Mile sur mera tumhara

One more statistics

Another interesting statistics from Business World.
Every year in India 110 Billon cigarettes, 1080 Billion bidis, 9 Billion counterfeit cigarettes, 350 Million case of Alcohol, and 225 Million case of Country liquor are sold out. Along with this, tobaccos worth RS 60,000 C are sold.
Every day in India, Rs 37 C is put on lotteries, Rs 4 C in Horse race and Rs 13.5 C in online gambling.

	Annual Sales(in RS)	Growth	Global Market (in $)
Tobacco	1, 58,000 C	32	485 Billion
Alcohol	6,000 C	9-10	1 Trillion
Gambling	1,00,000 C		240 Billion

Instead of starting IT Company, if we start a gambling company we can easily succeed.

Inflation

Its now my turn to talk abt inflation. In Bangalore Neither my office canteen nor the hotels that I eat haven't increased the price in the last 9-10 months, so I didn't have any big idea on the price rise. But last weekend I was in Chennai and I was totally shocked to see the price rise. When we are in Chennai, we used to eat in a small hotel, the food is of good quality and of reasonable price. When I was there last saturday,I saw a strange poster at the entrance of the hotel, justifying the price hike.

Item	Dec 2007	April 2008
Gas	900	1100
Ponni Raw Rice	15	21
Cooking Oil	38	65
Idly Rice	11	16
Maida	16	20
Wheat Flour	19	26

After reading this I was bit shocked. I have to thank the hotel owner for not increasing the price too much.
Also we went to Vasantha Bhavan namma vedu (vadpalani). We are charged 106 INR for 2 podi dosa , 2 coffee and 1 set curd vadai. I never expected this amount for what we ate. Govt must do some thing to control this .

Thanks to...........

In Karnataka,Ever time when there is problem between TN and Karnataka, Tamil Cable Channels and Tamil Movies will become the first victim. 2 days back some organization has called for blocking of all the Tamil channels and movies in Karanataka. But this time they could only block the movies and not the cable channel. The cable operators haven't agreed to block Tamil Channels. I don't think that the cable operators acted towards the nations interest, but its only on behalf of their own interest.
Of the entire Bangalore population, I assume 15-20% are Tamil speaking people. In the past, Cable operators are the only source for the satelite TV, the channels that we view are at their mercy. If they block a channel, we have to wait until the operator brings back the channel. But now we have got DTH. Already DTH is gaining good ground in the country. If the cable operators have blocked Tamil Channels, then most of the Tamil speaking people would have moved to DTH. If we Consider the total Population of Bangalore is around 1C, then at least 10-20L are Tamil speaking people. Even if 50% of them move to DTH, then this will have a huge impact on Cable TV Operators. So all the Tamil Speaking people here should thank DTH.

The lesson that I learnt from this is, in business forget all your sentiments.

ஓ பக்கம்

In this week Anatha vikitan's "ஓ பக்கம்" Ganni wrote something about Narendramodi. I actually can't understand whether he is supporting or against Modi/BJP ?. He says "even though thelka and other news paper exposed Modi's involvement in some murder and 2002 riots people elected him. The educated people didn't care about those reports since they are most benefited in his government and voted for him". This clearly tells one thing, Modi did lot of development work on his state which made the ppl to forget all those allegations.

I have some questions for the so called secular parties in India. Don't they see caste/religion when they select a candidate for election. If the secular parties are really secular what stops them from implementing uniform civil code across the country. The communist party of Westbengal which cannot protect Taslima nasrin in kolkatta, should not talk about hindutva. If BJP is appeasing Hindu's then other secular parties are playing with minorites.

