imaging india through nilekani's specs

hi everyone;

I am writing this blog after a long time...it's a lazy day i have nothing to do n i have to sit in front of the pc for some more time....so thought of writing something that occupies my mind for last some days..actually 2 things are bringing this blog out..1.I was reading Nandan's book "IMAGING INDIA" 2.Nandan incidentally resigned from Infosys to join unique id project....when I first heard of the news I thought this Gov't is doing marvelous job in bringing out most talented person from industry to the most rigorous job and probably most important also in the wake of terrorism,infiltration,tax collection and many more..i thought this Gov't would bring Dr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia for the post of finance minister.Because Dr. Manmohan Singh was instrumental after the mandate in his favor.Probably expected some tough measures also.But nothing happened.After the budget every one will agree the tough calls were missing from it.Anyways you will have to agree the spending on "Aam Admi" is most welcome.I think I am going more into the budget than Nandan's appointment.No doubt Nandan's credibility.He has proved himself to be the most eligible choice for that post.But one has to doubt the criteria that Nandan probably was choosen for.One who has read Nandan's book is bound to feel that Nandan's frequent praise of Nehru Gandhi family was a reason if not the main reason...throughout the book you will feel like it's like listening to Kapil Sibal or Arjun Singh(who is the flag bearer of the king dyanasty)....my initial excitement about Nandan's appointment was dampened by the fact that even for a person of Nandan's stature or eligibility had to be boosted by praising songs of India's kings family....
One could easily say the same thing about Shashi Tharoor....India this is India...we need someone to praise or lobbby for certain things or people even when he is the most deserving...
At last I hope whatever be the cost of it...we want Nandan to succeed because this is India's one of the most vital project that could decide India's future...Go Nandan go..our good wishes are with you..
