Food Bill

Our government is supposed to provide the infrastructure so that they produce/encourage entrepreneurs in the country. That is what they tried doing in the initial years of independence. They could not succeed to the expectations/needs of the country.
They started rolling out rojgar yojana's where they tried to produce/encourage more employees. They could not succeed on that too.
Now they started rolling out free/lowcost food plans. What are they producing/encouraging? more beggers??? Or the leeches sticking to the so called poor to eat all the money in the government distribution system?
Instead of giving money/food they should empower the poor to earn for themselves.
This is due to the mistake of the educated/learned who do not even have an vote. Whey would they care about the population which does not have a vote (I am one of the culprits) even if they understand their plans behind the plans being rolled out?

ATM slips

Once I entered an ATM near my place, I found the entire floor full of the ATM slips. I desperately wanted to take a photo and post it, but thought we should not be taking photographs in ATMs.

Why people need to print the ATM slip? To me there are 2 reasonable situations:
1. You are on a foreign trip and need the advice for the conversion proof.
2. You doubt it might give you a wrong amount and deduct a higher amount from your account.

In both the situations, you need to take the advice home with you, but not throw it in the bin next to the ATM machine.

Please use the following options instead:
1. To my knowledge, if you update the proper mobile number, you will be getting an SMS to your mobile, immediately after you do the withdrawal. This will help you get rid of the 2nd situation.
2. There is an option in every ATM transaction which asks you, do you need a printed advice? Please select "NO". This will help you get rid of generation of the advice itself instead of throwing it in the bin.

Also, if someone gets your transaction advice, he will know the balance in your account. I do not think you would want someone to know that.

Alternate Vacation

What people do for a vacation?

Everybody has their own way of enjoying vacation. If we enjoy a trek once, then we enjoy lazy time at home the other time.

We also do some adventure sports etc. some other times for vacation. What if we are allowed to have a vacation of living some others' life?

How do a day spent as

A public transport bus conductor,
A public transport bus driver,
A ticket counter person,
A traffic controller in a busy junction,
A hospital nurse,
A receptionist,
Any job that we take for granted

make us feel?


They will help us understand how tough these jobs are. How responsible these people are.

This will help us understand how tough are many things that we take for granted.
These vacations might change your perspective of life and how we see our surroundings ...

One good business plan

I am spending some time these days thinking about some good business plans.

One thought that came to my mind is to rent cycles from bagmane to the metro station and return.
Morning from metro to bagmane and evening return. Only thing to plan is how to make good use of the same during the day time.

This may not give good returns. So, can be taken up by either an unemployed or by the bagmane itself.

Internet explorer 9

I am a techie ...

I love to know new developments in technology. There are about 30 applications installed in my laptop. I dont use many of them to their capacity. I rarely use some of them. But, once in a while, I take time to update them to check any new features added.

I have always found all the applications in my vista laptop to be very slow. There are 2 reasons for this. One vista itself and second my laptop's configuration.

Over the past I have felt one application which is very slow to start/respond. IE. I started using other browsers which are relatively faster.

After I have installed IE9 update, it was a miracle. I click on the icon, and it opens in less than a second, and its ready.

I love this IE. Thanks to MS.

the LHC experiment

Two things, completely opposite, but in my feeling very much related, that always attracted me were astronomy and particle physics.
I have always felt the matter's division into elementary particles has got no limit. Similarly I feel there is no end to finding out the end of the universe.
Leaving these things aside, lets hope the particle physicists reach the next level with their experiments on the LHC.
I did not study much after schooling on the particle physics. This experiment encouraged me to read some articles on wiki and get my knowledge updated to some extent.

first post

I have got many topics in my blogger. But they turn out specific to some thing.
I wanted to have a generic page to put my random thoughts in.
I am starting this on 1st april. Hope I dont make a fool of myself.
Wish me happy blogging.
