The bull and the bullock-cart





The other day I was going back home from my Work, and I found this hilarious sight. A bullock-cart is being used as a garbage career, and clicked them.


Three thoughts run though my mind




  • It is funny to see such thing in India’s HI-Tech city, Bangalore.



  • It is good at least there is some provision to get the garbage collected from the big apartment complex. At least the nearby empty place will not become the dumping yard for the garbage. But i also have a question, "Is this facility arranged by the Civic authority?"



  • Where is this garbage being dumped? Obviously not far off, at the designated place, the dumping yard. So, where...? If they dump this some place nearby, it can be big health hazards for the locality.



Your comments please!! :-)

Who is responsible for the power cuts and how??

Power –cuts <-> Bangalore

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
According to one this blog by The Bangalorean, there are power-cuts in Bangalore. I think there are power-cuts all over India. But who is/are responsible for this, candidates are
The public (Aam Junta)
The Government
The Electricity generating and distributing agencies
I think all above are culprits. Your opinion please ….

How about legalizing the corruption!! :)

India is one of the most corrupted nation according to the post http://us.rediff.com/money/2003/oct/07corrupt.htm
Now what if i take in a different way, and i say that corruption is actually not corruptoin but just a norm or a tip.
The problem with corruption as we experience that there is an element of intimidation to it. Since it is not going to go away (being pessimistic), we should consider legalising it. It should be considered a form of a tip, an obligatory service tax, and the government could promulgate a tip schedule for the babus and cops in its employ. And the Supreme Court could do the same for the judiciary, with a special discount rate for losers. The righteous and upright officials could always decline the tip. Everything will be above board. Transactions and trials will be speeded up. And the government will not have to worry about increasing salaries. In one fell swoop corruption as we know will disappear. Perhaps.
