The ultimate solution to power problems

The North India is time and again facing power related issues and this time it has been quite large with grids failing. Though the government is working on the grid failure, the ultimate problem lies in finding the alternate solution to the problem. The traditional sources of power have now become incapable of increasing energy requirements of the country. Though problems also lie in selling the electricity and politically correct prices due to which government electricity firms are making losses. One solution discussed widely is the privatization of transmission of electricity, which is though a feasible solution but not long term.
I think its time we move to greener energy. By green energy I am not going to talk about something which is good in black and white and not possible in near future. What I am talking about is Solar Energy. Though it is very common in north India for firms to have solar panels, I have seen houses with Solar Panel in South India. Major energy usage in most of the states is industrial but if the government can subsidies solar panel rather than electricity for households, it will ease a lot of pressure on energy demand.

A country like India, which in most of its parts has high incidence of solar rays, it becomes a long term investment to work in the area of solar energy. It can be made mandatory for most of the firms (meeting some specific criteria) to install solar panels. I, as a household entity would very much like to invest in solar panel which not only ensures my regular energy supply but also reduce my electricity bill.

Team Anna - Whether the intended will be achieved?

It has already been 2 days since Team Anna started its Anshan against
corruption. Team Anna in the past, had another Anshan for the Lokpal Bill
wherein government assured that the bill will be passed in time. Though it was
introduced in the parliament and we heard and read so much about it nothing
substantial happened. This time again Anna Hazare is on indefinite fast and
government seems not at all bothered about the same. We can't blame them,
even janta this time is not worried about corruption. It is no doubt commendable,
that Team Anna is doing all this for the country and against corruption but it
cannot also be ruled out that government has its own handicaps while trying to
pass this bill. As Ambika Soni has rightly mentioned that a bill cannot be passed
in 4 days and resorting to such measure equals blackmail. It is very difficult for
a coalition government to pass a bill by keeping all parties happy. It has been
the case with most of the bills presented in the Parliament in the last one year.
It is not to say that all people within government are ready to pass every bill
presented. Team Anna already gave a lot of time to the government. to get this
bill passed but now that nothing has happened it is also correct on his part to
take such extreme measures. For Team Anna such “blackmail” is not only for
the ruling party but for all parties involved in the process. All parties while playing
this game should also understand that the bill should be sincerely presented and
discussed in the Parliament.

My worry is only one. Team Anna and general public involved (whoever is
doing it with right intentions) are working too hard to get this bill passed. The
government has its own limitations and in between all this, the situation has
become a child’s play for everyone watching. I wonder whether the intended will ever be achieved.

Harry Potter and the motivating author!

It been almost 3 years since I finished reading my last Harry Potter and I have never appreciated a pure fiction more than this. Not only as everyone always says about Harry Potter books that it has taken magic to a new level. I always feel so motivated after watching this movie or reading the book. For me it has been a motivating story. If you closely see what the characters of the story, especially the main characters have been through, how they come out of the things you feel your life to be too small and too easy and ofcourse the writer J K Rowling, her every act, every part of the story is so logical. sometimes I just find myself appreciating how good she is. How clear her thinking process is. She has shown every relation, every emotion and every incident so clearly as if its hers. I really look forward to more of her work and I want to thank her for writing such beautiful thing and I m glad I read it!

Organising Games - Overrated!!

Olympics are here and so are the issues related to it. I have been reading many articles on mismanagement, infrastructural issues and athletes facing problems. I was forced to think of the time, when Delhi organized the Commonwealth Games and there was so much clamor. It was not just from outside but skepticism was inside - within us. Most of the people I know have these words to say - India can never come out of this disease called corruption, It can never organize something properly, it is going to be a shameful event for us.
I am not saying that issues that London has or is facing are same as what Delhi had faced but I think that while organising such events, there are bound to be some kind of mistakes. Many papers mention that there might be proper preparation from London's behalf but their people are not briefed properly. The flag issue with North Korea shows the same. Apart from this, it is the third time London is organising Olympics and that too after 64 years whereas It was the first major event for India.
It is important to be aware of the problems that one can face during such events but it is also important to celebrate and praise what a country has achieved.
The article is for those people who put their heart and soul for the best of the events including the Commonwealth and Olympics!

Another Afghanistan?

It has been said that it is easier to take someone's benefit in their weak moments. Al-Qaeda is exactly doing the same with Syrians and though we all talk so much about Syrian people and their sacrifices, we have closed our eyes towards what really is happening. The "Jehad" word comes from fighting for what is right and I suppose initially when it started in Pakistan and Afghanistan, it was actually for right reasons. But now that Syrian people fighting for what is theirs, they have become easy targets for such terrorist organisations. Its been more than a year since Syrian people are fighting for freedom and nothing has happened. The angst among people have caused hundreds of people to die and here we are, oblivion to what is happening. I Just hope Syria does not become another Afghanistan!
