Whats in a Name.. ?

Just read the ET article on GSPC striking $ 50 biliion gas in KG basin. Sounded interesting.. so I read on..

Grappled with curiosity, I couldn't wait to reach the end of the article.. but then, in the very first line on the fifth para I read something that sent me rolling-on-the-floor, holding my stomach, laughing it out. Before you guys get a dose of it... here is a precursor..

Microsoft names its forthcoming version of Windows ..... one that is supposed to change the way an operating system is perceived by the IT community.. as Longhorn...

Apple christens its latest OS .... the best release of all the Operating Systems Apple has every churned out from its factories..one that is ready to take Windows head-on...as Tiger

Such is the legacy of connotations that follow anything of great magnitude.. anything that is supposed to have a great impact on future events.. atleast in foresight.

Now, our very own, home grown, GSPC calls the largest find the past 30 years.. one that can meet the needs of Delhi and Mumbai single-handedy... Deendayal

It would not take a shrewd reader's brain nor the quintessential bibliophile to pose this question.... "What in gods name is that ?"
But, if you are a keen follower of the Indian media... one is supposed to take such idiosycnracies in ones stride.. make it a part of ones walk-of-life.. one is expected to LIVE WITH IT.

But that makes one wonder... how long will this.. what the heck.. who cares.. attitude continue..
If such is the prudence displayed by these so-called behemoths in the indian energy sector in casting appellations that overshadow the very significance of an invention or a discovery; when will the world ever take notice of what India is all about. When will it know that it is more than a land of snakes and camels.. When will it know that people in India do more than just breeding..

Sigh !!.....This leads me to only one conclusion... only one philosophy.. which has had its roots deep inside the echelons of the psyche of the indian people
I AM NOT OK... YOU ARE NOT OK.. BUT THATS OK...
