What should I write on

         Long time! Sigh!
         Indeed it's been a very long time since I thought I'll be writing a post on something very intriguing (at-least for me) but a good read for all of you readers. So after much of a brainstorming on weekends ( I being a trainee software coolie gets time only on weekends)  I narrowed down to few important points-to write upon something which has always haunted me. The growing disparity between the rich and the poor, the tyranny of being from the first generation educated strata of a lower middle class, the high aspirations of middle class community in growing India, totally unorganized education sector system in India (profit making education sector in alive and kicking) which gives unequal opportunities to many  etc etc. So I'll start writing on one of the points given above today itself and will post it very soon. Till then enjoy the weekend.

Book Review: Everybody loves a good drought

           Just finished reading 'Everybody loves a good drought' by P. Sainath. It is, undoubtedly, an excellent journalistic work on poverty in India by, what he calls himself, 'A Rural Reporter'. In this book, he brings in stories from some of the poorest districts of India. The book not only takes you to the awful condition of the poor and the tribal India but also goes in its depth and arrives at different issues. To sum it up, he arrives at the doors of land acquisition, rural health, water management, mining et al, of which, almost all are now being termed as a crucial factors to be resolved for an inclusive growth. It also takes a dig at the establishment for acting in haste(after the crisis has occurred) without substance and required knowledge thereby helping the vested interests. Overall it presents the poor, their problems, state's action( if any), curbing of their basic rights and livelihood etc. For those who still wonder what actually happens in rural & tribal India, please go for it!
