Who is at the helm?

The next Finance Minister holds a very responsible position to take up the economy of India and the financial crisis to a safe level. Who is the best man for this job? Well many suggestions are available but here are the main contenders:

• Palaniappan Chidambaram
• Montek Singh Ahluwalia Check profile here

Both have excellent record behind them in shaping the robust business and economic models and have held various places. Dr. Manmohan Singh wants to send a strong signal by appointing one of them as the next Finance Minister. Congress, with its victory, needs to take strong steps and send confident signals in its decisions, actions and policies. If the rumors are right P. Chidambaram is being made Home Minister. With the top three,including Dr. Singh, at the helm it is going to be a safe ride ahead. I am still watching Rahul.

Dr. Manmohan Singh & Rahul Gandhi

Well its clear that Congress is sweeping the election. Its Dr. Manmohan Singh's wave this time. And partly a result for what he has done. On a longer turn Rahul Gandhi's path is clearly etched. I think he would replace Dr. Singh in a few years. The credit goes to Dr. Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and other leaders. A reaping time for a well planned and chartered path. Lets wait till the official results are out. But keep watching Rahul.

Few things that will happen:

• Stock market will rise(400-900 points) on Monday
  
• Better FDIs, jobs, etc.
• Stable government, confident policies
• Women's Reservation Bill will be passed (hope so)

Waiting for Rahul

When Mahatma Gandhi came to India to participate in Indian Freedom Struggle he was sent on a 'Bharat Dharshan' tour by Gokhale. Gandhi later described that this was the best advise he got. To SEE and LEARN for himself the people he is going to work for. The young Gandhi is following the same path. If his entry into strong political Dias is delayed he may be a wasted wonder.

Brands have to fulfill and meet the expectations of the people. You release it too early or too late you may loose the charm. How you decide the time will depend on how good your research department is and the accuracy with which you can judge the pulse of the public. Everything lies in the timing, like comedy.
