Reforms in Police Force
*******************************
With the recent act by the Supreme Court of India on the slow and even stopped police force reforms, everything is all set to change the face of Police force in India . With the apex courts order strictly falling on the centre and the state departments, all are set for a change. The long pending reforms are going to be implemented. The main objectives set by the apex court are
to create a Police Establishment board.
This will act as a interpreter between the goverment and the Police.This will effectively reduce the governments intervention as interloper.The major force behind the use of police as a political catapult is done by those who are in power. These are effectively and to some extend are reduced by the creation of the Board. The board takes care of the postings and promotions.
to divide the Police force
The division is in the sense to make a corrutpion free and interference free police force. These division will make independent investigation and will reduce the acting of powerful persons.The guideline is to divide the force into law & order and investigation. This will accelarate the time taken to probe.
no more flip flop transfers
When ever there is a government change , it will be a process and a routine to change the officers and especially the police force according to the will of the political biggies. These things are going to be stopped by the new order from SC. They cant alternatively play on officers.Transfer is a major fear factor for policemen.
National security commission
A national security commission will be setup for handiling the postings Chiefs of central police organisations.These will give an advantage to the central police department.
These powerfull reform will surely change the face of the police. Now with the implementation of new law, a new light will be unleashed all over India. This one can make serious changes.These make the good people remain good. They are very vital in reviving the unchanged police force. The department which even didnot see a reform for 25 years is going to breathe new air of change

A real incident

I want to share the experience i had when i went to Mumbai. It was a nightmare for me. I was there at Pune to attend an interview. Then i was supposed to leave on saturday. I had to reach the station by 11.30 am. Train was supposed to leave by 11.45am to Kerala through Konkan. I stepped down in kurla station.From there I was supposed to reach Tilak Nagar. There was a long standing queue infront of the counter. Since it was the rush hour queue size was big.I was having a great confusion if to take the ticket or walk away without one. Finally I decided to take the ticket and be a good guy. Thus after half an hours effort i got the ticket to Tilak nagar.

Then i got into the so called highly organised metro rail. There was a great crowd inside and outside the train.I was just standing there. People took me inside to train. I was having a slightly heavier bag with me. Then as soon as the station i tried to step down, the people who took me inside didn't helped me . I used my full power to reach the other side of the compartment.Since i was standing in the wrong exit. Finally i tried to get out of train.Train started moving from there,while I tried to exit .

Thus it was around 11.15am when i reached the boarding station. There suddenly from nowhere flying squad apperead and checked the tickets.I was happy and gave the tickets to him.He checked the tickets and told me this is not a real one. Then i gave him another one. Which i got from kurla. After verification he told that , sorry this one is also a false one. I argued with him , it cant be. Then he told that the ticket u have given is something that is being printed to travel on the opposite direction. So u should give a penalty.Then i was taken to their office. There somany people were present. I also saw persons standing in handcuffs. I thought they are going to place me also in this cuffs.I showed them the reserved tickets. Then also they didnt agreed. I talked to my uncle on mob.Then also they didnt agreed. Then i told them im having some money which i need after reching Kerala.They told to pay an amount of 600Rs. Then i told ill pay 200Rs.After a strong struggle they agreed to do so. They also enquired on the place of living, how to reach there.After a cross fire they agreed on that amount.By then time was 11.35am. I argued on time but they didn't allowed any concessions .

Finally they fined a 200Rs.And in the last minute when I was about to leave the person or officer who caught me, told me "Ask me where am I from ?". I asked where are u from.He told that Kerala itself , then he told me he is from the capital of Kerala.Thiruvananthapuram. These was something I was expecting this answer, since he was seriously listening to the conversation between me and uncle , which was done in Malayalam.Then he told me how to reach the Main station. and finally i got the train , which was about to leave.
************************* It was a horrible event. ********************

