Recession, Delhi 6 and me.. I am not participating…
>> Saturday, April 11, 2009
With all the talk about recession, things are bound to get gloomy, right? Wrong! In a recent survey conducted across 17 nations, India topped the list as the most optimistic country despite the present economic crisis, beating wealthier nations like Japan, UK and France.
Certainly.. i wouldn’t participate in recession.. simply because i would keep my optimism alive. Logically, I am optimistic simply because this is a cyclical event. The recession can't last forever, more over it up to use to consider it to be an opportunity or a hurdle.
Last week i was watching the movie “Delhi 6”, good one. It has a imaginary “black monkey” that everyone blames their misdeeds or problems to.
Recession is like this black monkey.. every where i hear, “it because of recession, we took this action”, its because of recession , this year we are not participating…
Corporate lords , have taken this opportunity to trim businesses, reduce salaries, cut manpower, and moreover create a panic situation in the organisation… great .. but its seems like the “black monkey”.
In any case, what is recession proof… kids will always go to school, you will always take bath and use you favourite soap, you would eat the same food, you will take the same medicines, you will do the same for entertainment, you will see the same rush at the malls , you will buy the same clothes,You will use the same vehicle to go to office.. the demand in the markets will remain.. then why press the panic button.
