Water Management - Dr Anupam Mishra

Water conservation has been my priority.

An accidental search for an interview whose small clip appeared in twitter landed me to a YouTube channel. This channel is the last of all places to unearth a Gold Mine on water management.

Yes the YouTube Channel is Ministry of Railways.

Railway Ministry (India) carried out a series of interview surprisingly by Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu. This was during the period 2016.

One of the interview had Dr. Anupam Mishra as a guest. We will have to know who was Dr. Anupam Mishra:

Anupam Mishra (1948 – 19 December 2016) was an Indian Gandhian, author, journalist, environmentalist, TED speaker, and water conservationist who worked on promoting water conservation, water management and traditional rainwater harvesting techniques. He had been awarded the 1996 Indira Gandhi Paryavaran Puraskar (IGPP) award instituted by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India. He travelled to villages across several Indian states, especially Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh, describing the value of time-tested systems of water harvesting. He advocated conservation of traditional water structures in India as well as abroad. He wrote books like Aaj Bhi Khare Hain Talaab (Ponds Are Still Relevant, 1993) and Rajasthan Ki Rajat Boondein (Radiant Raindrops of Rajasthan, 1995), landmark works in the field of water conservation. 

I thank Minister Suresh Prabhu and Indian Railway for the interview, because after few months of this interview Dr Mishra passed away on December 2016.

The best part number of views (YouTube Channel Ministry of Railway) on the Part I Interview was 663 and Part II was 140 as on 15 January 2021 at 01:15 . The same video was also uploaded in a channel by Ameya Prabhu (son of Suresh Prabhu) in which part I and part II had 6300 views and 3300 views approx. as on 15 January 2021..

Unfortunately, the coverage for interview is pathetically low by any standards, even though it is one of the top class interview appearing in YouTube on water management.

If any blog visitor happens to visit this post , I personally urge to watch this interview. It is a Gold mine or Treasure house of knowledge regarding Ancient India / Rural India and Water Conservation and Water Management.

Billion Dollar Whale - Key takeaways

 Book : Billion Dollar Whale

Authors: Tom Wright and Bradley Hope

A detailed account of 1MDB Financial fraud is captured in this book. The book is vey fast paced and full of information about how the fraud was conducted. This book will keep rubbing salt on Malaysia’s wounds forever.

Worth reading to understand the following questions:

• How politicians interfere in business?
• How Head of State are human and vulnerable to corruption?
• Why never trust a banker even if it is the venerated Goldman Sachs?
• How educational institutions like Harrow are used for networking and not for knowledge?
• How lawyers use their position to create benefits to their clients i.e. IOLTA Accounts?
• How Seychelles, London and others like Swiss, British Virgin Islands make money I.e. stolen money of Asian corrupt politicians?
• Top professionals in their respective fields are vulnerable and they have same human weakness like others?
• How Hollywood Actors / Directors / Singers all behave same as other human beings i.e. everyone needs quick and easy money?
• How Pakistan protects Dawood Ibrahim is it the same as how Low is roaming in China?
• How International Peace Awards are a sham?
• How sovereign money is wasted on Advertisements by politicians? E.g. Welcome First Lady etc.
• Important question on Asia “Wasn’t Asia just a morass of corruption anyway?
• When it comes to believe freebies are entitlements Hollywood stars are same as Bollywoods (Indian film industry).
• Why the Sotheby’s and Christie’s will never close / they will be protected by the uber rich and elite? Mutual interest.
• How countries use Official Secrets to bury the corruptions / truths damaging politicians?
• A very apt question for Yes Bank Rana Kapoor, PSU Banks etc. - Hadn’t the system of checks and balances at banks failed to catch Jho Low’s malfeasance for seven years because of the greed of financiers? Replace Jho Low with Indian Industrialist and Bankers.
• How top executives like Mr. K V Kamath escapes their failure in running the banks and still manage to get on board of a committee formed by Reserve Bank of India? Even Goldman has it :

Gary Cohn, Goldman’s president and a big supporter of the 1MDB business, became director of President Donald Trump’s National Economic Council in January 2017, a job he stayed in for a little over a year.

Switzerland and Neutrality

The last time the Swiss fought a military battle was 500 years ago, against the French. (The Swiss lost.) Two hundred years ago, Switzerland was acknowledged as a neutral state in the Treaty of Paris. But it wasn’t until this day, Feb. 13, in 1920, that the League of Nations formally recognized its neutrality.

• Why Switzerland is neutral country?

Numbered account (Swiss bank secrecy)

 Geneva Freport (Storing of art bought from illegal money)

Both are used to stash illegal / black money by the uber rich / charltans. The sheer reason why Switzerland stayed neutral in the world wars, it appears the objective is to safeguard the illegal money of the political masters across the world.

The way London is shelter for the men ( from developing / autocratic countries) who have acquired ill-gotten wealth. Switzerland is for storing of ill-gotten wealth.

In short steal money / black money / launder it by storing it at Switzerland and stay at London.
