2008, the year of glorious uncerainities

for medical profession
the year always remembered for the contribution it has done to our profession.
arogya sri..has been introduced.i am not here to discuss..the merits and demerits of the programme. but i am happy some insurance has come to the aid of..some poor peple. with that arogya sri alone we are able to do 200 operations and 100 more pediatric cases in our trust hospitals.we already got the money of what we have spent. had we got more clever..we might have finishd with good profits.so in my view people who are organizing well[even with out bogus cases and sincerrity.. can get results.i will tell my experiences with arogya sri later..in separate column.
then ofcourse phc doctrs are also getting good pay on par with central health.doctors are less vulnerable to public attacks[which are mostly black mailing] after that special security bill. like non bailable arrest warrant.

non MEDICAL
sports we achieved un thinkable.. GOLD MEDAL BY INDIVIDUAL.. in shooting.at olympics...by abhinav bindra..PROVING THAT INDIANS ARE VERY GOOD AT HAND EYE CORDINATION.
then sachin's record as highest run getter..in cricket.thee other victories like saina in badminton, anand in chess, geev milka singh in golf, indian football winning nehru cup and qualifying.. for asian foot ball champion ship.so we are rising in sport.
in politics...congress has once again proved that..in terms of administative policies..it is the best..that nuclear deal against odds..is wonderful achievement. .ofcourse. .even after terror attacks india showed a lot of restraint..and put the ball and onus on international. .community to tackle pakistan. had bjp is there we could have gone for..war..by this time.i think we got best people at business end like pranab mukherjee and manmoohan singh.the govt also tackled..economic crisis..more than many govts acroos the globe[including uk and us]
but there are many disaapointments.
entertainment wise...its the small movies that ruled the roost nowlike happy days .many big movies flopped.ghajini is good but it is a remake.noted artistes like shobhan babu,raghuvaran, mallikarjun passed away.of course chiranjeevi, pavan layan moved away to politics.new promising stars and directors have emerged.
business wise..stock markets crashed..i lost 1 and half lakh money in it.many trapped in it.real estate also looking south wise.inflation, rising prises, rupee depreciation, increasing revenue gap, oil prices,depleting forex reserves,hardened bank interests..all are ominous signs against good business.malls, cinema halls, marriages, hositals , companies are closing.people are losing jobs, poverty is increasing. .

telangana, the battle ground of elections 2009!

its amazing its that factor again...in the 2009 assembly elections..as does it on..2004 elections.
lets look at complexity of telangana.it has 117 assembly seats and 17 loksabha seats. out of which 8 assembly seats and one loksabha seat is under mazlis party influence.so left over seats to all parties...is 110 assembly seats and 16 loksabha seats.
now let us look at the alliance..in this region. 2004 elections congress has given..52 seats to TRS and 6 loksbha seats.out of which TRS won 26 seats and 4 loksabha seats.
but currently TRS is doing negotiations with..TDP to give 60 assembly seats and...10 loksabha seats. TDP is already agreed to give 40 assembly seats each..to cpi and cpm.as well as four loksabha seats.
well if it materialises then tdp is left with... 150 seats only! out of 294 seats in the assemblyand
TRS is going to ask these seats[60]... in telangana. , then TDP is left with very few seats..it may be detrimental. .to TDP chances.. in telengana .as it have to give 30 seats..in khammam and nalgonda to communists. so guess CBN is having unenviable role of not just allies but with in NTR family as well.so let us see how he faces up in telangana
mean while TRS is bargaining with PRP..at least..70 seats and 12 MP SEATS.prp PEOPLE ARE ALSO IN DILEMMA NOW..about how far they can go with TRS.
but one thing for sure..who ever wins this battle..in telangana..will come to power.

