A New Jewel in Crown of Sleeping politicians and Officials

2008-11-30T06:34:00.000-08:00

Mumbai is free but not our country.
The Hostages have been released but we are still bounded.

Death toll may have mounted more than 400 but the government claims 183 died, as if 183 deaths is not a number.

Same old stories, same old age drama, same dialogues "Hand of Foreign countries",

When will our politicians and officials come out of their blankets and look around. They have sheilded and immunised themselves from all this trauma.

Every Indian might have been shocked and few may have even cried to see what happened in Mumbai, but our politicians remark "BADE SHEHRON ME AISA HOTA HAI" (Mr. R.R. Patil).

Few resignations, Few changes in ministry... same old pattern, No tough decisions, No signs of tough mentality.
AREN'T LIVES OF WE PEOPLE NOT SO IMPORTANT?

Where are now Raj Thackeray, Bal Thackeray? Why don't they arm up their GANGS against terrorists, as Raj did in Anti Marathi Campaign?
Now, Is he afraid of his life?

The real thing is that government just want people to forget everything by paying Rs.25 lakhs to the family of the deceased.

Did any other blast occurred in USA after 9/11, but here in India, every month there is one or more blasts taking place from last six months.
What the hell we are?

On the other hand, the deaths of martyrs are trying to be cashed down by some politicians in upcoming elections.
Instead of suggesting measures to improve and to work upon the Intelligence, Mrs. Vasundhara Raje is busy campaigning for BJP and picturising Congress negatively.
Madamji, what was Rajasthan government doing, when a series of blasts occurred in Jaipur??
Was even a single culprit caught after that?
You just said,"We won't tolerate this" Just keep saying this.

Can't we people come up and root out these bloody politicians first and probably the situation may improve?

The need is UNITY.
We'll have to come out of our shells, Sincere Youth will have to participate in politics.

Please suggest measures

Golden Words of Hitler:

When u r in light, everything will follow u.

But when u enter dark, even your own shadow
will not follow u
that is life

God made relatives. Thank God we can choose our friends

Money glitters, beauty sparkles, and intelligence shines.

Keep a very firm grasp on reality, so you can strangle it at any time.

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're getting.

People may not always believe what you say, but they will believe what you do.

I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific.

You can't have everything - where would you put it?

Laugh and the world ignore you. Crying doesn't help either.

God is not moved or impressed with our worship until our hearts are moved and impressed by Him.

Life is like a mirror, if you frown at it, it frowns back; if you smile, it returns the greeting.

Never trust a person who isn't having at least one crisis.

Goodness is the only investment that never fails.

The only thing lazy people do fast is get tired.

Never deprive someone of hope; it may be all they have.

Silence is the only thing that can't be misquoted!

If we don't control our money, it will control us.

Life Insurance: A contract that keeps you poor all your life so that you can die rich..

Some drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.

If you r living on the edge, make sure you're wearing your seat belt.

A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.

Minds, like parachutes, only function when they are open.

The shortest distance between two points is under construction.

Learn from other people's mistakes, life isn't long enough to make them all yourself.

On the road, never argue with a vehicle heavier than yours.

One thing you can give and still keep is your word.

Life is funny if you don't think about it.

Life is like a grammar lesson. You find the past perfect and the present tense.

There are two kinds of lawyers, those who know the law and those who know the judge.

More doors are opened with 'please' than with keys.

Are we safe in our country?

2008-07-26T07:42:00.000-07:00

Not even after few months have passed, Serial blasts in Jaipur are still afresh in our minds.

Now, it was Bangalore yesterday, then Ahmedabad today?

ARE WE PEOPLE SAFE IN OUR COUNTRY?

It may happen with one of us, that we've gone out for entertainment in a cinema hall or a park or some other place and probably we may not return.

Life has become so insecure and unsafe. People are terrified and terrorists are doing their job very efficiently and our ESTEEMED MINISTERS are busy blaming each other.

States are busy blaming Central Government agencies and Centre is busy blaming some other factors.
Intelligence agencies are either sleeping or spying the other ministers as per government wish.

OUR CHOSEN MINISTERS are very busy in bribing crores of rupees, so that they can manage to remain in power. LET THE PUBLIC GO TO HELL, (Sorry, we are already into it).

So, Now we are into JUNGLE RAJ. Money and Power will prevail.
So, where are we going to be after few years?

How can we come upto it and save our Country?

It was a sports stadium.

Eight Children were standing on the track to participate in the running event.

* Ready! * Steady! * Bang !!!

With the sound of Toy pistol , all eight girls started running .

Hardly have they covered ten to fifteen steps , one of the smaller girl s slipped and fell down , due to bruises and pain she started crying .

When other seven girls heard this sound , stopped running, stood for a while and turned back , they all ran back to the place where the girl fell down.

One among them bent, picked and kissed the girl gently and enquired ' Now pain must have reduced' . All seven girls lifted the fallen girl , pacified her, two of them held the girl firmly and they all seven joined hands together and walked together and reached the winning post.

Officials were shocked . Clapping of thousands of spectators filled the stadium. Many eyes were filled with tears and perhaps it had reached the GOD even!

