Enemy from within ?

No doubt , many of us think of following in terms of potential external enemies of India :

*  ISIL

*  North Korea's Nukes

*  Terrorists coming across Kashmir Border

*  Chinese Army poised across Arunachal Pradesh......etc

But the moot question is :

Who needs these " potential external enemies " when we have the following cancers silently spreading into our Society's innards ?

*   Drug (heroin ) smugglers in Punjab

*   Manufacturers of fake medicines

*   Hootch makers killing the poor

*   Legislators opposing " Representation of Women Bill " for 30 years

*   Political Parties refusing to reveal finance sources to Public under RTI

*   Netas spending Rs 15,000 cr of Black Money for elections each year

*   Ministers siphoning funds meant for irrigation projects

*   Well-heeled industrialists refusing to repay Rs 4 lakh*crore loans to

     banks , even as farmers owing few thousand rupees commit suicide !

*   Politicians filling up SYL canal, under construction for 35 years !

*   Some college students shouting : Bharat Murdabad

     and power-hungry politicians defending it as " free speech " !

*   Voters are urged to polarize along lines of caste /creed / religions

*   Justice is so slow , court cases outlive suffering humans

*   Hungry is put behind bars for stealing Rs 100 but rich get away for

     stealing Rs 100 cr !

*   Pollution kills only the poor ; rich don't get exposed to fumes of their cars

What is our chance of getting killed by one of those " External Enemies " listed above ?

May be " One in a Billion "

And by those " Enemies Within " ?

Close to " One in a Hundred " !

Don't expect any Political Party to talk of defeating these " Internal Enemies " in their Election Manifestos  !

Missing The Disease ?

Symptoms :

Demonstrations / Agitations / Morchas / Militancy ( add your choice )

Disease  :

Injustice / Inequity / Exploitation / Corruption / Denial of Service ( add )

History  :

*  In pre-historic times ( stone age ), everybody had equal " opportunity "

*  In Medieval ages , Kings / Lords enriched themselves with slave labour

*  During last 200 years, machines replaced slaves and rich/poor gap widened

*  Rich people ( later, Banks owned by rich ) lent money to other rich , enabling them to

    control " Natural Resources / Means of Production / Means for creation of Wealth "

*  Rich / Poor gap became a Moat surrounding invisible " Forts /  Islands of Riches "

    

*  Religion became a tool in the hands of the Rich who asked priests to preach :

    " Resign to your Destiny - even if that means living in abject poverty . It is God's will "

*  Kings ( and later on States ) too became subservient to the CAPITALIST ORDER , serving

    the interests of the rich only . After all , the Rich could finance those land-grabbing wars !

*  75 years ago TV arrived and it started exposing the life-styles of those rich to the poor

*  Then came Internet / Mobile / Social Media and poor got appalled to know how rich/ poor

    gap continued to widen with arrival of each year , when finally it came to a stage where

    ONE percent of World's people garnered 90 percent of World's wealth !

*  Poor also learned how the State Bureaucracy conspired with the rich to deny them even

    their " Right to a dignified Life " - by denying them " Equal Opportunities "

*  How else can we explain , Naxalite movement / Reservation movement etc ?

I hope the Bureaucracy wakes up and recognizes that " Intolerance is only a Symptom "

Inequality / Injustice / Inequity are the Disease  !

Suppressing the symptom does not make the disease to go away

It only resurfaces in another part of this body that we call , " Society "

Please , do not wait till the poor / dying people , sleeping on footpaths outside our homes , just walk into our bedrooms one day and say :

" We have had enough  !  We are not going to leave / vacate your comfortable homes "

And when 100 million poor decide to occupy our homes simultaneously , no police or military will be able to stop them !

Ye ! The Rich , the Powerful , the Elected  , the Youth ,  of India  !

Open your eyes and see how millions of poor / starving people from war-torn Syria / Iraq / Afghanistan / Yemen / Nigeria / Congo / Libya  etc are OVER-RUNNING the Europe

They are crossing a moat called Mediterranean Sea and nothing can stop them  !

Our bedrooms are not that far  !

How long will we close our eyes to some 3600 + children ( under age 5 ) , die EVERYDAY due to starvation , in our beloved BHARAT MATA  ?

Please , do not charge me with sedition

I have learned my patriotism / non violence at the feet of BAPU and fought the British for our freedom in 1942

Now , it is  YOUR  turn to free  OUR  country from POVERTY

Bharat Mata ki Jay  !

Next Generation Newspaper ?

There must be many readers of newspapers , who ( like me ) wish they were able to instantly communicate with a person whose name is mentioned in an article / news report

I often feel like writing to the author of a newspaper article or to the journalist who wrote a piece of news

Whenever that desire is too strong , I spend hours on Google , searching for email ID of the person concerned

Sometimes I succeed but more often , I give up in frustration !

