Project websites advertise attractive apartments, landscaped campuses, medical support and a worry-free retirement.

I mapped 50 named senior-living projects and facilities across India. Of these, 38 were described as operational, seven were under construction and five still required confirmation of their current status. The exercise included ownership communities, continuing-care campuses and assisted-living residences.

In Indian politics, Cabinet reshuffles are usually reported like cricket team selections. Who is in? Who is out? Who has been dropped? Who has been rewarded? That makes good television, but it often misses the bigger question. The real question before Narendra Modi is not merely whether one minister deserves promotion and another deserves retirement. The deeper question is this: If Modi seeks another mandate in 2029, can he go back to the voter with the same familiar faces, the same portfolios and - [Can India Become the Singapore of the Indian Ocean?](https://jsrinivasan.com/can-india-become-the-singapore-of-the-indian-ocean/): How India can turn maritime geography into trade power, logistics dominance, and strategic influence.

The truth is, ever since the first caveman realised a bigger rock beats a polite debate, the world has always been ruled by force.

It manifests across diverse sectors, from politics to judiciary, with politicians often implicated in practices that undermine public trust and democratic principles.

This ideology serves as a cornerstone for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which emerged from the earlier Bharatiya Jana Sangh and became a significant political force in India post-1980. The historical roots of Hindutva can be traced back to a response against colonial rule and the perceived threats to Hindu identity. Over the decades, Hindutva has evolved, emphasizing not only religious identity but also cultural nationalism, asserting that - [The Manipur Conflict: What does Modi gain?](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-manipur-conflict-what-does-modi-gain/): What is Modi’s Gain from ignoring Manipur’s ethnic conflict? Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s apparent indifference to the ongoing conflict in Manipur raises pertinent questions regarding his political motivations and broader strategies. By prioritizing other pressing issues, Modi seeks to maintain control over the national narrative while sidestepping potential electoral pitfalls. This calculated approach appears designed to capitalize on the Indian electorate’s focus on various socio-economic advancements and national security, rather than regional conflicts. The question of electoral strategy is central to understanding Modi’s stance on the Manipur conflict. In the lead-up to significant elections, it is plausible that Modi and the - [Perception of Softness in Indian Culture: Why Hindutva is jarring](https://jsrinivasan.com/why-hindutva-is-jarring/): Understanding the Term ‘Soft Indian’ The term ‘soft Indian’ has garnered attention in recent discourse surrounding masculinity in Indian culture. It embodies complex societal perceptions that often juxtapose traditional notions of strength with attributes deemed softer or more sensitive. The stereotype of the ‘soft Indian’ typically suggests a man who is more attuned to emotions, fostering a gentler disposition compared to his more assertive counterparts, often shaped by cultural narratives. In exploring this concept, it is essential to consider the historical context that has influenced perceptions of Indian masculinity. Traditionally, Indian masculinity has been constructed around ideals of power, dominance, and - [Seat Warmers in Cricket](https://jsrinivasan.com/seat-warmers-in-cricket/): The Greats: Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar When it comes to cricketing legends, Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar are like the cozy seat warmers blocking a seat for the newbies, long long after their use-by dates elapsed!

Many a talented cricketers fell by the wayside while these greats minted money with failing scores on the pitch.

The economic reforms initiated under his leadership marked a watershed moment in the nation’s history, transitioning India from a closed economy to a vibrant, market-driven one. This transformation is often heralded as a significant leap towards modernization and globalization, laying the groundwork for sustained economic growth. The 1991 economic crisis, characterized by a balance of payments deficit, necessitated immediate reform. Dr. Singh championed the liberalization policies that deregulated various sectors, thereby reducing - [Who are the real rascals?](https://jsrinivasan.com/who-are-the-real-rascals/): Rape is the most common crime in India, since decades.

Votes were counted and the result was declared on 4 June to form the 18th Lok Sabha. The legislative assembly elections in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Odisha, and Sikkim were held simultaneously with the general election, along with the by-elections for 25 constituencies in 12 legislative assemblies.[1] More than 968 million people out of a population of 1.4 billion people were eligible to vote, equivalent to 70 percent of the total population. About 642 million voters participated in the election and 312 million of them were women, making - [It is Modi Vs Modi in 2024](https://jsrinivasan.com/it-is-modi-vs-modi-in-2024/): This General Election is basically Modi Vs Modi. The rest are inconsequential.             To separate the two faces of Modi, let’s say Modi-A (or ‘A’) and Modi-B (or just ‘B’). Modi-A is the ascendent face. A is the one who builds on all fronts. Be it foreign affairs or on the ground back home in India. The list of delivered projects and schemes is stunningly long and shiny. For those who don’t follow the facts, here are two links that’ll summarize it for a fast read. (1) www.pmindia.gov.in/en/governance-track-record/ and (2) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Modi_administration_initiatives Modi-B is the one in - ["Locked In" Senior Citizen Quandary](https://jsrinivasan.com/locked-in-senior-citizen-quandry/): I recently (14th April 2023) moved into a much publicised (Senior Citizen) Serviced Apt & Club that was sold to me as the ultimate Senior Living establishment with ‘International Lineage’. It is no doubt flashy with overstated ‘features’. But as I continue to ‘live’ here, the ugly fangs of Corporate Greed begin to show. Slowly but surely. Today I’ll focus on just one thing: Food. This is a basic and essential aspect of Senior Citizen living. With age, the ability to go down to the ‘dining room’ will inevtiably set in. So I had enquired about ‘rooms service’ at the time - [The Fall and Fall of the Indian Rupee](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-fall-and-fall-of-the-indian-rupee/): The unrelenting fall in value of the Indian Rupee (INR) against the major Global Currencies like the US Dollar (USD), the Euro (EUR) and the UK’s Pound Sterling (GBP) must surely cause some consternation. Against the most used currency for global trade, the USD, the INR has lost almost 50% of it’s value in these last 10 years alone! The uninitiated may wonder, “So what?”