What's Happening?

The level of hierarchy in an organization is designed such a way that decisions taken by the higher most will affect whole organization. On similar lines, the decisions taken by higher most people in government will have humongous effect on our lives. But in last five years, the acts of central government can be written as bestselling book by chetan bhagat. “5 point someone-what not to do at parliament?” Though the original 5 point may refer to something else, let’s speak about the points which are crucial to our economy and what our beloved government did to it.
 

1. Agriculture:

Just when we are thinking that congress is doing a commendable job uplifting economy, continuing reforms, GDP growing at 8-9%, it brought MNREGA. Since 2006, the budgetary allocation of it is 2, 05,500 crores –yes!! Figures do exist more than 2G scam. But what will they do in MNREGA? In my village they’ll clear bushes along canals every month, which usually can be done with a single match stick. They’ll remove mud from ponds in a month just to fill them again next month. They’ll work for 1-2 hours, get ₹100 and go home.

People got habituated that they stopped working for farmers. Even Rahul Gandhi wouldn’t think that there will be labor shortage in India, but there is now. Labor in agriculture doesn’t require skills to fabricate VLSI chips. There is lot of man force available, but not willing to work. This lead to situation that farmers fear to cultivate crops like groundnut which are extremely labor dependent. Farmers are forced to pay extra from the marginal amount they are earning. Whom should we blame? Agriculture in India possesses too many problems that MS Office will keep a limitation documenting it.
 

2. Manufacturing:

            In manufacturing, mining sector’s growth rate became equal to meaningful statements of Digvijaya singh – they are negative! SC banned total iron-ore mining, thanks to our “Gaali Bros”. In pursuit of becoming Warner Bros of mining industry they made whole mining industry Lehman Bros. We can’t blame Supreme Court on its decision as exploitation is extremely high. India, Country very rich in iron-ore deposits is actually importing iron!

            What ever the electronic goods we see around is either made in china or Thailand. Don’t we have demand? My university is fair enough for dell to open a permanent service centre there. How many electronic manufacturing centers exist in India? In clothing sector even Bangladesh is exporting more than India! If Bangladesh and Thailand can….can’t we?
 

3. Infrastructure:

            The word Infrastructure development is being spoken since my grandfather’s childhood, which I think will be spoken till my grand-children’s too. Recently govt. cleared 1.83 lakh Cr infrastructure projects which are pending from a quite long time. But why now? Clear it after Rahul Gandhi became PM, and then you can give at least that credit to his malnourished resume. You guys are sitting on files to such extent that instead of hatching chickens, they are becoming menu list of KFC. Dedicated freight corridors, increasing cargo handling of ports and UMPPs are not occurring even as our day dreams.
 

4. Services:

            The only pillar which is partially not yet blown away by government is services. Thanks to the IT boom and forward looking policies of S.M.Krishna and Chandrababu Naidu. Services is to India is what manufacturing is to China. But china used manufacturing to transform itself into economic superpower. It is giving china a huge fiscal surplus and Forex reserves. What we are using our service sector for? Since 2006 it is IT exports which are compensating for our ever increasing appetite for gold and Oil. Instead of becoming a main warrior of our economy, our Service sector is healing the wounds like CAD and imports of other main warriors of manufacturing & agriculture.

            We are not asking to build these four pillars of our economy with Silicon Carbide, but at least use cement instead of silicon dioxide.

