Child Marriage - A Sin

There are few things which are free of cast, religion and all other differences. One such thing is marriage. We select our life partner. We select them either by being with them are by knowing about them by some source. Marriage is a common aspect.

Is child marriage a common aspect? With technology even our marriages are growing. With the advent of internet and websites, there are many matrimony website which says us the details about life partner. Coming to the point, can you believe my words that, in some part of India the most sinful of act of child marriage is still prevailing!!! I know you all will like to close your tab because you may feel am lying something to increase my website rating. Am sorry your thought is wrong. In India, in Tamil Nadu, in kirshnagiri district the worst act of child marriage still prevails.

Before I say you about the problem I will give a brief description about this place. This is an economically, as well as educationally backward region. Most of the people here are uneducated, and am sure it’s very tough to find a graduate in this lot.I feel you have understood why the problem is there in this part of the nation. It’s worst to know that when the world is moving fast with education and other stuffs there is still a backward part where some unbearable activities still persists.
Can you believe if I say a girl who is studding in class 12 has a 10 months baby? Certainly not I suppose. Even I was like you when I saw the girl. You can say it was only one girl, but it was not so.
Oh god!!! I suffered a great shock when I saw as much as 30 such students who are married at the age of 15 and 17 and even below. Much more heart breaking news was that mostly every one had their own child.

India is a highly populated country. When it comes to Olympics we never score gold. We have just now opened our account. Why is this so? I have a strong point. It’s also because of child marriage. Yes of course I have a something to support to my point.
A girl, who was married at the age of 16, was a state level sports women. If we stop all this talents from growing not only gold we cant win even a bronze medal am sure. Don’t we have any act preventing this sinful action?
We certainly have, but then what is the use? Nothing!!! Not only this mostly no act is functioning in full flow in this sub continent. We have a lot rules and regulations but even a hand few are not know by the people. That’s the major reason for all this social evils.
Every one loves to get married. Every one wishes to have a kid but when they are kid am sure. Child marriage is the most uncultured action. Please stop it, are else you will be behind the bars. Don’t develop a handicapped society. Stop this social evil.

child trafficking day!!!

Hello readers, it’s been a long time since we exchanged our views through my blog. Hope it’s more than a month. I was bit busy all these days with my bloody exams. You know, the university where am put up at is the world’s worst one and the name of it is madras university. If you are interested in knowing more about it, see this blog, www.cricoholic.blogspot.com.

This article is certainly not about my bloody university. This topic is not related to economy too. But it has got some economic importance. I don’t know how many of you people are aware of child trafficking. I am sure not many know about this and how big this offense is.




Before getting into the topic we shall first know what is child trafficking. Child trafficking can be simply said as recruiting, transporting, abusing children for sex are for some other cause which has some monetary value.


This problem of child trafficking is gaining some importance in India now a days, just because child trafficking has already invaded our country and working at a high velocity. We are coming across many cases in our country and one among them is, RANI a 17 yr old girl form VARANASI, who was sold to 40 yr old man for Rs. 10000, and her land was taken away, when walked into the police station, there she was sexually abused.

This is just one incident in the past, this is not the only one. A boy from ORISSA who was sold for RS. 15000. He had worked in Chennai for the past 2 yrs where he had not been paid are feed properly. This is a growing problem in our nation, is it not?

How to solve this? To solve this we need the cause. Behind every case of child trafficking we can hear a sad story, those stories will have one thing in common that is poverty, ignorance, and innocence, so this is the common case in child trafficking.

If a crime is done and if the person who committed the crime claims that, he did it because, he dint know the law it will not be accepted by the court, because it’s the duty of every person to know law. If it’s so, then is it not the duty of the court and the government to impart law? I feel it is!!! But we Indians neither know the laws, are the rule that mistakes cannot be overlooked as the man who committed the crime does not know the law. Very fatal is it not?

So only way to stop all this crime is impart law to the people. You may ask me, how you’re saying imparting law will stop criminals from committing the crime. Of course it won’t stop criminals, I will tell you with an example, let’s take the case of child trafficking, in this case if the parents had known that its wrong to sell children, are if they had known that it’s illegal to make minors work they would have not sent them to work either they would have not sold them.


Economic problem of this child trafficking are,

The owners pay children a much lesser wage, some even don’t play, thus the get cheap labor, in other terms labor exploitation, if this continuous then every businessman will try doing this, where only poverty will vest in the country after some years.

Thus it’s time to join our hand together to stop child trafficking. We shall mark this day as the day of child trafficking. We shall bring up and enforce new laws and impart those laws to everyone in the country. We shall stop child trafficking.

$1trillion Economic Deal

LONDON: World leaders agreed a trillion-dollar deal on Thursday to combat the deepest economic downturn since the Great Depression.


At a G20 summit, they also signed off on plans to commission blacklists of tax havens and tighten financial rules to bring hedge funds and credit rating agencies under closer supervision.

British prime minister said that the world has come together to fight against recession not with words but also with a plan... of course he was correct here were starting our war against the economic shut down.

The world share market saw a positive outcome, with the shares of United Kingdom was up by 5%, japan gained 4.4%, and even NASDAQ gained 4%. All these increase in world share markets shows us some positive out come form this huge problem what we are facing now.