caste in andhra politics

but whole anhdra is now triangular.. fight..between 3 communities..kamma, kapu and redyy.kamma alinace..CBN, CPI's narayana, CPM's raghavulu..all are kammas' added to that now velema dora like kcr and backed two powerful media..radha krishna of andhra jyothi,eenadu's ramojirao..all are kamma's.there is no doubt..about that it has been a kamma vari picnic to ap politics.
well for rddy's it is always congress...bc's and madiga of scs are backing congress[if that sc vargikarana does take place]minorities are now with congress..as they hate bjp as well as... tdp.
well chru's entry..has revolutionised election scenario. he belongs to one of many kapu's. KAPU's are long been wanting a representative in their community..in state politics..they have lot of hopes on chru..since the days of NTR.
in the mean while..dasari narayana rao or jogayya tried to fill the vacuum..butt hey failed as usual. becoz kammas were too powerful for them..and they had to take shelter..with congress.actually kapus hate kamma's. so traditionally they are alliened with..congress.
with chiru's entry..the whole scenario has changed.now they are going to ..vote for chiru..instead of congress.so all kapu's are alligning themselves..recently vanga veeti radha krishna 's entry points to that.

chranjeevi...[the third alternative]

chiranjeevi...alias sivasankar
i always believe that it is far better to test yourself if what you are capable of..in the sea..rather than sitting at shore wondering.if's and buts.we must appreciate his intention... to serve the people, whether he will be able to do it..or become another..sivagi ganeshan..it is altogether different matter.
sivaji ganeshan also contesed in tamilnadu..and lost the elction very badly. then we had..an example of vijayakanth..also met the same fate..of sivaji.
we all know politics is a game of power.and it is not the only way to..serve the people.now what makes him to join politics..is just to enjoy the power?!or serve the people.[any way he is doing it..with blood bank and eye bank].so it is the power...that dragged him into this circus.

.[ here the ring master is voter..untill all the elections are over. after the elctions the whole field will become..a jungle..and all these animals will dictate].

chiru..joined politics with intentions of coming to power. he did not bother about..what happened in tamil nadu. he is only bothered about andhra..where late NTR also enjoyed similar image..as chiru.during time of...NTR ..the voters..are mainly rural people..who believed NTR..as god.that helped him..to come to the power.
for chiranjeevi..he has also a lot of following among youth.there is large fan base.but as every one knows he comes from..a strong caste base.that helps him..he also tries to woo other weaker sections..like bcs, women, minorities. how far the move succeeds..only time will tell.

i welcome chiru. as i told you i dont have bigger expectations from chiru, in terms of making a change.
all the politicians are pieces of same cloth. they may differ in shapes..but ultimately...they play the game of power.
why i welcome..is just to have a wider choice....even it goes for a hung assembly..still i beleive these politicians must be accountable.the only way to make sure they are accountable. is .by threatening various..options to choose. other wise politicians will rule like kings.
if the opposition is strong they cannot take monopoly decisions.. so i welcome him.

i also dont believe that he comes to power.but he will have his own share of vote bank.interestingly..although he appears...misfit..i feel pavan kalyan..will become better politician than chiru, what do you say!

india cancells pak tour ,breather for cricketers

india govt refused permission to bcci for tour to pakistan.becoz there are no cordial relations with that country. i dont see them changing in recent times.i think pakistan rapidly losing international confidence.
the ball is in pak court..to change that. i pray god to succeed in their effort.
for indian cricketers..this would mean a breather. they can heave a sigh of relief. they are playing nonstop cricket since since australian tour.now that tour is cancelled in their minds..they can freely in this..mohali test.i hope they end the year on a high note.
this year has been a great year. it has some incredible wins against.. some formidable opponents like australia, south africa and now england..boosting their chances of becoming no 1.
for england..even though they lost pretty badly till now..still they are never push overs. they gave india..a run for the money.it is only india which is consistent in crucial phaces of the game..has led it to top of england. other wise i see england not to lose heart.they are good side. they have played when there is worst terror attacks on indian soil.. they are bold even when they know terrorists are fter british nationalists..too.i hope this will be a fitting lesson to all over the world..that sport can be played if you are sportive enough like england. so england has won my heart..by touring india..when the conditions are very difficult to them.. england take a bow.

