A New Way to Elect your Candidate


Now that its the season of elections, and with a low voter turnout, does it really reflect the voice and choice of the citizen.
Today with so much happening online, like banking transactions, when one of the reasons for abstinence of the upper working/business class is standing in long queues.
Is it not possible for us to also create a online voting portal.  
One registers with the email id. When the portal opens, we make the choice which gets registered. Results declared at the time when regular results are declared. 
This one act will ensure greater participation and involvement of the electorate.

All Cats are Grey in the Dark


It is surprising to see how a party that talks of it being different, but when push comes to shove they also buckle down under family pressure.
I am talking of the impending elections.  

The leader exhorts sitting MLA's not to promote relatives. They all agree in unison. No sooner they leave the venue, they forget their promise. It is sons, brothers, brothers in law and daughters being promoted for the ticket to fortune. Family compulsions all claim.

A ticket to fame, that will change the fortunes of the entire family.

So what if he stole money from the waste. It will all be forgotten with the passing time, and he be more respected for the wealth he commands. 


This has to stop, and the time to stop is now.
Tomorrow may be late in our return to the medieval times.

Gentlemen, Here is your Candidate

A Suburb in Mumbai has shown the way for the future of us Indians.

This is the better way to turn on its head the current selection system of nominating candidates, para dropped from above by the State / Central  Command.
If Democracy has to grow and strengthen roots in India, the candidates have to be propelled with adequate force from below by virtue of his work in the ward. 
This will get him the attention of the competing parties who can make their choice by nominating him as their future candidate too if mutually agreed. 
Future performance will decide his growth, but this is the stepping stone from those wanting and willing to serve.

SBI Writes off Loans

While it may be the Need of the Hour for SBI, All signatories to approve every bad loan that is now being written off  should be investigated for Wealth beyond known sources of Income. This methodology could be an easy way of  siphoning money under the get rich quick schemes. Any un-established wealth goes back to the exchequer, and the recipients behind bars.

The Anti Graft Law

While it is a Good idea to shield officials from decisions implemented in Good faith, it must be investigated if there is any exchange of Goodwill in the decision process.
Also while the shield is to protect the official from unwarranted litigation, 
it does not and must not exempt him from declaring his assets which must be within his known sources of income. 

Since he is a Public Servant, any asset outside the income if cannot be satisfactorily explained must be confiscated, and placed in the public exchequer. 
What belongs to the people must go back to the people.

De Monetisation.... Lessons to be learnt


The Nation is Happy at the decision taken to demonetize.  

Unfortunately the entire Nation is equally angry at the poor arrangements made.
The ATM's should have all been Functional from the very moment the declaration was made. Accepting Cash should have been blocked at all ATM's in the country. But delivery of Cash in smaller denominations of 10's - 50's - 100's should never have been stopped.
The failure lay in stopping ATM's from operating. Had the ATM's continued to serve, no one would have been in distress.

Only those with stashed amounts would have to visit the banks to exchange their notes as per norms.
Also at Banks those with less than 10 notes should have been asked to line separately. Absolute chaos at all banks. When I heard Finance speak, I thought they knew what they said. But after witnessing the chaotic conditions throughout the country, I feel otherwise.
