Isn’t it bad enough that we are paying so much money for electricity.. even when it is not 24/7 and there are frequent power cuts that the distributors are trying to get a 60% hike ok’d by the Delhi government. I think if government gives subsidies on CFL bulbs and energy efficient appliance and everyone is forced to use them there would be ample of power for the city. Government should also promote solar energy and put a buy back grid in place where excess of power generated by any house hold or establishment can be sold to the grid they by lowering bills. This is already being done in many western countries… so why not in India?
I was checking my blog stats today on Google Analytics and in the geographic overlay of traffic i was checking the visitors from different countries, to my shock i noticed that Jammu & Kashmir was no longer displayed as a part of India… Even if you go to google maps and search India, the boundary around J&K is displayed in dashes portraying that it is not a part of India… who is Google to decide this?
PWD (Public Works Department) will never learn the lesson… remember the pedestrian bridge which collapsed 2 weeks before CWG, now they want make 3 more like it… Stupidity personified.
What i fail to understand is when all other private airlines are making profits, why is one of he oldest airlines in India running into losses and since this has been happening for over an year now… why has the CEO of Air India and the Civil Aviation Minister done nothing about it. It is really strange that all govt run organizations are not just sloppy and never make profits.. let alone cover up for their own costs and finally the tax payers suffer directly and indirectly. I remember 2 years back i had published an article on Delhi Transport Corporation making losses while all the private bus operators on the same route were making money. The CEO of DTC said “Public transport system can nowhere be a profit-making body” … what a bunch of crap!
This was the exact reply i got when on my weekend trip to Nainital, i asked the peddle boat contractor to give me a life vest… and here i was under the impression that life vests were to be used even on every boat… but apparently peddle boats are an exception on the Naini Lake. I even said that i was willing to pay extra for it but was told that the life vests were NOT allowed at all and then the contractor started to point at all peddle boats showing me that non of the occupants were wearing the life vest.
I find this very strange, though i know how to swim i still wanted to be safe, just incase… what about the numerous kids who take the peddle boats with their family everyday.. what is to stop them from loosing their balance and falling overboard?
Speaking on the third day of his fast, 73-year-old veteran social activist Anna Hazare said on Thursday that his health was fine though he was feeling slightly weak and had lost about 1.5 kg weight. Hazare said that he would be fine for about seven days and urged people not to worry for him.
The activist, who is fighting war against corruption, also lamented the condition in which the country is today. He said that India was known as ‘sone ki chidya’ in the past but where has that gone today.
Hazare said that many people spread various kinds of rumours against him but that would not shake his determination in fight against corruption. He also refuted the allegation that his protest was influenced by the RSS.
Hazare apologized to political leader Uma Bharati, who was booed by the protestors, who had come to support Anna’s protest. He said that in a democracy everybody has the right to go to any place.
The activist also recalled the time when politician paid money to goons to kill him. He said that a number of cases were filed against him by his detractors but all this could force him to change the course of his life, which is dedicated to social service.
