Quiet flows the Ganga!


I have been operating on Twitter and Facebook apart from running my own blogs for the past decade.

What I observe is the same attitudes and compartmentalisation as obtained in real life take place  in these formats.

You make groups and follow nor "unfollow" persons and the big shots and celebrities use it as just one way of communication , just one way, no response just as out happens in real life...they refuse to respond and some even block comments.

The humans cannot get out of the basic anthropological compulsions and comfort of belonging to own clan or class.

Now a days news print also recognise the need for readers to express their immediate , sometimes thoughtless but emotional outbursts, instantly web posting comments once their email is registered. You won't believe that such venemous language can be used to express yourself!

Grace is missing on the web.

Only a few digital publications like Moneylife run by Sucheta Dalal truly stand up without need to depend on corporate bandicoots. This has been made possible because of web and internet.

Print media still has some old world filtering but relatively felt to be old hag style by the hot blooded young crowds who just blurt out but immediately switch to another topic. They move on, impatient and in hurry to male the next million.

Paradox is we have million times more communication conveniences , at very low cost, but communicate really nothing worth while or long lasting in values.

Anger and impatience are matched by unwillingness to at least to listen or read to understand others' point of view.

Quiet flows the Ganga  unmindful of all these light and sound shows

"Belonging to their own clan", is what I found out, in blog world.

Many of them operate for their own group in blogs too. They all seem to know each other too. there are lot of ego trips , hassles, and quarrels.
Very interesting indeed.

Sometimes I notice well meaning comments too are not approved, nor acknowledged. Strange.

Thanks for the good post sir.

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
