A Clarification

Recently one of my friends friends came across my blog and asked me a question.
Then, one of my graduation classmates asked me the same question. The question in question is "Where are you getting all these images from? We tried googling, but did not find any website with these stuff.".
I thought I should really clarify stuff for people now.

Missed out on blogging

as i stand here from my place at office, i see a beautiful view of the open blue sky, huge clean ground covered by green grass, amidst beautiful weather, but still I have a feeling @heart, i feel somethings missing, my hands feel cold, yeah its happening again, ........ this is the beginning of my being tense for some period before it subsides.

..................lotza unposted stuff goes here..................................

my hands have become so cold that its difficult to type now, so till this subsides, this thought will go on. coming back to the other parts of my life, yeah i still live alone in a single room, occasionally meet my ibm friendz at their houses or in that area on the road. and ppl whoever were close to me have left one by one @sap. jc left for mba@xlri, karthick left for his new venture, pawan compelted his term here, sreekar could leave shortly for ms, dont know whats to become of me :)).

watched my firzt movie at bangalore, this was my firzt movie after one year three months too :)), bommarillu rocked, could relate to most of the characters in the movie.

personal life went for a toss too between my last post and this one. and then got settled.

hope is the only thing thats keeping me going on, for everyday, the sun will come out and shine all the more bright!!

i have a dream, a dream of a million seas, a million blue seas said the king
and then, said the saint
i will make my fleet the most powerful in the world and conquer all of them
and then, said the saint
i have a dream, a dream of a million mines, a million gold mines said the king
and then, said the saint
i will be the richest king in the world and my kingdom the richest
and then, said the saint
i have a dream, a dream of a million wives, a million beautiful wives said the king
and then, said the saint
i will be the luckiest husband in the world and the most loving
and then, said the saint
i have a dream, a dream of a million horses, a million strong horses said the king
and then, said the saint
i will be the king to all the powerful warriors in the world and my army shall know no bounds
and then, said the saint
at this point, the king was a bit perplexed and looked at the saint
and then, said the saint
but maharaz, i have told u all that i want
at this point the saint puts his hand into his bag and takes out a small can
he gives it to the king and says "dude, all u need is a red bull"
"oh my God, red bull gives you wings".

The Milligram Story Part II

The stops came and went, the journey(my state of rest) embedded with moments of motion took me next to HAL / Airport, the next bus stop. Peeping outside, I see a small girl, in dirty rags carrying a baby and begging. And amidst the rush in the bus, I see a limping youngster trying to get into the bus. The people sitting in the front seat promptly got up and offered him the seat. He was carrying a file, loaded with documents (I guess), ......... one so typical of youngsters about to appear for an interview. He sported a familiar smile, flashing his teeth.........at once I remembered nalli dudes smile...........those were the days, I thought smiling within myself, the bus started moving again. Theres a long stretch of road after airport till we reach the next stop called Marathahalli, where the jamz are always minimal and the bus moves very fast normally. My memory(ram) got loaded with the graphics of nalli dudes room filled with bolero, jenny and pammy on the bed and nalli dude sitting on his pc, playing yeti sports.........the penguin throw, trying to beat my previous score..........ya know, this scene was so typical of amir khan looking out of his car window in dch and recollecting good memories with his friends.........okay okay, if i go on..........bolero will be the first one to say that i have started senti........ing in the midst of a nice blog. Marathahalli came, people got down in herds and as many got in again.............lo, it started again, I thought and heaved a sigh, a big one. I kept getting these words to my mind :: how did it all start, how did i end up going to a posh office in a remote area of bangalore, how did it all come here............images flashed before my eyes............of my getting through to ibm at college, and bolero, jenny and nalli all of them getting into tcs, nalli getting a couple of dresses as a present the same night, pammy into oracle and later one night when i was studying for m$, pammy telling me at around 11 pm that hes into m$.............why in the world did i end up here, away from my world, my family, my friends, iiit, etc., and then i recollected those dreadful nights of my first month at bangalore and at ibm, working all through the night and at the same time studying and preparing all the stuff that i hate the most and applying to everything possible and trying to increase my contacts, .............. i successfully worked my way through to saplabs and my life if not the best, started being better. Also, i let a 1kbmoment of spacetime of my memorycpu be spent on the time wasted for desperately trying to make it to G and m$..................to be continued.

