When such people rule us

"Who cares about IT & BT. They can leave if they are having any problems"

How can any one say these words in today’s competitive economy?.... There are people who have got guts to speak like this.... This is what happens when such people rule us. These are the words which come from honorable ministers of our state. Off course they can’t be blamed for what they speak.... since what more can be expected from these 2nd & 3rd standard passed people. Its actually great to know that they have some idea about IT & BT.

Problem rests in the domain in which these people think. These industries mean to them on all those techi public, rich CEOs and huge money. Its one way true, but that’s not it. I always wonder why they don’t even think of support industries associated with these IT & BT. For me no need to go & look around to prove this.... I see so many people who are also benefiting. I always see 5-6 people busy managing the Garden. People who clean glasses of the building. House keeping staff. At least 10 caterer’s benefit from the cafeteria. Security persons. Travel facility provider.... the list can go on!!!!!

In short, these industries mean "EMPLOYMENT".... and the day our politicians realize this; our life will be much better. Revenue generated by these industries is enormous. They contribute a huge chunk to the state treasury. In returns they are not supposed to expect anything. Current attitude of our politicians just suggest this. Irresponsible statements are given in return to any harsh decisions taken by these companies. Why are these companies here? What makes them leave their own country & have a huge setup here? Simple answer is more earnings...... If they feel that their business is suffering due to any negligence from this government they will LEAVE this place.

Expecting that these industries cant relocate is just high hope.... These MNCs are very clever. They never invest in infrastructure..... Yes it will cost them to relocate but they can do it any time as its not impossible for these industries!!!! Just imagin situation where in all these IT & BT industries decide to move to else where.... What will happen to all these huge concrete structures? Who will give employment to people who are in support to these industries. Where will all those land lords go who loot techi guys????

It feels really sad even in this 21st century... we are ruled by these bunch of assholes!!!!! But whom to blame we are the one elected. These are the outputs of this biggest democracy in this world.... It really hurts that all TAX we pay from our hard earned money goes into the pockets these morons. Where does all the money go... there is no proper infrastructure... no security... Our tax money is only meant to make these Politicians rich!!!!!!.....

NOW BE PREPARED FOR A WONDERFUL BUDGET FROM THESE...........

My home town.....

Its the place where I spent most memorable time of my life.. Yes my childhood. SHIMOGA a wonderful place with nice people. Its a district head quarters with pleanty of schools, temples, festivals, trees and off course potholes.

This place is described as 'Malenadu' in kannada.... meaning place with lots of hills, green and prosperous. Place is surrounded with enormous flora. River Tunga flows thru the city. A dam is also constructed for this river at Gajanooru 15Km from Shimoga. There are lots of temples in this city and small festivals are held often. Processions of deity are taken during these festivals. People offer their prayer when the palanquin passes thru the streets. One interesting festival is 'Seetha kalyana'. This is the celebration of Lord Rama's wedding. It’s a great event that continues for 5 days. Once in every 3 years there will be Maariamma Jatre... Goddess Maari is believed to be the protector of the place. Mother Maari's idol will be made of wood, which is kept in the temple for 3 days. During these days animal sacrifice are made to impress the deity.

Farming is the main business here. People grow areca in the farms surrounding Shimoga. All India areca mandi merchant head office is in Shimoga. This place is the highest producer & supplier of areca in India.

Though this city radius is hardly 6Km you will find plenty of city bus. No it’s not a matter to be happy. Want to know why? Then travel in those buses. Since for every 5min there is a bus to any other place, we can find one bus running behind the other. With very small population how can these buses run full? So they move also very slow!!!!! Slow meaning even bullock cart can overtake them. It’s a pain to travel in these buses as they take hell lot of time just to cover a distance of 4-5Km. But I have to admit no one can drive fast in the city filled with potholes. These potholes are so huge people even planted saplings in them to mark protest against the feckless government.

Actually speaking there is nothing great about this place.... but I don't know why I love it so much......