ys. rajasekhar reddy


Y.S. rajasekhar reddy
many would agree with me..it is ysr..alone brought..charisma to congress party.other wise..we would have seen CBN still ruling the state. there is no other congress leader as charismatic. .as ysr.
remember when NTR IS THROWN OUT OF POWER... by people in 1989..still congress won the elction with out..a charismatic leader.but on 2003 it is purely becoz ysr..congress has..won..as people has found an alternative[ ysr] to chandra babu naidu.
YSR..means congress. yes..if you see the abbrevation carefully... it is congress.
y...all congress men questions any policy or rule or law.. both with in govt or in opposition party.they are always rebels to the core. rajasekhar reddy..wrote many letters questioning chenna reddy, janardhan reddy, when they are cms.he is always rebel.
s means yes to high command. whatever position be a chief minister or prime minister, they are all obedient to high command. all congreess men are remote controlled by high command.
r means..reddy. all high power congress men ..they are all reddy's. it is the dominant caste..in congress. they say more about..democracy. ...but they have poor internal democracy.

so YSR typifies..a congress man. he always loyal to congress. never jumped..to toher parties.. born and brought..up in faction environment. his father y.s. raja reddy..is biggest..factionist ..seema has ever encountered. though he was brutally killed by the rivals..still YSR cleverly..not went for..revenge killikngs..so far.[ but every body knows his rivals ultimately.. meet the same fate of that of his father]. why i say..cleverly. .becoz he sought..political mileage out of it.
his plus points to me..are his determination to do a task when promised.if he says.. free power..he will implement..it come what may be. if he says arogya sri.. he will implent it.even jala yagnam..too. .he started them..even with out...approval of authorities[ court, other departments] confident that he will get them sooner than later.he takes decisions very courageously. for example in recent encounter..of acid criminals..thats a bold decision. but he did it..with out batting an eyelid. may be faction environment helps him to do that likely.another strong feature of him is his leadership. he backs his loyalists to the core. come what may..be..he stands by them..despite public pressure for example..some tainted ministers like bothsa satyanarayana, diwakara reddy..and others.this helps him to keep the flock together..as in congress we have seen that..many.. are notorious in pulling the CM chair.ofcourse his famous padayatra..in mid summer..has helped his image rase in common public..for me..YSR.. stands for courage, standing by his word..come what may be.. ofcourse he has done some thing to medical community..as well.first.. cancellation of unnecessary medical camps.so there is no political pressure..on us. then he introduced UGC pay scale system..which we are requesting govt for a long time. then he also intoduced a bill to punish those who damages hospital properteis ot hospital personnel.it is a criminal offence..if any one even abuses a doctor...un necessarily.

his negative points...i think.. are many..like any congress men. the govt is very corrupt. especially politicians. .they are all corrupt.there is a commision for every land deal..a corporate wants. even a corporator.. toop wants his share..when one wants to construct a building.for transfers..the sum is enormous.one of the associate professor dr krishna[name changed]has paid..rs 2 lakhs to dme..officilas and another two lakhs for..local mla..just for recommendation. to andhra medical college.you know..he stayed for one day..at AMC ..as associate professor..in pediatrics only to be known..that he got tranferred to guntur..for MCI inspections.
all that 4 lakh rupee money went to drain. thats har earned money. imagine..it is happening to associate professor..how it affects a common man. so under YSR 's rule corruption is rampant.next thing is under his rule the prise ris of eesntial..articles also very high. he has unable to check black marketing. . ofcourse oil prise..rise. .doesnot help him either.
in his per projects like ..jalayagnam, free power, arogya sri..are all good..but ineffective. .as the beurocracy is sleeping over them..causing irritating delay..
so over all although ..he is good leader..he is not..that pragmatic..or administrator. it is only to be seen how much it is going to be affecting..coomon man.if people get vexed..he will booted out. or if they cannot find an alternative. .YSR MAY SILL HANG ON..TO HIS SEAT.

