India's Got Talent-go technovate!!

India has a dismal literacy rate of 61%,which is very low as compared to other developing countries in the world.It is also true that India has a large pool of doctors,engineers and technocrationsts who received education from country's premiere institutions but later went on to serve the biggies-USA and UK!

These figures are really worrying and compel a person to think as to how the education system works in INDIA.Govt. spends most of it's funds meant for education in developing infrastructure and providing facilities to ensure higher quality education(do't forget govt. spent crores of bucks recently in creation of new IITs,IIMs),in turn neglecting the need of basic education for the masses.Govt. is unable to provide even basic infrastructure for the numerous amount of schools they established for providing primary education.The people who enjoy subsidized higher education later go on to join MNCs or settle abroad or change their field altogether in lust of money.

It would be appropriate to term it as 'resource drain' rather than brain drain as huge amount of resources are spent to convert to a basic brain into a useful brain.There are millions of brains in India .It's just that we lack the resources to use them all!!And the limited resources that we have are spent on people who ultimately work for US of A and earn in dollars.The scarce resources are lost when they are used to train the brains that eventually migrate.

Although there seems no perfect solution,but certain measures can be taken to improve the situation.One such step can be providing quality primary education to masses at a very low cost(not to mention,govt. needs to seriously consider improving the infrastructure and level of education of most govt. schools).Price all higher education at full cost .and then give loan to students who need it.The loans should be repayable upon employment and in terms commensurate with the level of employment.Those who earn in dollars should pay back in dollars .Those who continue to serve the country may do that in small amount in rupees.

Essentially,this system might help in holding India's talent back and that might help in TECHNOVATING INDIA.

The Chosen Trap

Common knowledge always told that under the influence of alcohol, even walking on a straight line was a difficut task, let alone a curve. Common knowledge always baffled me! So, i tried to undo it , faltering endlessly. The curve i traced around the straight path or precisely the haphazardnous of its very being made me strike the notions-the line had an infinite radius! That chosen moment and hours in vicinity turned out to be the highlight reel of the otherwise disinteresting projection of quagmires of life, reeking endlessly interspersed with numerous 'hanging of computer " phenomenon.I am still painting it for you to see, with the digression in the previous statement.Thought of it as the limit,my array of thoughts digressed more. NOISES! that pulled me out from the haze: "here you have some mint" "the smell ,the breath" "take in gallons of water and pee out even more" "go go go,your room says it all"

muse over music

This thingy is coming out of my closet coz i have just started learning drums. I bet ya..a Dave Lombardo in the making!! Writing for me has undergone about-face in the past few weeks.From the times i used to envisage for long few days to gather steam and purpose to finally pen it down to now where i would just unclutter my lappy to jot down a loosely whipped piece.Thank heavens it's not going that hellacious which i dreaded of. I might as well be attempting hard from now on to stave off those fatuating digressions i get enslaved by.So, we head straight off to the real deal here,being a metal head i am,my blog ought to shed light on a fan(atic's) favs. More importantly to note,i am not a music purist coz i more so enjoy a 'not so high on quality' video rather than a xxx hz audio. Stats and lists always fascinate me for the fact stats are objective whereas lists are subjective.I present a best 20 list where the rank only helps count,no more,i tell ya!!

The Beloved Weekend

Even before the PA system announced, the daredevil guy with his half front foot outside the edge of the platform would proclaim his sightings of the horizon. The tea seller would hurriedly fill his cups with piping hot tea, the idyllic kid would gather all the latest versions of today's newspapers in his stack, the patriarchal dad would tighten his clasp on his suitcase after accounting for his two kids and the wife. Sitting on the edge of the wooden bench, you could feel the heartbeat returning to this attentively still body. The tremors beneath your foot would begin to grow in magnitude and the tall grass across the tracks beginning to bend as the strong gush of wind and the deafening blow of horn would blow across your face. In a matter of seconds, the train would whir across you from the other side of the platform and the grass would come to the same still. With an annoying screech, the PA system would announce the arrival of the next train in a few minutes as the attentive bo
