It was a good day today overall, but only thing that frustrated me during the day was a the news item that Indian Cabinet has passed the bill to provide reservations to OBCs in institues of higher education without taking off the creamy layer.
Now I am no fan of this reservation business but still sometimes it's tuff to miss the argument that to corret the wrong of many centuries few steps may need to be taken which are seemingly unfair. But blatant politics in such matters frustrate me.....any sane man with two pieces of sense can say that stretchers are meant for sick and by giving reservation to people in creamy layer - all this stupid government did is to deprive few deprived.
My first thought after reading that articles and cursing all those buffons sitting in delhi is to say chalo thank god am sitting here in singapore away from that centre of stupidity, but immediately i felt is this the right attitude. May be buffons are running our country coz others chose to Thank God.
Everyone around me is talking of start-ups and being an entrepreneur but i feel the real need for a start up is in area of Politics. Few sane men need to come together and say let's start a Political party...there's so much to be done in our country....Education, Power, roads but the best brains are busy trading Australian dollar against USD or helping a beer company buy a scotch firm.
And what gives me power to say all this when am sitting few thousand miles away, making money for me and hoping ruppee depreciate so that every dollar i make brings me more value on conversion. What have I done to undo the wrong? Nothing - absolutely nothing.
But then there are two facts - One - political stupidity in India frustrates me and - Two - I am not going to do anything about it but complain.
And these two are like two ends of a river and India is drowning coz me and so many others like me have not yet found a way to bridge the river.

PS: But i wish luck to those IITian guys who started some political party. I sincerely hope they succeed.