. Here’s what! Most people may not really “get” what the poverty gap really means and it’s impact on Indians at the bottom of the pyramid. Its either too painful, or, simply of ‘no interest‘ for it - [Predicted BJP Sankalp Patra for Election 2024. 🤣](https://jsrinivasan.com/predicted-bjp-sankalp-patra-for-election-2024-%f0%9f%a4%a3/) - [One Nation One Poll?](https://jsrinivasan.com/one-nation-one-poll/): I’ve been FOR having one poll for all levels of governance in the past. One poll has advantages, no doubt. So I’m not going to bore you with them. But there’s a huge disadvantage that most ordinary people like me missed out considering. If all governments are set for fixed terms of 5 years they can do as they please! Since No Elections are there in between to apply pressure. India’s constitution does not provide any provision for REFERENDUMS. At any level of government. That is a crucial need if we want to switch to one election. Referendums must be required - [Senior Citizen Living Homes (condt-1)](https://jsrinivasan.com/senior-citizen-living-homes-condt-1/): The demand for Senior Living Apartments in India will grow massively as the “Young Population” ages, all together. With growing nuclear families. With growing affluence. With growing tendency of both husband & wife working full time. And with growing needs of ‘convenience’, even working couples (and singles) are taking to living in (far flung) such ‘serviced’ apartments even though they’re marketed as ‘Senior Living’ islands. All of this, the trend, is an economic given. No point in debeating that! With Digital India gaining momentum, with work from home gaining ground, the importance of those ‘little things‘ gains importance in selecting a - [The silent class war](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-silent-class-war/): The silent Class War between the rich and the poor, the haves and the have-nots in India began a couple of years ago! Surprised? Read on. The world thinks of Class wars as violent, destructive times in the life of nations. But Indians are an innately peaceful race. Our ancient DNA has taught us that the silent war of passive resistence can bring down the worst marauderers of the past. That’s why democracy fourishes in India. Its in our DNA. But make no mistake, our democratic nature is no less potent. It may not make world wide headlines like some of - [The Short Story of Long Term Senior Citizen Living Homes](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-short-story-of-senior-citizen-living-homes/): If you Google it, you’ll get around 50,80,000 results for Bangalore alone! They range from one room cages to posh outfits. From dilapilated ‘establishments’ to outfits that are proclaimed as five star homes and clubs rolled into one. As India’s population ages, there will be an explosion of demand. In fact, with working couples, these high end offerings are already finding takers – “everything” is supposedly taken care of so even the upwardly mobile couples are found at such establishments. Especially those without children to complicate matters. I live in one such “posh” outfits and am “learning” their operations from the - [Modi for 2024](https://jsrinivasan.com/modi-for-2024/): Narendra Damordardas Modi has been the best ever Foreign Policy setter as Prime Minister that India has had (so far), after the Nehru-Nasser “non-alignment” movement. His might has increased manifold by getting the Global South behind India-Modi. Make no mistake, his personality has a lot to do with this huge advantage that India now enjoys, again. Recognising this, even the obdurate USA has turned around from “pressure to pleaseing” India-Modi! Nehru even once self-mockingly claimed that he was the “Last Englishman to rule India”, as per some quotes. If that’s true, then Modi is the “First Indian to rule the Global - [Why do companies resort to centralisation?](https://jsrinivasan.com/why-do-companies-resort-to-centralisation/): There’s no doubt that there’s a tendency for startups and medium scale companies to centralise out-of-the-norm (but day-to-day) decision making to the top management. Management approvals are mandatory before even a response is given to a ‘new’ situation. Without a doubt, decisions have an impact on the company. Whether they are taken by top management or by ground troops. And since the ‘buck stops at the top’ the common (note I don’t say natural!) organisational behaviour is to say ‘pass it by me’ before making any commitments or decisions. The Yanks say “it’s above my pay grade”. Centralised command and control - [Only idiots will oppose the New Parliament](https://jsrinivasan.com/only-idiots-will-oppose-the-new-parliament/): The next census (already overdue) will be followed by a fresh demarcation of consstituencies, right down to the Ward (Panchayat) level. The new Parliament has 822 seats in anticipation of India’s population growth and is supposedly built to last 150 years. Those opposing the inaguration by PM Modi are doing so for flimsy reasons. While making their opposition to the PM inagurating the new Parliament instead of the President (ignoring the various times their own PMs & CMs have ‘flouted’ this very ‘protocol’) only shows that they’re willing to sacrifice the larger good of the largest democracy in the world, for - [The writing was on the wall #Karnataka Elections](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-writing-was-on-the-wall-karnataka-elections/): Despite his whole hearted blitzkrieg in campaigning for the BJP in Karnataka, Modi may have at best saved his ‘New BJP’ from coming in 3rd in the Karnataka