Japan's mystery

Japan is always an inspiration. Our youth, instead of seeking more military jobs and burning trains, shall see how Japan benefitted from fewer military personnel. Our leaders, instead of giving freebies and inciting people with emotions, shall enable private industries to innovate and lead the market. See the video https://youtu.be/9SmS3qLe00k This video reminds me a lesson about Japan and my Hindi teacher Ankamma who taught it.

Something else matters

Black lives matter was a movement I witnessed two years ago with a series of protests and debates. I learned a valuable lesson from a colleague's post. Some others replied with police lives matter, Hispanic lives matter, women lives matter etc. They do not go well. When someone is asking justice, one has to address it first before bringing all other injustices. The original protesters feel their purpose is diluted or diverted. Coming to Indian example, when telangana people seeked justice, others seeked for uttarandra or rayalaseema. That made original protesters more angrier. Actress sai pallavi has all rights to express her view. She is also right. She did the mistake of normalization or dilution. Politicians or leaders often do that as a method to skip a direct answer. For a reason, I am an engineer and not a politician. When you are asked whether some thing would break a bridge, you would not say something else would also harm. You think about that as part of future plans and not as immediate answers.

Orissa model

null I was planning to collect data before making assessment for a few weeks. That work is done by tv9 and jayaprakash narayan. Watch it to get better idea in impartial way. As usual, orissa is a model state. Others need to act before india becomes another srilanka. https://www.facebook.com/JPLOKSATTA/videos/583461383083384

Inflation

Getting a pinch from inflation. Stations are updating prices frequently. Some say it is supply chain. Some say it is ukraine driven. Some say it is because of biden pensions. Some say it is wage based builtin inflation. Whatever it may be, we are paying twice of what was five years ago.

State elections

Happy and surprised to see the state election results in India. Happy to see that aap won in second state and becoming major contende and it is proved again a party can win without relying on note giving. Surprised to see that bjp could win in such a huge manner again after the pandemic and bad press about idealogies. People are becoming predictable. Hope and governance beat opponents.

India at cross roads of international diplomacy

India is at crossroads of whether to stick with old friend who himself may not see us as friend or find new friends with similar idealogies on capitalism and democracy. No one is perfect but economy trumps all idealogies. No one is friend or enmery forever in international relations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NU_ezeTk_0
