Answering to questions from Editor in chief of News channel, SRK answers like this, some educated and modern Muslim people like him, should spread the message of real Muslim value is and what it means. So that every one understand.
During Dr. Manmohan Singh’s visit to US, the then president Mr. Bush used the following words to introduce Singh to first lady, Mr.Singh is the prime minister for a country where there are 150 million muslims but no one is Taliban. The editor asked SRK about being second largest country based on Muslim population, how Indian muslims are different from them in Pakistan or Afganistan. SRK replied that Indians basically understanding and adjustable people. True !! Very True !!….

Do you know the top political issue?

Look at the arguments,
01. Congress would not share the stage with some one who endorse Modi…
Big B endorses tourism for Gujarat, he does not endorse Modi
Lot of industrialist said that Modi is PM material, did congress avoid inviting them or sharing the dias with them
02. AB is father’s son so what is wrong is removing his video and posters from the Earth day celebration and web site in WWF…
- How can they act on the child when they have misunderstanding with his father. Its very childish act of congress. Then, we can drive relationship with Varun and Rahul…
03. Comparing BIG B with Industrialist is like comparing Apples and oranges…
- Because any attack on BIG B creates publicity for free, while no attack on Industrialist bring money
04. Congress is TALIBAN says Modi…
-Mr. CM, what do we say about 2002 riots where thousands of people died, is that not TALIBANIsm
-Mr. CM, what do we say when people shared sweets after each tomb of Babri Mosque brought down, are they Talibans

Can some MBA or public administration inititute take summer class or camps to educate these politicans and show them what their role towards development politics is all about.

Building Taj Mahal

Last week, was watching in some informatics channel a documentary of how taj mahal was build. Its pure engineering, nothing more or less. It is great building stand tall for engineers to come and learn. In a age which don't enjoy as much as we do now with machines, automation, tools, it is amazed to see what could imagination of one person, dedication of thousand crafts men, turn into a building. Starting from the foundation of the building, where hundreds of huge column were made and filled with sand so as to create a structure, which could stand strong on the banks of Yamuna River. Moving the marble stones from Rajasthan to Agra could not be easy task. I was surprised to listen that the great emperor created artificial famine in Agra so that he could divert all food supplies to support the work force there. In the fast moving world could we create a wonder, which will stand tall for centuries to come? I doubt? Only time have to tell us

Modi appears before SIT

No one in India could have forgotten the 2002 Gujarat communal riots. Its shame in our Indian History. Till now, there were no strong actions. Law is taking its own time to give its verdict. But there is no shortage for News. Till last week it was congress and Media talking about Modi not apearing before SIT and they had their own assumption, now this week, its Modi talking about his heroism, nothing big , he just appeared before supreme court appointed Special Investigation Team. Only in India appearing before court, getting arrested become headlines. Nothing to teach, media is not bulding its own assumption about what could have SIT asked Modi..etc.,
Oh Well, we still haven't heard the judgement. why are we are allowing media trial to happen and giving corrupt / criminal politicians a chance to get political publicity

Is Bhagat Singh as a terrorist ? ......

Just i came across in net 'Congress projected Bhagat Singh as a terrorist'.....How rediculous is that ......When i read books or watch movies related to Bhagat singh, i m impressed. It was breathtaking experiance to understand the great contributions of Bhagat singh and his friends. But when i look around, there was no much talk on what these heros did. Indian National Congress always underplay or ignore the contributions of reveluntornary leaders like Bhagat singh or Subash chandra bose. No one could deny the fact that the Gandhi and Indian National congress led the freedom movement, but so as Bhagat Singh. These leaders should be treated beyond politics. It was Indian National congress or its leadership failed to create ONE INDIA, they cause the India - Pakistan seperation. But these leaders worked out a plan which brought us Free India....If asked for my rating, i would rate Bhagat Singh as no 1.

Stephen court- Kolkata Inferno

It was yet another shocking incident, which claimed 24 innocent life, 20 missing, 14 hospitalized when 6th floor of Kolkata’s famous 80 yrs old Stephen court got into fire. No proper exist, doors are locked, storage in the terrace, fire engines came late, no water on fire engines, no proper wooden ladder for rescue operations, fire hose could not reach the fire spot, people jumped from the 6th or 5th floors. Yeah, it is same story, which we heard after Bangalore’s corton building fire last month. No Lesson learnt? Government is going to conduct enquiry and give compensation. Already political parties started blaming each other. Oh, Well, GOD Please save us.

