MOCKERY OF JUSTICE

2010-06-07T18:42:00.003+05:30

Everyone knows about the bhopal gas tragedy...where more than 20,000 innocent people lost there lives and above 1 lakh were affected and still children are born abnormal.
It has been 26 years and still no justice was done.
Today after such a long period 8 of the convicted persons were prosecuted and a mere 2 years of jail and a fine of 1 lakh each was ordered. Will such a minor penalty return those innocent lives or will such a minor amount be able to compensate those innocent victims.
Moreover these big shots were able to manage bail immediately without even setting their foot inside the jails. Thats what justice is called in this era.
This could be rated the world's biggest homicide ever

SOME STUFF CAN NEVER BE FORGOTTEN

2009-08-24T16:42:00.007+05:30

The place in the picture, this was a very famous place for our gang..we all spent half of our college days at the same place. We named this place "bhaina dukaan adda". This place had some zing,yes..dats the reason we all, right from 1st semester till last day never changed our spot of adda. This was a lively spot for us. I guess it had some divine power..haha..We did so much stuff over there..like staring at the chicks passing by(JP was a master), passing on comments(this i'll take the credit n also saket helped me a lot), long and never ending debates and discussions,and even the 1st, 2nd and 3rd bookings for cold-drinks and fags..but now when i saw it all but lonely it was very disgusting and it really pissed me off. I guess this place now lost all its zing and charm.And when I look at it, all I can see is those sweet memories rolling down my conscience like a flash back in a typical bollywood movie. But believe me folks it is true...when u r wandering over something u'll never know its importance but when u r no where near it then u'll realise its real importance in ur lyf and what u've lost. The same stuff I faced when I saw it. I know that nobody can bring back those sweet moments, all I can do is think about those moments and sometimes be happy and sometimes be sad. This trip made me realise one thing, A place has all its charm,zing or whatever u call it, its becuase of the friends.So, its more than heaven if friends are there with u..and its worse than hell if u r lonely out there.

I may sound a bit boring, and may have to face some typical remarks also, but I've pen downed the real feelings and emotions which I myself experienced. The conclusion which I came is that now this place only consists of all those beautiful memories wandering around itself.

This spot was very close to my heart and i guess also to our entire gang and will always be till eternity.

RE-UNION

2009-07-03T11:51:00.003+05:30

College life...it is the most beautiful phase which a person goes through in His/Her entire life. This is the period where every one finds new friends and also starts knowing about life and living independently away from home. This is the phase where friends become everything. People share their happiness, their sorrows and each n every feeling with their friends. There are lot of things to be cheered about like parties, addas, group studies, sports....and the list is endless. No one can ever bring those pleasant days back even if they want to.

After college everyone leaves in different directions in search of their futures and career's and hardly get the chance and time to meet each other.

But I feel I'm the lucky one..to be precise We(our gang) were the lucky ones. After moving out of college last year we got a golden opportunity to meet again and almost everyone stepped forward for this occasion except 1 or 2 who had their set of problems.

It was a great feeling to see everyone after such a long time. There were phenomenal changes in some of them...the most was in Ankush..and Bio.. gosh..they gained quite a weight...Baccha no longer looked like baccha..he also got matured..but still he was always our prey..

Inspite meeting after a long time it never looked like we ever parted..n humours , the pranks and the leg pulling everything continued as they used to be in college, nothing changed ..that was a very positive thing.

And as always the frequency between Me, Debu and Saket was still going well.

Wished it lasted a bit longer..but..nothing can be done all have to leave to join their respective jobs...

All in All..it was a sweet reunion..even though we missed 1 or 2..and I wish such reunions happen again in life..I know I'm asking too much but its human nature and quite natural..I cant help it...

Thanks everyone for coming....and most importantly..thanks Daman for giving us such a lovely occasion.

TWISTS IN T20

2009-06-14T16:21:00.003+05:30

Twenty 20 keeps coming up with something new every now and then. The ICC T20 world cup in England added another spectacle to this ever evolving sport. For the first time, children are accompanying the teams to the field before the match as it regularly happens in football matches. Also, for the first time in T20 games, the national anthems of the teams are be sung before the start.

