A Black Swan


Dear Samrat

Will appreciate your forwarding my following blog to AAP team

A   Black   Swan   ?

Will the 2014 national elections throw up a " Black Swan " event  ?

Nassim Taleb ( author of " Black Swan "  ) , describes a Black Swan event as follows :

>  It is an " OUTLIER ", as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations ,
    because nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility

>  It carries an " EXTREME  IMPACT "

>  In spite of its outlier status , human nature makes us concoct 
     " EXPLANATION " for its occurrence , after the fact , making it
     explainable and  PREDICTABLE
   

In brief ,

>   Rarity

>   Extreme Impact

>   Retrospective Predictability

According to Taleb ,

>   The highly expected  " not happening ",  is also a Black Swan

Example of Black Swan  ?

>  Kumar Vishwas ( AAP ) contesting Amethi Lok Sabha seat against Rahul
    Gandhi in 2014 - and defeating him  !

Here is why  :

>   Amethi Lok Sabha seat is kind of " Reserved " for the Gandhi Family for
     past many decades . To save face , no other political party fields any
    heavy-weight candidate from Amethi  (  RARITY  )

>   A Kumar Vishwas contesting Rahul Gandhi will encourage , hundreds
     of Aam Aadmi Davids to take on mighty Congress / BJP Goliaths , in
     their respective constituencies . All the Congress / BJP stalwarts lose
    their deposits ! ( EXTREME  IMPACT  )

>   What makes Kumar Vishwas victory over Rahul , so PREDICTABLE  ?

     Simple

     *  People don't want " more of the same " for another 5 years .
        ( viz : Dynasty Rule )

     *  People want a change

     *  People believe , AAP will eliminate corruption

     *  People think AAP will work for the benefit of the poor

     *  People have seen what AAP government delivered within 48 hours
         of assuming power in Delhi

     *  BJP / Congress leaders will neither read this blog nor read " Black
         Swan  " !

No doubt , experts debating election results on TV channels , in June 2014
( after the fact ) , will concoct many other " Explanations " to justify the
occurrence of this Black Swan  !

RE: Steady as you go !


Dear  Samrat,


I am glad you are reading my blogs

You can find all of these at  www.hemenparekh.in > blogs

Below find my today's blog

Robinhood   of   Delhi   ?

All of last evening , experts were debating on TV channels ,

"  Is Kejriwal robbing Peter ( rich ) to pay Paul ( poor )   ?  "

They were discussing the losses that Delhi treasury will suffer ( approx Rs 25-35 Crores per month ) due to ,

>  20 KL 0f free water

>  50 % subsidy on power ( up to 400 units / month )

But AAP leaders are saying ,

" If Peter is rich and Paul is poor , then there is nothing wrong with robbing Peter to pay Paul  "

What they are leaving unsaid is ,

It is better to be a Robinhood  than to be a Robbing Hoodlum  !

  Robbing Hoodlums of Congress governments have been robbing the poor for the   past 66 years and making the rich  richer,  and poor  poorer  !

Dear Experts ,

 Will you please explain ,

>  Who got Rs 50,00000 Crores worth of Scam money in last 15 years  ?

>  Who have deposited Rs 300,000 Crores worth of black money in Swiss banks ?

>   Which Industrialists / Businessmen have failed to return to the Nationalized Banks , Rs 200,000 Crores of loans - without any efforts at recovering the same  ?

>   Which private money-lenders are making 20,000 farmers commit suicide every year , for failing to repay their small loans ?

>   Who are all travelling Air India on subsidized  air-fares , which has bled the Government of Rs 100,000 Crores in past 15 years ?

>   To which businessmen have State and Central governments gave away - almost free - Rs 500,000 Crores worth of farming land to set up SEZ  ?

>   How many sick ( ICU ? ) Public Sector Units have the poor people of India kept " alive " , by subsidizing them to the tune of Rs 100,000 ,000 Crores over the past 60 years ?

Who got this money  ?

And if you dispute our figures , will you tell us the correct figures  ?  "


But since these  " self-appointed economic experts "  have no honest answers to these questions , they are telling AAP government ,

"  You are not supposed to fulfill your poll promises by increasing the EXISTING levels of subsidy on water and power

If you have only a few hours to survive , within that period , why don't you ,

>  Lay 150 Km of water pipe lines  ?

>  Install 20 lakh new water meters / replace 10 lakh defective ones ?

>  Ditto for Electric meters

>  Get CAG to finish its audit of 3 Discoms ?

>  Get DERC to announce new tariff , revised downwards by 50 %  ?

>  Float tenders , finalize and appoint 6 Discoms ( to replace existing 3 ) ?

>  Study 200 files of CWG Scam tenders and file cases against corrupt government officers / contractors / politicians , who minted money  ?

Why can't you do these things by tomorrow evening  ?

Don't you know , extending existing subsidy % , is bad economics  , even if it is good politics ?

In any case , by precedence of past 60 years , bad economics has been solely our prerogative

How dare you copy us , then claim originality ?  "


AAP may choose not to answer

But by May / June 2014 , 760 million voters will

And depressed / tortured / raped / murdered / looted people around the World , will applaud an alternative to violent Arab Spring  !

Mahatma will rise from the Rajghat  !

Dear Hemen Parekh,

Thank you for your mail, and apologies for the delay in our response.

