Digital Balance of Digital Age
Peanut Size Brain of Our Politicians
Peanuts, Jumbo Peanuts, Digital Balance of Digital Age
Peanuts, Jumbo Peanuts, Digital Balance of Digital Age
Let me deal with the digital balance first.
Few years ago when I was in Colombo, I did a survey to see how many of the private hospital laboratories had proper scientific balances, in their laboratories.
The answer was none.
I cannot remember well but one place had two balances of scientific quality, may be Quality Control Bureau which were hardly used.

BumiPutra was in charge of this place
No wonder when one sends the same sample divided into ten portions to 10 places one gets 10 different results or answers.

In fact, I did this as part of my survey as a prerequisite for installing Quality Control Procedures.
Then I left to join university and it was no better.

I could not find a proper balance for my work.
After much deliberation I ordered one and it came three years later once, I had finished my data collection.
I bought one digital balance using my own money which the university never reimbursed.
I asked for a digital microscope which they never provided.
In fact, I bought a digital one during our strike from my saving from abroad.
During the strike I managed to find a digital balance for kitchen.
I bought that at cut price knowing very well a new one will cost a lot.
This came handy when we were feeding the young squirrel.
The young squirrel weighed only 20 gram.
His weight after a feed was 21 gram.

Now to the crunch point.
I weighed real jumbo peanut it was 1 gram.
I weighed a local peanuts and two to three would qualify for 1 gram.
I weighed a local peanuts and two to three would qualify for 1 gram.
Then I looked at the price of jumbo peanut which is Rs.120/= 90 gram packet.
It had less than 100 peanuts and one jumbo peanut is over one Rupee in price and that was revelation.
One can buy two decent sized local peanuts for one Rupee.

Then I realized we have a Jumbo Sized Cabinet to oversee the plantation including peanuts not peanut butter.
I wonder whether some of these ministers even have a peanut size brain to understand, how bad our economy is managed.

When two legged Jumbos are in opposition (I think they do not have even the peanut sized brains) failing to voice an opinion for the poor voters (whose brains are undergoing starvation atrophy) I think the Jumbo Sized Parliament is an utter wastage.
