In the first box, two guards are trying to pull a MP out of his chair and the title says, “Separating the MPs post from…”.

In the first box titled, “Vision 1991”, there is a proportionately large P V Narasimha Rao and on his shoulders a smaller, kurta payjama clad Manmohan Singh is standing, holding a flag that says, “Economic Reforms”. In the next box titled, “Vision 2006”, a proportionately smaller, kurta payjama clad Manmohan Singh is there and on his shoulder a much larger, achkan clad Manmohan Singh is standing, who is a bit wobbly and is holding a placard that says, “Foreign Policy”.

There is a politician standing on a stool. He is scared and sweating. His one hand is stuck in a jar. The jar has a few cookies and a spider ready to bite. In the background is Parliament House and a Doctor, followed by a nurse are rushing out ready to give medical aid. The doctor is saying, “Oh! These sting operations…”.

At EnableAll, they are encouraging the internal team to start a blog (I guess not enough community members are starting their blogs, hence the pressure tactics on us!).

Hi all. It is a great feeling to have access to a platform to express myself on EnableAll.

I remember how it all started a few decades ago. I was still in school and it was a priviledge to have used a BBC Micro Computer there. BBC Micros were the PC in those days that required floppy discs to start up. Today, access to a PC is a given. It is assumed that every person you meet does have an email ID. Wow.

Could our parents and grand parents ever think about such access to information? I think owning a telephone was a sign of affluence. Today having an email ID is normal.

I sometimes get too emotional about technology. I have seen the snail paced PC to Pentiums and Celerons. I have experienced high speed dial-up internet connections from 28.8 kbps (pun intended) to broadband connections. I have worked in places where even getting to a telephone means having to walk for a couple of kilometers to having worked in organizations that have a dedicated leased lines for internet access.
