Media

Yesterday's demonstrations in Maharashtra, I feel are triggered by the publicity given in the Media. It was definetely bad about the incident in Kanpur. Media should be more careful about sensitive issues.
At the same time they are doing a yeomen job--Head of Medicine at Osmania Medical College ,Hyderabad was caught on Camera by E-TV (Telugu) taking a bribe of Rs. 20000/- for helping students in Practicals !!! If this is the way people get Medical Degrees , what about the fate of mortals like us ? How do we categorise them? Do we have to ask a doctor from where he got his Degree before we surrender our body to him ?.God save the country !!!!

TV Soaps

Recently our cable chap has disconnected Star Plus and my wife who is an ardent fan of Ekta Kapoor was very much upset. So I started surfing the Net and came out in flying colours with this site which in fact Video clips of all Soaps which were shown the previous night( Without the irritating Breaks for Ads ) http://www.india-forums.com/

Discussion in Parliament

There was a heated discussion in the Parliament on the Indian Team's debacle in the Durban ODI. As usual the speakers were gunning for Dravid, Chappel, even Sharad Pawar.
What takes the cake is a demand by Ramdas Athawale of RPI-- Have reservations for SC/ST/OBC !! Now Mr. Arjun Singh should be given the job of monitoring the Bill !!
We must applaud our great Parliamentarians for all innovative ideas.

Harephala

I thought I will sign my Blogs as HAREPHALA. I have lot of attachment for this. It is my son Harish, Daughter Renu, Self & wife Lakshmi. In fact when I wanted to name the first House I constructed, my family said the name sounds like a " Fertiliser " !!! So I dropped it. Now I need not worry much .
It was a treat to watch yesterday night. India did not disappoint me. They played as expected. I thought i I may have to keep awake till late in the night.They were kind enough to finish their last rites by around 12.30 AM !! God bless them & Many Happy returns of the Day.

In fact, I forgot that I do have a blogsite all these days.I was a Times of India addict for the last 45 years. I have stopped & switched to Hindustan Times--reason--Times doesnot bother about my "Letters to The editor ". My son was making fun of me.
Maharashtra Herald is tolerating my letters--whatever be the content. I have sent letters in fact 8 of them--- to Society, Savvy, Sportstar, Cricketinfo, Business Today, & IndiaToday & Womans Era--- let me see how many of them are published!! All on different topics. Not that I will stop reading them if they dont publish !!!
There was an Ad in my son's blog about working from Home & making money. It appeared an attractive offer ( Who will say No to this kind of offer !!). The chap asked me to "pay on delivery"
1350 . I foolishly ordered and got a CD of GoogleMoney. So this is one way of making money and I was one of the " Victims " !!!
There were quite a few Ads in local Papers--Make money from Home. So i tried one & went and met him. The gentleman (a doctor) is marketing "Herbal Products" for various ills.He says pay 8000/- first ( which includes 5000 worth of products & 2500 for job training ). I dont want to jump & join this.

MaidenBlog

This is the first time I am trying to voice my feelings about lot of things . I was writing letters to the Editor and thought that was it.Maharashtra Herald has to be appreciated for putting up with me all these days !
About myself : I served the Ordnance Factories organisation for 42 years ! Dont know whether to say it with pride . I am sure of one thing---never join Government Service ( State or Central ) if you require any recognition for your efforts. There they recognise only one thing whether one is SC, ST or OBC. If you are any one of these, your day is made as far as promotions are concerned ! One thing the Senior Beaurocrats have ensured is there is no reservations for
Class I posts. I will write more things like my experiences in Government Service.
