Loksatta for a better society...

Last night I had a converation with one of my friend who is a member of loksatta..We started discussing why TDP is always against Loksatta and the conversation reached its peak point where we ended up talking about whether Loksatta can actually bring the change in the coming years. He says that Loksatta can bring a change because of its policies...Then I have been asking him are we do something to bring that change...But he says I influenced many people by educating them about Loksatta and its policies and asking them to vote for loksatta...Even I asked to vote for loksatta and my mom and dad voted for loksatta last time because of me..but My intention here is actually are we really doing something to bring that change in India...He said that the change is possible with an efficient leader and with an efficient party like Loksatta..its right that we require an efficient and dedicated leader for the change to come over but also it should be in each and everyone's mind to follow these ideas to make that change possible.

For example, when we go to India and if we are stuck with parking problem and park the car at the wrong place...If a police comes to write a chelan we tell him not to write and give him some money..I say that this should not happen..If we doesn't follow the rules how can we expect for a change....when we apply for a passport if the constable comes for the address verification..we give him money so that we get the passport easily...I myslef has done this one eventhough I know I shouldnot do this..One of my relative gave money to just pass a file that he filed against the AICTE to expose its faults...See how people are corrupted..To expose a truth..we are giving money because we are helpless at that condition...I am happy that atleast now the AICTE is exposed for all its corruption...

So when is the scenario going to change?..Will JP be able to bring the change?

I think the change should start with me...

Expecting for a clean and better India.......

AICTE steeped in corruption

AICTE..All India Council for Technical Education...I am writing about this because this is one of the most important council which can decide about the engineering colleges and indirectly this is the one which can decide the fate of the students who will be graduating from these colleges. For the past few weeks we have been hearing a lot of things about AICTE. This is one of the example how the corruption has reached its highest point in INDIA. there are aroud 500 colleges in ap and out of these how many colleges have all the labs and equipments...I noticed many colleges having just one buliding and saying that this is an engineering college..how well the students get exposed to the practical knowledge in these colleges..Mr.Narayana Roa is giving permission to these colleges by taking bribes around 20lakhs and if it is his own son/daughter...will he join them in these colleges?

I read an article last week in eenadu titled"sankya sare sarukuvundha" which has been saying about an author named sebastean who wrote an article in washington post about VIT describing how the classes in VIT goes on with all the elctronic boards, online classes etc(http://www.eenadu.net/archives/archive-18-7-2009/home.asp)...this is something good to hear about VIT...but I dont say that VIT is the best..there are some drawbacks in VIT also..however the studies in vit is far better than many engineering colleges in Ap. when I was in VIT I thought I am not exposed to much practical knowledge but I realized the importance of all my lab work I have done in vit after I graduated and joined other institutions..I should also say thanks to Hyderabad central university and Dr. Suresh yenugu where I gained grip on the lab work..But still there is a lot to learn and I am still learning...there is nothing importance showing that Ap has these many number of colleges. whats important here is to see how many colleges have all the labs and resources...Even though I learned some of practical lab work from VIT I feel some what tough after coming to us and getting adjusted to the studies...everything is practical here..u need to analyze..get exposed to the analytical work...here u need to think about the students who are graduating from the colleges which even doesn't have minimum resources.

I think that AICTE must be completely dimantled and a new council with tough guidelines must be formed. If this is not going to happen the education system in India will be worsen furthur and no one from the other country will recognize our degree..Also I advice the parents to think before they join there children in any university or college..take time to go through the university catalogue, websites and see for the resources, infrastructure and labs available and then join your children in the university. I feel that children from there school on wards must be taught in such a way that they analyze and think practically...parents please take time to sit with your child.

I hope atleast now the government will realize and make changes in the education system..

Coffee...taste of Life

Coffee..coffee..My day starts with a sip of coffee...and I think most of the people also do the same thing.When I was young my mom used to scream at me saying not to drink coffee as it is not good for health. My sister also used to say coffee is not good for health so don't drink it but now she is addicted to coffee. I feel like I am in heaven when I drink coffee. Everyone says that if we drink coffee, we wont get sleep...I drink coffee in the night around 11 thinking that I can study all the night but I sleep with in an hour after I drink it. This sounds something different for you all. Now a days I drink coffee for three or four times in a day to withstand the stress from work. If I was at home my Mom would have controlled me from drinking coffee too many times but no one is here to control me..I miss you mom.

Any ways now I am thinking to reduce the amount of coffee I take everyday. I advice all of you not to drink more than 2-3 cups of coffee per day. 2-3 cups of coffee is not harmful to health and has some health benefits. Various studies has shown that 2-3 cups of coffee(5-10g of coffee powder) lowers the chance of developing Alzheimeir's disease, Diabetes, Parkinsons disease. Also there are some negative effects of drinking more coffee...it may lead to iron deficiency anemia, heartburn and some life threatening side effects. Actually these health effects are all due to presence of caffeine in coffee. This caffeine has some stimulatory effect on humans. It is generally degraded by the enzymatic system of liver. So in a healthy liver most of the caffeine is degraded by the liver and some undegraded caffeine is excreted through urine. Elderly people who do not have a proper enzymatic system cannot tolerate more amount of coffee as it is not degraded. many doctors advice the people to take decaffeinated coffee.

So guys drink coffee but get hold of how much amount of coffee you drink everyday.