So, this new invention which evloved in the game seems to have quite impressed me and it surely lifts the spirits of the game.

MY FIRST VOTE

2009-05-07T12:38:00.002+05:30

Can't say about the feelings which people have when they vote, but surely i can discuss mine.
So, it was 30th of april and elections at our place. As everyone knows..they come after every 5 years and sometimes even before, but I never gave a damn to them, but this time it was special for me..as I was voting and that too for the first time.
It was great to vote because I believe it is the biggest weapon we people have to change the system. Critics may say that nobody can change the system and then whats the point in voting.
But just imagine if every citizen thinks the same and doesnt vote, then what will be the future of our country. I might be sounding a bit phylosophical but fact is fact.
I dont know how much my vote can help in developing a good government, but I'm sure it has helped to decrease the vote of a bad party by 1 and am happy for that.

QUOTA IN POLITICS

2009-03-30T10:34:00.002+05:30

We have enjoyed quota system almost in every sphere regardless may be it in education or entrance examinations or even for getting jobs in central and state government organizations.
Uptill now we had quota on the basis of caste.Different people have different views regarding it.
Here i come up with another quota implication in politics.But this quota is neither on the basis of caste or religion. I think the constitution of India should enforce a YOUTH quota in politics.
Yes, I'm not insane while writing this statement, and I strongly believe my thought.
I believe that the constitution of India should make it an ammendment that there is quota in each and every party for the youth.And I also believe most of our country citizens would agree with this move.
If a particular party contests for 10 seats from a particular place then there should be a minimum of 3-4 candidates of the age 35-40 years contesting from that party.
This would lead to a perfect blend of youth and experience in that party and would bring a multi-dimensional developement to our country.
The experienced candidates can share their experience with the youth and can guide them further and the youth can bring up some dynamic and innovative ideas into focus.
But one thing should be kept in the mind of the parties that the youth are well aware of the idealogies of the party and they all well taught about the principles of that party and also awared of the discipline which politics demands.Else another Varun Gandhi can arise from them,which we dont want.

So, I guess this can bring out a new dimension of Indian Politics which can only lead to the betterment of our country further.And the election of Barack Obama as the President of USA can only bring more confidence to us.

BAGGY GREEN ON BOOKS!!!

2009-03-25T12:32:00.004+05:30

This is not the colour of the pages which i'm talking about, rather its been asked by the opec body to let the ARMY place advertisements on the NCERT text books of class 11 and 12 standards.
Critics argue that by doing such an act the students are being moulded todays a particular carrer option.
I rather feel that its some what a pretty intelligent move which wud rather enlighten a ray of hope among the stuedents that INDIAN ARMY can also be a carrer option for them.
If the ads contain all the details and various procedures in which a candidate can enroll himself in the INDIAN ARMY i guess it'll prove to be beneficial to the candidate and he can give a thought for it. Because at the time of age when every student thinks about becoming an Engineer, Doctor, Mba etc ..he can also..think in a different dimension altogetherto be an INDIAN ARMY officer.
INDIAN ARMY has a shortage of officers, so this move can turn to be a profitable one for our country itself. I feel that the other 2 defence outfits should also be allowed to place their respective ads.
JAI HIND!!!

~E-VOTING~

2009-03-05T12:39:00.000+05:30

Here I'm not telling anyone to vote for any knid of Indian Idol contestant, neither I'm asking to vote for an online debate for any news channel. Instead here I'm suggesting for the online voting in the general elections. Isn't it a good option to also conduct online voting,which would obviously bring a smile on each and every youngster's face. Most people avoid voting or give a slip on voting day just looking at the long queues and imagining of the time they got to stand there for voting. So, if our political parties instead of spending so many bucks on party campaigning etc, spend some of it collectively for making online voting possible then it would obviously be a great achievement for our country. Some doubts may raise over the credablity of the E-Voting,raising questions that in such a scenario a person can vote multiple number of times. There's a solution for such thing also. The government can give a project for any IT industry in our country and ask them to design the E-Voting system in such a way that a particular voter id number can be accesed for only one time and the respective id holder can sign in one time only and cast his/her vote. And after the designated time the voting web page will be locked. It wont be much a task of our IT companies to design such a thing, who are designing so many bulky projects for the overseas. The site can also be designed in such a way that all parties can upload their information regarding their parties there. This move will definitely bring a revolution in our country and will help in complete utility of our democracy with the number of voters increasing in turn which will help in the election of the most deserving party to the centre. The most important factor is that most of the educated people dont go for casting their votes, but a move like this will help all them to vote because now it'll just take 5 minutes. This is a great concept and our government should give a thought about it.

