Political Reforms

Since past few days mercury level of political arena is on the way of touching a new height with the on going political war of leaders of North India especially of the Bihar with the young Maharshtrian leader Raj Thakre. If we look at the root cause for all these unpleasant happening we are bound to end with political desire of proving the regional supremacy of self over the others.

In fact this regionalism is seeded with our constitution though I am not a constitution expert but surely an Indian with a little bit of wisdom to take the measures of the situations. At the time of independence country was divided into state on the bases of language and unfortunately during these over 60 years of post independence we fail to develop attitude of being Indian still we are Punjabi, Gujarati, Bihari, Rajathani, Maharashtrian or North Indians and south Indians. As we are living in the democratic setup and it is most suited for the political parties to have small but very strong supportive vote banks hence political leadership of the country has preferred to work for keeping the regional identity intact instead of developing attitude and affection for the national identity among the generations of post independence era.

This is always said that there is a silver lining in the dark clouds. In fact this ongoing political dispute is that silver line which must be utilised for initiating the script writing for the much needed political reforms. On my experiences as the common citizen I am putting up some reforms.

Constitutional

There will be no states in the country, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari whole land will be a nation. This is sure that an opposing argument will be based on difficulties at administrative levels but this can be solved with making provision of increasing the powers of local bodies at the city / village levels and increasing the number of members of Lok Sabha there must be a representative of every five Lakh voters in the dense population areas and for three Lakh voters in the areas of dispersed population.

As there is provision of development funds for every Member of Parliament so this can be made compulsory for all the political parties to face the elections with their proposed development plan for every constituency by utilizing this fund. Winning party which fails to complete less than 80% of proposed development will not be entitled for fighting election from that constituency in the next election.

People often complains and there is truth in it to considerable extant, that MP or MLA of the area has not worked for the all round and equal development in the constituency and has utilized most of the funds for providing facilities to specific area of the constituency. To avoid this I am suggesting change in method of declaring winner of election, instead of present total number of popularity votes, candidate who stood first on the list of popularity votes at 70% of total pooling booths will be declared winner. This might rarely happens that a candidate might get higher votes but as that candidate fails to gets first position at 70% of total pooling booths so this candidate will not be the winner.

There is another way also in which every pooling booth will be converted into single vote and candidate standing first and second will get it. For illustration suppose in a constituency there are 500 pooling booths so a candidate will be entitled for getting maximum 1000 votes and any candidate getting 700 votes should be declared winner. For getting pooling both vote this will essential for the candidate to get at least 20% of total votes. [If 1000 people have voted at least 200 must have voted for that candidate]

Any member of Parliament changing party six months prior to election will not be entitled for fighting the forth coming election on the ticket of newly joined party and will have to wait till next election for being a candidate from the same constituency.

Political parties failing to win 10% of total seats will loose their registration with election commission and their candidates who had won that election will have to join any other party within 30 days of such action.

Political leaders will not be entitled for accepting any gift / donation either from common citizen or from any commercial establishment for self or for party.

Political parties will get election fund equivalent to 5% of aggregate of development fund received by their Members of Parliament.

Candidate are allowed to make maximum election expanses at the rate of Rs. 5/- [Five] per voter and has to submit details of proposed expanses while filling the election forms. Election commission will give Rs. 1 Lakh to every candidate who keeps total election expenses within Rs. 10 Lakh and gets Rs. 1 Lakh from the party election fund.

For registering a party with election commission, which can be done one year prior of next scheduled elections, this will be mandatory to have endorsement from at least 15 present or past members of Parliament who are entitled for fighting election and give written commitment of fighting next election as party candidate of this new political party. Election commission will charge Rs. 30,000/- for registering a political party.

In the case of death / disqualification of a member, instead of holding fresh elections, candidate stood second in the previous election will become member for rest of the term. This rule is applicable only if the time for the next scheduled election is higher than six months, other wise party president will look after the developmental works of the constituency without having voting rights or right of participation in the parliament functioning.

No politician will be entitled for fighting more than five elections irrespective of wining or loosing the election and this will be inclusive of the elections at the city / Village level.

Independent candidates will not be allowed to fight elections for the Lok Sabha, however their participation will be allowed in the city / Village level elections. Here also provision should be made for providing development fund and pre election announcement of development plan by the candidates at the city / village levels.

Rajya Shabha will not exist. President of India will have right of appointing 20 members for Lok sabha but these appointment member will not be entitled for becoming a minister in the government and eventually function as independent candidate.

