Stay Hungry, Stay foolish

This is an awesome speech Steve Jobs gave in 2005 at Stanford University. Truly inspirational stuff.

Equality among equals

Few days ago, bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan was detained at a US airport, allegedly because of his surname. This received media spot-light. Ok...he is an iconic person in India, but this happens to many citizens in India...where VIPs like him get the privelege and they come in the exception list. Look at Praful Patel, he said -- "We will take this matter with US". How common Indian would be detained....who cares....
    This is not about Shah Rukh Khan, or this specific incident, alone. It is only natural for him to feel aggrieved; immigration procedures are not exactly pleasant. But the officials were just doing their job. The US is well within its rights to lay down the law on its soil, which has ensnared celebrity Americans as well: Edward Kennedy and Al Gore. After the next day of his detention, we got the news about Bob Dylan being questioned by 2 young police cops in US....who is the iconic person there...This shows how transparent US is. Instead of crying foul, this incident should lead us to examine the inadequacies of our own system – on the security front, and our social attitudes. A rule-bound system such as the US’s shows how great Democracy they are, no matter how big democracy India is. 

Few days ago, Kalam's checking by american airlines was in top news. And see Kalam, he didn't said much about that incident, but Shah Rukh could have beared....but he gave advice to US - "America needs to offer more warmth"...in indirect words he meant, give more privilege to us VIPs....:P

This shows how brains of iconic class in India is shadowed by the VIP culture prevailing in India. See if our icons are like that, where is the country heading?


    Why then must a very large list of politicians – and their families, in some cases – be exempt from security checks at our airports? Judges and bureaucrats, along with our netas hold up traffic on a daily basis when they go about town, causing much inconvenience to the public. I think time has come for think for us, the public that we sack these powers from these politicians and other VIPs.....instead of crying foul...ohh our hero was detained in US...etc...etc.... Its time to wake up............:D....thoda jyada ho gaya...


Right now our society is going like "Equaltiy among equals", that is if you are in general public....you will all be treated like that ... and if you are VIPs... than you will be treated differently. Of course its true that a Billionaire will not have feast with beggars, etc , so above phrase that "Equality among Equals" is valid...but when it comes to democracy , we all should have Equal rights....instead of right of Equality...:D


Jai Hind...Happy Independance day to all...

India needs infrastructure

When BJP seemed to be out of the league in the General Elections 2009, I was bit sad...but when the results were out I was happy because UPA turned out to be single largest alliance independent of Left....:)

How can party like BJP win which has no base in states like Kerala, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, North East....BJP needs to introspect how can it do that...because if it is Hindu Party and other show them secular, BJP has to show that other are pseudo-secular....and if Ram Mandir is very important than there must be a mosque there as well...but leave it now congress is in reign...and we hope that they do something v.good taking advantage of the mandate people gave to them....:)


Our FM has presented a budget...its really a very good one... A single budget can’t solve all financial problems. The FM has tried to achieve 4% agricultural growth which is a positive step. The National Mission for Female Literacy should lead to higher literacy. Rise in income exemption limit by Rs 10,000 will help the common man. It focuses on infrastructure as well, like handling Mumbai monsoon situation. There are various other things he mentioned...hope this year's budget fulfils its cause and next year's budget drifts India towards becoming super power in true sense....May India shine...:)


During the recent global economic turmoil, India has turned in an enviable performance: it has sustained financial stability and high growth even while some of the biggest economies have succumbed. As this budget is a nice one, it seems that India will do still better...but we should not rest...we have to counter China both economically and its millitary too.....and certainly this budgets moves us in positive direction. Budget is surely helpful in short-term goals but has no long-term planning...:P
