That might sound like being too judgemental about a famous writer but those are my views. I would definitely try reading one of your books to experience more of your style and to form a real opinion.Nikitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717404625299772681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-39241565341577832992009-01-07T02:19:00.000+05:302009-01-07T02:19:00.000+05:30Late in on your latest posting on New Beginnings; ...Late in on your latest posting on New Beginnings; in fact, I'm a late arrival in Blogworld; trying to assemble some 'blogfriends' and just alighted on your splendid blog; taken the liberty to follow your blog; fascinating post...New Beg...

Couple of months back, the Faridabad Municipal Corporation laid new roads in his area and the residents were very happy about it. But 2 weeks later, BSNL dug up the newly laid roads to install new cables which annoyed all the residents. A resident used the above listed grievance forum to highlight his concern. To his surprise, BSNL and Municipal Corporation of Faridabad were served a show cause notice and the guy received a copy of the notice in one week. Government has asked the MC and BSNL about the goof up as it's clear that both the government departments were not in sync at all. <BR/>So use this grievance forum and educate others who don't know about this facility. This way we can at least raise our concerns instead of just talking about the 'System' in India. <BR/>Invite your friends to contribute for many such happenings. <BR/>PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE IF U WANT OUR INDIA TO HAVE A BETTER TOMORROW & FORWARD THIS MAIL TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13010722198516518438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-53931056032335270092009-01-06T17:09:00.000+05:302009-01-06T17:09:00.000+05:30what do u think of urself??u want to c srk in ur s...what do u think of urself??<BR/>u want to c srk in ur saree?? give it ur husband.. giv bangles and ear rings too..God knows.. he maybe wearing them always.. and u think deepika is ugly?? then who's beautiful?? ur daughter?? i'd seen her wedding photos.. she's not half as beautiful as rakhi sawant.. what to say abt ur daughter.. look at u.. ha ha.. look who's commenting on deepika's beauty.. zaraa aaina isthamal karo..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-63535026668906624662009-01-06T13:51:00.000+05:302009-01-06T13:51:00.000+05:30There is actually a marked difference this time ro...There is actually a marked difference this time round.

However, I expect leaders to take the initiative and come forward themselves to makes a difference, because they belive in themselves and have a vision for the city/state/country etc. If I have to identify them and recruit them to take this responsibility, I am leery of how committed they are to the job at hand.<BR/><BR/>I just read about Dharmendra bemoaning the fact that he is in politics. Amitabh Bachhan said the same when things got tough. If you did not think it through and have the commitment to see the job through and stick with it whether you win or lose, isnt my vote and trust in you wasted? Dont they think about how much voters are invested in them, once they are elected? I have scant respect for them in thier work ethic or commitment. If we had to recruit 100 leaders, I am convinced a majority would fall by the wayside or not have a long term commitment. What good governance needs is a long time commitment to be on both the winning and losing side. If these recruited and elected leaders are in it only while the going is good, what use are they?<BR/><BR/>In that I have to respect the NYC mayor Bloomberg. He did not need recruitment. He had a vision... himself as mayor and the city doing well. By his own admission, he is in it for the long term. He has been bashed and praised but he stood firm to lead the city. He did not turn tail and head back to his Billions and call it a day whenever the press or legal systems cried out for his blood.<BR/><BR/>As for the Ambani brothers talking civily to each other, well woh toh hona hi tha! The very rich only talk to the other very rich and the business and very elite bunch in India is so incestous they all need to scratch each others backs.<BR/><BR/>Waise at the risk of sounding parochial I will say, Anil and Mukesh are both baniya bhai and grew up in the same home. Blood will always be thicker than water... and money makes blood in the veins flow faster!Another Kiran In NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949641865013106368noreply@blogger.com