There will be no reservation in any field on any bases and there will be only one set of laws for all the Indians, irrespective of their caste, religion or region of living. Using a word indicating caste or religion of any citizen will be a punishable crime.

This is common observation that these days working of Parliament House gets hurdles or withheld for this or that reasons hence to avoid this, provision should be made that members must get allowance on the bases of working hours of the house instead of present one which is based on the number of days.

This is also observed that certain politicians are enjoying same portfolio in the ministry for several terms which often leads creation of non satisfaction and irregular [region wise] development works by that ministry. Provision should be made that no politicians should be allowed same ministry for more than three years in the entire political career. However post of Prime Minister & Finance Minister will be free from this restriction.

In the case of ruling party don’t have any member matching with eligibility criteria for the Finance Minister, can appoint any suitable candidate. In that case one member of the party will have to resign from the membership of Parliament and person appointed as finance minister will be treated as representative for the constituency of resigning member.

Baring the Prime Minister, all the ministers and Members of Parliaments will be entitled for 3BHK flat in multistoried building for their residential purpose in Delhi on rental basis. The rent will not be in excess of 20% of salary and allowances and will be deducted at source. All the members have to vacant this flat one month prior of the elections and have to submit such certificate to election officials if fighting elections.

As in the present era politics is no more act of social service and being member of Parliament involves more than adequate economic gains hence if any member needs a security will have to pay for this.

Eligibility Criteria

This is most strange and truly fascinating fact about our country that for being selected to post of forth grade employee say peon one needs to have a minimum educational qualification equivalent of 10 years of school education but for being a politician, representative of millions and nation’s police maker you are free from such obligations. We are often complaining about lowering of moral behavior by the politicians but never put stress for combining the educational qualification with the essentials of political leadership. As at the time of independence educational levels in our country were lower in the true sense but during these 60 years we had marched miles and miles ahead on the road of increasing educational levels hence this is most appropriate time to make certain essential educational levels for fighting elections. My proposed educational eligibility criteria is

For Village Level Elections: Minimum 8 years of school education
For City Level Elections: Minimum 12 years of school education
For Being Member of Parliament: A degree or professional diploma
For Being Minister: Post Graduation
For Finance Minister: Economics Post Graduate or CEO of a corporate house with five years experience.
For Defense Minister: Retired armed force personal of rank of Major and above or IPS personal of equivalent post.
For Prime Minister: Minimum one year’s experience of being a minister is desirable but not essential.

The most and all important eligibility criteria for being entitled as a candidate in any election, person must not have any past criminal record and at any time of election process should not be in prison even due to political reasons.

To Young Indians

I know my most of proposals will be out rightly rejected by majority of the present political leadership of the country, but frankly speaking I had not written a single word for them, all this is about a hard to achieve challenge for younger Indian generation and written for the purpose of awakening them. Once I had read a meaningful and inspiring thought “Be the change you want to see”. I wish to further ahead of this that this is always the younger generations which are willing for change and have the energy sources essential for bringing the change. I wish to say identify your energy potential and instead of using this for destructive works by playing at the hands of politicians, be politicians, utilize these huge energy channels you have for making self and every citizen of country, an Indian in true sense. Do remember old aged persons can only suggest directions for the action but can’t initiate an action this is the reasonability of youth to act and bring a desirable change.

Script of political reforms

 There are many voices in the air about the Raj Thakery episode being the scripted one. Whatever it may be but to me all this was the platform underlining and stressing the need of much needed political reforms for the country.

 If you ask my personal views over the Raj Thakery episode all this was making of hero. Raj was not different from other political leaders to great extend, the important and underlining difference lies with the Raj’s attitude of being publicly vocal expressive and holding a straight forward approach for a disputed issue.  In fact Raj is in the trouble clouds only for being expressive otherwise he is handling the situations in manner in which might any other politician has handled. There are clouds of suspicious over episode of arrest and getting bail, just because this is hard to digest and understand for the champion politicians of country how Raj succeeded in gaining such huge political importance and popularity from this episode. 

