Members show money in India Parliament

If you are regular TV News watcher, then this news is old for you. For ROW, this is the Indian Parliament's Shameful day when memebers of the parliament showed cash upto Rs.1 crore wrapped in plenty of Rs.1000's Bundles. It all started when BJP MP's stated that they were given bribe to vote for this Government and got paid around Rs.25 crores.

For a moment, a thought haunts to get into Politics and just ignore this blog as its mearly a topic being discussed and nothing really a piece of work. But then... I hold.

Appeal... spread this news, its the least I could do, and I'm glad of doing it.

Child Labour

I believe... these pics are self explanatory. Lets give it a thought - to help/sponsor 1 child in our life. It will change a lot... a lot...!!!

The power of 50p

MTC carries 44 lakh passengers a day. Who said it ? Well... visit http://www.mtcbus.org/ for more details (I just found it though, cheers to google). Now, whats the big deal ? Keep reading...

I happen to travel by MTC for the past 2 weeks for just around 2 to 3 stops (Costing - Rs.2/- @ WhiteBoard Bus and Rs.2.50/- @ YellowBoard Services). Whenever I boarded the YellowBoard, unfortunate enough, I had only Rs.5/- with me in a single coin. The bus conductor returned the ticket with balance only Rs.2/- and cooly said, "I don't have 50p change, you can see my bag. if you have 50p change, give it to me and take 1 rupee" and just walked away from me. Well, I didn't have it. Thought 50p only... lets forget it. Now, interestingly... the bus conductor did the same with around 5 passengers before I got down at my point, which is only 2 stops. Thought again, Rs.2.50/- for him... Didn't wanted to think more deep... left it.

The same 50 crap continued for around 4 days. From a normal man's point of view, this will make him feel cheap that an article for 50p sucks... but think yaar....!!!!

(Note: Calculation made below is on purely on my guess, but still considering only 10% is way LOW... you know that)

Change unreturned X 10% of daily travelled passengers per day

(i.e.) 50p X 4,40,000 = 2,20,000 /- PER DAY

I hate to disclose, but thats my 6 months' Salary...!!!!!

"I threw away my Hindi book when I was in 3rd Standard..."

Those were the exact words from my friends' mouth while having dinner couple of months back. He is from India too... only difference that the state in which he was born, Hindi was far from being locally spoken. Educated, talented, well-settled would be comments about him if you ask any of us in the group, but this remark of his made me quite curious about guys of our same age group.

I have seen many, being patriotic to the state (ONLY), where they were born. Is that enough ?
