Beat the Naxals ! Save the people!

In INDIA biggest is how to beat Naxalite, solution lies in why? even if you their point that its by certain section for their rights! we will find the solution! to make the truth come out in open even if they succeed...! the truth would stop the fighters we need to stop their brainwasher!
Naxalism/Naxalite is not that small incident of Naxalwari or band of Robin Hoods...they hv merged, colobrated and developed and lead by their communist ideologues! and its too tough too beat these leaders by development and talk... Give them a place to call their own and experiment their pseudo communist idea,,,is what they want....(this small group of leaders)

How can i say.. look at their modus operendi globally.. customise to india..
that what they do .. karl M for borderless religious lesswork...but everywhere..they try to make his borderless dream work by making new borders..

SOLUTION:
1) what we need to is cut the link b/w them and normal people..their pseudo leaders and brainwashed fighters should be separated....
2) development of course is necessary, it has to be done... point to be noted currently these people damage any sort of infrastructure! how would they support development like this
3)we need to make sure we spread the message across other parts we need it to tell it to them(fighters), that they are against themselves, people and developement..

Our approach is going wrong because of three reasons!
1)Government being unfocussed about lot of things! even doesn't do well what its focussed on! It need to become government on many scale and centre and state need to have common focus and no cat fights!
2)We are democratic country doest mean communism can do anything within demography! those who say are representing it should have moral duty to make sure India works!
3)Role and effectiveness of policing to increase!


..i hv lot to say..
hw ever if anyone of u feel we may discuss about things!




... pointsfor guessing how..

NUCLEAR LIABILITY BILL : or its accident incentive bill

Its strange that such a important bill for India which will effect lot of aspects electric power, FDI, jobs, technology AND ONE OF WORST ACCIDENT IN HISTORY OF MANKINDS IF A SINGLE THING GOES WRONG.

Sorry people as my exams are coming i dont have time to write in detail, but its a issue everyone should look into as if it goes on like this and if any unfortunate accident happen, however unlikely ..it would be worst mistakes of our life... and I feel its for us to spread awarness and ask government to pull of socks as govt across globe are like that ..:) they act on when public forces them too....

AS LIABILITY FIXED IN CASE OF NUCLEAR ACCIDENT IS JUST $458 million (Rs. 2,087 crore) is a meagre comparing to U.S. $10.5 billion or even very less globally, and its not the only fault with it among other things..but lets concentrate on it only as its one of the major point.


FIRST LET US THINK WHY GOVERNMENT IS SO RELAXED ABOUT LIABILITY:
as why the reason to keep them low i not understandable, as its not a gaurantee money which company has to deposit..more money in case of accident,..why its so low in india? something is fishy here..reasons could be:

1) Chernobyl disaster like russian nuclear power plant would not happened again:
exact count is not know due to form of govt thr however: The myth is that the deaths have run into the tens of thousands: even as high as 125,000 has been quoted. In 1991 the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was quoting 10,000 to 15,000 immediate deaths, without qualification.hhmm lets take west example .. Canada: Chalk River plant near Ottawa, Britain's Windscale nuclear complex , U.S. plant in Idaho Falls, suruga, Japan, Sosnovy Bor station near St. Petersburg, Russia,...long list

2) COMPANY ARE SACRED ENTITY WHO HAVE CARE FOR PEOPLE AND HAVE GOOD REGULATION AND
they have again forgotten UNION CARBIDE..bhopal gas tragedy, ENRON ... dhobal plant, SATYAM, CORPORATIONS end goes end.

3) INDIAN GOVERMENT IS VERY EFFICENT IN REGULATION AND RESTRICTS:
dont kid me... check your corruption ranking, red-tapism, back room deals,... long lisy

4) PUBLIC IS BUSY ... SURE IT IS....
JANTA SAB JANTI HAIN.... hhmm.. yea yea..not even debatable... its busy with khap panchayat, tiger disappearing, caste counting,female rights..child issues, quotas, cricket, earning bread.. COME on this would affect everyone and everything in INDIA... its a common issue...wen we can talk abt so many others and thn why not this so important common issue too

5) JUNGLE RAJ HAS GONE
what is this than ... ideal governance in best interest of people... I HEARD ENVIRONMENT MINSITRY IS GOOD... worst effect would be environment in case of accident.. then why isnt envoirment people talking.. MAY BE TALK IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO DIRECT RELATION TO BENEFITS ?? not effect..

6) MEDIA & OPPOSITION..???
even other systematic news to follow or feed.. in all big question mark..

7) INDIANS LEGAL AND POLICING SYSTEM IS STRONG TO PUNISH THE DEFAULTERS:
wow! at least not uptill now, we rarely find defaulters ...still not been able to give proper compensations in case which are well established.. BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY, ANSAL,.... i guess all indian know a lot abt it..

8) INDIA IS IN SUCH A DESPERATE TIMES that such a risk is worth taking:
but not even government isnt saying its a risk... its just a normal bill...:D

9) IS IT MYOPIA?
with so many educated representative and voices from all sectors... then why are they so short sighted OR why they are so ok with it? sab chalta hain par daal me kuch toh kala hain???

10)have companies asked them for favour... thn hv thy given a return too? without caring abt such a huge cost...????



