Ideas 15.3.09

 

Since last Oscar Ceremony India particularly slum India and Rural India got the attention of the World at large. Slumdog Millionaire and Smile Pinki the two plots are the required tickets t our India, the slum and rural India.

 

While roaming through the dusty bylanes and the beten tracks of the sub-urabn and the countrysied nearby the place I reside I am now on look out of such plots, such charatcters, I am deeply observing every nook and corner of the places I happen to visit on my official tour etc to ferret out the unique characters, situations to be a good potrayal object. At least some plots will definitely fit for the generalised blogs. Even specialised blogs can also be fed with some of the rural plots.There are a lot of activities waiting to be captured by photoclicks and put togather in shape of one story are aboud. Just to find out the time and place and separate the special characters and fabricate into one full story.

Dateline Orissa

For three days from 11th march there is a raucous in Orissa now. The support base of the ruling party, the BJD, has since been weakened after the withdrawal of support of its allied partner BJP. I was unknown t this dispute until I got a sneak in one of the popular newspapers one day morning and from the net. I thought it as a ploy of the

Congress the main opposition Party ad the BJP which tries to prove its significance to make the Govt. survive.

To-day I went through one of the article in Indian Express, by one Goa Assembly Secretary. It has analysed the issue in its entirety considering all the aspects, the role of HH Governor, the speaker, and the beleaguered CM. First of all, he clarifies, The Governor should not ask for any trial of strength at this time when the term is about to end in three months and Madel code of conduct due to the ensuing elections is full in force and the Govt. discharges only the bureaucratic role. Secondly the Speaker instead of recording the vote opted I mean ordered for voice vote. Why he did not want to record? To evade the identification of defectors from the BJP? And why does the CM , more beleaguered now a days, shy of facing a recorded vote?

Dear Naveen Patnaik, we confess we are charmed so far by your sagacity and alacrity, care to reply and face the vote.

Ruminations

 

Elections for the15th Lokasabha has, as expected for some days before, been announced abruptly on 2nd Mar 09 as I am home. Some office works that required to be finalised before the election process gets started is still undone. BDO as well as dev. clerk is seemd to be xtremely busy in writing some 100 work orders overnight on the recommendations of the peoples representatives. What a situation!

 

On elections, commenting in Business Standard newspapers editors have remarked some vital observations. For some days there is a growing debate about the efficacy of parliamentary democracy in India. Considering the diversity in social, economical geographical persepectives the comment argues that the so called presidential system that requires that the vast power is concentrated in one hand is not suitable in India, insted the power needs to be diversified/ devolved into verious hands selected democratically. For the clear grasp of the points see Business Standard 5.3.09

But fervently believe decision making process that is seen in a democracy in India is too tardy , unbeilivably slow which make us loose the edge. Look China, the power is vested in one single hand or rather the decisions are made so fast to catapult the country to its present heights.
