Reflections of Rajaram Bojji

I am not anybody frankly. Just a common man who lived in the country and the reasons for my writing I place for your perusal. It is a very complex issue, the state and governance. In anger, the way public servants both organised services and political masters no more are conscious of being servants with a ,purpose, but merely working to benefit themselves and their kith and kin, I wrote an alternative model. I never owned a car in my service. After retirement good will of some one provided one once in a way, on occasions . Most of the time we walk or use the auto. It costs me Rs 100 a day for transport and since we came back from USA we are forced to go out daily and talking to the auto drivers is a great learning experience. It all starts from hiring to travel. Only 20% drivers you meet who take you on meter. The life of common man on road is not too pleasant. Fortunately I can afford the auto easily . In fact I can buy a car too. But the traffic conditions scare me off to drive. But...

Newton is a unique scientist whose work remains relevant to humanity after centuries and even for space age travel. He is said to have born on 25 Dec 1642 as per Roman calendar, but Europe reset the date to Jan 4th, 1643 as per Gregorian calendar later on. Let me share a secret unused by us for the last 300 years. His theories on gravity can help us meet the energy needs of humanity to transport people and goods. Using the approach outlined below transportation is possible at speeds of 210 mph from city to city. Retooled cars/trucks on gravity-powered roads allow for transportation without fossil fuels and transport cargo from any point to any point at 60-mph. Existing metro rail can be powered by gravity doing away the electrical traction. Detailed specification in US Patent application number: 12184151 dated 07/31/2008 provides more information regarding the "Gravity Powered Rail, Road and Runways transportation systems". The principle is rather simple and ancient too. I...

Dear Mr President, welcome! I am worried the path ASCE is taking. A solution to save 98.5% of man made energy in transportation is being denied publication in our Journal on Transportation Engineering! It is a disservice to the members of ASCE to be denied an opportunity to be the first to share a breakthrough development by one of their members. Now they will have to read from some other journals. USA needs urgent solution to make us energy independent, and economic down turn can be addressed with such energy saving transportation solution like Gravity Powered Urban Rail! It is not a joke to be able to save 98 to 70% of man-made energy , replacing the same with gravity power, while using the existing infrastrutire too. I am intrigued as a very senior civil engineering professional with enough professional work reported all round the world, and not needing an endorsement at this stage in my life, what our society is looking for- to be unconcerned with current problems of scoiety makes ...
