JDU BJP Split, Where is the BJP headed?

After JDU's announcement today of breaking away from NDA alliance, BJP is left alone with its own set of superheroes. With Narendra Modi BJP has put everything at stake, even its  17 year old alliance with JDU. There are two possibilities, Either BJP knows it can stake everything in the name of modi as his name is equivalent to pocket aces or BJP is acting a bit oversmart. I feel the latter is more correct as the BJP just to make RSS happy is losing all its crucial support. Advani this week has meekly taken his resignation back, but they could not stop JDU from drifting away from the alliance.

I don't think Modi can alone act as a matchwinner for BJP as they would require 272 seats, which is impossible seeing the condition of BJP in state elections. The BJP was getting direct benefit of scams and scandals of UPA alliance, but now BJP is lost in its own drama. Instead of projecting itself as a national party BJP is now a carrom board for RSS.

With the third front also coming up whats cooking for the next lok sabha elections? And what about Laloo..will this split create more problems for him?

Israel called 'bluff' this time?

On January 30, Israel millitary counducted multiple airstrikes on the supposedly convoy carrying sophisticated Russian made SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles to Lebanon. This convoy according to U.S officials were a part of arms transfer which Israel had warned earlier. According to Syria it hit a research center.

Syria remained silent. Now the question arises that how come an attack on the Syrian sovereignity draws no reaction from Syria?..As well as Iran, who had warned that any attack on Syria would be attack on itself?.
The Answers are many. Iran could be in a crucial stage of uranium enrichment, so basically it is avoiding any war. Syria on the other hand doesn't want the Syrian Free Army to get some 'Tag team' support from Israel.

But..Hold on there is some more. Did Syria just 'bluffed' about the weapons transfer to Lebanon and invited an Israel attack on those convoys. As Barak had already stated earlier in the week that they are 'closely watching the situation and would respond to it effectively. Syria played it too well to end its nearly 2 year civil war and Israel called the bluff. The attack not only could drive attention towards Israel, it could also 'Re-unite' the war torn country against it.

Israel played it too early. This could be a turning point for the Syrian civil war and could pose serious consequences for Israel.

India needs more engineers...with brains

Well just scrolling through the news archives i found a very astonishing piece of news. According to evaluation conducted by Nasscom an IT body only 50% of the total engineers were employable in india.

Its quite sad how India is focusses on quantity rather than quality. The education system of India needs a major change over. What I believe is that the problem lies in the language. We as Indian proudly sing the National Anthem on Independence day but we have left our liguistic instincts far behind. Whether we belong to any state, speaking any language than english..we are forced day after day to shallow the bitter 'tablet' called 'English'.

I ask..Why can't we study in our own language. And after all we can't use the excuse that we are exporting engineers..as according to this report 50% of the engineers can answer this question,  given below.

Q Did you _______ cereal for breakfast.
Only 50% of the students were able to give the correct answer – have. Wow?

Now what are we running after?..We proudly say that we are one of the largest producers of engineers and we can 'have' cereal for breakfast. How is that..

Now problem is not you..me or him. But the problem lies within us. We as a whole have rejected our language whether it be Hindi, Punjabi or Telugu....and Marathi also.

..This is something we should look forward. Lets make it optional for people to study in english. Lets make engineers for our satisfaction and not for show off. Lets change the India and stop caring for the world as we have to come back to our country one day...one day, and that day you will realise the importance of your language.

Take an example of China..you ask a person on the street, standing suited, booted, with a Rado watch on his wrist and a black laptop bag..''Hey, Whats the time?''..He replies..'' Chong wayang sing sing''. ''alright..but i am in no mood to sing''. Apart from this joke they have really brought up their country just by embracing their language.