We value your suggestion.
We had asked for public opinion upon the matter of forming government. Public's verdict is to form the government, thus now we are going to form minority govt. in Delhi and will surely fulfill all the promises we did.

We seek for your blessings to keep our struggle going till we achieve our goal of corruption free india.

DON'T  BUDGE  /  DON'T  FUDGE

Congress and BJP are still in denial , 3 days after election results

They refuse to believe that , for the first time , people had a real option

Not between Congress and BJP

But between Congress / BJP on one side and AAP on the other

But , both Congress and the BJP , are firm believer in ,

"  In politics there are neither permanent friends , nor permanent enemies  - only permanent interests , viz : , how to grab / stay in power "

To keep BJP out of power , Congress has even offered " Unconditional " support to AAP , if it wishes to form a government  !

Then of course , Arvind suggesting that Congress and BJP get together to form a coalition government , must be treated as a light-hearted joke , which , even Arvind does not take seriously  !

But it will be the END of AAP - and of Arvind - , if he compromises on his stand that ,

"  AAP will neither support anyone nor take support from anyone  "

This is the only thing that differentiates him ( and AAP ) from other power-hungry politicians

This is the only way he can prove to the people of Delhi - and 725 million voters of India - that , he is NOT lusting for power at the cost of principles

His message to Indians is loud and clear :

"  I highly value your votes

   But I will not compromise and take support ( even if it is offered and
   unconditional  ) from the corrupts , just to occupy a minister's chair

   We don't care for power

   I will not stab you in the back , even if you fail to give AAP , an absolute
   majority  "

ARVIND ,

Remember , AAP is NOT just any other political party

People of India are looking upon AAP as a MORAL MOVEMENT , for which , this country has been waiting for 65 years

The only way you can live up to your promises , is not to compromise  !

If you do not compromise , people of Delhi will re-elect AAP with an absolute majority in the inevitable re-poll

And , in 2014 , people of India will follow !

Dear Sir,

A very good morning to you Sir and wish you and everyone in the family a healthy and a prosperous new Year ahead!

3P would complete 24 years and would enter into its 25th Year since its inception in 1990. Wishing you and Nirmit Sir a big congratulation for this journey and wishing you loads of success in the years to come!!

I am aware that though our date of incorporation and commencement of our activities is a few months down the line…..the year needs to begin with a bang!

I have taken up the onus to plan activities and manage the events across the year under the guidance from Nirmit Sir and the suggestions received from the larger group! Your inputs are more than welcome.

Once again wishing all of us a successful growth for 3P under your guidance and NHP’s leadership!

Nirmit,

I cannot forget that

>  I spent the very first day of 3P ( 15 April 1990 ) interviewing candidates for Standard Batteries , with Mr Vibhay Sinha

>  Mr Vibhay Sinha planted the thought of starting 3P

If he is still around , we could plan a small get together of a few HR executives on that day ( 2014 ) and request Mr Sinha to speak

Less is More


Dear  Shashi

Here is my today's blog

regards

hemen


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congressmen   are   Confused   !

AAP made a few poll promises - prominent being ,

>   700 Liters of free water per month

>   50 % subsidy in power bills

And people of Delhi elected them to power

Then within 48 hours of forming government , AAP fulfilled these promises

Total cost  ?

Less than Rs 40 Crores / month

Congressmen are asking themselves ,

"   We promised Rs 200 Cr / month of freebies - and got thrown out of
    Rajasthan / MP / Chhattisgarh

    What went wrong  ?

    The more we promise , the more we lose  !

    And , to win 2014 elections , we have promised 600 million poor people
    a monthly subsidy of Rs 8,000 Crores by way of Food Security Bill

    At this rate , what will happen to us  ?

    It seems , the more freebies you promise , the greater your chance of
    being thrown out of power  !

    And look at what Rahul Gandhi has promised the people of Amethi  :

   >   A railway coach factory

   >   A University

   >   A paper mill

   >   40 food processing units

   >   Indian Institute of Information Technology

   >   Footwear Design and Development Institute

   >   IT hub in Tikarmafi

   >   A railway line  ..................etc


  But Kumar Vishwas (  AAP  candidate for Amethi ) is promising only ,

  >    A clean / corruption-free / pro-poor government

No more  !

With just 5 months before the 2014 elections , how can our would-be Prime Minister , withdraw those promises  ?

And , since the logic of " Less is More " seems to work , does that mean Kumar Vishwas will defeat Rahul Gandhi  ?   "


And Rahul Gandhi is asking Sheila Dikshit :

>  Why , in 15 years , you did not implement what Arvind Kejriwal did  ?

>  Why you did not ask CAG to conduct an audit of Discoms  ?

>  Why you did not hold Mohalla - Sabhas  to connect with Aam Aadmi  ?

>  Why you failed to figure out that people wanted toilets, not highways  ?

Now , all of you , repeat after me ,

>    Less is More

>    Simple is Elegant

>    Adarsh is not Ideal

>    Aam is not Ordinary

>    CAG is credible

>    Jhadu will sweep

>    Congress will weep

    


Sheila Dikshit , Chidambaram , Kapil Sibal , Salman Khurshid , Jairam Ramesh , Manish Tewari , Kamal Nath , Digvijay - and sundry other Netas , are utterly confused !
