So let us see if the oil companies and the Indian govt would ever see a decrease in the oil prices to decrease the petrol prices as well. Just as a thought, I would try to capture the date on the these parameters as frequently as possible :

Date                                      Crude Price                                                   Petrol Price

                                               WTI / Brent ($ / Barrel)                                 @ Hyd

9-Aug-2011                       78.74 / 99.06                                                   70.61

imagine a scenario, where the private fuel companies decide not shut their outlets for few days, becoz they are not happy with the fuel pricing. Can the government do something about that or the corrupt officials / leaders would take this oppty to increase the prices again ???

When the govt de-regularised the petrol prices and allowed the market / companies to decide the pricing, they said the prices would fluctuate… However I havenot seen fluctuations and the ride only has been north side.

That made me to sit up wonder if there is any transparency in the pricing procedure, or is it way too complicated for the ‘aam aadmi’ to understand.

I’m listing below the prices in some of the nations which worth comparing…

Source of table compilation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_and_diesel_usage_and_pricing#Typical_gasoline_prices_around_the_world

I would also love to compile and probably track the movement of the petrol price in India against the global barrel price and see if we are really getting a fair deal from the agencies.

May be if someone from the programming community can help, I would want to create a table which could automatically extract information on these 2 columns on a periodic basis and insert here for reference. May be… to prevent all this the govt woul reduce the price !!!

What ever be the information, I think the best thing is to reduce the dependence on the fuels itself !!!

We are wondering if training a fresher would be more beneficial and easy compared to hiring an experienced professional and unlearning their past wrong experiences – this is becoming increasingly difficuly to make a decision. And the other factors like existing client meetings and delviery issues are not helping either by taking lot of time. As time is running out, it is important to take decision ASAP.

But the question is which is better is still there and need to find an answer this week without any furthe delay. Have some thoughts on this – feel free to leave your comments.

In a country of more than 1 billion people I’m sure there are more important topics for these guys to monitor or follow than the personal tweets of a minister. And the way they are writing articles around his single line tweets is amazingly riduculous. Use your creative knowledge and ability for more constructive things that this guys.

At last there seem to one minister who seem to be operating in a connected way to the public and you guys are messing it up. I’m glad that Shashi is still tweeting. Way to do Shashi, we are glad there is one minister who we can relate to.

Don’t try to fix the blame, Fix the problem ! ! !

If you meet this need, mail me your details in rvvamsi@magna.in for immediate response.

Happy Hunting !

Life has been very hectic in the last 1 month and kidoo is not helping either. He has become very naughty and making me run all the time once I’m back home. Ofcouse that is one of the important reasons that I’m trying to come home early, even tough I’m very late my Priya’s standards. But good thing is that I have started my workouts in the form of some amount of morning walks and yoga. Hopefully I’ll become slim like the samsung phone someday.

Shall keep you posted with the developments !

For more details / interested candidates mail me at rvvamsi@magna.in

I’ll come back again some time this week to write something more worthful and exciting.

Keep thinking, keep acting.

Cheers,

Vamsi
