Sirji, Aap Karte Kyaa Ho?!

Dear All: Here is a brief video snippet from my talk at IIT Jodhpur last Saturday…The entire talk was delivered extempore.. It was a Saturday morning – and the occasion was Ignus 2012 – IIT Jodhpur’s Annual Festival..so power-point was out of question! It was a great experience and one of the largest group of students I have ever addressed…

In this 9-min video, I explain what is it that I spend most of my time on, what is it that I do?

  1. This short speech on ‘entitlement’ is good idea, its the stupidity of this UPA2 to keep harping on such policies just for vote bank.

    You hit the nail on the head! When NDA talked of India Shining, they were talking entrepreneurship, prosperity mentality. Here we have a govt providing handouts to people who do not wish to work and want things on a platter.

    I live two thousand miles away from my family at age 59 because I know that without my doing so and earning here, my family cannot be clothed and fed properly. If a whole generation becomes a welfare fed generation, god save India!

    I totally agree to your point of view. And the scary part is that problem is getting bigger now. I experienced it firsthand last summer. I was in my native place. My father called upon the village carpenter to do some job. He came for some time and then left. I enquired where he is going, he says he will go to panchayat bhavan, spend some time doing something or noting, and make (MANREGA) money and go home. Why should he do real hard work at my place. Same is the case with farm workers. Now nobody at my place wants to toil hard in farms.. In short, these stupid “Right To…” is creating all sorts of social distortion.
    I loved your talk.

    Italian mafia has taken over this country via the medium of NAC and it is hell bent on ruining it.It wants to convert the entire populatoion of this country into beggars starting from the bottom to the top.The top echelon will keep feeding the beggars till the time they themselves become beggars due to the increasing taxes.No money for the upliftment of their own children but pay for the free loaders doing no work.Local politicians not affected since they are overloaded with money looted and kept abroad.

    Sir,
    I just want to add 1 more point about the taxes, which feeds all the “Rights”. My point is not only the parents of pupil in IIT pay the taxes, it’s them who pays it too. When they tank up their bike with Rs 100 worth petrol, Rs 50 goes to govt as taxes. Same is the case with tooth paste, the soaps the cloths the stationery, every thing is taxed going upto 20 to 30%. So if they r spending Rs5000 per month on these stuffs, approx 1500 is going as taxes.
    I just wanted to bring this point so that people do understand how much tax each and everybody pays through their nose and which is openly looted by corrupts!!
    Thanks a lot for inspiring work you are doing and best of luck.
    Best Regards,
    Dipesh
