2020 - Will INDIA become a SUPER power by 2020 ?

I was reading India 2020: a Vision for the New Millennium by Kalam.

His ideas and suggestions for a better India are inspiring.

But given the state of affairs in the home land, achieving greatness in the next 13 years looks like a distant dream.

The poor are getting poorer, while the rich is getting richer day by day. Basic amenities are a rarity.

Farmers are dying everyday. Gap between literates and illiterates are increasing.

Though satellite TVs and cellphones are spreading faster than a forest fire, water scarcity is equally prevalent.

The growth in stock index and increase in foreign reserves does provide a positive sense. But, urban growth is not sufficient to claim the super power rank.

So, question of the hour is: Do you think India will become a super power by 2020? Will it atleast get better and be able to ensure that its citizens sleep everyday with a full stomach? OR Is our government and its leaders portraying just a mirage and will she get worse by 2020?

Is Snoop Dogg living right?

Like him or not, Snoop Dogg is a big favourite for many folks out there.
Though I personally don't like all his music, I do like a few of his peppy numbers.

Having reached great heights in the music world, he has become a mentor and a positive example for many people in his community.

His arrest yesterday is the 3rd arrest in the past few months. This time its for possessing a gun and cocaine and marijuana.

Is Snoop setting a bad example for his fellow people? Is he living right?
what say you?

Should Abdul Kalam continue a 2nd term as President of India?

The hot debate in most places these days is about the choice for the next president.
Kalam himself prefers to get into teaching, while each political party has its own agenda for its own reasons.

What is your take on this issue? If you vote NO, let us know who you think could be a better choice.
