Stand up as One!! As Indian !!

Its over !!
But its the beginning of a new fight with hatred, with enemies of India !!
Common man, intelligence, security infrastructure, politicians, bureaucrats and decision makers should take a lesson from this tragic and worst terrorist attack on India & its sovereignty.

I have been browsing through the News Channels & Web world. I am very sad & moved after watching the horror. We can’t imagine the trauma of the people who were trapped and lost their nearer & dearer.

I salute the martyrs from forces !! May their soul rest in peace !!
May God give strength to their families in this difficult time !!

Because of them you are reading this and i am writing this. I have seen people shaking hands & clicking pictures with commandos coming out of Nariman House. I have only seen it before with cricketers and celebrities. They deserve all the accolades & respect.
Ladies in front of Gateway of India, asking their children’s to touch the commando’s feet with the wish that they will be as strong grown up man as these commandos.
With all the disappointment from our politicians and bureaucrats, these man make you feel safe and make you believe in the forces.

There were cries in media & web world about war with Pakistan after these Mumbai attacks.
This will not help anybody but only help the enemies of peace.
If current elected Pak Govt has control over these extremist then there would not have been Matriot or Benajir death. There is a complex net of fanatic fundamentalist, army & intelligence. This hatred is the key to their very own survival. Only the strong & stable elected govt in Pak can help the world to end terror ghost. It will reduce the power of army & Islamic fundamentalist in Pak. This attack is to deestablize & weaken the relationship between elected democratic Pak Govt Pak & Indian Govt. To make things worse we have fanatics & fundamentalist this side of border who are only helping them with irrational & irresponsible comments. There were photos of martyrs all around with politician’s name written. Somebody ask them, if you want to salute & tribute their contribution then why to paste your & your party’s name on it.

Families of policeman did the right thing by denying money from People like Narendra Modi & Amar Singh. These are the people who ride the ladder of political success by spreading the politics of hatred.

Say it clear and say it loud!!

We are not looking up to these opportunist politician or weak politician like Shivraj Patil !! We need politicians like Sardar Patel, Indira Gandhi & Lal Bahadur Shastri.

We are the one who had executed the ONLY successful anti terror operation in the world against terrorism in Punjab This has happened with the help of locals & freedom to forces. We can implement the same across India. Make a special force or anti terror squad by recruiting the best among the best forces around India. We have “Jawans” who are ready to fight with courage, determination & bravery.

One can just imagine the unpreparedness of our security infrastructure. There is no NSG post or command in a city like Mumbai (the financial capital of India) which has been the main target of terrorism. With all due respect to them and their bravery, NSG arrived after around 8 hours of the first bullet fired. And the reasons coming in light are lazy bureaucrats, lack of political will & administrative delays. Will these guys take responsibility of this horrendous mistake?

This is the time we should Stand up as One!! As Indian !!

What are we waiting for?

What will be the latest excuse by our home minster for his incapability?
What will be the statement from our PM for his weakness in handling the terrorist?
Congress is worried about his vote bank in one particular community so they will not act even though somebody will come and hit the very root of our identity.
What worse than an attack at the very backbone of the financial capital of a nation who dream of becoming a financial super power.
Who will come to do business in a country where the 5 star hotel is attacked and taken hostage?
Are we living in Pakistan or Afghanistan where a loaded truck of RD-X blown up a hotel?
Will this picture of a burning 5 star hotel invite investor & foreigners to India?

What are you thinking Mr. Singh?

Are you waiting for ur ally Mr. Amar Singh to announce 10 Lakh to the family member of terrorist killed in today’s blast?

Are you going to provide legal aid to terrorist suspects?

Are you planning to place an commission to investigate if Mr. Karkare was killed by ATS itself and terrorist were innocent?
Shame on these Indian Politicians!!

This attack should be taken as a learning to have a strong & full majority govt in center.
Choose any Mulayam, Mayawati, Gowda and Karunanidhi etc for your state but but choose a majority govt in Center
At least don’t have a PM who can’t do a single thing without taking order from the Lady In charge.
I respect him for all his work in academics & finance but for sure he has not proved himself as good PM.
Don’t give excuses Mr. PM !!
You have failed to instill feeling of safety & has already loose the confidence of people.
Do we remember Indira of 71 or 84?

