Of tits and bits
Nowadays m reeling under too much workload.It is getting on my nerves and at times also affects my behaviour.That is what you call a stressful life in the corporate world.I guess this is the actual corporate world, where you are supposed to slog day in and day out.Moving over to other issues the Gujarat elections are over and the results are yet to come out,but then anyways that hardly matters as almost everyone knows what the outcome would be.It would be an outright victory for Modi.He had a total domination in the elections.The election was all about Modi and only Modi.Sonia Gandhi gave him a wonderful opportunity to shift the attention from development to communal issues and he gleefully pouched the opportunity.On other fronts USA has finally agreed to some kind of cut down on some kind of emissions.The convention which was held in Bali saw initially a stubborn not agreeing on cutting down emissions,but instead putting pressure on developing like India to cut down emissions.It is worth noting that the Kyoto protocol did not require developing countries to cut down on emissions.USA is the only developed country which has not ratified the Kyoto protocol. The present convention required the developed countries to cut down green house emission by at least 25-40 %.Tokyo and Washington were totally against this but then the tough stance taken by EU and India forced them to agree to it.India on its part said that if it is forced to cut down emissions then this would severely hamper its development,and in the words of the foreign secretary" when we speak of shared responsibility it must include the international community's shared responsibility to ensure the right to development of the developing countries. Development is the best form of adaptation to climate change".
