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?"

Underachievers All




Don’t blame an individual

It is the entire Central Cabinet

Here is proof ( as provided by DNA / 05, July 2012 ) :

Ø   To “ manage “ overflowing wheat stocks – presumably to prevent its rotting in open under rains – Central Cabinet has decided to export 20 lakh tons of wheat , at an export price of Rs 12,400 / ton

Ø   Now , considering that it costs Central Government , Rs 16,500 / ton to buy / transport / stock that wheat, this would amount to “ subsidizing “ the foreign buyers by Rs 4,100 / ton.

Ø   USA has warned the commerce ministry that it cannot sell wheat below the MSP at which it buys from Indian farmers


I await the day when our 400 million poor people muster the courage to warn the “ Underachievers “ :

“ Forget the export

1.6 million children cannot be allowed to die of starvation every year

( 24,365 in Maharashtra alone during 2011-2012 )

Don’t wait till 2014 National Elections . If you do , you will be swept into the dustbin of history ! “

With regards
