Thought to pin down some things that have been in my mind for long...
We are a developing country is what those economists and other finance guru's say...But I frankly think it is another name for undeveloped...either u could say a country is developed or it is undeveloped...But developing......are we sure when we are gonna reach the status of a developed? Are we sure we are on the right track to become developed? As long as we don't get the answer for all these....its undeveloped.
Heard that Kerala government has planned to launch Bullet trains to Chennai from Cochin .This can travel as fast as 200 miles/hour!! WOW....I can reach home in less than 3 hrs if it’s implemented. But the highlight here is they have charted and reached a conclusion on the budget to be allowed for this project. They haven’t even decided which route is should be or what technique is to be used. Only the budget has been prepared.Hmmm......they r all humans...who would not be dreaming to become a millionaire in an overnight? so it's all understandable........
While telling about this, Thought of mentioning a film i saw the other day-"Paruthiveeran"...It's an all in all village kinda movie telling a romantic story. The village they have portrayed is really pathetic with all those huts and "ghopdi" kinda things....I asked one of my Tamil friends if village like these existed even now. And he smiled broadly. He told though there are many such underdeveloped (or rather say "prehistoric")places even now...wonder how they are all living......Thanks to the filmmaker for making a different kinda movie altogether. Otherwise in movies now being released you could see only foreign countries and our stars dancing on the streets with all foreigners watching them like we would do when we see monkey at a zoo.
Remember seeing Swades now. It was an excellent movie and the cream according to me was the scene when shahrukh goes to a remote area to collect rentals for a land being used by a farmer. That scene would really melt the heart of any NRI. All NRI's must see that part. Then they would recognize that they are working for the richer countries even while our nation is like this.
Hoping this would catch the eye of someone with same feelings as me..........Nothing more to pin down...Have a nice day :) !!!!!!!!!!

Nice man, This one's better. it throws light on a opinion u have but its also bitterly true. But don woory about the bullet train, its under central govt. And ias i have heard from one of my cousin in the railways , we are capable of using the existing tracks with slight modifications for the bullet trains to run. that is we have the technology for the same. And i sincerely hope this goes thru. Faster trains allow faster cheaper commerce. more revenue.
Hmmm....let's hope this is not another "express highway" kinda promise from the govt, :)
a good one.....
but forget abt the train... not gonna happen...