Assembly Elections this May 2023. The utter chaos (meant corruption at every level beyond all bounds) in administration under a puppet regime (this was not Gujarat!), and the rank poor governance that Karnataka saw in this term of the BJP GoK was beyond salvage. But what was startling was not so much the civic apathy but the undelivered promises of Modi – Good Governance & Anti-Corruption – that hit the BJP hard. Coupled - [New India - Opportunity for you & me?](https://jsrinivasan.com/new-india-opportunity-for-you-me/): PM Narendra Modi started two massive Programmes to transform the mindset of Indians. That is the New India and Khelo India that, together, are producing visible results on the ground. India’s CWG2022 performance is there for all who care to see. Take the example of Mirabai Saikhom Chanu, our Women’s 49Kg category Weightlifter at the #CWG2022. She started her campaign after all others had finished! All of 27 years of youthful age, she strode into the arena and with her very first lift in the Snatch segment, went into the lead. Then she did the same in the Clean & Jerk segment and - [Republic India Faces an Existential Crisis](https://jsrinivasan.com/republic-india-faces-an-existential-crisis/): I really don’t need to elaborate, to any open minded person who follows Indian & Foreign Media, as to why the onslaught by Islam and other allied forces has threatened the very existence of India as a republic is under an existential threat. So I will dispense with the gory details all too often run on repeat-loops by media. Instead, I’ll address (in my view), why the innumerable failures of this Modi-BJP Government (elaborated in my post here.) is not helping one bit. In the blog, I listed 10 “immediate” actions that Modi should take to deflate the anti-India brigade’s balloon. - [Modi's Achilles Heel](https://jsrinivasan.com/modis-achilles-heel/): This is a simple short blog. Modi is head & shoulders above anyone else in his entire world-wide BJP Party. He’s a visionary. He’s also a very effective implementer. He himself is only limited by an ideology of his Party and it’s masters the RSS. He cannot cross the Lakshman Rekha (red line) that the ideology propagates. However, his achilles heel is not the ideology! Modi’s achilles heel is the utter lack of talent (acceptable to him) in his huge party. It is made of devoted followers no doubt. But other than ‘loyalty’ they offer him little support. And growingly, he - [Why AAP & PK-Type Parties will rise & rise](https://jsrinivasan.com/why-aap-pk-type-parties-will-rise-rise/): I’ve been following Indian Politics for quite a while now. Decades, actually. Both “inside” and “Outside” the major “Parties” and “Movements”. Just look at this photo that expresses the reality as it exists now. This meme can be interpreted in multiple ways (like everything in life!). But I see it in two basically different ways. Almost ALL “Main Stream” political parties resort to pampering the poor (farm loans, free electricity ruining discoms, etc etc AND big time tax breaks and “Incentives” to the super rich including foreign investors & MNCs. That the Middle Class is the *strongest* of the three having - [The all-in-one superman](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-all-in-one-superman/): Take a cricket team. Can one man be Wicket-Keeper, Batsman and Bowler all at once? Take a football team. Can one man be Goalie, Center-Forward and Referee all at once? Obviously, the answer is NO! But few people realise this is even more true in life. We have a multiplicity of civic organisations, run essentially as one man’s fiefdom. And then he complains that no one else “participates” on his diktats. This failure of Governance can be seen all the way from the very top of the Political system (in parties and even in Government) to the very bottom in Civic - [You're with me or against me syndrome](https://jsrinivasan.com/youre-with-me-or-against-me-syndrome/): These days, it has become a norm to assume that if ‘A’ questions me, he’s against me and if ‘B’ agrees with me then he’s supporting me. Like George W, Bush said to the world “You are either with us or against us!” How crazy is this mindless attitude! It presumes opposition or support is ‘the’ motive instead of addressing the ‘issue’. This stems from a high degree of ‘insecurity’ and self doubt. It smacks of a deep inner need for approval from others in anything and everything. This attitude has become viral in politics and social media. It has seeped - [At 72](https://jsrinivasan.com/at-72/): At 72, I want to say this: 1)After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, now I have started loving myself. 2) I just realised that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders. 3) I stopped bargaining with vegetables & fruits vendors. After all, a few Rupees more is not going to burn a hole in my pocket but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees. 4) I pay the taxi driver and the tyre pressure attendent at bunks without waiting for the change. The extra money - [Why Hindus Must not take their eye off the ball](https://jsrinivasan.com/why-hindus-must-not-take-their-eye-off-the-ball/): I know, this is a purely political post and deals with a much debated topic. But Hindus, including the BJP-Hindutva variety are stuck in that same jail built over decades of subservience to the Moguls & the British. In fact, a jail created by the British invented “education” system. No one disputes the century old traditions of Hindus has survived the onslaught of the Moguls, the British and even the ultra-leftist (read anti-national) Congress who’ve always been ‘lefter’ than the communists themselves. Since this blog is not meant to be a lesson in history, I’ll dispense with the gory details of - [Working with NGOs](https://jsrinivasan.com/working-with-ngos/): India is chock-a-block with all kinds of NGOs. From local ones like RWAs to National ones all purporting to serve their catchments. These are typically staffed with well-meaning volunteers and some with paid staffers. This depends purely on the “background” funding. Some with straight forward and transparent sources, and some with dubious sources. That’s why the Modi Government has banned as many as 14,500 NGOs registered under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). Started with noble intentions, a large number of so called NGOs have become personal fiefdoms. A stage