User Experince

What exactly is the difference between development done by a Sardarji Economist Prime Minister,a castist groups led by Maya memsahib and right wing Hindu Nationalist like Narendrabhai. This was the topic of debate with Tiwari this morning.

Development of a country is like developing a software. One has to ensure that the "user experience" across wide spectrum of constituents from Nandan Nilekani to Laloo Prasad Yadav is seamless while the core engine behind the scene chugs on irrespective of the load and difficulties.

Maya memsahib's tendency to please majority users with more features, rarely used with a poor core engine. So you have features like SP/DSP from backward class, all ministers from super backward class but these features rarely help the regular user of the system.

Narendarbhai style is to focus on extraordinary users experience and a functional core engine. But the process of development is managed like an autocrat and hurts a lot of people leading to a dissatisfied and disgruntled developers. So you may see the power supply and water from Narmada flowing across Sawrashtra. You will see a disgruntled Keshubhai. And you will see fear in the minds of the Muslims which is serious bug in the core engine.

User experience - Narendrabahi style

The development at the center is mainly driven by making all the departments like the CEO (Soniaji), CTO ( Left block), CFO (DMK) agree on something which will make a difference anywhere. At the moment all agree that the "user experience" ( reservation) is the fine and core engine can remain shitty.
