Creative Progression

Computers have sprouted up everywhere you look. Too many too fast and growing by the minute. Maybe we are going ga-ga over the wrong ends. The returns you get after setting up an online service is phenomenal compared to maybe farming. Yup, that's right, why not farming? It's an occupation with investments and returns, but the returns just don't add up nowadays.

The disparity between agri and non-agri sectoral GDP is going to increase from 1:3 in 2003 to 1:5 by 2012.


That's like 5-fold. There goes the future on a runaway train...again.

Save it! (Save sounds too dramatic, control is what should be done)


The disparity widens, just another test by this humbling river of life.

For the latter


Fasting struck the British as a thinly disguised method of coercion.
Gandhi was aware that his fasts exercised a moral pressure but the
pressure was directed not against those who disagreed with him but
against those who loved him and believed in him. He sought to prick the
conscience of the latter and convey to them something of his anguish at
a monstrous social tyranny.


Gandhi, who turned out to be a scientist of a different order, experimenting on various principles of life has been quoted in all kinds of struggles throughout the world be it environmental movements or humanitarian ones. It'd be wrong to use the phrase, 'Gandhi would be squirming in his grave', since that was already taking place on his last days with the massacre happening around the partition.

TATA Dhamra port vs. Olive Ridley turtles



TATA and L&T are partnering each other to kill off the Olive Ridleys forever :(. The reason being the construction of a major port at Dhamra which is dangerously close to the mass nesting site of the Olive Ridley turtles. These mellow international guests return back to their beach-of-birth to mate and lay eggs thus bringing forth the next generation of cool Olive Ridleys.

TATA's products have always been welcomed whole-heartedly by the average Indian and is in fact awaiting with bated breath for the launch of TATA Nano which is all set to revolutionize Indian private motor transport. All that set aside, isn't there anyone out there who can point out to the TATA's about the gross injustice that is going to be committed by them in constructing the port. The turtles have roamed this planet way way before you or I were conceived.




Consider this… Olive Ridley turtles rely on an inexplicable, in-built navigation system that guides them, when it’s time for them to reproduce, back to the precise coast on which they were born.

Now consider something else… The proposed Tata port at Dhamra threatens a nesting site that is amongst the last honeymoon suites for the remaining Olive Ridleys, a highly-endangered species that swims all the way here from places as far away as Australia and the Philippines.
