When I thought of Visiting HP as suggested by a member, I hesitated a bit to take up the journey to HP. The cause for my hesitation was Connectivity. After inquiring the Himachal Pradesh Tourism development Corporation,I found that there is no direct connection to any Tourist places in HP from Vizag, my place either by Rail or by Air. Anyhow, I can go to Delhi by flight and from there I can catch another flight.
I agree, poor connectivity is the bane of India. In the USA I found that even small towns of 50000 are connected by air. HP is a wonderful place and I have spent quality time in Dalhousie and Kulu. I ws at Dalhousie for 3 months attending the AF Ski School. Lovely place with all the snow around. Its a pity it has poor connections to South and east. Also no rail line is built> look at China they have a rail in Tibet from Chengdu to Lhasa. Why cant we do It ? No answer.

Schools should take such willing students to visit museums as it is a very novel experience. The response of the Pune school principal is unconvincing.

MG Singh replied to the topic Flyover under construction ( since 7 years collapses in Calcutta !!.
I remember I was posted at Calcutta Advanced HQ, Eastern Air Command. I had observed then the complete apathy of the government and the Marxist cadre to do any worthwhile work. the people also tolerted this. That is the reson that the flyover was under construction for 7 years. This itself needs a probe. The fact is why should a flyover go on for 7 years. I doubt anything will come out of any probe and after a few weeks it will be back to business as usual. Life in india is cheap. Who will bring in the concept of hard work?

I saw the news just some time back, it is indeed to sad and tragic that it is the common people who have to die for the blame game and greedy designs of the politicians every where. Does it even take so long to build anything? how such projects get dragged on and on for so many years, in the end they do not even guarantee safety and security or even utility for the people for whom such projects are undertaken. Rather like a contraption designed to kill commoners

Visit any museum or art gallery in India and you see there are more foreigners than Indians.
I agree with that totally ! In my own town we have a small museum which 80% of the city's population is unaware of because of lack of publicity, dont see it show cased as a place of interest. It has many interesting things and some of us teachers had to write to the education dept to make it mandatory for students to visit the place ..But sadly there is noone else visiting the place except such excursion groups . We have no interest in history or heritage of our city,state or nation ! Sad indeed..
Usha, sadly, this kind of apathy is very common everywhere in India, Pune too has a few museums which host a variety of beautiful, antique artifacts that are witness to our rich and glorious heritage, but none of the schools ever take the students there. All they visit is a few factories and other places as part of field education programme and to resorts for picnics. I once spoke about this to the headmistress of my son's school and what she told me was indeed shocking. It seems that many parents did not like the idea of their children being taken to visit a museum, the words being 'what is there to see in the old junk' or to that effect. They would like their children being taken to a cinema instead. This is the attitude that is behind the purpose of tourism.

Kalyani Nandurkar replied to the topic Communism - Is it a failed ideology ?.
Communism as a concept is purely idealistic and cannot work for long. You only have to look at Soviet Russia which has disintegrated completely now, China, Cuba, etc. Why look outside, we only have to see what kind of downfall the communists have brought to the state of West Bengal, which once thriving in prosperity is now reduced to such dire straits. Even in Kerala, conditions are not so good, whatever prosperity is there, is brought by Malyalis working in other states and abroad. Communism should be banned completely,

The Vivekananda flyover which has been under construction since more than 7 years collapsed killing 14 people and injuring many more seriously. As is expected blame game has begun between various political parties with Mamata Banerjee blaming the previous government an so on...However, it is always the common people who suffer the most when such tragedies occur, also could have been easily averted with some care by the authorities concerned

usha manohar created new topic Communism - Is it a failed ideology ?.
Communism has not worked in most countries especially in developed countries. It is still hanging on in some developing and under developed countries . Typically communist countries have poor living conditions , no innovative ideas and pressure from all sides . You rarely get to see a happy population under the communist regime.. In India too the communist party is slowly losing its relevance ..

Even without forming groups that is what has de facto happened. It is surprising how alternative views are taken as making fun and how ownership of an entire culture is made exclusive property of self and judgements are passed left and right.