Historical US Healthcare bill

US passes landmark health insurance law, which means US on a par with Europe. Most Americans will now be required to have health insurance or pay a fine. Larger employers will be required to provide coverage or risk financial penalties. The self-employed will get health cover at reasonable costs. Total individual out of pocket expenses will be capped and insurers will be barred from denying coverage based on gender or pre-existing conditions. Let us level power to Americans to decide whether the bill will overhaul the 40 years old healthcare policies of US. However, couple of thoughts on how a bill hit India. Indian IT stands to benefits from US healthcare reforms specially BPOs handling insurance clams says a leading Indian daily. The reforms will bring 32 million poor and emigrant Americans under insurance cover. Insurance firms will look at the outsourcing partners to help them enroll new members and process their call and claim needs. Raising cost pressures will force insurers and hospitals to concentrate only on a few core functions such as benefits and services design, sales and marketing, while outsourcing back-office functions like member database management, claims processing, support services and enrolment processing. This also brings huge opportunities for medical transcription provides as electronic health records (EHRs) implementation is likely to undergo some changes, paper records to electronic ones. Obama already apportioned $37 billion of stimulus funding for this. McKinsey estimates the growth of EHRs would require overall spend of $175 billion over next 10 years. US hospital would need some support to implement this system. It looks like, this Healthcare bill expected to take care of Indian IT sector health also.

Retreating Glaciers

Melting of Greenland glaciers get 80% faster. Alaska glaciers are melting 30% faster. The glaciers are retreating at faster pace then before. This is shocking statistics.
Lot of ice bodies turned down resulting in increase in the sea level. Let us see what happens when sea level raise by 7 meters. Florida would be worst hit, most part of Brittan would have gone, and lot of costal areas of other continents would have gone underwater. If we see past history of 1000 years, the landscape was carved by nature. Our human intelligence towards overwriting nature and the quest of faster growth & comfort accelerated the natural disaster. When technology or innovation happens focusing only on betterment of human race, lose its focus on what damage it creates to the environment. We don’t realize that in parallel to our growth / human development, we create enough damage to earth. When we look back what we did, are we looking ahead of handing over safe place to the generations to come? Are they going to pay for the damages we have created? Let us think!

India and Racism

Don't we have racism in India ? Do we treat everyone equal irrespective of color or cast or religion ? Do we give opportunities to everyone based on the credits only ?
Answer to all the question is a BIG NO.........
I, myself felt the racial discrimination due to color or region i belong to. We see lot of political pressure and media focus on Ozs for Racial attacks in auz. But why are we slient towards what is happening within India. Political parties give tickets based on cast vote bank. There are lot of placed where a Black skin gets you nothing, even if you have credits. We have importance to skin color and pple do have assumptions to white skins and black skins. We have proof of fairness cream ads and their sales figure shows how crazy are we towards white skin. We need to replace cast or color or region based systems to credit based system. why are we lacking in it. There are lot of places in UP, Bihar, Orrisa, Tamilnadu where still discrimination against cast previels. We have systems in place, which don't work for the needy. We need a big Overhaul. Biggest Democracy won't work when half of its stakeholders / people don't participate.
When i think of myself, even after getting engineering degree, moving fast in career ladder and with a happy family, i have to struggle to come out of racisial attacks. I often dont listen to them or in other words ignore them, sometimes i treat them as a Jock. But that does not mean that there is no racism. Often pple tease me with my skin color or the state i belong to.
But it take lot of courage and self confidence to overcome these racist and prove to the world that credit matters and human values win over skin color. It is not a single persons journey, this need to be a mass movement to make everyone to see beyond the color, cast, region or religion.

All Is WELL

Just watched "3 idiots" movie ....it was great and i have added in my MUST TO WATCH movie list...Every parents should watch this movie...It is simple but very true and effective messages...

There is something for every one of us and i must say friends, if you haven't seen, please watch it once.

I was thinking, if i was not told about engineering then i wouldn't be baised towards taking engineering. i m wondering, what would be my interest. There could be 2 types of people, one who choose the path they like and the others like the path they choose or shown. I m in the second catergory. I started liking the path my parents shown. Hmm....there is a place everyone what to go and i m searching that....
