When India and US are trying to put the ball in each other's court for the current global crisis of high food prices and oil pices , surprisingly me ,an Indian thinks that India is responsible ... but not as US shows us .. in a different perspective ..
The simple law of economics says as demand increases supply should increase and if supply wouldn't increase then demand has to go down .. Now as the crude oil price goes on increasing , our government is tryin to shield us from the high price by providing us subsidy .. this subsidy is allowing to keep the demand high and as the supply is not increasing the price is rising .. due to ths subsidy RBI is trying to compensate this by priniting more paper money and hence too much money runnning for not so high products . putting the infaltion bug-bear in full throttle ...
US says India and China are responsible for food price increase as they are consuming much more because of their growth .. i am unable to find any base on this argumnet .. but I would say as India is playing its part in global price increase through hoading .. in order to curb inflation government has banned the export of food grain and thus the artificial hoarding is making the global food price high ...
think about this as the oil price is high the OPEC and oil rich countries are not willing to drill more oil and are also doing the same thing what India is doing for food ..
Hence for the "invsible hand" of economics to come true and make everything as usual we should make our market complete free .. a "laissez-faire " approach .. which will make all of us to become more responsible for what we are spending ..and doing .. and not make responsible government for everything .. austerity hence is the call ....

From Mumbai .. Day three
For last two days I hav been travelling through the second class compartment of Mumbai Local ...ansd have been thinking what's making these people not feeling irritated and what's making them going on and on ... Sum will say we dont complain because if we will complain who will feed our family ... But the real answer .. I have got today .. on day three ..
As always I got into the second class compartment by pushing every other on my way to Churchgate .. Suddenly jai hanumaan sound was heard . i didnt try to figure out where it was coming as it would be a foolish attempt to do so .. Everyone in the compartment was singing and praying .. KIRTAN was going on .. Jai jagadish hare .. then Jai Hanuman gyan gun sagar . followed . everyone singing praising the lord ..
Bhaktton janoo ke sankat khana mein dur karoon .. om swami jai jagadish hare ..
this alone was able to life my mood also ..I was feeling rejuvenated .. my glucose level in my blood became high ... and I was no longer feeling the same .. dull and irritated ...
and after 15 minutes kirtan , the prasad was distributed in the compartment .. noone knew anyone .. but everyone was saying please take the "bhog" and was waiving their palm above them so that others could take a bit .. everyone was there for evryone . even though noone was there for anyone ..
This may not be the daily scene at the compartment .. but isnt this can be the tonic for the whole week ahead ?
SALAAM BOMBAY ....

Copy Paste Thoughts
'Ill fares the land, to hastening ill a prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay;
Princes and Lords may flourish, or may fade;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their country's pride,
When once destroyed can never be supplied.
:-
by Oliver Goldsmith

From Mumbai ...Day one ...
I am writing this blog from Mumbai .. On my only 2 days in Mumbai , I am quite fed-up with the hectic life .. the rush for local train and the traffic.... While I was standing in the train one thought came to me .. the thought why Mumbai is like Mumbai and as the population will keep on increasing what will happen to Mumbai . can it sustain or explode ..
The solution to this problem may be to create more Mumbai at every corner of India .. As the unemployment ,corrupt politicians and bureacracy grappple rest of India , many part of India remain in darker side .. people from those parts migrate to Mumbai for greene pastures and Mumbai suffers . it's the greatness of Mumbaikars to make every alien a Mumbaikar and shower Spirit Of Mumbai ...
But it's for the betterment of Mumbai and whole India , we should learn from the Mumbaikars ..... how to create a plenty of Mumbais all over India with the same spirit ,same coherence of One Indianness among multiple diversity ... The 8%-9% growth story shouldn't be confined .. it should reach Kalahandi , Royalseema and rest part of India ..

Arise , awake and Run..
Every morning in Africa , a gazelle wakes up .It knows it must run faster than the faster lion or it will be killed
Every morning a lion wakes up .It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death
It does not matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle When the sun comes up ,you better start running

a missed oportunity .......
For me one of the blunders during my UCE was the missed oportunity to be a sincere part in the upliftment of Kirba ..
I would like to thank Mr Sanjaya Sathua and Mr Rupesh Tiwari to make me agree to go and teach in the evening at Kirba School .. Education is the only way for bringing the destitutes of society to main stream .. and if western Orissa is still far behind the main stream growth .. then it has to do mainly with their ignorance and superstition .. (It was the place where government has to set-up another hydro powerplant at chipilima after Hirakud just to show the people that generating electricity doesn't make the water unsuitable for use ) and all the conversion propaganda going at that place only justifies my statement ..
I should have devoted whole of my leisure time there .... for the education of Kirba village .. to show them the light of which none should be debarred ... and to make them part of "Ignited minds" of Kalam .......

Shaktimaaan and Kilbish
On my high-school days , one of the most succesfull serial on doordarshan was "Shaktimaaan" ..
Words like "Sorry Shaktimaan" and "andhera kayam rahe " was the buzz .. Every Satday morning there would be a tension surrmounting on me .. how not to miss today's Shaktimaan .. though the serial was being telecasted once again in tuesday night .. but the zeal of watching on Satday was much more ..
As for Tuesday's night show ... parents wouldn't allow to watch it ... But most important reason for watching on Satday was if u miss the show u are in the "Bhondu " side .. The person in our friend's circle who would miss Satday's show would listen from rest of the person and he was the "Bhondu" of the week ...
and everyone tried not to be in that side ...
But the main point was that .... Shaktimaan tought me lots of things which my Social studies and history book couldn't teach .. loving the mother nature and understanding the power within ourselves .. was the main theme .... and Kilbish still remains for me the dark... the harbinger of dooms' day ....
Though revolving round and round like Shakrimaan resulted in lots of suicide cases at that time and which were the matter of hot disussion in our parliament also .. but for me my halcyon days were really blessed with a perfect role-model like Shaktimaan ... which I feel the age of computer games surely misses ... (not sure if the repeat episodes of Shaktimaan will bring same amount of enthusiasms among teenagers now ..)
But if MunnaBhai can rekindle Gandhigiri then why cann't the Shaktimaaan ..........