PUBLIC ENCOUNTER

there are many encounters took place earlier in the state..it escaped from general public attention. but this encounter on acid thrower criminals..aroese wide spread..happiness among genaral public.
acid thrown on to the face of two innocent women and their faces and lives are in danger..whatever could be the reason..it is highly..deplorable.and condemnable. when one hears that news..one wants to kill those who are involved. but as you know in india, the justice is often delayed. legal system has many loop holes that one can escape.
so once you heard that..the criminals are caught..peple wanted early justice.next day we are hearing..that they are killed in an encounter where the accused....tried to attack..policeman. well every one beleives that it is fake encounter....but most are delighted..becoz ealry justice has met to the victims..i feel. but the loss to their health of victims are irrepairable. that is the sad part of it. but i feel for poor defence less girls. let this encounter will be a deterrent to furthur any such ghastly acts.!

chanra babu naidu[CBN]

chandra babu naidu: he started his life [political] as student politics at tirupathi. there also..he is active. basically he is shrewed.in cricket we call this as timing. cbn known for correct timing. he knows very well..about when to execute a decision and when to delay. he knows when to react..and when to not react. this is called political shrewedness.. it is the legacy of late P.V. narasimharao.he is very good at organising any..political movements.
he ditched his own father-in-law..at the right time..[when people started questioning NTR, about laxmi parvathi's role in the party]. he chose that perfect moment to ditch him. he knows very well ntr's family always against the MARRIAGE with laxmi parvathi. but he waited for people and party men to get angry with laxmi paravathi. [ it is heard laxmi parvathi used to to kitchen politics..for any posting in the state].
it was accepted by..the people and party men..so much that ..even death of NTR and his curses did notstop him winning elections[1996, 1998, 1999 3 loksabha elections, one state elections].
he even sidelined popular measures like 2rs kilo rice, prohibition for liquor[as it is causing lot of unhappiness for state treasury, investors who want to come and invest in andhra pradesh] during that time.. he is the one who carried manmohan singh's reforms aggressively..and started putting investments..software technology..made hyderabad a hitech city.he reformed power secotr..so very well.beofre that there is only one production for electricity..that is hydel power. but he invsted in other sectors like..coal, gas and naptha also.but unfortunatly during his time there were no rains..and hence people suffered from hufe power lossess..and all his reforms ....go no where.
economy is also not in boom zone[thats what exactly happened when congress came to power in 2003]. so he suffred in addition to draught , slow economy has punished him.he also noted for alerting people about their responsibilities ..in asking beuracrats,politicians who are under performing..in a programme called..JANMA BHOOMI.. HE HAS CUT DOWN JOBS IN LESS PRIORITY SECTIONS AND IMPROVED JOBS IN PRIORITY SECTIONS LIKE HEALTH, EDUCATION.. WELL THESE ARE REFORMS..HE HAS ACHIEVED AND SHOULD BE CREDITED FOR THAT.there is no doubt that he is a shrewed politician, good visionary.and have 2020 vision.. these are all pluses he has achieved in his political life.
so what went wrong,! why he has lost an election so badly..despite the fact..congress is known for its corruption..he lost the battle..very badly. he didnot get even 50 seats in assembly.every one should remember..people who voted..against him..knew very well that congress is very corrupted, opportunistic, biased, factionalistic, groupism, nepotism. despite all that knowledge..still people..voted..for congress.[ dont think that people expected congress will change] they routed tdp.
WHY..becoz they are very angry with CBN.they just wanted..an alternative. they have come to a conclusion..that any body..even congress[my beleif if chiru came into politics even he fared] would be better.
why the anger
this is becoz over 9yrs of his rule..he has developed..many negatives which he ignored. during tough times..one's character..will be exposed.that is what exactly happened..to him.the same political shrwedness that brought him to power..is the one ..the cause for his down fall.he thought..during times of bad debts, ryot suicides, draught, and angry govt employees, his alipiri..naxal incident..will fetch him...sympathy votes.he even convinced the then NDA govt at center...to join for early and premature elections.his political manevering has become too much for genaral public.
he used to appear.on .every news channel, every govt office, every cinematheatre, every market place..even every wall papers..continuously. people are fed up with this attitude of him.entire film industry,media[including chiru] barring supported him or were made to support.. he wanted to create an impression TINA[ there is no alternative] to him. then apeared YSR ..with his charismatic padayatra..ala NTR..believe me including me wanted to get rid of.. CBN..for any sake...at that time.
besides..as i told you earlier also,in those tough times..he faces crisis in his own party.he ignored..pary cadre thinkng that he is bigger than party. he thought his alipiri incident alone will fetch him votes so why bother party cadre. he chiefly relied on..some survey results which always there to please the employee.
he is a poor leader too. he always fears about second degree level leaders. whenever some leader gets good recognition in the party..he sidelines him.due to fear of constant back stabbing. he never stood for party men who were in crisis. he used to leave them .. for their own fate.
a leader should be courageous enough to take decisions. but he prolongs them, way too much. this view is from higher officials
.
i dont mind ditching, that is common in politics..when some one climbing..in the party..but at the top, one needs to be pragmatic and encourage..second degree leadership. but here is a classic case.where a president never aloows or encourages a second degree leadership, look for the fate of , DEV GOUD, RAMACHANDRAIAAH, NAGIREDDY,TAMMINENI, ETC..HE SMOKED THEM..FEARING THAT..THEY MIGHT CREATE .. rebellion in the party..against his leadership..if party loses in the next elections.
well call it shrewedness or insecurity..he is still playing the game.
he wants NTR family with him during his tough times..but sure he will discard them once the elctions are over.
ofcourse..there are several corruption charges against..CBN..but you know in politics..there is no saint. afterall he needs to run..a political party and run an election.it needs lot of money.he certainly got that. i have no complaints about that.i blame people like shiva for corruption. the roots of corruption always in the minds voters.
how he fares up in coming elections..well i will discuss in separate mail..about..election strategies..of various leaders..including CBN..as this is already..big mail.
for me.. CBN is an interesting guy.and entertainer.in indian politics[ relly whever i read any statement from him, i feel he is up to some thing..in future,it is never a passing statement]..i also feel he is the one reason and joy for media.. as he keeps on giving some interesting thing every day..to keep himself in media. i also love his political shrewedness.i never liked his leadership..qualities.i admire his vision for state.i donot like him as an opposition leader[altough he tries to be in news for any incident to trouble the govt]..but failed to keep his tribe close to the unity. many in the party left the party..simply becoz he failed to create that confidence among cadr..that he will come back to power.so that is disappointing..about him
.
i love the way he is using NTR family.. i must say CBN is a political pundit. a chanakya to the core !.whether he will be..rewarded for..with maser degree[power] or not..only..people..and time will tell

