Water water nowhere.....when will the drops be there??

It hasn't rained even once after I came back from Trissur. My cousin said that if it doesn't rain at all then water in the well would last only for six more days and after that maybe the Water authorities would imply rules like one hour of water flow for all per day in order to enforce conservation of water. It's kind of scary cos I really haven't been through a situation like this before, whilst in Muscat. It's like a world of luxury there. You hardly see villas, or even single rooms without and a/c and 24/7 water supply. Everyone out there have cars ,probably few bachelors who are new to the place use the cabs. And traffic is always controlled. Excellent traffic rules and well maintained roads and life was okey dockey, I tell you. But this is India. You know our main problem is that we are not rich. Just like how Chetan Bhagat said in One night @ a call centre. I am obsessed with his books nowadays. I am on my way to read his next. It's nice to see that directors are liking stories written by Indian authors than taking a regular Sheldon.

My Video blog is ready... and will be posting a very good video in two days time. If you liked the name you can give all credits to Vikas who must have not broken his head this way even during his entrance exams. Thanks Viks... and check VodCast HERE.

Very truly Written-- the last para! :) ....

And here in PKD, its thankfully raining. But I dont think there is gonna be a controlled water supply. There is a push for load shedding , and thats it. I mean water isnt too scarce enough to be not provided even for basic necessities!

"Basic problem with India is we are not rich"-- Dont kid me. India is the worlds 7th richest economy and the world has somewhere near 204 countries. The problem is simple, Lack of proper management and more importantly, OVER POPULATION!!!! When the economy gets divided per head, whats left?
Anyways- to Hell with it! As long as politics remains this way, Nothings gonna change here. Even movies like RDB eventually ended up being appreciated for the movie, director, acting.. and what not? But the theme.. people saw, left! But lets hope someone changes it someday.....
