Perils of Procrastination

CRISIS CRISIS EVERYWHERE / NOT A SOLUTION IN SIGHT  !


Parkinson's Law :

Work expands to fill the time available for doing it


Peter's Principle :

In an organizational hierarchy, every employee will rise or get promoted to his or her level of incompetence


My Observation :

By postponing a decision for sufficiently long time, most trivial issues can be turned into crisis situations


Examples :

# 1

More than 27 lakh trucks which are older than 15 years , will be banned from the roads from 1st April 2016


Crisis Implication :

*  Movement of goods across India , will drop drastically overnight , with resultant dip in GDP

*  At the current rate of local production, it will take 13 years to replace these trucks ! This may necessitate imports of trucks from China - worsening our already unfavorable trade balance !


# 2

From Jan 1 2016 , in city of Delhi , private cars with odd / even ( ending ) numbers , will be allowed on the roads , on alternate days ( as being done in Beijing )

Crisis Implication :

*  With totally insufficient and antiquated public transport system , people will spend on the road , an average of 6 hours daily , to / from offices

*  Rich will have two cars with odd/even numbers( good news for car makers ! )


# 3

Salaries of Delhi MLAs will get raised by 400 %

Crisis Implication :

MPs and MLAs ( of all the States ) , will pass resolutions , increasing their respective salaries by 800 %  !


If same decisions were taken 15 years ago , these would have read :

*  2 lakh trucks to be banned immediately - with 2 lakhs more , each subsequent year


*  As in Singapore ,

   #  drastically raise the cost of owning - and subsequently , operating a private car

   #  A private car cannot enter CENTRAL DISTRICT , unless occupied by 4 persons

   And, as done in many cities of the World ,

   #  Create dedicated lanes for Buses

   #  Remove all taxes ( one-time or recurring ) on Electric Vehicles

   #  Free use of Bicycles ( pickup and leave at destinations ) by public

   #  Many more Metro lines


*   Raise MPs / MLAs salaries every year by a percentage , half of  CPI rise %

Just look around and make a list of those seemingly " trivial / postpone-able " issues

Then extrapolate their " Size / Urgency " , to the year 2030

Then await history to repeat itself  !
