This article is about the fragmentation of The united INDIA- the diversified land.The country that started its journey with fourteen member states, hashenceforthdoubled it in the path of progress.Still we greatly believe it is ‘the’ country with unity in diversity. This regional aspirations had added its part to the impediments posed by much more complexities such asreligious differences, poverty, illiteracy, corrupt government. I do believe division of land and federal system is much necessary for better governance and it aids effective administration.But everything is good only upto a limit. A fter that limit it leads tokick backs.
Today there is demand for more number of states on the pretext of development, negligence on part of governance, etc… But creation of new states is not the only solution. The creation of three new states- CHATHISGARH,JHARKAND and UTHARANCHAL has helped none of them. Rather it haspushed them on the verge of instability.Their separation from their parent state hasin no way helped them to move forward. Not much development has been made in any field. Thus not fulfilling the very reason for whichthey were formed. Because of the short sightedness of our political leaders and their opportunistic attitudecommon people has to suffer.
The recent TELANGANA movement is a living example ofthe shorsightedness of our so called leaders. Way back some five decades before itselfstates recognision committee had voted in favor of a separate telangana state. But bcz of some powerful congressmen in andhra assembly the report was rejected. As a result now there is hue and cry for telangana state demanding the very capital city of andhra. Thus leading to a chaotic situation.
All I can say is that the creation of new states for mere purpose of separate existance and to gain political advantage is the last thing to be done in thiscountry withmuch more serious things to be looked after. This new trend may lead to a chain reaction finally wrecking the country and its development. This ‘United We Stand, Divided We Move Forward ‘ attitude is not good fromthe whole country point of view. Further it will pose some serious problemsto kids in drawingthe frequently changing INDIA map.ha,ha
In the past twenty years many cricketers have come and gone, some good and some bad but one has stayed on and will do so for atleast 5 to 6 years more, that's Mr. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Not that there is no other batsman better than him there are many(Including me!!). One thing that sets Tendulkar apart is his behavior both on and off the field. For example have look at this pic, Dinesh Karthik, Yuvraj and Uthappa cant have enough of that girl! but Sachin has his sight on some other stuff(hopefully not on a more sexy girl!). Of course this does not make him great, this is just an instance why after 20 years people still call him "God of Cricket", certainly on field performance must have also helped.
Hope to see more of him. Wish him all the best for future.
Finally am trying my hand on stories, here it goes......
This is the story of six unfortunate young men who are on course for the journey of their lifetime. I will begin with introducing the characters of the story, The doctor(he is studying medical), the rebel(any trip is incomplete without his unique antics), the hero(self proclaimed although he doesn't look like one), the gentleman(to the core), hippo(for his love for water) and finally me.
As hippo wanted to visit some place with water this sunday and we have been to every such place in mysore, we asked our favorite guide google for- "the nearest beach to mysore", The answer was either mangalore or kannur in kerala. Since we wanted "more adventure " we chose the latter one, which is about 300 km from mysore. We managed to rope in four others and convinced them that the 600 km journey is quite possible in a day and somehow managed three bikes. All the planning(so called) was left to the doctor and the hippo, doctor was to lead us in the journey bcos his girlfriend is from kerala!!(wtf).
The D day arrived, me hippo and doctor left our house at 2 a.m and headed towards hero's house, as expected he was still on the bed and more over took half an hour to get ready. As we were moving towards rebels house a black cat passed our way(it is supposed to be unauspicious). I was traveling with doctor he asked me "do u believe in that" I said "ru kidding, no way". A few seconds later the fuel in our bike dried!! after abusing doctor we started pushing the bike to the only 24 hour petrol bunk in mysore which was about 2 km away. Finally all six of us got together at 3 am, after driving for one and a half hour we reached the Bandipur forest.
To our utter surprise the gates were closed and we came to know that the gates are closed during nights and will open only at 6!! After few rounds of cursing hippo and doctor for their accurate "planning" we spent the next hour or so just looking at each other!(believe me its not worth it, even if you are a gay!). The gates were opened and off we went. We spotted some deer on the way and took some snaps. One thing we were sure of, is that wild animals wouldn't walk on this road because the road was so pathetic that even animals wouldn't walk on them, but we humans are accustomed to adjustment. After 2-3 hours of driving we saw roads as smooth, as it can get. That indicated that we entered the "God's own Country". It was 11 in the morning and we had to still travel 3 more hours for Kannur!
As we were all hungry we visited one of the hotel there. we couldn't understand or even pronounce the stuff mentioned in the menu. As I looked around, everyone else were eating fish. Even the plates were in the shape of fish! we ordered something which our neighbor was eating which looked like dosa, but it wasn't. And it too tasted like fish!
The next 3 hour journey was best part of the day, the beautiful mountains and coffee plantation all around was a treat to watch. After reaching Kannur we had to take a decision, due to lack of time we had choose between the famous kannur fort and the beach, everyone voted for the fort but the hippo for obvious reasons favored the beach. A mini drama was staged in the middle of the national highway, ultimately hippo managed to convince everyone to head for beach.
