Predicting Monsoon

Sandhya Jain highlighted in The Pioneer that Bharateeya Meteorology has to be based on local calender rather than European calender, as it can predict Monsoon better. Agriculture is backbone of Bharat and it is dependent on monsoon so it is better to change
this is another article which mentions CK Raju, who played a key role in building India’s first supercomputer, Param, and received the Telesio-Galilei Academy of Science’s gold medal for 2010 for discovering and correcting a mistake made by Albert Einstein. I dont say that one who has got this so called award must be tru in his analysis but if concerned people feel that there is some value in such proposal a study should be conducted to evaluate the proposal.

Tribal agitation

there was very few news of tribal marching to Delhi. it is not that media did not know it.
one lakh people marching is not a small news. but it was ignored. they could not ignore it completely for posterity so it was mentioned in passing. it is like waiting for the water level to rise above head. it is like ostrich behaviour.
then I hears that the march has started from Gwalior, MP on 2nd October
Next came news that the march reached Agra and there is consultation between leaders of the group and emissary of government. and then came news that the march will go back. What a insipid end, that too on assurance of government who cannot be believed for its word even infront of the supreme court. everyday reversing the previous stand.
Then i came across the chauthiduniya interview. of P V Rajgopal. Chauthidunia does very good interviews. Looks like their resources are limited.
The clarity of thought of Rajgoapal was amazing. he has traveled 80000 KM. there is little more about him on  wikipedia.
I asked Mr Manish of Chauthi dunia on twitter. there was no reply. he is not obliged to.
Governmnet is getting flanks from all sides. In parliament BJP is giving. on street Kejriwal is giving. in business foreign investors are giving. at home Vadra is giving. now this another problem. Government is takes a step of not reacting to the issue. but this is procrastination and cannot be policy.

Varsha Bhosale: Missing Somebody with out Knowing

I was reading an article in Niticentral by Rajeev Srinivasan "congress-says-toilets-better-than-temples". At the outset one can easily say that it was more than a general outrage over the issue. I could understand the background of the feeling. Today I read anther article by the same author at rediff site. varsha-bhosle-was-a-fearless-warrior.
i heard about suicide news of Varsha Bhosale in Twitter. may be from Vijay of @centerofright. He mentioned that she was a right wing columnist. I had not heard of her. I dont claim to know all columnist, but lately i have been following few of them and trying to know bit about their style and if possible also about them. and she was not in those list. If she was one of those how did i miss her.
Then I came across one of her articles on Gujarat Riot. from there i came to know that what stuff she had.
only one picture is going round in press that is with her mother Asha Bhosale. I had read that Asha Bhosale was going for a receiving an award in Singapore. She was there when it happened.
somewhere it was also told that she was very disturbed. it seems she attempted to suicide earlier too. it seems she had annulled her marriage. also there were links that she was engaged to somebody of other religion too. one person who appeared very close to her is columnist at rediff Dilip D'Souza. is he the person? dont know. it seems she trusted him most even during his last days. He wrote a fitting tribute in rediff. dear-varsha-im-so-damned-sad.
i also came to know that she stopped writing in 2003. nobody seems to say why? but looks like it had much to do with some personal. that explained why i did not get to hear much about her.
I think i miss someone, whom i did not know but getting to know when she is no more. Wishing her peace where ever she is.
