Indian -?????

This was a Recent conversation between two guys in a Gym ........

Guy 1: Are you planning to settle down in India ?
Guy 2: If possible will Immigrate .
Guy 1: Where would you like to go?
Guy 2: Somewhere Indian population is less!
Guy 1: ( Bemused ) Why so?
Guy 2: Indians abroad are having a spoilt image , we are branded that we are after girls , flaunting our wealth so we are under scathing attack , getting discriminated ( * quotes few other example*) and our Image in general has taken a beating , i would like to set a good example .
Guy 1: But that Happens inside India itself ? we are not united ! we fight for petty things , Kannadigas dont like Tamil , Kerala refuses to give water so is Karnataka , Mumabi wala 's hate Biharis , Karnataka and Maharashtra fight , North east is always neglected ..... *(Pauses)* why do we have so many issues and fight over petty things ?? we have this introverted mindset and we have become selfish !
Guy 2: That's because everybody sees himself from a partiuclar region and not as Indian . There is no onesness or a common cause which can unite all .
Guy 1 : This oneness can be a Language and specifically English !
Guy 2: *( Laughs)* Nah , it cant be
Guy 1: Iam from North and you are from south and the only we communicate is English
Guy 2: But how many can speak English ??
Guy 1: we can train everyone , atleast the educated mass.
Guy 2: what is the percentage of Educated Mass??
Guy 1 : Around 50 %
Guy 2: Then the rest of the 50%
Guy 1: *(Thinks).....
Guy 2 If we cant be united by one of our own language , definitely not by a foreign Language ...
Guy 1 why cant everyone speak Hindi .. especially people from Tamil nadu ..!!!!
Guy 2: why should they speak Hindi....???
Guy 1 : Its our Official Language !
Guy 2: Tamil is one of the oldest language and a classical language too...
Guy 2: During Ancient times , Indians were united , they were so culturally rich , economically powerful and people were united across the length and breadth ..why????
Guy 1: .. hmmmmmmm...
Guy 2: Simple we had one notion of India , we had one Religion or atleast major and hardly two languages and there one was one Emperor who controlled everything...
Guy 1 : true ..
Guy2 : As time went by , people started to speak different languages , aread were divided along the languages , then came alien and foreign religions , people started to split along different religion ...
Guy 2: so it became increasingly difficult to unify people ...
Guy 1 : so you mean to say religion and language is the cause for all the problem s...
Guy 2.. hmmm..no .. but the politicians who use it for their vote banks and how the fickle minded people fall for it .,...
Guy 1.. That's right ...
Guy 2.. First educate the masses , Go back to developing Agriculture that's our prime strength , feed people , regulate water bodies , ensure adequate electricity and reasonable cost of living , this would help to a certain extent ..
Guy 1 /..but will those be alone enough,,,
Guy 2..well..that's a beginning ... lets hope people become matured soon enough ...
guy 1 .. lets our cricket stars play all through the year ..
Guy 2: .lol ..that's one solution..

Price Rise

First the Price of Petrol , then now LPG and slowly the price of Diesel will be raised , infact almost all of essential commodities like Electricity , Food , Public Transport have been raised .Rupee value is depreciating everyday , consumer good prices have also been hiked . but only thing which has not got raised is our salaries:(




Petrol , Diesel and Lpg Prices are hiked saying that the Government can no more afford to subsidies the prices as the Government and the other agencies are taking a hit on their profits and they are not even breaking even . The Government is planning to limit the LPG cylinders provided to the House Holds to a 6 or 7 a year and moreover they are deliberating a scenario were the affordable' s are to pay more or the cost equal to market price which is around Rs.700/- per cylinder . Now it will be interesting to see how the Government is going to arrive who are have's and have not's , i hope it wont be shocking as the Rs.32 demarcation for poverty line ! The Diesel Prices have also increased but then its not got deregulated otherwise the Oil cos would wreck havoc and prices will go spiraling further !!!!


Then comes another scathing attack on the masses , the Government has increases the Public transportation cost , Poor people and the Middle class people are worst affected , People have stated to walk , to save money on their travel !. Well after the long walk " aam admi" comes home to rest but what happens there is no power (Electricity ) supply , its the daily routine cut , The Government ensures that this "power cut" is met even if not other basic necessacities are met and some how hopes to keep its " Power " in tact and the irony is that The Government is proposing to hike the Power Tariffs !!!! now this is like " Paying Fees for a class which we are not supposed to attend"

The above mentioned price rises have a cascading effect on every other person and product . The Transportation cost and Power Tariff increases , basic food stuff and basic commodities (essential commodities) prices increases , basic food stuff prices increases cost of living increases , because of this many house holds are going without proper meals and its becoming increasingly difficult for them to make ends meet!

