My taughts for the week ending 25 July

So 1 more week has gone by...and nothing much moving in my personal life except..that my car blew up on the middle of a highway and I had to stand there for 3 hours before it got towed to a mechanic...:) some exciting stuff right.................:) ..Week end went away like a tornado...One party for my friends daughter and preparations took it all away..Phew managing a party for a gathering of 100 is sooo difficult..not sure how people do the event management for thousands..

World is still battling the economic crisis and all the industrialized countries are doing what they can to battle the crisis and really it is very difficult to judge the result now. As the famous saying goes we need to taste the pudding before we comment on the outcome and history will tell us weather what is being done is enough.

US..Washington is trying hard to push for the health care reforms and I think it is time US had those reforms in place. The bill is only half done and there is lot remaining to be done and lot of clarity is needed as to who will pay for the bill. Governor Palin will be quitting the start of next week and I really feel she should have completed her term. Any ways she is going into a personal phase of her life and I wish her all the best in what she does next and I don't think anybody except her has a clue as to what it is. California budget crisis is getting worse day by day...Hopefully the law makers will make a deal soon. House rates are down and I heard Michigan is the place which is hurting the most...They have some very good work force and I think the new hub for renewable energy like wind will be there..They have the work force which can be used in building wind mills. Next week President will be pushing hard for the Health bill and it is clear that it is the number 1 on his priority of things. I hope he succeeds. Afghanistan war one US marine got captured and I hope Army will be able to get him back..8 years into the war this is bad news for the armed forces.

India. One more milestone with the nuclear sub. Kudos to all the people who made it possible..10 years after the nuclear tests condemned by the world we got this...We need to channelize our energies in similar manner to put an Indian on the moon and then to Mars...:) Infrastructure as I always put in my blogs is important. We need good transportation and solid infrastructure for our country to compete with the industrialized world. Dr. Kalam's frisking away by Air carriers is sad to hear but the way politicians are trying to cash in frustrating. This is not the first time it is happening. Our defence minister in the NDA government got the same treatment. Which was condemned then but no steps were taken to avoid these happenings. Veggies and Dal prices are sky rocketing and we need to control these inflated prices.

Andhra pradesh new incident where a elected official got into public eye with molestation allegations. Congress and TDP have 2 different version of the same story..They need to let Police do their investigation with out any pressure and then the truth will be out. It should not be another high profile case side tracked like Actress Pratyusha and Balakrishna's cases.

So that's it for this week...All have a great week ahead...

My taughts for the week ending 18 July

Where do I begin....Last week was pretty hectic in terms of work. phew glad it is over. Hopefully the next week is really good...:) and a bit relaxing...Learning some new technologies has been really good.

US....Economy is showing signs of recovery which I am glad for but unemployment has been going to new highs which is not too good..We need more involvement from the government for us to come out of this mess...Pres. Obama is moving ahead with his health care reforms and his African journey has been delight full..I think he is stepping on multiple boats at the same time..He should concentrate on one thing first and then think about the next and his first priority should be Economy. Health care reforms I agree need to be done but they can wait for some more time...Environment can also wait for a bit more time..I agree all are very very important for us to progress in 21st century. Sec. Clinton is in her Asian tour which is good as she is touching one of the very troubled regions. India-Pakistan relations should improve for the world to be a safer place. Every one needs to realize that we need to help them attain self sufficiency in battling terrorism. I read that they are trying to move ahead in Afghanistan which is really good.

India....Mayawati's Politics are getting a little out of Hand...She needs to concentrate more on the state and congress party is definitely not helping the cause by making those remarks. Moving on Central government is planning for huge educational reforms which is not good. I feel there is a disconnect between reality and actuality..There is no power in most of the schools and we should first concentrate on getting that to the rural India before getting them computers and over that I feel the previous programmes started by the government has been really really good but they are not reaching the people properly..So we need to concentrate on Implementation rather than cooking up new plans with out the old ones not being completely implemented. One more thing is all these days we are praying for rains and once the rain came we don't have proper infrastructure to store the water and use it in a proper way. We need to get good ways to store water properly and generate electricity...

Movies Harry Porter fans had a good time I guess with the latest movie in the series..Did not get the time to see it...Bollywood no good releases this week...New york is the last good movie that has come out. It is really good.

New day tomorrow at work and I really hope it will be good. I need a few good days to complete all the things in my plate....So that's it folks....Enjoy your week.

My thoughts for week ending 11 July...

Hmmm....Last week has been pretty boring for me with regards to work...I started a new Java Project due to some Infrastructure issues things have gone slow than expected..Hope this week they pick up....Enough about work...Now to things happening around me.....

G8 leaders met in Italy and I don't think it went that well...They talked about Environment which is important but I think they should have concentrated more on Financial Issues...Its been a looong Crisis and still people are hurting around the world...

US news channels are coming out of MJ and moving to others news Items...MJ is a greatperformer and an Inspiration to a generation...but is the news of his death worth so mmuchAirtime? I saw some of his videos and he is real good. I admire him as a performer...but is it worth so much news coverage as to where he is being laid to rest? I think they should have talked more about doctors prescribing so many drugs to him. Any ways Moving on Sarah Palin resignation came out of blue and I wish she completed her term as a governer..To climb up the ladder you don't leave the work behind...Coming to Health Bill I hope it passes the Senate...Lot of people with out any health bill..Its not tooo good..Lets wish Health care will be more affordable from now on...

India one more bridge collapses in delhi...won't our leader learn anything? Almost a year ago same thing happened in Hyderabad and for some time finger pointing went on and later people forgot about it.Same thing will happen now....I salute the Architectural Genious of the Bridge in Mumbai...but China built sooo many such bridges in 2008 and we are still way behind..We need to improve in a lot of things...Mayawati I really wish some one will put some sense in her brain..She is wasting soo much money for her birthdays and Statues...I really wish she channels her energies in to something more constructive...She should be commended for what she has achived being a Dalit women...I think a lot of people need to get inspiration from her..She has a charisma which she is wasting in these statues....BJP party is close to collapsing..Its not good in a democratic country to have such a weak opposition...They have no comments about the budget? Thats bad.....I wish them all the luck in thier restructuring and they need one seriously......Moving on India made a step in the right direction by appointing Nandan for the unique ID process..This show that Government is serious about that..I wish him all the best and hope he succeeds...Lot of things need to change and atleast we started moving in the right direction..Infrastructure and Power issues still are pulling back our progress..we still don't have good drinking water and 24/7 power in our state capitals..how bad can it be.......AP has spent billions of rupees buying power from other states..why don't they invest them in power plants and move in the right direction?

I recently saw an interview with JP of Loksatta...He has some good ideas and taughts...I wish he comes to power in 2014 :) AP still the same blame is going on..Oppostion TDP instead of just hitting in the dark needs to concentrate on real issues....

I really am planning to do a weekly blog from now on....:)

Have a good week every one
