69th Independence Day

[jouni]

Happy independence day to India. Do not celebrate too heavily. If you drink, do not drive. If you smoke, do not fly. Do not overeat. If you drink a lot of alcohol, drink .5 liter of water before going to sleep, makes hang over much milder.

Our independence day is at the darkest of winter. First we take candles to the graves and remember those who died in the wars. Then we celebrate at the family and watch reception at presidents palace. It is usually -15-20 degrees outside...

Heavy drinking is more at new year and midsummer...

Take aways from Modi's speech :

1. Startups will be given priority this year.
2. Banks will be asked to create dedicated schemes for startup funding.
3. Rural electrification of remote clusters will be initiated
4. Interviews will be eliminated for jobs they are not required for.
5. Farmer welfare will be added into portifolio of agricultural ministry.
6. States will be asked to conduct interviews within the state, for central govt jobs.
7. OROP

Things mentioned by Modi in speech which MSM has ignored:

1. Attempts were made to pressure modi into diluting Black Money law.
2. Attempts were made to stop FM channel auctions, which would be a loss to exchequer.

Frankly it is sad that Modi had to spend 3/4th of speech on report card of past year, Just because MSM are not reporting on success stories as enthusiastically as they criticise Modi Govt.

Anything else that i missed, other than his annual report card of sorts.

I watched the live broadcast in Canada and was the best experience. What was going on with Congress President Sonia Gandhi sitting all by herself in complete isolation and V.P was absent as well. Does it mean they are counting their last few years in the L.S.?
