Sir,
Scientific temper for an individual and technology for administration are the need of a progressive society.
However, if the technology is dysfunctional and faulty for, on an average, four days in a week, that technology may well be discarded till some western engineer fixes the problem.
One person from Bengaluru came to the undersigned with a complaint of sorts this morning about the “Server Down” complaint at the Sub-Registrar’s Office. This is the third time he was coming to Mysuru only for registering a document and going back unable to register the document BECAUSE the almighty “Server is Down.”
I told the complainant to keep cool as the government is also a victim of this SERVER DOWN Syndrome and as a result Gruha Jyothi Scheme is stalled for three days. He said in that case let the Sub-Registrar give a definite date when the SERVER would be functional so that he would come only on that day.
Will the authorities fix the SERVER? If not possible government must make some alternative arrangements to help these hundreds of people who go to the Sub-Registrar’s Office on working days. Apparently, with server down it would be a staggering holiday for the staff.

The additional hardship the citizens have to face is the fixed ‘something’ despite all documents being in order. The Mysore West SR is never in office before 11.00 AM everyday even after prior appointments have been issues for 10.15 AM.
The server is down, because the server was not stress-tested prior to deployment and hence is unable to handle the heavy load imposed on its computational abilities. This is typical Indian performance issue, and the Western banks and other companies which outsource customer services work to India, because the salaried are paid to the stff in INR, and is cheap to run in India. The complainys have always ben this server down issue. The reasons: poor garware and software managementand poor quality n of service culture.4@Anonymous points out the fact rhat it is not merely the technology, but the poor attitude to work by the staff, so typical of India.
A poster called @Vijay, talks about glorious Indian culture! This is it. That idiot is simply a wastrel.
Server down is a major issue in India, be it Post office, Banks, Aadhar centres, Electricity distribution companies, Registrar office or Govt. office. In Registrar office if right money is paid, they will work after office hours even when server is down. They know when to make server working. Reason, we citizens are treated as BHAKRAS.
@AV Prasanna
Oh, the cretin who tried to be too clever by promoting the LPG cylinders and accusing Shenoy of taking money from the contractors of pumped gas project, when that fool similarly promted pumped gas. He boasted, in an open letter tpo Modi, that he did his reserach degree in Texas, and woked in fomer Soviet Union countries on gas projects, and hence, he was an expert.
Later, you too claimed as an power engineering expert dishing out your unsolicited advice on transformer maintainance.
I too started my career as a power engineer, switched to electronic engineering and then to computer science and managed large projects in the West involving servers. Servers are as good as their quality of maintenance and thier response to the work load. Though India boasts of IT Tech, the quality of work in the IT hardware and software is poor for Indian work. So does India, in all sectors. Look at your quality of essential commodities. Quality has been a perennial issue in India.
But when these commodities are exported to the West, they are of very good quality!
In the West, credit card transactions every day are so many-most use credit or debit cards, no cash, that the servers of banks and vredit card companies are well used to handle the requests. Guess what, thesse servers are located in India, and they are made to work well using the Indian IT techie coolies! The servers, you refer to are different for your Indian work. So, Modi’s Tech India for Indians is a huge flop.
The problems in India for Indians are many. One of them is the very high demands made on the servers in the form of requests. You , Indians breed like sewage rats, and if so many of you make demands on centralised servers, they simply pack up. Your Indian IT Techie coolies do not work as good for you Indians, as they do for the Western customers!
Look at your Mysore-Bangalore highway. It is not functioning because of so many cars entering in so many ways, and it becomes a huge car park. .
Hello Prasanna
You wanted the free units of electricity too. I presume, you are a retired person , bought a house in Mysore, and now you are howling loud! Be happy with what you have.
You reckon, this server down issue is associated with the people who look after its working, not paid well? Did you ask your DC or the Police Commissioner, whether they face the same server down problems for theirn person transactions with banks? If they no, they will say that, then you know you are really treated as a Bakara-this is Modi’s India!
