Does Education really matter ?

We often heard our parents pressurising their kids to study well in order to excel in their life ? But does education really matter ? The answer to this question is quite ambigous, but sometimes I feel that there is no need for education. To support my point I will take example of Varun Gandhi, grand son of Late Shri Indira Gandhi, an alumni of famous London School of Economics. An highly educated politician but still making irresponsible comments and making politics over communalism, instead of doing its politics on development and upliftment. So, the real question is what's the purpose of education, because eventhough you are educated you still cannot think before you speak.

Another blast in Delhi

Indian National Capital , Delhi is going through a very tough times. Few days back couple of serial blasts rocked Delhi, killed around 20 people and injured around 100 odd people. But with the serious pressures from public and media, the Delhi police was able to nab to culprits behind the blasts. But it seems that the terrorist are not deterred about the nabbing of the colleagues, as its clear from today's blast in Mehrauli market in Delhi. The terrorist planted the bomb in such a ease that the authorities did not have answer to their action. It seems that terrorist in Delhi have out numbered the police authorities in Delhi i.e. they are carrying out their work flawlessly.
Now its a high time for the govt. to make a nationwide call, with a tough stands on terrorism, so that the citizen can walk though peacefully and without any fear. Otherwise, it might be possible that the citizen might take things in their hand and produce Wednesday movie in real terms.

Blasts rock Delhi.. :-(

It seems that India is on International terrorist radar, with every passing day, terrorist activities in India is increasing day by day. In recent months, terrorist attacked several Indian cities from Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Surat, and today's its national capital Delhi. I simply don't understand what is happening to our intelligence system, is it not competent enough to combat these terrorist organizations? And how come without any fear these terrorist are conducting their acts flawlessly. From my opinion , now its a high time for the govt. to take strict actions against the banned organization, take strict actions against suspected people, and place in act with the help of all the state govt. some strict terrorist laws like POTA or MCOCA, which will have its own tribunal, own laws and regulations and will take its decision without any delay. It's really a time for the central govt. to put together all their act, and fight against terrorism with one word, DEMOLISH IT COMPLETELY.

Thanks&Regards,

Technology in Olympics

Beijing 2008 Olympics, amidst terrorist threat , Tibetan human rights protest, started with great galore on 08.08.2008. The 15 days sports extravaganza where athletes from 100 odd countries come and compete with each other. But Technology plays a key rule in order to put these great extravaganza. Timing is always a key in some of the sports like, Swimming. Omega is the official time keeper of Beijing 2008 Olympics game. Every Swimming position is connected to digital recording device, as soon as swimmer leaves its position, the device activated, and remain activated until swimmer comes back to its position. Each and every moment is digitally recorded and telecast to audience for viewing and also for referring in case of any discrepancies.

Another important section where technology placed a key role is Security. Today, no nation is alien from terrorist threat. Even before the Olympics, there was an official threat from a terrorist organization operating from POK. In order to curtail the terrorist activities somewhat around 1,00,000 police men are deployed in different olympic venues. But apart from human deployment, the technology deployment is also there. There are biometric cards for everybody, players, coaches, official etc. Strict x-ray screening of all the audiences.

So in order to make this world sports extravagnza successful, the chinesse official really leveraged technology to their benefit.

An Inconvenient Truth : Moving Towards Next Ice Age

Yesterday, I was watching "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore. The movie clearly depicts consequences of Global Warming, and if this thing not curtailed, it will certainly make life unlivable. With the industrialization of economies, the rate of Global Warming is increasing. The constant release of Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is increasing the temperature of earth, which in recent past was responsible tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and even drought at many places on the earth. He mentioned that somehow, America political system is responsible for not taking this issue seriously and if they they did not act, the situation may become so profound that it may be difficult to control it.

Besides, in recent news every media be it print, online, are pointing at emerging economies like India and China for rapid increase of Greenhouse gases in atmosphere, but the reality is somewhat different. According, to Al Gore the US is the major releaser of Greenhouse gases in atmosphere, with India and China nowhere it. Al Gore also mentioned that, this is not a nation problem, but it is a global problem affecting every living being on earth, a problem which can be curable, with zero emission of Greenhouse gases.

So lets take Global warming seriously and take some strict actions, before we move towards never ending Ice Age, with no u-turn.

Medical Tourism

In laymen terms Medical Tourism is like outsourcing of Medical facilities , so that these facilities are available at cheap rates to its consumers.

Need for Medical Tourism :
-----------------------------
The cost of Medical facilities are quite exorbitant in US and European territories, while the same facilities can be obtained at 1/3rd the rate, with the same level of quality in countries like, Thailand, India, China etc.

Potential of Medical Tourism Business :
----------------------------------------
Though in India concept of Medical Tourism is still in its nascent state, but as biggies like Apollo Hospitals started looking into viability of this business concept, Medical Tourism gained momentum. More and more foreign patients are turning their faces towards India to get better and cheap quality of Medical facilities in India. Some analyst says that the pace at which this industry is growing, it may surpass IT outsourcing in coming years.

Current hassles of Medical Tourism:
--------------------------------------
1. No standard defined legal format : Govt. still has to define a standard legal framework for Medical Tourism, and it has to come up with favorable policies both for the producers and consumers of Medical Tourism.

2. Infrastructure: Leave govt. hospital, even the private hospitals in India doesn't match with hospitals in any of the International standards. Condition of International airports are below International standards, hassles in Custom clearance, Visa processing, etc. such kind of infrastructure problems create delays in providing Medical facilities to the tourists. So in order to tap multi-billion dollar opportunity and to compete against other emerging markets, Indian Govt. has to tie up with private players and lay a plan to built a world class medical and transport infrastructure and also streamline its bureaucratic processes.

Sarkar Raj : Totally Dumb

Today, I watched Sarkar Raj, sequel of Sarkar. The movie is directed by so called creative director Ram Gopal Verma. The movie featured first family of bollywood and acting behemoth's, Bachchan's parivaar. The Sarkar sequel did not match my expectations, it never stand up with old Sarkar.The movie is really very slow, full of heavy dialogues, sometimes the protagonists yelled dialogoue which was not required at that moment.

The movie started pretty well, but loses it touch as its gone up. The Ramu did take up the good story line but he materialse on the subject he had chosen.

Though the movie is very dull, but the best part of the movie is how it ends. In the end the AB narrates that the construction of power plant was just fake, but the real motive was to create a pathway of upcoming politician in Maharashtra politics. The end was really good.

The second part is the motto or mission statement of the movie. It goes like this....

"Power cannot be given. It has to be taken".

In the end I am sorry for Ramu, that he really failed to materialize the talents of acting stalwarts like Mr. Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan.

I will give 2 star out of 5 for this movie.

Thanks&Regards,
Mohit Kumar
