Nuclear quagmire..

India is heading straight to the nuclear quagmire and appears to be in a hurry. In its frantic rush to sign nuclear treaties left-right and centre, I guess it has lost direction and strategic vision. The much talked about J18 aggreements not only stacks the odds heavily against INDIA but also might be counter production to INDIA basic need to go in for such nuclear deals. Nothing is lost yet, if INDIA does push in for clear distinguishing CIVILIAN and NUCLEAR reactors and also reserve the right to maintian the list ( dynamically ). Unless the directions of nuclear energy is firmly planted, this would lead to another protracted issue which our Nation currently faces ( for not having dealt with earlier when we got Independence).

Chirac is currently touring INDIA and hope we strike some sanity to our Nuclear deals. Also, Singh is going to issue a suo moto tomorrow ( I think ) in both houses regarding the nuclear deal with the US. As of now the nuclear establishment is against such a move by INDIA.

Karnataka, is going backwards with it losing the FAB city project and with Infy planning to set up the largest campus in H'bad.( all this for some tax holiday). Can't understand why the IT sector still needs Tax holidays ( with all those stellar profits). Anyways, Infy had some problems with the govt of Karnataka ( and hence this move). Not good to Karnataka at all.

Apart from these, I had a pretty good weekend thus far. Had a good send off to OP and also shopped at Oxford street with Akhil. Got Suresh a Moto RAZR V3 ( hope he likes it), also shopped at Lillywhites. Here is the intersting bit, for a first time I saw a thief ( shop lifter) beingh chased by the security guards ( his ccomplice was caught ). He guy just ran ahead of us and for a moment I thought that I should have sopped him, but somehow didn't do it ( just not used to doing it I guess).

Saw Zinda ( a bit disturbing movie, apparently the south Korean version is worse) and kinda liked it. Enjoyed Pati..patni aur who with my flatmates later saturday night.

Hope you all have a very good weekend.
