You make it so...This is such nonsensical article... You make it sound as if being rich and earning money is a crime. If Buffett and Gates want to earn money by doing business in India why do you think it is a bad thing ? This is the whole cycle of human development.. People invest money, they make productive things out of it that makes human lives better. From what they earn, if they are contributing a good portion of it to less fortunate among us, what is wrong ??<br />This is such hopeless point of view, they would make money from India by organizing certain things, which are available to be organized. If others in India are smart enough they can do the same, no one is stopping them. They are going to utilize the talent in Indian youth which is otherwise going waste or being spent in shouting slogans on the streets of India or in some religious processions...<br />I guess people who spend their lives just in writing such pieces and commenting on others, do not realize what it takes to produce something which is useful to human society at large, what it takes to do scientific research and development that makes human lives better... They only enjoy the riches of the hotels or the advancements in technology by writing such articles (which by the way are enabled by such technological advancement only) and being happy by false praises of some cha-chas....

I understand, we Indians are aware of the "daan" philosophy, however are we really doing enough to reduce the gap between the "haves" and "have-nots"? I do not know what enough is and at what CSR should start and stop? However the least I can say is these two guys have the heart to donate a chunk of their hard earned wealth for a better global society. I do not know of the statistics and outcomes of this philanthropic work but may be as an esteemed writer who may have access to information - you should showcase that - rather than making a lame outburst of "don't preach charity". How on earth does it help Bill Gates to fund HIV/AIDS prevention programs for the past 9 years? Can anyone point out the possible lives this could have saved? Probably no! But in my heart, I believe that was a good cause and it inspires me to donate a little bit of what I make. <br /><br />May be you should give an intelligent view of "Buffet: Go home" rather than a sentimental one. Again, I haven't read the interview, so not sure whether you have covered this there!Jeevan Gaikwadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286973095782589627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-70382411702841010322011-03-31T00:23:17.281+05:302011-03-31T00:23:17.281+05:30The smart beggers even in remotest part of our so ...The smart beggers even in remotest part of our so called "poor and illiterate" country, put some cash beforehand in their begging bowls, more the money and bigger the denomination, better the probability of recieving quality alms.KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05590209585070295117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-57518350800847425272011-03-30T06:17:30.311+05:302011-03-30T06:17:30.311+05:30The media is crazy - they lose sight of the fact t...The media is crazy - they lose sight of the fact that Buffet, for all his wealth, lives an extremely simple life. He is probably more "Gandhian" than most indians put together. He's lived in the same small house for the last 40 years, eat simple food and *lives simply*..go tell that to the vulgar Indian money bags who flaunt their towering expensive homes, private jets and yachts (Ambanis, Mallyas, etc etc). Indians are inured to poverty and are incapable of giving away like Buffet.Caravan Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05861570114811624280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-34638279747052769042011-03-29T15:52:26.091+05:302011-03-29T15:52:26.091+05:30Mothers are the flagships for world of love and co...Mothers are the flagships for world of love and concern. A mother is the one and only relationship we live for. Very few relations are there in life that can stand the challenge of time, and the mutual relationship with Mother surely tops the list of them. It’s the relationship that expects nothing from you, keeps loving you every moment, and stays with you for the rest of your life.

So far we have seen three wars, Gulf War I and II and the war in Kosovo. Whenever the US economy and the President starts doing badly they start wars, and use business tactics to run their economy. Where was this person all these years? Surely, they must be desperate for cash! I think we should just show our Indian hospitality and wave such people goodbye!Ashwini Sanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658557515977209640noreply@blogger.com
