Bihar girl molested

Today i was watching news on cnnibn. They were showing some woman being molested in front of a huge crowd in Bihar (link). The channel was saying that the law and order situation in Bihar is out of control. As usual the opposition who are actually not bothered had same thing to say, the CM should resign. I saw that there were around 4 guys who were molesting a girl in front of a huge crowd and the crowd is watching the tamasha. To me most shocking was to see Media covering it as a new item instead of helping the girl out. I was also surprised to see all the people watching and doing nothing to stop them. If something of that sort happened in hyderabad people would have belted all those guys. (People wait for this kind of incident).

Baarish!!

For last couple of weeks i feel i am in Bangalore. Pleasant weather, soothing breeze...these are not typical characteristics of Hyderabad. Well people are actually not happy like me seeing this weather. They say this time of the year it should have been raining daily as its monsoon season. I knew rains are important for us but now i realized how much its important for India. Almost everybody here depends on rains. People in my village are getting restless as by this time they would have been sowing, but cos of scanty rains the dams are not full and hence the govt is delaying releasing water for irrigation. No rains means less agricultural land under cultivation. Hence lesser production which will lead to higher cost which will in turn affect their lives. If you are a businessmen in village then your business is affected as most of it is related to agriculture like pesticides, fertilizers etc. No rains means lesser electricity production and the power cuts are maximum in the rural areas. Some villages see 50% cut in power supply. And we cannot take a couple of hours of power cut in cities.

Even if it rains in the village they are not exactly concerned about them as all they want is it should rain in the areas which will feed the dams. Well not everybody is worried about scanty rains. Almost every year we hear the same story about Mumbai flooding.

It has been a huge problem for people in Mumbai. Everybody blames BMC for not building good drainage systems etc. Not sure how much BMC is doing to fix it. I am sure govt might be allocating a lot of money to get this problem solved. But the extreme level of corruption at muncipalities is well known fact. So i wouldnt trust them to get this issue to be fixed in near future. If the same amount of rain falls in any city in India as in Mumbai , i am sure that city would be in similar situation. Lets just hope it rains in other parts of the country.

Take a bow ROGER

I still don't know why i am not a fan of Roger Federer. By far he is the best player of tennis i have ever seen. When i watch him play in any tournament, i feel that he is playing with some kids in the court. Winning 15 grand slams and over-taking Sampras in 6 years and that too when Sampras took 12 years to achieve his 14 wins says it all. I always wanted someone to beat him. Only recently Nadal was able to beat him and take the number one spot. I am a big Nadal fan, and even though Nadal has beaten Federer 13 out of 20 times, i know that Federer is far far better player than him.
