I am sure most of us would have played or at least would know what Age of Empires is. For the un-initiated, its a game where different players represent kingdoms. It is a game based on the simple paradigm, "Survival of the fittest". The fittest is the one with most resources, most land or most advanced. Countries start from some Age [Industrial Age for instance] and advance to Nuclear Age etc.
Well, I am not here to talk about the game. I came across this article about China building one of the
most efficient power plants in the world. "China’s ability to generate its electricity more efficiently could be critical as the sector expands". It is doing everything it can to win this game. From Olympics to Technology and Infrastructure it is racing against the world's super powers, but India seems to be slowly panting along bogged with its baggage of greedy politicians and lazy beaurocrats, with us who dont seem to care a lot about where India goes. The infrastructure for common-wealth is nowhere near the target deadlines, it is apalling to see the "Sheru On Track" hoardings in Delhi, sometimes I wonder if Sheru knows that there is no track ahead.
I dont believe in cribbing and ranting. But it was really a helpless feeling to see this article. Maybe I should have stuck to Electrical Engineering and worked for Power Industry, maybe someone else did and I hope someone is working hard to put Indian Power India on the globe.

Efficient power generation is surely an area that needs attention and its interesting to know the steps taken by China in this direction.
Though I have also ditched electrical engineering for stuff that I find more interesting, I still think that it was a good decision on my part. :-)
Dude. You know the power lines throughout Delhi are under replacement. The open wires are being replaced by insulated one to decrease the power loss. Something are moving. :)

Yup, I have no regrets leaving EE behind me. I liked computers and that's what I am doing. Probably EE courses in India should be modernized a lil bit to make it more interesting. Never really found mine interesting :)