ISSUE:

We understand that globally its accepted practise to have nuclear liability bill..
BUT what is unfathomable is how these criteria is decide in case of India and why its not on in line with compensations liability of same companies in their home countries...
GOVERNMENT SHOULD MAKE SURE LIABILITY IS SUCH THAT COMPANIES HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT SO THAT NO ACCIDENT HAPPENS, IS SHOULD DISCOURAGE NEGLIGENCE AND ENCOURAGE BEST SAFETY STANDARDS, KEEPING INTO MIND FACT THAT MOST COMPANY EXIST FOR PROFIT

IS INDIA GOVERNMENT RICH ENOUGH TO GIVE COMPENSATORY GAP... OR INDIA IS TECHNOLOGICAL MORE SUPRERIOR TO TACKLE EFFECT OF ACCIDENT or THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING OFF THE BORDERS OF INDIA SO INDIA NEED NOT CARE...
Lets us people make sure government act...if not then let it know we know


I WAS HOPEING THIS WOULD COME IN GLARE OF MEDIA AND PUBLIC BUT:

check these link, they have some data but may be biased:

is the bill in right direction

these are random note on the my thought about the real benefit, i have been able to coherently structure them here as of now
unsurity:
I am still unsure how long the bill will go in developing country! what we need is best people to become mps not depending on sex ,cast or faith, being a mp is not less thn being CEO of a big firm, and these positions should go to best deserving ones, In no way I mean am against women in parliament, i would love to see 50% of them there, but i cant understand ingenuity of quota system,the person who has worked most for people in particular area should get elected, the person who as vision and will to change the society for better.... we cant have quotas in this...
I guess founders of our constitution understood this thats why this provision wasnt made then... even when there was provision based on other criteria..
And now we live in a age where we can opt for better ways to do it ..quota system is out of time...its emotionally appealing. practically we can do these reforms with better methods.. in no way am against women in politics.. i would love to see equal representation by not by what of quotas.
we should understand the need uplift status of women in rural areas & indian homes and work on it, but this way, seems like a game-plan in bigger picture...rather we should law/quota for equal level male/female workforce of country,
but in the areas which are highly skilled like politics and business etc. there should be no reservations only programs and initiatives to help the weaker section(cast, sex or faith wise) to improve and get skilled to required level or otherwise general people would not get what they deserve...
yea i would also like to say it doesnt mean general people are getting what they deserve..but we should try to take step forward ..not backwards... lets focus on making everyone equal...in our struggle to remove biasses from society lets not make it let not become marketeers who play vote bank and emotional cards... rather than showing true statesmenhip by bringing in reforms that make everyone equal

....still working on it would complete soon***


i tired to ans last 4 points, even though wasnt abl to assimilate, thr intend
i guess i was trying last time to say that am for making women equal however do not understand the worth of quota system in the time like these..however if thy can achieve good i am happy as things wud be better...and all the while i was trying to have a discussion on looking at it from different perspective, however everyone is pushing there one agenda, which never has resulted in real progress, as what we sud be trying for is having best approach thn just following ideology or motives of activist to the hilt...

ideology backed by logic...sounds like real contradiction... if one is talking abt communist and democratic ideology or ideology of activity hereby meaning person hell bent on pursuit of specific goal n nothing else... as historical ths hv nt worded and will never do, as those intelligent sounding ppl, would always retrospection say either data was wrong, or implementation, or governance or the culture THEY ACCEPT THE MODEL WAS WRONG, THE EXPERIMENT WAS WRONG,
lets in this age shift are focus from ths one sided approaches to more evolving and ever changing approaches, aimming for common ground that is welfare for all!

whr does RBI and this part came in from i didnt get it, though am interest swarna if you elaborate.... in russia do ppl hv a choice more than India ... big question mark... here again i think i need to say I hv nothing against russia,
as for my choices it wud be pro india, and in my idea of india is pro humanitarian, thats what diversity is all about.

one more point, can some one tell me hw the law wud be implemented on land...has anyone thought abt issues thr..


am sad! you missed the point!
last time i was just talking abt being India
as for reservations thing my point was/is i am sure of the benefit to the nation as whole at the time we are in,
i am for development and equality of sex and if it does it i am in, however we are at very fragile socio-economic time, and i think we could have done it in better way
anyways.. i just wanted to discusses it, from different perspective as any move isnt only about achieve a certain motive, it also involves diverting resources and focus, and may sometime divert the current energy and determination...
hhmm.. i am hopeful that it would achieve its motives, and we will have holistic welfare!

my aim is just to seee India better, and as you say its diverse, it need diverse ideologies and methods, I cannt become better just be heeding to single sort of ideology no one has...

As for being Indian thing, i was talking about last time,
i can completely agree with you India is about diversity,
i thats what india is to me, its not abt one language, color, caste, sex, religion
but its about feeling a bond except for ths differences!
its abt working to create a unity, happiness and faith in the medley of so many different things....
thats what India is and has portrayed itself from ages!