We have terrorist having good time in our jails, having food on the expanse of tax payers money (Few of them died today in an another terrorist attack) One fine day, few other terrorist will hijack a plane or kidnap daughter of a minister to ensure their friends safe release. Now he is free to plan & execute more attacks. Hopeless !!
I don’t know law but can somebody please explain why to keep these terrorist in prison for years?

Ground reality of Indian Politics is that end of the day a villager in the remote village or small town will vote for a regional party or politician. For him its about more electricity and subsidy on Agricultural Products, security for his caste & community from goons & rowdy guys of other caste. A decent job for his child in the nearby bank or school.
He will go and vote for TRS to get a separate Telegana State or to a Mayawati to more reservation.
Whats happening in Mumbai or Delhi or anywhere else doesn’t matter to him.

Relatives of people killed & injured in these blast or people who are reading or writing these blogs don’t go & vote.
Who is responsible for this failure & irresponsibility by Indian State?
WE !! The intellectuals & literate who are writing articles in newspapers & web sites, discussing these issues in a TV debate or breakfast table but don’t have courage to go in to the fields or motivate people for unity.
What next?

I am sorry for innocent people who killed in these blast.
May their soul rest in peace and God will give strength to their families to face the loss!!

Headache Yuvraj

Its a pathetic movie

I bet it must have been a big flop even if this have been made during “Ramayana Yug”

lets compare

Yaadein is 5 times better and Om Jai Jagdish is 10 times better than this

though i have not seen Apne but i am sure that portrayal of “Bhai Bhai ka pyar” must have been better in this movie. As per one of my fellow viewer, Apne is 100 times better than Yuvraj.

Don’t go by these critics who has got some bribe or may be threat to write positive about this movie.

there is nothing to talk about the movie.

My head is aching and i am writing this blog entry for social service and to warn my fellow friends about the torture given by this movie.

It starts with poorly written and badly acted “ghatia, sare & basi” dialogues between Katrina & Salman

You feel like pulling your hairs during few dialogues

Continue with family drama of few good & few bad guys in a joint family

Plot is a mixture of 100’s of movies made during 80s about the strength & flaws of Joint Family

Climax was so ill and full of idiocy that the poor & idiot villain, Mama of brothers, can’t get a good quality poison in Austria. After having it in his Asthma dose, Anil Kapoor survive for a full song which he himself sings. On top of it, Boman Irani, a cardiologist cure a poisoned man through heart surgery.

hahahaha

hehehhehe

hoohohhoohoh

woo hoo woo hoo wo ho

Why the hell i agreed to see the first day show of Subhash Ghai’s movie after a terrible experience of Yaadein

Most pathetic movie of this year

You can laugh on dialogues delivered by hero in Deshdrohi but you can only feel pity on Salman & Katrina for doing this movie

Looks like Boman Irani is in hurry to make more & more money for his future generations during his last days. Otherwise he can’t accept the roles like this.

Guys don’t go & watch this even if somebody is treating you

Even Boom is a better movie than this disaster

there are 2-3 god songs, nice and scenic locations (but we have Google Image search)

1or 2 well acted & touching scene

worst is Subhash & his choreographer fully destroyed the gorgeous Katrina

anybody remember “Jee Karda” from ‘Singh is King’

Flaws Flaws and Flaws

there is no end

Beware and think 1000000…….. before watching this

Hilarious Dostana

Continuing with the recently renewed habit of first day movie shows, today we saw ‘Dostana’

Its a laugh riot for the full first half and fun in the second half.

I don’t remember when did i laugh so much?

hummmm… I think when i saw Hera Pheri in 2000

My stomach was aching!!

Its a typical Karan Johar movie, story developed around friendship & love.

More about friendship than love but here we have a gay twist to make you gay (read merry )

I am not going to reveal the plot guys. Go and feel yourself

I guarantee, if you are the one who watch movies for entertainment then you will love it.

Don’t look for any message or sensibility about gay and their rights.