NAXALISM IN INDIA
Naxalism is a long time fever that catched India. This fever is responsible for the slow development in Indias most of the affected areas. These affected parts of India are in a isolated condition compared to rest of the country. Even the politicians didn't show any will power to improve the condition. They are still aiming at the votebank. The life of so many people including ladies and childs are being wasted due to the negative thinking of some people. Almost all areas are affected by naxalism. These are the most vital problem that should be sorted out while compared with the border issues. It is like ,even if there are problems within the home, we are interested in solving those outside the home, mostly of the same kind. Recently Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh admited that naxalism is the single important threat emerging in India,and against India.
*
Now India has taken some bold steps to counter naxalism.They are cordination of the affected states to counter them, aid from centeral forces and the effective use of helicopters.These are steps in right direction. Since these issues can counter naxalism very well. Also the police force should also be equiped with latest technology.They should be armed to counter violence.
If India can find a permanent solution , it will help to counter the terrorism also. Since both of the terms are related to one other. The major consignment of arms comes through either the underworld or these kind of naxals.They have a great influence in the coastal areas which gives them a wide control over the area.This influence allows them to easily transport the arms.Those areas affected by them can easily transport the whole arms within the area.There is noone to question.
*
So eradicating naxalism is neccessary, but their voices should be heard. There should be a proper solution to the problem.

Can terrorism overpower people?
After the 9/11,7/7,7/11s we can find that there face of security has changed both globaly and localy. The impact of these attacks were fatal so that they remained in the minds of whole world.These attacks cannot be justified ,since they are effecting the common people. They are responsible for the deaths of innocent people.
Terrorist attacks invoked mixed feelings.Terrorism was able to find the targets at first and were able to execute the missions. But later on repeated attacks found no space in peoples heart. They only tried to aggravate the hatred in our mind towards terrorism. Terrorism found and showed its new meaning since the inception of BinLaden into the organisation It became a company which tried to make huge profits from all around the world using a highly skilled work force. They were able to win the trust of people at first, but gradually it spread like a cancer through out the world.
Terrorist attacks, as any of the evil acts, is gradually getting less support from all around .They were not able to make any impact in most of the areas, rather than the lost of lifes. They scared people a little bit, but after days people were leading a normal life, even the next day itself.The initial terrorist attacks were just to effect a number of people probabily the military or police. But with the introduction of new ideas from the master brains of Binladen, new tactics and startegies were practised to turn down an entire country into pieces. It aimed at breaking a country into pieces economicaly, technicaly,socialy, etc. But due to the peoples interest to get rid of this kind of activities, most of the activities were given a negative response by the people.
Due to the will power of people they overpowered terrorist activities. So even if a fatal incident occures they are able to regain their real life within days and are back to work. Thus the attacks was unable to change economy, technology etc.

NEED OF VISUAL AIDS IN PRESENTATIONS
Presentations are very very important. They are the best way to describe about anything. Even it is a product evaluation,or a buisness description you have to give a well furnished presentation on it. Unless the client knows this is a valuable product, the work done till the last moment will be a waste,real waste.
We will have a look on how visual aids play a major role in presentations. They are effective in making presentations of certain kind, and can be an utter failure in some cases. visual aids include power point, chi writer, OHP, Lcd projector, Screens. They are helpfull while presentations, but it all depends on how the speaker takes control over it. Once the speaker loose the control of the thread then it will be difficult to get back control.
So the main advantages of a visual aids presentation are that they are helpful in giving a 3d view of the presentation.But they are also a problem creators since they wil make to shif the focus of the audience from the speaker. They are helpful to bring back the focus back to topic after having a interruption from the speaker or after answering a question from the audience. They are powerfull tools so that they can attract even the disordered listener. They can be well prefered while giving some technical presentations. These things can easily define the working of a product or a part. They attracts the persons interest into it.They are very effective in recollecting the ideas that u have gone through.
They should be presented in such a way that they are coming after the presentations by speaker.They also should maintain a good speed with the presentations. That will effectively help you in getting the control over presentations. They acts like references while taking presentations.They are helpful in presenting a presentation point by point.They are effective tools.
They are also time killers.They will throw audience into boring mode if the presentation given and the visuals are running on different paths.
They will make the audience bored , if the way in which they are arranged are also in a disorder, if they are in not working properly and loading properly. So while using Visual aids it would be better if we arrange the rehersal before the real one. Its a good practice to check the order of aids as you want to do it in real presentations .Changing the slides or sheets should be as if the audience will get enough time to go through them.
Visual aids are powerfull tool if used in the right mix.They can make a presentation real success. They are very effective in taking audience into hand.