 During and as post effect of this episode, public properties worth of several lakh rupees has been destroyed, routine life was kidnapped with creating hurdles for trains, buses and other modes of transportation. Several people were arrested for disturbing day to day life of masses and attempting to destroy national property. This is not a uncommon scene in our country, over the decades all the unrest and anger always results in destruction of national property and withholding the routine life. The most interesting thing about these agitations is that police register cases and in the court most of accused are set free due to lack of evidence or fined with nominal economic punishment. This underlines how the laws of land are inadequate for preventing people from destroying public properties. In the modern times help of technology can prove a great help, during this episode news channels have shown video clips in which many people were shown destroying public properties, keep this apart to which section of Indian society they belong and for what purpose they were protesting, surely they are not with rights of destroying public properties and video clipping are most decisive evidence. To avoid this a law must be introduced making it obligatory for television news channels to hand over such clipping to police authorities of the area, who on basis of this must arrest the guilty persons who on the evidence of this video clipping should be send for imprisonment for a period of two years. I am sure if this law is implemented and if just 10-20 peoples are sent to jail without any case in the court if not hundred percentage surely a considerable chunk of public properties can be saved during the agitations which start in peaceful manner and most of times end with violent ones. 

 As this introduction is prolonged so I will be coming with political reforms I have in mind as separate blog post.
Do visit any of following links for our Diwali Greetings to all of you.

Scripted Protest

 Surly many of you will agree with me, that during past few days a few Hindi News television channels have dedicated significant time slot for discussing live in relations this happen because congress party lead Maharashtra government recommended this, otherwise in our country still a discussion on a sex related topic is treated as social taboo by a considerable large population.
 The question is that why it become essential for government to make legal provision for the Live in relation? Will this law be capable of solving the problem or this going to be proved yet another weapon to use as tool for harassment? First of all let us look at situations which are underlining the need of recognition for Live in relations especially when we are living in a country, which since the ancient times has historic tradition for Gandharva Vivah a marriage without celebrations and rituals and even the Niyog [Woman seeking temporary sex relations for the pregnancy with the consent of her husband who being physically handicap to perform his part in the process of birth of children] was not looked as the action to be reason for hate and social isolation.  
 The most significant and very distinctly known characteristic of time is its changing nature and forcing surroundings to cope with these changes. In the most parts of globes among the human population this is universal understanding and accepted fact that for becoming successful one need to be master in coping with and able to sustain changes generated by the time. Since the time of independence, in these sixty odd years our country has successfully tackled the changes posed by the time.
 In the time of sixty years of post independence, Indian women’s journey has covered miles and miles and presently she is marching shoulder to shoulder with her opposite sex partner on every walk of life. Today in the Indian cities and even in villages, baring some remote area of the country, women are coming out from the boundary walls of the home for the education and for the jobs, hence the interaction between the two human sexes is increasing at very vigorous rate, here by interaction I don’t mean necessarily about the lustful behavior, but surely also don’t deny the increased chances for the existence of physical relations between duo. In these situations Live in relations start to appear on the social platform because in our country bigamy is taken as breach of law. In most of the cases woman is on the side suffering most because still our society is male dominating one and all the blames become the share of woman.
 People opposing this recognition of Live in relations are taking this as bypass for the bigamy law and an effort to destroy several centuries old Indian tradition of marriage and family. On the other side supporters are arguing this as woman protecting law and essential for keeping the social environment having certain moral norms.
 I have started this with television channels and concluding with one more news of the television channels and this is related with one of reality show Bigg Boss. News reports lodging of F.I.R. against the show for spreading vulgarity. The amazing facts about this complain is that it is lodged by the President of Youth branch of the political party, which is supporting recognition to live in relations. Frankly speaking I am unable to write the script properly, on the moral ground which is more harmful for our social life, telecasting swim suit scenes and leg massage of girl by a boy or giving by law recognition to live in relations.

Scripted Retirement

 This is my second blog in the “Scripted” series, I believe you all will enjoy this and Waheguru will bless me for keeping this series in continuation.

 Script and Indians are very closely related as our script, what is more popularly called “Destiny”   become functional even before our birth on the earth and creates several challenges and problems for facing in a scripted manner.

 Indo- Australia test match series is on and in this cricketing land all eyes, from game lovers to selectors, officials of the game to politicians and even the international cricketing scenario is aiming only at the performance of “Prince of Kolkatta”  just because Dada already announcement his retirement from the cricket of international level, this series is going to be last opportunity for this great fighter of the game and most successful Indian captain to be representative of motherland on the cricketing field.

 There are many talks about the retirement of some senior players from the Indian Cricket team and most people don’t hesitate to say that Sourav Ganguli is the first victim of the policies of BCCI in this regard. Some television news channels have projected this retirement announcement as the scripted retirement under sweet name of “Golden Hand Shake”.  There seems to be ample space available for this suspicious happening being a scripted retirement as just 15 days prior to retirement Gaungli was confident of at least two years cricket left with him.