YES. This happened in Hyderabad [ INDIA ], recently!

The sport was conducted by National Institute of Mental Health .

All these special girls had come to participate in this event and they are spastic children .

Yes, they were mentally retarded Challenged .

What did they teach this world?

Teamwork?
Humanity?
Equality among all??

Successful people help others who are slow in learning so that they are not left far behind. This is really a great message... spread it!

We can't do this ever because we have brains!!!!!!!!!

Jise dekh nahi sakte uski awaz mein hi khush raho...

Jise paa nahi sakte uski yaad mein hi khush raho

Laptop na mila to kya, Desktop mein hi khush raho...

Bita hua kal ja chuka hai, usse meethi yaadein hai, unme hi khush raho...

aane wale pal ka pata nahi... sapno mein hi khush raho...

Haste haste ye pal bitaenge, aaj mein hi khush raho

Zindagi hai choti, har pal mein khush raho

Is this the India of our dreams?

2007-05-15T23:14:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, Punjab exploded in a rage of protests as followers of Dera Sacha Sauda, a cult with a following large enough to help the Congress win 15-20 seats during the February Assembly elections, clashed with members of various Sikh groups for the second consecutive day.

The violence, with its infectious mix of caste, religion and politics, soon swept across large swathes of the state, joining large towns like Bathinda, Amritsar, Jalandhar and Ludhiana in one uncontrollable upsurge.

Later in the day it had spilled over to Jammu and parts of Rajasthan, forcing the Punjab government to get into a huddle and think of urgent measures to handle a situation that was clearly out of control.

It all began when the Sirsa-based Dera head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh appeared at a public function on Saturday dressed as Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th Sikh guru. All hell broke loose after that. Sikh organisations almost immediately formed counter-attack groups and burnt effigies of Rahim Singh which only instigated his supporters to go on a rampage, attacking and razing everything.

What is this rubbish?

Is this the India of our dreams?
Weren't we better humans before independence?

Every now and then, a new news coming out, related to violence, attacks, clashes, upsurges. We are "made" so busy among these that we're never willing to look on the major issues of the country.
Dirty Politics again raising head, politicians using the common man for his/her own benefits.
This is all done to distract the common people from major issues like unemployment, lack of infrastructural facilities, use of government funds for own purposes.

When are we going to wake up and make our country a dream country?

Can you people suggest something?

Why Women Cry?

2007-05-10T09:24:00.000-07:00

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?" "All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God.
When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said: "When I made the woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

SpiderMan is back (A Review)

2007-05-06T04:45:00.000-07:00

For Spidey Wallpapers and Trailer go to http://aditi-wallpapers.blogspot.com

Hey Friends,

May be I'm very late to put up this. But after seeing movie yesterday, I couldn't resist myself writing something about it.

Here goes the Spiderman, whoosh, the new spiderman, the new outfit for some time, the outfit which overwhelms him, overshadows his true identity, arouses his anger... wow, the animations are truly superb.

Although, the story is just so so (average one) but the new outfit is really overwhelming. With nifty new villains, a revived Green Goblin, plus $300 million worth of aerial special effects, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 is definitely good to go. There are digital effects galore to remind us that Sony is a high-tech company, particularly when a new super-villain, the Sandman, is transformed into a living sandstorm and pulverises bits of Manhattan.

The juiciest of the factors is spidey v/s spidey. Peter shuns his new outfit to control himself and the outfit is taken up by his rival photographer, who now wants to become a bad person and wants to kill original spidey with the help of Sandman.
Harry has been a likable character at the end, by helping spidey, when he's just being beaten by the super-villains.

The last words by Peter are touching,"It is you, who has to decide, whether to go for right or wrong, Harry opted for truth (similar to that)."
The movie says,"Every hero has a choice - to face the darkness or be consumed by it."

So, If you've not watched it till now and you like to watch action pack and thrill, go for it. You'd love it.

Wrong email

2007-05-02T10:07:00.000-07:00

Hi Friends,

I read this interesting email somewhere, that's why I wanted it to share with you... Just Read it and enjoy

Lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address:

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel plans. So, the husband left Minneapolis and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day. The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My loving wife

Subject: I've arrived Date: April 6, 2006

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then. Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P.S. sure is freaking hot down here!!!!!

7 dangerous Dont's...

2007-04-30T03:24:00.000-07:00

I've come across some very nice and useful things, which must be avoided after taking your meal.

THE SEVEN DANGEROUS DON'T ACT THE 7 ACTIONS BELOW AFTER YOU HAVE A MEAL

* Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).

* Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air.
Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.

* Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.

* Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.

* Don't bathe - Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

* Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.

* Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.

* Don't drink water immediately - It dilutes the enzymes working in the process of digestion and slows down the process of digestion.

Why Cruelty?

2007-04-27T09:32:00.000-07:00

These are picture of several pigeons, which come behind Albert Hall Museum of Jaipur everyday for grains and water. But now a fresh diktat by the Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje would leave the stately Albert Hall in Jaipur pining for birds, forever.

Every day the Albert Hall comes alive with the fluttering of a thousand pigeons that flock to the monument for a mouthful of feed handed by regular visitors. Now, people around are not being allowed by the police for feeding the birds with pigeons.

