17 Minutes of Terror

Every scientist of the space knows a thing about it, in fact, clearer than any well-informed layman or even an amateur space enthusiast. That, the space is unforgiving. With the learning still fresh from the past failure, our scientists are taking no chances with the terminal descent part of the Chandrayaan. The meticulous manoeuvre to master the path where the gravitational pull of the moon matters the most is watched with nothing less than an end of the seat emotion. Initial preparation, velocity reduction, orientation shift, attitude hold phase, fire braking, final descent and the final touchdown (Altogether 17 minutes, let’s hope for the best, thankfully, Vikram also in place).

Poverty should go

On the eve of the day, when 76 years ago we had become independent from the clutches of colonial rule, we had a pledge and resolve to make our country great. No doubt we have made significant advancements on many fronts and frontiers and continue to passionately pursue what is yet to be realised and what remains unfulfilled. If there was a starting point to us on this journey, as we all very well know, was invariably combating the hunger and deprivation of our masses. How have we performed on that front is debatable but if the question can be reframed as ' Is the battle over’? then we know the obvious answer. It's time for every one of us to do our bit to redeem our pledge and more so as a matter of first thing first do what we have to do and what it takes to annihilate the deprivation.

RETHINK on FREEBIES

Food and basic income are clearly cases of social justice, no one can deny it. Let's first appreciate the sensitivity and sensibility of the leadership behind it. Were electricity and bus travel really sought for free by anyone or was it simply a case of seduction for votes?
In a progressive state like Karnataka which ranks among the best performers by doing well both on social as well as economic fronts, did anyone really have a problem with paying bills or bus tickets? It is a sad fact to hear from someone like D.K Shivakumar who spearheaded the urban developmental works during the tenure of S. M Krishna as the CM, to be saying that the public works developments should wait for a while.
In subsidy more often than not, one can clearly see the case of misuse and mindlessness. What brings us to power can sometimes actually leave us powerless.

Travel Intelligence
Travel intelligence has different meanings to different people. To a service provider it may have to do with the collection and analysis of travel data that can help him in making better decisions with reference to service commitments and delivery. To a consumer it may have to do with ease and grace one experiences in travelling, thanks to the extensive usage of artificial intelligence systems by service providers. And, to a wiser and responsible tourist like you and me, shouldn’t it mean sustainable consumption of pristine ecological goods and services without polluting or degrading the Environment? Isn’t that travel intelligence of a higher order?
