Lokayuktha in Karnataka and Gujarat .. People are fed up of politicians ..

The Lokayuktha in Karnataka is after the former Chief Ministers H D Kumaraswamy and Yeddyurappa. Their bail applications have been denied in mining scams and the moment Lokayuktha court arrests these two CMs, they will be behind bars in the comfort of the Parappana Agrahara jail.

Even the Lords have washed their hands off Yeddyurappa who is very fond of visiting all Gods and goddesses and begging favours from them.

If both the CMs are arrested and put behind bars, it will be a big relief for the people who have got fed up of corruption at highest levels in Government. It will also serve as a stark reminder to the other ministers that corruption at any level and of any value will not be tolerated by the people of Karnataka.

Fearing the damage Lokayuktha has done to their honest CM in Karnataka, BJP is getting ready to fight the appointment of Lokayuktha in Gujarat, where Narendra Modi, another corrupt politician is ruling as CM.

Politicians have lost their credibility as they have belied the trust reposed by the people on them. They have instead been seen increasing their personal wealth, spreading their influence and discretionary authority to garner more wealth by unfair means and to protect for their children and grand children this ill-gained wealth. 

People are fed up of politicians and the damage they are doing to society.

Who matters, Arundati Roy or Anna Hazare ?

For the sophisticated socialites like Arundhati, Anna is an illiterate, un-sophisticated common man. But for the millions across the country, he is their saviour.

And by winning he has shown that he means each word of his. His resolve not to give up the protest and in future to take up issues relating to electoral reforms have sent shivers down the politicians' spine.

Arundhati Roy has lot to learn from this simple man ..

When Anna was about to end his fast, he made it a point to tell the people that just by wearing " I am Anna" cap they will not become Anna. They have to be pure in heart and body and be ready to take humiliation of any kind !!

Anna finally breaks fast ..

On Sunday, 28 August at 10 AM witnessed by half the nation watching on TV, Anna Hazare gave up his fast by drinking lime juice from a dalit girl Ikra and a Muslim girl Simran.

Even though the govt agreed to bringing the lower bureaucracy under lokpal, preparing a citizen's charter, giving guidelines in each office on a time limit within which most of the jobs can be completed and setting up Lokayukthas ( ombudsmen) in the different states, he stressed on reforming the electoral system and two future points of his agitation, the right to recall erring representatives, right to reject any of the candidates during an election.

At 4 PM there will be celebrations at India Gate to mark this great victory of the people of India against an irresponsible parliament, parliamantarians and a corrupt bureaucracy.

Even though the government did not want to tale any action initially, (supported by some variant notes from some other social activists), it had to finally bow to the wishes of the people.

Anna has warned the govt that in case it retracts on any of its assurances, Anna would start the fight  again. The politicians, the parasites of the society, would never try this extreme.

Anna Hazare smelling victory .

A 74 year old frail man brings an obstinate and ill-advised political leadership to its knees.. This morning we can listen to some very heartening news for the nation !!

In Egypt the Jasmine revolution brought bloodshed, in Syria and Libya too. In India not a drop of blood has been shed yet .. Speaks of the maturity of our democracy and earnestness of the political leadership..

Issues onbig-time corruption, governance and social welfare are getting sorted out peacefully .. The PM, CBI, CVC, top bureaucracy and Judiciary will now be accountable to the public and come under the Jan Lokpal bill. Only the lower bureaucracy like in PWD, Taxes, Customs, Excise, Electricity, PDS, land regn., Industries, police, lower judiciary  and other corrupt depts need to be put in order (which affects the common man most).

Proud to be a part of this great and vibrant democracy ( vitiated by the greedy, cruel and low IQ white man for about 300 years..) Valuable lessons for the rest of the world ..

The country owes a lot to Arvind Kejriwal, 43 years, the master strategist behind Anna Hazare. Arvind, B Tech, (IIT Kgp), IRS retd., Magsaysay Award winner .. http://www.caravanmagazine.in/PrintThisStory.aspx?StoryId=1050

The racially bigoted Nobel Prize Committee will never consider Anna for any honour ( his lifemodel Gandhiji was wilfully ignored for crushing the white man under his footwear )

Smart power grid.

The ATC - accumulated technical and commercial losses on the electricity generation and distribution systems in India is 35 %, ie. about Rs. 40,000 crores. Isin't this a big loss ? Can we avoid this ? How can Information Technology and Communications help us to manage our electrical grids smarter and more efficiently ?

What is a Smart Grid ?

NEMA ( National Electrical manufacturers Association , US) defines it as the addition of monitoring, analysis, control and communication capabilities to the national electrical delivery system to maximise the throughput of the system while minimising the energy consumption.

Schneider describes a smart grid as a system which has the end-to-end bi-directional flow of energy and communication capabilities from generation to consumption.

Characteristics of a Smart grid :

1. Optimisation of Asset utilisation and operational efficiency.
2. Accomodation of all generation and storage options
3. Provision of power quality appropriate to a digital economy
4. Anticipation of system disturbances with automatic responses
5. Resilience to physical and cyber attacks
6. Active consumer participation and
7. Enabling of new products and services

Smart Grid combines power generation and distribution with information gathering and feedback. ( courtesy Times of India)
