India...........aha

The source for this is not me. I just copied it from somewhere(including the comments at the bottom). Just thought of sharing it with my group.

Salary & Govt. Concessions for a Member of Parliament
(MP)

Monthly Salary : 12,000
Expense for Constitution per month : 10,000
Office expenditure per month : 14,000

Traveling concession (Rs. 8 per km) : 48,000 (For a
visit to Delhi & return: 6000 km)

Daily BETA during parliament meets : 500

Charge for 1 class (A/C) in train : Free (For any
number of times)
(All over India)

Charge for Business Class in flights : Free for 40
trips / year

Rent for MP hostel at Delhi : Free

Electricity costs at home : Free up to 50,000 units

Local phone call charge : Free up to 1,70,000 calls.

TOTAL expense for a MP per year : 32,00,000

TOTAL expense for 5 years : 1,60,00,000

For 534 MPs, the expense for 5 years : 8,54,40,00,000
(nearly 855 cores)
And they are elected by THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, by the
largest democratic process
in the world, not intruded into the parliament on
their own or by any qualification.
This is how all our tax money is been swallowed and
price hike on our regular commodities.......
Think of the great democracy we have.............

On seeing the article, I was tempted to make a search on internet and came across the above article. It was really a good sarcastic article on the MP's. Please do take a look.

To think that we are spending a whopping 170 crores of visible expenditure on our honorable member of Parliaments, I now understand why we have many uneducated people at power.

Instead of saying "God save India", I prefer to say "Let us save India"

One of my Telugu Poem's (On Demand)

Kanulu moosina neevaaye
Kanulu therachina neevaaye
gunde ninda neevaye,
akkada nivasinchunadi neevaaye

kanulu therachi choodakunna
kalisi poye manasulu
pedavi vippi cheppakunna

Kuhu kuhu la koila paatalu
virapoosina manasula aasalu
anu kshanam ni oohalu
brathuku saaginche na shwasalu

paatalu paade oo maina
ninnu vidavanu eemaina
choosukuntanu ikapaina
daachukuntaanu nalona
nee prema....na premaaa.....mana premaa.....

Nature's Beauty (Kandy - Botanical Gardens)

It was a rainy day where you could reach for the clouds. The beauty of the nature was in full bloom. Though i spend only 2-3 hrs here, the memories will remain deep within for a long long time.

Complaining abour your life......??? Think again

Just an idea of how lucky we are. We are all blessed and we could help out the people in need and give them back their future.

Lanka - the preview

I was travelling home in a Trishaw(Auto in simple) after another hectic day of meetings all day. Happy about my friend has joined me back in office after 5 days of vacation. We were talking our usual stuff about the updates of office during last week.
The auto was stopped by the military. They check the lisence or even the identity of the passengers. The police dont chase the vehicles here. They have a stop board in their hand and the vehicle stops in no time. Discpline is the order of the day on roads. People stick to the lanes, 1st preference to the pedestrains, no walking on roads, only footpath is used. No vendors blocking the roads. Definately stop on Red signal.

The Trishaw stopped at an Petrol bunk, and i was not so happy about it as it was already a long day and i wanted to reach home at the earliest (Need to go home, cook and then eat and sleep). The auto driver asked me about the price of petrol in India, when i told him he was amazed saying so cheap. I didnt bother as i told him price in INR and i thought he was comparing it with LKR rate. He immediately asked me about the exchange rate for the 2 currencies. He knows the reason for the exchange differences. He understands the economic differences between the two countries.

It rained heavily for continous 3-4 days last week. No sign of water pools on main roads. Vehicles move with ease even in rains.

Probably the only difference is discpline and very less population compared to India.

Good days ahead with this country.

The place i live in

Things were never the same in life for me since 1999. Yes that was the first year that i stepped out of my house for my first job. I was leaving home on "Vinayaka Chavithi". It was 13th of Sept,1999. 13 is again a lucky number for me.....its my date of birth.

I had gone to gurgaon. I was transferred to the hyd office after almost 2 years. Couple of weeks in Hyd and i had to go to Australia, Sydney for another 6 months. Returned from Sydney, another 6 months at Hyd, I had to rush to chennai for my CA final, another 5 months, i had to return to hyd, and i started persuing my CPA, so for writing the exams, i had to rush to USA, another 6 months there, with my company, my sister and brother and few of my cousins, i came back, another 6 months in hyd doing my Oracle financials, and i had to go to Bangalore for my job (yet another 6 months) i got transferred to Hyd, another 6 months and i got a posting in Chennai and on a project currently in Colombo Srilanka for 1 year.

Well, though i made a conscious attempt not to settle down in USA as my bro and sis are already there, i wanted to be with my parents in my mother country. But this much of travel and all this in 5 years is what amuses me. Even if i have not settled in US am i being with my parents all times. Am i establishing my network in India. I still dont have an answer to this.

Few of the pics from the place where i live now. The view from my balcony of the vehicles moving, its right in front of the beach, the sunset with the sea and my living room.

Dambulla - Tallest Buddha

This is the place called Dambulla which is between two cities of Srilanka. Its 70 kilometers from a city called Sigiriya. Sigiriya is a place which was ruled by the Srilankan King. It has a Fort of the king on top of the Sigiriya Stone. Will post the Sigiriya Fort soon. Going further another 150 Kms you will find the hill station called Kandy. A view of how kandy looks early in the morning. It was a wonderful trip. One of the momorable trips.
