Vande Mataram.

This year I heard for the first why should we celebrate 15th August as our Independence Day. Latest such reason came from my very close friend Amitava. Whose reason was very technical one. But I didn't believe him and to counter him I went through technical documents. In short, books on Indian Government and Indian Independence Act 1947. But I the process I have found that our governmental system of which we point so many defects is simply work of the best minds our country have ever produced. And if it has decayed today than it is all because of all of us. I have talked about the same in the last post.
We are failing today because except selected few no one thinks of the country. We are all thinking 24X7 about our self. But at the end of the day we have politicians to blame for all the mistakes we have committed throughout the Day. I have seen how our Municipality put waste bins at regular intervals. But public did not bothered to keep their town clean. We live in a small town. But the story is same in metro city like Kolkata. We are educated enough to point fingers at politicians but not educated enough to put the waste in bins. Now who is responsible. Obviously the politician cos he is ruling this country.
There is a line from the Swades (movie): “We always point fingers on each other. But in reality we all are responsible”. We can serve our great country by doing very small things but doing it together with all our brothers and sisters (ok not all are). When we fought for independence we all fought together every section of the society fought together. But today all are busy doing only their stuff. So I think we should all stop complaining and start working. A great President of a great Country said “Don’t ask what your country can do for you but ask what you can do for your country”

Climate Criminals

There was a seminar on Climate Change and Global Warming in the women' college. And most of the speakers lambasted repeatedly the United States of America for all the climate crises which the world is facing today. Thought there is not an iota of doubt in this fact USA is the biggest polluter on the planet today. But the exaggeration by them is simply the by product of the left (mis)rule which have created anti America but they them selves have done nothing less than what the Americans have done. Cos if they were so responsible to the environment then they could not have created a ministry of environment for sleep only purpose. If it were not the hard efforts and iron will of environmentalists under Subhas Dutta. The smoke spewing 2 stokes could still have been there on the roads of Kolkata to pollute. And we have seen that how reluctant the government was in this case. And the most recent one was the exclusion of Environmental Education marks from the class 12th score when going ...

Blink: Malcolm Gladwell

The author describes the main subject of his book as "thin-slicing": our ability to gauge what is really important from a very narrow period of experience. In other words, spontaneous decisions are often as good as—or even better than—carefully planned and considered ones. Gladwell draws on examples from science, advertising, sales, medicine, and popular music to reinforce his ideas. Gladwell also uses many examples of regular people's experiences with "thin-slicing." Gladwell explains how an expert's ability to "thin slice" can be corrupted by their likes and dislikes, prejudices and stereotypes (even unconscious ones), and how they can be overloaded by too much information. Gladwell also tells us about our instinctive ability to mind read, which is how we can get to know what emotions a person is feeling just by looking at his or her face. We do that by "thin-slicing," using limited information to come to our conclusion. In what Gladwel...

Food Force

Food it is the most important commodity in our life even today when we are living in 21st century. 16 Oct that’s today is the World Food day. Ironically this year world faced one of the worst global food crises. World food reserve went down to there lowest point in 25 years. Food prices soared. This triggered inflation in several countries from Egypt to China. Even riots in Mexico and many West African governments fell when they became unable to give foods to there people. UN even predicted that this could result in rise of terrorism and crime. But still we made through it at least sitting here in India, I feel that. But still when papa says that food prices in the market are touching the sky. I feel there are still a lot of people who are out there not getting the proper amount of food they should get. Different people from different parts of the world cited different reason for this crisis. Some said it is the over consumption of developed world and under consumption of developing wo...