Everybody was laughing like anything.

it was nice watching this movie. You realize, how few decisions and circumstances land you in friendship & relationship which you will cherish for the life time? Yes they do fade when people move to different places, separate demographically & new people and friends arrive in your life. But , i think everybody relish those memories (one except it or not )

few scenes were very touching like

- John confess to Abhi & Priyanka about his affection for the friendship among them

- when John & Abhi realize Priyanka’s presence in their life

- the full climax scene and reaction of the lead actors on the situation

few funny scenes like:

- Abhi’s mom discovery about the Gay relationship

- Welcoming of John by Abhi’s mom

- Abhi’s Venice Story and the dancing scene on the tune of ‘Biri Jala Le‘ , these two scenes are real hilarious

as his previous productions Karan successfully able to strike a chord somewhere about Love Friendship and relationships

While driving back to home, John’s talk about his friendship & childhood dreams remind me of similar thoughts of mine. It was around few months after passing out of my Engg College. I used to curse myself for not studying enough for engg entrance exam and land up at that place. During my days of struggle, I used to feel sad about few failed dreams of mine . But after looking at few guys around, i said to myself that these guys are my best presents from the college, the friends, who are like family now.

Love You Guys

Will Miss U Dada

Once upon a time sometime in early 90’s, in a remote village in UP, a large gathering of people watching a cricket match under a big tent. It was erected specially for the final match between India & Pakistan at Sarjah. Its a Friday and India didn’t have good record in Sarjah . Those days Sachin love to go for 6’s and there were a large roar for every big one. Everybody was thinking Sachin will make it. TV & the Cable both were running on generators as in this small town electricity used to come only for few hours.

I was very young and watching this match hiding from my Grand Pa. He never liked me playing or watching this game. For him this was waste of time. Every now & then i see over my shoulder if any of my family member is around. Everybody was enjoying the match but a Waqar Yunis yorker lead to drop dead silence.

Sachin was moving towards Pavilion looking at his feets. Everybody said in the same voice:
“Ab kuch nanhi rakha hai match main. Aaj phir haar gaye. (There is nothing left in the match. We will loose again today )”

People start leaving the tent. But i stayed with few other die hard fans.

The owner of TV, Cable & Genrator waited for a while and after fall of few more wickets, he swich off everyhting. I had to leave and had to wait till next morning news paper for the result. As expected India lost the mathc and the cup. Fast Forward to Dhaka in 1998, India has lost most of the wicket but people were still watching the match.
We have a invertor and cable wala was using the genrator to broadcastr the live match for people wh has their own power backup. There were no improvement in electricity supply.
Tendulkar has gone long back but nobody left but the gethering increase as the match is progressing towards slog overs. People from near by houses and over the street joined together to watch the match. There is this left handed batsman who is blinking every now & then hitting Pakistani bowlers. The penultimate ball went for the 4 Inida won the match.

Not to mention the Lefty with blinikg eyes was Sourav Gangulay (Dada), the most successful indian captain. He hit brilliant 124 and lead to India’s won in the final.

It was only part of his glorious stint as Indian’s captain. He nurtured the young boys like his younger brothers and lead Indian team to its current stature in world cricket. He is a great warrior, fearless in his doing and true servant of the game.

This man converted Indian team from a one man team to a strong team of 11 fighters.
These guys got the courage to win anywhere and any team in the world.
He fighted with guts. He took us to World cup final in 2003 and start defeating teams to their own soil.

I was overwhelmed and my eyes were wet when Dhoni as a Fabulous farewell gesture asked Dada to captain the side for few overs. I wish if he could have bowled an over too.

8 years ago exactly on this day Ganguly had made his debut as the captain of India. The Man left the field doing what he did best all these years, leading Indian team for a win.

We all will miss you Dada!!

Good Luck for all your future endeavors.

Something about Shankhdhar

i have been searching about Shankhdhar’s and found two interesting sites

a) Articles from Nepal by Dr. Dirgha Raj Prasai and Bhuwan Lal Pradhan

b) A website dedicated to Shankhadhar Sakhwa

not sure my sirname and this ‘Sakhwa’ guy are related

had written to the Dr. Dirgha to know more

A lovely weekend

Last Friday, i came back early from the office for preparing a 11g Database Performance Training

but typical of me, lot of phone calls, test match highlights and finally a lovely & memorable late night (or early morning) phone call. This leads to no training and i think Friday evening is supposed to be fun and so it was

my friend Subhajeet and colleague has come come down to Bangaluru for a training

and me & Utpal (other colleague and good friend) have promised him for a visit to any tourist spot in Bangaluru on Saturday

i woke up late in the Saturday morning, thanks to my laziness, we shifted the trip to Sunday morning Nandi Hills Sun rise

not feeling to do anything, watched recently released hindi movie ‘Fashion’

nice movie and remind you “Why you should have your feet on the ground after touching the sky?”

