Beneficiaries of Reservation

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

Karan Thapar in his interview of Arjun Singh raised a valid question. Why not make the reservation work for a single generation. If the father has made use of the reservation to get decent education/job, he would be in a position to help educate his son without any government help.
But, nope. This won’t make [...]

More about our politicians

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

Our politicians are fantastic. They decide their own salaries. And they just recently decided that they can hold the positions of MP and MLA even if they hold office of profit positions. But, they do like to interfere with everyone else.
Be it educational institutes. Be it public companies. And now they are targeting private [...]

Irony of Indian politics

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

I just saw this interview of Mr. Arjun Singh conducted by Karan Thapar. The funny thing was that when Thapar questioned Singh on the fact the Indian education institutes are already short on staff and teachers, Singh answered that it can be taken care off.

No, I have not seen it but the reviews online have been totally disappointing. Sadness. I was seriously looking forward to this one since almost 6 months!

Alternative Power Industry

Friday, May 19th, 2006

It’s ironical that the inefficiency of the government to provide us decent/regular power supplies has resulted in a complete industry providing alternative power solutions. We have everything from invertors to UPS systems to generators. And even more fun is the fact that backup of 3-4 hours is considered the absolute minimum…

More on reservation

Friday, May 19th, 2006

If the Indian parliament is so adamant about implementing the reservation quota policy… let us have 50% reservation in the Indian parliament. I had like to see half of our parliament, assemblies represented by the so-called weaker segment of the society.
They failed to implement the women’s reservation quota. Let’s see if they have the [...]