A BLOODY MATCH

2009-03-04T10:34:00.000+05:30

3rd March, 2009 would always be recalled as a black day in the cricketing history of the world, when 12 gunmen ambushed at the ferrying team bus which was carrying the Sri Lankan cricket team to the Gadaffi Stadium to resume the 3rd day of the final match in the 2 match test series.
Cricket definitely lost this day.....
The attack took place at the Liberty Chowk, one of the bussiest places and hardly a mile from the stadium.
The 12 men were there to play a different game and it seems they almost played it n smartly slipped away without even one being nabbed killing 6 policemen and injuring half the Sri Lankan team including the umpires,leading to the immediate cancellation of the tour and carrying the team away in a military helicopter which landed in the stadium.
This a complete breach in the security of the Pakistani cricket board and the government which promised a full proof security to the visiting team,who were the only ones who agreed to play after australia and india withdrew their series.
It was very sad to see the players who went to paly their returned to their homeland with bandages and injuries all over their bodies.

What effect this incident will have on the future of the Pakistan cricket is very early to be said,but its predictable with New Zealand and Australia cancelling their respective tours schedule later this year. The ICC World cup 2011 which was scheduled to be organised by the 4 sub-continent teams is also on the knife edge.
Pakistan might be on the verge of losing the world cup also.This is a serious trouble for the PCB with no teams willing to tour there, leaving them with the only options of matches at neutral venues.
This incident will definitely create a glimpse of shadow and doubt on cricket tours in the sub-continent and also on the IPL which is scheduled to kick start next month.

Now the whole world has to wait and watch to see where this audacious and brutal incident takes the sport of cricket which from years maintained an image of innocent and gentlemen's game.

SLUMDOG MANIA!!!

2009-03-01T11:26:00.004+05:30

Well these days slumdog has become the buzz word every where...and Jai Ho!!..the anthem..
But I couldn't get for what the whole fuss is about.
First off all the name itself creates a discrimination and also a bit of debate...as one can see..the very mention of the word "DOG" used for the slums. It seems the people of the slums have been compared to dogs.

Okay, I won't say its a bad movie..it is a good movie, a movie worth watching 1-2 times..depicting the fighting spirit of a person and also about some luck part.
But I completely disagree with the point that it is an Indian movie.I strictly stick to my words that it is a british movie...directed my a british director..and a british producer..with most technachians..from India..and also..all the artists from India.

Well its a proud feeling for our Indians that our technicians have been recognised globally..and now they'll get good oppurtunities..abroad.
But nowadays its become a daily news for every channel just irritating people with the same news..and also with the news that the slumdog kid has been slapped by his dad..n the slumdog kids were not allowed in the flimfare awards for 1hr..n they had to wait outside for 1 hr..does these things make news..these days..when thers lot of things going around..worth showing in channels.

There's a simple thing..if the same movie would have been made by an Indain..I dont think..it would have qualified..and its the fact..just look at what happened to "TAARE ZAMEEN PAR"..what was wrong with that movie..it was the first movie showing about the life of a dyslexic child and how u deal with them..but a boring and dumb movie like "NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN"..won multiple oscars..n this was just striked out..isn't it ridiculous.

We all should realize that its just a movie worth watching..just go and watch it..thats it..and stop all the fuss about it..and carry on with our work...

OLD THEORY WITH A NEW FACE!!!

