We must insist on a work-life balance ,practice of religous rituals and prayers , family get to gethers , better work plan schedule by corporates and change in timings /Holidays between educational institutions , govt offices and corporates so that we can effectively use the road space .
Mr.Tata wasn't thinking about market share OR shareholders or personal aggrandisement.Environment
wasn't even in the picture.We salute tata for his concern of the middle class.Finding fortune in
the middle of the pit.But Mr.Tata why don't you inspire your engineers to come up with a cost
efficient,fuel efficient, environment friendly commercial vehicle for public transport.One that
won't bleed the govt. or ruin the environment or send the oil bill soaring??This will help India
more than a nano car .Stop looking at numbers alone.India does not have the luxury of surplus
space.Ford was not a genius.He was an idiot.Who started this car craze. Can Tata help India build a good subway or light rail?? Can he help them keep the cities,towns and
villages cleaner?Do some waste management?Car is not an indication of quality of life.Clean air
is.Clean water is.Clean surroundings is. indications of quality and standard of life.If Tata and
other intelligent Indians argue and come up with solutions for public transport and waste
management that will do a lot more for our country than a stupid car.Ford of the third
millenium.... ... do some micro finance apart from IPO's... Use solar n wind power ... renewable

Use computers and cameras to prevent corruption.Use cameras and youtube to expose corruption in
public places.See corruption come down drastically as more n more are caught on camera. Indian business houses never invest in R&D or global branding. US buys stuff fmcg n durables from
China ,Taiwan.All US exports are manned and created by Indian brains?Why can't Indian brains and
bodies stay in India and achieve the same ? Waiting for the dollar crash? Do you think Monmohun,Sonia or the dumbo Rahul will let that happen
?replace the US brand names with India's own s/w, h/w ,aircraft, cell
phones,pda's,laptops,switches,guns,brands.. R&D .... Strong R&D,branding,defence,infrastructure,agriculture and waste management... ... What are the

Corruption is at very high level with all licensed criminals as politicians, in black gowns and brown dress and all govt servants serving lack moral political bosses and pampered with job security and un-answerability or no responsibilty to their wrong doing / impunity; lack of vision and will and national spirit. Quick money at all costs by any means is the only motto of all at cancerous levels. God save India
Kerala gets ready to celebrate a week of heightened productivity.
kerala the land of intellectuals, perverted political class spouting dated theories ,engels,marx,lenin,mao,basu ... now karat,achu maman n pinarayi ... shining stars of
Kerala intellectual class.ability to read makes them intellectuals... the so called political class exploit the disgruntled elements of the society just like the shiv sena in mumbai make life miserable and industry,work impossible in this
state of maximum literacy. The person who built the only motorable road that doesn't get washed away at the first rains of the monsoon was driven to suicide by the parties.The roads in the entire
state have been erased and the contractors waiting for their pie and another round of digging for job creation.And now the motor strike.followed by the UDF strike and then
a strike to protest the previous strikes.. what else. Does Sonia,Karat,Yechuri ( ) or Advani have the sense to ask their party men to behave in this unruly state.They watch the fun hoping to grab the PM seat in the next
round.Of course the left never hankers after ministerial posts.They're happy ruining Kerala and driving the common man to suicide the most common solution to all financial
ills in this state of pseudo intellectuals.This state can never attract any investments.Businessmen are not fools to accept weeks of lost productivity.Which can happen only
this state in India.While all other states are reaping

Kerala has jobs only as head loaders;goondas nurtured by the parties in the name of
socialism.There are no people to climb coconut trees.Shortage of eggs, milk, rice.Nothing is produced in this state and then they complain of financial difficulties,lack of
employment.With all the economic theories of the idiots they're not able to come up with jobs other than head loading and road digging every year and of course toddy shops
at every turn.All sensible qualified people migrate to other parts of the country.All keralites enjoy the hartal filled week.Comrades.... exploitation ..

I am not against labour rights. But Kerala is losing out to other states because of typical communist attitude. Kerala has no corporate sponsors like WB. Nobody wants to invest in Kerala because they are pretty sure of a strike within 6 months.
The irony is that the Keralites really work very hard when they go out. They dont worry about their rights when working overseas or when working in other states.

So now we know how much South India has progressed! These guys keep dumping garbage on UP/Bihar people, and look at them. They don't even have the guts to stay alive. They die because their EMIs are missing. UP/Bihar people on the other hand live and die bravely, and not like chickens.

UP/Bihar people don't worry about EMI because they don't plan on paying, just take loan and get out giving false address ! So no worries ! Neat trick man. everyone should learn from these folks. Right ?

The other way of viewing the issue of borrowing is that they do not believe in living beyond the resources they earn! Whereas we southerners are too much occupied with social status, education and high profiled glamourous jobs.

UP/Bihar people know only these things - goonda-giri, politics, extortion, narrow mindedness, civil backwardness. They don't know what is education, what is humbleness, what is progress... Though I myself come from north, I realized this while working in the west/south.

you know wht, you are among those who have learned to lick the wet bottoms of other people. No wonder you will keep on licking but will never rise to make your presence felt. The other option might be that you might be married to a southi girl and she is beating you to say all these words. You shud change ur name to shashank iyer or shinde else you will also be beaten to death by ur so called civilized west goons (thakre) just because ur name suggests u as northi.
