In an interview with CNBC-TV18 on Monday, India's telecommunications minister A. Raja said the country can expect to see local phone call rates at 10paise per minute and domestic long distance calls at 25 paise a minute. But that's not the best part of the interview. He said:

I don’t want to be a stagnated and stinking pool. If it is a stagnated, stinking pool, no animal or man will come; nobody will throw stone on it.

After this thought-provoking statement, he said:

When you are flowing water, somebody will drink, somebody will use, somebody will use it for other purpose.

What did I think about after reading this sentence? Holy shit. Why would anyone want to be a river? Poor Ganga is enough for ablutions.
