Bangalore is supposed to be the IT capital of India. They even call it the Silicon Valley of India. So much for that! but Karnataka Electricity Board or the BESCOM are not able to handle eccentricity problems.
Frequent power cuts are very common here. There is no scheduled power cut and power comes and goes all the time. Presently We are having a minimum four-hour cut which sometimes goes on to six hours. In summer the power condition is almost like an village, there is no power at all, sometimes the whole day… sometimes the whole night… The most weird part is when I call up the electric board office in my area, they don’t even pick up the call and when they do, ( I am very lucky that time because they pick up phone) they gave very funny answers. or speak very rudely or telling me that they can’t help.
One more thing that surprise me, The Earth Hour campaign. Karnataka government spent lot of money to advertise this event. There are lot of hoardings like “Please switch off your lights for one hour” but they don’t know, everyday we celebrate earth hour. I think in India everybody celebrates earth hour, there is no need to celebrate this event in specific day.
I think government should not waste money in event like this they should invest money in power generation and good distribution structure.
Do you remember Tom Cruise and his technology in Minority Report.? If not, then just watch this video. Now that technology is not a science fiction. The MIT guys done it. they brought science fiction into reality.
Best ad ever made…and most expensive.
This is NOT fake. It was shot over 4 days, taking 606 takes. It was filmed in two separate shots. you want more information watch this The Making Of “Honda – Cog”
The PANDHARPUR….PANDHARPUR’s VITTHAL is undoubtedly the premier deity of Maharashtra. We used to go there during ‘vaari’. (it is a great march towards pandhrpur from deferent parts of Maharshtra is called ‘VAARI’ and people in that march called ‘VAARKARI’. and that culture is ‘VAARKARI SAMPRDAY’ ). And it is a great tradition of Maharashtra over 1000 years. We manage a meal to that people once in a year during vaari since last 8 years. And we feel very glad about that and during that meal atmosphere is sensational.
It is, perhaps, the greatest centre of attraction for the masses as far as the spiritual field goes. The enormity of the influence Vitthal and the Varkari Sampradava have exercised over the life of the Marathi people becomes obvious even from cursory glimpses of some of the very broad aspects of our cultural life. A great mass of Marathi literature of the pre British period is devoted to the praise and prayer of Vithoba and the propagation of the Varkariculter. Perhaps more important and significant is the fact that some of the most enlightened minds of Maharashtra have merged themselves completely in the devotion Vitthal. sect has attracted for the last thousand years people belonging to various castes and communities, from various professions and callings, from the learned and from the uninitiated. since lakh’s of people used to come Pandharpur still their management is as good as howards or any British US management school have. So that now they are studying on this vaari. Because STILL NOW FROM THERE NOT SINGLE NEWS OF ACCIDENT LIKE STAMPEDE OR FIRE!!!!!! (This is absolutely Mind blowing thing!) as these things or so usual in other yatra’s. this is called management at it’s best!!!!.
Hats off to Vaari and Vaarkari…
VITHHAL VITHHAL VITHHALAA HARE RAAM VITHHALA….