 If the retirement of Bengal Tiger is scripted one than surely the script for this start functioning since the Indian tour to Zimbabwe with the dispute between captain and officials. What more can be said about this script, at one time, one of official was reported for saying Ganguli will not be part of Indian team till he is in the selection committee. Country has witness a huge controversy on this issue and finally this great fighter was reselected into Indian squad though not in Captain’s capacity.  Things doesn’t stopped here he was kept under such a constant pressure that even though he was getting runs but his confidence and killing attitude, which has made him most successful Indian captain of the history, was missing altogether. All this resulted in making Dada isolated and concentrated within self and look India has suffer all this in the formation of two groups senior and younger in the team. Fortunately or unfortunately meanwhile India went on to win the inaugural Twenty-20 World cup in absence of these five senior players and this almost closed the doors of ODI for these masters of the game. Here I would like to mention that this will be more appropriate to say Pakistan last the match rather than India won. Destiny was on the side of India and was forcing Pakistani players for committing unforced errors. While I am writing this, there is news quoting Ganguli that he was intended to be in the team on his own merits and not on the mercy of others [selectors] and continuously on going humiliating treatment which he was receiving has forced him to announce retirement.

 Whatever may be it a scripted or normal retirement but one thing is sure tigers are always path creators and leaders and this great fighting cricketer sourav was, is and will remain known as Bengal tiger. This is certain  that retirement announcement of Dada is going to prove a mile stone in the Indian cricket and will prove path indicator for the players for whom age has and will start playing role of all important hurdle.

 Time will surly salute Dada for the cricketing skills and making the Indian squad who not only capable of winning the game but successfully takes the war on the fields of opponent and dare to response off ground tactics in the language used by the opponent.

Scripted Blogging

 Surely the title of this blog post will look amazing for many but those are well versed with history of blogging at ibibo will agree with me that in the initial days of the site blogging here was truly scripted blogging because in those days nothing was more meaningful than the number of blog post and there were awards for this can any one suggest any other good name in comparison to title of this blog post for that type of blogging, hence the key of success for ibibo is scripted blogging.

 You might be wondering what I am going to write in this blog post so let may make it clear that word “Scripted” catches my mind a few days back when one of leading television news channel put a question mark on the reality of ongoing reality show “Big Boss” with clipping in which one of participant was talking about script, but in fact this word “Script” started dominating my cerebral cortex since last day from my timing of watching “Lake Placid” an English movie as since that time I was thinking about the difference of Hollywood and Bollywood movies and concluded with that it is the well written script, which never goes beyond the frame of story line is what that makes Hollywood movies much interesting and worth to watch.

 Coming back to reality shows of television, this is most hot salable commodity of small screen of Indian homes. Almost every entertainment channel of Indian television industry is telecasting one or more reality shows and earning very handsomely as besides the advertisements and sponsors, participation of viewers through SMS ads in multiple to earnings of producer and channel. This is all the way a TRP oriented presentation of channel for instant look at this same “Big Boss” there is a rule that during the stay at home participants will not be allowed to interact with any one from the outer world but a few happenings puts question mark on this because at some times participants are informed about the availability of material related to given task in the garden area for instant blowing balloons with helium gas, certainly a group of people is required to place this material and when this happens in day time than there is  a very high chance of interaction between the group and participants.   

 Another happening, reentry of Raja Choudhary to house, after he had spend three days in isolation at secret room watching the activities of the other participants provides space for the doubt about the show being the scripted one, as this gives upper hand to Raja over other participants. The argument which might be given in favor of this happening is “reentrance of Kashmira in the previous version of the show” but that was totally different situation as Kashmira was no more participant for the show, she was not with rights of nominating any one for evacuation and most importantly her stay at home was as of guest. Here though Raja and other participants were kept unaware of fact that there were no SMS procedure for that week but all this was done with keeping the TRP in the minds.

 In my views there is no harm is such tactics because after all the prime object of producing a program is earning the money so if by using these tactics the TRP of show goes higher and earnings of producers are increased what is harm in using these. This is duty of viewers to be assured about the reality of reality show because there is always possibility that a reality show might be scripted one.

 Here this must be kept in the mind script is nothing but is predefined chronically order of happening, as my script for this blog was to force my reader for reading this line.

Say No to Smoking

?Water flow under the bridges is speeding up and news world is regularly updates with some real interesting rumors and facts. This is a real fact that since last 2nd October India is among the select group of country where smoking at public places is punishable activity by the law of land.??