The destroyers of Andhra Pradesh

Since last four years one region or other in Andhra Pradesh can be compared with nothing less than blast furnace. As everyone knows, it all started with “FAST UNTO DEATH” of K.Chandrashekar Rao in 2009. “Fast unto deaths” are becoming ridiculous that mahatma might not coined that if he knows it’ll be used for these sort of political gains .It may be done for political gains or a genuine cause for development of telangana-it doesn’t matter now as bifurcation is inevitable. I don’t support either bifurcation or United AP. Instead for a solution ASAP which is acceptable to everyone, at least a majority. But the way congress mishandled Andhra Pradesh can be termed as the worst event ever happened to AP in modern history.
                First, let us not term it as Indian National Congress, it’s unfortunate official name. The original Indian National Congress is formed with main aim of independence to India. Many eminent personalities like SN benarjea,Tilak, Sardar, bose and the most important-Mahatma sacrificed themselves to become brick and mortar of party. Even in post -Independence era Nehru took it to such an extent that greats like Shyam Prasad and B.R.Ambedkar lost to it. Indira Gandhi is first destroyer of the party removing organizational structure of it electing Chief Ministers of her choice etc. Then came the worst mistake of all time-making Rajiv Gandhi PM on the evening of Indira’s death. What is the qualification of him except the DNA factor?
                This mentality transferred slowly into the mindset of people that congress can be run only with the grace of Gandhi family. After Narsimha Rao era, mishandling of party occurred which is common for a party of that size. Even Nehru and Patel had differences to such extent that only death of Gandhi unified them together for realization of Gandhi’s idea of India. But the cronies of Gandhi family argued that only Gandhi family can head INC for its stability. It may be partially true but what if the president of a party mishandled a situation completely? They should be ousted of post. In my view Sonia should be ousted immediately for mishandling AP. But will it happen?

The problem with present congress is it keeps party’s interest above nation. If Congress is really seeking a solution to the problem of AP, it’ll not announce the decision of bifurcation in present reckless matter. The extent of service done by AP to congress is so enormous. After emergency when INC is cleaned out in whole India like germs of toilet, our Andhra Pradesh elected 41 out of 42 MPs from congress. Even that one seat is Neelam Sanjeeva reddy of congress contested as BLD candidate from Nandyal-the fortress of congress party. But what have you done to AP? You left us like leprosy patient outside kaligaht. Even the patient mentioned had Mother Teresa to look after him. The present patient (AP) has no one but vultures who are feeding on carcasses of the destitute.
                It is for sure that you announced the decision of bifurcation just before general elections so that you’ll gain political mileage in telangana. It is also the other way that you can collaborate with YSRCP in seemandhra and gain advantage there too. But who are the losers? We “THE PEOPLE”. I know the feeling when buses don’t ply for 3 weeks during strike in telangana. It didn’t change much, but the baton passed to Seemandhra. If you are sure of bifurcation, it should be first discussed with the main losers of it-Government Employees, NGOs and RTC workers. Not with your Ahmed Patel and other idiots.

But let us not fight over what had happened. Wisdom is when we convert our negatives to the positives. When Japan attacked US in Pearl Harbor, US used it to advantage of becoming a global superpower. That is the reason now if US sneezes, world catches cold. Let us take advantage of this bifurcation as development of two regions. AP came to the lowest point it ever had in modern history. Even in this situation, we can look for positives. As it is the lowest point, the only direction we can go now is up. We do have abundant of natural resources and manpower, let us bargain for a solid package for development of two regions from centre. As long as we fight ourselves like cats for bread, there shall always be a monkey like congress to snatch it from us. United or divided, we shall stand as ONE.

 I used to have a lot of respect for Manmohan and other eminent people in congress. But the way they are keeping mum on orders of madam made me intolerant that I’m ready to slap everyone I admired for their handling of my motherland. We sent 33 MPs to form government for INC, let us not make that mistake again. Let us not elect any guy from congress for decades. Even in telangana elect whoever you want except INC. Just remember that it is due to this congress we struggled for 4 years of political instability. Don’t let any of Gandhi family to touch our soil. Remember if we behave like prostitutes of Gandhi family, we are treated as such.!!

Media-The Murderer

“Power without responsibility -- the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages." - Stanley Baldwin

Media is often termed as fourth estate of democracy. First estate-Indian judiciary can be compared to Dharmaraja of India, can’t accuse it of anything at least as of now. Though two other estates viz. legislative and executive have less faith, they sustain. Periodical elections have at least partial command of people over them. What about fourth estate? Who controls it? Please don’t say BSA or PCI.They are Manmohan singh of media.

With great power comes responsibility. It is applicable to every field. A general have more powers compared to a major. But each step a general takes is very crucial that sometimes it determines the history one can make. We do have historical evidences of it like Dara Shikoh dismounting elephant etc. What happens if general misuses the power? We need an external force strong enough to decimate him like Jasmine revolution.

No one disagree with the power media possess especially in India. What about the responsibilities of it? BBC says there are more than 70k newspapers and 500+ channels in India in Jan-2012. India is the biggest newspaper market in the world with over 100 million copies sold each day¹. So a news paper’s report will have a considerable influence on Indian population. But if a report is published only to increase its circulation at expense of our country’s reputation what is the jasmine revolution of it?

