Thoughts In A Wandering Mind

A nation that can design a revolutionary product but struggles to make enough of it at home faces a difficult question: what happens when the supply chain breaks? The pandemic exposed that vulnerability in the United States, as shortages of medical supplies, semiconductors and other goods disrupted businesses and households. Since then, rebuilding manufacturing has become a national priority. Factories have been announced, investment has risen and industrial policy has returned to the centre of economic debate. But how far has America come—and is it experiencing the revival it hopes for? The answer is encouraging, but incomplete. The United States remains a manufacturing powerhouse. It makes aircraft, medicines, machinery, vehicles, chemicals, electronics and countless other products. Yet factory employment is far below its historical peak, production growth remains modest, and investment has not automatically translated into a broad surge in jobs. The recent signs are positive. In Sep...

When a professional travels from India to work onsite in the United States, more than one career moves forward. An Indian company has created an opportunity, an American client has placed its trust in that company, and a skilled individual carries that trust across the ocean. The professional gains experience and supports a family. The client gains expertise. The American economy benefits from the work and spending that follow, while India gains from the income, knowledge and relationships that can flow back home. One opportunity, made possible by organisations working together, can enrich lives in both nations. The same story unfolds when an American company creates an offshore role in India. One salary can support a family, fund a sibling’s education, provide healthcare for parents and give a household confidence to plan for the future. That income also reaches neighbourhood shops, transport providers, landlords and other local businesses. The employee gains experience working with g...

Every month, across India, an extraordinary act of public assistance takes place. A family collects free grain from a ration shop. An elderly woman receives a pension. A farmer finds income support in his bank account. A mother takes her child to a government health centre, while another family enters a house built with public assistance. Each act may appear ordinary. Taken together, they represent one of the largest welfare efforts the world has ever seen. India’s governments—at the Centre and in the states—have become a vast helping hand for hundreds of millions. Funded by taxpayers, carried out through public institutions and strengthened by policies across successive governments, this effort reaches into villages, towns and cities. Its purpose is both simple and noble: to ensure that poverty does not deprive people of the essentials of life and the opportunity to move forward. The most visible example is food. Around 80 crore people have been identified for support under the nation...

It should never be that one or two struggles forever and rest all can have it easy. It should never be that one or two works across countries in miss ion mode and rest all can just watch, live easy. It should never be that one or two set the aura in the country, world and rest all just live within it with comfort.  It should never be that one or two do the extreme ly difficult task of driving , pulling  along while everyone jump into the passenger seat for a comfortable ride.  It should be never that one person does the job of heads of state , operate as a bottom-up catalyst across societies, work - places , sectors and all other areas for years and decades all together.  It should be never that one person hijacks a nation and takes over the job to set the aura  in a nation how unwanted and unwilling he might be  to do . It should be never that he work s on behalf of who's who as proxy  for free, free and free  forever ...
