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?"

With regards,

A Prabhu – on – Earth ?



Yesterday , a train accident in UP , caused 23 deaths and 100 + injuries


Such accidents have been happening every alternate year , for decades


But , should these continue to happen with the same regularity , for coming decades ?


And , should these be “ taken for granted “ in a country whose Scientists have sent a Mission on Mars ( MOM ) , at the very first attempt ?


I wonder if Shri Prabhu found time to read my following email :




A  Matter of  Shame  ( 13  March  2017  )



And what about people dying on Mumbai’s local trains network ?


Some 3202 in 2016 ! Of these , 1798 died while crossing the tracks ( 8 per day )


To save these lives , I had suggested :


ATrillion Dollar  Opportunity  ?  ( 03  Sept  2016  )





Now it is possible that the kind of TECHNOLOGICAL  INNOVATION ( - a controlled EMP ), suggested by me , is not possible ( - of course , no one has come forward to say so ! )


But , “ where there is a will , there is a way “ !


On Mumbai’s local train tracks , across the track ,“ Cross Girders “ are positioned every 50 meters , for supporting electric cables carrying the current


What if :

·         CCTV cameras are mounted on these ( facing both directions ) to capture the persons crossing the tracks


·         Also mounted alongside , are EMP generating devices ( cost = approx. Rs 5,000 )


·         CCTV are linked with EMP devices ( - through Internet of Things / IP V 6.0 )


·         The moment a person starts crossing the track , CCTV will capture his motion , determine his precise “ position “ ( using GPS in the Smart Phone in his pocket ) and “ trigger “ the EMP device


·         The EMP device will send a pulse of Electo-Magnetic Waves which will “ fry “ the electronics inside the Smart Phone , killing the phone permanently !


·         That will be the DIGITAL DEATH of that person ! No smart phone , No existence !


Till he buys a new one ( Smart Phone manufacturers , take note to cooperate )


·         He will NEVER cross the tracks again ( - we pray that he survives the first attempt )


·         And , the news of “ Digital Death by EMP “ will spread so fast on Social Media that no one else will want to cross the tracks


·         Prevention is better than cure !



Dear Shri Suresh Prabhu :



Please , do NOT wait to calculate how much will this technological solution will cost



Any way , ask a Start Up to examine :
