I’ve often wondered and written about it on this blog; why do Indians lag in fundamental research. Now fundamental research is all about the research activity in the areas that directly affect common man. Haven’t we all noticed that there are almost no innovations from India since last several decades? It’s even more surprising when you compare it to India’s glorious past. The country that gave the world everything from Zero to Atoms to Atronomy to Medicine to plastic surgery [...]

Baba Ramdev Against Black Money

Regular readers know that I’m a *BIG* supporter of Baba Ramdev and “our” campaign to bring India’s black money deposited in foreign banks back to ‘our’ country. Why am I supporting Baba Ramdev when lot of *intellectuals* are against him and his campaign? The answer is – because I have brain and others are idiots. I’ve the ability to think, analyze and understand what he’s talking about and doing. First of all, Bharat Swabhimaan is a brain child of the [...]

Mumbai Does Not Belong To Maharashtra, Right?

Mumbai Does Not Belong TO Maharashtra

I’m quite sure you’ll have noticed the following screenshot but never bothered about it. Since Maharastrians chose to remain ‘outsiders’ to the world of business, they’ve almost no or say close to zero say in the matters that matter. While Mumbai is very much a part of Maharashtra, the telecom network operators don’t seem to believe so. This is what I found on AirTel’s website and then found the same on all network operators – Mumbai isn’t considered a part [...]

Jeremy Clarkson hosts the popular ‘Top Gear’ show. But the dude crossed lines with his humor on the episode that was aired during the Christmas time. The uninitiated can check the news on The Telegraph. I just want to remind Clarkson that the Jaguar he used to make fun of is actually owned by Indians. …and I bet it won’t be longer that Indians get their wealth back from the British who stole it.

Can Patriotism Be Taught? I Think Yes.

by The Big K on January 13, 2012

I think 99.99% of the Indians do not have even 1% of patriotism left in them. When we talk about our own country, we’ve already given our hopes. When I see people casually discussing politics and country – the tone is very obvious – “Nothing Good Will Ever Happen”. Of course, nothing good will ever happen unless there’s a bunch of people who make the things happen. At present, our hopes are with the likes of Anna Hajare, Baba Ramdev [...]

Globalization Exposed By Rajiv Dixit : Must Listen!

by The Big K on January 12, 2012

Rajiv Dixit

I personally never understood the concept of ‘Globalization’. The advertisements are misleading and no one really cares what we’re seeing and buying. If you have 1% patriotism left in you and 0.5% brain; you should listen to this lecture by Late. Shri. Rajiv Dixit. I’ll be keen to know what you’ve to say after listening to the lecture. By the way – Rajiv Dixit was an engineer & a scientist. He knows what he’s saying.

Higher Studies & Dollar Dreams

Question #2 is why do Indian students go to foreign Universities for post-graduate studies? Question #1 is why go for post-graduate studies in first place? Okay, keep aside your obvious answers and counter-questions to above questions. Answer the following question first – Where do the foreigners go for higher studies? The answer is – they stay in their own countries. Why? Because they evolved their own system and offer better education than in India. So how long is this going [...]

Dance India Dance & The Missing ‘Grace’

by The Big K on January 2, 2012

Dance India Dance Season 3

I began watching Dance India Dance after accidentally watching Dharmesh Sir’s audition (video at the bottom of this post). Dharmesh Sir, without doubt is one of the best dancers in the country and his precision is outstanding! The show turned out to be interesting but now, the latest season of DID seems to be boring. Why? Because every dance looks the same! It’s totally boring to watch contestants come after one after other and perform the same steps. I hopelessly try to search [...]

New Year Celebration Tip: No Alcohol. Please.

by The Big K on December 31, 2011

Don

I will not read the newspaper on day 1 & 2 of January. Why? Because it’s always full of photos of accidents and ‘detailed’ stories of how young engineering & medical students died in accidents on the new years eve. The worst part – it just happens every year without fail. The newspapers are already publishing stories of how the ‘kids’ are going to celebrate with ‘Noodles’ and how ‘Adults’ are going to ‘get high’ tonight. The bigger hotels are [...]

Anna Hajare

I’m totally disappointed by the ‘so called’ intellectuals. The convent educated, English speaking bloggers have already began calling it “End Of Anna Hajare Era”. It’s even sad to see that they call Anna Hajare a ‘Small-Time District Leader’ who ‘Fails to see the corruption of the big leaders’. I’ve said it so many times – years of slavery has resulted into us being mental slaves. Anyone who speaks fluent English quickly becomes an authority no matter how idiot he/she is. I’ve [...]