Yeh Tara Woh Tara Har Tara..............

Hello guys, there was a point in keeping a song as the content of this blog for some time. Apart from highlighting that we miss the simple things in life it tells us that together we are stronger...............yuppie i too am being philosophic, but life has changed a lot since iiit and i wish to get back those days again, amal visited me yesterday, and it was a good dinner........for more than my stomach my mind needed it, had a long chat about good old college life, ofcourse did some bc too, but in the end, i liked it, and got regenerated.

Once again, Yeh tara woh tara har tara.............to life.

The Milligram Story

I got onto my daily bus to go to my office. As it happens daily, so it was that day, I managed to miss all the company buses that drop the employees directly at the company, thanks to the snoring fatman, a new joinee at my pg(paying guest for non-bangalore ppl). Anyway coming back to the scene in the bus. The 335A bus to itpl was full with ppl justling for space. It was the sort of bus with only a single entrance / exit at the front. I asked the driver for a ticket to graphite india, the nearest stop to my office. I took my ticket and waded my way to the back of the bus since my stop was just a few stops away from the last stop(whew!!!!, how many stops have i typed ??). And it would take a minimum of 45 minutes to reach my stop. I was standing with one hand held to the holding rod and the other in my pocket(some style, huh ;))). Barely did the bus move a few paces and lo, presto!!!!, another traffic junction and another wait started.
I got a seat after an elderly person got up, after getting frustrated due to the jam. Anywayz, the bus moved soon after and the next busstop was kodihalli. btw, i forgot to tell u, i stay in domlur layout and fyi, kodihalli is the next busstop while going on airport road.

The bus started after a few minutes (obviously due to a traffic jam, yeah in bangalore, the bus moves occasionally and the jams are the more frequent notable eventz).

King Of The Jungle ................... :))

A lion woke up one morning feeling really rowdy and mean.
He went out and cornered a small monkey and roared, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"
The trembling monkey says, "You are, mighty lion!
Later, the lion confronts a ox and fiercely bellows, "Who is the mightiest of all jungle animals?"
The terrified ox stammers, "Oh great lion, you are the mightiest animal in the jungle!"
On a roll now, the lion swaggers up to an elephant and roars, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?" Fast as lightning, the elephant snatches up the lion with his trunk, slams him against a tree half a dozen times leaving the lion feeling like it’d been run over by a safari wagon.
The elephant then stomps on the lion till it looks like a corn tortilla and ambles away.
The lion lets out a moan of pain, lifts his head weakly and hollers after the elephant - "Just because you don’t know the answer, you don’t have to get so upset about it!"

President's address ............... India Inc.

President's address to the nation on the eve of 59th Independence Day

August 14,2005 18:46 IST
Energy Independence

My Dear Citizens of India,
On the eve of the 59th Independence Day, I extend to you my best wishes for your happiness and prosperity. My greetings to all our people at home and abroad. Let us resolve, on this occasion, to remember with gratitude, the selfless and devoted services of our armed forces who are guarding our frontiers on the land, over the sea, and in the air.

We are also grateful to the paramilitary and police forces for preserving our internal security and maintaining law and order. I met 137 freedom fighters from 27 states and union territories on August 9, 2005, at Rashtrapati Bhavan. I saw their enthusiasm even at their ripe age, to bring back nationalism as a living movement. Today our country is free, because freedom fighters gave their best to the nation in their prime of youth. Honouring freedom fighters is honouring the independent nation and its spirit of nationalism. We must thank them with respect and make their lives happy.
Nature's Fury and its Management

While we are celebrating the 59th anniversary of our hard earned political independence, we have to remember the sufferings of our people affected by the recent rains and floods in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Orissa. The city of Mumbai and other areas in Maharashtra bore the brunt of nature's fury.

The people of these areas are meeting the challenge with courage and fortitude. The prime minister had visited some of the affected areas. I spoke to the chief minister of Maharashtra while he was visiting various places affected by the floods and I also shared my concern with other chief ministers. Maharashtra needs help at this critical juncture to mitigate the sufferings arising out of loss of life and properties inflicted by the fury of the rains and floods. All the states need to express their solidarity with the people of Maharashtra in their time of distress and suffering and collectively help in removing the pain of the people. Mumbai needs an urgent reconstruction to face unexpected heavy rains, as it happened this year.

