Adarsh Society-- only a symptom of deeper malaise

But why people are acting so surprised? Three years ago a NGO pointed out the same scam of Adarsh Society. No one cared. This time an innocent journalist put it on TImes Now, and for some reason seems to have escaped the usual editorial scrutiny preventing such major exposure. The storm caught every one by surprise.

It is common knowledge that we are not too serious about ethics in governance. Till caught and exposed badly, you can do anything. The secret is not to get caught. The punishment follows for getting caught.

It is tiresome to to see the hypocrites writing all kinds of essays expressing great surprise and shock.

Today even high school student wryly dismisses these empty words, as I find in my chat with an youngster.

After a few weeks, the news value is over and people return back to their normal business, just like we do in railways after an accident and a few deaths, express shock and announce inquiries and promise remedial solutions, start running trains as usual and forget all we said till next incident. We keep repeating the same.

So the show goes on. The Secretary Adarsh Society will miss his Padma award, by this episode. That is the maximum punishment that he will get.

Both media and the politicians/bureaucrats play their games well, fooling us. The relaxed smiles of Suresh Kalmadi, Ashok Chavan contrast with the glum face of Antony as I see today live in AICC session live. Antony I know personally, a clean plotocian, who used to walk down to canteen to have his Dosa, even as CM. His wife used to wait for an auto to go to school! CM's wife! He called Cabinet meeting and heard me regarding Skybus with full cabinet in session, and cleared my project for Kochi! Of course he is good. SO he did not last long. Now he will have to cover up the culprits--- a task he won't like perhaps. So I can understand his glum face.

We also will move on to our problem of inflated telephone bill , and how to tackle the electrical bill which appears to be unfair. The effort to locate the office and the concerned "bade sab", without the use of agent/broker, can keep you going round in circles.

This bigger crisis and problem for an individual, will leave little time to worry about the doings, right or wrong, of the too far away and too highly placed authorities going round in bullet-proof cars with AK 47 security.

Cheers and Happy Deepavali!

The great Indian Puzzle.

The great Indian Puzzle:  own technology to save every single life in land transportation, decongest cities and roads, save fossil fuels, avoid painful land and property acquisition, all weather system, eliminates modal split and seamlessly integrates for both cargo and people, more importantly financially viable, proven and cleared by Government in 2005 itself BUT ignore  and continue to keep doing infrastructure development with century old technologies, proudly too, to add insult to injury, causing tears to land and property owners, spending four times more but unable to achieve any positive result, cities remain congested, floods can shut down cities, accidents keep killing people and losing heavily public funds in terms of subsidising losses since famously these are not financilayy viable. Isn't it height of stupidity or lack of integrity in engineers for misguiding their governments? How history will judge, only time will tell

SKYBUS RAIL : The unique disruptive rail technology of this century.

Image
It is yet to hit experts of railways , that an innocent simple reconfiguration of railway technology elements in 2004 and and World’s First run on Sept 15 2004 of Skybus in Goa,  (    https://youtu.be/TzFH26E6eto  )   actually ushered in a mile stone, which I myself did not realize full implications at that time.   Many centuries of derailing, capsizing and colliding railways which we had been using with expensive mitigating measures, suddenly becomes obsolete.  Even in 2022 there are are hundreds of incidents in the world even in the most advanced railway systems and human lives lost. In 2005, once dynamic tests confirmed safety and more comfortable running of Skybus Rail, the entire world railways stand obsolescent.  To say the 175 year old , evolved highspeed rail too now , is obsolete is shocking . But matters of fact stare at any rational person, to gloss over.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/134GMH5pLrNkvhrXROIhQJvksdDtfeb6u/view     Current serious global warming challenge is e