The Rupee value keeps depreciating day by day because of this our loans are becoming costlier and our investments are loosing their sheen , Gold and silver prices have risen to pluto and external galaxies .... savings are disappearing just to keep pace with the price rise !!!! Hope we dont disappear with the rising prices !!!!

well is there anyway to stop these things yes , there are ways ,Good Governance and most of all Bring back the Black money and please ensure people who have swindled tax payers money are made to pay and ensure no more scams . If the Money which is stashed in various foreign banks by our hot shot corporate honchos and big shot , good for nothing politicians is brought back to India and pumped in to the economy millions of people could be fed for free without a problem and all the essential commodities prices would come down. Scams !!! stop them and the money the scammers have swindled cannot be counted by two super computers !!! please ensure that money is accounted for and ensure it is pumped in to the economy and NO INDIAN will be affected by poverty and price rise ever again !

This is by a Regularly Tax Paying Normal Citizen!

Revival of Test Match Cricket

When the Head Honchos were deliberating the Future of Test cricket , i always thought that it would survive and infact it will evolve as a whole new challenge. Ad mist all these T20's and 50 over matches it is clear that the Test matches are indeed testing a Players skill , temperament , attitude and character to the core .

Test Matches were said to be dead because of the crowd response were very poor but look at the recently concluded test series Aus Vs RSA, Ind V Windies or for that matter NZ VS AUS, the crowd response was good and infact the quality of cricket was ever improving. Gone are the days were matches were heading to a dull draw , due to the advent , especially of T20 , the pace at which the test match is played has dramatically changed. Big Fourth Innings are scores are chased down easily and bowlers have learnt and mastered various skills , they are able to handle teh nerves better in tight situations and infact they are able to bowl out opponents with much more craft and guile . The recent Test matches especially 2nd test between Aus Vs RSA , Aus Vs Nz and 3rd Test of Ind Vs Windies were very close and they wre heart warming stuff and the crowd as well as players would have enjoyed them regardless of the result .
This proves no matter in which condition a team plays , if the attitude of the team is right they can go for the win .


If we start using uncovered pitches , i guess it will argue for the Game well and the matches would be more interesting as the ball and the bat would have a equal say and the crowds will starts automatically come in as the batsmen would hone their skills as they have to bat in uncovered pitches and the bowlers have to be intelligent enough to use the conditions well .. if there is constant and fair battle between the ball and bat the crowds will automatically come and the Test Match would be the superlative form of the Game .

Dark Ages - Coming soon to India !

There is a problem which is plaguing us for quite sometime now and surprisingly nobody is even bothered about it or is it they think that the problem would solve itself ??? Nah , unless we ensure some steps are taken iam sure we would return to the dark ages .. by that i mean no Tv , no Laptops/ Mobiles , no Pc 's/ Ipads etc even radio NO more industrial Units or factories and we are going to return solely to agriculture and all the built house would be razed for cultivation!!!!!..Hmmm... am i kidding??? no absolutely not, does that mean no electronic gadgets would be available in India or the big industrial companies are shutting shop or the small cos are bankrupt ! NO , NO No Not at all , Its simple we are running out of electricity ...YES! Electricity !!!!





Our Nation solely depends on Thermal Energy , Unfortunately we are running short of coal ( The Electricity which is produces using coal is called Thermal Power) !! Our Country is not able to produce the desired output , the reason shortage of many many things and the slack in the Policy making and yes Of course Red Tapism! and the Private companies like Reliance , Adanis etc etc came in to picture depending on the coal from Indonesia ( Indonesia once exported coal at a cheap rate ) but the Indonesian Government have issued stern warning to the Coal Cos to revise the prices up to International Standards, because of this the Private Cos are struggling with the Spiraling cost and are falling well short of expected production .




Turning to the Hydel Production .. we mustn't have a problem since we have a lot of rivers and that's one of the cheapest means of producing power ..but we are not able to implement the same why ...simple Red Tapism , Protests from various environmental groups saying building of dams will displace many lives and construction of hydel projects would create harm to flora and fauna .



Nuclear Energy .. Ha! The Future!!! But is it safe??? its a 50:50 gamble they say .Some safe its very unsafe will harm millions of life if something goes wrong , some say its the way to the future , many say if Japan could struggles , we would not definitely cope up with any calamity if it happens , already our Nation is the poorest in Public safety ( The recent AMRI Incident at Kolkatta is a prime example). Few say , If Germany can do without Nuclear Power so can we!!! but are WE and Germany Same????? Ask this question a million times ! and for the million time the answer would be a BIG NO!

So what is the solution ?? Hike the rates so that every one suffers! and Cut the Power for 6-8 hrs a day ! Make people to Force immigrate to other countries!!!
