Lokpal Bill Episode

This episode takes expected turn, government in confusion, confusing others and people understand as if government intentionally confusing. They think the are elected people and coming from rigorous process of elections, the process they designed at few places and took from English men at many places, which is designed for ruling the people not helping people to grow, learn and live happier.
Whenever these politicians say that this is democracy, it seems as if they want to hid themselves in the wile of a lady. Governments at many times bring people into the Parliament, rejected by the electoral process and that is, in a situation when rules does not allow electors to reject all the candidates of an electoral process. Manmohan Sahab is itself an example of the same. All the ways, the Government officials and its well-wishers are employing to defame the processors, derail the lokpal bill process seems to be very coherent.
As an spectators of this whole film I feel little biased towards the so called civil society and I hope it could win if people take a strong step and keep strong vigil over the whole process and do not let a or few man supercede the cause.
But before watching the climax, I would like to expect other end too. So, if Government do not want to pass it on, she has very understandable way that she has started too of confusing people and de-aligning the thought process of crusaders of the civil society towards trivial matters.

Self Designed First Puzzle

you have heard of a problem that what minimum number of weights and of what measure you may need if you are asked to measure from 1 to 355Kg each in single weighing.

Note that you can not have more than one weight of a particular measure as if you use then there would be more than one ways to measure certain weights. Thus, it may be regarded as Hint: to measure a particular weight you must have a particular combination of weights.

For the above puzzle the answer is 1,3,9,27,....(log(355)/log(3))Kg.

Now let us apply the same problem to different kind of Libra, are you ready to solve this problem into little different libra

send comments to me, if you have any answers

The feeling to see the change

The feeling to see the change,
the feeling to see the people who bring the change,
the feeling to be with such people,
are all beautiful,
but the feeling to be the part of change,
is most satisfying.

While going through recent news stories, the frustration of big-wigs is now stripped out. From PM to CM all are in worry-

"How to deter, stop or at-least weaken the uprising involvement of mass for the CHANGE?"

If it would happened to me alone, I would have laughed and would say-

"Jab Log tumhe Gali de to samajh lo ki tum tarakki par ho"
or
"Abusers are Losers"

But this time situation is not that, we have full-fledged family of nearly 1.2 hundred crore people and each one of us needed to care our Land in one way or another. Foul are the intentions of our rulers. Their frustration suggests that they think their position is their birth right and cannot be absolved by mere Satyagrahas. So we bear more responsibilities. This time we should be cautious as media is something very good and very bad too. It spreads message in no time. And we are addicted in spreading rumor. Just as suggestion I would say-

• Do read Lokpal Bill suggested by both the parties-
  • Anna
  • UPA
• Talk about them in your circle
• Discuss with new people, new to this bill
• Remember that man "Anna Sahib" cannot be greater than cause, by this I am not trying to belittle him, but my major concern is -if anything goes wrong we should not deter.
• Wake up and try waking up others.
