Greed is Good....Satyam

An unfortunate story again..... The reactions are pretty much as expected.... Everyone out with their own judgements... The anti-outsourcing lobby trying to make it an Indian Outsourcing fiasco rather than an isolated incident.... SEBI and others washing their hands off it.... The directors claiming innocence....Every Tom Dick and Harry out with a version of their own....Some coming out with "Raju Poems and limericks"....The samurai certainly is not a fan of all of this.

I mean seriously, if anything it is sad.... maybe we all need to look into ourselves and ask oneself if there is a little Satyam within each one of us.....Almost all of us do.. this ladies and gentlemen is not about an individual or a company or an industry also, it is about moral degradation of society as a whole.... Its almost like the Michael Douglas in Wall Street....( "Greed is Good" ) streak in all of us that is coming to the fore. The Bernie Madoffs' and Rajus' of the world are merely carrying it out at a larger scale.... May sound idealistic but maybe its time we all thought about improving ourselves and at things around us... the world would definitely be a better place to be in....

So much about idealism... Infosys has strongly come out with a statement saying that we should not go after Satyam clients and staff. While i am sure there may be other reasons, but to let go of an opportunity like this is indeed something which speaks volume of Infosys top management....Maybe we all need to take a leaf out of their book .... My respect for some of our leaders just continues to grow.....

I guess the samurai will have to end the ramblings here......For now! :)

cheers,
The Samurai...
