[Assam] Business Week : Indian economy: Hero to Zero?

[uttam borthakur]

Even if Mr. Manmohan Singh as a person knows how to dance, it is immaterial. Because, the interests that he represent are the decisive forces. Not he as a person. Economics is impersonal, it appears. His choice can be: either the people of India or the Emperor he seeks to please. Otherwise, he's helpless. We should not attach too much importance on an individual except in case of creativity and skill.

In Assamese we say:
"NASIIBO NEZANAE--    SWOTAL KHON BENKAA--"
He won't  learn. I told him in black and white " Liberate us-- and we
liberate You" 
Now more than ever  before.
But common sense is not all that common!
The people deserve the Government they elect!

that if you meet with an accident and get hurt , then it does not matter who
was at fault in driving , what matters is that you got hurt so you were at
fault. Why didn't you take precautions? Why didn't you look both ways
and every which way, why didn't you drive slower etc etc. > > My
FAULT ONCE:> Thanks to his advice I avoided hitting anyone and getting hit
by anyone (except once when in Bhopal [ I had recently met a girl at Bhopal,
and was day dreaming on an empty road on a Sunday while driving my Yamaha RXG
135 - then India's fastest pickup bike,] and a guy talking to a woman
sitting behind him twisted his scooter's handle and just came into the
opposite lane and hit me. He was knocked out. I limped some distance to the
bike mechanic's place. Limped for a month. The bike's leg guards saved
my leg - the footrest and the brake's section was a mangled mass). That was
my fault. > > Why was I driving so slow? Had I been faster I could have
accelerated and and avoided the scooter, like I once did in Delhi empty ridge
road , when a car from the opposite lane, bumped across the divider and came
charging like a tank at me. I accelerated my then Black Enfield Bullet bike,
and escaped .> > >  Why was I day dreaming? It is immaterial that that
guy was totally at fault (all passersby sympathesized with me). > > It
seems Indian PM, despite his excellent  economy-driver skills is  day-dreaming
about some forbidden romance.  Or perhaps  like the  time when I was trying to
get a teaching job in the US (while in India Jan 5, 2003) mind was filled with
too many angles and issues and just bumped on the cold severe winter road (must
be below freezing - with wind chill) at midnight. Maybe he has too many things
on his mind - like the nuclear deal - which is no use for the Indian economy,
is it?> > Umesh> > PS: Was it a coincidence that the Bhopal girl
started limping a week after I did, her Kinetic Honda scooter skidded while she
tried to avoid a dog on the road. Who was to blame? :-)> > --- On Sun,