It was an amazing beach, only disappointment is that I expected lots of bikini babes and I couldn't find any, not even guys. Only 6 of us, thats when I thought "darn man,wish I had been here with my dream girl rather than these guys". I put on my swimming trunk and jumped in to the ocean, ran as far as I can and started swimming madly and did I mention that I am a non swimmer! I looked back to see where others were, I was shocked to see that I came a bit too far, others were still on the beach, taking snaps. They took hundreds of pics as if there is no other day,in different poses and in different background. And I didn't want to miss out, so I ran back as if my back is on fire, and when I reached the beach they had packed the camera and kept it deep inside the bag! morons..
Just when I was thinking that the rebel is very quite today, probably he has learnt from his past mistakes, there comes a missile. He took his 200 cc bike and rode it on the water, it stopped, our gentleman(gm) used all his expertise and repaired the bike, it started and gm warned the rebel against doing it again. But as expected the rebel rode on water again. Now it wasn't moving an inch. I had just played for half an hour, that was it, the next 2 hours was spent on the bike as we had move back the same day. We tried all possible options but it wasn't fruitful. So we decided to stay back and come back the next morning. As we were looking for a suitable room to stay I realized that I had internals the next day!! I stated my helplessness to others, and all of them had two sweet words to say to me "f**k off". Although I hadn't studied anything I had to attend this one, because since I was absent for the test, this was a make shift test given only to me! Suddenly there came a call from doctor's house that he had to reach house by night and if he didn't they would throw him out of the house! So we both decided to come back leaving others there.
This was the most exiting part. We learnt that the bandipur forest would close at 9 pm. We had exactly 4 hours left. A traffic police gave us a route which was supposed to be shorter and would have nice roads. As we started a cat passed our way. We both looked at each other and didnt utter a word this time! We drove as if our life is at stake, we didn't even stop to take a leak, it was dark and there were no street lights. Our speed was such that even Lewis Hamilton would have been put to shame!We reached the Karnataka check post and looked at the watch.
It was 9.30. We thought, we are dead there's no rooms near by and we are just dead. A forest official came to us and said "you are late, I cant leave you in. having said that you look like decent guys if you give 100 bucks I will let you in"!! We paid him and entered the forest. After about 2 km we saw something unimaginable, two big elephants in the middle of the road!(wish we had gone on the bad road) Doctor was riding the bike he thought of having some fun and focused the light on the elephants and was switching it on and off(fun! my foot). One of the elephant got agitated and started to run towards us. We turned the bike back and moved as fast as we can and me sitting behind turned to see how far we are from the tusker. It was right behind us about 5 feet with its trunk held high in the air. I bowed my head down, this would have been my last moments alive. I thought of my 'life', all that I have done in these 20 years is play fifa and watch movies! I came to a conclusion that "It was a life well spent!".
After few minutes I turned back to see the tusker it had disappeared, it just wanted to chase us away. As we neared the check post there was another elephant on the road, but this was an infant, we feared his parents would be near by and turned the bike and stopped in between the two elephants, with our hands on the head and we didnt even dare to breathe loudly let alone talking. Just when we had bad thoughts, there came a lorry, that was heading towards Kerala. We traveled the remaining 1 km stretch to the check post hiding ourselves behind the truck. We somehow managed reach the check post and slept the whole night with the watchman(fortunately he wasn't gay).Came back to Mysore the next day morning, My lecturer was kind enough to postpone the test once again. And doctor was in fact thrown out of his house.
Others left Kannur next day morning itself and reached Mysore by noon. It was one hell of a journey. But was it worth to travel so far and face so much difficulties just to play in water for 30 minutes? All I can say is "I have seen better days".
A 7-year-old boy was at the centre of a grimsby courtroom drama today when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him.
The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.
The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.
After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to Arsenal football club, whom the boy firmly believes are incapable of beating anyone.
Hope is a ray of light in the dark den; Its the wings to a feetless bird; Its the best weapon in a warrior's armour; And a noble thing in an intellectual's mind.
Hope is a leaf to an ant in river, Which is a ferry during floods; Its a pole star to a sailor, Which shows the destiny when the path is lost.
Hope is a spring that pushes when we are stopped; And the propelling force when we are on march. Its the twilight that fiils sky before the moonlight. And the preface to a success story.
Hope sees me through the winter and summer; Its a guide in desert and dense forest; It gives me company when everyone denies it; Yet it never hope for my single penny.
After wasting tons of my time on facebook using some nonsense applications, finally I managed to make some time for this. This is the list of my favorite movie.
A Beautiful Mind - This is probably only movie in the world for which Rajiv masand would give a 5 star. Amazing acting by Russell Crowe and Ed Harris. Whats more starling is that its based on a true story. Although I like all of the Ron Howard movies this one is a masterpiece. Music is as good as it can be.
