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?"

BUT I HAVE PROMISES TO KEEP

Akhilesh yadav – Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh ( India ), must be ruing the day he promised to dole out Rs 1000 / month ( $ 20 ) to each unemployed person, above the age of 35 and having passed 12th standard
Within 10 days of his announcement, some 2.5 million ( 25 lakhs )persons registered at various Employment Exchanges , to claim the largesse
And those included
 15 years to 65 years old
 Those who have not passed even 10th standard
 Those who are currently employed
 Even those who do not belong to UP
Contrast this scenario with the fact that only 15 million persons had registered with various employment exchanges in UP , during the past 40 years !
But really not surprising considering that Employment Exchanges manage to find a job for only 1 person for every 1000 registered !
This is nothing !
Just wait for the fulfillment of the next promise, viz: handing out free tablets ( computers ) to every student who has passed 10th standard in 2011
From school registrations , Government officials have estimated 2.5 million students to qualify
I would not be surprised if 25 million students register ! Of Course,” fake” schools will make millions , issuing “ fake “ 10th standard pass certificates ! Please , don’t call this “ Mother of all Scams “ !
May be UP Government should consider employing a few millions of those “ fake unemployed “ to check the correctness of
 Fake school certificates
 Fake domicile certificates
 Fake Birth-date certificates
 Fake affidavits of being unemployed
 Even fake “ Employment Exchanges “ !
After all , what are a few fakes here and there , when your grand scheme is to replace a “ fake Prime Minister “ in the next general election !
