Time Management?

Stuck with my thoughts, a little bit of work …could not get the time to write…uhhh…I guess I will have to revisit my time management lessons…

Ohhh…this reminds me of few unpleasant happenings –probably owing to either sheer lack of time management or absolute disregard towards it. What happened to Mewad Express near Mathura, where it was halted by manual intervention and was standing on the tracks on outer line near Mathura Station and within minutes another train is allowed a green signal on the same track-BANG ON- casualties on rise and routine investigations to follow up this unfortunate incident. This is not funny at all! Newspaper archives hold numerable stories of such unfortunate incidents that have occurred in the past-off hand I clearly remember the Kalindi Express’ head on collision with a high speed moving train- same track-same story but different lives getting altered forever….nobody pays for their mistake and I guess no one is bothered-this isn’t my pessimistic attitude-this is reality check!!!

We haven’t learnt from our past mistakes/experiences at all, had it been the case at least similar tragedies wouldn’t be repeated…and it’s really shameful that the degree of human element/intervention involved in all these incidents seemingly rising with each new incident happening. I feel like screaming a loud and am afraid that won’t help me vent out even half of my pent up frustration!!! So, what do we do? Do we wait of more such instances and keep feeling sorry…I guess that’s what we have been doing, that’s what I am doing right now….

What happened last Saturday when a over bridge collapsed on the local train in one of the sub-urban stations in Mumbai? Nah…not just a one off incident, not a mere accident-it smells of red-tapism and acute politicization of this city’s administration- wow… ‘Politicizing Administration’, intriguing, isn’t it ?

One of my random chats with friends, we were discussing life as we live here and those who have moved to US and such other countries. It was a very casual chat. One of my friends had returned back from US for settling down in life-yeah getting married and starting a new life here. Of course for that friend of mine-it was a great great ‘welcome-back-to-home’ feeling and there were absolutely no regrets…our discussion went a little further and all of us agreed that WE DO NOT SEE ANY VALUE TO HUMAN LIFE HERE, whereas my friend says on personal experience asserts that in US- the way the government offices function, they police, the medical system, everything shows a great values to lives of its citizens.

I have my choices clear, probably I am one of those who get extremely emotional and may be a little aggressive when it is about India versus any other country, but I cannot ignore this and I cannot deny the truth-and yes this is my personal experience…Am sure most of you would agree with me on this.

I feel the test of a good & efficient administration/governance is to see what is the quality of life of the common people/ the aam-junta. The moment you ask this to yourself you know the answer-for us here, miserable is an understatement!
