Remembering Rajiv ji..........

Rajiv Gandhi , the visionary of modern india , Crores of Indian  Youths , today should be thankful for his vision in ushering india to a computer and , Telecommunications revolution . He was the inspiring force for catapulating our Country to the status of  superpower in the software services .

I still remember the insuniations on his computerisation drive across the India. Many Political opponents and  opposition parties were making fun of what a TV kind of BOX can do for the welfare of the Indians ? But he went ahead with his plans towards the computerization of the India , Revamping  the education system towards studying the computer science as one of the subject in schools and higher education institutions.  I was one of first few batches of class 11 to study computer science as my subjects. Not to forget the cautionary advice from elders for choosing the computer science as the subject. 

His idea towards reducing the communication gap by increasing the teledensity  allover India has benefitted many people in all walks of life , be it a father in the village communicating with child living in the city or abroad or the big business house communicating with its executives in the last mile village of our country , we have to acknowledge and be thankful for Rajiv ji's vision. Today we are enjoying the fruits of mass teledensity by the way of cheaper cost , efficient network all over india for variety of telcom services like internet , mobile telephony etc..

But looking back the last 20 years post his brutal assasination , he may have left us bodily , but his vision is still guiding the Indians to excel in the fields of Telcom, software services . After the agricultural sector , the software services sector has become one of the job opportunity  providing sector in our country. Software sector has been the sole source of income generation , increased lifestyle and provided more growth oppoturnities for many young people be it in India or anyother country in the world. 

Lets all pray for his soul to rest in peace and guide us for ever !

Tale of Two Laptop Bags

I was travelling from Nagpur to Chennai via Bangalore   on Jetlite recently  with my family. We had a lady passenger who sat on the same row.  We had a stopover at Mumbai, where the passengers proceeding to Bangalore were asked to stay on the flight . An Airhostess alerts all the passengers proceeding to Bangalore to check on their belongings and Hand Carry Luggage to be identified by each passenger to the Security staff on the transit. The lady who was on our row, then realised her Laptop has been picked by the other passenger who deplaned at Mumbai leaving his on our plane (case of Mistaken Identity).

The lady asks the Cabin crew head to alert their ground staff to help  recover her laptop bag. To our surprise the cabin crew asked her to go to the arrival hall and do it on her own, she boarded the bus to the arrival hall and I believe she had to run from pillar to post to find about the whereabouts of her Laptop. Finally, she managed to get hold of the person who was having her laptop after about 45 mins , but she couldn’t get through on the phone to that gentleman as he had boarded another flight to his destination. In spite of her requests to the ground staff, they were never not ready to help her citing Security reasons in getting hold of the man who was having her laptop . With all these commotion behind her, she had to leave the arrival hall to board the flight which was to depart to Bangalore; she was one of the last passengers to board the aircraft.

Back in the aircraft, she was furious on herself and the ground staff for not being so cooperative. With few minutes for the take-off, she gets a call from the gentleman who was having her laptop; he was departing in a Jet Airways flight which was just about 50 meters to our right. She again makes request to the cabin crew to help her get her laptop from the other plane which is still on the tarmac , Now our cabin crew staffs point blank denied  her request saying it’s now a security issue as we are about to push off for departure and can’t do anything. She continues her conversation with gentleman making alternate plans to get their laptops, I happen to sit near the window and my wife suddenly spots a ground support staff  from the other Aircraft , running towards our flight waving his hand to the pilot to stop and to ground support staff of our plane not to remove the ladder, while carrying the laptop bag in his other hand.  So all ended well with each one getting their laptops back!! The lady was lucky that the other passenger who mistakenly took her laptop was also transiting.

On the whole issue I found the cabin crew of our plane were not very cooperative to the plight of the passenger. With the numerous passengers travelling on a day trip for their businesses, I could imagine the plight of not having your own laptop. A simple communication through their support staff could have solved the issue. The airlines nowadays have a smoke screen in the name of Security to ward off the passengers requests, compromising on the service .  If the security was the issue I am still wondering how the gentleman from other plane could send the laptop to this plane through the support staff ??