The Raise of BJP in TN

Like other Tamilian's, I'm a strong supporter of Dravidain Parties (DMK, AIADMK, MDMK, DMDK). Once again, like a common Tamilian, I might change a my support between these parties(and not outside these parties). Even though BJP don't have a strong presence/leader in TN, I feel the party is slowly gaining its momentum in the state. Thanks to the ruling govt(both state and center) policies. In Tamil Nadu, all the religions live in Harmony (atleast when compared to other states), But now I personally feel there is a big divide between Hindus and other Abrahamic religion . It could be even my personal feeling, but I could see the same among lot of people in my age group. Hindus have the feeling that the govt is caring only for the minorites and the minorities have the feeling that they are being oppressed by Hindus, I don't know which is true or I'm not arguing for a particular side. But I'm worried about the communal hormany of my state. Most of my Hindu friends openly support BJP, which I feel as big gain for BJP. Previously BJP was believed as Bramanical party in TN, but now ppl see it as Hindu party. If this trend continues eventhough BJP might not get in power during next election, but in another 10 to 15 years BJP will be have a decent(or even strong) presence in Tamil Nadu.

For the past few months I restricted myself from writing any thing about political party and politics. But now I'm back in track.
1. Rural Service for MB BS Student.
At the age of 17/18 normally students join in the medical college. Current duration of the course is 5.5 years, so at the age of 23/24 they complete their studies. Nowadays Just MB BS is not enough either MD , MS or some other Master degree is needed, for which another 1 or 2 years required. So at the age of 25/26 only they can earn. If the govt makes 2 years rural service mandatory then only at the age of 27/28 they can start to earn. Govt says they will be providing 8k as a salary for the 2 years. In today's market, a fresh engineering graduate can earn even 25k/month and after 2 years of experience his salary would be more than 50k. For a doctor's it takes years earn 50k/month. The central govt is purely behaving like an American corporate.
They want to all the villages to have hospitals with doctors but not ready to spend money.
Our Honorable Health minister has said, after completing his MB BS he worked in a village for 2 years. I really appreciate you intrest Mr.Anbumani. But look at the fact, not all the MB BS students father runs a political party to make their son an union health minister after completing their rural service. If every MB BS students father owns a political party, then the Rajayashaba should have more that 200000 seat and every year it should be increasing and every year 20,000 new health ministers will be in the union cabinet.
If the govt really wants to improve the health infrastructure across the country then
1. Construct Hospitals/Primary health care centers in all the villages across the country. There are some villages in India which even don't have primary health care center.
2. Fill all the vacancies. If there is vacancies in reserved quto then make it as open
3. Nationalise all the Medical colleges (Engineering colleges also)
4. Control the charges in private hospitals
5. At least one govt hospital in every district should have the MRI facility, ability to do open heart and by pass surgery.
6. Control the drug price
7. Our govt spends lots of money in various studies, i will suggest one such studies which will surely help our medical infrastructure. Send a team to Cuba to study how the medical infrastructure is working there.

If the govt implement all these things (at least half of these points) surely not only rural India, but the entire India's Medical infrastructure will be on of the best in the world

Using caste as a shield to face is problem is a character of Coward. I'm not pointing at any one and saying this. Its just my opinion.

2. Child Labours:
As per Wikipedia the definition for child labour is"Child labor is the employment of children under an age determined by law or custom. This practice is considered exploitative by many countries and international organizations."
In India the minimum age is 14 years. If 14 years is the cut off limit then how the advertisement industry and Motion picture industry can employ children below the age of 14. I don't know the legal aspect behind it, but still if acting is a valid profession then, motion pictures and adflims employing children below the age of 14 should prosecuted under the child labour law. Its just my thought

3. DMK youth conference:
This month DMK is conducting a Huge youth conference in Tirunelveli. Most of the advertisement that i came across for this says,all the youths come to this meeting. Why suddenly DMK started to give attention towards youths?. Some magazine say that Mr.Karunadhi will hand over the power to his son Stalin and after this meeting stalin will be declared as the CM of Tamil Nadu ( India is a not ruled by any king. Its still a domocartic country). But I don't agree with that. Mr.Karunanidhi will be the CM/DMK Chief until he is alive. I think the reason for this Meeting is DMDK ( i believe its Vijayakanth's party). Last september they had the annual meeting at Pudukkottai (My home town). One thing that surprised me was the crowd. More than 70% of the participants are in age group 25-35. I have seen some political party meeting where most of them are middle aged or old village men and women in dothi and sarees. But the DMDK meeting totally surprised me. I could see less number of Middle aged and old peoples. Rest are youth and most of them wore Pant shirt which is not common in a political party meeting. I believe that this DMDK meeting is the reason behind the Current DMK youth meeting. In other words, DMK is worried about the DMDK's growth.