As for political thing, nice to hear you have and experience and first hand knowledge, i am naive but would like to try to make this work better, however i firmly believe no one ideology as in left or right, communist or capitalist would help our nation, we need to have mix for them, we need to have publice private partnership.. as most of times certain ideological person are more after proving their ideology work rather thn making sure things are better in real terms

""what do u mean by INDIAN? thr is no such thing. it is just a politico geographical grouping.""
what are nations.........or geographical marked area,
its would of course be grouping,
till world becomes borderless we have to believe in them...
but things is being Indian means being for that that area,
being patriotic about it, thinking to make it better,
feeling part of it... working for making it better...
thats what being Indian is!
its been one of the oldest geographical grouping with oldest continuation civilization

I am still unsure how long the bill will go in developing country! what we need is best people to become mps not depending on sex ,cast or faith, being a mp is not less thn being CEO of a big firm, and these positions should go to best deserving ones, In no way I mean am against women in parliament, i would love to see 50% of them there, but i cant understand ingenuity of quota system,the person who has worked most for people in particular area should get elected, the person who as vision and will to change the society for better.... we cant have quotas in this...
I guess founders of our constitution understood this thats why this provision wasnt made then... even when there was provision based on other criteria..
And now we live in a age where we can opt for better ways to do it ..quota system is out of time...its emotionally appealing. practically we can do these reforms with better methods.. in no way am against women in politics.. i would love to see equal representation by not by what of quotas.
we should understand the need uplift status of women in rural areas & indian homes and work on it, but this way, seems like a game-plan in bigger picture...rather we should law/quota for equal level male/female workforce of country,

hey i guess ppl missed the point we i was saying..
1) i always want to have 50 % representation not for stats sake as we are equal in number and ability we sud have equal representation.
2) yea, true framer may have failed to visualise or their platter was full, and i would hv supported it thn, but now its arnd 60 years after that time... we should be working now on lifting people on economic bases nt class,caste, creed, sex & religion..though they apppeal much more...in politics sense
3) compared to societies of either iran or some-other nation, indian one is more dynamic in all respects not monolithic nor hv influence of religion in governance, oldest continuing civilization , and this is not a experiment which can be based on theories and experiences, its a case which should be thought abt in indian perspective
4) i am even aware of live examples of quota system in some places which helped in permanent increase in representation of women even after quotas were removed, and if that happens i am happy
6) i agree due to gender biased innuendo there are many men who do not justifiy where they are
5) i am saying mp's the the ceo of the respective constituency, lets make sure they are best persons to do job
6) what i am saying is when india is working hard to become vibrant and voters becoming more responsible... thr has been focus on good governance lately ....lets work on these stuffs...
7) a move like a new quota system could be a ploy to by our ""great"" political system to keep its in-efficiencies in place
8) i said at very first i am unsure, as most of people are madly runing after respective thr issues ... and with lot of marketing involved, its easy to miss bigger picture.. as its easy for some very intellegent people to play with masses with out even masses becoming aware of it

swarna if this is the step forward am with it as i said i am not against the end but means and its cost.... by the way i am ambiguous bcoz of am open to discussions and learning plus wanna knw different perspective.... as for coherent ideology ..they are good on paper only .. i have not seen one achieve its motive ever....
what i am looking for and want to working towards is rational thinking for betterment for society...its not about individul winning its about all of us living in better world..

Bigger Picture: A city is at standstill, A Nation isn't thinking, World Looks Away AND HUMANITY DIES

This is first time I am in pain when writing a article not because Bareilly has been in curfew for 14 days because of communal tensions but at the way how public, government and press is behaving on the issue. I am surprised by meekness of press, vanity of public and inactions of government. In this work I don't want to get into specifically this issue, which I am very much interested in, but would like to talk about bigger picture. Its easy to blame politicians for everything. Its easy put blame on religiously dogmatic people. But we should brood over it inside ourselves


It would be easy to understand the underline current driving our leaders or persons we blame for exploiting religion and sentiments of people by using work of Sigmund Freud out in action by Berney, his cousin, in social life as in marketing and public relations, quoting him "If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing about it? The recent practice of propaganda has proved that it is possible, at least up to a certain point and within certain limits." as he said in his book "propaganda".

It seems that some people had understood this intuitively or by experience, and they use it to there benefit or for their fundamentalist goals. Why is it that these people can get so much support when communal tensions arises, if we people weren't unintentionally and unknowing giving some sort of support, they wouldn't have been so successful and for so long.

Yea now a very genuine and much hyped question arises that general public doesn't support it, rather they condemn it. That waffles me, as no where we see condemnation on a scale we see support, generally. This can be illustrate by giving example from religions I have seen closely and that have been effected by communal tensions for so long. If in one religion, we talk about them eating a certain animals flesh, that would be expectable and there would be mass protest for the same, even can become a cause for revolt against as seen in first revolt for independence in India. The reason given for it would be sacrilege but disrupting peace would be classified as sacrilege to the extent of mass open protest, even when peace is integral to core of that religion.

By this example I am in no way going against any religion or saying its because of them. Its a reflection on our thinking if i can say that.

I just want to say some people have a knowledge advantage of what we can expect and support to some extent and they use it to exploit the masses. Masses should come to face of the truth that problem will be solved we all look inside ourselves, rather and blaming them.

