Reflections of Rajaram Bojji

Comment 7:20 pm Rajaram Bojji - Buzz - Public Arrow of time and singularities in the time-space continuum: some answers from ancient wisdom Bhagavad Gita Chapter 8 Verse 17 By human calculation, a thousand ages taken together form the duration of Brahma's one day. And such also is the duration of his night. Let me try to understand how I can relate this ancient wisdom of ours to understand some current anomalies in cosmological theories struggling with singularities and vanishing time arrows. Kalpa, Maha yuga may be understood as: Years Solar (My suggestion Disorder rate degree) Satya(krita) 1728000 ( 0.25 ) Thretha 1296000 ( 0.33 ) Dwapara 864000 ( 0.5) Kali 432000 ( 1) total 4320000 Solar years One make over and renewal happens to restart Satya yuga but a major destruction climate based(?) may occur for destroying and restarting of humanity and civilisation again with Satya order, from which position disorder will again commence. Since along the arrow of time, entropy...

Raghu writes extremely well as normal to him and one cannot fault him. How ever I have one point to make which some how he missed. India has to decide whether Railway is a pure commercial organisation with profit as the motive or a government department responsible for social justice. If we are commercial, then the approach will be to improve profits, introduce more cost effective technologies, remove cross subsidies, and be customer friendly.Even in recruitment and training the work force will be lean and mean and will enjoy the same level of freedom as available for any private company abroad. Like US companies running railways we can concentrate on profit making sectors and create a few AMTRAKS for government subsidies and support. That is the sure way to permanently kill railways and technology, as US has done. It will just carry freight and freight and freight. But of late US President is trying to change all that with heavy Government investment and stimulus focusing on railways....

We basically lack some courageous leaders within Telengana who can refute with facts and figures the lies spread amongst students and villagers. Even educated classes like lawyers speak the same irrational voilent language of seeing blood and butchering from the steps of High Court, saying they had been oppressed! Not a single sane voice around! It is amazing the Nazi type of atmosphere overnight in Hyderabad! We are truly a fragile society. Such meekness in intellectuals leaving the stage to people who only speak in rhetoric and emotional outbursts , further calling it as the most sensitive issue!! In what way I never understood. What is the problem? Self rule is talked about as if it is an independence movement from some foreign rulers!. Independence from whom? Are people not electing their rulers in this area? Even lawyers joining the chorus is ridiculous to say the least and then the media with very young journalists with wide eyes and loud noises creating cacophony with jumpin...

We have hordes of bureaucrats keeping records and Planning Commission too compiles district wise statistics, to arrive at the most backward areas etc for special Prime Minister's assistance. Telling facts should not be a problem. But why the media also is falling in the trap making vague statements without bothering to get at the facts. What is a backward district? What are the parameters? Have some bench marks.In independent India, it is ridiculous of fight for independence as in Telengana!Elected people's representatives rule. Loss of self-respect etc and rhetoric of investors being called blood suckers , are unbelievable, but actually happening in the Republic Of India! China stopped using such words long time back. Media too is acting very strangely with no editor picking up seriously the issue and analysing to arrive at truth. Meantime emotional outbursts putting young students in the forefront , who are being used as shield by selfish political leaders, who lost elections...

I am amazed at the stupidity of the CAT and IIMs put together, who for conducting on line tests first of all chosen some outside resource while our IT resources are much better if not euqlly well equipped. In Konkan Railway , I had been conducting since 1999, on line refresher courses for which entire study material and sample question papers for training too were made available, as well qualifying tests for the ASMs and drivers , where the servers produce randomly selected questions to be answered from the comfort of their office itself and used successfully over years when I was there. I am sure the systems must be continuing. The entire process was designed and implemented on the UNIX servers in house by my own IT department. When internet is used, we need to use secure servers and either TCS or INFOSYS could have delivered this service so easily. The CAT could not even produce test papers without repeating the questions!! Why did they hand over this job to some US agency and allowe...