Rainfall and Floods: Rainfall and floods are annual features in many parts of the country. Instead of thinking about interlinking of rivers only at times of flood and drought, it is time that we implement this programme with a great sense of urgency. We need to make an effort to overcome various hurdles in our way to the implementation of this major project. I feel that it has the promise of freeing the country from the endless cycle of floods and droughts. Also, as a measure for preventing flooding of streets in cities due to heavy sustained downpour, I would suggest the Ministry of Urban Development at the Centre and the state governments to mount a programme to rebuild and modernise the infrastructure and storm-water drainage systems including construction of under ground water silos to store excess water.

This water can be treated, processed and used at the time of shortages as practiced in many other countries. Fortunately India has adequate technology and expertise in making underground tunnels for the metro rail system. This technology can be used for constructing underground water storage systems.

Earthquake Forecasting: Another natural phenomenon that affects and causes damages of high magnitude without pre-warning in many parts of our country is the earthquake. To prevent heavy damage to the people and property, we need to accelerate research for forecasting earthquakes. Research work on earthquake forecasting is being done in many countries. We in India should have an integrated research team consisting of experts drawn from academia, meteorology and space departments for creating earthquake forecast modeling using pre-earthquake and post-earthquake data collected from various earthquake occurrences in our country. This can be validated periodically with the proven forecasting data available from other countries.

Earth Systems Science: Many of the countries in the world have experienced successive calamities driven by nature. Till recently, researchers the world over had been pursuing research in unconnected ways, in climate, earthquakes, ocean sciences and earth sciences, without realising the latent, but tight coupling between these areas. This new realisation has prompted many countries to pursue the interdisciplinary area of research, which is now known as earth systems science. It is in fact fast emerging as an area of convergence between earth, climate, ocean, environment, instrumentation and computer sciences. I strongly suggest that India should mount a programme in this emerging area of earth systems science. This will call for a dedicated, cohesive and seamless integration between researchers in multiple areas and in multiple organisations. Further, earth systems science does not obey political or geographical borders. It is truly a science and its intensive results would make our planet safe and prosperous.

Unlike research in strategic areas, wherein nations have to maintain superiority over other nations, earth systems science is the ultimate realisation of human kind to collaborate, since no nation is safe, if its neighbours are not. Nature's fury knows no borders.
Dear citizens, on January 26, 2005, I discussed with you the potential for employment generation in eight areas. I am happy that a number of actions are evolving.

Energy Independence

Today on this 59th Independence Day, I would like to discuss with all of you another important area that is 'energy security' as a transition to total 'energy independence'.
Energy is the lifeline of modern societies. But today, India has 17% of the world's population and just 0.8% of the world's known oil and natural gas resources. We might expand the use of our coal reserves for some time and that too at a cost and with environmental challenges. The climate of the globe as a whole is changing. Our water resources are also diminishing at a faster rate. As it is said, energy and water demand will soon surely be a defining characteristic of our people's life in the 21st Century.

Energy security rests on two principles. The first, to use the least amount of energy to provide services and cut down energy losses. The second, to secure access to all sources of energy including coal, oil and gas supplies worldwide, till the end of the fossil fuel era, which is fast approaching. Simultaneously, we should access technologies to provide a diverse supply of reliable, affordable and environmentally sustainable energy.

As you all know, our annual requirement of oil is 114 million tonnes. A significant part of this is consumed in the transportation sector. We produce only about 25% of our total requirement. The presently known resources and future exploration of oil and gas may give mixed results. The import cost today of oil and natural gas is over Rs 120,000 crore. Oil and gas prices are escalating; the barrel cost of oil has doubled within a year. This situation has to be combated.
Energy scurity, which means ensuring that our country can supply lifeline energy to all its citizens, at affordable costs at all times, is thus a very important and significant need and is an essential step forward. But it must be considered as a transition strategy, to enable us to achieve our real goal that is -- energy independence or an economy which will function well with total freedom from oil, gas or coal imports. Is it possible?