?Before I am come to express my views about, I feel it my moral duty to interact with my regular blog readers, you all know last about 50 days were of the hectic work schedule for me as I was over busy with renovation of www.thesindhuworld.com community portal of global Sindhis and launching of www.indiatravelfun.com  a website related with tourism of Incredible India. This is truly an encouraging happening for us that within 10 days of official launching our site www.indiatravelfun.com started to find place in Google search for the keywords like Bhodhgaya. Many of my e-friends know, this is my professional commitment to compile all the information available on our site in readable format and this work is among the most time consuming jobs hence I was unable to find time for my blog writing. This tedious work is over though 100 descriptive pages related with Famous forts and monuments of country are still to be added to site but this work will start towards mid of November and over next project www.magicofgoa.com will become functional towards the year end so for next about 3 months I am with leisure time and promise to update my blog at least 12 to 15 times in a month.

?Coming back to topic of this blog post ?Smoking?, various health reports of our country are indicative of about 2,800 deaths daily due to tobacco generated diseases including cancer of various vital body organs.? Probably this might be the encouraging reason for the central government for coming up with this law. People protesting this law are of the opinion that this is yet another blind following of developed countries like France, Germany and many other European countries. These people are arguing on the basis of known and accepted facts that in our country more that 80% of tobacco is consumed in the form of ?Khaini?, ?Gutaka? and ?Bidis? where as in the rest of world more than 90% of total tobacco consumption is in the form of ?Cigarettes? hence the situations in our country are completely different from rest of world, beside that higher villege population, lower education levels and less health awareness among common citizens will prove a huge hurdle for the practical implementation of this law and there are more chance for this law to providing yet another platform for corruption. Whatever the arguments may be given in favor or against of this law but this is a welcomed step as whatever may be the chances of successful implementation of this law, one thing is sure this law is going to discourage youth for going for smoking.

?As our news channels have tendency of over acting on any happening so this was not different. Some news channels have shown how the common people and even the employees from the Indian Police are violating this law, but no news channel registered complain against them, even though the channels were with the decisive evidence in the form of video footage. I wish to ask just one and simple question to all these news channels, Is this responsible journalism? Implementation of law of land doesn?t rests only with hands of administrative machinery of the country but this moral duty of every citizen to extend helping hands for the implementation of laws. Sorry to say but this attitude was completely non visible in the actions of country?s television news channels.

?Some other television news channels covered this issue with reactions of celebrities and among this most meaningful reaction came from Sharukh Khan, a known smoker film star and Youth Icon of country ?It was better to ban cigarette production or hang the smokers but we know we can?t do this because we are living in a democratic country?.?

?Surly this is hard to implement this law in a country where just for fun of evocating fumes from the mouth youth is getting attracted towards smoking. Baning of smoking on public place can be taken as interim step because presently government is not in mood of sustaining huge [about 40 thousand carore of rupees] revenue loss for the sack of public health. Political dilemma of country is also not favoring such harsh steps but surely this is within the reach of government to raise the duties on tobacco products to such levels that these products go beyond the reach of purchasing powers of common people. This additional generated revenue can be utilized for educating people about the health hazards of tobacco consumption.??

?Even the chronicle smokers will not deny ?Smoking is injurious for the health? so please next time say no to smoking, whether it is ban by law or not.

 Science says before the construction of our Solar system life was in existence in the form of sound and one line of Hindi film song goes like this “Naam Gum Jayega, Chehra Ye Badal Jayega, Meri Awaz Hi Pahchan Hai “ [Name will disappear, face will changed , my voice is my identification] .

friends

I am almost back to my normal routine life as since last 2-3 months I was busy with renovation of our website www.thesindhuworld.com deicated to Global Sindhi Community and developing concept of a website www.indiatravelfun.com related with incredible India tourism. We are going to launch this website on 27-09-2008  “World Tourism Day”.  You all will agree with me that after this long and stressful job, a vacation is must for me. So I will be joining all of you on regular basis from 1st October.

Today, when I opened my blog, almost after 15 days I observed this new look and from very instant look this format appeared more user friendly but few things are there

My August 2008 post are not in archive

for many blog articles posted in past I am getting message “Not Found”

gREAT POEM 5 STAR IS YOUR’S

I eventually don’t know the day from this new format is in use but believe these shortcommings will removed in near future.