2008-11-01T10:57:00.000+05:30

It was in British Raaj when they executed this great theory of Divide & Rule over India and they did it with brilliance, and the innocent rather foolish Indians didn't even get a glimse of what was happening and they seemed as mere puppets in the hands of the Whites. The situation became so worse that before independence it led to the creation of India and Pakistan which till date have some political rivalry rather to be specific rivalry. So this theory worked pretty well for the British.

Once again after 61 years of our independence the same theory is again raising its head high and this time its our own people who are recreating it. Yes, the so-called politicians of our country are the ones who the creating the situation again.
The recent incidents in Mumbai depicts the clear picture, where first the hawkers from North India were man handled, then the students who were there from North India for RRB examination by the MNS activists.
Now the situation is such that mobs are even getting into the homes and shops owned by North Indains and vandalizing their property and life.

Our public personalities are just loquacious and take pride in being abrasive. One politician in Mumbai whips up ethnic hatred and his cadre beat up innocent people.
The response is equally menacing, with crowds setting trains on fire in Bihar and even one youth of Bihar publicly carrying a gun in a bus shouting slogans of killing MNS chief.

So if such things continue to happen then there's time not too far when each state will become a separate country and we would require a passport and a visa to travel from mumbai to delhi or any other places. Whatever happens, every time the common man faces the heat. So we got to be united just ignoring such henious activities of our politicians. Because for a country that aspires to be a global power, our public conduct leaves a lot to be desired.

STILL IN THE SHADOWS!!

2008-10-21T15:16:00.000+05:30

This may sound strange to many but its fact , yes so how many of us really show interest in football and that too indian football?. And the answer to it will be very few. Apart from some parts of our country (say bengal, goa,) very few people in other states are interested in this sports. Some do follow football but are very much excited to see the european leagues and are updated with each and every news of theres. They truelly might be knowing that Hull City a B-Legue team of EPL entered the league and created an upset and is now on the 3rd spot and is also a threat for every team. But very few might be knowing that Mumbai FC a debut team in i-League has done same thing by defeating likes of mohan Bagan, East Bengal and Md sporting and now are on 2nd position of the league.

So who is to be blamed for such indifference in publice attitude?. Ofcourse the sports ministry and the sports governing bodies are to be blamed.

Very few might be knowing that cricket and football came to india at the same time and football was also very keenly played by the indians but we couldn't cope up with the technological advancement in the game then, for that reason india returned from the 1956 world cup match where they were not allowed to play bare footed and that was it after that india never qualified for one. On the other hand after the world cup victory in 1983 in cricket, it became a religion for the people of india and football slowly slipped into darkness.

Now its high time to seriously think about the situation and try to sort out a solution for it. 10 years ago the nation league started which now became the i-League, so concentration must be focussed on it whole heartedly and ofcourse with some currency also so that the infrastructures, the grounds,the technicians etc can be improved. So the ministry of sports must start considering this issues and implement some for the enhancement of the game in india because the BCCI and the cricketers can themselves make money without anyones help through their broadcasting rights, advertisements, sponsorships etc. Its good news that one of our country's best player Sunil Chettri has got offers from Leads United ( a renowned club of England) and also from a Portugal club.

The most important in the factor of success of cricket is its connectivity. The local coaching centers are connected to the state and Ranji teams, which are very well connected to the national teams. So in football also the same strategies must be followed for its upliftment.

We really have talent but it should be groomed in a proper way so that our dreams of seeing India play in world cup may come true.

CAR FREE ROADS!!!!!

2008-10-03T11:13:00.000+05:30

Imagine yourself walking on the streets of your city on your way to your daily work and to your surprise you see there's not even a single car on the roads.
No, this is not a dream and you are in your full senses. Yes, as our country has so many days dedicated to some special occasion as such mothers day,womens day ,pollution free day,so on and so forth, so what if we keep a day in the year where no private cars are allowed on the roads. Yes, it'll be a day, free of cars.
Now there'll be a stock of discussions on this topic that whats the use of such insane action.

