Experience




Experience is the best teacher, because it gives the test first and lesson afterwards. The recent terrorist attacks have definitely taught us a few lessons. Every one now started saying enough is enough. But, we all know that learning is a never ending process. we have to keep learning new things, new technology and get the new experience.we cannot become complacent.
We now talk about the outdated equipment of our defence people and police personnel, just because we are compelled to look at that.
When did we change over to disposable needles? Do we have a count of people who got effected?
Still millions of our people in villages use public places as toilets.Nearly 1.3 billion in India have no access to clean toilets. Peeing in public is a common sight. Schools even in cities boast about computers, but give least priority to toilets. Half the population in India does not have access to clean drinking water. So where should we start? Pick an AK 47 for our police or a black board for our village schools?
Here I feel the so called elite of this country has a role to play. Our big business lords and the land lards have to think about the safety of India in all fields.Richest person in India, Mukesh Ambani presented $59 Million private jet to his wife on the occasion of her birthday. No doubt, it is one of the most expensive birthday gifts ever presented to a wife. Does Mukesh Ambani not know that many of his country people die due to hunger? We need not calculate and tell him how many toilets he can build with such big money.
Mr. Mallya had bought Tipu's sword at an auction in London last September for Rs. 1.5 crores.I need not make any further comment.
According to a news paper report,It cost 650 million rupees ($16m) to make a film and brought Rajnikanth a pay cheque of 200 million rupees, making him the highest paid film star in a movie-mad country.Tickets worth 17 million rupees were sold out in the southern Indian city of Madras (Chennai) alone within days of the film's release.I am sure some of those idiots skipped their lunch or dinner to buy the ticket as I know very well that many of his followers are poor daily wage earners.Some of them might have also postponed buying of a medicine that they have to buy for their children.
So now we have a hundred and one things to replace and change over.We have to fix our priorities right.
The younger generation must do more before they demand more!
