Clairvoyant but an engineer

it is none other than mr.sujatha..or mr.rangarajan .he according to me is really a prophesier in terms of scientific inventions.he can be rightly called as Indian da vinci . this credit was in due for him for his exemplary work in the field of writing and i take immense pleasure to call him so.his writings really were,are & will be thought provoking and am sure the reader will have a horripilation while reading his books.he was conferred an award from government of india's national council for science and technology in the year 1993 for making science accessible to public through the print media which was very popular those days.
his book " KATRADUM PETRADUM" and "en? edarku? eppadi?" gave a common man to understand science in an easy way and through his satire writings he was able to establish a separate  place in the heart's of people.the answers to the questions asked by the readers were given in very simple language to be able to understand by any reader.being an electrical engineer he himself was crazy about science which one can descry this in every book of his.he was well acclaimed for his stories most of which were science fiction, "aaa!!" is very famous among them.his detective character "ganesh" featured in many of his creations and was well received by the readers.
i call him a clairvoyant because i was amused by his capability to think far beyond  reality (once upon a time but now a common feature).his boundaries were only obstructed by his imaginations.he was able to foresee inventions early in the 1980's which came into existence only in the 2000s.one such thing is "google earth".in his book "meendum geeno" the protagonist asks a scientist to design a mechanism to find out a person's current location using INTERNET (mind you www came into existence only in the early 1990's).the scientist goes on to create a net based searching mechanism.the ruler gives id cards for all the citizens which is unique to everyone and one can swipe the card(as in modern offices) to access anything in the country.he then integrates every id with a master computer in the capital.
mind you this story was published in the year 1986 when no one could have thought about such a system.he has a robo dog as hero which saves the country from the atrocious villains.
the mega budget film "enthiran-the robo" was conceptualized from this story i guess....
he truly was a genius.the tamil film industry and the media surely misses him.
he was really a paramount figure among the writers' freternity

happens only in INDIA

I recently read an article in a website that was giving details about successors of big industries like WIPRO , TVS , INFOSYS etc. All the successors were the children of the predecessor or some relative of the predecessor. Moreover they all are of small age just under 30 but are recruited directly in the managerial post.
How is the company board accepting for this?
one astonishing thing is all of theirs' alma mater is in foreign countries only none of them i saw (i saw for about ten ppl) were graduated from any of the colleges in India or none of them studied in any corporation school.
These big guns of the economy just talk in front of large crowd about building good schools providing good infrastructure to the schools but they dont really implement that.Only when their wards study there they'll know the plight of common Indian man.They speak some rubbish in front of mic but send their wards to foreign countries for comfort and more importantly for their safety.All politicians and big business tycoons fall under this category.India is becoming a capitalist economy.We should not allow this top class people to rule to middle and poor class.we should stop this....but

THIS HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA
