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?"

125 Days Roadmap – Part B

 


 

Dear Shri Prime Minister :


I write in continuation of my yesterday’s email


A few days ago , in an interview with Sanjay Pugalia ( NDTV ) you said :


Keeping in mind the next 25 years, keeping in mind 2047, we did a lot of brainstorming, we took inputs from lakhs of people.


I received some 15-20 lakhs suggestions from the youth. We have done a very big exercise, a mega brainstorming. I have been doing this exercise for so long that some officers who were a part of it have retired. We have taken suggestions from ministers, secretaries and experts.


I have segregated that too into 25 years, 5 years, 1 year and 100 days in a stage-wise manner. There'll be additions to it, we might have to drop a thing or two too, but we have a big picture with us.


We have added 25 days to this plan because I have seen that the youth is very excited and if we channel that excitement, we can get extra benefit and that's why, I have added 25 days to 100 days.


We have launched 'MYBharat'. In the coming days,


Ø  I want to focus on how to connect the youth,

Ø  how to instil a habit of dreaming big in them, and

Ø  how to bring a change in their habit to make big dreams come true.

I believe these efforts will bring results. “

 

Dear Shri Narendrabhai :


In your interview, you said that you have received “ 15 – 20 lakh suggestions

from the youth


Please widen your definition of “ Youth “ as “ Young at Heart , at 91 “ – and do

include in those suggestions, some 3000 + emails which I have sent to you over

the past 10 years



Please find some of these underneath

125 Days Roadmap – Part A

 


 

Dear Prime Minister,


During past few weeks, you have repeatedly said :

  As soon as the new govt is formed , our first task will be to release a  125 days

 Roadmap . It will list some really out-of-the-box / big ticket reforms , to be

 implemented during my 3rd term – reforms which will lay the foundation of the

VIKSIT  BHARAT – 2047 . What you have seen during the past 2 terms, was

 really , no more than a trailer. Now you will get to see the full movie “



 Ten years ago, on 06 Nov 2014 , I sent you ( by hard copy – at your office and

 residence ) , a volume containing my 30 suggestions in respect of  Transforming

 India  


I wish to thank you that some of these got implemented during past 10 years (

 even if partially ) – and some others are “ Work in Progress


Since then, a “ lot of water has passed under the bridge “. Ever changing

 situations ( political – social – economical – technological – legal , etc ) have

 thrown up huge NEW CHALLENGES, most of which just cannot be addressed in

 traditional manner. These GORDIAN KNOTS cannot be “ unravelled “ – you must

 wield a sword and CUT these !



Allow me to present below some of these ISSUES / CHALLENGES and my

 suggestions on how to tackle these


Over the next few days, I will send some more

 

With regards,

Read this Advt with your Nose ?

 


 

Does this read like a fantasy ?

Of course , but today , it came a step closer to reality

The front page of today’s Sunday Times carried following advt which indeed smelled of mangoes !

( Not quite AI but may be printing ink got added with some fragrance of mangoes )

 


This reminded me of my 7 year old following blog :

Ø  2024 ! – V 2.0 of Orwellian 1984 ?  …………….. 07  July  2017

 

Extract :

“ SMELL – TASTE “  WAVES  :

 

With arrival of Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality, day is not far when , sitting in your sofa , you can smell / taste that pizza , from across the World

 

 

It is 2024 and you could “ smell “ that picture in news-paper

But if you stick around till 2026 ( being 91 this month , I may not ), on your favourite TV Channel , you will be able to smell all kinds of aromas in advts for “ masala / shampoo / tea / perfumes etc “

In 2017 , I had not heard of Elon Musk’s Neuralink. But , in this blog, I did envisage following :

“ BRAIN WAVES “ ( EEG ) :

 

Scientists are attaching a few sensors to your head, capturing your Brain Waves , and accurately interpreting these as “ Specific Thoughts / Sentiments “ !

 

It is only a matter of time before the bulky wired headset gets replaced by a mobile or a wrist band , capable of capturing your “ BRAIN WAVES “ and ( without your explicit permission ) , transmitting any of your thoughts which it considers “ EVIL “  to a CENTRAL SERVER of the ESTABLISHMENT !

 

And it will do this SURVEILLANCE , 24*7  ! – even when you are asleep !

 

Those who managed to escape the “ 1984 “ of George Orwell , were lucky

 

Those who will be around when 2024 arrives , may not be so lucky !
