Dear Mr Lee...

Wishing all Indians a very Happy Republic Day! The 61st republic day. Honorable President, Mr Lee Myung bak, thank you for joining us for this year's parade. We hope you enjoyed every moment of our celebration and appreciated the effort put into every performance. The fog factor can be left to nature's mercy. Yes, it was the first republic day in many years that was greeted with dense mist on and around the Rajpath. 
          Sir,
                 Like every year, the 2010 parade exhibited the discipline, passion and valor of Indian soldiers. From BSF to NCC students all paid respect to the Indian Tricolour in the proud memory of the enforcement of our constitution. The day commemorates the transformation of India into a People's nation. The eye-catching processions of different states depicting their culture, major products and characteristics amused and awed our Korean visitors. Their smiles and nods unveiled the same. These processions included our Mumbai's 'dabevala' representing Maharashtra state. The folk dances by Kerala, Gujarat and Rajasthan added frolic to the rhythm of drums. We found you tapping your leg to our music Mr Lee. Surely you enjoyed watching it. These processions were followed by the performances by school children to signify the importance of healthy lifestyle. A small aerobics skit. All eyes rose to the flypast of the Indian Air force with fighter planes zooming in different formations, cutting through the dense fog. 
           I hope you were impressed by the zeal and discipline in our nation Mr Lee and your visit turns out to be a catalyst for the trade ties of the two countries. Thankyou once again.

When The Buddha Smiled on India...

On 12 th October 1973, David Davies- a geophysicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who worked on seismic detection of underground nuclear tests- predicted that India would be the sixth country to conduct nuclear weapon tests. After 7 months he was proven correct by the ingenuity of Indian scientists and the fortitude of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Canada sold a 40 megawatt Canadian-Indian Reactor, U.S. (CIRUS) to India in 1956. India had the necessary manpower and capacity to develop and test a nuclear weapon. The heavy water needed to control Nuclear Fission had been provided by the US. So what made India abstain from performing the nuclear test and from becoming the first Nuclear Power? It is probably the chaste intention to maintain a mellow camaraderie with the other countries or a mere lack of grit in the Indian leadership. Meanwhile India refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty in 1970.  When questioned over it, our ambassador ...

Do you know what a breathalyzer is? The device that cops use to estimate whether a driver is drunk or not. Yes that one in which you breath into the device and it tells you whether you have had alcohol. Well, if there were a breathalyzer to detect the level of stress in a person at a certain point of time we would all be taking the test. It would become a household commodity like the weighing scale. People would measure stress every morning before leaving home and every night before sleeping. Psychiatrists and Psychologists would make you take the test before they call you in for an appointment. Now imagine if this device could measure the stress according to the category of stress - the alcohol analogy would be: measuring the alcohol content by the type of alcohol; how much whisky, how much beer, how much wine and how much vodka has been consumed? Take -stress due to family issues, stress due to social issues, stress due to personal issues, stress due to workplace issues and so on.....
