grimaldi Forum, Monaco.

Another medical tourism related conference, 2013 CMTR European Medical Tourism Research Symposium, will be held during April 26-27, 2013 at Heidelberg, Germany. The symposium will be open to all interested stakeholders in the emerging global industry of medical tourism.

The CMTR website also said its annual conference will be co-locating with the 4^th Annual Meditour Conference during June 5-6, 2013 at Hyatt Regency - Orange County, California, United States of America (Anaheim- near the Disneyland resort).

It is a well known fact that the robust Indian healthcare industry is in a phenomenal expansion mode and the country is considered as a leading promoter of medical tourism. To this effect, The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) will be organizing an International Conference and Exhibition on Health Tourism on April 19 & 20, 2013 at Chennai Trade Centre, Chennai.

Doomsday in Dec 2012? Does NASA Predict Total Blackout in December?

2012-11-29T14:51:00.002+05:30

Of late, many false posts are being published on Facebook regarding some so-called NASA predictions about total blackout on Earth towards the end of Dec 2012. Here is a sample post that first came on Facebook on Sept. 14, 2012 and frequently getting published thereafter:

"US scientists (of NASA) predict total darkness on planet earth for 3 days from Dec 22 2012. It is NOT the end of the world, it is just an alignment of the Universe, where the Sun and the earth will align for the first time. All planets are expected to align in a straight line as a result of which there could be some natural calamities on Earth. The earth will shift from the current third dimension to zero dimension, then shift to the 4th dimension. During this transition, the entire Universe will face a big change, and we will see an entire brand new world. The 3 days blackout is predicted to happen on Dec 22, 23, 24, 2012.... So do good be good live for the present enjoy life."

I have gone through a genuine article published on About.com that confirmed that NASA has not predicted anything as spread in the rumor above. Phrases such as — "total blackout of planet," "alignment of the universe," "shift from the current third dimension to zero dimension," etc. are quite meaningless and nonsense.

"alignment of the universe," - this phrase as quoted in the above false post may be referring to an yearly occurrence of the passing of the sun across the approximate center of our Milky-Way galaxy on Dec. 21, 2012 (the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere). This event as normally occurs in every year doesn't cause any bad impacts or blackouts on earth or in our solar planetary system.

All those false predictions about Doomsday-2012 also revolve around the finding of a giant black hole near the center of our galaxy. People simply predict that this super-massive black hole may end up in swallowing many stars, including our Sun and its planets.

Lot of changes are happening daily to our ever expanding Universe. As such, many of those events are capable of wreaking havoc on the precious life and Eco system on the earth, which is comparatively a small object moving along with supernovas and other jumbo celestial objects in the Universe. So, in fact, any day, even today, can be a doomsday - it need not to be exactly in Dec 2012. In general, everything has a life period - one day, our Sun also will finish burning its atomic fuel and that'll be the natural end of life on earth and the destruction of our Solar system. But, well ahead of that normal death, man's own makings like the pollution and global warming may end up in calling in advance the Doomsday!

So, be a good person and do good things to our mother Earth and its other inhabitants (Live & Let Live), not only on those predicted Doomsday's in Dec 2012, but on every other days also - nobody can foretell when is your doomsday!

Use Sustainable Energy to Let Our Mother Earth Live Up to Her Full Potential

2012-09-01T10:32:00.000+05:30

Sustainable energy can be broadly defined as that form of energy which is produced by utilizing natural resources in a sustainable manner. Abusive usage of resources today will deprive the future generations of their right to use nature’s wealth to meet their energy needs.

Rather than fully dependent on fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas, we have to find ways to utilize alternative energy sources. Nuclear power, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal power, hydroelectricity and tidal power etc. are examples of renewable energy technologies that can create sustainable energy, also known as clean energy or green energy. The sustainable energy is termed as green as it protects the environment from long-term damages or negative impact caused by unsustainable energy utilization.

Burning of fossil fuels create CO2 and other pollutants which cause global warming and climate changes. The climate changes and melting of polar ice impose widespread destruction to our eco system.

Efficient utilization of energy is another important factor to support the concept of sustainable energy. We will have to develop new technologies to improve the present-day energy efficiency so as to minimize the consumption of available resources.

Sustainable Energy for All - The United Nations Secretary General had launched an initiative to promote the use of sustainable or renewable energy around the world with a vision to provide sustainable energy to everybody by 2030.

All countries in the world should therefore adhere to certain principles and regulations to encourage the production of sustainable energy. This is essential to protect our mother earth and its resources for the good of future generations.

After the discovery of God particle, Higgs- the genius, truly deserves a Nobel Prize

2012-07-12T09:51:00.001+05:30

In a great discovery in physics, the CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear Research) scientists were successful in finding out a sub-atomic particle almost consistent with the Higgs boson alias God particle, believed to be a crucial building block that led to the formation of the universe, the media said.

When Higgs – then a 34 year-old physicist at Edinburgh University – first introduced a radical concept that an invisible field (God particle) strewn across space gave mass to the building blocks of the universe, the theory was ridiculed by many scientists. His critics laughed at him for failing to grasp the basic principles of physics!

Now where are those critics- the mediocre minds who couldn’t grasp the genius in Higgs? Please don’t attack somebody who may come up with strange theories because the universe is infinite, and what science knows about it is not even one percentage of the whole thing!

Albert Einstein had rightly said that great spirits will have to face harsh opposition from mediocre minds - This is exactly the case with Higgs. Now that his theory is found to be genuine, Higgs, the genius, truly deserves a Nobel Prize.

The porn clip Karnataka ministers were watching are now available on Internet

2012-02-09T17:50:00.000+05:30

Do you know what is the talk of Bangalore city today?