Second time we have a chance to say Eureka

Eureka! I have found the solutions! Should I run from my room at four o clock just he did! Alas mine idea is even more unacceptable; in most part of earth I would not be able to run a meter before I become history! Therefore need for disclaimer: this is a humorous thought, please don’t consider it as writers aim in life or writer being ideologically related to it, this article is just extension of a dream at 4 o’clock in morning which was scary enough that writer could not sleep and had to pen is down on paper for readers to let them know how weird his dreams are and how far he may in the madness! Oh mention of the dream is just coincidental, writer didn’t see the light nor did any supernatural creator appear to his dismay! To go step further this article is not intend to be blasphemous or sacrilegious but as mentioned its random absurd thought!
Now to begin with I have found solution of the one of the oldest and currently fiercest even than most sacrosanct , the religion riddle which is the best, which has best fundamentals and which one is relevant in today’s dynamic environment and how to become peaceful about it. Lets blend modern information technologies and knowledge of how the market works to create Religion Exchange Markets linked across the world! A virtual market where people can buy its bonds/derivative/scribes based on speculation, which in turn would be based on a) market fundamentals majorly due to every religion calling it self best, spiritual and of peace * B) technical analysis based on data showing trends of various aspect of various religions, like following, stickiness, tipping point, areas of expertise etc.
How would and why it solve that problems:
1) Would provide a space to work for fundamentalist of various religions to work for the religion either spreading it or telling its message in peaceful way as if they try to create problem it would directly effect the value of the derivative in the market & plummet it.
2) It would give money and motive to aforementioned people who are at the core of problem creation
3) It would help general public as it say it wants, it would help it move away from what few soi-distant people tell to more informed world where knowledge of one’s religion would be at most.
4) It would convey fundamentalist that consumer is the king, so they will have to sober up their ways, that would make sure they move towards what all holy book say peace!
5) General public will would not be duped in longer run as information would be widely available and any deviation from what’s said in religion to what’s happening or what is professed it is, would lead to weakening of derivative
Why is not wrong and why its a great idea:
1) Its not sacrilegious! As most religion agree there is nothing wrong in educating about the religion, and this would be most practical and undeceived way! Not even once drop of blood will be droped, it would not be top down i.e. few people having knowledge as saying its the best!
2) Its not sacrilegious! Again! As in most religion its allowed to convert! So again it would help in conversion based on true facts and knowledge about religion!
3) Its not sacrilegious! As it would result in no black-marketing in this sector, this would reflect on market fundamentals!
4) It would help in generating employment and giving viable option to disguised unemployment in terrorism sector! As this would need any special expertise or education just awareness about religion and one can trade!
5) Would result in peaceful world may be even help this world become non-nuclear!

Why this is not possible:
They would say its blasphemous! Then they would think its sacrilegious! And that would result in last opportunity left to have this world with religious but tolerant & peaceful! :0

New Age Citizen

After years of not even thinking about the question, I was caught one the wrong foot when this question was popped up again and again not by any person but continuously by online forums like facebook and orkut! Finally after few years of ducking the answer , I had to ponder over it and realised:
Today I guess I have come to certain conclusion that at least in my regards the following for define me a lot:
The best line to start with would be "today we know price of everything and value of nothing" as famously said by Oscar Wilde. I am humanist at the core, nationalist for my country, democratic by nature, socialistic for capitalistic, capitalistic for communistic, welfarist for monopolistic, rustic, hardly bilingual, atheist believing in humanity who can relate to Hindu way of life. I would be happy if no one cries for freedom, none starves for food, there is no fight because of any religion, am not against rich but against the poverty, am not against believes but against illusions, am against hypocrisy, autocracy, ignorance and corruption.
I believe life is not a race but a journey & what we have with us is self so keep it humble & calm with principles & values, rest other things like money, power, intellect, support and enemies would come and go. Am a contradiction by any definition, dumb for intellectuals, warrior for certain goals, pacifist for warriors. I hate fundamentals of fundamentalist, morals of libertines, hypocrisies of general public & am lot many things about myself. I guess this is it, in bits & pieces about me, don't frown I may have made tall claims or even few errors. Suggestions & feedback are always welcome but no ideologies. :) spread smile not only by face but by actions.
I worry not only about my carbon footprints but also ethical footprints. I once only cared about blood diamonds but now I like to think about gas flaring too. Mahatma Gandhi inspire me so does Abraham Lincoln. I can imagine world without borders and pain for people from Sahara to India. I want to see a world as promise, if not that then as practically good as possible but not as the one which is now as a result of exploitation by few.
I know I lack the voice, however I too dream a dream. May be it may cause a change as a Chinese proverb says "A butterfly beating it wings in America can start a hurricane in China". Finally cutting long story short,about where & why are we today & how we would be where we want to be, I would like to quote Buddha “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.”

who is to be blamed!!!

