My Frustrations - 3

Puppet instruments of democracy

The pathetic state of the Roads that I travel everyday remains the same from last 20 years, and last 20 years has seen all three major parties forming Govts - This is to establish and rule out that any Political Party would make any difference to City's infrastructure.

Now on the Govt's proposal to make changes to the Municipality which they think will be better, is vehemently opposed by citizens and opposition. Not sure what the citizen's expectations are - be it one Board or multiple boards, it's the same people, same system and same inefficiencies. What worse can happen? The roads, water logging, traffic, Dev works will remain same!?

Atleast the Govt is thinking! They are "trying" ways out...beyond that, none of us have any hope!

A Law was proposed, passed in both the houses, opposition did not have numbers to stop it, so they took the backdoor route and asked the Puppet Governer to stop it.

Unlike in the Center, where there is no one to question and Laws are being made at whims and fancies, and cases of Farm Laws is still not a lesson!

Desperate American Dream

A loosely knit 28 sub nations together, is bound to be filled with chaos, yet we are born here and we have to play our role in keeping the country going, with all it's flaws and impropriety.

Though most of us pour out our frustrations about politics, infra, value for life, dishonesty and I myself vomiting my frustrations in every single writeup, do we even think running away from the country is the solution?

What Trump might be doing could be with a good intent, but the audacity and offensive way in which he is rejecting all other countries and their people, is shocking. Yet, I don't understand the desperation of people to forcefit themselves in US, shunning their own country and their own people, to live an American Dream!!

The rest of the world has to now learn and adapt to survive and sustain without depending on US. It's like a past relationship, no point clinging on when we are abused, humiliated in the relation.... it will be difficult, we will sulk, but let's move on!

Why should US reject, let us all other countries isolate that one country, and rest of the world can continue with international trade cooperation.

Fading US hold

Hope the thinktank has started to realize a world without America, and the world's dependency on America for acceptance, approval, advice, jobs, technology, economy, aid, trade and business.

Once we realize this, the next step is to see what can we do to be self reliant.

Unfortunately, India has seen an influx of Startups just building Apps to deliver, deliver fast, eat, sleep, breathe, shit. We need to start building real Technology that can solve real world problems.

The present startup ecosystem also cannot be blamed, since they were only matching the demand, where these MNCs were paying vulgar, insane, unjustified salaries to the Employees.

And since everyone had money at hand, the spend, convenience and comfort were the focus areas. Though these Startups did generate a lot of Jobs for unskilled labour, it again doubled the traffic problem.

A friend working in an MNC said interns were being offered a package of 16 Lakhs, it's just hysterical!

Now that the economy will slow down, exports will cease, salaries could be normalised, demand for convenience slows down, let's focus on building real Tech, good products that can make our country more strong and self reliant, especially FinTech, AgriTech, MedTech
