The Jan Lokpal bill and its shortcomings.

I support the Janlokpal bill.. like all the bills the IAC(India Against Corruption) version has its shortcomings.. which should be known by Indians and we need to pause and reflect before making such a haste in passing the bill..

i would directly come to the points..

1) The main point is that the judiciary exercises its own independence and freedom in our democracy.. without any influence from government so why should it come under the ambit of lokpal bill. and its decisions be influenced by a committee.

2) The committee formed does not include any government official.. (Is it in our favour.. i dont think so.. )
. right now.. people trust.. Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi and Arvind kejriwal.. So i can take that for 10 years this committee will work flawlessly but what after that.. people need to understand that this committee will have almost every power and one step above the Government. (with great power comes great greed). we all know that.. looking at the current scenario.. this committee will also be corrupt after 10 years of time (no provisions have been made for that). And if this committee becomes corrupt there can be monarchy of this committee and no aam aadmi would be able to even protest against it.( i know you may think that this may not happen, but what if it happens :o)

3) we all can see that this committee wants to eradicate the upper level corruption by all the search warrants.. i don't see where it removes the corruption from the grass root level.. so why mislead the people saying that it will remove the corruption..It is we who are corrupt from inside.. people need redemption from all such scams and hence they are favoring this bill without thinking about its implication..

There are laws against Corruption.. if you want you can make them more strict.. there is no need for an extra bill or committee.. even if we need it, it should not be at the stake of our democracy.. i just want people to read and understand.. i know there is difference between the bill proposed by the Govt and IAC.. wouldnt it be better if we read the differences ourselves..? I think we are more educated than to just follow...

Its not about today.. its about our future..

New Phone. :D

I am sorry to have ditched Nokia.. but what to do, i wanted to use android badly..

So obviously i have bought an android phone.. :D and its amazing.. :D i love it.. it may not have some features that nokia had.. but it is lovely.. the user interface.. it feels like soo different.. i have had different nokia phones since 2004.. i was bored with their symbian os.. i always changed my phone so that i can have something different but there was nothing.. even the touch phone was boring.. 

After too much of boredom i decided to switch onto android.. now i had to see the cheap phone with all the functionalities since i had bought nokia e 72 just 6 months back.. and my parents were furious with the idea of buying a new phone.. but there is always an upperhand when you earn.. :P :D

soo!! i did a research.. and bought samsung galaxy ace.. it might be lacking in some features but i tell you android is an android..

advantages of an android phone is the connectivity with the internet.. its so easy.. the first time i put my sim into the phone.. i did not have to set any network settings.. everything was there on the platter.. unlike nokia in which i kept trying to connect to internet but it was always so difficult.. (purely my experience, i dont want to generalise it).

since it works on open source.. you have everything on your phone.. you will find solution to any problem in your phone along with three or four versions.. which was not there in symbian.. of course..

It has some disadvantages too.. like the battery.. 1350 mah is pretty less for an android phone.. because of its continuous connectivity of course.. so i would suggest you to go for atleast 1500 mah..and its RAM and ROM is pretty less.. which the samsung has said will be improved with the new gingerbread upgrade..

I am looking forward to the new gingerbread update.. :)
