Karnataka Politics
If you have been following up on the political developments in Karnataka, it won't take long to figure out how immature and undignified politics is in Karnataka (could be extended to the entire country in my opinion).
We have a Chief Minister who is guided by the ex-PM (Why a person who has occupied the PM position goes down to this level is beyond my grasp). Most politicians across all parties either have a criminal record or they have been accused in the past. They have no skills or education whatsoever in administration of state/people. Youngsters like us on the other hand don't care, can't be bothered to enter politics and will not get involved.
The world sees a developing economy at a rate greater than 8%. The reality is that the standard of life, the core principles of living and the adoption of the Gandhian ideologies are at a level so ugly that I just can't think of any words to describe them.
There is no way this is going to change for the better in my lifetime...

Time to be practical?
I read this article on how an astronaut is trying to gather information on how to pray in space.
While I am considerate towards religious sentiments and I believe that every individual has the right to follow his/her religious beliefs and practices, surely, in examples like these, these people have duties towards their countries and the taxpayers who have financed their journey to the rim of our planet and beyond.
One then needs to ask if a line should be drawn somewhere that recognizes the religious sentiments but at the same expects followers to be practical and not to waste much time on such "details".
