Earth Hour and all its hoopla

Earth Hour is on us tommorrow. Most of us have already promised to switch of our electrical appliances for one hour and save our planet earth from carbon emission and global warming. But is it enough? Or is it OK? The majority of nations which where observing the earth hour in the previous years are all developed nations and they never faces the scenario of a power cut or tripping of power stations as we face every other day in India. I would like to reiterate here that knowingly or un-knowingly we indians observe earth hour every day through out the year. we face power cuts atleast every day. So is it necessary for us to observe the earth hour on March'28? i would say definetly yes. since the mass awareness it has created will obviously lead to more conservation of energy and resources which would help in the long run. So remember to swith off the appliances on 28th March from 8.30 to 9.30 p.m.

Elections in India.

Its now the grand festival time in India. Time for celebration of India's democracy. But the dampner seems to be the prediction which tells that its gonna be a hung parliament, with the regional parties and smaller parties playing vital role in formation of the next government. Some predict the rise of the third front and Ms. Mayawati being the next prime minister. Sharad Pawar, Lalu Prasad, Deve Gowda, Jayalalitha & Naveen Patnaik being the rest whose name are being thrown in the air for the post of Prime Minister. Various debates are being taken place whether these smaller parties or regional parties leaders are eligible for being the PM. Two party system as in the US is also being advocated. There are merits and demerits in all these thinking. But my view on this subject is little different. During the debate that took place in parliament last year over the nuclear deal, i deliberated over it and i thought why did our political parties issues a whip and asks all its MPs to vote in a similar line. i think this should be scrapped. every MP should vote according to his conscience. if he thinks a particular bill is good for the nation he should support it. A MP is deemed to possess some amount of brains and is supposed to be a rest above of the citizens who have selected him. and his views should be recorded. there were many MPs in the oppostion who supported the nuclear deal and also many MPs in the ruling party who opposed it but their views were not given prominence and they had to toe the party line. and this is not real democracy. likewise in this election let all the parties whether it is regional or national let them put up their candidates and let the people to judge them and elect them. and the party which has the largest number of MPs form the govt. and the rest of the MPs should support them over matters in the national interest. let there be no opposition party or members. the prime minister and his council of minister should work for better of the nation and they should be answerable to the parliament. they should go for the consensus of the parliament and every issue should be put to a vote. the working days of parliament should be increased. let every bill be debated and finer points be incorporated so that when a bill be passed every member or atleast a majority of members are aggreable to it. this would solve half of the problems we are facing now.
