Here we go again!

Bengal IT hub meets the Nano fate!(Read full story here...)


Now here is a classic example of how government's careless and lackadaisical attitude can kill an ambitious and long benefiting growth prospects of a state.


Are we learning anything from our past mistakes yet (post the Nano issue!)? Or is it too early to expect this from a state (and a country in the broader sense) which has for generations produced some of the world's well known names in varied fields of science and education. Is the local govt. really keen on getting investments for the state, generating employment for the locals and looking ahead of the current ruckus created by the detractors of such projects? Politics should take a back seat while deciding the fate and future of the country...but that is wishful thinking.


Seems India is full of surprises, never fails to amaze me. Every time we try to take a step in the right direction, we ensure to take ten steps in the wrong direction. Reiterating, are we learning from our mistakes? With issues like these being an common occurrence all I can say is "Here we go again!"


Amen!
