“What is the Alternative to paying Bribe? Bangalore: Bribery is something unavoidable. Considering the present scenario in Karnataka, all people have to take oath not to indulge in bribery in their work place. We have role models to follow. We are proud of Narayana Murthy of Infosys who asked the customs official “What is the alternative to paying bribe?” and later he decided “We will just do that.” It was a threatening moment for Infosys politically and financially at the start-up. The question was raised whether Narayana Murthy had succeeded in corporate governance by being anti-corrupt. The answer very much lies in the fact that the Indian Government awarded Narayana Murthy with the corporate governance award in 2000. Infosys grew fabulously. Though we do not know how Infosys is today, once it was known for transparency, honesty and trustworthiness. Besides, it stood as a role model inspiring the corporate world. “I would avert any situation that lures me towards corruption and solely benefits me. I would be religious in deciding between choices”. The hypothetical case narrated by Narayana Murthy that 'if

Bangalore: “India can now win a Nobel prize in corruption,” said yoga rishi Baba Ramdev when he visited Bangalore on Friday. The yoga guru and the spiritual master's interest now turns towards politics – politics without corruption. He has no party to choose since no party is clean. He already runs a spiritual and social organization called Bharat Swabhiman Trust, and he is planning to bring this organization into politics with the main agenda to fight corruption. Baba Ramdev asks “Do you still want to live in poverty, uneducated and insulted all your life?” He says the revolutionist J.P. Narayan failed only because he was old and says that he wishes to change India when he is capable and when he is young; not when he becomes old. He says that if the parallel black economy is blocked and all the money locked up in Swiss bank comes back to India, India would be one of the most developed countries

in the world. He says that if the water management system improves and we use all the fresh water we receive through rain we can irrigate 38 crore hectares of land. Instead, we are letting it drain in to the sea today. By this the agricultural sector and the farmers would benefit and India's GDP would soar. Presently, Agriculture is only 15-16 % of the GDP and 50 crore people have no work. Baba Ramdev says that China's GDP is 3 times that of India's and t h Japan, which is 1/4 the size of Andhra Pradesh has a GDP of 200 lakh crores. India’s is just 60 lakh crores. Baba Ramdev is on a mission to change the Indian system and to increase members for his Bharat Swabhiman Trust. He says we have to change some of the rules that the British left in India. It only suited them and not us. He says it is time we Indians got united to make Bharat Ramrajya.

MOVIE Get Him to the Greek It's a fun little R-rated comedy, but coming off Sarah Marshall, which cinema goers would absolutely love. Get Him to the Greek is like The Hangover meets Almost Famous, which is a great idea in theory, but turns out just not bad in execution. The flick is a spinoff of the surprise 2008 hit Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but it's as much a sequel as Mallrats is to Clerks. Sure there are a few actors, characters, and nods to its previous chapter, but this is its own stand alone flick. Given that the first film was better, I think we all would've preferred the spinoff to be a Dracula puppet musical. In a movie chock full of surprises and featuring the Apatow all stars, one of the biggest surprises of
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (other than Jason Segel's full frontal) was British comic Russell Brand's performance as the sober sex maniac rocker Aldous Snow. An even bigger surprise is that director Nicholas Stoller took the ball and ran with it, churning out another flick with Aldous front and center. You'd better check it out on the silver screen.

Volley Ball Versus Foundation Ceremony AECS Layout: On Tuesday, the 25 May, the news corporators of BJP conducted ward office (Doddanakundi ward) opening ceremony at E Block ground. Not many people from the layout received invitation from the corporators. A very few in close circles got the information and attended the function. It is well known that the voter turnout in the BBMP (AECS Layout) was only 14%. Neither the people not the political parties take initiatives to bridge the communication gap. “Suddenly I noticed huge cut outs informing about the ward office opening ceremony. No formal intimation from reliable sources.” said a senior citizen. A couple of months before, there was a volley ball tournament (at the same venue in E Block) in which mostly the congress people were present. Many senior citizens said that there was no invitation to respectable locals. th
Functions and ceremonies are more of pomp and show to imply the party's status quo. A humble and service oriented approach is very much lacking. A good politician will always have conscience over spending every paise that belongs to public. Here in AECS Layout, the public too are not bothered about anything besides their self.

It sounds bizarre that the foundation stone for Doddanakundi ward office has been laid but the place where the building will rise is undecided. When and where ceremony takes place? Where the building will be constructed? When will the remaining developmental works continue? Layout Times can be had “If it happens, be content with it.