Even when I do find what looks like a legitimate looking email ID and spend hours typing email in Outlook , I doubt , it will reach the concerned person

And since I have so far received a reply against not more than one percent of the mails sent by me , I suppose , these never get delivered or get junked

For me , a very frustrating situation

How can people ( who are targeted by me ) , fail to read my mails and respond ?

OK , even if they do not wish to respond , why cannot they , at least " acknowledge "  ?

Of course , if a person were to actually receive every message ( email / SMS / Voice-Mail etc ) that everyone else who wants to send , it will be a deluge , especially if the recipient is a celebrity .

 A SPAM of a gigantic proportion  !

But then , advances of technology rarely bother about its undesirable " side effects "

Hence , it is only a matter of time before you experience following scenario :

*  Your paper newspaper gets replaced by a plain white LED embedded and internet connected sheet of plastic ( fold-able too )

*  Every morning , unfold it , and touch on a icon at the top bearing the name of your desired news-source ( Publication / TV Channel / Web site etc )

*  Touch a Subject Icon ( Politics / Sports / Entertainment / Economics etc )

Voila  !

All - and the only news , you ever cared to read - will instantly appear on that plastic !

Without advertisements , if you so desire

And where , touching on any NAME of any person ( or of any organization ) , appearing anywhere , will enable you to,

*  Read out / record your message , or

*  On a virtual keyboard , type out your message

A long press on the name will reveal ALL the messages ever sent to that person ( or that Organization ) , in a reverse chronological order

If any message is a spoken message , the " News-Plastic " ( cannot call it " paper " ), will read it back to you

Now , those targeted recipients ( of the messages ) will  receive those messages on their own " News-Plastic " , under an icon called , IN-BOX

Of course , nothing stops them from " long press " on their own name appearing in the news article and find out what other readers are trying to convey - and in what context

If  a person's name appears anywhere in the news , in his own " News Plastic " , it will be highlighted in RED color

No need for me to search those Email IDs in Google !

For those who worry about invasion of personal privacy , I quote onetime CEO of Sun Microsystems , Scot McNealy who , in 1999 said :

" Privacy is dead , so get over it "

All that we can hope is that it is an Indian Start Up which comes out with " News Plastic "

I hope news paper industry remembers Ted Levitt's  ( Marketing Myopia ) :

" If you don't obsolete yourself , someone else will "

Discourage Plastics : Encourage Greed

Two days back, the Centre notified stringent plastic waste management rules to regulate use of the hazardous material and handle the waste generated by it

These include :

*  Banning of plastic bags of less than 50 micron thickness

*  Manufacturing / use of non-recyclable multi-layered plastic to be phased out in 2 years

*  Manufacturers of products using plastic wrapping materials will have to pay prescribed

    fees to States. Collected funds will be disbursed among civic bodies and gram panchayats

    for taking measures to dispose off plastic waste

No doubt , such measures were long overdue and must be welcomed , although I have serious doubts whether our corrupt bureaucracy will strictly enforce these or use these as one more means to extort bribes from manufacturers / retailers / users  !

SOME  BACKGROUND  STATISTICS :

*  India generates 15,000 tons of plastic waste everyday

*  6,000 tons remain uncollected and get disposed off in hazardous manner

*  There are approx 8,000 plastic recycling units ( half of them , unregistered )

MISSING  ELEMENT  :

Abolish Corporate Income Tax for all plastic recycling units for next 10 years  !

Let GREED take over GOVERNING  !

WHAT  CAN  WE  EXPECT  ?

*  Within a year , another 10,000 plastic recycling units will come up

*  100 % of plastic produced will get recycled

*   These units will mobilize lakhs of  " Plastic Rag Pickers " to collect every small scrap of

    plastic from every nook and corner of every street in every city,  leading to Swatchh

    Bharat  and self employment !

*   Recycled plastic will get used to build strong / long-lasting road surfaces

*   Some recycled plastic will be used as raw material for mass-producing of  3D printed

     houses , solving problem of 50 million " Affordable Housing " (ask WINSUN of Shanghai )

     ( This is the kind of innovations expected from our National Science Laboratories )

WHERE  ELSE  CAN  WE  TRY  THIS  ?

