ISSUES !

hi everyone !


While monsoons keep torturing the north indians ,roasting them to peevishness,,,there are even more issues .Lets analyse the prevailing ones around us !!

The elephantine issue is the U.P. C.M''s ambitions! More than crores spent on Granite and Marble statues .40 statues ,including 6 of her own+Kashiram's memorial at Jail road +Buddha Sthal,,all these waiting to be inaugrated .If I be in Lko,I'l look forward to availing the invitation to have a tour of the grandness !,just have a glance at the figures (source: TOI)

Statues of Mayawati +Kashiram worth Rs 6.68 crore.
60 marble elephants at the Ambedkar memeorial ,Gomtinagar,worth Rs 52 crore.
Rs 1,20,74,95,000 for gallery @ Ambedkar Samajik Parivartan Sthal ,Gomtinagar.
Rs 14 crore for construction of screen wall.
Rs 80 crore for maintainence of the memorial .
Rs 2,31,12,30,000 for strenghtening of the memorial.
Rs 2,03,49,12,000 for museum @ Parivartan Sthal ,Gomtinagar.
Rs 2,72,95,21,000 for Kashiram's memeorial,Jail Road.
Rs 90 crore for beutification of Kashi Ram Park.

I fail to scale out The U.P. budget this way !.Why do specific party leaders be statued as national leaders,over the cost of public land ?if they want to ,,they can well do so with their own salary ! Crores spent on building them ,,another crores spent on their removal by the following govt !Everytime I enter LKO in vacations ,i find some or the other grand new construction going on accross the route to home.I wonder what Gomtinagar would be afta 5 yrs ! Earlier Saharas poshed it and now......I dont criticize this step although yet you should atleast be foresighted enough in light of the consequences !

All this prevailing in a scenario when the country faces the inflation as - 1.14 in the second weekend too !The base effect seems to be bitterly taking its toll !

Moreso ,Air India continues to face a loss of approx 1.57 cr daily ; has erged its employees to help itself recover by cutting off salary ,perks etc. ..But seems to be helpless against the thaat - baat of the mantrijis ,the sarkaari trips ,their allowances etc.Adding to the trouble is the high price of ATFs .All this building up a crescendo ! Its high time that we pay heed to these issues .After all its our public money which is being wasted !

While people need to pay genuine attention to matters as above ,they seem to be brooding over other sub standard issues .

Ban over girls wearing jeans at Kanpur Degree colleges
! However the students getting relief by the govt's support by lifting the ban !The principals asking the students not to wear such dresses as it looks provocative and attracts eve teasers.erghh ! what hypocrisy is that ? I wonder why girls at graduation wont be mature enough to understand their own welfare !every girl understands what a decent no- trouble dress comprises of .and even if one moods into exposure ..look at one if you like ..ignore if you dont !At a time when women are thinking out-of -box careers and travelling the world ,such bans seem a ridiculous move !I wonder how such stupid ideas strike people! The colleges must focus more on facilities they are offering and not on such inane bans in name of discipline.They should better correct on what they think ,not what they see !

The next issue being Delhi-Dilli name change !
controversy again ! mumbai-bombay,chennai-madras,calcutta-kolkata....the issue : history vs cultural correction .I fail to understand why one may compound confusion over names,with puzzlements over what n where is being talked of to visitors ,postal authorities ..Adding to the same ,the problem of variety of pronunciations !When India can have multi cultures,multi identities ,why cant it have multiple names?Call me Miss A,Miss Aristocrat ,Miss Angelina ..what care?Let Calcutta exist with Kolkata,Bombay with Mumbai,Madras with Chennai,Poona with Pune..AMreeka with America,Bilayat with Britain !! No big issue at all!!


Well ,issues are always around us..It remains on our part how we categorise them ..how we prioritize them..what is worth an issue ..whats not !

good ni 8 :)
now ,whether u sleep on sofa or bed or ...
thats again none of a issue ! he he :)
tk cre ,

bye for now !
astha !