why don't people talk more about people without food, more than billion starving people, why isn't today politics not about necessities! is food more important than nuclear power, inflation affecting rich, bailouts, religion, do we have a plan to sort it out... we hate politicians for tax they raise, we are never concerned for people who would never pay tax in their life....
Its not because of them but because of us.. the people .. we have become more hypocrite with time... what’s more important is self satisfactions and gratification of temporal whimsical needs formed by desires created by advertisement or achieving life of pleasure at any cost, we would sympathise more with crying beggar show in newspaper campaign but not with more than billion farmers living on less than dollar a day & paradoxically providing food for the world. We will cry foul when a major company is not pro-green but on micro scale do we do enough rather anything!
Let there be free trade but not as freakily as its happening now.
For example let’s talk about a Haiti: a country who is forced to eat clay cakes. Links below contains reference to its historical food production & population, thanks to bank trade (as free trade which leads one country from sufficiency to starvation just because some companies or countries can increase their bank balance).
The example above makes us believe its them ..unknown them, people who are at top, corporate or politician who just want money...BUT REALLY ITS US.... it’s us... As Sigmund Freud famously said “we are our desires”. We are running towards our personal desires and we are unconsciously blind toward any other thing or turn blind eye..
We make noise when there is bomb blast in our city, we make noise against bird flu so does we worry about rising prices, and these are the issues which are in our daily news live or paper.... isn’t it strange.... there is nothing about starving people, who are not even affected by inflation, people living under $2.5 a day, you may be thinking they are not many, you never see them... yea they are not too many just less then half of world population, around 2.6 billion. More than rich people you see on the earth, more than number of cars on this earth!!!!
They why are not they in news, why are we get to know about them, and even if we do why don’t we pay attention... because we aren’t interested... yea aren’t ... its not we don’t care for sorrows of other.. its just that we are little biased.. for feeling sad about something it has too be glamorised, dead of a pop star made our world moan but a nation surviving on clay biscuits was just a story! There is protection for luxury production industries of industrialising nations by branding & professing quality consciousness but free trade for localised food production without conscience & concerned for well to do farmers turning into starving liability for a country.
Am surprise when people say farmer shift from food crops to cash crops but they forget same nations also have advantage in cash crops too, it’s just market strategy, one move at a time. So Am surprised when Europe blames it on America, as hypocritical as general people...

bagia banchharam ki

had a nice evening yesterday day watching, Manoj Mitra's "Bagia Banchharam Ki", an evergreen comedy directed by Baharul Islam and translated in Hindi by Santwana Nigam. Presented by SRC Repertory at Sri Ram Center.
It was a unplanned treat, was at friends place when decided watch a play after a long time. Wasn't even sure how it would be, however a nice break was needed and risk paid off. the play was awesome, enjoyed every minute of it..
A thorough comedy, seemed like every character was veteran, one and half hours spend was better than few last movies i have watched. Dialogue delivery and direction was amazing.Everybody appreciated the act, each one of the audience was clapping after every 10 minutes.
It was unwinding and relaxing evening for me. The terrible headache was gone with in few minutes. Hope to catch more of them soon!

Indian Tricolor




The National Flag is a horizontal tricolour of deep saffron (kesaria) at the top, white in the middle and dark green at the bottom in equal proportion. The ratio of width of the flag to its length is two to three. In the centre of the white band is a navy-blue wheel which represents the chakra. Its design is that of the wheel which appears on the abacus of the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka. Its diameter approximates to the width of the white band and it has 24 spokes. The design of the National Flag was adopted by the Constituent Assembly of India on 22 July 1947.

Apart from non-statutory instructions issued by the Government from time to time, display of the National Flag is governed by the provisions of the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950 (No. 12 of 1950) and the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971 (No. 69 of 1971). The Flag Code of India, 2002 is an attempt to bring together all such laws, conventions, practices and instructions for the guidance and benefit of all concerned.



Flag Code

On 26th January 2002, the flag code was changed. After 52 years, the citizens of India are free to fly the Indian flag over their homes, offices and factories on any day. Except some basic rules to follow while flying the flags, all other restrictions have been removed. Now Indians can proudly display the national flag any where and any time.
Mohan, 12 Feb 2002

There are some rules and regulations upon how to fly the flag, based on the 26 January 2002 legislation. These include the following:

The Do's

1.The National Flag may be hoisted in educational institutions (schools, colleges, sports camps, scout camps, etc.) to inspire respect for the Flag. An oath of allegiance has been included in the flag hoisting in schools.
2.A member of public, a private organization or an educational institution may hoist/display the National Flag on all days and occasions, ceremonial or otherwise consistent with the dignity and honour of the National Flag.
3.Section 2 of the new code accepts the right of all private citizens to fly the flag on their premises.

The Don'ts
1.The flag cannot be used for communal gains, drapery, or clothes. As far as possible, it should be flown from sunrise to sunset, irrespective of the weather.
2.The flag cannot be intentionally allowed to touch the ground or the floor or trail in water. It cannot be draped over the hood, top, and sides or back of vehicles, trains, boats or aircraft.
3.No other flag or bunting can be placed higher than the flag. Also, no object, including flowers or garlands or emblems can be placed on or above the flag. The tricolour cannot be used as a festoon, rosette or bunting.

As of January 26th, many have already started hoisting the flags at their premises. This new flag code would not have been made possible if it weren't for one Indian, Naveen Jindal, who had been constantly been arguing/fighting against the government and for the citizen's right for the free hoisting of flags.

Confessions of regretful mind @ RVS

I don't know what to do laugh about them, feel guilty or regret confessing them. But any ways they have been part of me as have been few accidents. Yeah they were incident accidents as they then may have given me thrill or it was part of being part of bunch of friends or maybe excessive energy then didnt find right vent ...lol..
I may have forgotten few of them, in due course of time will forget more of them but was surprised :) that few people remember me by those incidents....


Lot has changed from then I feel like Saint now..lol.. seems like i have lived few lives in this life..
I think the idea of telling them myself was inspired after reading a book by someone I really admire, love and look-up to, someone if somehow has even iota of influence on me I would be honored and obliged for my life and feel like worth living a life. He is father of my nation, India, Mahatma Gandhi.

So here goes list Confessions of Era gone past:

1. inspired a guy to ledge a preacher of history in the place to answer natures call

2. bunked and bunked and bunked till bunks seemed like holidays and lost the thrill of bunking and started so young that when other started bunking i preferred to sit in class or sleep.

