Giri at 1100 hrs on 30th October
First of all thanks for those who pointed out the typos in my special Diwali post. Apologies for not taking care to check.
So how was the week that went by, and what exciting things are you looking forward to in the week ahead? Of course if you are someone who accepts the theories that Stephen Hawking (based on the works of many other quantum physicists such as Richard Feynman) proposes in the Grand Design, then there are many probable histories and futures for this Universe(each of which depends on the current process of observations), then my question is irrelevant!
As for me, I am looking forward to reading (and viewing on TV) media reports that will be talking of how F1 motor-racing event made a spectacular debut on the 31st , in a country (which is my own dear India), which after 64 years of becoming a free country, is still groaning in terms of its abysmal infrastructure for healthcare, primary education, clean water and air, good quality road and rail infrastructure and reliable energy supplies. I look forward to becoming a proud Indian, puffing my chest and adding a swagger to my strides, after being told that the F1 event near Delhi, saw some great European drivers and their Middle Eastern bosses win the races in front of glitzy yuppie Indians; Indians who will still think hundred times before allowing their offsprings to choose a professional sports career over family business or a call-centre job!
And as I expect to raise my glasses in toast for the success story of the week, may I suggest that for every rupee that yuppie Indians spend on future F1 events, they may wish to consider spending 10 paise on any local initiatives in their neighbourhoods, that aim to reduce noise levels or fuel consumption.