"The pigeons are damaging the beauty of this building. We would bring falcons (prey birds) at the Albert Hall so that they fly elsewhere," Raje told media on Tuesday.

"If Raje really wants some reforms, she should catch the Kabootarbaj," someone said referring to MPs indulging in human trafficking. If the signboards were not removed soon, the NGO would launch an agitation in Jaipur, he added.

Its being too "cruel" to remove those birds, which have made their homes as that place. Doesn't she know the places in London, Venice etc. are also tourist places? Pigeons are the beauty of those sites? Why she's being so cruel to them? She is not taking any measures also to place them somewhere else.

Just imagine, no fluttering of feathers by pigeons, no cuckoo singing, no jostling for food grains, its pity... Why people become so cruel? Can't anyone do anything?

Dirty Politics slayed by Supreme Court

2007-04-23T09:49:00.000-07:00

The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed the union government's petition seeking revival of 27 per cent reservations for other backward classes (OBC) students in centrally-funded higher educational institutions.

In a brief one-line order, a bench of Justices Arajit Pasayat and LS Panta dismissed the government plea and said: "We are not inclined to vary our March 29 order" - which suspended the law for caste-based quotas in educational institutions like the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs).

In a stinging remark, the bench observed, "You (are supposed to) frame the rule and then play the game. But here you are playing the game first and then framing the rule."

The matter will come up for final hearing in August.

So, its a slap on the face of the HRD minister Arjun Singh and our prime minister ManMohan Singh, who are again ready to divide our country on the basis of caste and creed.

Thanks to judiciary once again..

The Story of Tiny Frogs

2007-04-20T22:11:00.000-07:00

Life's lesson

There once was a bunch of tiny frogs,.. who arranged a running competition.
The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower .

A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants...

The race began...

Honestly: No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.

You heard statements such as:
"Oh, WAY too difficult!!
or
They will NEVER make it to the top."
or
"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"

The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one...
... Except for those who in a fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher...

The crowd continued to yell
"It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up...

...But ONE continued higher and higher and higher...
This one wouldn't give up!

At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower.
Except for the one tiny frog who after a big effort was the only one who reached the top!

THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?

A contestant asked the tiny frog how the one who succeeded had found the strength to reach the goal?

It turned out...
That the winner was DEAF!!!!

The wisdom of this story is:
Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic...
…cause they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you., the ones you have in your heart!

Always think of the power words have.
Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!

Therefore:
ALWAYS be… POSITIVE!

And above all:
Be DEAF when people tell YOU that YOU can not fulfil YOUR dreams!

Aish-Abhi Marriage

2007-04-19T21:19:00.000-07:00

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachhan's Marriage

It has become a hot news, even hotter than UP politics or crores of scams. Media is busy in coverage of Aish-Abhi Marriage. Our so called fast news channels are busy whole day at "Prateeksha", Amitabh's place, where function is being held.
They don't bother to cover anything else, no politics, no sports, no other piece of entertainment, no India, just Aishwarya and Abhishek.

You can see every moment of their functions (ladies sangeet, mehndi, now it will be marriage etc.) live at TV, but sorry, you won't be able to see what is going on in the country.

Yeah, this is the right time to do scandals and scams. Media will pay no attention towards these pretty small things, even if the scam involves crores of rupees, Aish-Abhi marriage is the most important.

I don't know why, but we people are so interested in these foolish gossips, what Aishwarya and Abhishek are going to wear today?, What functions are going on?, Is Salman coming or not?
All types of media are busy serving these foolish and gossipy news. News papers are 'using' their full pages for coverage.

Interestingly, another thought strikes my mind, are these media people serving us, what we require or is it just they need some coverage? It may be true that most of us are more interested in finding more about this hot marriage rather than looking on what is going in Supreme court about OBC reservation case or such other things.

Expression of Love

2007-04-18T08:27:00.000-07:00

I've heard somewhere that Love can't be expressed in words, but I feel that Love can be expressed if not by words then by actions...
Do you agree, when I say

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody
most of your French fries and pizza
without making them give you any of theirs."

"Love is when you two walk a mile
with hands in hands
instead of going on a brand new luxury car."

"Love is when you understand her
that how much she loves you
and how much she needs you,
without her even uttering a word."

"Love is when she brings you a cup of hot coffee
and caress your head with love, when you are tired."

"Love is when he hurts you.
And you get so mad but you don't yell
at him because you know it would hurt his feelings."

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy
and she takes a sip before giving it to him,
to make sure the taste is OK."

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt,
then he wears it everyday."

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne
and they go out and smell each other."

"Love is if you hold hands and sit beside each other in the cafeteria.
That means you're in love.
Otherwise, you can sit across from each other and be okay."

But
"Love is not love which alters with alteration"

Funny Telegrams

2007-04-15T22:38:00.000-07:00

Telegrams had always been a source of quick transfer of information, until telephones and mobiles came and replaced them.
But did you ever thought that this source of communication could sometimes be quite awkward and funny.
See some examples:

Telegram 1
A husband, while he is on a business trip to a hill station sends a telegram to his wife "I wish you were here."
The message received by wife, "I wish you were her."