Hence, energy independence has to be our nation's first and highest priority. We must be determined to achieve this within the next 25 years, therefore by the year 2030. This one major 25-year national mission must be formulated, funds guaranteed, and leadership entrusted without delay as public-private partnerships to our younger generation, now in their 30s, as their lifetime mission in a renewed drive for nation-building.

Goals and Policies

Now friends, I would now like to discuss with you some goals, strategies and policies for a major national mission to attain energy independence.

Energy Consumption Pattern in India in 2005: We have to critically look at the need for energy independence in different ways in its two major sectors: Electric power generation and transportation. At present, we have an installed capacity of about 121,000 MW of electricity, which is 3% of the world capacity. We also depend on oil to the extent of 114 million tonnes every year, 75% of which is imported and used almost entirely in the Transportation sector.

Forecasts of our energy requirements by 2030, when our population may touch 1.4 billion people, indicate that demand from the power sector will increase from the existing 120,000 MW to about 400,000 MW. This assumes an energy growth rate of 5% per annum.

Electric Power Generation Sector: Electric power generation in India now accesses four basic energy sources: Fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal; hydroelectricity; nuclear power; and renewable energy sources such as bio-fuels, solar, biomass, wind and ocean.

Fortunately for us, 89% of energy used for power generation today is indigeneous, from coal (56%), hydroelectricity (25%), nuclear power (3%) and renewable (5%). Solar energy segment contributes just 0.2% of our energy production.

Energy Independence in Electric Power Generation

Thus it would be seen that only 11% of electric power generation is dependent on oil and natural gas, which is mostly imported at enormous cost. Only 1% of oil is (about 2 to 3 million tonnes of oil) being used every year for producing electricity. However, power generation to the extent of 10% is dependent on high cost gas supplies. We are making efforts to access natural gas from other countries.

Now I shall discuss another fossil fuel, coal. Even though India has abundant quantities of coal, it is constrained to regional locations, high ash content, affecting the thermal efficiency of our power plants, and also there are environmental concerns. Thus, a movement towards energy independence would demand accelerated work in operationalising the production of energy from the coal sector through integrated gasification and combined cycle route. In 2030, the total energy requirement would be 400,000 MW. At that time, the power generated from coal-based power plants would increase from the existing 67,000 MW to 200,000 MW. This would demand significant build-up of thermal power stations and large-scale expansion of coalfields.

Changing Structure of Energy Sources: The strategic goals for energy independence by 2030 would thus call for a shift in the structure of energy sources. Firstly, fossil fuel imports need to be minimised and secure access to be ensured. Maximum hydro and nuclear power potential should be tapped. The most significant aspect, however, would be that the power generated through renewable energy technologies may target 20 to 25% against the present 5%. It would be evident that for true energy independence, a major shift in the structure of energy sources from fossil to renewable energy sources is mandated.

Solar farms
Solar energy in particular requires unique, massive applications in the agricultural sector, where farmers need electricity exclusively in the daytime. This could be the primary demand driver for solar energy. Our farmers demand for electric power today is significantly high to make solar energy economical in large scale.

Shortages of water, both for drinking and farming operations, can be met by large-scale seawater desalination and pumping inland using solar energy, supplemented by bio-fuels wherever necessary.
The current high capital costs of solar power stations can be reduced by gridlocked 100 MW sized Very Large Scale Solar Photovoltaic or Solar Thermal Power Stations. In the very near future, breakthroughs in nanotechnologies promise significant increase in solar cell efficiencies from current 15% values to over 50% levels. These would in turn reduce the cost of solar energy production. Our science laboratories should mount an Research & Development Programme for developing high efficiency CNT based Photo Voltaic Cells.

We thus need to embark on a major national programme in solar energy systems and technologies, for both large, centralised applications as well as small, decentralised requirements concurrently, for applications in both rural and urban areas.

Nuclear Energy
Nuclear power generation has been given a thrust by the use of uranium-based fuel. However, there would be a requirement for a 10-fold increase in nuclear power generation even to attain a reasonable degree of energy self-sufficiency for our country. Therefore, it is essential to pursue the development of nuclear power using thorium, reserves which are higher in the country. Technology development has to be accelerated for thorium-based reactors since the raw material for thorium is abundantly available in our country. Also, nuclear fusion research needs to be progressed with international cooperation to keep the option for meeting the large power requirement, at a time when fossil fuels get depleted.

