Untitled crap.

These boring afternoons at home are driving me nuts. I generally watch a lot of movies to beat this boredom. But now the activity of watching movies itself has become boring. So i am spending a lot of time in Connemara public library in Chennai.

I walk in to the library in the afternoon and start reading some random book on some random topic. Most of the tym the random topic being football. I was reading a book which had columns by a Bengali columnist(I am forgetting to recollect the name here) . He was drawing parallels between Soccer the sport and Socialism. He seems to argue that the U.S,a capitalist nation in all respects, rejects soccer.He says it is a very apparent upshot of ppl being very non-socialistic.

It s a fact worth noting that soccer is the 84Th most famous sport in the U.S . In 1998 ,when the U.S hosted the FIFA World Cup no English channel was broadcasting football in the U.S. The citizens of the U.S-if they so desired- had to follow it in Spanish channels. The number of Bengali viewers of the World Cup was more than the number of American viewers.
Strange facts.eh??!!

Being aligned towards the left on many issues in politics, i was against their stand in the Indo-US Nuclear deal. But after going through some of the works of the above mentioned columnist i whole-heatedly support the Left's stand.

The concept of use of Nuclear energy for power generation is not entirely a novel concept for India . It has been in the minds of Raja Ra manna when he pioneered India into conducting her first first nuclear test. The chairmen of AEC make it a point that they set of target of "x0000"MW within ten years from the second they release this statement. They all lean heavily on the bad memory power of the Indian public. None of these promises have ever been fulfilled.
This is because going closer to set targets is not viable.Co-operation with the U.S wont make the situation any better.

It is also worth noting that about 67% of the money spent by GoI on research and development finds its way to Nuclear research which has helped India to produce a few weapons of Mass destruction and nothing more to aid the countries power situation or for any civil reasons. So the concentration on this must be shifted to something more viable and more useful to the Indian in the present context.India should may be concentrate more on other sources of energy closer to nature and invest money on it by allocating lesser money to nuclear research.