Telegram 2
A wife with near maturing pregnancy goes to railway station to return to her husband.
At the reservation counter, while her turn came, it was the last ticket. Taking pity on a very old lady next to her in the queue, she offered her berth to the old lady and sent a telegram to her husband which reached as
"Shall be coming tomorrow, heavy rush in the train, gave birth to an old lady "

Telegram 3
A man from Agra went to Ajmer. His wife was in her parent's house in Delhi . When the man went to Ajmer, he asked his servant to send a telegram to his wife indicating about his trip
to Ajmer. He sent a telegram.

When the wife received the telegram, she fainted.
It was written "sethji 'aaj mar' gaye hai"

Dil Chahta Hain

2007-04-12T23:56:00.000-07:00

From my previous posts at Ibibo

You might have heard the ghazal sung by Jagjit Singh "Ye daulat bhi le lo, Ye shohrat bhi le lo
Bhale cheen lo mujhse meri jawani,
Magar Mujhko lauta do bachpan ka saawan,
woh kagaz ki kashti, woh baarish ka paani."

Its a heart touching ghazal, one of my favourites In continuation with the ghazal, just adding something tangy treat,

Dil Chahta hai, aaj phir choti ban jaun,
Roz subah subah chutti ke bahane banaun,
Aur assembly me aankhe khol ke prayer gaun,

Wo class me chupke chupke tiffin kholu,
Aur pakde jaane par pet dard ka jhooth bolu,
Din bhar school me masti marun,
Aur bus me juniors par rob jhadun,

Wo har din homework adhura rah jaye,
aur agle din meri copy ghar par rah jaye,

Har roz doston se ruth jaoon,
aur phir bhav kha ke maan jaoon.
Dil Chahta hai aaj phir choti ban jaun.

Has Tendulkar dishonoured National Flag?

2007-04-10T07:56:00.000-07:00

Sachin ready to chop Indian
pride

Controversies in the Indian Cricket are not coming to an end anyhow. The earlier controversies have not ended and a new controversy has begun.

Now Tendulkar is being courted again for the dishonour he has brought to nation?

Cricket is just like a religion in India. The sentiments of we, the Indians are so deeply rooted with Cricket that we couldn't tolerate India being out of world cup contest in the first stage itself. Now, a new controversy has arisen.

One of the Indian news sites has reported that Sachin has cut a tri-colour cake at a party hosted by a Non-Resident Indian in Jamaica just before the World Cup on March 10.

The photograph shows the icon of Indian Cricket ready to chop the tri colour cake in the form of Indian National Flag. Not even this, several other star players like M.S. Dhoni, Ajit Agarkar, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh and an Indian diplomat, the Indian High Commissioner to Jamaica, K L Agrawal were also present there and cheering and clapping the scene.

The website said that cutting of a cake bearing the colours of the Indian national flag was an insult under the Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Act, 2003.

Can we do this to our national pride?

Players can be forgiven for their poor show in the world cup, although, they were expected to do a lot, but what about nation's pride.

If the claims are true, can these cricket players can now be called "Heroes of India."

History shows, there had been several persons, who did not get their basic education, who did not have money to make them rich, did not have resources to make them stand, never had favourable conditions, still they were successful. Not just successful, several reached the pinnacle.

Isn't it amazing for those, who always blame the external factors for not getting the things right. Have we ever thought of it, what we really want to do?
Have you ever thought, whether you are really willing to achieve?

Probably not and here we lack.

Abraham Lincoln, Sachin Tendulkar, Rajendra Prasad and there are several others who fought and ultimately won.

All these great personalities had a rock solid will power and a positive outlook, which was never shaken by even strongest of the forces.
The question arises, how to develop or improve the positive attitude and strong will power?

I know its easy to say, but difficult to do, still we must try and work on it.

I can suggest just few tips, they can really work well.

Self Analysis: Everyday take out some time for yourself, at least 15-20 minutes. Analyse yourself. Identify your achievements and pitfalls of the day and the methods to improve upon them.
Take out time for good habits: Try to devote at least 30 minutes everyday for morning exercise or a brisk walk or meditation. This will help in developing positive attitude and strengthening your will power.
Set yourself an achievable, but difficult goal with a date for reaching it: Build yourself a willpower game around a particular goal. Perhaps it could be giving up sleep, losing a certain amount of weight, or reading a particular number of books. Organized events such as fun-runs are also good. But remember it should be achievable.
Try to ban yourself from putting anything off: Every day we get tasks which can be done immediately, but usually aren't. Good examples are paying the bills, emptying the dishwasher, or starting a college assignment. Try to curb these activities and start immediately.
Focus your efforts: Focussing sunlight on a paper may burn it within few seconds, although scattered light can never do it. The earlier in life you learn this simple fact, the more likely you will overcome everything that slows you down and prevents you from true success in everything you do.

and there's lots more, which has to be discussed in later posts...

Landmark Judgment in U.P.

2007-04-05T22:03:00.000-07:00

Allahabad High court has given its landmark judgment, in which Muslim communities can not be considered as religious minorities and will not be given benefit of minority community. According to the judgment, the population of muslims in Uttar Pradesh is more than 18%, and in few districts it is above 50%.