3. inspired and taught people to roll...lol ...

4. someone took me by surprise when i was leisurely taking from his property what is so abundant in place called Saudi.. to my grace there were few friends who saved the grace ..whatever was ... but to my chagrin few of my then friends may be remembering me by these incidents...

5. threatened a soi-disant preacher of a subject which i liked a lot until it was taught by him since then its been a pain... still curse you man... u added one more weakness to the long list.. but i feel happy to save others from falling into same trap, I got him fired... :)

6. something i truly regret was rare but so uncool and unworthy ...lol ... under the confluence of company or being to curious tried to be a peeping tom... :(

7.



THE LIST IS LONG WILL TAKE FEW DAYS TO COMPILE IT
thanks

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

Account of Ariel Tragedies in Indian Skies:
I am by saddened death of YSR, CM of Andra Pradesh, India. At this unfortunate time I am astounded at number of crisis in India skies specially Copter/helicopter Accidents and moreover number of them have brought demise to Indian National Congress popular leaders.

I have tried to put the list in chronological order with cause of accident and toll of death and profile of the main person

1. S Kumaramangalam, a Congress leader, died in a plane crash in 1973 near New Delhi. Not much info is available on this one.served as minister for steel and mines in the Indira Gandhi Cabinet till his death in a plane crash.

2. Sanjay Gandhi (December 14, 1946 – June 23, 1980) as per wikipedia -- air crash - near Safdarjung Airport in New Delhi - flying a new aircraft of the Delhi Flying club, and, while performing a loop over his Office, lost control and crashed - Captain Subhas Saxena was also killed - went up in his Pitts S-2A aerobatic biplane despite an explicit prohibition by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation mere weeks before the crash - he was not rated to pilot, the DGCA, Air Marshal (Retd.) J. Zaheer, DGCA had, earlier, censured Gandhi for illegally piloting a commercial plane (with passengers)."

3.Madhavrao Scindia (10 March 1945–30 September 2001)- his private secretary Rupinder Singh, four journalists - Anju Sharma (Hindustan Times), Sanjiv Sinha (Indian Express), Ranjan Jha (Aaj Tak TV channel) and Gopal Bisht (Aaj Tak). The plane was piloted by Raj Gautam.The chartered plane, a 10-seater Cessna C-90 - identifier VTE--F - owned by the Jindal Group, took off from Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi at 1249 hours. bad weather, coupled with a possible cloud burst, probably caused the crash -the aircraft caught fire in mid-air and crashed into a thicket near bhainsroli village, about 22 km from mainpuri

4. G.M.C. Balayogi (October 1, 1951 – March 3, 2002)- Bell 206 helicopter -- crashed in Kaikalur in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh on Sunday morning - An official probe established that the 2002 crash was caused when the pilot, unable to continue due to poor visibility and searching for an appropriate place to land, made an error of judgment by mistaking a pond to be a land surface. his personal assistant and the pilot died.went down into a pond after it developed technical snag and its blades hit an overhead wire.

5. O.P. Jindal (7th August 1930- 31st March 2005) Menghi village in Saharanpur district of Uttar Pradesh. Cause: Engine malfunction. Surendra Singh were killed when the chopper carrying them went down near Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh March 31, 2005.

6. Yeduguri Sandinti Rajasekhara Reddy (8 July 1949 – 2 September 2009) On September 2, 2009 Bell 430 helicopter carrying YSR went missing in the Nallamala forest area. On the morning of 3 September, 2009, helicopter was found crashed on top of Rudrakonda Hill, 40 nautical miles from Kurnool -- his special secretary P Subrahmanyam, chief security officer ASC Wesley, Group Captain SK Bhatia and Captain MS Reddy.

We can analysis it in different perspective but the aim of this blog was just give an account of incidences.

quotes @ RVS

1) Relationships and equations change...once they change thy can never be same...

2) Always run after your plans not dreams

3) Dream runners are only successful if thy are lucky but plan chaser are real gems their sucess is worth the effort..

4) I once said you are beautiful, that was a gross understatement ...

5) Nothing is more poisonous than tasting failure ..... success is the only elixir ..

6) live life or leave life

7)s it you who are in charge of yourself or is it your desires??? can you beat your desires and become self or you would lose to what Sigmund Freud said "we are out desires"

8)in time of so many names changes why cant we do a change in a nomenclature, which has over run its course and deserves to be changed for ages now! lets call humans animals and animals humans! it would justify there actions & morals, and would be a nice poetic justice

9) personal social responsibility

10) lets not towards any ideologies, but their common aim of human development!

