In order for the government to be effective over a long term, they need to promote efficient and long term rules, laws, regulations, methods of construction, products and processes. If a system of working is more efficient, government should provide incentive to adopt that system. If something is very inefficient, government should try to restrict the same. For instance, if local industry making electrical products are not able to compete with Chinese prices as China is more efficient, the government should allow Chinese products and not increase duty to assist the local industry. Industry shall itself find their solution or switch businesses. Laws and regulations should not be made to favor any particular corporation. The lobbyists should be informed to display efficiency over alternatives and then ask for a change. Planned, long term thinking instead of short term cost cutting methods should also be adopted, which shall ensure long term sustenance of the land as well as estab...

What if the elementary matters in other galaxies were different from the ones on earth? Have we ever pondered that it is possible for Atoms and Nucleus, the way we know it now, to be completely redefined in another planet or a galaxy. Protons, electrons and neutrons  may not be present and may be replaced by matter that function in a completely different way.

Types of people who drive the world:   Content creator Object/Material creators Service providers Middlemen Scamsters Thieves Policy makers Investors Information Providers These are the doers of the world. They execute the actions required for the world to move forward. Existence of all types of persons is important, including the philosophers, prophets, scientists as they guide the way. However, the better the doers execute, the more the world moves forward in their direction. 

Would you be eating a chicken, if it eloquently could express its emotions? Would you be eating a chicken if it was able to defend itself? Funny thing is, that would apply to plants too! That's how the food chain works, and everyone has to accept it. Tastes may be relative.

We gained our Independence about 67 years back. Our history after independence is much shorter than the British reign over India, which already seems long gone, forgotten. Over these few years, we have had 13 changes to our Prime Ministers, couple of wars with Pakistan and China, resolution of Kashmir still seems murky, more than 65% of the population still living under $2 a day which by any reasonable standards is way below poverty line, our GDP growth today is the lowest ever, INR - USD exchange rates are the highest ever, and infrastructure development is dotted with sub-standard quality construction and corruption which is eroding the feathers off the gold swan that India once was. The British on the other hand, built our rail networks, started the use of the telegraph system, taught us how to harvest and process tea, taught us the English language - a means through which we are able to connect to the entire world and able to travel and settle in foreign countries effortlessly, a...

The Economic Times Sunday edition makes your mind go out and think. It presents facts from various facets of life, science and business and allows the reader to really wonder how this all works. It's a modern and current how-stuff-works concept which works very well with educated or inquisitive readers. In fact, even though I miss the newspaper on every weekday (because I'm a late riser) I wait for each Sunday's edition of Eco Times, and I rummage through the stack of newspapers and pick this one out. Its almost like a short magazine, something like a Fortune magazine for Sunday. However, this pattern of writing is very apt for Sunday but would be overload for other days. Its more of wholesome business facts and figures relating to various industries, instead of current news relating to business events that happened the previous day. As a whole, it's a good, intelligent and idea inducing type of read which is very enjoyable and apt for the Sunday.

I saw a brilliant quote today which I thought I should store/share: Of true knowledge at any time, a good part is merely convenient, necessary indeed to the worker, but not to an understanding of his subject: One can judge a building without knowing where to buy the bricks; one can understand a violin sonata without knowing how to score for the instrument. The work may in fact be better understood without a knowledge of the details of its manufacture, of attention to these tends to distract from meaning and effect. -- Jacques Barzun In fact, I often also believe that the opposite is true. And that to enjoy the work truly, you need to know the background and the effort taken to really come up with it. Both these concepts work in their own ways.