A landmark judgment, which was given on a writ petition filed by a Madarsa of Ghazipur district, challenging out of turn rant-in-aid to certain other minority institutions.

The petition was filed against government saying that while the grant was denied to the Noor-ul-Islam madrassa, there were so many other similar minority institutions receiving the same. Turning down the plea completely, Justice Srivastava questioned the very minority status of Muslims. A single judge bench of Justice S N Srivastava passed this order.
The judgement was just given, when the elections in U.P. are just a day ahead.

It is a slap on the faces of those political parties, who call themselves as 'secular' ones, although the things are not over yet. Mulayam Singh says that now his party will appeal against the decision, a new political drama is yet to begin.

Thanks to Judiciary system of India, at least someone powerful is still awake, first judgment of stay on reservation to OBC's in IIM, IIT's etc. and now this one.

Team India vs Chappell

2007-04-04T22:03:00.000-07:00

So, Finally Sachin Tendulkar and other Senior players have taken over Greg Chappell for letting them down (not for letting the country down).

Although, Sachin is a kind of person, who does not react to the comments so easily, but his silence broke off after reported comments by Guru Greg for the senior members. He says,"During my 17 years career, I've worked with so many coaches but none of them have pointed against my attitude towards cricket and ...."

Within few hours of that, news came that Greg Chappell has resigned from the post (If he would not have resigned, he would have been sacked)

In Greg's words, Team India has "absolutely no respect for the management" and that "they were too haughty to handle."
Further the senior players behave like "mafia" who are playing for own selves and do not allow the younger talent to flow in.
Ian Chappell added to the fire by saying that Sachin is now on the verge of decline and suggesting that he is playing now for himself.

Few days before, I came to know through my friend that during a discussion on a News channel, an Income tax commissioner made a statement that few of the players are taken in the team only because of the pressures of their sponsors (Big corporates). Hefty sums are being paid to BCCI members and the selectors for that. Shameful, if its true.

Kiran More added up,"Chappell is straight forward person and in India it is not liked." Now, what does that mean, our players are not able to confront the issues taken up by Chappell.

Instead of finding the solutions, everyone is busy in blaming others, Greg says, team does not support me. The players say,"He is trying to behave like a dictator."
No one is interested in finding solutions, Media is busy in raising up the issues again and again, BCCI trying to find excuses for India's loss.
But where is the solution? Is the situation going to continue like that?

They say Coach and the Captain will be changed, Are they sure, things will change then?
It was not only the coach and the captain, who lost, it was the Team who lost. They need a real thrashing for that. When C grade teams like Ireland and Bangladesh and enter super 8, India can not, just because every player is busy in politics and Advertisements.

Actually, Team India (at present) is not a team, it is a bunch of "individual" players, playing for their own records and own selves. Politics is an inherent part of BCCI as well as the Team. The situation is worsening instead of improving.

Lets Just wait and watch the outcomes of coming meeting of BCCI.

The Apple Tree

2007-04-03T02:43:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends, I read this story few years ago. It was so touching that I could never forget it. I earnestly request you to read this story thoroughly.

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday.
He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

Time went by... the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree everyday.

One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. "Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy.

"I am no longer a kid, I don't play around trees anymore." The boy replied,"I want toys. I need money to buy them."

"Sorry, but I don't have money... but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money."
The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily.

The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. "Come and play with me" the tree said. "I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?"

"Sorry, but I don't have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house."
So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me!" the tree said.
"I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?" "Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy."
So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years.
"Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you..." the tree said.
"I don't have teeth to bite" the boy replied.
"No more trunk for you to climb on".
"I am too old for that now" the boy said.

"I really can't give you anything... the only thing left is my dying roots" the tree said with tears.
"I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years." The boy replied.

"Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, Come sit down with me and rest." The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...

You might be thinking what it is, but the depth in the story is that it is a story of everyone of us.

The tree is our parents.
When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad...
When we grew up, we left them... only came to them when we needed something or when we were in trouble.

No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they can to make you happy.
You may think the boy was cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are in treating our parents.
May be some of us learn something from it.

Reservation, a political gimmick

2007-04-01T00:48:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, my blog friend, Sawal Guru posted an article on stay over implementation of 27% OBC reservation in Higher Educational Institutes like IIM and IIT. My this post is in that context.

This young child is not able to study, where are our those reservation supporters? Isn't it better to provide him basic primary education, so that he can at least be a responsible citizen.

Here, I'd like to narrate an old incident...

My friend's father is working for a pvt. firm since 15 years. He worked day and night, apart from his regular jobs, he did some part time jobs and anyhow after long struggle he collected 4-5 lakhs of rupees, so that he can now manage to pay fees for her daughter's medical entrance coaching and her fees etc. He spent around 2-3 lakhs for her coaching. She also worked a lot, although she was an average student, she worked really hard to get through the entrance examination.

When the result was declared, she was only few marks short of cut off and the a boy who secured around 30% less than her was selected, we all know why? And it was when he belonged to a family, which was not at all short of anything, they had money, bungalow, power...

