Amaziiiiiiiiing Goverment

Air India is in trouble now. It is seeking some 20000 crore bailout from government of India. It is well understood that who are responsible for it. Interesting news I read about government officials who travel on government expenses is all of them have to travel by Air India for their official visits. So government is making sure some financial retrieval of AI. How much this will help them that is the million dollar question. First they bled it by all possible means and now useless covering is going on. And just because some are government servants they have to abide by rules, just to save AI.

One PSU is in danger and government had taken this decision, what would happen if other PSUs also start to seek bailout. I assure you that it will be great to observe that situation. Just imagine Hindustan Latex is in financial trouble. So what next……………..???? In order to increase the sales, government will make mandatory to its employees to use only Latex ltd. made products like condoms and it will request its citizens to do the same (they will appeal as responsible citizens of this country). I am sure this will be a perfect mess. No choice in that case. Life will be full of colourful balloons. Government will come out with some paper giving clear guidelines about the product use features based upon its inventory. What should be on Monday, Tuesday….etc. I guess in that case Saturday will be half day….. Very good… and Sunday…a holiday…much better. And people will say, oh god tomorrow its Monday again with same product…….

Sp its easy to understand why weekends are so important in married life…..

So what else we can do…… I think we should pray that our PSUs perform better.

Governanance of ISRO

Indian ISRO launched a moon mission way back and even it is on the verge of collapse prior to its scheduled date. It was really a great experience for the country that we launched a mission which proved our strength in space technology. The risk factors involved in such missions are high. Space equipments have to be controlled from thousands of Kilometres and it is not a simple thing for a commoner like me. Missions result in success or in failure. Success is always admired but failures create problems for an organisation in terms of belief.

Historically, developed nations have kept failures as secretes. They never disclosed it in early stages. But ISRO admitted technical difficulties in its moon mission. The programme was scheduled for 2 years but now it is feared that after 8 months of its launch it may not function properly. ISRO like others could have admitted this truth later prior to its end but it went public and told the truth about the mission to citizens.

Indian technical expertise has always been a question for Indians only and such failures may add fuel to it. But what is important here is ISRO’s immediate statement. I think it was really a courageous step taken by them. ISRO didn’t feel the guilt about it. Confession from Indian PSU is a rare thing and ISRO proved its transparent governance policy.

Our country has always faith in ISRO and it will remain as it is. I believe that true organisations are enough capable to sustain such shocks. ISRO will come out of this.

All the best to ISRO for all future space programmes.

Family Balance for Homosexuals

I heard the recent judgement given by the Hon’ble Delhi HC regarding to Gay Rights. The HC protected the basic rights of human being of India irrespective of their sexual orientation. At least now onwards the gay community can leave a peaceful life in India. I am glad that this group were assured of their fundamental rights. Well one thing I must clear, though I say it is a well decision that definitely does not mean that I belong to that group. My only intention to write this is to realise us about the basic nature of our constitution. Our Hon’ble constitution itself gives guidelines about the fundamental rights of people of India and their protection is the duty of law making bodies. Laws should be clear enough to avoid the confusion about interpretation of constitutional guidelines.

I just gave a thought about this and I found few interesting things. If same sex marriages are allowed then one thing is for sure, population growth will be in control. But they also will expect to have babies. They know naturally it is not possible then what??? I have a good suggestion. In our big country with huge population there are lots of orphans who need deserved shelter and proper parental care. So these couples can adopt them. It will be a great help for both i.e. couples and children.

I guess, if this happens then it will be a good step towards social modernisation in our country. Think about this.
