  • whether Dr.Manmohan Singh is right to say that "like Caesar's wife Prime Minister should be above suspicision?

    “Caesar’s WIFE MUST BE ABOVE SUSPICION”

    Dr. Manmohan Singh in his SHREWD speech at Congress Plenary conclave asserted that “like Caesar’s WIFE, the PRIME MINISTER should be above suspicion”.

    Well said – but basic doubt is whether the person who drafted the speech [self defeating] really read and understood the FICTION of 1st century BC which gave raise to a PROVERB.

    In the FICTION Pompeia Sulla 2nd WIFE of Julius CAESAR is the daughter of Roman DICTATOR Lucius. 2nd WIFE of CAESAR is depicted as “EMPTY HEADED” woman. CAESAR marries her for POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY [not out of love and affection].

    In the fiction a young man PUBLIUS CLODIUS PULCHER managed admittance at Via Sacra [Caesar’s residence] during Bona Dea festival where no man was permitted.

    CAESAR gave no evidence in the seduction case, but Caesar DIVERCED Pompeia Sulla – this gave raise to a proverb “Caesar’s wife must be above suspicion”.

    Honorable Supreme Court seriously commented on Prime Minister’s inaction – It is also a fact that Prime Minister has failed to act as per CONSTITUTIONAL provision on 2G spectrum allocation even after several complaints both to PMO as well as in Parliament. Even in selection of Cabinet Ministers power Lobbyist played a major role which defeated Prime Minister’s authority. Naturally entire country has suspicion. Prime Minister cannot shake off his responsibility on the issue of corruption. "If corruption is happening under His nose and if he is not doing anything, then he is a participant in it."

    Will Dr. Manmohan Singh be like Caesar’s wife – above suspicion as asserted.

  • INDIAN SCIENTISTS PRIDE–CHEAP WATER AND ELECTRICITY FROM SEA WATER -unique transportation?

    Low Temperature Thermal Desalination (LTTD) and Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) innovative technologies (difference between surface water and the water at a depth of 200 metres – perhaps season like monsoon, winter, cyclone will not hinter the production) developed by NIOT will answer to Global demand for in-expensive Electricity Power/energy and drinking water – even after half a billion investment -- product COST IS LESS THEN 10 (TEN) paise (equal 0.25 [zero point two five] US cents) – real magic.

    Platform at 20 to 30 KMS deep into the sea just like Bombay High Oil Platform will be costing about Rs.200 Crores (about 500 million US dollars). Desalinated water will be filled into water bags with carrying capacity of 20 lakhs litres.

    Effective and cheap mode of cheap transportation:

    Since density of pure water is less than that of seawater, the Bags with 20 lakhs litres of desalinated water will stay afloat and easy to tow the bags to the shore by boat. LTTD is better than desalination using the Reverse Osmosis technology. Regarding transmission of electricity from 30 kms. From deep sea-to-sea shore is not at all an issue. All these need to be seen only when production is started!

  • CHEAP DRINKING WATER ELECTRICITY from MID-SEA - tech - LTTD & OTEC by NIOT Chennai.-Comml viability?

    Will this be commercially viable? How many other Countries venture on these types of research?

    Low Temperature Thermal Desalination (LTTD) and Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) innovative technologies developed by premier Indian Research Institution NIOT will answer to Global demand for in-expensive Electricity Power/energy and drinking water. With this technology Hydrocarbon consumption will come down drastically.

    NIOT successfully demonstrated OTEC project and generated electricity with the technology based on the difference between surface water and the water at a depth of 200 metres.

    Barge (100M x 20M) used for OTEC project will be used as platform erected 20-30 KM from seashore. This Platform (just like Bombay High Oil Platform will be costing about Rs.200 Crores (about 500 billion US dollars). Desalinated water will be filled into water bags (made of synthetic materials) with carrying capacity of 20 lakhs litres.

  • CHENNAI IRR AND MRTS (phase III) is now progressing - can any one knows where Puzhuthivakkam will be located.

    It is understood that as per MRTS guidelines, MRTS stations will be located at a distance of 1.2KM - Length of Station will be around 300M and width will be 30M (300x30M). If we take width of IRR(20M) it will be about 50M. -- Because of overhead Power Line MRTS Line will run from 5KM to 4.2KM in the surface (Land) - thjereafter it is understood that MRTS Line will be elevated. CMDA & TN govt. also have in principle proposal to utilise open air space of about 2,00,000 sq.M for commercial purpose. -- it is expected that rail ramp will run about 1.1 KM to reach highest level. MRTS train will have initially 6 coaches and then it will be increased to 9 coaches.- to carry around 90,000 passenger per hour. if we calculate, the station is likely to at 3000KM from Mount) 2000M away from Velachery. -- can anyone find out and tell the exact location of Puzhuthivakkam MRTS Station. CMDA have CITZEN QUARUM - PUBLIC HEARING (for hearing/redressal of grievances).they can be approached.