The Departed - I hate multi starers , this one is not like one of those typical multi starter films in which some actors are shown just because they dont want to be seen as supporting actors. This movie has more twists and turns than a F1 track quite literally, and ofcourse its famous for the use of the word "f**k". Matt Damon standouts with amazing acting. If Jack Nicholson had to describe this movie he would say -"Fu*king Good Movie".
Forrest Gump - "When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go, you know, I went" its as simple as that. Being a big fan of Tom Hanks all I can say is, this is his best. Every single dialogue in the movie is memorable. I hope one day my luck will run like Gump's.
Million Dollar Baby - Its a movie where the heroine is not there just to show her skin. Powerful acting by Freeman, Clint and Hillary Swank. One wonders how a 80 year old boy still continues to act and direct movie like this. Swank is impressive in this. It truly deserves its multiple oscars.
Batman Begins - I have never seen a Batman cartoon, I always hated him because he didn't have any of those fancy super powers, only thing he has is money. The movie changed my perception. Bruce wayne and Gotham city were fantastic. Christopher Nolan is a class act all his movies are real good, had a hard time choosing between dark night, memento and prestige.
Films sadly I couldn't select Godfather, pirates and bourne triolygy, all other Tom Hanks movies. Hindi movie like Satya and Gulaal.
My inspiration to write this after a very long time is Yasser Arafat. I was really surprised to learn that Mr Yasser is a noble laureate, and of all the category he has been awarded noble for contribution to world peace!! What I dont understand is, a man who headed one of the worlds most ruthless terrorist organization, how on earth can he win a noble prize for peace?! The reason given for this selection was that he 'brokered' a peace deal with Isreal in an agreement. I agree that some of his decisions were path breaking but what about that brutal killings undertaken by PLO in the past, doesn't it count for much??
This brings us to the obvious question 'why was M.K Gandhi denied the Noble?'. He was the global ambassador for peace, I cant think of any human being who devoted his life for non violence. Although he was nominated five times, the Noble committee members never found him worth of giving this award. I visited the official website of the awards and they were brave enough to write about their mistakes. In one of their article they have explained the possible reason for this miss. I was really surprised by reading those reasons. In the early part of the 19th century Europeans considered Indians 'worth for nothing!'(It hasn't changed much). If they had given him the price they would have taken on the mighty British empire, they obviously didn't want to commit this foolishness. Another possible reason given was that he did his work for his own country not for the world!! Most ridiculous of all is in 1947, he wasn't awarded because he was not against the 'setting up of armed forces for independent India'! Without the military force how will a country function?!
Nevertheless he was almost certain to receive it in 1948, but unfortunately he was killed two days before the nomination! Serious consideration were made to give it posthumous for the first time, but later it was dismissed. If one see's the list of people who have wont it, he will definitely feel the absence of the great Mahatma. More than Gandhi deserving Noble, it was the Noble peace prize which deserved Mahatma Gandhi.
Its raining in the sky; Its raining in my heart. Cleansing everything on its way; From dust in air to those in my soul.
Its striking green, everywhere; As if the angel of prosper has descended. Growing the golden grains everywhere; In the fields & in my heart.
Streams are flowing with a glitter; To join the ever widening river. Sinking the heavy stones & elevating the waves of joy; In its flow & in my thoughts.
Rainbow springs up in the sky; To have a glimpse of shower from the heaven. Scattering cheerful & joyful colours; In the sky & in my mind.
Soil chilled by the cold breeze &; Drowned by the eternal downpour; Spreads the mesmerizing aroma; In the beautiful garden of my life.
The fourteenth Lok Sabha came to an end recently and its election time in India now. Its also the timewhen many people get to make money. No I am not talking about that today I would like to write aboutthe mp’s whom we elected the last term.
Honorablespeaker of lok sabha Somanth Chatarjee initiated a nation wide debate by questioning the dedication and sincerity of our MP’s.The Indian media as always was waiting on theirtoe’s to someone making controversial statements. The stats of our legislatures were flashed all over the media.That itself is enough to cause embarrassment to any Indian citizen.Initially we had 10 of our Mp’s being dismissed for taking money for raising question in the house!! DISGUSTING… then 5 other members were suspended because the money given to them for the welfare of people was used by them for their own interest!!!...One can guess only these 5 unlucky guys got caught up ,others didn’t… then there was hell lot of money being spilled all over the floor of the house in ‘money for vote scandal’ !! later the case was investigated and no one was held responsible!!(yes you are free to make your guesses)..
Memberslike Darmendra and our own mandya’s boy Ambreesh didn’t even attend a single session of the house! Don’t think one who has attented all of those is a noble person. U R Anthulle has 99% attendence! And he embarrassed the Indian government by saying the terrorist Kasav is from India! Not that this is a new found habit of our beloved leaders. They have history of indecent acts to their name. In Tamil Nadu Jayalalitha was molested in the house itself!! Havn’t we seen footwear’s and stones being hurled at the speaker. All these things happens because half of the people sitting there are criminals, so now its in your hand to send a better person to represent you and your constituency.
It cant get worse than this ,lets hope from next term they would stop behaving like animals and start thinking about the development of the country.Is it a too much of a ask from them??