Now those who support reservation, just tell me, who is being discriminated, a general class one or a scheduled class one.

We blame our forefathers of being unjust to lower caste, but:
Should present be punished because of past?
Is reservation in higher institutes a solution for their upliftment? Can't anything else be done?
Can't they be provided with better educational opportunities?
Can't they be given free education only so that those who are really good ones, may come forward?
Do you know how many of those reserved are able to even pass easily in those higher studies examinations? They stumble several times during their studies and few even leave in between.
There are many more questions, which are still answered.

In few organizations, reservation is as high as 49-51%. This is entirely a political stunt. Every now and then, communities coming on the road to include them under reserved category.
This fire has been lit up by our beloved politicians,(Our "beloved" minister Arjun Singh, who has started this again) which are no less than the British, rather I would say worse than them.

The British were dividing other people, but these politicians, they are following the same policy "Divide and Rule" on their own people. What for, lust of power, seat, vote banks?

We say in India, we follow "sam dharma sambhav". It seems good in words only, the actuality is worse. We are no less than a puppet in hands of politicians, who are busy filling their houses with money, let India go to...

The need of the hour is to get up as one identity and uproot those bloody politicians. This is not one hour or one day job, only a revolution can change it now. But, now we'll have to wake up from our sleep and not allow them to attack on our unity.

Here is a Joke on the same (posted by my blog friend Beekay)

Manmohan Singh to Bush – We are sending Indians to the moon next year.
Bush – Wow! How Many?
Manmohan Singh - 100
25 - OBC
25 - SC
20 - ST
5 - Handicapped
5 - Sports Persons
5 - Terrorist Affected
5 - Kashmiri Migrants
9 - Politicians
and if possible
1 – Astronnaut !!!!!

Yes this is a joke, But no one knows when such jokes became reality.

Feelings

2007-03-30T05:11:00.000-07:00

A soldier stationed in Afghanistan recently received a letter from his girlfriend back home. It read as follows:

Dear Ricky, I can no longer continue our relationship. The distance between us is just too great.

I must admit that I have cheated on you twice, since you've been gone, and it's not fair to either of us. I'm sorry. Please return the picture of me that I sent to you. Love,
Becky..............

The soldier, with hurt feelings, asked his fellow soldiers for any snapshots they could spare of their girlfriends, sisters or ex-girlfriends. In addition to the picture of Becky, Ricky included all the other pictures of the pretty gals he had collected from his buddies.

There were 57 photos in that envelope.... along with this note:

Dear Becky, I'm so sorry, but I can't quite remember who the hell you are.
Please take your picture from the pile, and send the rest back to me.
Take Care,
Ricky

Don't Quit

2007-03-29T08:56:00.000-07:00

Repeat post from Ibibo (with some changes)

When things go wrong, as they sometime will,
When the road you're trudging, seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit ...

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about.
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the Goal is nearer than,
it seems to a faint and faltering man.
Often the struggler has given up,
when he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown?

Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Did you know
A MOTORCYCLE CRASH 25 years ago changed AL FOXX from a healthy 19-year old to a person with a brain injury and partial paralysis. After years in rehabilitation, he went from being a hot tar roofer to becoming an extraordinary comic and a widely sought after speaker whose storytelling ability and contagious enthusiasm brings laughter and hope to audiences of all ages—from fortune 500 companies to universities, government agencies, churches, schools and comedy clubs. He is the founder and president of the Winners Don’t Quit Association.
So, don't quit, just give another try, and may be its all yours this time......

Attitude is everything

2007-03-28T03:01:00.000-07:00

Success, the word sounds so energetic and powerful, that it generally hides the surrounding words.

For what do we work? We do work to succeed, but does everyone attains success, why does it happen, that few reach the pinnacle, few remain where they are.

Its the matter of attitude, rather positive attitude.

You might ask, what is this attitude? I think that once we have accepted what lies within our thoughts, we can actually start working upon how we ‘want’ to look at that particular person, situation or thing, this is attitude.

You might have heard about the story of half filled glass. A glass is half filled with water, one person sees it as half empty and other person sees it as half full. Now, that optimism is matter of attitude.

Personally, I feel these may be the key points in developing positive attitude:

1. You must realize that opportunities are endless, the need is to have a look over them.

2. Focus your efforts. First decide, what are your goals and objectives then start working. Working without aim is a bird flying in air. You have to be like an arrow, which has to strike its aim.

3. Stop being competitive and start being creative. Interact more with people, don't be isolated and see everything from a neutral point of view.

4. Learn from failures. Accept failure as a part of life, don't take a failure as the end of the show. It was just one chapter, another chapter is yet to open. Every night is followed by dawn.

5. Stop complaining and start finding solutions. A solution to a problem will do better for you rather than problem itself.

Helen Keller has once said," When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."

Ultimately, positive thinking affects the body vibrations in a positive manner. This in turn, affects the vibrations around us, which, in turn, affect the situations around us. This helps in relieving our suffering and leading a harmonious life.

The Daffodils

It is one of my favourite poems

(written by William words worth)

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host of golden daffodils,

Beside the lake, beneath the trees

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:-

A Poet could not but be gay

In such a jocund company!

