Thursday, April 12, 2007. BMIC - IT - economy linkage. Text of the posting made on a Yahoogroup in response to usual Socialisic rhetoric:.

http://muralidharrao.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 25, 2007. Text of the letter sent to the press:. Agricultural sector load is just a convenient scape-goat being used by the government agencies involved to mask their poor planning and management. If they are genuinely interested in solving the problems of the rural sector, there are good models there too worthy of emulation - like that of the Hukeri Co-op Society in our own Belgaum district.

Enter your search terms. Monday, November 13, 2006. Exchange with Mr L (through Bangalore-based ‘Hasiru Usiru’ Yahoo Group), 1st week Nov, ‘06. I was not at the talk, but was happy to note from your report (as cited below) a good account of what probably happened. Instead I am quite shocked that you feel "(T)he participation of an organization like Janaagraha in setting up and administering the regulatory mechanism" is what will help us tide over the crisis. Since when did Janaagraha represent me? Furthe...

Saturday, May 26, 2007. Text of the letter sent to the Times of India:. I refer to your editorial captioned 'Lesson in Languor' of the 24th. Now, as long as the government retains its gargantuan size, playing the role of an employer rather than as a facilitator for generating employment, the term 'government' will continue to be equated with sloth, inefficiency, corruption, in fact, everything negative.

Municipal water supply, the country over, is in a shambles. In such a scenario, when the bottling industry comes forward to make good quality water available right through the country, and at reasonable prices, it is fulfilling a desperate need. What is there if you have to pay for it? Would you rather pay the doctor's bills? Counter to NAPM call.

Health-careless: March 2008
http://health-careless.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Enter your search terms. Tuesday, March 18, 2008. Over the past fortnight, I have been noticing a massive ad campaign by ESI over press as well as TV making me wonder what new venture they are onto. Going by their past track record (refer letters below, addressed by me to the press), they can’t be up to much good. Just last evening, I was parked beside the ESI hospital in Indiranagar for a while. It looked as desolate as ever. What a colossal waste of public money! Posted by Muralidhar Rao at 5:40 AM.