Power through Municipal Waste

In the power generation sector of the energy economy, we need to fully use technologies now available for generating power from municipal waste. Today, two plants are operational in India, each plant generating 6.5 MW of electric power. Studies indicate that as much as 5800 MW of power can be generated by setting up 900 electric power plants spread over in different parts of the country, which can be fueled by municipal waste. Electric power generation and creation of clean environment are the twin advantages.

Power System Loss Reduction: Apart from generating power and running power stations efficiently without interruption, it is equally essential to transmit and distribute power with minimum loss. The loss of power in transmission and distribution in our country is currently in the region of 30 to 40% for a variety of reasons. Of about 1,000 billion units of electrical energy produced annually, only 600 billion units reach the consumer. This is the result of transmission loss and unaccounted loss. We need to take urgent action to bring down this loss to 15% from 30 to 40% by close monitoring of losses, improving efficiency and increasing the power factor through modern technology. By this one action alone, we will be able to avoid the need for additional investment of around Rs 70,000 crore for establishing additional generating capacity.

Transportation Sector

The Transportation sector is the fastest growing energy consumer. It now consumes nearly 112 million tonnes of oil annually, and is critically important for our nation's economy and security. The complete substitution of oil imports for the Transportation sectors is the biggest and toughest challenge for India.

Use of biofuels: We have nearly 60 million hectares of wasteland, of which 30 million hectares are available for energy plantations like 'Jatropha'. Once grown, the crop has a life of 50 years. Each acre will produce about 2 tonnes of bio-diesel at about Rs 20 per litre. Biodiesel is carbon neutral and many valuable by-products flow from this agro-industry. Intensive research is needed to burn bio-fuel in internal combustion engines with high efficiency and this needs to be an urgent R&D programme. India has the potential to produce nearly 60 million tones of bio-fuel annually, thus making a significant and important contribution to the goal of energy independence.
The Indian Railways have already taken a significant step of running two passenger locomotives (Thanjavur to Nagore section) and six trains of diesel multiple units (Tiruchirapalli to Lalgudi, Dindigul and Karur sections) with a 5% blend of bio-fuel sourced from its in-house esterification plants. In addition, they have planted 75 lakh Jatropha saplings on railway land, which is expected to give yields from the current year onwards. This is a pioneering example for many other organisations to follow. Similarly, many states in our country have energy plantations. What is needed is a full economic chain from farming, harvesting, extraction to esterification, blending and marketing. Apart from employment generation, bio-fuel has a significant potential to lead our country towards energy independence.

The other critical options are development of electric vehicles; hydrogen based vehicles, electrification of railways and urban mass transportation.

Conclusion

By 2020, the nation should achieve comprehensive energy security through enhancement of our oil and gas exploration and production worldwide. By the year 2030, India should achieve energy independence through solar power and other forms of renewable energy; maximise the utilisation of hydro and nuclear power and enhance bio-fuel production through large-scale energy plantations like Jatropha.

We need to evolve a comprehensive renewable energy policy for energy independence within a year. This should address all issues relating to generation of energy through wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and ocean. The nation should also work towards establishment of thorium-based reactors. Research and technology development of thorium-based reactors is one of the immediate requirements for realising self-reliance in nuclear power generation and long-term energy security for the nation.

We should operationalize a 500 MW capacity power plant using integrated gasification and combined cycle route within the next three years from the existing pilot plant stage.
Bio-fuel research should be extended in collaboration with R&D laboratories, academic institutions and automobile industry to make it a 'full fledged fuel' for fleet running in the country in a time bound manner. This should lead to a mission mode integrated programme encompassing various ministries and industries. Also, there is a need to formulate a comprehensive bio-fuel policy from research, development, and production to marketing.

Energy security leading to energy independence is certainly possible and is within the capability of the nation. India has knowledge and natural resources; what we need is planned integrated missions to achieve the target in a time bound manner. Let us all work for self-sufficient environment friendly energy independence for the nation.

Jai Hind.May God bless you all.
