Big is beautiful....??

I dont know. Some say small is beautiful.

When we put in the indian context ( govt....in particular), i come back to the former. heres why....

1. take todays paper. the supreme court report on the " unconstitutionality" of the dissolution of the bihar assembly was of 450 pages. When asked why congress was yet to take action against the governer, The home minister says, he has just finished reading 275 pages. he cud not read the rest due to " other " engagements. hows that?

even the telgi scam report ( or charge sheet) weighed over 1500 pages. n so many others.

i guess how much can people write?

2. my appointment order from ONGC ( in 2003) with all details ( i mean all...............it was one long list) went upto 35 to 40 pages. and i finally never read more than 4-5 pages i guess ( n din join there either). in gen these orders come upto max of ten pages.

3. my b.tech project report including all irrelevant useless data ( the most part of the report) only made up to 35 pages. my batch mates seemed to have the knack of filling 150 pages of tripe. n it sure looked impressive than ours....

4. all these board exams operate on this gravitational effect F = Mg. more the 'M' factor the more marks u get. in univ exams, i struggled to get past the initial booklet of 22 pages . occasionally i did take upto 3 extra sheets. and my classmates end up with 65 pages ( that is nearly 12 xtra sheets ( whopping). n these ppl score more than me eventually me. :O

i dont understand this funda.

why all this big? to think n dream big is okay. but how big n in wat kind????

The Phd thesis of John Nash ( remember beautiful mind)was only 25 pages. why do ppl here r obsessed with " big" reports n stuff. ( strangely so is the population scene in india;)

if only someone has an answer..........
