Online Voting System..

There has been a complaint against the educated mass of India that they don't go for voting... Yes, this is true.. There are number of reasons for this.. (like lack of good candidates in politics etc.). However, one more reason is that how will they cast their vote?
Let us elaborate on this point..
Now, this is the era of globalization... People are working across globe.. The young and educated mass of India are fortunate enough to get jobs in different places of India.. So, it's not feasible for a person (who is working in different state or country) to be present in his ward to cast vote on the voting day.. Hmmm.. so, what's the solution?? Immediately, I can think of "Online Voting System".


These days we are doing most of our activities (like banking, credit card payment, electricity bill payment etc.) through internet and it's proven that transactions done through internet is secure and safe..
I can not understand why "Online Voting System" is not available in the current high tech world.. Definitely this is feasible.. However, to implement this the pre-requisite is that each person has to be identified by a unique number (like SSN in USA).
Definitely we are not telling to defunct the traditional voting system. In addition to traditional voting system, the online voting system should exist..


So, let us find out some pros and cons of the online voting system:
1. Increase in the number of voters (Pros)
2. Deserving candidate will win (Pros)
3. Counting of vote will be easy (Pros)
4. In the voting web site, we can put the manifesto of each party and the credentials of each candidate. So, it'll be easy for the voter to judge whom to vote (Pros)

5. Hackers will try to hack the system, so it has to be very very secure (Cons)
So, this year election we'll vote through our traditional system (though we are using electronic voting machine). Hopefully in the next election, we'll be using the online voting system.

This is indeed a good thought...
Even,how about the idea of "early voting".Early voting is the process by which voters can cast their vote on a single or series of days prior to an election.Not only will it reduce the congestion on the election day but also help people plan their schedules to go out to vote.Many nations across the globe adhere to this kind of voting too...

UHAULing.... in US...

In this blog let me share my experience of shifting home in America... You have to do the following activities for shifting your home... 1) Buy the card board boxes and pack your stuffs on your own... 2) Rent a truck to shift your stuff from one place to other and you have to drive that truck on your own. That truck is provided by a company called UHAUL. 3) Place all your stuffs inside the truck on your own. So, you have to carry your sofa, bed etc on your own. Therefore, you have to be a body builder to do all these activities. Remember, here there is no human labour to help you out. If you are hiring human labour then be ready to pay a hefty amount. 4) OK... All the stuffs are now packed and placed inside the truck. Now drive the truck on your own. 5) Reach the destination. 6) Unload all the stuffs.... Again on your own... 7) Return the truck to UHAUL (company) and pay the rental... 8) Your shifting is done... Cool..... That's how you have to live in USA. So, life is very easy he

Chase your passion...

Do you have some passion that you always wanted to do since your childhood??? Yes, I know we all have.. but we don't dare to chase it.. Because in India, we think only doctors and engineers are well respected in the society.. Hence, at any cost we have to become either a doctor or an engineer... Therefore, if you want to become a sports person or a singer or a dancer or a writer etc.. it's not allowed.. So, you sacrifice your area of interest and succumb to the pressure from society and put all your effort to become what your society want you to become.. Ok.. Now you have lived all most half of your life.. and somewhat successful (in career) by seeing your current stature..Your half of the life has gone by... in fulfilling other's wishes and their dreams.. Suddenly you realize that you have never lived for yourself.. I think this is the best time to invest on yourself... to chase your own passion.. to do something that you always wanted to do... I know we all are living a r

A way to give back...

Giving back to the society??? This sentence sounds a bit odd.. Yes, because we always believe in taking from the society... and we have taken it for granted that we'll always take from the society... Since our arrival to this beautiful world, we have taken almost everything from the society... It may be good education, good job or a safe and healthy society... and we assume that building a good society is the responsibility of Govt... Yes, you are right.. however, our country is a developing country.. not a developed country... Govt is doing its work at its pace... and since our country is one of the most populous country in the world, a lot of unprivileged people are there in the society.. unfortunately they are deprived from everything... they also don't get their basic school education... That's why the role of privileged people become very vital... Under current scenario, all the privileged people should raise their hand to support the unprivileged people.. We may argue
