The Schrodinger's panchayat

Panchayat is smallest unit of administration at village level. 

Panchayat is like Schrodinger's cat. Unless you observe, the Panchayat may both be working and not. Under observation of higher ups, it appears to work. For public, it appears to not work (at least to their satisfaction). 

But technology helps. Vigilant public helps. RTI helps. They ensure that the box has a camera and the cat cannot be both alive and dead. 

A challenge in public policy is, how do you put a camera in all the boxes of public service administration. I have installed cameras in my office. Seems that the cat is more alive than dead. How do I know? 

The other day I was shown a rat that was caught in my office!

shrinking jacket expanding universe

I put the Jockey jacket into the washing machine. I had bought the washing machine during the recent sale on amazon.com. While the jacket was engulfed in the whirlpool of soapy bubbles, the universe, along with all the objects in it, scaled up by 1.5. The jacket inside the whirlpool survived. I didn't realise. I now wear a jacket that's 2/3rd it's original size. I blame Jockey. Jockey blames the washing machine. You decide.
