Hey Ganguly is Back.. Hope he finds his form and gives us many more entertaining cricketing days ...

More thoughts to follow….

What is it with us Indians.....In the past few days so many convictions, so many altercations, Riots, rebellions.... apparently it seems to me that India thru the years has become an amalgamation many smaller countries, each with their own agenda's, ideologies, future and present. Probably the worst case of a federal setup.

Stats
- Kerala vs Tamil Nadu Mullaperiyar Dam
- Karnataka vs Kerala Border Dispute
- Karnatak vs Adhra Krishna river dispute
- Karnataka vs Maharashtra Border Dispute
- Karnataka vs Tamil Nadu Water dispute

Water Dispute tribunal's
-Godavari Water Disputes Tribunal (In April, 1969)
-Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal (In April, 1969)
- Narmada Water Disputes Tribunal (In October, 1969)
- Ravi and Beas Waters Tribunal (In April, 1986)

More reasons to worry

"100 Out of 543 Lok Sabha MPs have links to crime"

Joginder Singh former Director of CBI
The Pioneer

Nearly 33 per cent were found to be involved in heinous crimes. About 12 are charged with murder, 10 with attempted murder and 11 are acknowledged dons. It s true that most cases are old and minor in the perception of the accused. But they no longer take away the odium out of them. The world's largest democracy has nearly one-fifth of its law-makers who, at one time or the other, broke the law which they had sworn to uphold.

I think the state of our state assemblies is also not different.

Riot and rebellion at the drop of a hat. Examples from Mumbai, Nagpur, Malegoan, Mangalore etc

Where are we heading to…? I stay in Bangalore, apparently one of the most prosperous cities in India. Yeah life is different, but the bottom line is almost the same across all places.
As a Democracy are we headed the right direction. It is time to do a retrospection….
