Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

WHERE IS THE TIME TO FEEL DEPRESSED ?


With so much to implement , where is the time to feel " depressed " ?

How  to  conquer  Corruption  ?


There is only one sure - and superfast - way to get rid of corruption

By introducing :

NEGATIVE  MOTIVATION

    Putting behind bars ( - and right away ; not after 6 years ) , every corrupt fellow and
    immediately confiscating his ill-gotten wealth


POSITIVE  MOTIVATION

    By abolishing Personal Income Tax and introducing Amnesty Scheme , incentivize

      #  converting of black money into white

      #  acceptance of all payments thru official channels


As far as providing " Negative Motivation " is concerned , I had sent following suggestion to our Hon Prime Minister / Finance Minister / other Ministers / Secretaries etc , on 4th Nov 2015 :


#   INTERNET  OF  THINGS ( IoT )

     As each currency note of Rs 500 / 1000 , is getting printed , embed it with microscopic
     RFID chips ( with this , current cost of a RFID chip will fall from 50 paise to 5 paise )

     Besides communicating with each other , these chips will also transmit their existence
     location , through internet , to cloud-based servers of Income Tax Department

     This will form a " NETWORK  OF  CURRENCY  NOTES ( NoC ) "

     You may like to call this Internet of Currency ( IoC ) , a sub-set of IoT  !



#   IP ADDRESS  SYSTEM ( IP V 6.0 )

     Each Rs 500 / 1000 currency note must be assigned ( at the time of printing ) , its own
     unique Internet Address , using IP V 6.0

     This IP address should be linked with the unique Serial Number printed on each note.

     Since IP V 6.0 , will be capable of assigning   " 2 * 10 to the power of 128 ", no of  IP
     addresses , there is no danger of running out of addresses , even if we decide to extend
     this idea to Rs 100 currency notes !

Here are the most important BYE - PRODUCTs :

*   No more possibility of fake / forged / counterfeit , currency notes

*   No thief would ever want to steal such currency notes which continuously announce their
     location

*   No one would want to make any " Cash Deal " . All payments will become official only !

*   Plastic currency notes will last 10 times longer !

    
    
This reform will enable the Central Government / Income Tax Department , to :


*    Continuously trace the movement of each of these higher denomination currency notes


*    Instantly locate any place ( using Google Map based GPS ) , where there is an
     accumulation of more than Rs 1 Crore worth of currency notes

     Such accumulation will be made to appear as a TAG CLOUD on the web site of IT Dept,
     like thousands of balloons floating on a map of India , capable of being drilled down to
     within 1 Sq Meter  ! Of course , visible only to IT officers ; not to general public !

     On each balloon , will appear a number announcing , " Amount of Cash here - Rs " !

     This will vastly simplify the task of Anti Corruption Dept / Enforcement Dept etc
Of course , RBI will need to allow 6 month's time to the owners of current paper currency notes of Rs 500 / 1000 , to get these exchanged with new plastic notes before withdrawal of the old notes from circulation

Implementation of this suggestion , does NOT require passing of any BILL in Lok Sabha or being held to ransom in Rajya Sabha !

And it can be implemented in India , within ONE YEAR

But if Chinese President Xi Jinping comes to know about the practicality of this suggestion , he might implement it in 6 months  !

How come ?

Simple !  Xi Jinping has the political will  ! And no historical baggage  !

Dimples and other Depressions

I was batting.  70 not out.  All of a sudden my mind went blank.  I did not know whether it was the spinner taking a long run up or the fast bowler bowling with a short run up.  I did not know whether to leave the ball well alone or lift it over the long on, as I had done on two earlier occasions, or just drive past the bowler for a four before he could react.

I was getting irritated by the prattle that was going on the slip cordon; I had all along ignored the sledging and banter very comfortably but all of a sudden things changed.

Finally, I decided on taking a quick single without realizing that the batsman at the other had struck to his crease and the ball was already in the hands of the wicket keeper.

I was run out.

Back in the pavilion, my family members got around me.  They called it ‘chemical locha’ and opined that it has always been a part of me; this time it had just aggravated.  I know they were wrong but I was in no condition to contradict that.

I was taken to a Psychiatrist who prescribed some medicines.  My wife took the responsibility of administering them.  In a month, I was back to almost normal.  In another four months, I started my second innings.  Right now, I am on two not out, having taken careful singles.

I am told it was ‘depression’.

Then I remembered a famous film star going on a TV channel and talking about her depression and the sufferings she and her family went through.  What I remember is that she did not talk of the depression she had caused to her boy friends – some three on the last count – whom she ditched one after another and who may have undergone depression themselves.  I do not remember having read anything about their depression.

There is another kind of depression.  That happens between June and October in India.  That depression causes rainfall.  Lack of depression results in drought and causes depression among farmers.  Rising prices of food grains causes depression among consumers.  People’s representatives shouting hoarse about farmers’ suffering get away lightly by taking a tablet or two of lozenges to smoothen their throat.

This kind of depression can also result in floods.  Kind hearted people collect donations in cash and kind, and dispatch to the affected areas.  People in those areas pocket some and distribute the rest with their rubber stamp as if it is from their own backyard or bank account.

But then there is a beautiful kind of depression.  That is called dimple.  It can be on the cheek or on chin.  I am told it can be on other places on the body but then baring body is not a part of every culture.  Boys and men go crazy over the dimples on the cheeks of female of the species and rarely hide their feelings.  Remember ‘chubby cheeks and dimple chin’?  Or the movies you saw after childhood.

On the contrary, I understand from reliable sources (my sources are always reliable, even when they are not) that the same holds good for females too.  Only difference is that they try not to show off their feelings; they blame it on the patriarchal society rules which debar females from expressing their feelings so openly, except may be at rave parties.

As I write this, I have scored 3 more runs.  Score card shows 5 not out in the second innings; I do not know how many more runs are required for the win but then I will know when the stadium rises to its feet one last time.

When I smile, my dimples can be seen.  To hell with other depressions!