*   Abolish Corporate Income Tax ( for 10 years ) for all plants / units , producing Methane

     Gas using organic waste from household / hotels / restaurants

      

*   All municipalities and gram panchayats to allow such privately-owned Organic Waste

     Processing / Gas Producing units to collect such waste from all the streets , free of cost

*   Municipalities will save hundreds of crores of rupees in Garbage Collection

*   State Electricity Boards will set up Gas based Power Plants , next to these units and buy

     the gas for power generation

If this suggestion is implemented , we would have SWATCHH  BHARAT in 2 years

And , we would have harnessed human GREED ( viz: avoid income tax ) of our Start Ups to solve the problem of pollution

No more fires in Deonar dumping ground  !

I hope Shri Prakash Javadekar-ji is listening

Making of a NPA ?

A news report tells about NHA ( National Highway Authority ) planning a 13 Km long pod-based Personal Rapid Transit ( PRT ) network in Gurgaon , at a cost of Rs 850 Crores , which will be Built / Owned / Operated ( BOT ) , by a private contractor for a period of 25 years , during which , it will recover the cost ( and , make some profit ? )

SALIENT  FEATURES :

*  Pods will carry 5 passengers who will be picked up at Docking Stations

*  A group can also " hire " an entire pod to take to desired destination ( 16 in all )

*  Pods will be suspended from overhead rails, and run on a guide way at close intervals

*  Pods are " automated " ( just touch destination icon on a screen ? )

MY  TAKE :

*  Dozens of Highways built under BOT system remain un-built or languish for want of sufficient paying traffic , resulting in contractors having suffered huge losses and now , NDA government trying to salvage these . Contractors are desperately trying to get out of their legal commitments

*  With no contractor coming forward for new projects , BOT system is nearly ditched and Govt has decided that it will finance future road projects, on its own

*  Contractors are unable to repay to banks , Rs 40,000 Crores worth loans ( I presume , in

case of PRT as well , private contractor will need a bank loan )

*  As to the ticket-price to be charged , a dispute has been going on ( now pending in Court ) , between Govt of Maharashtra and Reliance , in case of Mumbai Metro , for 2 years

*  Trans Harbor Link project ( in Mumbai ) was tendered and scrapped twice on the question of " Projected Traffic " and " Projected Revenue " and " Viability Gap Funding " , delaying the project by 10 years and consequent cost-escalation of 200 %  !

*  Has PRT compared  its " Ticket Price per Km " with ,

    *  Private and State owned buses plying on Delhi / Gurgaon roads  ?

    *  Delhi Metro ?

    *  Private taxis and auto-rickshaws ?

    *  Uber / Ola  ?

*   PRT can run only on a FIXED GUIDE WAY , and to DEFINED Destinations  only , whereas private taxis can take a passenger ANYWHERE

This means , PRT cannot compete with the destination FLEXIBILITY of taxis !

That means , its pricing / timings would need to be better than Delhi Metro !

*  Is it not highly " probable " that , much before PRT starts ( 2 years , at least ? ), private air-conditioned , Motorbike Taxis will arrive in Delhi , making PRT a " Non Starter " ?

I wonder if those bankers lending loan to PRT builder will search for answers to the above mentioned issues in DPR

Or , as is the current practice , they will write-off Rs 850 cr as NPA , when time comes  !

I hope NDA government / RBI spend more time / effort / energy to lay down " loan approval criteria " which will prevent future NPAs , than on cleaning up the current NPAs !

LESSONS FROM DISTANT PAST ?

In the epic story of RAMAYAN , following incidence is described :

After Sita's abduction by Ravana , Lord Rama invaded the isle of Lanka with his army

A fierce battle followed

At one point , when Ravana feared that he might lose the battle , he asked two of his ace warriors , Ahi-Ravana and Mahi-Ravana to go and fight Rama

When an arrow of Rama hit these brothers , hundreds of drops of blood would fall on the ground

But , horror of horror !

From each drop of blood, arose another clone of Ahi-Ravana / Mahi-Ravana !

So , a hundred drops of blood gave rise to another hundred demons !

And when Rama's arrows hit those hundred demons and shed ten thousand drops of blood , ten thousand demons got multiplied !

There was no way , Rama could win this battle

So , he asked Vibhishan ( pious brother of Ravana who had defected to Rama's side ) :

" Vibhishan, what is the secret behind this chain reaction ? "

Vibhishan replied :

" A wasp ( bumblebee ) delivers the Nectar from a Fountain of Immortality located in Pataal ( the nether world ) and sprays on each drop of blood of Ahi-Ravana / Mahi-Ravana, which gives birth to yet another clone "

Immediately , Rama dispatched Hanuman to go, destroy the wasp

That done , killing Ahi-Ravana / Mahi-Ravana was easy

Proud Indians will proclaim that here is the proof that we Indians invented the following :

*    Cloning through Stem Cell reproduction

*    Delivery using drones

*    Controlled Chain Reaction

*    3D Printing

*    Nano Technology

*    Mass Production of Living Organisms

*    Discovery of Anti-aging Genes / DNA

*    Viral Marketing

*    Anything else that you want to claim that West copied up from us  !

