Solutions . . .

This forum is to start a dialogue to offer some realistic solutions to replace this farce of a govt.

-There was a suggestion to create a union territory out of Mumbai, that would enable the city to get its own independant leadership.

-The city need to be run like a efficient C/o /organization.
-Mumbai needs its own CEO ( aka C.M)
The salary of the CEO needs to be in sync with the current market
(eg - what would a CEO of a large c/o get paid ?)

-The offer needs to be lucrative in order to attract the best talent and/or lure current CEO's to consider this difficult job.

(I have heard a lot of resistence to this arguement , as politics is under the umbrella of "Civil Duty" and it should not be a commercial deal, but realistically "throw peanuts and you will get monkeys , who will be forced to be corrupt "
The foundation of our society is based on commerce , so lets not pretend that some great saviour will come forward and help this city.)

-The elected would in turn put together the team of top management officers to run various dept's of this city.

-The budget for this team needs to be part of the candidate's manifesto that is proposed as part of his/her campiagn.

-I also believe that the entire salary structure in all civic services needs to be relooked at , as that is the root of corruption

We need some solutions that are based on ground realities.

Can someone provide some answers on:
1) How can we redirect our tax money to where WE want.
Would we need to make an ammenment in the constitution?
2) How do we (ordinary citizens) build pressure to sack our current govt.?

Mumbai 's Shame

An inauspicious start to my blogging career, but uncontrollable anger has forced its way into words...

These are my thougths on last nights events :

This is an utter and complete failure of our entire system (sic).
Our govt’s priorities are completely warped.
Instead of spending our tax money on upgrading our police/defence infrastructure upto(modern) western standards , we rather be funding moon missions !

This country stinks of decadence and incompetence. The speed at which our law and defence forces reacted to the situation , made a group of gureilla trained terrorists look like trained marines.

And shame on our PM for addressing the country well over 15hours after the attacks.

We can’t hold a candle even to a emerging country like Thailand , leave alone China and Korea.

Today 25 terrorists have exposed our inefficient/incompetent and corrupt system to the entire world!

A system cannot be breached when one didn't even exsist.
Intelligence cannot fail when it 's foundation was weak to begin with.

The sad truth is, nothing will change . We will get attacked again if not in 6 weeks , then in 6 months, as there is no system to begin with.
The only thing we can pride ourselves on is the old adage :
“ Mumbai will bounce back...”
But at what cost and to what end ?
The question begs to be answered. . .