But if one gets to the depth of the statement and closely analyses the pro's of this thing then he/she can emerge with some really astonishing benefits of such an action.
This would definitely save one person's one day's oil costs and would also help him to discover alternate mode of transportation which if he/she takes the most luxurious one also would cost him/her much much lesser than that of the oil prise he is investing. Apart from personal point of view this thing will surely help the government and also to our ecenomy.
This would also make the person to explore some of the facts which a pedestrain faces and the next time when he/she would move about in a car atleast they'll maintain some discipline.

This action would surely reduce some pressure of the heavy traffic, also enabling the traffic personal to relax a bit. And this can also reduce the carbon footprint thus blessing our environment.
So one can notice there are so many advantages in such an action.
But as always people like to raise their voices against evrything, so its quite possible here also, with people saying that whats the use of taking so much pain for some minute advantages.
Yes, true, but one should never forget the facts that" Something Is Better Than Nothing".
This is how revolution begins....
And there shouldn't be much a big deal in selecting 1 day in the whole year. And this can be initiated from the 4 metropolitans.
And what better place than our national capital to take the initiation. Yes, in Delhi there are more than 1 million private cars squeezing the pedestarians.The government should keep in mind one thing"just make a ripple, then it itself leads to a wave".

So this can lead to a great revolution by letting people to just park their cars in their respective gargages for just1 day...

@@TERRORISM@@

2008-10-01T10:19:00.000+05:30

Most people have a very wrong concept about terrorism. Yes they think that the bomb blasts occuring here and there are the only means of terrorism.
So what is Terrorism??. It is anything which causes terror in peoples mind.
Bomb blasts are not the only terror people face, there are also these irresponsible political parties which never loose an opurtunity to spew the venom taking the policies of religion or other ploys to create hatred or division among people. So this is also a type of terrorism and the people should also deal with it. These irresponsible politicians themselves are surrounded my a security force around their homes and are least bothered about the innocent people who are facing the consequences.
These political parties always take the forefront either by catching up unmarried couples on valentine day and forcing them to either apply sindoor or tie rakhis and also forcing people to put regional languages on their shop hoardings.

Specially BAJRANG DAL which completed its 24 yrs on 1st of oct is playing a major role in creating terror all around. The greatest example of their insane activities is the recent incidents in mangalore, bangalore and in orissa, where they protested against the christian missionaries vandalising many chruches and also assaulting many people and property. They proudly call themselves followers of hinduism...does hindutva teach such principles?? and the answer to it will be a definite no. So if one opens their eyes widely and look to the depth of the scenario then one can find that such parties are also creating terror.
Recently the constitution banned SIMI declaring it a exteremist organisation, so why not BAJRANG DAL is being banned as it is also following exteremist policies and creating division,hatred and terror among humans and making them fight against one another.

Inspite of the arrests of some of the Indian Mujhaheedin's members related to gujarat and delhi blasts, again blasts took place indicating the fact that terrorism is never of monopoly, it is caused by multiple units. The police force is trying its level best to stop such terrorists attacks by implanting various security checks at important places etc..but it is also harrasing the common public and they have no other option than to deal with it.
But the most important thing that they are neglecting is that how equipped are we to deal with the aftermath. Yes they must concentrate of improving the quality and also the quantity of our emergency services so that they can easily handle the situations well after an incident.
The number of emergency services should be increased and if possible there should be one for every 2 streets so that they are within reach if something occurs. This would definitely decrease the death toll. And this would definitely create some sense of security in everybodies mind and everyone should also devlope a belief in their minds that they themselves can fight with the consequences.

A Man With A Substance(Lance Armstrong)

2008-09-30T19:04:00.000+05:30

Freinds, Dont get mistaken with the one who was the 1st to keep his footsteps on the moon(Niel Armstrong).
But Lance Armstrong did a more tougher and impossible task than the former....yes, he won the Toure-de-France(the toughest cycling event) for 7 times and that too after recovering himself from testicular cancer..yes now it might seem strange to you but its true.
When he was diagonised of cancer he had two options either to quit or to fight, but he chose the later one because according to him:

"Pain is temporary, it may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will lasts forever. "

So he fought back his life and again after a rigorous practice he again started pedaling his wheels on the track. The intense practice and the pain he went trough is beautifully presented in his autobiography named:"Its Not About The Bike, Its My Journey Back To Life".

