Re: Unlimited Opportunities for ISRO: Public-Private Partnerships in Space

Thanks for commenting. Good academic writing, while substantiated and research-backed, is always written from a point of view; otherwise it just becomes a literature survey that just collects established facts and offers nothing new. The point is to give evidence for any claim that may seem outrageous.

As of now, all of space junk is a legacy left by government programs. Private firms are more conscious of it, and are actually taking steps to clear space junk left by previous participants (nothing in the statement: "independence for private entities to increase the space junk" is backed by any evidence). NASA and most other space research organisations have stagnated over the years because of a lack of private participation, and their faults have also led to loss of human lives. Partnering with someone more technologically advanced is entirely justifiable.

Appreciate you sharing all the sources and references. Your form of writing is coherent and articulate. One can learn a whole lot from your form of writing. However, the article itself is a view-point and thus debatable. Proliferation of dual-use technology is unfathomable, not to mention independence for private entities to increase the space junk itself is a serious risk to space assets and human life down here. A simple (industrial) sabotage of a privately conducted space mission can lead to devastation of same proportion as a nuclear disaster. If anything private space enterprises are allowed to pop up in US for sheer innovation and inexplicable cost-inefficiencies at NASA and not justifiable.

Re: Civis Dellium Sum: AAP and the Redemption of a Citizenry

I have been an ardent fan of Kejriwal since Anna movement. I knew from the start, from the way he spoke, the way he presented the facts from history so mugged up by heart ,the constitution; that this guy was special. I scratched the surface, and then I found a flurry of old videos with same guy shouting at the top of his voice to Sundarnagari area residents, reciting numbers with as many digits as significant as possible. That established the sincerity and utter honesty of this guy in my mind.

I had worked in a consulting company in Delhi for an year. During my stay I perceived a very unwelcome kind of attitude. I lived in a posh colony of Mandi House and I must say the environment around the area strangled me. People were rarely visible. All I found was BMW's and Mercs hovering and delivering people to doors of banglows. And then I had to go to Lakshmi Nagar for consulting assignments which was another extreme. Travelling to Scope Minar in an auto rikshaw at a temperature of 45 among humongous traffic.

All in all, i would say that the disparity in wealth is immense. The city's development has been anomalous. On one hand there are VIP's which are protected in every sense and then there are AAM ADMI. My hope is that the fate of latter changes and I am betting on AAP for it.

@Azel My thanks and sympathies to you :D

God only knows how I ended up here, well, and it is a couple of years too late, but it was Nostalgia at its best (worst?). Each and everything I felt, and went through has been put down in text by you, Kudos to you. To add insult to injury, I had seen Memento just the day before I went through the G-trauma. You can only attempt to imagine, how bad that can be. Also, read a few comments, Anonymous guy/girl sure is funny in the whole attempt at righteousness/viciousness :D
Happy writing, you seem to write A LOT. =)

@shrey makes sense to use it for a group of ullu ke patthe&#39s as well, i guess.

Thanks! :)

@Pulkit Parliament is actually a collective noun for owls...

Pulkit — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 14:31:21 -0000

about the circle of animals, the reply my head gave me was &#39Parliament&#39 :D

I got the rest, maybe due to some induction effect courtesy sethi

Great post :)

I actually used to be good at quizzes in school... but I&#39ve forgotten a lot.

I am still a smartass though. :D

Okay, so, the previous comment? Totally. Awesome. Had me in splits :P

If you&#39re reading this, @Anon, dude, this is the internet. There are no &#39Sirs&#39 here. And best of luck with your quizzing career :)

@Shrey - Nice post. The comments indicate that you&#39ve attracted a lot of attention :)

I got RDX and the Pope right. Failed at 69 (the answer, dammit, not the act!) since I&#39ve never been a big fan of the song itself (burn me at the stake later) - I doubt I&#39ve even heard more than a few lines of it at a time... didn&#39t get Zodiac, though in retrospect it seems so goddamn obvious. Knew about the Czech and Slovak Republics. Again, nice post!

Seems like an interesting books.
Nice review.
Will try the title at Landmark

So you bought the book? Cool...I&#39d wait for someone in my friend-circle preferably you to lend me the copy...1000 bucks!

BTW on the book... political and bureaucratic hurdles are the only problem any bottom-of-the-pyramid entrepreneur faces...I&#39d be hoping Sramana Mitra has touched at least a little on that aspect too!

Looks like an interesting read. But, I was hoping for a more neutral review. Thanks for the review anyway.