Everybody is now searching for the porn clip the three Karnataka ministers were watching during the assembly session.

Porn DVD shop owners in the city say they don’t have a copy of the sex video but will get it soon as the public demand is very high. They are sure that it will become a blockbuster. Sex scandals that make the headlines generally end up earning them huge profits, they said. Last time hit was a video involving Swami Nityananda and a Tamil movie actress, according to these illegal shop keepers.

The ministers were caught watching the blue film on their mobile phones while attending the assembly session and subsequently forced to quit their ministerial post.

Media reported that someone working in "public interest" had already uploaded the clip on the internet. Now many are searching for the hot clip, which some reports say originated from Kerala.

Christian belief and marxism

2012-02-05T11:18:00.002+05:30

Marxist party has found a new method to malign Christian belief.

Marxists don't believe in religion and so they may not be knowing the divine aspect of religion and the solace people get in putting their faith in God, a superhuman entity.God is the creator and controller of this universe and he has also the power to destroy the entire universe.

Christians see Jesus Christ as the true son of God almighty who sacrificed his life to redeem mankind from sin. He came into life three days after death through crucifixion. Jesus' resurrection is proof that he was not an ordinary human being. According to Christian belief, Jesus is also expected to come back during the end of this world to carry out judgement of human and all other souls to decide whether they will go to heaven or hell.

During his life time, Jesus had the offer to lead a rebellion against Roman empire and some groups of people even thought that they can use the divine powers of Jesus to fight against the Kingdom. But they were utterly mistaken as Jesus was not a political leader. Jesus was the son of God and came into the world to warn mankind about God and his kingdom where only good souls can enter.He was a religious teacher and preached how to live a morally good life on earth so that your soul will not be thrown into hell fire.

We have to look into recent remarks of Marxist party leaders about Jesus in this scenario. Then one can understand the utter foolishness, ego and prejudice of this earthly politicians. They are comparing Jesus, the immortal son of God almighty, with Marx and other mortal human beings!

If not controlled now, tomorrow these new Marxian thinkers may compare Lord Krishna or Prophet Muhammad with their polit bureau leaders!

All religions and their faith in God should not be challenged. Otherwise evil will take control of our world. The world exists because of the grace of God almighty. We humans are but dust compared to the creator of this universe. Don't play with religious avatars for your silly political gains, lest you will be annihilated...

You can now earn Facebook shares!

2012-02-02T16:19:00.005+05:30

Facebook has decided to issue IPO (initial public offering of shares) in the equity market, open to all. All are now awaiting the Facebook share offer.

No introduction is required for Facebook which has now become an unavoidable factor in the everyday life of people around the world, young and old alike, after just eight years of its launch at Harvard University.

Facebook is now based in Menlo Park, Calif and may list its stocks (Facebook shares) on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market with the code word, ‘FB’ for facebook shares or equities. It is rumoured that Facebook plans to raise around 5 to 10 billion dollars which will eclipse the previous high of an internet IPO of $1.9 billion raised by Google Inc. in 2004.

Things like how much it intends to raise from the stock market through Facebook IPO, what it plans to do with the money and details on the company's financial performance and future growth prospects, will be revealed as and when the internet giant files its mandatory documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

But one thing is confirmed now that Facebook will issue the much anticipated IPO and after it files the papers, it will only be a wait of 3 to 4 months maximum to grab your Facebook shares.

With the IPO share offer, Facebook with its 845 million users has decided to expand further as it faces challenges from competitors like Google which recently launched its popular social network, Google+. The computer game, Angry Birds, that has record number of players the world over will soon be launched in Facebook.

So, get ready for the great opportunity!

Today's breaking news: Supreme Court Cancels all 2G Licenses

2012-02-02T14:19:00.001+05:30

In a significant rule on the ongoing 2G spectrum scam, the Supreme Court today (2 Feb) cancelled all 122 telecom licences allotted under the 2G spectrum on or after January 10, 2008, ascertaining that these licenses were granted in an arbitrary and unconstitutional manner.

The apex court observed that 85 out of the 122 licences were outside the eligibility criteria for allocation. The verdict further said that telecom regulator TRAI will make new guidelines for the fresh issue of new licenses in two months.

The cancelled licenses include that of Videocon (21), Uninor (22), Idea (9), Tata Teleservices (3), Swan Telecom (13) and Loop (21). There is also a 5 crore penalty each on Uninor, Swan Telecom and Tata Tele, while Loop, S-Tel, Allianz and Sistema Shyam will have to pay a fine of 50 lakhs.

Commenting on the ruling, TRAI Chairman JS Sarma said that he did not expect disruption of facilities or services to the customers. He added that TRAI would now follow the auction method to allot new licences. He also hinted that TRAI would now start consultation process with telecom companies.

The SC ruling evoked mixed reactions among lawyers. HP Ranina, corporate tax lawyer, said that this decision will shake up the whole of corporate India, not only telecom companies. Lawyer Majid Menon agrees, saying that those companies who were not even involved in the scam will have to suffer.

While maintain that the SC should have refrained from such a move, SC lawyer Ram Jethmalani says that the political implication of the verdict is that the current government will have to resign and not continue even for a day.

Meanwhile, the SC has deferred the Chidambaram case to Trial Court which will take the decision on Saturday, 4 Feb. So there is still no clarity on whether he will be charged as a co-accused or even about his role. Advocate Ranina says that this verdict will now put Chidambaram on tenterhooks because it means that there is something to wait for on Saturday.

The government, however, still maintains that there was nothing wrong with their policy, and that only implementation was flawed. Therefore, this time round they will ensure complete transparency in the issue process, sources said.