4.உபதேசம் உலகத்திர்கே:
A political leader and head of political party in Tamil Nadu, has always opposed plan by the state government to create SEZ and expansion of airport, saying that farmlands will be acquired for this and agriculture would be affected. He behaved (acted) like he will not allow any farmland to be converted to SEZ or any other industry. Today one of the senior minister from Tamil Nadu have given the proof to the media that the college that the political party leader runs for the past 15 years ( I'm not sure about number of years) is constructed over fertile farmland and encroached land. What does the leader say now.

Some Truths

The Story of Stuff - Know the facts of the products around you. Must see website for all. (watch it with audio)

What's Happening

Yesterday some Indian communist leader has said,collaborate with China for generating Power. I don't know what's wrong with Indian communist Party. Are they talking with sense?. If India does something like that, then that will be best example for "சொந்தத ேசலவில் சூனியம்"

Second Incident, Some Central govt agencies has said in the supreme court that there is no historical proof for the existence of Lord Ram or Ramsethu. I doubt at Census report claims that India has 80+ crore of people following Hindu religion

MTC goes hightech. MTC has accquired AC volvo buses to operate in chennai. In our college days we used to say some phrase, the same applies here.

சுல்தான ேசாத்துக்கு சிங்கி அடிக்கிறார்
குதிரைக்கு Goldspot ேகக்குதா. The person who gave this idea should travel in 59 or 159 during the peak hours ( 7.30 Am to 10.30 AM). MTC buses are to serve the middle class and Lower class people, Instead of Introducing new Volvo Buses, maintain the existing fleets properly. If all the buses are Utilized properly most of the problems will be solved.

Some Questions?

1. Few months back, some Hindu union stromed in a college ,they manhandled the professor & thrashed the student there,for alleged obscene paintings. Communist and DK peoples raised their voices against it.
When now Taslima Nasrin is attaked, Why they are keeping silent?

2. My second question, Why communist in West Bengal banned Taslima Nasrin's Book, when they say they are secular?

3.My Third Question, I believe that, Tamil literature society is more open and any one can write about any thing, but still why Taslima Nasrin's books are not translated in Tamil (When i searched in the net, I can find that her books are translated in many south Indian languages but not in Tamil)

4. The UP state govt plans to introduce reservation in pvt sector to. The reservation will be in 3 categories, SC/ST, OBC and Financially backward OC's.
Here is my Question, How the govt will find the Financially backward OC's and do they get a separate caste certificate?

5. Will Tata's TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide) plant will come to Tuticorin or not?

Anybuddy please answer my questions.

Any one please answer me,

Why?

I don't understand some peculiar behaviour with our people.
If this article hurts some one, iam sorry.I cant do any thing for that. I just expressing my concern about the society.
For hundreds of year there was social discrimination existed in India, even today in some parts. People in all the sects of the society are improving a lot. As the society developed almost in most of the town and big panchyat unions most of the children got education(not all). One behaviour was found among the backward caste students. The started to hate the FC. They claim that their great grand father was treated like a worm by the fc's. of course this is a fact, but they are not treated like that, the same backward caste students get more benefit from the society starting from school fees to employment reservation. But still they have hart ed feelings towards fc's. They are ready to show love towards Americans, who 30 years ago joined with pakistan and tried to destroy India, but not with the fellow countrymen who didn't treat them equally 100 years ago. I dont understand the reason why.
When Dr.BR Ambedkars statue was broken, there was big riot, do any one of the rioters know what Dr.BR Ambedkar said. The other sad part here is the educated people are not encouraging the illiterates to study. They demand for quota level to be raised in IIT and IIM, but not in the school and elementry level. This means only educated backward caste members will be benefited, but the poor and the needy still remain the same, they can simply say we have this much % of seats reserved for us, but actually do their son or daughter can study there.


Why iam writing this article - i came across a posting on orkut,posted by SW engineer, who says fcs should be removed from the country. Here come the highlight he is posting it from UK.
