A TRIBUTE

Dear Friend

Here is my tribute to the Delhi rape victim

Express your anguish , add your own verse ( and your name ) , at the end and forward to your “ Contact Group “ ( available in Outlook / GMail / Yahoo Mail etc )

Then request them to do likewise

Let , a million version of this tribute echo in the hearts on all Indians

  

But  Democracy  is  a  good  thing !

The Girl is dead

India’s darling daughter is dead

But democracy is alive

And democracy is a good thing.

Every year

21,000 mothers , daughters , sisters get raped,

Countless others burnt to dowry-death;

Poor starve or, shelter less

Freeze on footpath;

On each rainless day

A hundred farmers commit suicide

But democracy is alive

And democracy is a good thing

Each year , 1,600,000 children die of malnutrition

Even as millions of tons of grain

Rot under sun and rain

Thousands die of tobacco smoke

But democracy is alive

And democracy is a good thing

Hundreds die in floods

Few thousands die crossing railway tracks

A million children die working for 18 hours

In dark / dungeon slave factories

Living on a slice of bread and glass of dirty water

But democracy is alive

And democracy is a good thing

Where else but in a democracy

Do people have a right

To vote / select their own Masters

Who , for the next five years, will

Ø  Silence them

Ø  Torture them

Ø  Maim them

Ø  Loot them

Ø  Rape them

Ø  Murder them

Cry, Beloved Motherland

And don’t stop crying

Till your tears sweep these tyrants into the Arabian Sea !

Hemen Parekh 

I SIN >< U SIN

I SIN><U SIN

That could be the name of an android app ( I Seek It Now > < U Solve It Now )

To be developed by India’s Central Home Ministry for successful implementation of proposed,

“ Delivery  of  Services  Act “

The app will come pre-installed on those mobile phones which Government of India plans to distribute FREE , to some 400 million “ Poor People “ of India , before the 2014 National Election ( and on those 220 million Aakash Tablets )

Issuer will enter the Mobile No and that person’s Aadhar Card No, in a computerised central database , before issuing the phone

Hence , no need to login to the App , whose screen will read,

“ I wish to send my complaint to the following department :

• National Commission for Women

• Garbage Clearance

• Water Supply

• Electricity Supply

• Roads Repair

• Rationing ( Food Distribution )

• Police

• Bus Transport

• Railways

• Post

• Employment

• Education

• Irrigation

• Building Permits

• Revenue / Land Records

• Anti Corruption

• Other ……………………………………….etc

(List should not exceed 50)

Touching name of any department name will open a SMS message box where the user will type out his complaint ( in a language of his choice )

There will be option to speak-out and record voice message , for illiterate users

Touching SEND button will transmit the complaint and within minutes, user will receive SMS reply , giving,

• Name of Officer responsible

• Office Landline No

• Mobile No

• Email Id

• Complaint No

• Expected date of solving

Bingo !

Then publish online , a tabulation of departments , arranged in the descending order of the no of complaints received / cleared / pending!

This frugal innovation will bring in Good Governance all over India

Request Nandan Nilekani / Sam Pitroda to help out , even though they may be busy implementing my earlier suggested app , 

“ VotesApp “

I have no doubt that the political party which promises , “ I SIN >< U SIN “ ,  will get voted to power in 2014

Hemen  Parekh

VotesApp

Here is a suggestion to IIT-Bombay , to develop a voting app , to be called VotesApp. Highlights of VotesApp :

Ø  An Android app which can be downloaded from Google Play / Android Zoom / GetJar and the official web site of Election Commission of India

Ø  It will be pre-loaded on 220 million Aakash tablets  which Govt of India plans to distribute to students

Ø  It will also be pre-loaded on those Smart phones ( to be called, “ Dharati “ ? ), which Govt of India plans to distribute free to 400 million “ poor “ Indians , before 2014 National elections

Ø  All tablet / smart phone manufacturers will be encouraged to pre-load VotesApp

Ø  Using this app , a voter can register at Election Commission web site, where he will enter the same data which he has submitted for his Aadhar card, including Aadhar card number (Unique Identification No)

Ø  All of these details will be verified by Aadhar database

Ø  Obviously , those who have not obtained their Aadhar card , will not be able to use VotesApp . They will need to visit nearest polling booth

Ø  Upon correct verification , Aadhar Database will permanently link the person’s Aadhar number with the mobile number from which  registration is done, and issue a Password

Ø  An under aged person will not be allowed to register

Ø  A person will be able to vote only from that mobile number

Ø  After login on first screen, user will be asked to select one option from > Panchayat Election > Municipal Election > State Assembly Election > Lok-Sabha Election

Ø  Upon selection, user will be presented with the list of candidates contesting , from which , he can select only one by ticking a checkbox. There will be also a choice , labeled “ None “

Ø  A long press on a candidate’s name will display details of his declared assets as also his criminal record

Ø  After ticking / selecting a candidate, voter will click on  “ VOTE “ button, whereupon his vote gets registered and VotesApp gets inactivated

Ø  Once a voter registers on Election Commission web site , he cannot go to a poling booth and vote physically

Ø  In less than one year , Govt of India will recover the cost of 220 million Aakash tablets and 400 million” Dharati “ smart phones , through this customized / personalized / shrinking of EVMs ( Electronic Voting Machines ) to a hand-held device. And imagine the millions of man-hours saved !

Ø  And the beauty is , no one can capture this booth , or conduct exit polls ! What will “ experts “ discuss on TV channels ?

Ø  What next ? Election Commission “licensing “ this App to other countries ?

Justice Delayed is Justice Denied

For people of Mumbai ( India ) , this is a way of life.

They don’t need the following proof :

Ø  No of cases pending in Mumbai’s metropolitan courts, for over

·        10 years ……………………………….. 65,993

·        5   years ……………………………….  83,692

But if you live in Mumbai and need to file a court-case , as a complainant , then your best bet is Mazgaon Court. Here is why :

Ø  No of cases pending with Suburban Metropolitan Court at,

·        Mazgaon ………………………………………    292

·        Borivli  …………………………………………17,685

·        Bandra  ……………………………………… 18,610

·        Andheri  ……………………………………. 19,843

·        Vile Parle  …………………………………..25,545

So, if you happen to be a defendant , get your case transferred to Vile Parle !

Of Course , you may have to pay , the “ going rate “ which advocates at Vile Parle will tell you !
