Learning from Delhi MetroBy: Vijay Gupta | Thursday , 16 Jul '09 1:19:04 AM Reply | Forward What distinguishes success from failure is learning from failures and incorporating the knowledge into work culture by devising governing execution standrads
MISHAPS ARE CAUSED DUE TO CORRUPTION?By: B S GANESH, BANGALORE | Wednesday , 15 Jul '09 21:32:20 PM Reply | Forward In my opinion of 70 years of experience of seeing most mishaps in our country, I feel they are all caused due to corruption oriented working of using sub-standard material or deficiency of meeting rigid specification. Even in Bangalore we have seen many cases of failure and cuprits escape.B S Ganesh, ganshar@dataone.in 70/9 Basappa Layout, Hanumanthnagar, BANGALORE 560 019
No place for honest N dedicated person in BharathBy: R S Patil | Tuesday , 14 Jul '09 11:44:06 AM Reply | Forward E Sreedharan Metro icon had strongly opposed the concept of leveraging a land bank to finance the Hyderabad metro project. He had warned that this model would erupt into a full-fledged political scandal. CM subsequently dismissed him. This is the reward for a honest beurocrat who has dedicated his service to the nation even at the age of 77. CM encouraged maytas group and awarded contracts worth 80000 crores. Raju could even change the alignment of metro to go thru the properties owned by him and CM family.Further Sredharan has been humiliated by UPA govt in his pension case.This country, this govt and people of Delhi do not deserve Sreedharan.
effect of age on performanceBy: subbarao | Tuesday , 14 Jul '09 7:35:24 AM Reply | Forward Dear Sir: The law of nature is that all cells dies as aging process. Lata Mangeskar was singing beautifully at her prime age. She stopped singing at old age. Old age limits the ability of people what they were able to perform beter at younger age, Mr. Sreedharan is over seventy. As a physician, I can say that old age imposes limits on functional ability of the brain. Our epic Mahabharatha gave a message to us saying that when a old man Bhisma was incahrage of the affairs it ended up in a disaster. Mr. Gandhi took decisions at old age which became detrimental to our nation later as seen today. Because of cortical atrophy or plaque old brains cannot function as efficiently as their younger brain and they have to undergo CT of Brain or MRI before taking up a job. Mr. Sreedharan's decision to resign was correct. To withdraw later like Advani was wrong because old age causes the brain to function in an ineffective or suboptimal manner. This principle also applies to Mr. Manmohan Singh.
Corruption from Top to bottomBy: Dodo | Tuesday , 14 Jul '09 7:06:07 AM Reply | Forward Indians should learn few lessons from Canadians. Toronto Transit commission runs over 50 years old subway lines throughout Greater Toronto Area with no mishaps. Delhi metro must be less than ten year and look at it. They should go back to bullock carts. Thats they will be more environment friendly and save the planet.Lesser carbon foot prints. lol
Sreedharan may be allowed to goBy: SRGM | Tuesday , 14 Jul '09 6:38:08 AM Reply | Forward It is only fair to let Mr Sreedharan leave. This will lead to better soul-searching down the line and may also help in proper investigation of the accidents.
SHAME!By: Shivkumar | Tuesday , 14 Jul '09 6:31:48 AM Reply | Forward Many people in India believe that many other countries are surviving only because of Indian smartness and boast about our technical education. Hope we will understand the reality.

India's brilliant engineersBy: Bobo | Tuesday , 14 Jul '09 2:58:25 AM Reply | Forward I thought Indian engineers were better than the best American engineers? Are these the same brilliant engineers that America's economy cannot do without? These people don't even know how to use cranes, let alone build anything. What a fraud.
Mishap due to corruption.By: NA | Monday , 13 Jul '09 23:36:17 PM Reply | Forward The reason for all this is 1. Corruption from top to bottom.2. No value for human life.3. No system to fix the responsibility (Metro says Gamon is at fault, Gamon says Contractor is at fault and ultimately a learned and most respected man Mr. Sreedharan's shoulder is used, why dont's our politicians understand what if this man leaves DMRC, the Delhi Metro project will never finish in time and India will lose the Common Wealth Games which means Indian Govt will have to return all the money given to them to build the infrastructure for games back to the games authority. Which they cannot return because 60% of the money is eaten up by the system as bribes, cuts etc).Why can't we common Indians (Approx. 100 billion) take the shit out of these 700-800 politicians who are using our money and screwing us. The guys responsible for this Mishap should be given Capital punishment and please don’t setup inquiry commissions who will deliver results after 5 years
