I heard the news close to six months back that few former IIT students have joined hands to start a political party and try achieve the impossible task of cleaning the rotten political system. But looking at its growing popularity among the younger generation who are so much vexed with the existing stupid politicians, I just get a feel that the educated elite from institutes like IIT are keen to change the scenario
Their ideas are simple - no fancy and insane promises like rice for Rs.2, free TV sets, and free electricity. They idea is to make India a corruption free country - many of us will laugh looking at the current politician barring few. But still, if given chance, if they can achieve 10% of their mission , I think that is going to be a significant milestone looking at the volume of corruption we have today.
Their campaigning style also looks very simple - without much fanfare or hooligan style people around shouting slogans. We have been seeing the same old faces, false promises, plundering of peoples money by the politicians and basically a do nothing when it comes to the welfare of people. Let us give chance to these fresh set of faces and help them to achieve their vision and wish that their ideologies remain unchanged irrespective of their growth.

Stinking Socks - Nanotechnology to the rescue
I was watching the CNN-IBN news channel when I came across the piece of news that a set of professors and students at IIT Delhi have found out a way by which the socks will not stink after its worn for few minutes or hours and removed. It seems that nanotecchnology, the much acclaimed invention can be applied to manufacture socks that will not at all stink even after days of wearing.
The use of it in socks is certainly interesting. This will be a boon for people who wants to dress smart, but lazy to wash even their socks every day. I sincerely hope that nanotechnology doesn't make even the active people to get into the laziest of habits of not even bothering to wash their socks regardless of whether they wash their dirty linen in public :-)

2006 Assembly Elections - Liar Liar
Time for political parties to forget the promises made in earlier election and come up with "innovative", unrealistic yarns that goes a long distance. A sample of the promises made by DMK ...
Rice for Rs. 2 a kilo
Colour TV set for downtrodden people
cooking Gas connection for downtrodden
No real meaning and conviction in what to say - this is like 'spin a yarn' competition. Our new entrant in the fray, Mr.Captain Vijayakanth is promising to build a new city that will replace Chennai and overcome the problems of basic infrastructure. After speaking lengthy and boring dialogs in films, he is now making them as election promises.
All political parties should remember that 'Action always speak louder than words'. All your promises looks like the saying 'Empty vessels make more noise'. Do something first and people will automatically believe you than talking which you have been doing for ages.
To all the people who read this article - CAN THE PARTIES BE TAKEN TO COURT OR SUSPENDED IF THEY DON'T IMPLEMENT THE PROMISES MADE? This will make them more accountable.

Latest addition to Indian Cricket selection mystery - Kiran More
This piece is written after the news that Robin Uttapa has replaced Gautam Gambir for the remaining 4 ODI matches against the on-going home series against England.
Yes, it is time again to honour the most mysterious man we ever had as our Chairman of Selectors - Mr.Kiran More. If we were to come up with a list of famous personality with peculiar behaviours, Mr.Kiran More should find himself in top 10 for being the best split-personality India ever had. Modern day politicians should take a leaf out of him on how one can be as ridiculous as he is, even though he is not into active politics.
According to Kiran More, Gambir failed to capitalize on the chances given to him. He scored close to 30's in the two matches, took 3 good catches and been an effective team man. He is dropped. What about Sehwag? He has been failing consistently off late, no agility in fielding, and didn't even matched Gambhir's score in the two matches. If Kiran More and Chappal are looking at building a team, axing a promising yougster and banking on a batsman with past-glory will not help. As long as we have stupid selectors like Kiran More, we will continue to have absurdities in the team selection.