to blow up a few egos and lend some political clout - [Indians will never outgrow poverty](https://jsrinivasan.com/indians-will-never-outgrow-poverty/): Poverty isn’t just about money. Its also about thought and beliefs. The monetary measure of poverty is but one of the factors of poverty. As long as we witness appointments from top to bottom on the basis of Caste, Religion, Regionalism and so on, the competence of the whole country will suffer. That is why the Founding Fathers had inserted the quota system in the constitution as a temporary measure for just 10 years. But it was successive governments that have extended it to perpetuity. The reasons for why these self cantered, selfish & myopic politicians did this is very easy - [Parents Teach Like No Other](https://jsrinivasan.com/parents-teach-like-no-other/): In the 21st Century, the marketing kids have created umpteen “days” mostly to spin out one-day impulse purchases. But a few are indeed relevant to Life itself. Like Teachers day. We remember many of our “Official” teachers on this day (at least!) :-)) But the real “core” teachers are our parents whether we like it or not, or whether we are grateful to them or not. They always teach us some important Life-Giving or Life-Destroying lessons. Read on…. Most of the Lessons we learn are not so much from parents “telling” us, but as babies & youngsters watching their behaviour – - [The Firangi Syndrome](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-firangi-syndrome/): Everyone is familiar with the colonial hangover. All things foreign (phoren) are automatically assumed to be superior, etc etc. No need to elaborate on this age old Indian Public Disease. It is beyond pandemic! But how many realise that we Indians also apply this same syndrome in our every day life?! Maybe a minuscule percentage of the population! So let me elaborate. Isn’t the “BBMP Engineer” considered an Authority on local sewage flows when compared to the local retired engineer who lives in the locality after retirement, spending days on end studying the sewage overflow problem that engulf’s his own house? - [The Lackadaisical Middle Class](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-lackadaisical-middle-class/): I live in a middle class suburb of Bangalore. Since 1982! That’s a long time by any standards.  Since the advent of social media, especially the regurgitating app called WhatsApp, the negativity in the local community is staggering. As it happens, a large proportion of residents in my block of the suburb are middle aged and senior citizens. A few of them have contributed positively to the local community. But what’s staggering is the relentless complaints on WhatsApp groups run by the RWA and Residents is a sad commentary on the state of affairs. And this seems to be going on - [Talk on why do the 12 steps?](https://jsrinivasan.com/talk-on-why-do-the-12-steps/): On 4th June, 2021, I gave a short talk in Tamil on Why do the 12 Steps in the Salem (TN, India) Online Meeting. About 133 members watched. A few questions were also taken. It is hosted on YouTube, in our WSLB Channel. - [Taming the Argumentative Indian](https://jsrinivasan.com/taming-the-argumentative-indian/): What this blog post is about Amartya Sen published his award winning book, “The Argumentative Indian” in 2005. The Argumentative Indian brought together a selection of writings from Sen that outline the need to understand contemporary India in the light of its long argumentative tradition. However, his focus was to argue that for the success of India’s democracy, the defense of its secular politics, the removal of inequalities related to class, caste, gender and community, and the pursuit of sub-continental peace. What he did not write about is how the taming of the Indian started way before he was even born. This blog isn’t so - [The Untouchable Middle Class](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-untouchable-middle-class/):   India has witnessed a tectonic shift in it’s politics. The much touted middle class has become politically irrelevant and meant only to be milked by taxman and business alike.   You, my dear reader, are most likely to be offended at my assertion as you likely embody the Indian Middle Class, though you’ll secretly see the truth about it as you read on, hopefully with an open mind. Lets start at the very beginning. In 1947, after Nehru took the reins of power, he quickly realised that in order to create a near-perpetual route to power, he should make Muslims - [The No-Brainer SOP for Epidemics](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-no-brainer-sop-for-epidemics/): Obviously, I write this with 2020 hindsight in the year of the Lord 2020. BUT what’s not so obvious is that the so called “Experts” or Epidemiologists ought to have said this from Day -30 (or 30 days before) when the first wretched Chinese Virus Case was detected in India. India was one of the last major countries to have been hit by the wretched Chinese creation. Let’s first state the obvious facts. The Virus originated in China. Official was “released” by wrteched China only in December 2019, with a “it’s not passed on human-to-human” note. The first case in India - [Guru Purnima](https://jsrinivasan.com/guru-purnima/): *Siddharta Gautama* The central figure of Buddhism is not a god but a human being, Siddharta Gautama. According to Buddhist tradition, Gautama was heir to a small Himalayan Kingdom, sometime around 500 BC. The young prince was deeply affected by the suffering evident all around him.He saw that men and women, children and old people, all suffer not just from occasional calamities such as war and plague, but from *anxiety, frustration and discontent,* all of which seem to be an inseparable part of the human *condition.