Shape of Things to Come ?

Ø GOI will come out with a tender for 5 million Aakash Tablets by end of this month

Ø All the tablets will have to be supplied by Dec 2013

Ø The UPA hopes to woo young voters and their families with this scheme before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections

Ø Almost 600,000 tablets need to be delivered EACH month, between April-Dec 2013, by multiple vendors

This tender will possibly witness :

·        Some mergers & acquisitions amongst tablet manufacturers

·        Emergence of “ Consortiums of Manufacturers “

·        Jumping into fray by some leading Indian Smart phone manufacturers ( since they might be better placed to re-configure their smart phone assembly lines to assemble tablets )

·        Setting up of local assembly lines by leading foreign manufacturers ( who have their eyes glued to the expected tender for 400 million smart phones that GOI wants to distribute free to “ Poor “ Aadhar card holders )

This is going to be a “ Mother of all Battles “ which will decide the contours of India’s mobile devices industry

GOING THE PIGS WAY ?

Where PIGS stands for Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain

Is India too going PIGS way to financial bankruptcy ?

It is very likely , if we keep on ,

·       Rejecting financial reforms

·       Living beyond our means

·       Spending more than what we earn

·       Borrowing from the World

·       Printing currency notes

·       Sacrificing tomorrow for today’s sake

  

PIGS countries did precisely this – and for years

Now , they have no one to bail them out !

Germany / France / European Central Bank are dictating them to,

  

·       Eat / drink / wear less ( preferably, live on air )

·       Work longer hours on lesser salaries

·       Give up pension benefits

·       Retire late

·       Sell their infrastructure to China

·       Support their 25 year old jobless children

·       Get their National Budgets pre-approved by ECB

  

If UPA-2 rolls back price rise in diesel / LPG and withdraw FDI in retail , we too , will go the PIGS way !

Sure, UPA-2 government should go , but not for economic reforms

It must be thrown out for Coal-gate , 2G , CWG , endless scams

BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

As reported in DNA [Sept. 04, 2012], here are the findings of a study conducted by,

• Centre for International Higher Education ( Boston )
• The Higher School of Economics  ( Moscow )

on

• Salaries earned by teachers at Asst Professor level

• In Government and Aided Educational Institutions

• On Purchase Price Parity ( PPP ) basis

• In following countries :

• India………………………………………………….. $  3,954

• China…………………………………………………..$     259

• Russia………………………………………………… $     433

• Brazil……………………………………………………$   1,859

• USA……………………………………………………..$   4,950

• Canada………………………………………………. $   5,733

So , Coal-gate not withstanding , India does seem to be shining , at least on Government owned / assisted College-gates !

And since 90 % of “ Private / Non-Aided “ colleges are “ allotted “ to politicians , I wonder how do these figures compare in these “ College-Blocks “ , which continue to collect from each admitted student , millions of rupees by way of “ Donations / Capitation Fees “

Who is worried about cancellation of allotment of “Coal-blocks “ !

Reaching for Aakash ?

Yes , Mr Prime Minister
You can deliver on your promises , by distributing Aakash2 tablets ( being developed by IIT- Bombay ) to 20 Crore Indians who have registered for Aadhar Identification so far
In your Independence Day speech , you made following promises – all of which can come true by employing latest software / apps , specified by IIT-B
Before distributing Aakash2 to 20 Crore Aadhar Card-Holders , just ensure that these tablets are integrated / pre-installed with :
 “ Aadhar Identification Number “ of Nandan Nilekani
To fulfill your promise :
“ It will be our endeavour to ensure that all households benefit from bank accounts in the next 2 years. “
 “ Mobile Wallet “ app of Sam Pitroda
To fulfill your promise :
“ We want to create a system in which money from Government schemes – pension for old people, scholarship for students and wages for labourers – can be credited directly into people’s bank accounts. This would reduce inconvenience to the beneficiaries, make it easy for them to receive payment and increase transparency. For this work, we will take help from the Aadhar scheme under which about 20 crore people have been registered so far. “
 “ Educational Apps “ of Kapil Sibal ( installed on Aakash2 )
To fulfill your promise :
“ Now we will focus on improving the quality of education. In the next few months we will put in place a system of continuous assessment of the benefit our children are getting from teaching.
We want to create many new job opportunities for our youth in the coming years. To achieve this it is necessary that we train them in skills which our economy needs. It is our endeavour to put in place a system in which training facilities are available in many new skills.

To fulfill your promise :
“ I promise that we will work hard for creation of new employment opportunities for our young men and women living in villages and cities “
Mr Prime Minister ,
You have less than 18 months to fulfill your promises before 2014 National Elections
There is no time to waste !
And the best part is :
No need to pass a bill in the Parliament . No need to worry about “ Coalition Dharma “ !

MahaKranti thru MahaParty ?

When Mahatma Gandhi launched a peaceful / non-violent Satyagraha and told British to “ Quit India “ , they actually did.

Because they realized that ,

Ø  They were NOT elected by the people of India to rule

Ø It would be “ Immoral “ to continue

Also because , British , at heart are a very democratic people

But it is a different case with our “ duly elected “ governments ( both , State and Central )

They won’t “ Quit “ just because Anna / Baba gives a call !

People of India have only following options to get rid of the present government :

Ø  Armed Revolution

Ø Peaceful / Democratic MahaKranti

But we must NEVER resort to an armed revolution ! We must never physically hurt our own brothers / sisters

So the people are left with the only option to change the existing /  corrupt system thru elections

And they will vote for which is seen as “ the least corrupt party “ ( people know just too well that there cannot be any totally non-corrupt party ! )

Let Anna / Baba usher  MahaKranti  thru launch of TLC party

The Least Corrupt Party ! Don’t even “ try to fool “ the people by calling yourself , a Non-Corrupt party !

People will appreciate your honesty and vote for your candidates !

Montek Singh Ahluwalia ( Dy.Chairman – Planning Commission ) is scheming to handout free handsets to 71 million poor ( Below Poverty Line ) families, at a cost of Rs 7000 Crores – each mobile costing Rs 1,000 /-

Finance Minister , P.Chidambaram  is opposing saying, “ this is money down the drain “

If he is smart , he should stop opposing and start pushing to give away Smart phones , costing Rs.10,000 /- each ( no doubt , Kapil Sibal will pitch for Rs 1200/- Aakash2 Tablet with SIM card )

Each phone to be integrated / pre-installed with :

• “ Mobile Wallet “ of Sam Pitroda

·     Corruption in PDS will go down
