I was pondering about big companies and what drives them. Reading about how Mukesh Ambani is the richest indian in India and then about Anil Ambani being worth close to Rupees 60,000 crores (13.2 billion dollars) now, I was shell shocked.
"After toppling state-run energy giant ONGC as India's largest corporate house among listed entities after more than four years, RIL's market cap has further swelled to over Rs 1,65,000 crore taking Mukesh Ambani's net worth based on his shareholding in group companies to more than Rs 70,000 crore.Ambani's elevation has pushed Wipro's Azim Premji to the second position with a net worth of about Rs 64,700 crore" from Rediff website. (4 crores ~ 1 million)
In Exile ..
Have you ever wondered what it means to be in exile ..You have heard of world leaders who have tried to fight against the the regimes in power who end up being exiled..
The other day I was reading in the newspaper how a kind gentleman spent Rs.3000/- for about ten cages of birds and then set them free. It was a very strange act...
People generally enjoy admiring the beauty of the captive, they feel a sense of satisfaction to see the animal struggle for its freedom, tire out and finally give up the struggle. The animal ends up tame cause it has no choice.