I gazed - and gazed - but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought.

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills

And dances with the daffodils.

Funny Cricket, Funny Players

2007-03-25T00:00:00.000-07:00

Although, we are almost out of the Cricket world cup tournament, still few hope that India may enter super 8, if Bangladesh loses to Bermuda.

Isn't it really funny, that for reaching Super Eight, we are relying more on Bermuda to beat Bangladesh and not on our own players, who have let us down. (Bermuda is more reliable,???)

In last few days, I've received few sms, just take a glance over them:

1. Sehwag ko "Mayur" pehnao,
Sachin ko "Pepsi" pilao,
Dravid me "Castrol" bharwao,
Dhoni ko "Brylcreem" lagwao
Ganguly ko "... chywanprash" khilwao
Yuvraj ko "Malai mar ke Lassi" pilao,

lekin "@%*^&)" ko Cricket mat khilao.

2. Dravid jaise "deshbakht" nahi chahte
Is desh ke logon ka time aur electricity barbaad ho,
isiliye "Desh ke Hit (benefit)" ke liye,
unhone apni jeet tyag di
aur wapas India laut rahe hain.

3. The Entire responsibility of India's loss in the first match against Bangladesh goes to "Mrs. Indira Gandhi",
She was the one, who created Bangladesh, hamare players ki "kya galti" hai.

4. You are cordially invited at the mundan ceremony of Indian Cricket team at India Gate. As a gift, don't forget to bring "broken chappals" and "rotten eggs".

5. Hamare cricket players ne Sri Lanka ke khilaaf 185 runs ki shaandar pari kheli aur 69 runs se haar kar, pehli flight se vapas India aane ki apni jagah pakki kar li.

The slogan "Ladega to Jeetega" truly fits on our Indian team. To win, you have to at least fight, which our players are unable to.

Actually, In my opinion, we ourselves are at fault. We take the game so close to heart that we become a part of it. When our team loses, we feel like everything's lost. When Sachin hits a century, we say "a lot of cricket is still left in him", on the next day when he gets out at duck, we say "he has ended up".

We think as media make us think. Actually, the problem in Indian Cricket team is lack of professionalism and attitude. See the difference between Indian players and Australian players at field, you'll understand. Although, Cricket is (rather should be) their first priority, they should concentrate more on cricket, their fielding is so poor that even Ireland may be considered better in fielding, running between the wickets is so slow, that instead of converting two's into three's they convert two's into one's.

Last but not the least, money is spoiling our team. They are getting too high emoluments, still running for money. You'll find them more on shooting sets than on playground.

Then, how could we ever imagine, that they are going to reach even super eight. Dravid accepts, "the way we played, we are not worthy of going into super eight."

But now, one thing is clear, anyone of us can play in international cricket, "duck" hi to banana hai... anyone can do it.

Sania Mirza, the hot star

2007-03-23T08:19:00.000-07:00

"Everyone dreams of playing Wimbledon and winning it. I am glad this dream came true for me so fast in my career. It feels great after so many years of struggle." -Sania Mirza

Sania Mirza, the hot, emerging talent in Indian sports. Tennis was never so popular in India before Sania's entry. Although Paes, Bhupathi and few others have always done a lot, still, Sania is known for her style, fashion, looks, sincerity and of course tennis.

Sania has always been a role model for women. What I've like about her that although she has been criticized several times by some community for her short dresses, she always remained calm maintaining her dignity and saying, its need of the game, which really is.

She was born on Nov.15, 1986 at Mumbai although brought up at Hyderabad
Strikingly, she is the first Indian to get into first 50 rankings by WTA and obviously the highest ranked female tennis player ever from India. She also became the first Indian woman to reach fourth round of Grand Slam Tournament at US Open 2005. In the same year, she also reached third round of Australian Open and also became the first Indian woman to win a WTA singles title in the Hyderabad Open finals.
At the 2006 Doha Asian Games, She won silver in women's singles and gold in mixed doubles with Laender Paes. She has still lot more to do, lot more to travel for India, for herself and obviously for all of us (her fans).

Mother Teresa

2007-03-21T21:09:00.000-07:00

"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.": Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa, a huminatarian figure, a nobel peace prize laureate, mother of helpless, unloved, uncared... (words feel short to describe her.

She was born in 1910 in Yugoslovakia as Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She joined the Sisters of Loreto in 1928. She took the name "Teresa" after St. Teresa of Lisieux, patroness of the Missionaries.

In 1948, she came across an almost half dead woman near Calcutta Hospital. She stayed with her, until she died and then decided to work for Indian women. In 1952, she laid the foundation of "Nirmal Hriday", where she cared for those who were dying because of leprosy, AIDS, or some other deadly disease.

Mother Teresa's Pics (CLICK)

She said that she found Jesus in all of them. For over 50 years, she worked with a cause, a devotion to help the poor and uncared ones. Her selfless help for the poor won her respect throughout the world and she was awarded Nobel Peaceprize in 1979.

Before her death in 1997, she suffered two heart attacks, one of which was severeand a pacemaker was installed. In 1996, she falled and broke her collarbone, suffered from severe malaria, chest infections and finally left all of us on March13,1997.