* People pursue wealth and power, acquire knowledge and possessions, beget sons and daughters and build - [BJP's fundamental mistakes](https://jsrinivasan.com/bjps-fundamental-mistakes/): The BJP has been making some fundamental mistakes in state elections, losing them one by one. First, it doesn’t get that it is already the party that Hindus will associate with, just like the Muslims will oppose it no matter what it does. There is no need to prove it any further.Second, it has utterly failed to understand that Hindus dislike display of open hate, unlike the Muslims. There is no concept of “Jihad” in Hinduism.Thirdly, the BJP has, in fact, not done anything for Hindus! Let me briefly explain: 1. Why has the BJP not released Hindu Temples from the - [Dumb Leader, Idiotic Followers](https://jsrinivasan.com/dumb-leader-idiotic-followers/): I am dumbfounded by the dumb Indian National Congress. Almost every significant scheme that the BJP/Modi duo has implemented was originally conceived by the ConGress. Yet they’ll not take any credit … the reasons will astound you! Starting with Aadhar, Swach Bharat, Dilution (not elimination) of Art 370, NPR, CA, NRC to name a few and now the CDS. But now, the dumb ConGress opposes these same acts spewing venom & lies about them which they well know. It seems that ConGress thinks “Opposition” means they must oppose *everything* even if they themselves had initiated the moves! It’s dumb to think - [Market turned on 09-09-19](https://jsrinivasan.com/market-turned-on-09-09-19/): I had called this upturn on 09-09-2019 as marked on my tracker chart. Screenshot below. The thing to note TODAY is that the market broke through the previous top levels and holding for some sessions. Hereafter, dips will be buying opportunities for Investors (not traders). - [Rainwater Harvesting - Asli Kahani](https://jsrinivasan.com/rainwater-harvesting-asli-kahani/): I’m on Twitter @jsvasan - [Rahul Gandhi, Listen to your Great Grandfather before shooting your mouth.](https://jsrinivasan.com/rahulgandhi-listen-to-your-great-grandfather-before-shooting-your-mouth-narendramodi/): In 1964, Jawaharlal Nehru gave (what I think) was his very last TV Interview found in DD’s archive. The interview was just months before he passed away. Watch it for yourselves, if you want proof of what I’m sating below. Some brief observations of the man himself. He was clearly exhausted. He seemed quite disappointed with the state of affairs. He also looks despondent of the future. He was clearly frustrated with the Hindu-Muslim equation, as also with China. His inability to even look at the Interviewer, especially in the initial part of the interview when the domestic Hindu-Muslim situation was - [The Apathy of the urban middle class is the culprit](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-apathy-of-the-urban-middle-class-is-the-culprit/): Some time ago, I wrote “For how long must we eat the platitudes of these politicians?” and focussed on the response that people expected. Obviously, that response never came as the elections descended on us… and the last phase is still to be held a couple of days from now. The Mute Code of Conduct (MCC) is still upon us for some more days, restraining the GOI from any policy decision. And the time for a strike may well have passed – just like the strike to take over 25 selected Pakistani outposts that Terrorists use to infiltrate was never carried - [Unfit for employment](https://jsrinivasan.com/unfit-for-employment/): I had a most depressing experience today. But let me start with the point that was the source of some sadness in the first place. Companies have, for many years now, been saying our “youth” are basically unemployable. Some have established their own “Universities” to re-educate fresh graduates in basic skills. It is common wisdom that our education system is broken.  It does not prepare the youth for productive lives. The advent of Skill India is, in my view, a step in the right direction. And my personal experience today reinforces this view. Not all “youth” are fit for traditional “studies”. - [LT Investors should buy Small Caps](https://jsrinivasan.com/lt-investors-should-buy-small-caps/): The small caps have had a drastic correction this last year and are now signalling an upward move.  Managing individual small cap stocks needs active monitoring are unsuitable for the casual investor (meaning almost everybody!). Then the alternative is to buy a Small Cap Fund. The ICICI Prudential Smallcap Fund – Retail – Growth is a good option – with a SIP rather than a lump sum (which they have just opened). If you have money to spare, however, a small lump sum bet would also be good. The indices speak for themselves in the comparative charts below: Small Caps having corrected - [INR heading for 66.15 per USD](https://jsrinivasan.com/inr-heading-for-66-15-per-usd/): The strength of an economy is, amongst other things, indicated by the strength of its currency (and vice versa). This does depend on RBI’s willingness to let the INR rise… On balance, if left to market forces alone, the INR is headed to 66.15/$ in the near term. In the long term, the INR has the strength to rise to sub-66/$. If the INR rises to well below the Very Long Term Support at 67.70/$ then we will surely see INR 66 to the USD. It also depends on the strength of the USD which is facing pressure thanks to Trump’s - [For how long must we eat the platitudes of these politicians?](https://jsrinivasan.com/for-how-long-must-we-eat-the-platitudes-of-these-politicians/): I am angry, disillusioned and in deep despair! It seems that the only Prime Minister with guts we ever had was Indira Gandhi. Or maybe I should say Field Marshal Manekshaw. He dismembered Pakistan and gave birth to Bangla Desh. Which, till now, is a friendly neighbour. Modi came in making ludicrously false promises. I voted for a nincompoop MP just to give Modi a strong mandate. He said he had a 56″ chest and promised a proper “reply” to terrorism emanating from Pakistan. Amongst other equally ridiculous promises – e.g. Rs 15 Lakhs in my bank account. But it is my foolishness - [Media: Breaking India Slowly](https://jsrinivasan.com/media-breaking-india-slowly/): There’s an old idea behind which Indian Media – especially the Old, Rotten, English TV Channels hide. NDTV leads the pack with Nidhi & Sreenivasan Jain doing the heavy lifting, with India Today in which the aged rotten Rajdeep Sardesai shows the way of how to twist, fake and distort the news with an understudy. Following them is CNN News18…. with Bhupendra Chaube acting like he’s too smart for everyone else. No wonder Zakka won the Best Anchor in Asia and not this smart alec! That “idea” is that Media must speak “Truth to Power”. These jokers think that that’s all they must - [Common Man's Choice 2018 & 2019: Narendra Modi, hence BJP](https://jsrinivasan.com/common-mans-choice-2018-2019-narendra-modi-hence-bjp/): A major election season is upon us. 2018 will see elections to 5 states and 2019 will be time for the general elections.The urban voter has two