“MAYTAS” is “SATYAM” reverse-spelled

Interestingly Maytas isnt really a word with a meaning.. It’s just a reverse spelled version of Satyam..what is more striking is that Ramalinga Raju tried to hide the truth by acquiring Maytas (literal meaning of Satyam is Truth)…

Infact Satyam did get one thing right – Truth is “What Business Demands” ..

The future of Satyam employees lies in doubt… Infosys HR head Mohandas Pai has already announced that Infy won’t recruit former Satyam employees…

Some of the biggest auditors have been involved in recent frauds.. Arthur Andersen for Enron Scandal.. and now PW for Satyam… For some reason Regulation itself isn’t enough to prevent another scam in future… Lawyers find greatest wealth in “Getting around the rules” and so its not the “Law” that would protect Economies but the “Spirit of the Law”.. Corporate integrity and values would go a long way in protecting shared wealth and faith in the open market..

One great learning from this episode is that the Shareholders have a mighty say in Corporate affairs, it was a very wise move to not let Satyam take over Maytas for the quoted price… A take-over would have given Ramalinga Raju more time to continue the scam… But was it a little too late….

morality is a fad

or is it? Atheists have this amazing fascination about morality… they dont want to define it.. it should be left to an individual to define morality, they say….

incredible… most of the “good”(calling someone good is stupidity because there is no reference) atheists have their morality rooted in 12 commandments.. but just when they turn adults.. they figure out some commandments done make sense and should be “bent”

there is a problem if morality is made an individual choice…

Without a “moral law-giver” morality becomes a cheap after-thought…

without a moral law, one ends up doing something and later finds a justification for that action…

as Ravi Zech puts it “there are people in this world who love their neighbors, and there are also those who EAT them”

it soon becomes clear, that and individual cannot make a choice (rather define morality).. at least that wouldn’t be a part of a universal / sovereign thought or culture… because it would so easily infringe on someone else’s choice of morality…
