The danger is while the WINE is taking its own time to be ready , the wine drinker may " kick the bucket ".

Indian boozers are more of a beer drinkers than wine.
Something is brewing here - which you know not.

Sir, To be honest, even if the whole metro compartment is empty, still I have seen many of the Canadian not preferring to sit. Its not that they like it or not, but its because of the work culture. In comparison south Asians will behave like a magnet on seeing an empty seat. There is nothing personal against anyone but I was just trying to show the difference between work culture. One big reason of delay in LCA is Indian work culture where no one cares that they are being paid for the time they spend in office. Heck, even their "Chai" is also paid and they still don't want to work

Wow again I am not getting any correlation between standing/sitting and working. What's harm in sitting when you are in metro ??? If that was something caused less efficiency in working the people who design metro would not have add any seats to sit

And really No Canadian sit in metro ??? I guess Barny Stinson was right then just kidding no offence

Sir, If you really want to know things better let me have PM option on pdf. It will be kinda bad mouthing for the nation if I start saying things openly.

About the metro example, I used that one to show how much they love "Aaram Karna". Even during my working days in India, the story was same, how to avoid doing the work for which people were hired and putting all effort in "chamchagiri" I guess I don't need to explain you as you already know this.
I didn't know about barny Stinson thing but yes its true that its common to work while standing. I also had trouble in the beginning to adjust with

You need 10000 post to be able to PM

Yes work culture is not that good in govt sector in India. You can't say that for private sector. You will hardly see any "Aarmgiri" in private offices.

Oh and Barny Stinson is a character in famous TV serial " How I met your mother " the guy criticise everything about Canada

Lets stop here on agree to disagree

So yes India has gained experience in many technologies during the LCA project.
Why not divert all the money into these smaller technologies than insisting on Tejas.

Organizational closed loop thinking process. All there are either bureaucrats or scientists - no entrepreneurs/Mba's, etc, etc

Agree, they should start looking towards IIM's also along with IIT's. Bureaucrats controlling scientists is a good recipe for disaster.

Even scientists do lot of politics.

Even scientists do lot of politics.

And a lot of press interviews like politicians
May be some politicians should try to invent some science stuff for change

Good hit, Even I am fed up with his interviews

May be the effect of Bureaucrats

Bhai believe me, many scientists have left our country because of politics of these scientists.

They are among worst type of politicians.

At this pace some tejas will eventually be made......for museum use

No mate they are rolling LCA mark 2 within a year

Just like Arjun MBT 2

NEW DELHI — India will not seek overseas help in setting up the production line for its homegrown Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) program, as state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL) has told the Indian Defence Ministry that it will build the assembly line by itself, according to a HAL spokesman.

The remarks are in contrast to media reports here that said HAL had approached overseas aircraft manufacturers, including Eurofighter of Germany, to help build the assembly line for the LCA.

“At this stage, we have not contemplated partnering,” said HAL spokes-man Gopal Sutar, adding that work on the production line has already begun. “[The] production line for assembly hangars and associated facilities are already available, and the jigs for building the structures ... are getting upgraded to production standard progressively.”

He added that “HAL is not facing any technical problems in setting up the production line.”

Still, while HAL says it will go it alone on LCA production, sources said the MoD has received offers from overseas aircraft manufacturers in a bid to help HAL set up the production line.

The LCA project is already delayed by more than 15 years; the MoD wants to speed up production after the induction of the LCA Mark-1 model in 2015. The overseas aircraft manufacturers made their offers to MoD against this backdrop of anxiety, the sources said.

Development of the LCA was delayed in several stages, especially during development of the homemade Kaveri engine, which was replaced by an engine from General Electric.

The Indian Air Force has ordered 20 LCA Mark-1 aircraft, to be followed by another 20. The Air Force also wants 124 Mark-2 LCAs, the first of which is expected to be inducted around 2017.

Last month, the MoD released an additional $300 million to build production facilities at HAL, an MoD official said.

The LCA project was conceived in the 1980s to replace the Russian-made MiG-21 fighter aircraft. ADA, a laboratory of the Defence Research and Development Organisation, developed the project.

Developmental delays have forced the Air Force to hunt for fighter aircraft from overseas. The Air Force has 33 squadrons of combat aircraft, well below the requirement of 45.

The LCA Mark-1 model is expected to reach initial operating capability in the middle of this year, with full operating capability by 2014 or 2015.

The Air Force has added features to the LCA over time and now wants an improved version of the LCA Mark-2 model.

The higher-thrust GE F414 engine from the U.S. has already been chosen to power the Mark-2 model. In addition, the Mark-2 model will include an indigenous active electronically scanned array radar, advanced avionics and electronic warfare systems.

LCA is cash cow of HAL babus. If the program is completed who will feed them.