powerful influence forces to contend with to sort out what s/he must do when it’s time to vote. None of the following really touch the rural voter (60% of India) in any significant way. Their issues are totally different and I hope I’ll soon blog on that.The first is the tsunami of left-wing media that picks on the tiniest of aberration to throw muck at Modi & the BJP, and at times, even the - [Can we afford to leave politics only to professional politicians?](https://jsrinivasan.com/can-we-afford-to-leave-politics-only-to-professional-politicians/): There are The Politicians and The People. Politicians are supposed to be altruists and work for the people. Is that even a sound thought in these days of I-Me-Mine? Only a mentally deranged species will think that! Democracy was meant to let people delude themselves that they have a say in governance, when in fact they have NO say except voting in the next election years away. Participative Democracy is but a significant but inadequate improvement over Representative Democracy. It never said to what extent and in what manner that ‘say’ would manifest. Given that Representative Democracy is in vogue all over - [Politics has wrongly become a bad word!](https://jsrinivasan.com/politics-has-wrongly-become-a-bad-word/): Anywhere you go these days and find ‘disagreeable’ things, you immediately say “dirty politics”.The word “Politics” has become a dirty word. An abusive word. Wrongly!Politics has become synonymous to political parties. To partisanship.And civil society has been the biggest looser.Consider this: Don’t we “see” dirty politics in neighbourhoods?Don’t we see dirty politics even within small communities or fellowships?Don’t we see dirty politics within Resident Welfare Associations?Don’t we see dirty politics within the residents of a single street?Don’t we see dirty politics within two neighbours?Economics affects all, without exception. Like it or lump it!It being a macro mechanism, it’s usually driven by politicians - [Why Modi will bring Petroleum and Alcohol under GST on Oct 2, thus slashing prices.](https://jsrinivasan.com/why-modi-will-bring-petroleum-and-alcohol-under-gst-on-oct-2-thus-slashing-prices/): The hue and cry over petrol prices by BJP’s vote base, the middle class is high decibel. It won’t be lost on Modi or Amit Shah, that too, just ahead of important elections in the Northern States. The Congress hypocrisy in shutting down states ruled by itself like Karnataka does not fetch it any goodwill. The public knows it’s trying hard to stoke anger, hatred and communalism while accusing the BJP of these! It makes no sense to forsake the immediate impact for a “long-term” solution when the ballot box is around the corner. Notwithstanding Modi’s commitment to true and lasting change, he’s an astute politician. - [The curious case of petroleum products in India!](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-curious-case-of-petroleum-products-in-india/): There are many charts and statistics that can be found and depending on the source, the same stats will be used to promote or the opposite view of the politics of petroleum products. This blog is NOT about the partisan politics of petroleum products. This blog is about asking Indians to think about petroleum products. The massive growth of the automobile industry as a whole and 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers as a whole have been extraordinary by any standards. The biggest and most expensive cars and bikes can be found on Indian roads. This is obviously because the population has - [Accountability at Municipal Level sorely needed](https://jsrinivasan.com/accountability-at-municipal-level-sorely-needed/): Should Municipalities take local citizen approval of work done to release payments to contractors? Obviously YES, if corruption is to be tackled.  Rajiv Gandhi brought in Articles 73 & 74 for Panchayats & Municipalities to make accountability a part of local governance.  It’s another story that his own political party sabotaged the intention and instead consolidated all financial power above the municipality instead of lower! There are other benefits of these articles. That is the involvement of citizens in local civic matters on an ongoing basis.  If implemented in letter & spirit, not only will politicians receive fewer brickbats & abuse, - [Killing Democracy](https://jsrinivasan.com/killing-democracy/): To sum up my political views in two points, here it is: I support Narendra Modi for PM, but not the BJP as a party. I support Ramalinga Reddy for MLA, but not the Congress as a party. - [30 significant impact policies of Narendra Modi @ #4YrsofModi](https://jsrinivasan.com/30-significant-impact-policies-of-narendra-modi-4yrsofmodi/): Narendra Modi is loved or hated, depending on whether you’ve been caught with your pants down or you are a beneficiary of huge changes Modi has achieved in just 4 years.  Most people don’t bother to look at the macro picture. Instead, the narrowminded, communal “sickularists” try, with able assistance from TRP chasing Media, of pinning failures of State responsibilities on Modi. The failure of law and order in selected states is clearly engineered by sickularists. Law and Order is a state subject, but they’ll hold Modi personally responsible, all for stopping Modi’s reforms since it hits them really hard. Be - [The Hindu Polarisation is complete.](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-hindu-polarisation-is-complete/): The key factors that had this polarisation happen are just two: The stoppage of appeasement of all minorities and enforcement of existing law without fear or favour by the BJP Government. The backlash and payback by the Hindu fringe openly, on the ground. - [Karnataka 2018: Advantage JDS](https://jsrinivasan.com/karnataka-2018-advantage-jds/): Every Election is closely followed in India – it’s usually the best “Reality Show” in town. Coming ever so often, sometimes many times a year like in 2018, the average Indian loves to “play politics”. The TV (media) has a field day for months on end. Free TRPs. The Karnataka Elections in 2018 holds special significance since it is the only (major) state under ConGress rule after Punjab. Many discount Punjab as an Amrinder Singh victory and not that of the ConGress!  