Indian Politician speak- Part 1 (What media forgot to highlight)

Is Sheila Dixit the new Marie Antoinette of Indian politics:
Marie Antoinette said: “Let them eat cake.”
Sheila Dixit on huge power cut has advised the people of Delhi for conservation of power.

Her brand of conservation is "Instead of running 4 air-conditioners run 2, and if possible run 1"

The fact is majority of Delhi homes are not fitted with A-Cs, the low-income and middle-income group can not afford it. Only the upper-middle class and the rich uses that.

My request to Delhi Chief Minister is "Please think before you open your mouth". The poor are dying in juggi-jopries (slum houses), if you can not mourn, if you can not help, please at least don't ridicule them.

The Bull-shit Markets

While I was busy doing my usual chores, the goons of Fiscal market are back in the securities market all over the world. For last 3 months, they have clamouring for peoples money after being rebooting their kitty by taxpayers money.

With the exception of Bernie Madoff, no one faces a criminal charge and are being embraced by the political elite. In the mean-time industries are shedding workforce and rising unemployment should give worrying signs of socio-economic troubles.

The fact is that, this stock market recovery is a flight of fancied, which has no wings; when crude can go to $68, when only true "I will drive my car anyway" economy, the US is in tatters and GM is getting bankrupt and jobloses seem like never ending streams, the share market rises are purely speculative.

These are fictional assets which can be evaporated at one bad quarter. Watch out for quarter end results!!!!

Climate change and Monsoon

The Change in Monsoon Rain patterns is immense this year; The Indian Met offices laughable prediction of 96% monsoon driven rainfall is becoming truly incorrect.

The driving factors of global climate are:
  • Anti-cyclones in the polar region: The ones in stretching from Antarctic to 40Th Parallel is disturbing the major accumulation of rain-clouds of the Somalia coast which comes down to Indian sub-continent as Monsoon in May to September each year. It is shearing off the clouds once every week as one anti-cyclone dissipates and another emerges in oceans south of Africa.

  • Second factor are the anti-cyclones which are being created in the pacific, they are creating weather fronts which is picking water vapor from South China Sea and their strong pull is increasing the Mean Wind speed of Monsoon wind and driving the wind straight in an easterly direction in Bay of Bengal and pushing it across Andaman Sea into Thailand & Burma.

  • Third factor is the weather of north India is being bombarded by “western disturbance” even in June (They are usually found in January to March), which is causing another change in wind shear patterns.

    From the satellite pictures you might see rain clouds over Bangladesh and say monsoon has arrived, but a look into convergence detail and wind directions will tell you the clouds are going out to the bay and over to Burma.

    Monsoon Winds in Northern Hemisphere are moving westerly (from the west to east direction), Period. Monsoon this year is not being freaky but setting the standards in warmer climate for years to come.

    So storms 1B (Bijli) and 2B(Aila) will be repeated every year with more to come. Indian government should prepare itself for a special deadly mix of Drought and Cyclones.

Vote is over - Let the children play now

Everybody will be claiming a peaceful election is over. So what if many dozen people were killed in these election. Armed conflict between different parties not withstanding, the Election commission will claim it and we the people of India will grant it to them anyway.

From 1.18 billion, the 542 super men & super women will be elected by May 16. The game that they will be invited to play is "coalition scrabble" . Shame on us for being stupid bystanders.

I have not voted, but spent the day reading the constitution all over again.
Countrymen, please read it.

Election in India 2009

We are worlds largest democracy: with 1 billion potential voters, 7 national parties, 1000 + registered parties of regional or no importance.
The most important factor is unanimous fact of every major parties' agenda (hidden or otherwise) is that they want to RULE us, grab all the power, misuse the treasury.

None of them want to represent us, be our voice.
Right now all of them are busy showing there might and not busy listening to us.

The truth is its all our fault,

  • We have never stated our issues
  • Fact is that most of us don't even know what we need to do, we are grown up to be opinion less morons who would queue up on the polling day and cast the vote.
  • When people die in pre-poll violence, we close our eyes or look the other way.
Issues are plenty-full:
We would be 1.2 billion by the next census and there are no focus on family planning and birth-control.
The male-female ratio is abnormal and alarmingly becoming worse, no party talks about that.
They advertise on billboards, as if we would buy their story. No party knows that both rural & urban India is facing population boom and resulting in rise in unemployment. Even 60 years after Independence, we still can not get the non-farm unemployment / employment data.

What is the most challenging task that we face is that in next 15 years, we need to create 300 million jobs.

But neither the people or parties are aware of these issues or does not seem to be doing anything about it.

Good thing is No party will be able to form a stable government for 5 years, I love to predict that another election is eminent in 2 years. When they come, I wish the readers of my blog will gather courage and will-power to talk about issues of national importance.
This time around:
  • No pre-poll alliance will go past 170 marks.
  • Regional & small parties will get 220 seats but will be fractured around 3/4 groups.
  • You may have 3 prime ministers in this parliament.

Prediction of Next 3 crashes

IIP figure forecasts major shock waves in the economy. Our former finance minister would say it is only some numbers (As he said about Sensex). The fall in intermediate goods production means fundamentals was wavering. The November figures would be better only for Non-durable consumer goods but might not take it to September levels.
IT results of 3rd quarter will be a desaster and many SME's in IT and ITES will be wiped out. Major layoffs are already on the cards. Expect major FII outflow in the 3rd week of January. First Crash (Sensex around 7500 -7800).
February 2nd week (after poor Dec IIP data) second mini crash (Sensex around 6700-7200).
April - May 2009, official acknowledgement of poor Growth (0.6 to 3.2 Max).
I don't want to predict where sensex would be.
I sincerely hope I am wrong this time.

Lack of truth : Don't buy the 10 terrorist theory

We need the truth from investigative agencies and we are not getting that.The truth is there were more than 10 terrorists. I can prove that:according to the chronology depicted in the ndtv site there were 10 sites (and nobody disputes that).
Now the arithmatic given is, 4 went to Taj, after doing carnage at Leo's. 2 went to Nariman House, 2 went to Oberoi.
That means 4 places and 8 terrorists accounted for. We know there were 2 at CST.
We also know the only CST terrorists moved out,So only they did rest of the firing.
10:15 at Cama hospital
10:30 at Metro Cinema
10:50 at Girgaum chowpatty.
and there they had the final encounter.
Upto this all incidents are accounted for,but we are forgetting the Taxi blast at Ville parle at 9:55 and the incident at Wadi bunder at 10:45.
Therefore it is proved that there had to be more than 10 terrorists.

Bad news is: Are they still free or had they fled to Pakistan.
Please raise your voice against lack of transparency.
