Mobile Slums - Mumbai Local Trains
I made an entry with this title in mumbai local train orkut community.
All subsidies have to be removed in Mumbai for decongesting it.
Subsidies and incentives may be given in other cities to promote their development.
Even central and state governments should increase city compensatory allowance for their employees properly. The government knows the expense it incurs by keeping government employees in Mumbai. It will make efforts to shift people to other cities.
No subsidized kerosene in Mumbai.

Learning for IIT JEE 2010
I started a new blog
iit-jee-2010.blogspot.com
The blog will give a daily schedule of sections to be studied in chapter and examples and problems that are to be done for chemistry, mathematics and physics. The idea is to come out with a six month schedule during which all the problems and questions are attempted along with the lessons and examples within the lessons.
Then the aspirants can develop their own plan for revising and practicing so that they can recollect the material comfortably.

Knols by Nrao on Selling Process
I am capturing my understandng of various topics in management in articles on Knol. this knol writing is giving me an opportunity to reread the concerned texts, my notes, articles etc. I am revising the material first and then presenting it as an article that will be useful as revision material to managers and MBA grads.
I hope to develop them into full fledged articles that will be useful even to beginners probably in the next round of writing after an year or so. By that I hope to complete the round of writing revision focused articles.

Knol Posts - Focus of Industrial Engineering
I am now active on the knol platform. My present plan is to create a Reviewpedia for Management and Industrial Engineering on this platform.
Knol posts will be a complement to blogs that I have created so far. Knol posts are much more formal. Blog posts have more informal content as well as record day to day thoughts and activities.

IITs and IIMs are not Brands
I read the following piece from a new item on IIT meet at New York (IIT Bombay Golden Jubilee Conference 2008, held at the Marriott Marquis Hotel Times Square in New York City, July 18-20)
Touching upon the challenges, Roopa Gir (Director, Corporate Technology Watch, Schlumberger) pointed out that with the announcement of reservations for OBCs, the quotas have gone up from 22-and-half percent to almost 50 percent now for students; 30-40 percent faculty positions have fallen vacant and as more students get admissions under the quota, the faculty ratio of vacancies will go up to 50 percent.Gir said that students have cracked the IIT-JEE entrance examination and so nearly 90 percent students who qualify for admissions are not of high quality.
The IIT-JEE private coaching has emerged as a multi-billion dollar business in India, she further pointed out. "Just preparing students for the IIT entrance exam is a Rs. 20,000 crore (approx $4.5 billion) business."The other points she raised were of faculty development and diversification of IITs to include disciplines in medicine, law, arts and so on.Talking of capacity constraints in existing IITs, Victor Menezes (former Vice Chairman, Citigroup) said, "We take great pride that only one percent of students who qualify get admission to IITs.
That's a ridiculous statistic to be proud of. It's like being in a luxury liner vainly polishing the brass while sailing in a sea of icebergs."Menezes said that while a lot is being done to project the brand IIT, the brand itself is getting outstripped. "I don't believe it's about buildings or money, but it's about governance and accountability."With 90% of the funding coming from the government, IITs will never achieve independence.
Echoing Menezes' sentiments on brand IIT, Girish Reddy, Co-founder of Prisma Capital Partners said, "We are under significant threat of brand dilution because of various factors like growth, expansion, more students, lack of faculty, and so on. It was Reddy who mooted the idea of developing centers of excellence rather than go for multi-disciplinary IITs.Reddy also criticized the Indian government's rapid expansion plans. "The new expansion is based on the cookie-cutter model cast 50 years ago.
That won't work," he said.Touching on the issue of caste-based reservations, Rajat Gupta, Sr. Partner Emeritus, McKinsey & Company, said that along with quality of education and expansion, there has to be inclusiveness in education. "We can't say 'no' to reservations and need to change our attitude on that," he added.As for viability of the institutions, Gupta pointed out that world over institutions imparting higher education are by and large, not-for-profit institutions. "But that doesn't mean they cannot make profits," he adds.
"It should be profitable, but the profits should be ploughed back. In India, there are many higher educational institutions which run only for profit, and they are all of bad quality."The tripling of the IITs in 50 years since the first one was set up is just one percent growth and it's not enough, Gupta stressed.The panel felt that teaching and research needed to be integrated within the academic institution itself in order to retain faculty.
My opinion is that people should not look at IITs and IIMs as Brands, which are to be protected so that its past alumni enjoy brand benefits. They should be viewed as successful education institution models in India, and an effort has to be made to expand them both in their current locations and in new locations.
Expansion of high quality higher education institutes requires and whenever government feels it has the necessary resources it will expand.
Frequently, people talk of lack of faculty. The current faculty must be prepared to develop the existing resources rather than condemning the existing resources as not fit for development. Such elitist attitude "except we no body can" is not proper attitude. Teachers must have willingness to develop students who gather around them through some process. They should not reject any student provided they have a seat which can be offered to him. When society is willing to set up high quality institutions, the present faculty must come forward to upgrade the knowledge and skill levels of others who are willing to be faculty in the new institutes rather than declaring opposition to them with the argument that high quality faculty are not available in the country.
Come out with a processs to improve the faculty and potential faculty currently existing in the country are around. Brilliance of the existing faculty must be used to expand the faculty resources.

IIT JEE Study Guide, Tutorial, Revision Material, Notes
I am very happy that the blogs started by me for JEE Physics and Chemistry have developed well and they are being used by many aspirants in the recent days. I hope to improve them during the course of the year to make them more useful for JEE 2009.
Presently I am writing concept review material for the chapters of book 2 of HC Verma. HC Verma is a very good book for Physics. If one reads the book very thorougly he will be able to answer all objective questions that were asked so far in IIT JEE. I checked this in answering questions related to thermal physics so far.

As I am trying to assemble a blog on NITIE alumni, I am coming across useful information. Today I find that an alumnus is a vice president in a company associated with trading on Madison Avenue in New York. I was there in October 2007 roaming the avenue for two days. I could have said hello to him if I knew it then.

Problogger
www.problogger.net
I visited problogger.net and it seems to have interesting information for bloggers.
I found the post on earning from sites interesting. The sources of revenue for the publisher of the site are given as
1. Chitika
They offer a variety of ad units and income streams - eMiniMalls, Related Product Units and Shoplincs.
Problogger has plenty of Chitika Optimization tips.
2. AdSense
The most popular form of advertising on blogs is AdSense (according to a few studies that I’ve seen). For tips on optimizing AdSense on your blog check out 8 part series - www.problogger.net.
3. Text Link Ads
While they have a ceiling in what they earn per site they are another good solid earner for me - particularly now that they’ve added feedvertising (RSS ads) which out performs any other type of RSS ad that I’ve tried. I’m hearing from many bloggers that TLA is their biggest earner now. It works best on sites that have been around for a while - you don’t need big traffic to be accepted - but having a page rank and some search engine presence helps.
4. Amazon Associates
The forth Quarter of each year tends to be a good one for me when it comes to commissions from Amazon. The last quarter is a time that people are in a buying mood in the lead up to Christmas - can bring great conversions. The key is picking relevant products to promote. Read more tips on affiliate programs for blogs for a few other tips on optimizing Amazon on www.problogger.net.
