Some interesting facts about Modiji's US visit [Sep 23, 2015]

Maxxramblings: Was watching interviews with Indian expats in the USA gathered to welcome the PM, across multiple channels. I was particularly surprised to find most of the interviewees were unable to express themselves in English and were reverting to Hindi. Significantly, most of them were businessmen and women, Curious how are they managing to conduct their business with such an handicap..

Some interesting facts about these interviews

1. Most of these expats conceded that nothing much has changed in their lives since Modi's last visit but think that lives of folks back in India has improved dramatically!!! Did it???

2. Most wanted changes to the visa processes to make it smoother and easier.. Truly the PMs highest priority item, it should be, which will springboard India to the first world😅 perhaps Modiji should drill some senses into the Americans to hand out Greencards to every Indians in the US, which would solve so many global problems like the economic crises, , poverty alleviation, Swachh Bharat, black money, removing bureaucratic red tapism and improing people's lives definitely..😜  People and their wants!!!!!

3. Most showered plaudits over Modi for the Make in India campaign, stating it would make the westerners make a beeline towards India, but no one mentioned about they themselves coming back 😆  Basically pack all the westerners to India and bring all the friends and relatives to the US and enjoy the American dream...  huh!!! Guys you have come to the land of opportunities, do as the original settlers did and adopt the cultures and lifestyles which it offers and dont cling to your old identities too much, if it was so good why come here at all.

4. They all had pretty strong opinions about most of the hot issues in India and believe Modiji possesses the magic wand.. Interestingly, on the question of reservations a person mentioned about how the same Indians are thriving in US without the shelter of reservation. Hmm.. that is an interesting point to ponder... How long can we roll out the red carpet treatment called the Quotas? And is it really doing any good? What are the beneficiaries giving back to the community? Or are they hoarding the knowledge so that only he and his family benefit?

This is posted in absolute jest and without any malice at all...

Netaji Documents [Sep 19, 2015]

Maxxramblings: Today Venkaiah Naidu issued a press statement that even though the WB govt released some confidential and archived documents on Netaji, Center will not act in haste but will have to weigh in its effect on the relation with friendly countries.
1. Doesn't the narrative sound exactly like Congress', against which the present govt raised such hell.

2. If publishing Netaji's papers could jeopardize relationship with another country, then, it must be involved in some kind of a unfriendly and nefarious act against Netaji, which could lead to public fury. Then as per me, more than the foreign country I would like to know about the politicians or bureaucrats who were complicit to the act.
Some light also needs to be thrown on why would that country behave antagonistically against Netaji. Ws it on someone's behest?

3. Acc to Maj Gen Bakshi, the video of which is available in one of my previous posts (the link is also posted below), the previous govts were actively spying on Netaji's family. What prompted this needs to be disclosed.

4. It was also alleged that the previous govts had actively underplayed Netaji's image so that he doesn't get the equal focus as the existing stalwarts. Why was this, what were they fearing?

5. Lastly, why is the BJP govt backtracking on their poll promise?

NDTV program on: "A Year after the Kashmir Floods".[Sep 07, 2015]

MaxxRamblings: Today the TRP grabber for the day for NDTV is "A Year after the Kashmir Floods".
All through the day you see politicians, activists, separatists and common people ranting against the Government about being wronged. They complain about inadequate relief efforts in rebuilding. A youth whose marriage was stalled due to the floods last year was focused, who stated that he is yet to get married..

I am at my wits end in understanding why are they being placed in such high pedestal where in all around the nation we have instances where nature has wreaked far greater havoc. I don't remember a revisit of a similar nature for the Tsunami victims or the innumerable cyclone weathered villages of Orissa, or the flood affected areas of Bihar and Bengal.

Right now the channels seem to be fixated on the dark and sinister life of a Assamese woman whereas Assam is undergoing one of the worst floods of its history. When will we have more sensible people manning the studios.