A straw poll reaching mostly urban (Bangalore) audience shows the following “facts”: Based on the 1st Choice, the BJP - [No More! Not BJP, Not INC!](https://jsrinivasan.com/no-more-not-bjp-not-inc/): Ironically, to use Modi's slogan, India needs a total "Reform, Perform & Transform" move, but not of the fake Modi variety. Its people need to be bold and take on another experiment (like the Modi experiment). - [Fake News is REAL. Read this ...](https://jsrinivasan.com/fake-news-is-real-read-this/): I saw a patently Fake News in one of my Whatsapp groups. Unfortunately for the idiot who posted it – a sickular variety – I trade on the stock markets and follow the economic news closely. Here’s the exchange –  Sickular’s Post: Systematic Increase in petrol_price for your knowledge 2017 01 December ₹ 67.71 02 December ₹ 67.78 03 December ₹ 68.02 04 December ₹ 68.34 05 December ₹ 68.64 06 December ₹ 68.88 07 December ₹ 69.03 08 December ₹ 69.13 09 December ₹ 69.20 10 December ₹ 69.35 11 December ₹ 69.68 12 December ₹ 69.92 13 December ₹ - [If I were PM ...](https://jsrinivasan.com/if-i-were-pm/): Not in any particular order, but significant ones nevertheless: The single most powerful change that PM can bring about is a re-write of the constitution. The core changes would be: 1. Direct election and autonomy of the lowest of low authorities. e.g. Police chief, Mayor, Attorney, Lok Ayukta, Utility Chiefs, apart from Corporators, MLAs, MPs but also President and Rajya Sabha MPs to be directly elected. Election every 5 yrs. Held every other April/May to fill vacancies. 2. Reservation only on economic grounds. 3. Water, Agriculture to be Central Subjects. 4. One single slab for GST; a long exemption list for - [Why the Nehru-Gandhi Congress will never again dominate India!](https://jsrinivasan.com/why-the-nehru-gandhi-congress-will-never-again-dominate-india/): I recently came across a WhatsApp forward attributed to a Ninad Vengurlekar that was written to appease those who’ve become accustomed to appeasement since the Nehru-Gandhi Congress usurped power after Independence after fooling Mahatma  Gandhi. It’s necessary to “reproduce” here what I received in the forward. It’s so convincing to the “common man” whose looking out for appeasement that full marks must be given to the real author, whoever it might be. I am in doubt that Ninad wrote it because on searching for him on the net, I found he’s been “inactive” since 2015 on all the main social media platforms! Such a - [How to Retire the IAS, IPS and IRS](https://jsrinivasan.com/how-to-retire-the-ias-ips-and-irs/): This is the age of specialisation. From top to bottom, we need specialists, and specialists only. The archaic system of administration has gone past its use by date. Worse, the “new” entrants in the “central services” simply learn on the job at a huge cost to the country and its governance. This general statement will find many takers but what stops everyone, is how will the country manage if these archaic services of generalists are disbanded. It’s simply not feasible, they say. True, if we don’t think it through, with a steely commitment to change. This is not a treatise on the transition. - [BJP is losing the perception game. Why?](https://jsrinivasan.com/bjp-is-losing-the-perception-game-why/): There are bloggers who’ll take pains to list and discuss individual events (and non-events) and facts and alternative facts to justify their point of view. I’m a product of to-the-point writing, knowing the average reader is well read and well informed. I don’t believe in the verbose approach. Everyone who reads a blog has already consumed tons of information on Social media, TV and WhatsApp groups – whether facts or fake news. Everyone is “well informed” – despite the fish market like cacophony on most (if not all) of these platforms. I prefer to state the analysis or, even, just the conclusions - [Happy B'Day Mr. Modi. Here's your Ontological X-Ray.](https://jsrinivasan.com/modi-anatomy/): Happy B'Day Mr. Modi! There's no one to catch you, yet. Hope you'll deliver. Here is an unusual b'day present! Your ontological anatomy x-rayed. - [An Asian Axis is emerging.](https://jsrinivasan.com/an-asian-axis-is-emerging/): Power politics is the name of the game at the global level. That’s a no-brainer. Since WW2, the US has led with a failed challenge by USSR. Now the Asian century has dawned. Population is no longer considered a liability but a dividend. So much so the Irish have even announced a programme to have more children! The two leaders are China and India. BRICS started it’s “own”  ‘world’ Bank. Now there’s talk of a BRICS Rating Agency that’ll succeed the western crooked rating agencies. The Doklam ‘standoff’ was a show of both countries’ strengths. The outcome? Simple: Neither can attack - [The Modi wave just evaporated](https://jsrinivasan.com/the-modi-wave-just-evaporated/): I have lost all respect and faith in Narendra Modi and Amit Shah after the #RamRahimSingh (DSS) episode. I don’t want THIS New India! Sad, I was a supporter! This seems a repeat of 2002 when LKA saved Modi. For the DSS episode, M L Khattar must be prosecuted Suo moto by courts! Once the Rajya Sabha majority happens, fascism may be full blown.   Let me explain.   First and foremost, I am focussed on the Government & Governance – NOT DSS at all. The DSS episode is but the trigger. To me, the likes of DSS whether from the Sikhs, - [#EndHindiImposition Calamity awaits BJP](https://jsrinivasan.com/endhindiimposition-calamity-awaits-bjp/): Humans are doomed to repeat historical blunders. And the BJP is no different. On the one hand Modi keeps touting the “diversity” of India as a great “strength”. Yet, the GOI is slowly but surely trying to impose Hindi by the back door. Mandating that Hindi be written on all centrally funded projects, institutions etc. Yet no other vernacular is on any such board anywhere in the northern hindi speaking states. In fact most don’t even have english (as per the 2 language formula that was agreed upon in the 1970s to settle what was a contentious issue. This anti Hindi - [Farmer distress - Catch 22](https://jsrinivasan.com/farmer-distress-catch-22/): The Modi GOI must act swiftly to waive all farmer loans now. A delay to time it with the 2019 elections will boomerang on the BJP. - [Mainstream Media's fig leaf blown!](https://jsrinivasan.com/mainstream-medias-fig-leaf-blown/): The advent of Narendra Modi as PM gave the general population in India it's very first opportunity since independence to look under "Mainstream Media's" fig leaf.

