Lokpal Bill-Everyone Interested

The lokpal bill issue seems to have gained international attention,U.S as always has fiddled in others' affairs on grounds of humanitarian issues and has suggested the Indian government to excersise "democratic restraint" while dealing with the protest.Don't know what prompted the Americans to make such statement ,its not that our government has resorted violent means to curb the protests. Except in case of Ramdeo Baba where couple of fires broke out at the place where the rally was being held and baba gave a slip to police disguising himself in saree, I wonder if Americans are referring to that as inhumane.Anyways the point I intend to make is,when nothing has occurred which does not adhere to democratic principles on the part of government why Americans seem so interested in our internal affairs.
Leave aside issues like the government or civil version of lokpal or the content of lokpal. Our astute politicians have created a new issue out of this, the BJP now wants an answer from the government as to why are Americans being allowed to interfere, I wonder what answer could the government possibly give?
Meanwhile team Anna is welcoming the American interference under the context of international pressure being applied on the government to pass the right version of bill. Good thing for them if they take it this way, but do the Americans really intend to focus on humanitarianism while dealing with this issue or is it just being used as a pretext?(recollect the Jasmine revolution!).
In my view,U.S should first get their house in order which if not done may have serious implications on them and rest of the world. We as the largest democracy have enough political and civil will to look after our grievances and don't need anyone else to dictate to us the principles of democracy.

State of Affairs---Indian way

Look around everything is lying in a haphazard way, it ain't gonna work this way.
First of all lets get our things in order, but before that lets build a support structure to arrange them in order.Hold on, the things needed to build the support are not present, 
Prepare a tender to acquire them.
Waiting for tender to get a sanction............
Someone has raised an objection.
Waiting for it to be overruled.........
Waiting for the final delivery.........
Now that we have things required for the support,lets build the support.
Oh wait,in the time that passed by it seems the things for which support is to be built have multiplied themselves by many fold.
We need a new structure to stuff in the increased number of things.
BACK TO SQUARE ONE
Prepare a tender
Waiting for tender to get a sanction............
Someone has raised an objection.
Waiting for it to be overruled.........
Waiting for the final delivery.........

State of Affairs remains same yet again,thanks to ever increasing population and slow decision making.

Brushing up your Science

Some people are never satisfied with all the knowledge they have gained and are hungry for more.One such person is Bill Bryson, by profession a journalist,an author of over half a dozen books this person was not satisfied with the knowledge of science he had and felt was not delivered in a proper way in high school.This prompted him to leave everything aside and study the study of everything in science and probably everything inside the universe,yes he studied the study of everything since he has not discovered anything but has simply tucked in the findings of all the actualities together in 500 pages book in lucid way so that a commoner can understand them.
Also in some way he seems to indirectly taunt the high school science teachers "Look this is the right way to teach  science" by making science as interesting as possible, and by giving accounts of the great brains behind discoveries(and believe me they are worth reading).Speaking of Discovery a regular science stream student might find it reading the transcript of a science show on the Discovery Channel(although its not that way literally) but what makes this book special is Bill Bryson's special writing skills all utilized to make the inexplicable as comprehensive as possible.