A new one trillion dollar will be created to solve the problem of great recession. The funds will be created International Monetary Fund(IMF). This will include $250 billion IMF reserve fund called Special drawing rights.

The G20 has also come out with a supporting hand for trade,with its new $250 billion financial package, for the next 2 years. In order to bring world economy to a proper track G20 injected 1.1 trillion.

The group has also plan the increase the IMF funds up to $750 billion. That is the Group has planned increase $500 billion in IMF funds. Out of which all the nations can get some support from IMF for its improvement.

With all this happenings, we can surely come out this attack. German and France has come out saying that spending wont solve this problem, only a tight financial norm can solve this issue out.

hip hip hurray!!! to RBI---ATM(Any teller machine)

Here am, with an interesting hot news for you all. We all have an account and an ATM card. Those cards are provided for us to withdraw money at any time. However the purpose of these cards were not solved in full, because having an ATM card of one bank you can not withdraw money in another bank.

It was not possible because of 2 main reasons,
1. Not all the banks were interconnected with each other, that is, one banks ATM card will not be accepted by other bank.
2. The surcharges, that is, every withdrawal will of money with some other bank will be charged considerably.
To make my point more clear, if u are a account holder of KVB and if you withdraw from INDIAN BANK you will be charged Rs.20 for Rs.10


With the above two points we were literally worried to withdraw our money from banks.
you need not feel for these reasons from now. From today(1st april 09) you can walk into any bank withdraw cash without any charges.

Some banks charged as high as Rs. 57 for every single transaction, which was then reduced by Rs. 20 by Reserve Bank of India which came into immediate effect with all banks.

RBI gave guidelines to all banks to operate free ATM all over the nation from 1st april 2009. This is a great move by RBI. We need not pay extra charges to withdraw our own money.

There might be some glitches in the beginning in withdrawal but its really a good move. On 1st April which is considered to be a new year of every accountant RBI has came out with a brilliant suggestion which will really be useful.

As often some banks have refused to agree to this free withdrawal issue, but i firmly believe that Reserve bank of India wont be partial and it will implement its decision in full flow from today( 1st April 09).From now its not Automatic Teller machine, its Any teller machine.

American president OBAMA’s dreams

I doubt whether American president has the habit of speaking while sleeping!!! Might be Mrs. OBAMA can answer it. Am sure friends after reading this article in full you will get the same doubt. However it’s my duty to appreciate his confidence that America will recover.

OBAMA has pledged to lead the nation from the disasters times to a bright future. He has been telling this since before he took the post of president, and till now nothing has changed including his speech. I don’t think all this pledging and other words won’t give change to the economy of United States of America.

Weight of the depression is not a parameter to determine the destiny of the nation claims the new American president. If so, I would request you sir, to say what will determine the nation’s destiny?


He went on adding jokes that, America will emerge stronger than it was before. I think
He forgot a point that American economy is always the weakest economy. If it had been strong depression would have not affected this much I feel.

OBAMA continued to prove that he is a good orator. He claimed Americans are not quitters. It’s their time to take charge to make a great future and on and on… he said the problem can be solved if the country comes together. I suppose money is needed here to solve the problem. That’s what all other world leaders are saying might be we all are wrong.

The new American president proved he is a good politician by blaming his predecessor. The old government failed to tap new energy sources. It would be better if this government dose something use full instead of blaming others.

He claimed that his $787 billion plan is the first step to solve this great depression. He also said if the plan is executed flawlessly it can create or save up to 3.5 million jobs. His words flawlessly makes me doubt weather will this be executed in a proper way.

On the whole I feel the American president Mr. BARACK OBAMA has unveiled his dream about his nation and nothing else. It will be really nice to see a dream come true. Especially when it’s a dream of the world it will a pleasure to watch it out.

Good orators can not do anything. OBAMA is a good orator.

Back bone of United States

We all know the present condition of all economies. Every nation is suffering from a big storm named recession. Even the so called supreme powers had no exception. United States said that, this recession was caused in their country because of skilled immigrants. Saying it in simple words, their employment got affected because of those who came from foreign countries like India, china, etc.

A recent survey reports that immigrants from India and likely countries are the founders of many engineering and technology firm, out of which they give employment to thousands and thousands every year.


A fact which makes me amaze is that nearly 25.3% of engineering and technology firm established since 1995 to 2005 are established by immigrants. A very sad note is that these immigrants are blamed for unemployment.

These firms have give more than $52 million in the year 2005 and it has also provided an employment to 4, 50,000 people. United states claim that these immigrants are the cause of this recession all over the world.

Excluding the Indian firms of 25.3% china contribute to a percentage of 6.9, United Kingdom 7.1%, Taiwan 5.8%. The report went on making me wonder struck with the following details.

Out of total skilled Indian immigrants;
46% have software firms and
44% have indulged them self in manufacturing units and related firms.

This report clearly points out how the growth of the United States has been in all these days. Skilled immigrants who invested their talent and skill are the only main reason for the betterment of the United States in my view.

It would be better for United States if they stop blaming other nations for their down fall and try to improve and improvise their skills in the work they do. It would be much wiser for all those immigrants to use their skills in their own nations.
