VICIOUS CIRCLE ?
On 25 Mar 2012 , temperature was 40* C in Mumbai ( India )
Must be a record of some sort !
And a clear sign of global warming
Over the next few months , temperatures all over India will hover around 40* C
Millions will switch – on their air conditioners to beat the heat, drawing huge amount of electricity
To generate all that power , thermal power plants will need to consume enormous amounts of coal
Which will throw up into atmosphere , large quantities of carbon dioxide
Producing green-house effect
Raising temperatures still further – and demand for more air conditioners
Only escape – route is non-fossil fuel energy
Even if it is Kudankulum

PARENTS KNOW BEST !
Indian parents know too well that , in order to succeed in life , their children must master English language
Here is the proof
National University of Education , Planning and Administration ( NUEPA ) compiled following figures for enrollment of students by medium of instruction :
- English Medium Schools ……. 20.4 Million ( + 18.9 % over 2009/10 )
- Hindi Medium Schools ………… 90.9 Million (+ 5.6 % over 2009/10)
With 220 million cheap Tablets ( computers ) to be given away free to the school children in the next 5 years, I would not be surprised if English overtakes Hindi before long !
Reason ?
Almost all the “ Educational Content “ ( as of today ) is in English – whether online or pre-installed on these tablets by their manufacturers
We are about to witness the biggest – and the most profound – social change in independent India