this changed my mood and so called up Utpal & Subhajeet and planned for a great evening in the Blue Spice. I love this place !! On every Saturday evening, one can listen Live Ghazals and classical Hindi songs

best to spent a soothing evening, Utpal & Subh loved it

I called up Dada (Prashant Sir) and confirmed him that early morning we will go to Nandi Hills

I decided to stay at Dada’s place in the night and also convinced Utpal and Subh for the same

Me & Dada keep chating on number of issues and slept around 2 am

Anand was trying to sleep in hall with a on TV

Dada & he was arguing who is disturbing whom, our bakar or his TV ?

got up at 4 am, make everybody to rub their eyes and we were heading Nandi Hills around 04:40 am

again its Dada’s lovely Wagon R for us Dada was driving superbly (or sometime rashly)

he was on 110-120 km/hr and thinking of making it 140

Thanks to Almighty!! We survive a dangerous turn

People at the back seat were frightened and cried in a single voice “Sambhal Key!!”

typical of Dada ” Yaar ab main normal chalunga, jaise hi tez ho bata dena. Mujhe pata hi nanhi lag raha ki kab 120 ho ja rahi hai “

Dada sath hoon aur koi glitch na ho? we don’t have enough petrol and missed the petrol pump

no petrol pump till Nandi Hills and somehow we managed to get the 2 liter at the foot steps of hill from a small tea vendor

bought it for a price higher than market but didn’t use it because doubting of “Milabat”

Dada said “If require we will use it. Hopefully we will make it to the Petrol Pump while returning”

the ticket counter and the gate to the place opens at 6 am, long queue at the ticket window

hell lot of girls & boys with high voltage music on cars, few were drunk and dancing

Dada used his PR skills (BC) and we were among the first one to get the ticket and the First Group to reach the the Sun Rise Point

most of us have seen it in past but today it was a different feeling, from a vertical monolithic mountain

We were lucky and there were no fog or cloud sky clear (rarity at this place)

Sun rose with all its beauty!!

we were feeling as if we were driving the sun to earth, 7 horses of sun !!

oops!! we were 5

no problem! took the extra load with pleasure and bring the sun with 2 less

everybody started photo shoot and witin seconds place was crowded

Dada was displaying his bravery by going to dangerous spots and asking for a snap

all of us were in a bliss and forgot everything but the moment

Sun rise was inspiring and the cool wind was soothing

happy & enjoying, Kash ki Samay Ruk jaye

But, It didn’t

Anand wasn’t able to control and opened the breakfast packet

but nobody else is interested in eating, we roam around the place enjoying the beauty

‘Cute Bangali’ (Subh) was cool and calm, he was trying to take snaps in natural position of people, without giving any chance for a pose

We discovered a new photographer among us, Subh took some mind blowing snaps

roam around to view the scenery & scenic place

had our breakfast, and took rest until Suraj Devata keep showering His love upon us

by 9 am it started getting hot and wind is no longer chilling

we headed towards city and the best part is the drive back to city

It was a nice change from the day to day tensions and worries

It was all gloomy for most of the guys around, somebody

is on the verge of lay off

is not getting the hike or promotion with no communication if he will get or not

is fighting hard with his parents to marry his dream girl

has already told to quit for cost cutting and searching hard for alternate

has lost his saving in the share market

but the smiles & laughs during the return journey were showing the inspiration and happiness after seeing the beauty of Sun Rise

we forgot everything for few hours and had fun in the lap of nature

we took video shoot whcih reflects the everybody’s mood after a heavenly experience

Dada was at his best!! Full Bakar on everything

not to forget snap of the day ‘Illuminati symmetry’ by Anand

See the Snaps and the video which displays why Dada has always rocked the stage during the college days with his fluent & non stop bakar he can speak everything on anything adding charm to it

Cheers to Life !!