One such example is this report in The Times of India. It states that some idiot junior officer (R.V.S. Mani) of home ministry accuses IPS officer of stating that Indian government is behind attacks of 26/11 and parliament. Even a 4^th standard student knows who is responsible for 26/11. But our idiot Mani (actually I’m decreasing the value of idiot by calling him that) doesn’t know that. That document got LEAKED. Recently many documents of CBI/Home ministry are getting leaked to such extent that RTI is feeling ashamed. Citing report of Times of India every newspaper in Pakistan quoted that India is behind attacks. The Hindu explained it very clearly here No one in India knows about it because our MSM (Main Stream Media) doesn’t report it. What should be the responsibility of Times of India-the largest circulating daily in India possess? It didn’t even check the credibility of report and published it. Times of India behaved like Dusyasana humiliating Draupadi (India)

Coming to our 24x7 media channels, they always monger about Modi. Don’t know what their obsession with him is. They hold debates about secularism every night that people hear more about secularism than our Indian constitution. 23 children died due to poisoning of the food. The cause is not established yet, but our media frame stories that Satyajit ray (thank god he left us) will envy of. I personally saw Times Now scrolling about a snake in food for some time that night. “Snake”-Seriously...?? That snake story is from Ajmer, don’t know since when Ajmer has been part of Bihar! They stopped it later though. Seems like it didn’t get its lesson correct through 100cr lawsuit².

Meanwhile NDTV is showing “MIDDAY MURDER” zooming in and out. Already enrollment in our government schools is less than our industrial growth. If people see these sorts of murder stories, they’ll never send their children to school. Is it good for our country? Reporting of such grave incident is necessary, but just keep nation’s interest in place first. These are reputed English media channels’ ideology, think about our regional channels. They aren’t eligible for a reference anywhere.

After Delhi rape incident the amount of reporting about rapes skyrocketed. If media continuously scroll about an attack on foreign national in font of Anant Ambani is simply disgusting. If some Briton sees it continuously, he’ll be under impression that India is never a safe place for outsiders. Should we allow it? In other incident news channels are showing one acid victim’s photograph having a black line segment on eyes in slow motion (like introduction of hero in our movies). Can’t these idiots have any mercy for her? People in whole India may not know her but how about her relatives/parents? Don’t they feel embarrassed? If someone pours acid on Bharka dutt will NDTV show her photos and videos having a black sensor on her eyes?

Media traditionally have much respect in democratic society, but please don’t misuse it and show whatever nonsense your sub-editors give to you. Have nation’s interest in mind always. Please don’t become the "harlot" that Baldwin mentioned and DON’T MURDER INDIA.

The UNcivilized Civilian

              We all are civilized citizens of India, at least in our claims. But civility is not a binary value confining to zero or one. We all have a grade of civility which may varies over a large scale. But when it comes to corruption our grade of civility is as high as our inflation. If we stand in a queue and someone bypasses it we explode as IED’s in Hyderabad-conditions apply.I said conditions apply since if the defaulter is a common guy our mind automatically tunes to angriest, loudest channel available in spectrum. But if the same guy is a higher bureaucrat/politician we remain like hapless Warne bowling to Sachin in 1998-want to do everything available but nothing more than being a mere spectator.

            But if we are in that situation of receiving those privileges we care nothing, instead we feel as the happiest person on earth for accepting that. We even proudly advertize to others that I went through that shortcut, my friend allowed me to meet X in just Y minutes etc. In some situations, we ourselves offer petty bribes to gatekeepers just to allow us to pass. So what is our grade of civility in such situations? Can we proceed further just because everyone is doing the same?

            Today, my friend boarded a bus for some short distance which is charged Rs.15 in our beloved Bengaluru Metro Transport Corporation (BMTC). As most of conductors in Bangalore he took Rs.10 and didn’t issue a ticket. Many of us accept this as we are also in line of profit, but who are losing exactly? -A public enterprise which is nothing but ourselves. This may look as petty issue but these are the commuters who felt dissatisfied when BMTC fares are up recently by Rs.5-10. If we had agreed to pay genuine fares previously they wouldn’t have increased prices in the first place. So, who are losing here? A question we all should ask ourselves.