I am glad that our tech geeks setting up Start Ups don't buy this !

They are busy innovating things that help 200 million poor and jobless youth of India ( whose tribe is growing at 12 million per year ), to become self employed , in order to earn a honest living

Makes me wonder :

If those Rs 7 lakh*crores of NPA , were recovered , how many Start Ups can be helped ?

At Rs 1 lakh per Start Up , that would be 7 Crore Start Ups  !

Thanks , Shri Naidu !

A few days back , Parliament passed a bill to regulate the Real Estate Industry

On 04 Nov 2015 ,I sent to Shri Venkaiah Naidu ( mvnaidu@sansad.nic.in ) , an email containing following suggestions

Some of these have been incorporated in the new Act .

Thank you , Shri Naidu for listening !

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E-Delivery of Services to Construction Industry

Here is how :

*  All builders / developers must register on Municipal Web sites and obtain

   unique BUILDER REGISTRATION NUMBER

*  Builders must fill in online, on web site of concerned Municipality, a form :

    BUILDING  PERMIT  APPLICATION

*  Building Permit Application Form will have a STANDARD FORMAT , into

    which applicant will need to submit exhaustive details re the project

    This will include detailed Floor Plans and Structural Drawings , along with

    names / contact details of Architects / Structural Engineers etc

    The FORM will require slab-casting dates for each slab and the final

    completion date when builder will apply for Occupation Certificate

   

*  The Form will have a section called

    SELF   CERTIFICATION   /  DECLARATION

    Builder would be required to tick YES / NO against each item as shown :

    Does your proposed Building / Structure / Project , satisfy the criteria /

    notifications / regulations , issued by the concerned Ministries in respect

    of :

    #   Built-up Area........... ( YES ) / ( NO )

    #   Height Restriction

    #   Fire Fighting

    #   Water Harvesting

    #   Roof-top Solar Power

    #   Effluent Treatment

    #   Garbage Disposal

    #   Earthquake Resistant Structural Design..............etc

Clicking on each item will reveal the relevant " Notification / Regulation " issued by the concerned Ministry

To make the process absolutely fool-proof , the form will insist on an " Electronic Signature " of the applicant

DECLARATION / UNDERTAKING :

" I declare that I have read each and every notification / regulation , listed   in respect of items mentioned above

I further declare that I explicitly agree to abide by these regulations

I am aware that Occupation Certificate will not be granted if my completed project is found to be in violation of any of these notifications / regulations

I will not allow any person / entity to occupy any part of this premises , until and unless , Municipality issues to me , the Occupation Certificate

If Municipality finds any violations , I agree to rectify the same before applying for a fresh Occupation Certificate

If Municipality is not in a position to issue Occupation Certificate due to any

violations which simply cannot be rectified , then I will demolish the said building / project / structure  on my own and before such demolition , refund with interest , payments collected from the buyers

The plot of land is free from any encumbrances / litigations

I am not in default of any loans taken from any bank / individuals

I will not accept any payment in cash , nor make cash payments

I absolve the Municipal Corporation of any liability arising out of non completion of my project 

I agree that my Building Permit Application and my Registration Application details , be made accessible to public on your web site , along with full details of my past / current projects and full details of my balance sheet / bank borrowings  " 

GRANT OF APPROVALS BY MINISTRIES :

As soon as the builder submits the online BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION , it automatically and instantly , appears on the web sites of ALL the concerned Ministries

The concerned officer of each Ministry , makes APPROVED / REJECTED entries in the application form , from the backend

If rejected , he will provide the reasons

Ministry officers are required to carry out this entry , within 24 hours

As soon as an officer of any Ministry makes entry and SUBMITS , the application forms on web sites of ALL Ministries and web site of the concerned Municipality , get updated simultaneously and instantly , making for MIRROR IMAGES at all times

As soon as any entry is made , a copy gets emailed to the applicant builder

Any " editing " of the application form by the builder , will start the entire process , all over

Applicant builder will be obliged to display the latest emailed form at the site

The database so created on web sites of ALL Ministries - and concerned Municipality - will be searchable State-wise / City-wise

CHANGES  IN  RELEVANT  LAWS :

To speed up any litigation between the parties concerned ( Builder / Buyers / Central & State Govts / Municipality / Bankers etc ) , existing laws may be changed

IMPORTANT :

Every application must be in the open domain and visible to anyone , online and transparently

It would be ZERO days in our case !

Now couple this with abolition of Corporate Income Tax for Construction Industry for the next 10 years and witness a MIRACLE
