9:23 am	Consultancy in Yatras ( Journey) I'm wondering if some one needs a consultancy in taking a yatra (journey) from any where to any where via land route...who is best in the market when it comes to provide consultany in this domain. Can the top notch consultancy firms from west do it ? I guess not. I guess the best services can be provided by BJP (Bhartiya Janta Party). Over the years they have become experts in taking yatras. They started building domain expertise in this area from 1989 onwards with Rath Yatra where one of their so called top leader took a yatra in first of their series. Over the last 15 years, we have seen so many yatra from the same group latest beind Tiranga yatra. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:42 am	Saras Good news to start the day with. The first indigenously designed and developed prototype light transport aircraft (LTA) by India, “Saras” undertook its 22-minute inaugural flight successfully here (Bangalore) on Sunday 08/22/2004.The successful flight of the Saras symbolises that India has entered the exclusive club of countries that have proven their capability to develop a civil passenger aircraft. SALUTE to all the concerned (NAL, HAL...) for the great achievement. LCA, LTA and lot more to come... Last week I read the news where chief of Indian Air Force said that India should develop its own AJT ( Advanced Jet Trainer) instead of buying it from other countries next time (by 2025). Recently India signed a deal with Britain to buy their AJT (Hawk) to train Indian Air Force pilots. This is good vision by IAF chief. I wish there are serious takers of his vision. We can do it. We did so many times in the past (Missiles, LCA, LTA...so many to count)... (Comment on this)

10:21 am	Today I have reasons to be happy Two events in last couple of days made me very happy. Though they both are not related to each other, As an Indian at least I have reasons to be happy today. Here are the events I'm talking about : 1) Women kill rape suspect in court (htttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3562236.stm) 2) Major Rathore wins historic silver for India (Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore won independent India's first ever individual silver medal in the Olympic Games on Tuesday.) What we have to offer to our coming generation ??? what can we do, for that matter what can I do as an individual which I can be proud of to tell to future generations ? I wonder if I would have anything to say with proud that is contribution from my side to our country. Here are few things I can think of as an individual which I guess I can at least start right now... 1) Contribute few hours every week for education of underprivileged children. 2) Sponsor the primary education of at least one underprivileged kid.
