Telangana

As a person born in Guntur, I am for a united Andhra Pradesh. I think regions speaking non hindi language in India should stay united. I also believe that the number of MP seats in a state gives a lot of bargaining power with the Center to implement developmental projects in the state. However these are my opinions only and I think the wishes of the the people of Telangana region should be respected.

Regarding KCR and TRS, my opinion is that there is a new trend in Indian politics. Small parties like MNS, Karnataka Rakshana Vedike, PMK, TRS can never come to power on its own because the political space in their respective states are full with strong ruling and opposition parties. So, they try to divide people with parochial ideologies based on caste, religion or region hoping to make themselves relevant in politics in their respective states or try to create new states so that they can have a shot at capturing the power. I believe TRS is of the later catagory. This guy KCR was a union minister in UPA 1 and when asked what he did for developing telangana region, we get a dumb response that he was fighting for seperate telangana(This response was from KCR's son in Barkha Dutt's "We the People").

People of Telangana if they wish for a seperate state should ponder this point before they decide: They should think if their leaders who did not work for their development all these years in power can be trusted to bring development to Telangana region. They should think if creating a new state will ensure development or create one more CM post and a group of ministers. Development of a region depends on the leaders from that region and not on others. I highly doubt the capabilities of these leaders.

One should not get mislead by the so called bandhs and agitations that are going on in Telangana or Andhra regions. Any political leader with enough money power can "organize" such agitations with goondaas for money. I strongly believe Bandhs do not reflect the wishes of the people as they can be forced to observe bandh by politically backed hooligans. The Union Government should not capitulate for such blackmail from Telangana or Andhra regions. I strongly believe the below solution is the ideal one for the Telangana imbroglio.

A referendum should be held in the Telangana region giving them a choice to go with United Andhra, Seperate Telangana or Union Territory status at each district level. We can also record each person's first choice and second choice. We can also explore the possibility of creating an autonomous regional council for the Telangana region with the Central Government directly allocating funds for the region and this choice can also be included in the referendum. By referedum we can know for sure the wishes of the people of Telangana with out any doubt. I do not think the people of Andhra should be included in the referendum because, we can not impose their will/wish on the people of telangana. If a husband and wife do not get along well and the wife seeks a divorce, even if the husband does not agree, a divorce should be granted if the wife wishes so. So I am all for having a referendum in Telangana and it will solve the problem once in for all and help in bringing the situation to normal in the region which is adversely affecting businesses there.

The Big Bang Experiment

Visit blogadda.com to discover Indian blogs

A lot of my friends are talking about the "Big Bang Experiment" taking place in France/Switzerland. We have been hearing about this very large particle accelerator in which they are going to split the protons. I thought I will share with you guys what I know about this subject.

Sub Atomic Particles

As we all know elements in this universe are made up of atoms. Atoms consist of protons and neutrons forming a nucleus and electrons revolving around them like miniature solar systems. The protons and neutrons in a nucleus are bound by very strong nuclear forces and are virtually indivisible. If you indeed manage to divide the nucleus, you have a nuclear reaction releasing huge amount of energy (A nuclear explosion). Now can the protons be further divided? The answer is yes. If you further divide the protons, you get a sub atomic particle called quark.

Big Bang

According to the Big Bang theory, the universe started with a big bang of intergalactic particles (a very huge nuclear explosion). With in few seconds or minutes of this big bang, the universe existed in the form of a nebulous plasma consisting of the basic building blocks of atoms and elements which form the universe. This was called the quark glue-on plasma. After this initial few seconds or minutes, the particles of the universe began to crystallize into protons, neutrons, atoms and finally the elements which form the universe as we know of today.

The Experiment



The experiment that is happening in France is to find out the environment that existed with in the few seconds of the Big Bang. They are trying to collide two beams of protons at the speed of light so that the protons can be split and for a few milliseconds recreate the scenario just after the Big Bang and from that get a better understanding of the origin of universe.

My First Blog Post

Hi friends,

As you all know I love to discuss various world affairs?? with you all the time.  Honestly I do not know what kept me away from blogosphere for this long.  Such a natural blogger like me should have started blogging way back you may say..  Actually what instigated me in creating a blog was an other blog from my friend Suganya Jawahar.  Anyways, like they say.. better late than never.  

I will be posting on what's happening with me, my interests, politics in India and the US and other stuffs related to me.  Like a true software professional, you will find a lot of 'cut and paste' in my postings.  Please bear with me on that. 

 Whatever I have posted here or commented here would be my opinion on any subject. All my friends are invited to my blog.. You guys can also keep your comments posted so that we can have our ideas shared over here.   Hope that with all your support this will be a success.
