long drive

whr do u go out on a cloudy day????

on a cloudy day like this… u could go shopping, to some museum, visit the lake, go to eat out, to some mall, plan a trip to other city……..

but the simplest and best thing to do is to take out your vehicle… take the road u know… go bit far and then take the road u dont know…. keep goin till u make sure u r lost… now keep travelling… if u spot a maize vendor.. then have some barbecued maize……

Now that u hav done a lot… just keep driving and go for a long drive…..

u hav the whole concrete jungle to u….

>>just sit outside ne mall
>
>hhmm.. that feels like “home”?

just sit outside a mall… whn its cloudy as its today….
its the place whr u can get maximum privacy….
no one will bother u.. u can hav ur own space….
people comin to that place would be shoppers…
they’re mind would be preoccupied with their own thoughts ( shoppin,movies,food,friends, family with whom they’ve come etc…)
lookin at u.. they might feel that u r waitin for someone… so they’ll just ignore u and move ahead…
they might just turn their head to c who U r? or How do u look, or how one is dressed… but that’ll be temporay.. may be for some microsecs…..

then u hav the whole concrete jungle to u….
look whr u want to… do wot u want to…
take a nap on the stairs if u want to….
……..
…….

Interview with a Bureaucrat

Today former Election Commissioner of India, Mr. T.N. Seshan had visited my coll. We all think of him as a hard hitting man, somewhat like an Iron Man, but he turned out to the unexpected. He, undoubtedly, is a very good orator. He made us laugh 75% of the time. And for the rest, he made us think. his knowledge bank deals in surpluses. He knows everything, right from Gautam Buddha to Orkut. Being a Science graduate, he has keen interest in technology and knows all about the YOUTUBEs and iPODs of today. He recommended one book for MBAs. And that would be the Vedas, and in particularly Arth Shastra. He also talked about the new class called FC (Forward Class).While the whole world is moving forward, or is atleast trying to, We Indians are trying are level best to move Backward. More and more communities are fighting to become backward class.He said that he can undestand why the youth refrains from getting into the IAS, and a lot needs to be done to improve or Civil Services.

Solar- fuelling our generations

One of my friends wrote this on solar:

The fast pace of technological development is one of the most significant characteristics of our time. Today it takes only a few months to achieve the same number of important inventions and discoveries that took decades, if not centuries, in the past. Technological development helps raise standards of living around the world. Diseases that afflicted humanity for centuries have been nearly eradicated, and life expectancyhas lengthened in most countries. But many problems have not been solved yet, and others are in the offing.The two common factors that underlie many of the problems threatening our future are the fast growing population and the ever increasing consumption of resources driven by the diffusion of life-styles that have developed in industrialized societies and are emulated in much of the world. Until the discovery of fossil fuels and the beginning of the industrial revolution, the sun’s energy – in its different forms, direct and indirect (such as wind and biomass) – was the sole energy source that inspired and enabled the development of human societies. Since then, and especially in the past one hundred years – a relatively short span of time – a powerful energy infrastructure that now covers practically the entire planet and is based on fossil fuels and nuclear energy has been built. Today the world consumes 9 billion toe per year, compared with around 500 million toe in 1860. While these energy uses and infrastructure do not yet benefit billions of poor people who still try to make do with firewood, they give humanity a power over nature that earlier generations never knew; they had to survive with the renewable energy of the sun.

This power helps us live more comfortably than past generations, but while it meets new needs, it also carries the risk of irreversibly altering natural balances, both local and global. The world’s population has been growing rapidly over the last century and continues to grow. We were 1.6 billion in 1900; we have now passed the 6 billion mark. If this trend continues, the human population will rise to about 9 billion by 2050. The increasingly crowded world has also become a world of cities. Fifty percent of the population already lives in cities and the figure is expected to rise to 75 percent by the year 2050. Dozens of cities already number more than 10 million people. The invention and development of modern solar technologies began forty or fifty years ago. Tremendous progress has been made, especially in the last decade. A great number of solar, wind and biomass technologies for the production of fuel, heat and electricity are now available
or close to commercialization. They have been installed on a significant scale in both developed and developing countries. They are used in many different ways, stand-alone or incorporated in conventional energy networks and grids. They are already providing energy services to individual homes, villages and cities.
