Some Random Thoughts

Hello All, In the next couple of weeks I will start to post a series of Blogs on E-governance in India and how information technology can help in addressing some of the key challanges that inhibit or slow down growth in developing countries like India. Keep a look out for this space in the near future. Pushkar

Hello All, We had gone this afternoon to shop for some of the usual monthly shopping run. Located a place called Liberty Store in Raviwar Peth. They generally give a 10% discount on all the stuff they sell. Seemed a decent place to buy ypur monthly supply of soaps and detergents etc. So if any of you is from Pune then locate the place and check it out atleast once. BTW the Grahak peth guys have setup a stall to cell sweets at fair prices for this Diwali festival season. Do check it out. Cheers and Happy Diwali, Pushkar

Just heard the news about the crash of the Boeing 737-200A Airliner. Thats sad but don't know how they continue flying the aircrafts from the 200A series. These are really old aircrafts and issues related to airframe fatigue are likely to arise if the necessary maintaince schedules are not adhered to. I guess the best one can do is wait and watch as things develop.
