Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Democracy does work but rather slowly

Yes, Democracy does work but rather slowly For getting a consensus , do we always have to pay a price in terms of TIME ? We are not THE ONLY democratic country . There are many others But they manage to reach that consensus within months which takes us YEARS - sometimes , never ! So , as you can see, the fault does not lie with the system of governance It lies with the " Honesty of Purpose " on the part of the politicians concerned These days, some people are blaming the Government for sabotaging the democratic institutions But then, no institution can perform / deliver , if on the part of the members of that institution, there is little willingness to patiently/dispassionately listen to the views of others - and none to compromise ( give and take ) in larger interest of the country May be following was an exception !
