Some Times Negative is also Positive

“Come on Yaar be Positive” we all have heard it many a times from our friends, relatives and dear ones whenever we are under depression or in deep depression. The sole motive behind such thoughts is to motivate us or anybody, to complete his responsibility, who has lost all his hope.

Let take an example we all must have heard the story of “half filled glass of water” which ultimately indicates the mindset of a person. The story is like that: Ones a teacher take a glass filled half with water. Then he asked one of his student to give his(student) opinion on the half filled glass. The student being a child simply replied Sir it is half empty. The teacher then went to another student for his opinion on the glass. The student replied Sir it is half filled with water. The teacher smiled and praised the student for his positive attitude and further taught all the students about benefits of positive thinking.

There is no doubt that most of us go with the opinion of the teacher and all have a positive mindset but think again and then reply whether first student was wrong? Did he really leave no scope of hope? I don’t think so and in my opinion first student was also right and even I would like to say he gives me a rope of hope stronger then the second student. He gives me an opportunity. He said to me look this glass is half empty and you have to fill it full, so you have something to do.

Let’s take another example. In summers of May you went to one of your friend’s house and ask him for a glass of water. Your friend came with a glass of water half filled. You look at the glass half filled and shout at your friend “Come on yaar I am dying with heat and you are still trying to save water, go and bring me a glass full of water”. Now tell me what you see there, it must be a glass of water half filled and you reply to your friend to fill it completely. Now if being of positive mindset you didn’t reply your friend to bring you a full glass of water you shall have been hospitalized suffering from dehydration.

Here my motive is not to demotivate all my friends but what message I want to convey is “It is really good to remain positive in life and look towards life with positive mindset but sometimes it is better to look at the negative sides because at such times only this negative side will help you attain your goals and will increase your confidence for a positive future.

Our Lessons from Japan

The massive Tsunami which hit Japan on Mar 11, 2011 was itself one of the most devastating incidents in the history of mankind. It was so boisterous that the country declared it the second most dangerous disaster after II World War.

Massive flood killed thousands of people and lakhs are unsheltered. But it is not over yet. This is just ending of one phase another one and even more terrible is on the row i.e. Nuclear Radiations. Fukushima Nuclear reactor which is also affected by the tsunami waves is now spreading the danger of harmful nuclear radiations which will undoubtedly result more horribly.

Now the big question arises “IS it safe to use nuclear fuel as a source for generating electricity?” and question for us “Is it safe to produce electricity by uranium in a country like India?” My first question is a question of whole international community to look after, but second one is more important for us Indians. We all are well known about the sincerity and technical development of Japan. They are simply tech savvy people with sincerity for their work. But here in India technology is almost in hell and I don’t need to talk about our sincerity.

See na where you can find radioactive material in a scrap shop and that too in the capital of country what is the guarantee that such a things will not be available so easily in the nearby markets when start using on such a big scale.

Just see for a while we all know how responsibly our system works and another is how many of us are aware about radioactive material. And above all if something like Japan happens god only knows what type of situation it would be.

Through this article I don’t want to say that you should not take measures for power supply. After all an ever growing country like India need uninterrupted power supply to reach its target but at the same time I would suggest to adopt a better and safe way to complete our target. And still if you don’t find any option for nuclear energy then it would be better to go with Thorium based nuclear reactors than Uranium based nuclear reactors. Because it is comparatively safe and will help us to save some money also.

Where we are going?

“tc 0 fn;k esjs Hkkjr us rc nqfu;k dks fxurh vkbZ”

“rkjksa dh Hkk’kk nqfu;k dks Hkkjr us igys lh[kykbZ”

Above two lines picked from Hindi movie “Purab or Paschim” starred Manoj Kumar and Saira Banu. These lines when read make us proud to be an Indian and when are listened takes us all to the seventh sky for being an Indian.

“Mera Bharat Mahan” “India is great”. More than 3500 years of spectacular history, our rituals, ramayan-gita any many more makes us a great historical state. With more than 50 crore hot blooded youngsters, about 8% of economic growth and ever growing military strength we are claiming to be the world super power by 2050.

This all really sounds good and even helps us having some smile on our faces. But is all this true? Are we going to a right way? For a while just forgot about your past, stop looking at the future and concentrate at the present. What we are at present?

What is the advantage of a 3500 years history when many of us even don’t know about importance of 26^th January, increasing number of old age homes tells us about our rituals and most important recent CW games and 2G Scam explains the true principles of “Bhagvad Gita”.

By saying so I am not criticizing our history and don’t even want you to leave your hope for shining future. No doubt we have a very great history and we also are going to be world super power (after all we are now 5^th Largest economy of the world). But at the same time we also need to concentrate on our present condition. We can’t leave our mother land in the hand of corrupt ministers and bureaucrats who are exploiting it daily and even with more confidence.

This one is also not for encouraging you to do something like Egyptians or Libyans. But can’t we raise our voice by non violence. We all have seen “Laage Raho Munna Bhai” and in my opinion we all like that.

This is the right time when we can raise our voice. The whole world is raising its voice against torture, corruption and injustice. Don’t just forget “None of us is stronger than all of us”.

At the last I am leaving you with some pictures of our present:

India Rich

India Poor

India Rich

India Poor

You all must have seen many of such pictures daily in your life and would have said "Chal Chod na yaar". But now think again for a while.

The Gigantic Scams

Hi friends

I am back again and this time I am with some analysis carried out by me. As we all know about the last four months. These four months revealed some of the biggest scams in the history of India. The biggest one was 2G Scam which cost nation `2,00,000 crore and other two were although not that big but were really shocking i.e. CWG Scam and Adarsh Society Scam of `8,000 crore and `800 crore respectively.

The three scams together cost nation `18,48,00,00,00,000 (One Lakh Eighty Four Thousand Eight Hundred Crore rupees). Now if you look at this amount it shows its grandiosity (look at the number of zeros it have). And especially in a country like India it becomes bigger (as we are counted among poor nations of the world)

This amount is more than 3% of Indian GDP. And in an international scenario this amount is even more than GDP of ninety countries of the world. Ninety countries in this world produces a GDP of less than such a big amount. Even Twenty poorest countries of the world together are not able to produce a GDP equal to the amount lost by us in these scams.

Analysis:

Indian Context

GDP of India - `50 lac crore approx.

Scam’s Total - `1.848 lac crore

Percentage – 3.70%

International Context

Total GDP of 90 poorest countries of the world – `61 lac crore approx.

Total GDP of 20 poorest countries of the world - `1.3 lac crore approx.

Percentage:

To 90 countries – 3.32%

To 20 countries – 150%

Now you yourself can see how big we are. We alone have a GDP equal to 90 poorest countries of the world. And our scam are even bigger.
