E-governance fraud

I have some where seen it on a website, but now it is missing. It is about introduction of C1 India into Indian market with the help of PWC.

Notification was like NISG wanted a company with ISO certification. NISG has asked for a non-existent ISO certification to avoid other firms from bidding

Like wise, there are countless and i am stopping here..I wanted to show how corruption happens at corporate level..

E-Corruption is the shadow of E-governance

Recently i came across few forums and below are few examples on how we are made fools easily -

Another example in coming post...

Food for Blood

Ain't it bad? Can you imagine a person donating blood almost every day (May not be everyday practically, but pretty much continuous until he is in a position to donate)? It happens near few private hospitals in hyderabad (may be in other cities as well). I witnessed it near CARE, Nampally. It is something which cannot be avoided very easily, but the life span of blood donor is at toss.

There is a verbal say "You cannot donate blood if you have donated blood in last 3 months", but there is no means to identify it. Money can turn anything into business, incident is a fair example.

India's nightmare over

Its all done. Terrorists attacked financial capital of India. Civilians were attacked, police were attacked, commandos were attacked. No men spared. 26th November 2008 is to be book marked in Indian history.

Few emotional words from reporters/citizens/Foreigners and heroic incidents - i always remember these words

These are the words of Patricia and her boy friend. These two people are US citizens on a tourist visit in India for a month. These two US citizens appeal to every one not to panic and not to let terrorists win. They appreciated the efforts of Indian NSG.

They reiterated, We are going to stay India and our tour will continue. we will not let the terrorists win

Greek Multi Millionaire Andreas was one of the victim of this terror strike. One of the general manager of Taj Hotel jumped in to save Andreas. Unfortunately, one bullet went straight into Andreas. Both general manager and Andreas became victims.

Kudos to this great Indian who tried to save the life of a greek national

Pranoy (NDTV) - Advani announced that he will be joining PM in visiting Mumbai. But blame game started and they could not stay unite at least for a single day even in this kinda situation.

Barkha (NDTV) - Security people and Police whom we regularly blame were the heroes for the day. Lot of people SMSed me about ineffective governance of Vilas Rao Deshmukh, where is Raj Thackrey when lot of South and North Indians from security group fought a war against terrorists to save mumbai and its glory. Narendra Modi already announced 1 Crore to victims and started blaming PM for not being emotional.

Rajdeep Sardesai says " 2 Days back while probing Malegaon blasts, Hemant Karkare was called villain. Now today, Modi Calls him Hero. "
After an answer from Seshadri Chary to take back Rajdeeps words and BJP never called Hemant a villain and it is media which hyped it.

Rajdeep replied " I got an SMS from Hemant Karkare the very morning he died which says like this - I am sick and tired of being a police officer in such a country "

Harsha Bhogle - Today i saw in some news channel, Few politicians were discussing about Bandh on December 1st. Is that Bandh a necessary thing? Is this discussion relevant?

Few more politicians visited, are they leading NSG's? are they battling against terrorists? Are n't they nuisance in the middle?

When asked about International image of India - We have enjoyed the glory of India all these days, now it happened we have to bare this. We have to accept if England is willing to leave just because their families woule be waiting for them.

Kudo's to Taj staff and NSG's for their heroic acts. May not be a surprise, no politician got emotional. I am afraid, We (Indians) will be alienated going forward, let us face it.

Ads are funny some times...

Kadapa - Hyderabad - Dubai

Iron Ore Crisis!!!

Lakhs of Tons of Iron Ore is still waiting at KrishnaPatnam port to be exported. Initially a ton of Iron ore was sold at the rate of 3000 - 4000 INR. Now China has announced that , for coming 5 years they have enough Iron Ore. Now rate for single ton is around Rs 300 and Government rate is Rs 600. Either way do not work out for mine owners. Already few mines are shut down and many are in the queue.

Another hit :-(
