** Limping?? **

"..........While I have scored around 8 postings on all my three series, I am finding that you are limping in your first ever series........"

Did I ever make a statement to the effect that I am going to write series after series on various topics? Buddy, mind you, I am in no competition with you and I am not under any 'oath' on this !! If you are expecting any 'series' from me, let me make it clear, I am not capable of writing any 'series' and so, I am not going to ! :o)

This Telecommunication series, the one exemption 'series', helped me learn a few things on the subject and I wanted to record it in our blog. Also, I did not find much information in www on the contributions of Rajiv Gandhi and Sam Pitorda for Telecommunication. Being an ardent admirer of both of them, I thought it fit to record their contribution in our blog. Honestly, I am no professor on the subject. I am just a kid, trying to learn the A-B-Cs of it. I was not even aware that the company C-Dot and the local telephone billing machine were Sam's brain child. This collating job helped me learn a bit more.

Out-dation of P&T and growth of Telecommunication is a sign of growth and development. If we can compare the growth of Telecommunication in India, a developing nation with that of Sweden, a developed nation - that by itself, I think, is a victory to those founding fathers? Can you compare the facilities available in India with that of Sweden in other domains - say, electricity, literacy etc etc?
