I was contemplating to title this as “End of Oil Terror” but towards later in the night there were more news to be added as a development to the story in my last two blogs made me change it.
I had given my car for repairs to the dealer and was promised that I will get back on Friday. I gave my car before this Oil terrorism happened hence was quite tensed as I knew it had its tanks empty. Luckily on my way back home the petrol bunk was open and I could get tank full of my share. That’s the time I knew that the terror standoff is over and I can now go to office on Saturday tense free and write this blog.
I have been hearing from child hood that one day oil going to get over and that would be kind of dooms day which any way I could sample now. When I was young could see lot of stories that there will be alternative to oil soon and could see Bio fuel, solar, Wind, Fuel cell, Hydro as believable alternatives. The most unbelievable ones were that people are developing a bacterium which can convert water into fuel and worst even they will convert the Co2 in the air into fuel, imagine the Co2 emission will be the raw material for these Oil companies probably of 2209 AD. As again going by the logic of the flat world all this is for sure possible.
I was also wondering if there was a larger conspiracy in these recent oil price fluctuations. Today the oil prices are almost one third of what it was few months ago. If you see it more closely just before distinctive recessionary trend did set oil prices were at its peak and once it the recession settled down in dropped. Once it peaked I could not satisfy myself with all my readings in web, newspapers & magazines the concrete reason of this raise except for that my childhood stories of oil doomsday approaching fast. Even now when it has dropped I face the same dilemma and I am not able to buy the logic that recession has lowered the demand hence the prices has fallen. I am no economist but some time feels that probably all the money has flown from one geographical location to another. I won’t be surprised if after few more years we come to know that it was masterminded by the terrorists.Well Finally when I reached home I defied my wife and risked myself to on the TV as aware the world could change in few hours. There was breaking news “Raju, Brother arrested”.

Strike the Strikes
Well I am convinced that India could be put to halt just by few hundred people without any terror strike, without weapons, without any aggression as we know what so ever. We need to redefine all these as in this age we have new form of aggression. Just a few officers of Oil Companies have gone on strike and the whole country is coming to its knees, literally. There is already an ongoing strike to compound the woes from the truckers.
In this new world the venerability of the countries have come to such small things that terror need not strike the way it did strike recently in Mumbai. Example all they need is bunch of politically activated people in oil companies to come with a strike and the whole country can be halted. This venerability could be virtually exploited my anti nationalists further which I even dread to mention it out here. I was reading a book recently on the first gulf war fought by Americans all they did was cut of the electricity in Iraq. This one event made all the equipments fail in Iraq and hence further exploitation of situation resulted in the most successful, fastest and with the minimum cost of money and live a win over Iraq. Use of Nuclear weapon is fools tool in this world all this world requires to develop a device which makes the entire electrical system to burn and the place could be put centuries behind something like the James bond movie “Golden Eye”. This still might be since fiction but as someone who talked about the flat world said that any Idea you can think of is surely being thought of by someone is being worked upon and will surely come in days to come. Unfortunately as it seems our country does not need to be ready to tackle these situations, we have a far easier thing which does not need scientific innovations like a mere political innovation is enough to put everything on stand still.
As a country we really need to do something almost immediately to ward of these threats. This has to be treated equivalent to terror and not more laws like ESMA could be sufficient and probably the newly formed terror law is more applicable. I also understand that the aggrieved people in these PSU need to have some readdress mechanism to fall back to. It’s my strong feeling that we need to strike the strike before it strikes us.