            It doesn’t ceases to these petty issues only; from Rs.5 ticket to 5 lakh land-registration fee everyone in society made a habit of it. If we are getting a profit by avoiding paying to government, we are avoiding the growth of our very own. Daily we complain about increase in prices, corruption in government etc. But in participating in corruption we are losing our right to question anyone. In above situation we are part of 33% corruption (5 of 15). I believe it is much more if we take the whole bureaucracy. It is never about the amount of money but the attitude which is prevailing.

            My friend mentioned above disagreed and demanded a ticket. He even noted down the bus number so that he can complain online. There is a column for feedback/complaints in BMTC website. He was glad looking at that screen. After filling every idiotic field his joy doesn’t last even for a second after hitting the submit button. It showed a big red error-“Unable to post, please try later”. He tried later and later but it felt like Rohit Sharma batting again and again-both are useless. So, that is the level of feedback they are expecting. BMTC site is not very busy unlike IRCTC (they should keep unavailability index for IRCTC-curve reaches Everest during 10 AM); many of us don’t even know the site really exists. I should appreciate the intelligence of BMTC. Indirectly exercising veto power regarding complaints, they should pass it to RTI columns in many other government sites.

            We are so civilized that we apologize unconditionally even when we sneezes but equally uncivilized to be part of corruption and in turn criticizing it. For retaining our right to question corruption we should stop practicing it in first place. At least if we try to highlight those loopholes in government, they may change. Our media doesn’t care much about it as they have prerequisites for unearthing scams-they should be at least X lakh crores. These petty crimes are as equal as the heavy ones since it deals with attitudes of our civilized people. So, Can we behave civilly?

The MORONS

Bomb blasts rocked Hyderabad…again. As everyone knew they aren’t new to neither India nor Hyderabad. But those “everyone” are wondering why it is repeating again and again. Is it an intelligence failure..again? maybe or may not be but I strongly believe that it is a work of agencies like IM, JuD,  LeT etc. It’s the same scenario always- there will be a blast and when people panic there will be another nearby increasing death toll drastically. It’s the same scenario since I got to know the spelling and meaning of bomb. But why doesn’t it stop??

Consider the case of Indian Mujahideen which is believed to be main culprit in Hyderabad case. Their email after Jaipur bombings in 2008 says "demolish the faiths (all religions apart from Islam) of the infidels of India". Islam never said to kill innocents, and it even says that those who kill innocents, women, and children should be killed. Now, these groups which claim to be light houses of Islam are doing the same. As a secular country we should accept all the religions and beliefs. We do accept and respect all faiths but terrorism in mask of a false faith is unacceptable.

It is an open secret that Pakistan is main source of funding for all the extremist groups against India. After three wars against India and defeats in all of them, it realized that it cannot defeat India directly, thus started a pseudo war named TERRORISM. But Pakistan denies it just as fox saying I didn’t kill any chicken. But if you forgive the fox for stealing your chickens, he will take your sheep. It is what happened today, we got 12 sheep dead many other injured..!!

Of course, we can’t allow government to get away. Many of taxpayers will have this question in their mind-why the hell we should pay if you can’t provide basic security to live? They should stop behaving like life insurance companies giving ex-gratia after every death. But central government is not the wholly culprit. The nine state governments which opposed NCTC bill can have an explanation now? Those cite human rights as an issue!! and the funny part is the list includes Mamata Benarjee too..!! If NCTC would have been established long before may be due to better co-ordination this tragedy would have been avoided. At least now government can cite this as an example and pass this bill in Budget session itself. Instead of regretting about not to avoid this incident, it should take this opportunity to pass the bill.

Sorry, I forgot that opposition might be planning what to discuss during break times of adjournments instead of what to discuss in parliaments. If this is the scenario how those crucial bills can will be passed. As Pranab said we added the fourth D-Disruption to our democracy leaving the other three important Ds-debate/discussion, dissent and, decision. We also take part of that crime as we don’t question our elected representatives about disrupting, opposing crucial National Security bills.

