Load Shedding

Now-a-days it is quite a common feature - Load Shedding. If we all really try to closely remember - when BSES, BEST, MSEB, etc (Government bodies) were running the show did we have this?

I guess not. As far as I remember right from my childhood we had POWER CUTS due to say a grid failure or something else. We never had load shedding funda at all. When the necessary services are taken up by private sector we were actually expecting an improvement. But, things turned from bad to worse. Instead of steady constant power we do not have electricity at all. Was BSES or BEST or MSEB generating power from nowhere? Are all the resources exhausted to generate power?

If this is the case then where was all the power derived from to decorate Amitabh Bachchan's bungalow and surrounding for nearly 3 - 4 days during Abhi-Ash's wedding? Where is the power derived from to have A/cs running 24 X 7 at Government officials residences? Where is the power derived from for exhibitioning Femina Miss India Show? No answers on this.

Is it justifiable to have load shedding done to common man (Income Tax Payers who genuinely pay Income Tax)?

Many more such questions remain unanswered for example - 1% Education CESS rise. What has happened to the Education CESS that we have paid till the last financial year?

Is it not time for a common man (Genuine Income Tax Payer) to revolt? Why should we not follow the revolutionary steps executed in RANG DE BASANTI? Did we see that movie to just applaud? Should we not even attempt for a revolt or AN ARMED REVOLT if i can say that?

Are we missing small Happiness

Tying knot is so very exciting, isn't it?

In Software industry it is common that the individual is always on move for projects. Same was my case. I was on project @ Gurgaon when my parents found a match for me.

I had formally met my to be wife just twice before. Just after that I had left for my project to Gurgaon. My project was in process when my marriage got fixed. Normally, when match is fixed starts the courting period. This courting period is what I miss badly. I was sitting there in Gurgaon my to be wife in Mumbai. The only thing that we could do was talk a lot over Mobile phone. Cell phone Service providers highly profited due to our endless conversations. We were just trying to convince ourselves that our conversations were equivalent to courtship, though the fact remains that in courtship the couple talk and get to know each other.

The next I met my fiancée was on our Engagement day. Ideally, a day consists of 24 hours. But, it so happened that on this day we both felt as if the day was only 12 hours on the clock. We were really having very short time. Immediately the next day I flew back to Gurgaon. Revenue generation for cell phone service provider restarted.

And finally, we tied the knot. That was the most memorable moment, day of my life.

But, really consider that in this race of CAREER are we really missing out on very small happiness in life? Aren't our near and dear ones also missing out on the same? Think !!!!!!!