We need the insight

  A few days back there was news about that Punekars feeling bad about some of commercial hoardings as according to them matter of these was prompting for an increase in vulgar thoughts in society especially the young generation will get a wrong message from such hoardings. The interesting thing of this hoarding was that it was not of product related with sexual behavior nor with fashion or glamour industry, in fact the hoarding was a commercial of use of the technology in day to day life the only objectionable [probable] thing was that creative team of that commercial has used a bedroom scene to convey what message they intended to give.  

  Are our thoughts about vulgarity started to restrict around the sex? Was the question which strikes simultaneously with my mind? Can’t we learn to take sex as the normal part of life instead of a social taboo?  If we look into ancient Indian life style sex was never in the prohibited areas of the society and even the unsolicited sexual emotions were finding ways of expression with the institutions like “Vaishali Ki Nagar Vadhu”. It all started about 600-700 years back with the attacks from the rulers of Middle East and Europe on India, when soldiers of these armed forces started to pick up Indian girls and women under the power of sword to satisfy their natural sexual urge. From here onwards system of curtain for Indian feminine was introduced in the society to protect them from the sexual assault and in fact this was the originating point for Indian society looking at sex as social taboo instead of part of normal day to day life.     

  We often claim, we are more civilized, more educated and more socialized over our parents, grand parents and their grand parents. Surely we are advanced in technological arena but we have to remember technology always progress on the circular paths and is bound to touch lowest point after reaching to peak. Mahabharat era was the peak of technology prior to us and after going through the downward journey, presently we are on the upward move of attaining technological excellence once again. As for as sex is concerned for our elders it was part of normal life, a natural physical want, which was too satisfied at appropriate time, hence no body was bothering or talking about it. Where as we look at sex as commodity and this is fact commodity urge is never satisfying urge of human life. Surely we need a insight for redefining our sexual behavior.

  I would like to end with for a person glass is half filled where as for some other the same glass is half empty. This is our vision which helps us to visualize the things, thoughts and objects and we need a healthier, more socialized and more versatile vision of looking for a batter social life.    

Blogging and ibibo

  I am sure many of old bloggers of ibibo will feel a pleasant surprise to read the title and this will not be less than their wondering and curiosity for not updating of my blog since quite long time. Precisely during the last 18 months, ever since the start of ibibo blogs, June 2008 was the first month when my blog was updated only once and previous post to that was also almost one month older. Before I come to my slowness let us have a look on ibibo blogs and a general lowering of blogging activities at ibibo during past few months. Recently at “Hall of fame” message board a comment from yet another old blogger, asking views about the lowering of blogging activities at ibibo.

Blogging less attention commodity:

  This is a fact that ibibo was started as the blogging platform for Indians but with the time and growth in user numbers administration went on paying less and lesser attention towards this main activity of the site and other activities like Q & A has started to become centre of attraction, soon the concept of online social networking started to be the point of central attention by the administration and as the natural result of all this blogging at ibibo started to slow down. Yet another fact is that various products and services offered by site, blogging is the most time consuming, as administration had never bothered about the development of wrong attitude of “reciprocal comments”. Here blogger have to devote time for good quality post but if he/she wishes to have comments on it from others, than must comment on others posts, it is also indicative of the fact that at ibibo, there is a very acute shortage of readers and unfortunately administration also fail to tackle this problem. As a result blogger who writes to get satisfaction from the readers comments were forced to visit blog posts of others, this is again a time consuming process. Considering all this many of those bloggers who writes for the mental satisfaction have shifted their blogs to other blogging sites, where no other activity is associated with blogging. This is one of the prime reasons of slowing of blogging activities at ibibo blogs.

  At present ibibo is intended to convert into a “Dating Site” from the social networking site at least once a while but frequently written blurbs of such attention are indicative for this. As the administration is ignoring them hence surely in near future the site will go on to become dating site and there will be no space for intellectual activities. This is yet another reason for the slow down of blogging activities at ibibo blogs.  On one side administration claims for being most trusted site and on the other site allowing user to keep there profile not updated for months and months. To check the attitude of ibibo users, I personally have started a dummy profile with no details but as this was projecting profile of young female so in the time of about 40 days I have about 100 friends for this profile. The most interesting thing is that all this happened only by accepting friendship request, I had never added any one as friend. This is yet another indication that ibibo is moving yet another step in direction of “Dating Site”.

  Surely what the shape things are intended to take, these are the dying moments for blogging at ibibo and this is natural life activities goes on the slower side as the death appears near.
