This train ride in Rajdhani express speaks volumes about the state of Hyderabad outskirts. I had been to many cities via train but never found these many examples of water scarcity and unhygienic sanitation.  Every other guy was carrying a plastic bottle filled with water from nearby evaporated water sources which only contained contaminated concentration of water. People where all over the place sitting bare from waist and attending to their natures call.  I could notice that very many lakes and canals which should have boasted of clear, fresh water at its prime now contains full of plastic and thermo-col dumps. The water doesn't remain good for any use. Still people with few choices ahead, rush to these and carry what all they could get for their needs. Don't know about the health conditions at these area but I am sure, the citizens of this great country deserves more which if for definite.  From the outset, I have a feeling this place looks to be concentrating only o...

Time was such that parents often decides to leave their little ones with grandparents. My childhood was no different during my school vacations. I was often left to accompany my grandparents on my mom's end at her family home. Grandparents symbolizes both of them but the influence and impact that they left in my live, forces me to separate them in my thoughts based on the areas they worked magic on. Even though the habit of spending my life there during vacations started long back than what I could recollect. I wanted to write down what all I could recollect. It would be second year at school, I was very fond of my grandfather's bicycle. I always wanted to take a long ride on it all alone which somehow materialized when I was 14years old. My grandfather used to conduct typewriting and shorthand classes in an institute which he founded after his retirement. This kept him busy whole day and my grandmother used to take care of me during those times. Day starts with routine e...

Often I have heard some of my friends saying the issue with India are related Patriarchal policies. Yes, but why is India still practicing this Patriarchy? What is this dowry that most people are against, including me? Have we ever thought how it still exists in this country after all these laws? I am sure one among you have seen or heard of how people negotiate to get higher dowry and drop from marriages which doesn't fill their purse? Is it because there are no laws in India? Dowry is mentioned as a natural gift in Dictionary.com which makes it interesting to start with. Dowry, I would imagine might have started with a good cause few millenniums back. It could also be seen from an angle where the men of India wanted their daughters or women folk to be settled first before their sons start settling in life. Often we see that Indian brides are offered huge sets of Gold, money, land etc during their marriage as a natural gift or by force at times without public knowledge. For fe...

With the whole world moving to find alternate energy solutions with highly increasing operating cost and availability of energy from known sources, we are really looking for a darker world in coming decades. There are in-numerous mode that we can think of. From our school days we keep hearing about solar energy, wind energy, hydro projects, this energy and that very projects. We even witnessed that states could go on war over water. The days are not far when people would kill each other demanding more air and use  man made technologies to get wind flowing their way. Maybe this state-wide bandh in Karnataka made me think more about water, power and people as there is nothing much you can enjoy on a bandh day here in Bangalore. I have noticed that some of the states in India needs water from other states whereas the other states cannot afford to share as they believe they themselves don't have enough. As we all know water is a source of power in some places and it is no...

Would like to start with a real life incident...Once a child was born for a govt servant who seeked the advice of great astrologers to write his horoscope. It was interesting for them to read that her baby would do great things some day...work abroad(the common Indian success feeling) and also earn lots of money...but the only thing that haunted them was the statement which always brushed their minds...the haunting sentence was that "baby would work for non-govt organization"...this was written about 30yrs ago and during those days in India, working for a private company was not something people would like to dream of...everyone wanted to be a govt. servant...secure and prestigious job...and what this guy will earn in a private sector...something that worried that parents all those early stages of their child's life... Gone are those days now when people craved to be a govt servant, from last few decades something that has rocked the world apart from tsunami and other...

In today's world when we all tend to forget the good and keep ranting about the bad. It is no surprise that I feel like sharing my experiences with few companies operating in India. Now this is not a customer service review or the final judgement of anything, it is just my review based on my experiences with them. This experience might be a rare one too considering the brand value these companies have built over the years. Even though this blog demands an extract my my older blog on the largest hiring company in India named Indian Railways.  Please enjoy reading the service that Indian Railway parcel team provides to the whole India and behavior of their respectable officers. The main issue that I find with the customer service operations India based is the lack of knowledge of the executives. I suppose the executive is rushed to his job without any sort of product training and companies expect him to pick up things on his job. This attitude is something that is killing ...

The talk of the town is all about Indian economy. Once estimated as next big socio-economic power is in a phase where people are losing the trust in the governance and leadership. Wherever we could lay our consciousness we keep reading about how a common man can help Indian economy that too in n number of ways. No guys, this is not another blog to advocate a common man's power to boost Indian economy. Guess we have enough on them already in the electronic world (e-world/Internet). I would like to discuss few points to consider while implementing the much advocated methods. I may not be able to discuss all the methods due to my lack of knowledge in the subject. Let's scrutinize the cause to buy only Indian products by Indians. This is for argument sake only and I don't intend question anyone's patriotic thought. The idea of using Indian products only would have been a brainchild of some great thinker or a marketing strategy of a forward thinking company or notion o...