She was an angel in form of Human. She worked herself selflessly for those whom she didn't know and for those who were not even liked by others. She was a living saint. May she rest in peace.

Gandhigiri

2007-03-20T20:49:00.000-07:00

Gandhigiri, a new era, Thanks to Indian Cinema, specially Rajkumar Hirani, who worked out the concept so well that it really puts the principles of Mahatma Gandhi in a right perspective.

Most of us had forgotten the principles given Gandhi ji: Truth, non-violence, fight for justice, simplicity and lots more. Before this movie,"Lage Raho MunnaBhai", probably several people from us were unaware of Gandhian principles, probably never bothered to peep into those principles.

Would you be bold enough to stand up and accept your fault after losing all the money of your father in shares? Would you regret and then commit yourself? Here Gandhigiri teaches us the meaning of commitment, standing up and being bold enough to accept your mistake and agree to rectify it... Didn't your eyes got wet on that scene?

An official asking for bribe, put to shame by a retired schoolmaster by giving away all what he has, didn't you cheer for it loudly?

The film never goes preachy, never trying to teach us, instead it hits the mind as well as heart, making us feel shameful for what we are...

Gandhi has been a forgotten figure for most of us, before this movie. We learnt about Gandhi in our history textbooks. Some of us also saw Ben Kingsley play Gandhi in the Richard Attenborough movie. In schools, colleges, govt. departments, he had been a photograph only, now into limelight....

Every year, on 2nd october, some shows, plays are performed, documentaries released, articles and posts published. The day ends, everything finishes off and next day starts with something new in mind. Life carries on. Let's resolve, its not again this time. I'm not talking about others, but may be first I'll have to change myself too.

Transformation begins from yourself only... Bande me tha Dum, Vande Matarm

A smile can do wonders...

2007-03-18T22:03:00.000-07:00

Post from my previous blog
A smile can work out wonders,

A smile quiet the roaring thunders,

Smile is really infectious, spreads like flu,

If I give it to you, pass it to others too,

A sweet smile is worth a million,

which can make trillion from the billion,

So, when u feel pain, just smile and make others smile,

it is a diamond, which is really a worth while.

So, keep smiling and keep passing the

smiles, Every one of us needs it. (By: Aditi)

Tough times never last, but tough people do...

2007-03-18T21:43:00.000-07:00

"Tough times never last, but tough people do"

This is the title of one of my favourite books. It is one of the most inspiring books, I've ever read. The book was written by Robert Schuller.

Schuller beautifully describes that how an ordinary person can achieve success, despite several problems.

I'd like to mention few points regarding th..

1. Problems are a part of life, Every human being has problem and it is wrong to say that successful people don't have problems. A problem free life is an illusion only. So, accept the problems as a part of your life.
Schuller says,"Don't pray for an easy going life as it is not going to teach you something."

2. Every problem has a limited life span. Every mountain has a peak and every valley has a low point. Similarly, life has its ups and downs. No one is up all the time or down all the time. Problems do get resolved in the long term. They don't last forever.
Storms are followed by sunshine. Winter is followed by spring. Your problems will get resolved given enough time.

3. Every problem has positive outlook also like every coin has two faces. What we consider as a problem may be an opportunity to grow and move further. Every cloud has a silver lining.

4. Every problem make you better. Haven't you heard about it,"Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors." If you're fired from Job, then show your ex-bosses that they have been mistaken to fire you out, and the burning desire of achieving is still there in you.

5. You are the one who has to decide how problems affect you. Obviously you can control problems or the pain but you can control your reactions, your responses towards them. Let problems make you tougher not tender.

6. The road to success is not easy. Every successful person has faced several problems, that too several times, but he has come out of it and therefore he is successful.
We can also overcome any problem, obstacle, or adversity that life imposes on us – if we have a strong enough will. Where there is a will, there is a way.

So Friends, Just remember, the clouds of doubt will vanish away, you should be willing to fight away. The tougher the problem is, the tougher you become.

These so called Tigers succumbed to one of a very low ranking teams, "Bangladesh"...

Whatever excuses now the captain, Rahul Dravid or the Coach Greg Chapell give, they have made India down to knees in the first match of world cup that too against a weaker team... pathetic, it reflects what they were practicing till now, was it cricket or were they busy doing ads and attending functions and ceremonies....

Dravid may now blame his counterpart batsmen for poor performance, but whose team it was, it he who was reluctant to play Sehwag again and again despite his poor performance in last more than 25 matches...

This is what we call.. JACK....

Batsmen except Ganguly and Yuvraj falled like castle of cards, bowlers inefficient not able to take wickets or even control run rate...

Crores of fans of Indian team are disappointed, A team which can not beat even Bangladesh, will it able to grab world cup...

No way man... now, i doubt whether we will reach even super eight....

The Basic reason what I feel is that our players do not play for the country, most of them play for themselves... working on their records only.

If performance would have been the sole criteria, Ganguly would have been inside the team several months ago and Sehwag out, but sadly our players are more concerned with money and fame rather than game...

Thanks a lot Dear Cricketers for letting us down...