How blackout works

Blackouts are terms associated with the Electrical grid.You must have heard about the blackout in Mumbai,NewYork etc.On those days you were able to see how the whole city came to halt. The transport system wasaffected, the telecommunication, the daily life,buisness everything came to a standstill. This was due tothe failure in recognising where the problem was and to recover it as soon as possible. Since the grid isa large structure it is very difficult to trace out where the problem really occured , unless there isconstant communication between the consumers, key nodes etc. The error occured ion NewYork took days torecover. While the Mumbai recovered it in one day.

Let us first understand what an electrical grid is. It can be simply told as theinterconnection of electrical lines operating in the same frequency. There will be sources and the usersaltogether present in the grid.The sources may thermal power stations, Hydropower stations, Nuclear power,wind power etc. But the end product is same , Electricity. The main usage of grid is to make an electricalsystem stable. If you consider a system without grid there will be always power failures,load cuttingetc.In almost every grid there will be additional power than the total power in demand. These will be a 5 percentage of total demand.This is to avoid the possible breakdown , due to the failure of a major generating station.
Lets start with a simple example.Consider the scenario where there are 3 generating stations of 5 Mw each. And they are connected to the grid or they are interconnected. They are connected to the load of 12Mw . They will give the load maximum efficiency when they are all running in rated rpm and at rated frequency. when 0ne of the machines fail the generated Mw will be 10Mw. Still the load can survive but the voltage and all will be low. And load can't effectively run on such voltage. This will affect life of the load. Now consider the one of the two running generators also goes down. This will seriously affect the generator. There is only generator with 5Mw with is feeding the load of 12Mw. This will result in a condition so that the generator should run in a greater speed and which will be greater than the rated rpm. Thus the generator will eventually stop generation. These is an example.
In the real grid there will be a surplus of 5% of total demand. if this mw cannot be supported by the machines then eventually the load is passed from one genrator to other. The end result will be gradual failure of all the generators. There is an additional power of 800Mw in our Southern grid in India which covers 4 states and 2 UTs. The real problem occurs when the heavy generators will go into a standstill. These will really affect the system.
Now we will have a look on why restoring the system is difficult.The main problem remains on identifying the problem, where the problem occured, who is responsible for the problem, is the problem going to occur after restoration also. After realising the problem and the ways to succumb it, Generators are put into service one by one. Thus if there are any problem, the machines will go as soon as they are put into service. So if the problem is not recognised correctly this will happpen again. Thus resulting in much more delay. And when the generators are put into service, the total load won't be applied to the generators. Since they cant meet the demand all of a sudden. Its like applying the full power to a standstill car.This will effect the generators life. So load will be applied to the machines step by step. Thus the system is restored .

The Grid is very complex one to understand . It is Huge due to its size. It is complex due to the load sharing method, due to the various types of generators used, loads and the complex calculation.

How amazing world is >
World comprises of the fantastic things. Everything u see around has a meaning , a journey it need to fulfill.Each and every object has a path to take so as to reach its destination.Here where ever u look around u see the amazing intelligence and the art of life.
Even the extremes remain unknow to human. But we are still in the hot pursuit of that. Even after lots of failures , we still cant halt.These are few examples of how world is amazing us. How the enthusiasm is generated within us is also a good example.
Even an ant has enormous number of features .Still its features remains unearthed.But they too amaze us. Even the human body remains unanswered. Even the Universe gives us new results day by day. They also amaze us through out life . Some remains mystery even now.
Life has a meaning . Some study them very well ,some play with that, some know how to handle it. They are the winners. They are the real winners.They are enjoying the suspense in life. There are really ups and downs in life.But think of them as the amazing facts world is giving to you.
Play with them. Grow with the world. Taste all the flavours of the world and identify the right mix.This can be only achieved through analysing the WORLD.

