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...
