The Wall

So, I was not feeling like penning down anything, though I had a huge backlog of thoughts.... I guess most of us are like that....We think alot, about relevant & irrelevant things, things that make sense & things that are utter non-sense, I mean you name it & people think about it....However, many of them continue to deny it as to what they think...
Anyways, my fights with the Government continue to reach dizzying heights. I have my own set of ideas & suggestions which continue to either get bulldozed by the administrative set up or lost in the labyrinth of their hierarchies....Till the time I joined a job, I did not know an entity called and "IAS" or as they say in North India " Bhartiya Prashasnik Sewa". It was only when my work entailed me to them too often that I realized that they hold the strings of Policy making. They are India's smartest men/women at work. Their red light vehicles, their palatial houses, their huge office premises, the secretaries, the additional commissioner, the batches, the CEOs, the transfers, ...It took me sometime to grasp all these terminologies. Their brilliance sometimes crowded by arrogance. it is not their fault, they are made to feel that way. They anyways have to buckle before ministers. but barring a few embarrassing moments, they are generally on their own. My limited interaction with them has taught me to treat them as special as possible.
They are not willing to listen to some of the ideas in Urban Development financings, that me & my colleagues are trying to inform them about. The people from print media are born with their own idiosyncrasies. Once a fortnight, they will come out with crazy ideas on Urban Financing through the Tax free route. I have been crying hoarse to all States & Urban Development agencies to not consider it as a financing options. True, that they are a cost effective way to finance, but when you take a look at the marketability aspect & the approval process, you begin to ask yourself a very serious question as to if the Taxable route is more preferable than to go through the mental agony. Both the administrative set up and the media are totally oblivious to the market realities. Being in the market, though with limited experience, I know that I have a better feel. I have lost count of the number of times I have met ministers, faxed letters of appointment and discussed at length the problems in Urban Financing with relevant IAS officials. But who is listening???
There is not one problem that plagues Urban Development. Though I have written at length on this subject on a professional capacity. There are governance issues, there are issues to recording of financial transactions, there are regional disparities and more importantly there are issues with respect to initiative. The problem looks more glaring now because of the sudden explosion of demand for houses & automobiles. Infact there are few young chaps in Urban Development sector. I dont know man, but it really concerns me of how we are going to see through this problem
