Nobel prize and Churu

wealth is what we inherit and income is related to salary.
it is very difficult for income to compete with wealth. For example, if a person from middle class has a land worth fifty lakhs then it is very difficult for another person to chase with a salary in thousands.

this concept is very relevant for those
1. who are ready to leave their houses after fighting, with parents, in search of informal employment.
2. who want to choose between a wealthy person and a salaried person in matters of marriage.

the situation is very clear in case of western countries where one must choose a wealthy option but then in India, we have to understand the dynamics in a very different perspective.
1.in India, there is huge corruption and salaried persons can earn a lot, which is not possible in western countries(like US). the sudden rise of the middle class since 1990 shows this phenomenon. Gini coefficient proves the fact.
2.our social values are tilted towards saving, we worship Laxmi, but in US people have consumeristic values and they spent a lot. As evident from the growth of wealth of Indian diaspora in US.
3. Indians value stability and care for land, gold and a government job. So for a salaried person, it is easy to access loan and store wealth. Due to the poor condition of informal sector all the loan is for overpaid government employees.


Angus Deaton got nobel prize for the concept which proved that wealth is the reason for inequality in developing countries. This concept is applicable for most of the developing world but Churu does not follow rules. Here I observe that salaried persons have gained much of wealth since 1990s and the wealthy Goldsmiths, shopkeepers, businessmen and many more are looking for loan from, the not so greedy, salaried persons.



this proves that one must never abandon wealth and if forced to go away then one should come back and for choosing spouse, salaried person is a better option.

also nobel prize in economics, it sucks....

marriage -- who did why

I have seen mountains moving. At one time it was very uncool to talk about it, but today almost everybody is in the game, so let's discuss the reasons.

we can go by two criteria i.e. stability and age.

stability-- those who are stable and earning have huge pressure from society. Society does so because marriages establish relations.

those who are not earning, require money from parents and with money comes the expectations of parents that they are getting older and needs an extra support mechanism or adventure in their lives.
similarly, the kids also wanted to change their routine of last few years.

age--
 after a certain age, there are two types of individuals i.e.
 those who are getting their needs(mostly sexual) fulfilled without marriage and others who could not get it.
   Clearly, those who could not, are in search of ways to fulfill their needs.

    Those who get it are either getting it in secret or in open. getting it secretly has psychological issues associated with morality (for rich), legal ( for middle class) and character (for poor).
But getting it openly carries issues like, when to seal the deal.

very rare are those who say --I got married because I wanted to raise boys so that they could beat my ankles in senescence.

men and women differences

except for biological differences, there is no other difference between a man and a woman.
For proving that
    we can take up many examples such as
1. we (i.e. men and women both) like money equally.
2. we need love, care, respect, etc equally.
3. we both appreciate painting, travelling, music, dressing, eating etc.


the differences we consider most of the time are due to many other reasons like
social strata -- men in lower strata are less educated than women at higher.
regional differences -- can women participate in combat -in America yes, in India no.
practice -- in the field of sports practice matters a lot as with rigorous work women can run more than men.


most of the differences like dressing, longer hair for women, higher intuition and poorer driving skills etc are a result of environment, society and history. As with the higher understanding of psychology, we can understand their causes.
So there is no need to think that
women are better organizers,
women are better at cooking or  at other household activities,
or women cannot work like men etc.

diwali ki safai and swacch bharat mission

on the one hand we have diwali ki safai in which we tend to break our back for cleaning our houses and showing greatest enthusiasm for cleanliness and on the other hand we have a clean india mission which is running at a snail's pace.
though it is evident that swacch bharat mission is mainly about public space and diwali's cleanliness is a private affair. But still we have to find reasons for our public space being so dirty.

some of the obvious reasons can be plastic, population pressure, etc but still there are suttle other factors like
1. urabn attitude which deals in minding own business.
2. missing cattles-- earlier almost every house or streets have cattle which can be fed with kitchen's waste.

3.  consumption pattern-- there was almost no waste because of behaviour of consuming till the end, for example, a cotton cloth was first worn by father then the son then it becomes grandson's bedsheet.

4. women were dedicated to household activities and have enough time to work for cleaning the house and surrounding with ease but nowadays both male and female have to work outside the house.

5. reduction in festivals-- diwali and other such festivals were occasions of inviting guests which is not the same in this era.

6. westernization -- our environment supports biodegradation unlike western colder countries so we follow the behaviour of spreading the things out so that heat of sunlight can work quickly. But now we are packing our garbage in plastic bags instead of sorting out them.

7. we do care for a clean place not for a dirty one. For example delhi metro is well maintained by riders. And our generation has inherited a poor environment.

8. migration has resulted in the centralization of policies and local people are left with no effective control over decision making.

9. british legecy which made us to respect power and not a human being. It works by giving less respect to sweepers than to a powerful person. so if a powerful person is doing something wrong then instead of opposing her we start following.


So the solution lies in understanding and respecting our culture so that courts don't have to intervene and ask pata-k mat chorna.

my idea

what if there is an app that connects service providers with those in need of maintenance.
here service providers can be plumbers, electricians, carpenters, tailer and few others. 
and we know that maintenance is required almost everywhere and within the regular interval. 
this app will create an ecosystem as created by uber, snapdeal, unacademy etc. that is, like uber provide taxi to travellers, snapdeal connect buyers with sellers, unacademy connect teachers with learners. Similarly this app will provide connectivity among skilled servers with those in need of these services. 
other benefits associated with it will be
1. employment generation, we know that there is too much requirement of skilled hands. 
2. skill development, as more and more colleges will take up the skilling courses against creating unemployable graduates. 
3. poor household and official maintenance lead to the depreciation of economic assets of our country, that can be saved.
4. the platforms will be created on mobiles and other technology-based platforms which are in consonance with government's policy of extension of technology-based services. 
5. the app will create a competitive environment by providing the pictorial feedback mechanism. this competition can be between this app and government's services providers such as, few individuals can order for cleaning the road, removing carcases from roadsides or fixing a running public tap.   
6. the app will create the ecosystem as envisaged by former president of India APJ Abdul Kalam and the greatest Mahatma Gandhi,  as it is a form of footloose industry and will serve on location-based technology i.e. if required in a remote area the app can provide car mechanic in Ladakh or rann of Kutch, also if available.
7. the other significant features that can be associated with it like security during service, ratings of service providers and much more. 
8. the major challenges that can be considered are .....haha I don't know this is a cruel world. 

spending few days at home forced me to think for a better way of getting things done because it is very difficult to find skilled people for a lazy person like me. 
fun fact

Female participation rates declined from 34 percent in 1999-00 to 27 percent in 2011-12 in India.
