An IDEA

Most of us (engineering students) prefer to have job in the more developed areas or metropolitan cities along with high pay package. And we are opting for that on the ground of “right to have good lifestyle along with all the modernistic facilities after that sort of higher education”. And this belief is more under the students of high ranked colleges especially among the iitians. This is further enhanced by low salaries in jobs at rural level. The absence of qualified engineers in the development programmes initiated by govt. of India is also among the main reason behind “Why they are not as successful as they can with the capital govt. is raining in them.” At the first level itself, young graduates are discouraged to accede to these programmes by having low packages and absence of or of lower quality of facilities and this also prevent them from thinking for the good of the nation, for the rural development.
If there is high pay in these programmes for the more qualified engineers, there may be the chances that fresh graduates can go to next level where they don’t have to worry about money and their family survival and the feeling of patriotism can ponder in their mind. Govt. is spending so much money to make these programmes a success, then why not it can allocate some to this cause, if this can contribute a lot not only to its success but also better designing and design life of structures and roads built in these schemes. Isn’t it a better investment, and there is no risk in taking chances if it can bring young qualified engineers to this level.

IPL "Beyond all abilities"



“Indian premier league” started on the line of European football league, to monetize the avail madness over cricket among the Indian citizens. And the goal seems to be quite accomplished with the present uproar over the ongoing IPL series. It not only transformed Indian cricket management from a lean to racy management. Lalit Modi “the pioneer of this IPL series” has also changed the definition of cricket from earlier modified one day matches to commuted Twenty-twenty system, with the introduction of appealing cheerleaders, tucking more technology into the game (now earphones along with microphone are provided to players), preventing audiences from getting bored by the introduction of some interesting games in between the break. With the present style of living, dedicating a whole day for a one-day cricket match is beyond the potential taking care of all other daily jobs.
The IPL to some extent whether by its behaviour or by its success is more or less represent Indian economy. The way India is developing, the pace shown by the growth rate of India is comparable to the run rate of teams in the IPL matches. The amount of money involved in conducting IPL would never been in the dreams of sports experts. Thousand of crores of money is being earned from the advertisement rights and broadcasting rights. Involvement of celebrities and business tycoons in the event cause an artificial brouhaha over the IPL. One incident that was happened with MUMBAI INDIANS team recites the lucullan of the IPL. MI had a scheduled match on that day night and DWAYNE BRAVO was one of their key players, but the next day BRAVO had the match for his country and the venue for next day match was WEST INDIES. But Bravo has played the match for MI and the same evening a private jet was arranged for him on his way to West-indies. Never in the history of India after 1947, would India have been thought of dealing with this kind of lavish solutions.
Coming to player side, now INDIA (a developing economy) is offering a foreign cricket player (Flintoff and Pieterson) of European origin equivalent to the money earn by Gerrard or other football iconic players from their clubs of EPL and that’s too for playing six weeks only. From every angle they are earning and that’s accredited to the madness prevailing over cricket in the minds of Indians as well as to the population of India.

Khap Panchayat

Northern India, especially the Haryana and Punjab one among the most prosperous and flourishing states in Indian context and the leading states in agricultural production. Also, in terms of NRI these two states has contributed more than 20% of Indian NRIs. It is said most of the times that “INDIA is SHINING” for these two states atleast.
But when we come to these type of news like “ Honour Killing” from these two states where just due to loving and marrying without consent of parents or in same GOTRA the couple is awarded capital punishment. There are a lot of controversies over this issue and its dimensions. First of all as a democratic country, every citizen has its rights and as per our constitution practising casteism is a penalising act. Both the conditions are violated in this case, and the matter of vexation is that after perpetrating this kind of heinous act those khep panchayat leaders don’t have the shame to address them as civilized. In the subject of female foeticide rate and treatment to women Haryana is having the worst records. Those elders of villagers who defend this system of khep panchayat by rationalising that it’s a part of our culture and in action from ancient time but at this time why they forget the point that its the same history that teaches us to worship women sometimes as a deity and sometimes as one among humans like mother. It’s the same Haryana where western culture has spread out his legs even in villages and most of the youths are in practise of apparelling themselves with the attributes of western civilisation, but when it comes to psychology and relations why they keep their mouths mum. It is true that khep panchayats don’t allow youths to intervene and just to listen. But the society is changing day by day and it’s not the same that our elders experienced in their time, then how can they take 100 % decision by themselves without taking even the advice.
Then come to Indian judiciary system, it is strictly forbidden that any local judiciary system can award life sentence or capital punishment to anyone. In-spite of this dis-respect to our judiciary, govt. is not taking effective measures in this direction. How can one legalize Khap System when it don’t treat boy and girl as equal while taking decisions (killing of girls with pesticides and decomposing their bodies even for slightest mistakes) and condolence for boys for the same crime, when it violates the Indian constitution by awarding death penalty without involvement of Indian judiciary, when it consists of only elder people of village who rule just by experience. They are good for humble cases and modest punishment, but when it comes to the cost of life, they are like termites in the greenery of Haryana.

In different perspective: Commonwealth game villa....








10th April 2010, Industrial trip to construction sites of COMMONWEALTH GAMES VILLA. For some, it's way behind schedule for others it's a symbol of Future & Prosperous India. Both are correct, can't predict the most defining one but form the view of mine 'a promising engineer' the view to the howling arch stadium with VRV cooling system, extensive use of steel work along with perforated GI sheets ; to the roaring high recherche apartments with exquisite rooms lined with italian tiles and most ravishing floor work and framework built by EMAAR MGF gives the feeling of live telecasting of Engineering marvels on DISCOVERY. But this time its INDIA.
