So what’s the relation between all these things? Here (Mulund, Mumbai), MSEB cuts power supply daily for 2.5 hours, the power supply goes at 1 PM in the afternoon for 2.5 hours, it is not possible to live in this heat without power supply and only inverter can do the job…the power supply goes only till Bhandup, does not cut beyond that..it does not go off in whole Mumbai.

So what’s the relation? why they are cutting the power right in the afternoon? Why they can’t do it in the early mornings?

Let me tell you what will happen if they cut the power in the mornings…in the morning time, the climate won’t be as hot as the afternoon..and because of this, many of the people won’t buy inverters…this will lower the sales of inverter companies or local dealers…and I guess that should keep electricity guys’ pockets empty…so instead of keeping the pockets empty, why not let people suffer and we earn some money?

And what is the reason for load shedding only till Bhandup? Because MSEB is till Bhandup? or again, some other reason? Or some involvement of Politicians and Power Supplying companies like Tata, Reliance so that they can charge customer high amount per unit of they exceed xxx units per month?

This theory is totally mine and can be wrong too but we have to come up with these kind of theories since nothing is transparent..no one knows why the power is being cut in the afternoon why not in the morning?

Ravi is studying hard to get high score in IIT entrance test, studying day and night without thinking about anything else…Mahesh is not much worried about the entrance test much because he is confident that he is going to crack the test and get into IIT for sure…and Ravi is still not confident about anything and is totally tensed…

The reason why Mahesh is so much confident? Is he totally prepared? Did he get the test question paper in advance? NO!! He is confident because he is from OBC (backward class) and he is sure that he will get into IIT anyhow…so why to study, if he can get into IIT at low score?

And why this is happening? Because our dear politicians wants to target OBC vote bank..so they will have to do something to make them happy….so this is what they decided to do…

To make small fraction of people happy, they are ready to screw whole country…

I personally feel, education should be strictly on merit basis…because this is the place where you have to work hard and the one who is better, deserves the place….

But in our country, it happens other way…the ones who do not work hard will get the place and hard workers will be shown “No Admission” board…

One of my friends’ friend is in some engineering college, never studies properly, though he got admission in one the topmost colleges in Mumbai…the reason? He managed to get fake OBC / SC certificate with the help of his dad (who works in Income Tax or Sales Tax department)

So now here, the politicians got what they wanted but 1 good student did not get admission because this…there many be 1000s of more people like this and good students loosing seats because of them..

Just because to make few people happy…

I don’t think so. Many recent cases make me think; are doctors really there to cure us or to make money? One of my relatives recently got admitted to the hospital due to low pressure. Now these doctors, just to make some quick bucks, they admitted him to ICU and we are still wondering why the hell he was admitted to ICU..no serious problems at all..just low pressure…

And he is totally alright now, but the doctor is saying they will have to keep him in the hospital for next 3-4 days…daily injections without any need, daily medical tests without any need…just to make quick bucks…