Voltas of TATA deserves a Bata

If I was to name best Indian company it would definitely be TATA. I even admire all those great personalities who have run the show at TATA till now...
BUT when its come to there cooling system venture Voltas it becomes totally uncool... Sort of pity them... So evident theme of TATA value for money transforms only into junk for money...anything but value.. As i can remember one of their ad campaign says 'chota kare bade ka kaam' but as a matter of fact it should be 'voltas kare garmi se paresan'... & another one says 'apka koi sapna pura ho na ho apka AC ka sapna jaroor pura hoga' and it should better be 'apka kuch chale ya na chale apka AC nahi chalega'.
All of you must be wondering why am I sounding so bitter.. Its because recently we thought of trying Voltas for office (backstabbing Hitachi which is so dependable at home)...
India oldest AC brand... and got them thanks to their omnipresent ads these days... It wasn't even a week of usage that one of them stop cooling... Not a problem .. Lodged a complaint ... Their repairman came... thanks too him instead of being able to repair the faulty one... the working one... stoped too...
The trail just the begin... when we follow up...Voltas customer care was so amazing and busy, they would pick up the call ask you to wait, talk & laugh in background AND disconnect the calls... The process was repeated four times... till the Gentlemen had mercy on us only to inform that it would be looked into... When asked about his seniors the guy says they are on leave... Moreover he doesn't even have number of head-office.. and THE CALL GETS DISCONNECTED
I guess i have said enough... You wanna hear what happened next lemme know..."AGAR APKA SAB KUCH BHI CHALEGA TAB BHI APKA VOLTAS NAHI CHALEGA" lol

Moonwalk

King of Pop sadly is not with us anymore...
The guy whose life has as much turn as his break dance has had his final turn :-( ...Too be frank I wasn't ever fan of his or liked him though i was completed awed by his dance, music & stage presence.:-) Few Unscrupulous things disgraced him and that's why I am not a fan of his though in awe of his talent.. .

Anyways he left too soon he was just 50..was going to perform for the last time in London..and was coming up with the album ''this is it''... We all would miss you MJ...MAY U REST IN PEACE... AMEN!!
I think best thing about him was his Moonwalk...oh it captivates you.. Holds you.. Makes you smile.. Makes you move.. it was MJs signature...
And I love it for two reasons... one i have talked about above... And the second is its on my home-nickname MOON ....HAHAhehe.. Sounding hilarious...whatever... Thanks anyways MJ... Bless you...
In this week MJs death has been biggest news across globe ..its been talked even more than recession..bread & butter..sex..wars..oil or global warming... People who have never heard of him know him in death.. Fans who once would have got his pirated records and help him go bankrupt, are lighting candles, media which once made fun of him suddenly it has again made him hero from fallen hero thanks to media again...
Irony... I don't know how many people have thought about it.. but irony is there would be companies and people cashing on his death.. Music record companies who may be deliberately making it bigger news..benefactor who never cared about him... Life is strange..
MJ people love you here and you would always be remembered...
MOONwalk

Global Warming



Personally my biggest concern these days...
This year we have seen harshest of climate... Delayed monsoon in India.. Summer breaking mercury records... Glaciers melting at faster pace...rivers drying up...too much pollution, inefficient industries, negligible water treatment, no good ground water refill...
Where are we leading ourselves..

*Are those so famous cultures of world cant make people care about ecology
*Is the governments' only concern is inflation and recession so that it comes again in power
*Is our education only about earning money, how can people passed out of college ask such question as what can we do...tell us..
*Is it amusing for the rich, uncool for youth, not a matter of concern to the poor
*Are our elders only wanting us to respect them and not talk about sex
*Isn't it a issue for people living in ACs
*Isn't people without AC too contributing to it...
*If govt can control press, education, Rights, sexuality, alcohol, drugs Shouldn't it control ecology, pollution, hummer, deforestation too...
*Is it only for NGOs'
*Are we too forgetful to think about it in summer and laugh about it in the rains and forget in winters that whats waiting for us in summers

*ARE WE PLANING TO LEAVE EARTH IN YEARS TO COME!!!

We have seen........

We have seen the eyes,
With no tears but cries,
We have seen sighing heart,
but showing only smile,
We have seen the disgust,
With a faint laugh,
We have seen the hopeless pain of love,
With dieing hope of luck,
We have seen so much,
Then- Aslo We are without a feeling!!!!

Note: I dont think it came out well.. the first draft was so awesome in flow ..but damn this office system ..it got shut down...:-( ...

Angel

Angel,
Angel I am crazy, you may think
I put my arm around your shoulder
Run my fingers through your hair
It is a dream I cannot believe it
It is like a impossibility you never thought
It took so long it is only fair
And then the phone begins to ring
And a strangers voice on the other end of the line
I Say oh no, y cant he call up at other time
Friends trying to be more than friends in subtle ways,
Sweet Angel..when will you know
And i think to myself,
Why now,
Why me,
Angel, Angel

VV - Void Verve

existing as if deceased,
resting without peace,
laughing but displeased;

its heaven of boredom,
ghastly hell for grey matter shattered,
souless psyche – deathless demise;

downturn spiral,
specter of carcass,
inaction InAction INACTION !!!

Vacation Over -- Time time all the while but not a while to write...

the things were going at such a fast pace that i completely forgot that there was something like blogging too... I used to do not so long ago.... The thing I never missed all this time but the it struck me suddenly how can I discontinue blogging - my open book like myself .. always up to different interpretations and never constant - off balance & on the edge... just on -- the b/w black & white ..yeah GREY is the right word...
Realising I have disappointed myself for a change again... I would make sure I am writing more often... and seriously keep an "open log of my life".* *condition apply *wink
My deep apologies for not continuing it in past... it takes no time, zero maintenance and effortless and so constructive - however as always we are most careless about these small things which go a long way and then few lucky people earn money by writing about silliest of our negligence.
Enough for repenting, venting, moaning and shedding crocodile tears... almost on the verge of crying out loud that I have had my "tryst with Destiny" in broad daylight & office tubelight far after and away from Nehru's "tryst with Destiny", "now the time comes when" for me in some forgettable evening hour, I will write regularly. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when I step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a person, long suppressed, finds utterance.

