And Then

Thoughts Began To Fly

An Affair with Night

Published by Aakarsh under on Saturday, March 25, 2006

The Night is Breathing its last.
Stranded streets, desolated clouds,
soundless skies and my own room...
Blotches of silence have descended everywhere.
The poisonous silence of this night,
has drunk the remains of the chaotic day,
and the night is breathing its last.
Amidst all the longing, in these last moments,
Bequeath it with your husky whisper,
and relieve it from the suffering for tonight.


Epilogue:

The night flamed a cold breath in her soul...
Before going away, the night took me closer,
and placed her cold lips on mine,
to kiss out the breath of her soul...
bequeathing it unto my warm lips,

she retreated away.
its an addiction i have got these days...
- to taste the life of every day.
- to drink the poison of every night.

My Spirit.

Its good to be Free...


Like an endless thought... i fly,

into the lap of every sky,

which beckons me...

aah! its so good to be free...

Brain Drain

Published by Aakarsh under on Saturday, March 11, 2006

In 1998, the renowned Indian Institute of Technology sent 30 percent of all of its graduates to the U.S., including 80 percent of its computer science graduates. Indian Govt. spends over Rs.10Lakhs on each IIT graduate, during his IIT stint.
Much of the R&D in India goes to service research projects of only Imperialistic Countries.
The number of students flying to USA have increased double-fold in 1990s, compared to 1980s. A meaty chunk of this population have secured H1-B visas (working visas) and later on "GREEN CARDS" and are serving USA.
As on March 2001, more than a million Indian-born individuals were residing in the United States — more than double since 1990.
According to UNDP 2001, of the 81,000 U.S. visas approved between October 1999 and 2000, 40 percent were for Indians, of whom more than half were computer-related professionals, a sixth for sciences and engineering.

In 2001, the net fiscal loss associated with the U.S. Indian-born resident population ranges from 0.24% to 0.58% of its GDP.
The United Nations reports that India loses $ 2 billion a year in resources through the brain-drain of 100,000 skilled computer professionals to US alone.
When will this end?How?
