It procurment has been again delayed till 2014 !

New year is around the corner. One question that comes back to me each time in this season is what exactly is so special about the new year. Thought it would be interesting to know what does new year mean to each one of us.

I never fail to get amazed with the variety of things that contribute to a person's motivation for a work. Two things that I particularly find interesting (And you know you don't talk about compensation as a motivator on this site) are

• Nature of Work Itself
• The Cause Behind The Work

Both of these things are powerful. Both of them are major motivators. Yet, I thought it will be interesting to hear personal takes on them.

There are times when you feel you have had enough of the non-sense and anger seems to dominate the emotions. What is it that you do then? Playing with my anger for a while now, I wondered how other people respond to anger.

Some related discussion ideas that come to my mind are: - Is it okay to be angry at all? - Why does someone get angry? - Can anger be good at times?

What do you think is the one good thing and also one bad thing you have done to the environment? Please post your views here. Also mention what do you plan to do to stop the bad thing you do as a gift back to nature on this Environmental Day (June 5th).

Looking at the recent coverage of American Presidential election and the swearing in or Obama in the Indian Media (not to forget the table top discussions that have Obama as the buzz word), will it be fair to say that Indians in general are obsessed with Americans?

Every individual has the ability to bring in Revolutions, but it is just that we do not want to act. A recent comment which was posted on topic What is the most important issue that India faces today? said, everyone is waiting for a Messiah.

So what do you think, that you can do for your Motherland being the common-man you are?

All of us have 24 hours a day. Yet some people seem to accommodate and do more work than we do, and manage to have loads of fun as well.

What do you think we can do to make the best use of 24 hours we have?

In recent days, the newspapers are brimming with happening news. I gotta hear about UFOs and of Kashmir, about Bombs and Scandals, I heard about Bunds and about Demand for States, and someone speaks about Kabul and also about Nuclear Deals.. And yes not to forget the singers who are no more and the OSO cases..

I was wondering if we really cadre about all of this. If we really have any opinion other than on the lunch tables.

You must have seen the news paper flooding daily about the UPA Government going with the Nuclear Deal. Do you the support the UPA going forward with the nuclear deal. Do you know the reason behind LEFT opposing the Deal. Let's discuss..

International Price for a barrel of crude has shot upto $135. The Indian PSUs were being pressed beyond limits to maintain their costs. The fuel price hike seemed inevitable. Once it is in, so are the protests across the nation. Are they justified?

Let's see what all comes up here :)
