4月3日 Times of 'Elite' IndiaConverting my mail to blog entry on a friendly request.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India_short_of_6_lakh_doctors_/articleshow/2921262.cms
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Private_sector_can_help_overcome_doctor_shortage_Report/articleshow/2921291.cms This has made the Planning Commission suggest that the medical education sector should be opened up completely for private sector participation and companies should be allowed to establish medical and dental colleges just as they have been allowed to open nursing colleges. Yeah first they make pathetic investment in health sector(.99 percent of GDP), then they make govt. medical college education very unattractive by making quixotic rules, then call in the big brothers. I may be missing something here, how does opening for private sector solve the problem or doctors leaving the country? Also I had a tough time finding the findings of these report on: http://planningcommission.nic.in/plans/planrel/11thf.htm, you can try your luck and let me know. Those wishing to read other perspectives about health system proceed to : http://www.indiatogether.org/2006/jan/psa-health.htm And believe it or not, our readers' second choice of the 'Biggest Fool' is the India's common man himself. Of course, he takes various avatars such as the Indian Public, Public, citizens of India, Indian citizen, the common man, I, me, general public and aam aadmi . In a clear message that the Indian voter is dissatisfied with the choices he makes, at number three comes the Indian voter and his various avatars such as 'I who voted' and even 'The Indian voter for letting politicians take him for a ride'.
Its quite shocking huh? After the 2004 election shock isn't it so obvious that the common man/voter is an idiot? Only we(the elites) know what's good for him. Right? Don't tell me it was a self depricating humor, because, if it were the whole survey is moot.
3月25日 Media treatment: Herman/Chomsky's Fifth FilterTwo brave people, standing against oppression. Two oppressing regimes. Did they get different media treatment? The Tank Man: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man

 3月19日 Aaj Tak Masterpiece. Indeed sabse tez!Unless I forgot how to read Hindi(and right now I am hoping I did), the (self declared) "nation's best channel" informs us that Mr. Amitabh Bachchan has caught cold! Do I really need to comment on this "National Emergency"?
Btw, now I am wondering what other "lagi"s of Mr. Amitabhi Bachchan are covered in the mainstream Indian Media! 3月11日 Meanwhile in the wonderlandWe continue to celebrate another woman.
(printed in news paper on March 8th 2008, http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/archive/year-2008,month-3,starttime-39515.cms)
And that's why most tend to whish her off. They comment on her 'plastic face', her 'irritating giggling-syndrome', her 'much practiced behaviour', her 'boring diplomacy', and mock her when she is in the company of her in-laws and hubby playing the family woman to the hilt. However, it's for all the above mentioned reasons that we intend to salute Aishwarya today – on Woman's Day. We call her the Balancer, for she balances her professional life with her personal so beautifully. And we swear, that every woman who despises her does so because somewhere deep inside she knows that she can never get there
Talk about choosing a role model on Woman's day, bah! Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Btw, Times of India gave ZERO coverage to Irom Sharmila's release and re-arrest.
Immediately afterwards, Sharmila went to the office of the meira paibis (women activists) in her locality, Kongpal Kongkham Leikai, to resume her hungerstrike.
The police took her into custody again at 2.30pm today, International Women’s Day, for trying to commit suicide by refusing to eat.
Oh wait I almost forgot, isn't Times Group hunting for a new Indian Leader or something? Lead India perhaps, hope they notice. Yeah right! |