Drop in vote bank
----------------------------------------------
The drop in vote bank is a major factor that is accepted by almost all parties .What could be the reasons in this degrading no in vote bank.Some have facts to say , some have numbers to say.
Most alarming thing is that this is not a good culture. Every one is given the right to express with this vote. They are the weapons for citizens of India. They really make the MPs MLAs come atleast once to their area. These make them to atleast make some response to our queries. They are the must to be used tools in the elections. They are so powerful that they make the democracy ''stronger''.
The main reason in the drop is due to unawareness of the people.Most of the people think that nothing is going to happen whether you are going to vote or not. Thats a big mistake.They are not able to utilise their power. Sometimes they will be having this notion due to previous experiences. There are also malpractices like booth picking and unauthorised votes leading people to loose their interests in votes.These differences and myths should be solved and should be given a much better chance to survive.
There should be effective particiation from government also to eradicate this long cancer. Government should take necessary steps to prevent this and should use enough force to succumb them . They are the image destroyers of the Power of People .Goverment should obtain peoples belief first so as to get a much better voting bank.
The other reasons are lack of interest in voting, and also the peoples idea to chill out this day in this national holiday. Most of the people in the urban areas are not interested in voting since they are geting some relaxation on this days after work on these days only. there should be a minimum of two day leave awarded through out the country for polls, atleast for national polls .
Election comission should be given enough freedom so as to take strict measures on people violating the rules.Now a days EC has a much greater role than it was earlier. They are doing a good job.They are utilising all the powers so as to make the Election process simple and better one.
Use of electronic systems is a good idea. after the initial introduction time it has became a popular tool of voting and a wasteless idea. they are utilising less time at the same time giving the same output as that of a ballot paper.
These tools when used in right mix can bring a great number of people to the vote bank. These will eventually increase the vote bank of Worlds greatest democracy.

M O V I E S
Movies from the initial stage itself amazed and moved so many people . They continue their legacy even today and every day . Every movie amazed people with technology ideas and imaginations. which gave birth to innovations. It also gave birth to myths also. Some tried to remove the social evils while others tried to focus on dreams .
As the two sides of the coin , they also have some positive and negative views. But they still rein the world. Many movies motivated the people to do good things, behave as a good person.Movies expressed the social evils very well so that they can be brought in front of the public. Movies were also produced on public interests also. They were well furnished and well narrated. Movies gave entertainment a new meaning and a good coverage.The coverage of a movie was good one compared to other media.
Since there was freedom to express anything, they were able to go beyond the morals also. These are the areas where moral was destroyed. They gave way to lots of evils. examples are the riots , robbery, bribe etc. They sent a wrong signal to the mass.The way the movies reined were a problem since this gave way to, more publicity of the wrong ideas.
Movies also gave way to a lot of employment. They acted as a catalyst to many peoples reactions. Some movies opened widely the social evils like the sati, the caste divide, the divide between states , communal riots . They tried to smooth the tensions. thus they played a key role in developing the social economy of the country.They also tried to show what are the feelings of the people after an incident. they also remembered us the commitment we have towards our community towards each and everyone among us.
Movies like ET and other space odessys made everyone to believe that there are Aliens in our world. they also tried to impart the idea that there are ghosts in the world.
They also implanted the ideas in scientists heads so as to develop new ideas and new innovations. they helped in molding the future of the world. They things which were said to be only in the movies are reality now, due to the efforts of the intelligent people.
I conclude that movies thrilled the people so much. they bombarded the human minds with ideas.they also resulted in great innovations and implementations for making human life simple and faster.