But lets local politicians and bureaucrats run huge scams and make life miserable for tourists! When will the Minister for Tourism wake up? Or the Minister for Road Transport stop these scamsters from using taxpayer money to build roads that serve a selected few? - [Why did AAP's plans go up in smoke?](https://jsrinivasan.com/why-did-aaps-plans-go-up-in-smoke/): Before the votes were counted, AAP was expected to win Goa and Sweep Punjab. They scored a duck in Goa and lost badly to Congress in Punjab, doing worse than they did in the 2014 general elections! What happened??? - [Narendra Modi will tackle corrupt Babus](https://jsrinivasan.com/narendra-modi-will-tackle-corrupt-babus/): While everyone in the corrupt media keep harping on the corruption stemming from the elections (which is true), they conveniently leave untouched the other perpetually ongoing corruption from rent seeking IAS, IPS, IRS and others in the babudom. The reasons are quite obvious – media houses would be shut down in the blink of an eye if the babudom goes after it given the fake, twisted news these presstitutes spew 24/7. But Narendra Modi has an ace up his sleeve. The impact of DeMo. Now the cynics will say babus are collecting new notes now. True. But that’s being shortsighted in - [Waiting for a Dabur Breakout](https://jsrinivasan.com/waiting-for-a-dabur-breakout/): Dabur is India’s largest Ayurvedic medicine & related products manufacturer.

All civic works are carried out by the GoK’s governance structures like BWSSB, BBMP, BESCOM, etc. These are manned by GoK Officials. The direction comes from the Elected Representatives of the people, in the wards (Corporators) and the Assembly Constituencies (MLAs). To a lesser extent, the MPs get involved in the larger projects and central GOI related matters. The role of RWAs is to collect the views of the residents and present them to the ‘authorities’, especially the peoples’ representatives – Corporator & MLA. Convince them to take it up with the Government Machinery. Ultimately, it is the - [#7 Monthly Online Meetings](https://jsrinivasan.com/civic-work/7-monthly-online-meetings/): Transparency is the bedrock of trust building amongst members of our community. And Communications is the primary tool to do so. So far we have no idea of what transpires in the MC Meetings. Let alone what gets minuted and executed by the OBs / MC. Of course, we’re told we can take an appointment and ask to see the minutes book at the RWA Office. And the office is only open in restricted hours, and not at all during the lockdowns etc. It’s necessary to post all minutes of the MC meetings, including that of the AGMs & SGMs on - [#6 Volunteer Street Coordinators](https://jsrinivasan.com/civic-work/6-volunteer-street-coordinators/): The RWA ‘belongs’ to all it’s members, not just the MC or OB of the RWA. Sure, these are “Volunteers” but have opted to “serve” by standing for election. Once they’ve “volunteered” to serve and stand for election, they have given up the right to complain that members ask them to take up matters on behalf of the members! It implies they have made the commitment of time and effort to represent the members’ interests before officials and politicians who’re supposed to have been doing so in the first place. So why involve ‘Street Coordinators’? If we want to have a - [#5 Community gatherings](https://jsrinivasan.com/civic-work/5-community-gatherings/): You’ll hear that the Corona Waves have ‘prevented’ the RWA from organising Community gatherings. That is the best ‘excuse’ to avoid building a vibrant community. Yes, physical gatherings would be difficult, but can be organised with Covid Protocol strictly enforced. Even the GoK had issued many guidelines to do so. But that’s a discussion for another day! When you don’t want to build healthy membership relations, any excuse is enough. With even a modicum of creativity, it would have been possible to organise events online for members to join in as well as participate. Painting, Music, Singing, Poetry, Drama, Dancing, etc - [#4 Online CIVIC complaints](https://jsrinivasan.com/civic-work/4-online-civic-complaints/): The 4th Block has been plagued with innumerable civic breakdowns for over 3 years. We all know the breakdowns not only because we have all faced these hardships, but also see desperate messages on the WhatsApp group. These messages on the WA group are often ignored and usually beget not even the courtesy of a response from the RWA. How is that okay, when any RWA is supposed to be looking after the interests of the members? One wonders who’s interests were being looked after. We should only stand for election if we are 100% committed to our members who fund - [#3 Online payments to RWA](https://jsrinivasan.com/civic-work/3-online-payments-to-rwa/): With the whole of India, including rural areas, going online for swift and easy payments, the RWA should enable the simple act of payments to it by online mode. Those who still wish to pay by off-line mode can, of course, continue to do so. The *option* of online payment is the least the RWA MC should enable as a rudimentary service to it’s members. The Security of operating the RWA’s accounts may remain off-line, if the MC so feels on account of security concerns. The proposed RWA Website would have all these facilities, and using any UPI App would be - [Instructor Registration](https://jsrinivasan.com/instructor-registration/): [tutor_instructor_registration_form] - [Student Registration](https://jsrinivasan.com/student-registration/): [tutor_student_registration_form] - [#2 Knowledge base of the community](https://jsrinivasan.com/civic-work/2-knowledge-base-of-the-community/): All our members have plenty of experience in dealing with our day to day needs, as must an RWA put these together. Who is the concerned official to contact for a breakdown in one or another civic facility? Stray dogs Garbage clearance Power failure Road digging or debris clearance Robberies Parking of vehicles Water supply etc. Where can we find a good clinic or GP? Medical Tests Home visits Specialties Feedback from residents What are the current salaries of various kinds of services and facilities? Maids Drivers Watchmen Dog trainers Ambulances etc. How do we find a reliable tenant? Reliable brokers - [#1 Build an online ward management system](https://jsrinivasan.com/civic-work/1-build-an-online-ward-management-system/): #Fact: Members of the 4th Block RWA had a running fight with the Office Bearers (OB) simply to get the RWA’s Bank Account number to remit the annual fees. In these times of Covid, with all offices closed, the RWA refused to even part with the bank account number and insisted on a cheque to be handed over. The RWA OB refused to have an online AGM, even though statutory & private entities all over the country were holding mega AGMs online. Complaints from members with request for assistance are neither organized nor is there any accountability.
