Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Amazing AI

 


 

I just came across an AI called Shortly

 

I used it to help me “ write a blog “ and the result is as follows :

 

Sentences in GREEN are my “ prompts “ ( what I wrote before clicking “ Write for me “ )

Sentences in RED are what Shortly filled in

 


For letting the politicians take us for a ride , we have no one to blame but ourselves  !

We have miserably failed in coming up with a citizen’s “ CHARTER  OF  DEMAND “,

which :


-  shall stake out the position of the common citizen in all public matters,

-  shall be as brief and lucid as possible,

-  and shall be binding on all sections of society.

 

The unwillingness of citizens to band together in this way is our own worst enemy. 

We must create a new set of standards by which our country will operate or it will surely fall apart.

 

Here are specific steps that citizen need to take before the election :

 

1. There must be a set of demands that citizens should put up when they go out

    to vote.


2. These demands shall guide their votes and should be binding on the politicians,

    who constantly in their election campaigns promise the moon and stars to get a

    vote.

    

3. If the politicians do not concede to these demands, it is perfectly alright for the

    voters to punish them by abstaining from voting or by voting for another

    party or candidate who does agree with    your demands.

 


    

Here is what citizen can do if political parties hesitate to commit to Citizen's CHARTER OF DEMAND :

 

The advantages of doing this are :-


-  It will give us a voice in deciding the direction our country should take.


-  It is a way of making politicians accountable for their promises.


-  We can be sure that we are being taken seriously.

 

The word "demands" is used in the title, but this work is not about the demands to

be made by various parties and the various platforms they have put up for the

coming election.

 


Difficult to believe that AI could write just like a human !

 

Absolutely – and here is why :

 

Some 4 years ago, I wrote following blog(and sent as email to Cabinet Ministers) :


Ø  Citizen’s Charter of Demand…………………………… [ 29 Oct 2018 ]

 

Extract :

 

Dear Voters ,

 

For letting the politicians take us for a ride , we have no one to blame but

ourselves  !

 

We have miserably failed in coming up with a citizen’s “ CHARTER  OF  DEMAND “,

which :

 

·         Lists our demands

 

 ·         Groups these into,

 

                 #  Urgent but not Important

 

                #  Important but not Urgent

 

                #  Both , Urgent as well as Important

 

 

 

·         Devise / launch a Mobile App to solicit citizen’s response to the above, with

          PRIORITY RATING for each  listed item ( 1 = Low  /  2 = Medium  /  3 = High )

 

           

·         Then arrange in descending order of priorities

  

·         For each item, lays down “ Quantified / Measurable “ targets , with target

          dates

 

     Send this CHARTER of DEMAND to each political party , insisting that the Party

     comes out with a public statement , accepting to implement the Charter ( if

     voted to power , of course ) and also publish this on its  web site

 

 

          Charter will begin with following “ Declaration of Intent “ :

 

 “  We the people of India , submit the following Charter of Demands to the

    political parties contesting 2019 General Election and ask them to accept the

     same for  implementing , if voted to power

 

  

   We will not vote for those parties which refuse to accept this charter

 

 

   However , if several parties accept this Charter , citizens will vote for those

   parties and their candidates , who will begin their every Election Rally Speech

   with re- affirmation of its acceptance

 

    Once a party has accepted the Charter prior to the election , it will need to

    publicly  confirm its support to its implementation , even if it fails to form the

    government  and sits in the opposition. “

 

   Using the same Mobile App, every quarter , compile citizen feedback on their

   perception of “ Actual Achievement %age as against Target “ and provide this

   FEEDBACK of People’s perception , to the  government

 

              

 

 

Dear Readers :

 

Our PM Shri Modiji has repeatedly urged our citizen to provide FEEDBACK on

various govt reforms and on things that will make their lives “ Easy to Live “


Here is your chance to take help from Shortly , to write down your DEMANDS and

e-mail these to our Policy Makers at :
