HOUSES-'which do not make city'

Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious. Looking at the little but unpleasant slum at my locality I came to this obvious conclusion. Globalization has offered a lot to India and  one of them is a modern day caste order to Indian cities.The great Indian middle class and in contrast the  slumdogs.It will be my foolishness if I go to describe  why the middle class people do not want to see a chunk of slum near by its home.The answer will be numerous as well as hatred.Frankly speaking  we don't want  these unpleasant looking small dwellers  in our visual horizon. 


Lets take a flashback of my words and talk about our housemaid,without her my mum may struggle to run home.That is not my mum but I suspect every household will have same experience.Of course  our housemaid hails from that slum as others also. The man who have opened the laundry ,The two people who comes to collect the daily garbage,the women who sweep the road and the people alike.My imagination is through but here it finds no air. My belief finds something but why men-women do not find anything.May be I have not that eye! Or the eyes have get older! Sometimes I'm confused.

GoinG '-VE '

It should not  but it have happened this way. Our politicians have started doing very well in 'Mathematics'.Even better than the eminent mathematician , as they have taught the world how a good mathematics  knowledge is most important to seek a victory in election of any type(From panchyat ward member to lower national general election)  . Just first study what is the no of population of different groups which can be differentiated on words like Majority-Minority,Dalits-Who call them Dalits,Adivasi-New vasi,Slum dwellers-concrete Gharbale and even in Upper sahi-Tala sahi.Anyhow  make a combination that assures you 30% vote of total account by uttering things like 'Brahman ke lie arakhyan'.....I can not put my mouth out here as it can be against the publishing rule of BLOG . I heard some software companies have started working on a program to make things more fault proof.That much I will come to my point.The voting system In our country has lately creating a paradox that to divide our country  for achieve mere power by hand of  politicians.


So time has come when we change the way voting process is run in India.We should go with a double layer voting.That is 1st layer should be like the one we are doing present but instead of choosing a single winer we must find out best four for which people voted.In next step we should go for negative voting that is from four person earlier chosen who is least hated.Yes by this politicians will not change their color but they will fear to appease a  single community/cast/group and spread the hatred in my country.Because a united India matters.

News paper of republic day

She has not much thought except how quickly the weekend come as weekend will come with the prize of past seven-days hardship Indian Rupee ₹700.As every prize comes with dedication,hardship how can be it different .Then what is wrong ! Wrong are the todays newspapers who have come with a full front page adds for companies (needless to mention the names) that bump development in my state on eve of 26 January. Definitely multinationals have given her a opportunity to yearn and support her family but for a girl of 15 this opportunity is harsh punishment .She has to be out of educational system and more from the social system and  forced into a environment where female hood lacks its existence.Her family never understand the amount of risk they are putting her for a  Indian Rupee ₹100 at times of when 1kg onion cost half of that and this is due to lack of education and deep poverty where every rupee is big thing.And it is not story of someone but lakhs of girls,women working as daily wage labours in the mining zones of  Orissa, Chatisgargh and Jharkhand . May be these mining multinationals bringing development but when comes to adds showing  smiling tribal people,they are completely false.These are just adds,I do not know why they need to publish it.Just waste of main pages and important news.

need of a contradictory push

Can you predict the similarity between Mark Elliot  Zuckerberg  and our won Indian democracy.Mr Zuck is the man/boy who wons,yes the Facebook domain world wide . Indian democracy do not need any introduction as every Indian proud of again world wide. As my friend list growing in facebook the feeds also.But where Dear Zuck has been gone wrong! He has allowed me to prize the impressive ones but not to show thumbs down to the disgusting.Similarly our constitution allows us to vote for a candidate.That has created a politics of appeasing to a particular religion/caste/linguistic group.So now our parliament is full of such leaders who believe dividing is the best way to come into power.Examples are enormous and not need to say categorically.So now time have come when we should adopt a negative voting system where voters not only choose but also disqualify candidate.Definitely Mr Zuck will hear my plea but what about my country ! (Most important one)

We the sitting ducks on an explosion



"Which is the greater danger - nuclear warfare or the population explosion? The latter absolutely! To bring about nuclear war, someone has to DO something; someone has to press a button. To bring about destruction by overcrowding, mass starvation, anarchy, the destruction of our most cherished values-there is no need to do anything. We need only do nothing except what comes naturally - and breed. And how easy it is to do nothing." 
-- 
Isaac Asimov





'220,000,000 & 400,000,000' first one  is the no of hungry people in India the next one is the no of uneducated people in India.If we combine them we will get another new set  that is the uneducated very poor people.This is the group that poses maximum threat to our country even more than nuclear armed Pakistan.In last 60 years all the state sponsored social welfare projects have been failed because govt has not given the importance to the core issue that is geometric population growth in this section.As the parents are uneducated and poor, their of-springs are many and uneducated-poor and in whole this is recursive.What ever fund we rise to implement their welfare project it remains less as they have grown their size.Yes main culprit are the people in power who are reluctant to  focus in main issue because it will hurt their personal gain.