So he is one of the most admiring personalities who conquered death and living with pride.
and now again after his retirement 2 years back he is again geared up for a come back to the circuit.
A great Salute for such a person.....

FANSTATIC 4

2008-09-30T11:50:00.001+05:30

Sorry everyone if I'm confusing u all with my title, but here i'm not to describe or give some ratings to the hollwood flick rather its about 4 individuals who were completely strangers for each other ( except for 2 of of them who were childhood pals) and within a spam of time really came close to each other.

This is about Myself, Debu, Nitin and Saket(R-L). Yes we all 4 of us shared different chemistry between us and would easily understand each other even if sometimes the other doesnt speak up in detail or even if sometimes doent utter a word.
We used to call this quality of us as our frequency or fine tuning...but as there a some loop holes in everything, there's one here also...because one of us was a dumbo....n we preferred to call him"DHIBREE"(hope he doesnt mind) because most of the time he used to miss the track that always used to annoy us.

I would like to call ourselves as a small gang within a big gang. There were countless sleepness nights spent by us with doing some discussions or some casual talk or pulling each others legs or just boozing.The topics of the discussions had a vast range and included stuff such as current affairs, sports, politics,future plans and even meeting each other someday and also we shared a lot of secrets between us. But here was also a missing league and this time it was me..yes..as they called me "TIME TABLE" yes i used to catch up the bed soon..leaving them for the night. Yes we certainly shared a great emotional attachement between us.
Its not like that we were perfect, as everyone knows that nothing in this world is perfect, so neither were we...and incase some miss understandings occur between any 2 then the other 2 try to relax the atmosphere.
Hahaha.. i recall an incident..its not that much funny to laugh but neither it was a sensible one..once two got serious regarding some personal facts..but the other 2 were constantly soothing the atmosphere with their 3rd grade pranks...then the most intelligent of us ( debu) came up with a wonderfull dialog which initially seemed to be a simple one..but it really had some weight in it(the line was"24 -25 saal ho gaya hai..abh mazak kisiko pasand nahi ayega").

So after college we showed up each other at a common place and that was also a memorable day..it dint seemed that we met after a long time but it felt that it was just the next day infact after a nights long discussion because we were again so deep into our talks. So that was the last day when we Fantastic 4 were sighted together.
But its difficult to believe that the people who used to always hang out with each other,they hardly meet now..infact they talk to each other once a week or once in 2 weeks..but the attachement is still alive in our hearts..and will always be there till death separates us.

So this was about the Fantastic 4.

Life After College!!!!

2008-09-30T11:05:00.000+05:30

Its very depressing to pen down the facts and things happening after stepping out of the doors of HEAVEN (college life), but its also a truth and one should never turn his face off the truth.

Yes there was a time when we, specially I needn't have to look at the clock because the time used to literally slide away and when the date got changed i hardly knew. Yes those were the college days....it was the time when I dint used to do any productive work but even then i seemed to be so busy....but the super power sitting above some where whom we like to call GOD has to end it one day kicking us out of those glorious period into the world which is cruel, wild, and offcourse boring whatsoever.

So suddendly everything changed, it seemed that my mind has gone blank..and it was searching for some stuff to do but all in vain. Now i realised that a day has 24 hours and after that the date changes..and also now i look at the clock for countless number of times hoping for time to get passed soon..but damn the clock which previously used to slide away smoothly now seems to have stopped itself to take some breath.
There came many stupid and crazy ideas to kill some time such as blah blah...but those also got chilled up as the time crawled down. Then i was in a wrong conception that inernet surfing can surely make me busy and also kill some time for me..and in the initial days it also seemed to be exciting for me but then after some time I again found myself just wandering around different blogs, forums,different sites,communities etc with no ambition in my eyes .
The only good thing was i met some new people, some were good some still in doubtfull case.

And finally a day came when a crazy idea came to just open up a blog and pen down my experiences.
Yeah it might sound strange for most people but yes its the fact that I opened up this blog just for some time pass. Some blog for passion, some for showoff, some for knowledge but my case is a totally different one. Now I just have to see how far I can carry this thing.