Few line i really like too read:: (have taken inspiration for this blog)*
Read Below Extract from the Real Speech OF Nehru:
"Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity." -- Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964): Speech On the Granting of Indian Independence, August 14, 1947 - ( at midnight).

i cant turn away......

In all the presumed brightness,
i wasnt aware of the killing darkness;
Uptill i saw my dream,
which took me to madness;
Dream which itself has flickered,
but am still lingered;
Screaming to turn away,
trying to run away;
Falling into the bottomless pit,
I just see the blinking ray of dream;
But i cant TURN AWAY,
even when its taking me to madness;
I have been charmed by the dream,
in all presumed brightness.

Casus belli --- the Cause of the War

>

"be yourself imitation is SUICIDE"


Y waste time on imitating!
wen there so much new and
exciting to do!
Y fake others
when u can be proud YOU!
Y creep into someone else's skin
Wen it could be more terrifying than u can even think!
Y not discover
the truth inside YOU!
Than to commit suicide
by imitating a fool u never knew!

Reviews:

Only The Size Gets Smaller

Prize: If u can Guess the content of this blog.......i know many people may be getting weired ideas... but i don't thing u can get even close to it.....yeah its not bet but even i had to choose from various things i could have written under this title... from planets to ... what i m writing about....

Sorry i forget to mention Baseball's BALL ..deliberately... as i am myself not sure of its size....saw it only on T.V.....lol!!!
Have talked a lot about men's game ..... turn is now of GENTLEMAN'S game no prize for this...CRICKET of course...most popular game in this subcontinent....sum FYI will come back to our subcontinent again....
Sport which gave the i think most most stars in recent era...those who have global presence..n.. personality...TENNIS...a soft ball game......
yeah coming back to our subcontinent.......the game which INDIA gave to the world for change...HOCKEY' ball.....its another thing now that India is not in the nations which play HOCKEY best.......
Coming to ball which are struck by Stick how can we leave .....GOLF the class game...
played in woods.. nowadays played by Woods... who seems to be the only tiger in the woods.....
Then comes officially smallest ball...TABLE TENNIS BALL.....ping pong... ting- tong ..coming to the end.......thinking about rest....which I have left...
hhmmmm forgot to mention about oldest balls with mankind....
BALLS.....sorry could not write more..... enough is enough!!!!!!!

Hey smallest ball is still left....thinking that i m crazy... never mind...
truth is at last out.......smallest ball game is MARBLES... at least we Indians know about it.....

SO now you KNOW what changes in most of the sports,.... yeah the size of the ball and nothing else.....do u have doubt....i think you are bored enough....next time...I will try to keep it short....lol!!!!!!!!

Damn god It Was Monday.......(D'GIM)

Disclaimer : If anything or any word hurts you than please ignore it.. AND this is not my normal... its once in blue moon.. one offtrack day.. when every thing acts funny

Yeah most of the title is stolen from quite known and frequented place by many of us "thank god its Friday" or "TGIF" whatever way you prefer to call it. Lets not get in title and place because 'my title' may not go down well with many AND 'place' may get many folks hangover.

Getting to the main story, after nice weekend and late Sunday night ........Not even one thing is worth telling therefore i m writing (P.J.) my nightmare in broad daylight. Only one bad thing i knew beforehand was that i would have to wake up early as my flat partner had gone home AND Water supply people would not change their time as per mine....

Goosh!! I woke up early at quarter to 6... ..but but water ... water!!! there was none....waited for whole half an hour... till i could guess that it wouldn't be long that
I will need it for ........Wat to do next..... form ma third floor balcony i could see people... fetching water form a dieing tap....Bombay chawl style..... i too ran with buckets ...For 1st time in life had to carry all those buckets to such great heights 3rd floor.
its was A TASK to carry back those buckets to 3rd floor.......this is not the biggest one...

Mind you problems were just starting.......

Damn it, after that water thing i thought that was it, but there were many for the 'first in life things' in coming..i hope thy dnt repeat.....second terrible thing happened because Maid cum Cook....never came on Monday.. sucks !!!without breakfast...
hmmm ....who gives damn if flat is not swept once in week but without.. but empty stomach after that heavy duty bucket marathon....somehow... glass of doodh n Britannia fruitcake.. came to rescue but cook cum maid really made the day tough

hmmmm.......time for bath - no water - dry bath.....hahaha.....no more about it.....
except... it was on of the hottest day in Delhi ....mercury touching....45 Celsius
so u can imagine how terrible was feeling.....

.... the worst one is a yet to cum

time for office cab... on manic Monday morning........and I was happy I would get sum respite from hot weather n out of the blue troubles....but... sucks .. ma nemesis was not far away.......as soon as i got down from the cab....there was cramp in the right back side maybe because of that bucket carrying drill...from numb pain because of sprain it became overtook my right side N even moving computer mouse seemed like i was trying to move mountain.......even humble handshake.....made my hand...tremble and me grumble in pain....

that was not the last thing in store for me....as when I went back to my place there was no water... therefore cooler was no use...i didn't feel it much as compared to what a fun day has been, it was just a trifle...
like other days this too had to pass... n I was really relieved .....
It isn't that i had the toughest day on earth ,it's just that it was very different from normal lazy and fun day i have.
