English is back on Radiocity FM 91!
This is from my recent Ramanagaram trip. A few years back, while stopping at Ramanagram for refreshments, my cab driver had told me that this car is a water-tank. I was dying to get a picture of the same, which I sure did this time.

Citizens Initiative for Peace (CIP) invites you to a National Seminar on EMERGENCY… THEN AND NOW The Status of Democracy in India today
On 20 August 2005 at SCM House, Bangalore
Democracy in India is alive and kicking. So goes the popular saying in media, in national and international forums. Emergency has largely been understood as a watershed in the history of democracy in India. We take pride in the fact that those black days can never be back, that those loopholes have been plugged by bringing suitable amendment to the Constitution, that emergency is the thing of the past, and that it can never return to plague the Indian Constitution.
However, every toiling citizen knows that all is not well. What has gone wrong and where? Our Constitution, of course, has lofty ideals as declared in the Directive Principles. But the operative portions as reflected in the Acts and Schedules have become a constraint for a full realization of the spirit of Constitution, which are repeatedly amended for the worst. Of late particularly after the 90s, the Constitutional spirit seems to have suffered a set back. The Right to Life, Freedom of Expression, Right against Exploitation… and many such core ideals of our independent struggle are getting subverted.
Is it truly a matter of bad governance or denial of democratic rights? Why is that laws that are more draconian than MISA have come to be passed ruthlessly used and abused? Why is it that the Indian Army has killed more number of our own countrymen than others - that too in the name of democracy and national interest? One of the greatest paradoxes of our times is that more kinds of oppressive regimes, denial of rights and access to resources, brutal suppression of people's voices and the very mortgaging of the autonomy and freedom of a nation are carried out in the very name of Democracy.
In such a scenario how do we understand Indian democracy? In what direction is it moving? What is to be done?
Film screenings on the Emergency on 17 and 18 August 2005 at SCM House. Full programme schedule attached below.

Apologies to The Fab Four, but the paradim has changed. Now its more like: "I get by with a little help from my online friends". Panchalee Thakur does an article on the topic in today's Bangalore Times. My only worry being online, as I say in the piece, is spam and MLM (multi-level marketing) people. Links to the article on Times of India site: text; graphic. Or, click on the pic below for bigger view.

Even though Calvin & Hobbes believe that "mothers are the necessity of invention", in a real, non-Calvin world, they say necessity is the mother of invention. Air Deccan, in its relentless pursuit of cutting costs, keeps coming up with new initiatives. Here's an innovative attempt at connecting with the customers. And in the process, turning customers into prosumers.
