Nano....where will you drive in India ??

With the arrival of long time awaiting Tata nano car, I would like to ask Mr. Ratan Tata-"Where will the people drive these cars”? Everytime I go to India, I see new flyovers, bridges, toll collecting stations. It all seems like a concrete jungle where it is becoming difficult to breathe. No wonder we are becoming a gigantic contributor to the CO2 emission club. Had Mr. Tata invested in researching a cleaner, , more efficient public transport bus, it would have been much more beneficial for the nature and for the people too.

Fight for reservation in Rajasthan

Fight for reservation is an ongoing hot topic in Rajsthan's politics these days. Being a rajasthani, I cannot help myself to pen down a couple of thoughts I have on this topic. When the constitution of India was being drafted, certain historicaly opressed and under-represented groups were identified by the constitution makers. The whole idea of the reservation was to give these people a chance to climb the ladders with somewhat help and be on a comman platform as others. With time, this idea had taken toll in the power corridors of India to play the usual politics.
In current scenario it is completely transformed into something which only comes out of the box just before elections to pursuade people. What could be the worse than common people themselves cannot understand the dirty politics of our leaders which show the mirage everytime elections are on their way ?

Shameful new year eve !!

Once again, the news of women molestation on the new year's eve shocked the country. It happened all across the landscape of India, from kochi to mumbai to patna. The most shocking news to me was in mumbai, a crowd of 60 hoodlums molested 2 young women. This was the time when we were supposed to make the resolution in order to be a more just, fair and strong society. On the contrary, few thugs tried to harass 2 helpless young women. To my surprise, on the same day some so called "moral police" guys smashed a video parlour in Mumbai accusing them of running the prostitution business. I have a very simple question- Where the hell this moral police disappears when the shameful incidents like the molestation of 2 women by 60 men happens? When this "moral police" can smash an archies card shop for selling the valentine day card, why don't they come up for the help of young women like those who have been harassed? What an extreme of hypocracy !!!!!
Incidents like this not only shows the drastic degradation in our moral values, they also pin points that as a society, where are we heading. If few guys were molesting these women, what were other people doing? Why didn't they come for their help? I don't buy the argument that Police didn't do anything. Police is forced to enforce the law, but common people plays a vital role in enforcing the law. We need to rethink on this and try to act on our intuition so as to stop the incidents like this.