war like situation

hey i feel a war like situation now.
india alerted its navy and airforce on alert.any time it may strike the terror traing camps on other side of border!
so tensions mounting. i never seen a war.till now.when i was born india already fought three wars against our feisty neighbor.
ofcourse i saw kargil war. but..its not felt by me very much
but this time i feel corrective measures to be taken for safety.
i support the govt for going to war..with our neighbor...only when diplomatic efforts are are failing.i feel we should mount. pressure on..pakistan..by the international community
but i think china is real culprit here it is block our efforts in security council.
the clock is clicking..we cannot just sit on intrnational community's decision. we must act..and face whatever it takes.

welcome move by voters

i am surprised with the result..of semifinal elections..recently.
i thought people will throw out the system that had upon them after mumbai attacks.but voters are mature. they just dont want a performing govt to go!
i live in andhra, i am doctor by profession. so naturally i am having a soft corner towards my chief minister who is also a doctor.
recently there are many attacks on hospitals by disgrunted and unsatisfied people on hospitals leading to lot of loss finacially and reputation wise to many doctors. but govt reacted well to the situation provided legal cover for us.. so whatever conclusions at this point of time..i vote for YSR again!

welcome move by voters

kudos to poms

england is playing 1st test at chennai. it has scored unbeaten 1 st wicket partnership[latest score..is 116 for no loss. good begining bycook and straus.
i am delighted that crikcet is cheering us once again..thanks to england.
these are stressfultimes for me.i am insecure.frustated in helplessness. i dont know when the next terror attack comes and take my life out.
i feel it crazy..that cricket should not going ahead.infact it is my best medicine to divert my self..from the issues.i love this game
especially test cricket..it is tenacious, compelling..i feel watching test cricket..is just enacting my self with life.
i am an indian. so i am disappointed with the loss of saurav and anil from the side.but fresh water do need to come..and i am looking eagerly how it tastes!
poms really shown the mettle[i dont care whatever reasons for their arrival in this situation]and come and entertain us. i am thankful to BCCI also for making me feel happy.
cheers
