The Parliamentary India

3-4 days back, I heard from some regular update websites about an achievement made by researchers in Washington University - they demonstrated 'brain - to - brain' communication through internet. A really scary one, I'd say. Someone can control your body by giving signals to your brain directly. There was a demo video as well. One guy was seeing a computer game in a monitor and thinking when to shoot a ball on the screen, and another guy, in a different location sitting with a keyboard alone, and tapping the keyboard occasionally - when the former is thinking about hitting the space bar, the latter is actually doing it without knowing. We discussed it in office and among friends, and I shared the link to some of my friends and kins. What more, the demo was done by an Indian. That's really 'some' news for us Indians.

Today morning I found the news in one of the biggest newspapers here, somewhere amidst other columns, in some inner page of the paper. I thought "Oh... they found it, finally". It took these many days for one major Indian newspaper to know about a new scientific achievement, which in fact is a technology breakthrough. 

Thinking of news guys getting updates, had one politician or parliamentarian sneezed hard, it'd be a front page news in papers and breaking news in channels here. It's everyday incident here that politicians speak various kinds of idiocy and try to become the "newsmaker of the year". Thinking rational, most of what they say is useless to the nation and its people but will be directly or indirectly pointing towards securing his position in the next election etc. But there are live coverage for everything they say, in all the channels in parallel, and covering the front page of the newspapers. That is because news in India means politics and parliament blabber than what happens in the world and what's important to mankind. 'NEWS' doesn't cover North East South West here, but they always loop in the 'PARL'iament and politics.

Don't know who constructed the Indian Parliament building circular - the channels and newspapers keep on looping forever since then.

How to be a successful driver in Bangalore

Tips for becoming a successful driver in Bangalore:
[Will keep on updating this post]

In Bangalore's centimeters per hour traffic, here are some tips to be successful:

1. Learn to multi-task: They say we should not do anything else while driving. Yes, we shouldn't. But in Bangalore only 30% of the total time we spend behind the steering wheel of our car is being used for controlling the vehicle moving forward. 70% of the time we'll be idling in traffic. So plan accordingly.
2. Have a 5-Dimentional mentality: 
1. Look forward to see vehicles in front stopping suddenly because of pedestrians or cows in the centre of the road
2. Look right to see vehicles jumping from right lane to left lane
3. Look left to see vehicles changing from left lane to right lane
4. Look down to see potholes
5. Look up to see signals every 200m
3. Offence is the best defence : However careful you are, at least once in two weeks you'll hit someone or will be hit by someone. There are proven methods of handling this situation. The one who argues first and raises his voice more(preferably animated) will be the verdict to come out unharmed, and in flying colours. You can even hit the other driver if you are successful in doing just this - and once started, helping hands will be joining from all the directions.

Politicians: A national asset

It's just my view: 

Indian Politicians are national assets to all of India's opponent nations. They just have to sit and watch India degrading in itself by the severity of its stupid politics, led by the selfish leaders.