My idea is why not we rise organisations with private body in line of insurance companies.We have to admit that government machineries  failed in this particular plan implementation. There is a scheme of financial gain for home with less children by govt but this is not working.So we must think for a new structure that is  agent-customer model of insurance company.Private people paid on basis of  success to pursue family to have a small family.Both the benefits for family and agent will taken care by government.Importantly companies must be private with govt funded looking at their performance. Initially govt have to take care of a  huge monetary burden but we can make it from the low expenditure on health,education,housing, employment etc in coming years.Yes there are many angles which are not taken care in this.

Indian wild boars

Just going through I read a story from somebody's blog as follows.


There was a village that was attacked everyday by wild boars for their food. The villagers tried various means to fight and chase away the wild boars, but without much success.

One day a wise man told the villagers to gather all the food from every household and put it in the middle of a big empty field. They followed his advice, and immediately they saw hundreds of wild boars approaching the vicinity where the food was placed. The wild boars were apprehensive initially, but after a while they went for the food.
Once the wild boars had a taste of the food they came back for the free food everyday. And everyday the villagers would put more food in the field and the wild boars would come to have their free meals. After a while, the wise man asked the villagers to erect four poles at the four-corners of the field.The wild boars were too busy having their food that they did not take notice of what was happening.
After a few weeks, the wild boars developed the habit of having free food. The wise man then asked the villagers to put fencing around the field, with a large gate through which the wild boars can enter to have their food. Finally once the fencing and the gate were completed the villagers closed the gate and all the wild boars were trapped inside the field. The wild boars were finally defeated!

Relevance of story is that politicians in our country has seen the poor mass as the wild boars of the story.As we come nearer to the state election of WB & TN, the two political parties TMC & DMK which are major allies of UPA in center are bargaining hard for increase in food subsidy which they can call their achievement for the cause of poor when they will go to people.We almost spend around USD 12 billion in previous financial year on food security and the major beneficiary are not poor but government officials, PDS distributor and the middle man from whom government buying in more price than market. Another major problem created by this system is creating a habit of free food which is a trap.Working people will always work and pay the tax.These power crazy politicians will be always in power by just giving the the hard yearned money as freebies and taking all the credit .Poor being uneducated will take this as a gratitude and sleep and remain ever poor.My honest request is stop all these projects as soon as possible or just confined them to pocket regions where we have seen situation like flood or drought .A poor man's real problem is that he can lost his whole life saving in medical bill and have no money to spend on education because they find it useless.So govt should come up with free hospitals irrespective of bigger nature of diseases and guarantee of free higher education for poor .There is very less chance that people over us will change and will try most not to change the people under.

Eventually boars lost their freedom ,we have almost !
We must stand and regain it.

Still I Love this leaping creature called cricket-1

World's No-1 test team is touring Srilanka but back home nobody is sure about that, will they return with No-1 tag they have taken.There was no missing link in this team till Zaheer Khan was not injured.You can say this is the first team in cricket history which is being no-1 but has less bowling fire power than the last one in ranking.When most of team captains are in dilemma to decide which bowler they make to sit out where Dhoni is struggling to find a fit bowler who can bowl not more than 135khp may be he is a newcomer.

You may have noticed or not, yesterday BCCI published the schedule for the 2010-11 Indian domestic cricket. Ranji trophy is the main & premier long format championship of the domestic league but there is another interesting fact is associated with this is one of rare league competition where a team placed in division-2 also compete for trophy.Two team make them eligible to play in quarters playing almost the whole season with weak ones.Result is always predicted but question is how can we waste so valuable time in this cramped schedule by wasting time on these meaning less quarters.I want to say that why not increase the matches in group stages.We should make a 3 tier league instead of present 2 tier 4 group tournament where each tire accommodate 9-10 teams.There should one final between 1st & 2nd of tier-1 by slashing the semi-final and quarter-finals which will allow to play 9 group stage matches from present 7 group stage matches.Two winners of other tiers will be promoted to upper tier and losers are relegated.This will create a better competition and professionalized league with each team matching the opposition.Yes some will argue that this format will prevent the teams in lower tier to win the tournament but fact is than in last 7 years from the which this present format came a team from plate group has just 2 time gone to semifinals and never beyond it.

I do not say this format create fast bowlers but a good league so a better competition to best players(Cont.)
