Taller & bigger statues - Tactic to divert attention

In ancient times to divert the attention of the rebellious & miserable subject kingdoms organized games. So magnificent were these games that everyone wanted to be witnessed of the biggest extravaganza on Earth. So mesmerized with awe that they forget their misery and demand nothing from the kingdom. The kingdom turned safe. 

Now come to the present time. We have the government playing the same game. They wanted to create statue, monument, bigger and taller, the reason remain the same - to divert the attention of the people from the work that were important and obligation of the government when in power but was not done. Gujarat government announces to build a statue tallest in the world, with the contribution of the people, allowing them to be a part of the pride of the country. It also started intensive marketing for it including advertisement on Facebook, a social media site. Maharashtra government took the clue and announces to build a structure even taller and, what a co incidence, just before elections due in October this year. This is nothing but a diversion by governments of our country.


The things that matters for the people of this country are water, electricity, law and order, transport, growth and development. Any political must be judged on these basis. People today are more learned, informed and aware. Diversions will not work now.

New Low Everyday - Competition Among Indian Law Makers

Image
It seems that law makers in the country are in competition to edge each one out in protest in a most headlines grabbing way. Snatching of papers of the speaker, pepper sprayed and now to stripping, every single day our law makers are touching new low. By getting elected for, they consider they have the right to hijack the house and do whatever seems appropriate to their understanding. They shamed the people of the country and the country before the world. The house should take stringent disciplinary action to set an example & deter other. What’s worst is the comment of the UP minister Azam Khan on the issue of stripping of 2 RJD MLAs. He once again epitomized the arrogance of the UP government as they are voted in the full majority, they are free to make such sick comments. Days are not gone when another MLA declared that chilling cold of UP cannot killed anyone in the relief camp. It’s time that people should be given power to ‘Right to Call Back’ these law makers who lack m...

Malshej Ghat Accident - Case of Human Error

Image
Once again human error is said to be responsible for the death of 30 passengers in Malshej Ghat where a state transport bus collided head on with the tempo and fell into a deep gorge.  Driving in hilly areas is totally different from driving in plain areas. Drivers who have experience and skills in driving through plain may find it difficult and challenging to drive in hilly areas. The gravity at the inclined plane and sharp turns made it very difficult to control the vehicle. Also driving after sunset and before sunrise challenges further as drivers are unable to gauge the sharpness in the turns properly and driving is done purely on the assumptions. If the vehicle is slightly overloaded then it makes it further difficult in controlling the vehicle which is under the influence of gravity at inclined plane.  Further, the safety of vehicle do not depends upon the driving skills of the driver of that vehicle alone but also on the skills of other drivers. This accident ...

Desperation to win

Image
The desperation in BJP to win general election 2014 is evident. It is not shy away to strike an alliance with any regional potential political outfit. The closeness of BJP with MNS in Maharashtra has already raffled feathers in longtime ally Shiv Sena. The latest episode of inclusion and exclusion of Sri Rama Sena chief in Karnataka is another example. Earlier party cleared the ticket to those who were involved in Muzaffarnagar riots. The infighting of the party is known to all and sundry. Every senior leader is fighting their own prestige battle. It will be interesting to see in the coming election how this desperation of the party will responded by the people in the presence of more potential challenger like AAP which has already upset it to win Delhi state polls.   Disgruntled seniors  In & Out of BJP in 5 hours