Last comes our famous Idiots…The Great Indian Media. These are the guys criticizes if any VIP government official was not present in the blast site within an hour. Those are the same idiots who say that VIPs visit will destroy evidence and disrupt medical facilities. Some of the channels even got a court report on Pune blast case which mentions Begum-Bazaar and DIL-KUSH nagar. Yes, it is dil-kush nagar to them. Those are the idiots who don’t even know the name of area but went on analyzing court reports. Where the hell they are until dilsuknagar came to headlines, instead of blaming government on inaction why didn’t they take initiative and alert police. The answer is simple-how can we know its dilsuknagar until the blasts occur. Some organize meaningless newshour debates, not even one hour after the blasts.

So, who are the morons mentioned in the title? The Indian Mujahideen? Pakistan ? Government? Opposition? Media? No, the answer is WE, THE PEOPLE as until; unless we stop entertaining them all nothing can be done to the nation. The best medicine always comes in bitter taste, so does the truth..!!

IIPM..Indian Institute of.......whatever...!!

It is while going through The HIndu I’ve seen the acronym IIPM for the first time and I burst into laughter, because it always carries a hilarious joke with it-“DARE TO THINK BEYOND IIM’s.” I went through the full page advertisement and googled it a bit. I went through many forums and meanwhile I got the carrers360 case which exposes the IIPM scam. IIPM is an institution which uses advertisements as prey and hunts unaware middle class. It claims as No.1 institution for MBA, gives dazzling pictures of its association with foreign institutions, shahrukh khan and with mind blowing placements. When careers360 contacted many companies IIPM claimed, they said they never visited IIPM for placements.

 IIPM got a warrant against a web post and filed a defamatory case against it. Though it is squashed by uttarakhand high court later, I wonder how a “so called business school” is criticizing premier government institutions in public, that too with full page advertisements in major newspapers of country and get away with nothing. What more ironic is it is using our legal system so effectively that it is operating with 9 branches with none of them have approval from either UGC or AICTE.

The story is other way round from IIPM. They offer courses for BBA/MBA/MCA etc. In my point of view anything either bachelor or a master refers to a degree. Now as cat is out of box, IIPM says that it offers diplomas and students have a chance to get degrees from institutions like Berkley and IMI Belgium. Carrers360 worked background of these institutions. Berkley clarified that it no relationship regarding degrees and the advertisements are issued without their consent. So it is a big LIE!

While a degree from Berkeley is a lie, the IMI Belgium part is actually a joke.IMI itself is not recognized in its home country Belgium and cannot offer any degrees. And our IIPMers are daring to think beyond Belgium government to get degrees from it. Belgium officials also clarified that holders with IMI degree can be PROSECUTED as it is fraud. I think IIPM should give an explanation to this.

The best part of IIPM started on February 15^th. DoT ordered Internet Service Providers to block some 73 URLs containing anti-IIPM material. They include articles from The Indian Express, The Economic Times and The Wall Street Journal. It may not be very big surprise but those 73 URLs contain one from UGC website. It is a public notice that IIPM is not a recognised body and cannot award any degrees. Order is issued by a guy named Subodh Saxena which may in turn came from a judicial order. How come a government officer/judicial authoritarian blindly give an order to block a notification of government itself issued in concern of public interest…!!

We have the three great arms of Indian democracy jointly failed here. The legislative which blindly gave an order to block some URLs without specifying any reason. The judiciary which ordered that executive. And last comes the legislative body which did a grave mistake by allowing such an institution to run in the first place. Forgot to mention the Fourth Estate.-Our media is the best part of this idiotic institution. As IIPM carried advertisements in those channels/news papers they can’t say anything against it. It doesn’t even come as scrolling news. These are the guys who host manufactured debates for ridiculous reasons. They can debate even if some guy farts but cannot bring such institutions to criticism.

IIPM charges some 7-10 lakhs per course is acting a looter from the middle class. I think even students who passed out of IIPM can’t proudly say that they are from IIPM. But I still believe in our government system. There are heck lots of laws to control everything but our inability to use them is a serious threat for ourselves. I am not speaking about any complex laws, take the simple section 420 of IPC for cheating (at least 99.99% of our population knows about it). It is enough to book these kinds of institutions.

 I always remember a facebook update of my friend when I think about Arindam chaudhuri. When Obama visited India in 2012, our self proclaimed management guru posted some crap video blog about titled “Why Obama is of no use to India”. My friend reframed it as “Why Arindam chaudhuri is of no use to India…??” A question we should all think of…!!
