A Noble prize for Filth
by Hemz on Nov.21, 2009, under City of Dreams, Mumbai, Indianomics
Well, this isnt what the Noble prize committee saying… but our own Environment Minister Mr. Jairam Ramesh’s words.
He is right when he says that our municipality do not have proper mechanism for cleaning the garbage left behind by the citizens. Now how does that explain the efficiency?
I have a slightly different opinion on this.
Its people should also contribute by following proper disposal ways. Indians have a habit of taking things for granted. We all do throw things out in open and then we claim that the municipality isn’t doing its work. Secondly, there is no one who will stand infront of the municipality and question their work.
The babus have so much become accustomed with taking bribes, that for everything, they need something. Without which, your work request will keep lagging. I have heard so many stories, which makes me not to even approach anyone.
India Angered!

Indians have something against China and the same vice-versa.
When the world’s most powerful man tells China to oversee the peace talks between India and Pakistan, it would ofcourse anger the Indians.
Zee News reported:
The Ministry of External Affairs said that it had objections to Obama giving China a greater role in South Asian affairs, adding a third country’s role cannot be envisaged in the bilateral relationships between countries of the region.
This is a wake up call to all those who are ruling the country.
Art of Chilling @ Fosters

Foster’s AOC (Art of Chilling) party is an exclusive [only by Invite] event.
For me, the last two months have been very hectic… that was also evident from my blog. I did justice only once a month, effectively, two posts in two months. Which is sad but lets just hope things to change! Sorry my regulars…
So let me take you back to what I want to share. Good friend Renie Ravin, the Founder and Web Architech of IndiBlogger.in send a mail informing the exclusive entry pass available for me so that I can unwind myself. It was for the Foster’s Art of Chilling. Last time around too I had got an invite, but I wasnt able to go. But this time, I was destined to.
These guys know how to party, and Foster’s is really famous for that. I had asked all my lady friends out, and a few agreed… So finally, I had two of the ladies coming but there was a problem. I had to get the number of people in Even numbers, so either I had to get a friend along or I had to get one more lady.
I rang up Renie many times to confirm which combination will work for me and updated the status so that I can secure passes. He was patient and always took the call and tried to help out. Finally, it did work out.
We reached the event albeit late owning to the honky traffic at Kurla. The journey towards the event was actually bad but so immersed were we in the thought “Art of Chilling” that we did not feel we were wasted by the traffic.
Location: The Club, Andheri West, Mumbai

To start off with, the music that was being played was cool and was going with the environment. For those who dont drink Beer, there was a special arrangement. The Coconut. The moment you had that with a Pool side party gives you a Hawaiian kick. That is why I keep saying that these guys know how to to Rock!
The food was awesome and in numerous variety to suite different tastes. The moment some one has a can of the Foster’s Beer within such an environment, it can send chills down your spine.
Foster’s Rock.

Review of risky drugs
by Hemz on Nov.03, 2009, under Indianomics
I havent been getting time to blog of late owing to my concentration being diverted to social networking big time, but this is a very important step the Govt. is taking and I was lured to write on this one, albeit getting late to office.
The Drugs Technical Advisory Board is likely to do a risk assessment of 12 drugs that are banned globally, but are still on sale in India. If you remember, there were chain mails that were circulated spreading awareness about certain drugs that are still being sold in India thought some of them are carcinogens.
Though this does not ensure that these will be banned. Indian political systems works for the companies rather than for the Citizens which might be a reason that these drugs are still on sale in India.
The DNA Mumbai daily newspaper has reported the list of all drugs that are banned globally.
Novalgin, Baralgan (Aventis), Nise (Dr. Reddy’s), Nimulid (Panacea), D’Cold and Vicks Action 500 etc are the prominent ones. Furoxone (Glaxo) and Lomofen (RPG) are the carcinogens.
