Hail Shahrukh

I am not the staunch supporter of IPL. I have no interest in the price tag which is stuck on the player being auctioned for IPL. I dont even understand, how can a meagre tournament can manage to insult a country by not picking up its player. I consider any country too sacred for this. But I believe in freedom of expression, no matter if its against my opinion, no matter if i am not able to comprehend that. Every Indians have right to express it without fear. I salute Shahkukh for his braveness and his tenacity through which he is firm on his belief. Because of fear of the goons of some particular party hundreds of artist are living in fear and compelled to give up thier voices and It has been happening for decades. It is time for change. Nobody can rule this country and countrymen undemocratically and snatch our fundamental right. These political parties should be banned for thier unconstitutional method and approach through which they are funtioning. This is the high time to show them the power of people. we should understand the hidden hate motive behind thier divisive policy, either it be a regional or communal agenda. Defeat them with thier own tool- vote bank. Hail Indians.

I, Me and Myself

How big is this universe and how tiny i am in this universe, just like a drop of water in ocean. When at first a beautiful, shining drop comes out of cloud, it looks so distinguished, so beautiful that it brightens the eyes of viewer. It feels so proud and valuable. It looks at the ocean and says stroutly that see I am coming to give you more meaning, value and enrichment. But once ocean embraces it , it gets a new meaning of life for itself inspite of changing the ocean’s. A wonderful feeling arouses inside it of being part of, no actually being something big, wonderful and meaningful. suddenly it realises the futileless of its ego in which it was grossed uptil now. The few drops who doesn’t realises this and continue to seek its identity, fall on sand, despite being unique for some time it looses its existence very soon, While an ocean continues to roar, and registering its existence at each moment with the help of each and every drop who cling to it affectionately. This world is like ocean whose ultimate aim is to live. It embraces all its people and gives them chance to flourish with it . It offers all kind of resource to its people to enjoy the life in peaceful manner like oceans offers to its drop. problems occurs when one think that one is different, special and more distinguish than others so it has more right on the resource of this mother earth than others. He continues to seek a seperate identity and falls like a polluted and poisonous drop in ocean. As the rule of nature he ceased to exist but in the mean time he also pollute this beautiful earth and consequence becomes dire. This is what, which has been happening since the civilisation of man. When a man initiate a action on behalf of ‘I’, his mind is full of ‘ME’ but unfortunately consequence is not only for ‘MYSELF’ which he envisaged. An instant gain resulted from his action might profit him for a tiny time being but that ultimately lead to his distruction. When a child arrive on this earth, he is so pure, stainless like a drop from cloud. but on its journey some retains its pureness and but sadly some succumbs to the dirtiness of surrounding which his/her precessedor left for him as the consequences of thier unviable desire. I wish to live like a pure drop in a pure and beautiful ocean, where my identity is defined by this almighty ocean. we wish to live and cherish the life for ours and want ourselves to dissolve in purity of this earth where there wont be any meaning for religion, caste, race and social status.

Towards the end of decade———————————

10 years or 1 decade seems a very small tiny number when we take account of 200000 years (200,000 years since humans started looking like they do today), but its a significant number in an indivisual human life. 21st century came with many promises of prosperity, development and human achievment. now its about to complete its 1st 10 year.Its not been much time since when i saw world entering in a new era,in a new millenium with my own surprised and full of dream eyes.The advent of 21st century brought much more surprises and anxieties with it. It stormed into our life like a missile and blew all of us with its surprises and unpredictibility.on the eve of 31st december, 1999 whole world gaped at the upcoming new century with anxiety of Y2K problem. It wasn’t enough, after trespassing Y2K gaint, we again found ourselves in tangled web of DOT COM bubble burst.people couldn’t even breathe properly after these problems, then came the gaint of gaint which shook whole world and changed the whole demography- 9/11.An unformidable foe, to which we Indians have already been fighting for around a decade, finally came face to face with whole world. suddenly world recognized that apart from hunger, mortality we have one more bigger probelm who doesn’t recognize any border, religion, caste or country — Terrorism. The after effect of 9/11 is known to every one, and its heat is being felt till now, it not anly changed the mentality of world super power but also manipulated many old alliances and resulted in new and unthinkable reliances. result of 9/11 was war on Afganistan and Iraq, because of which we saw elimination of taliban from Afganistan and accession of Hamid Karzai. also it led to fall of a Iron Man from world stage who continued to be a constant headache for world powers-Saddam Hussain,whole decade is so dynamic and vibrant that we hardly felt time gap between its start and coming end, but ofcourse we felt a scorching heat of it.year 2002 saw the advent of new currency EURO in the world economic stage, which is presumed to challenge the dominance of dollar.rest of the decade was also full of news with many terrorists attack on different places (Madrid, Bali) and natural devastation like tsunami, hurricane katrina, flood and many more. But final nail on the coffin was the approaching end of decade- year 2008.2008 brought unprecedented economic crisis, which was severest after 1930s depression era. recession started with fall of heavy weight Lehman brothers and it drowned almost whole world with its unstoppable tide. People panicked while share markets across whole world crashes and unemployment roses. Ultimately end of the 2008 , terrorism shown its brutal face to world throgh 26/11 Mumbai attack.But story does not complete here, 2009 brought a small ray of hope among us as economic shown some sign of recovery and the stimulus package by all government inverted the danger of upcoming depression. We failed at the front of environment protection as our govenment could not able to drew a deal out of Copenhagen at end of 2009, but our hope have not failed yet.this decade have also brought lots of hope. Accession of India at world economic and political front was particulary encouraging as it ensures that voice of around 1/6rd people of world will be better heard and it will lead us to a better, prosper and harmonious world. election of Barack Obama in America once again proved the power of people and power of democracy. Rise of google ensures an unpresendented flow of information, and every indivisual on this world now feels empowered with information which they needed.The end of decade is imminent, at the night of 31st december, 2009 12.01 pm we all will enter in another new decade. Despite of all turbulence of last decade hope is all time high. New decade will certainly bring us promise of a safe, green, prosper and beautiful world, If we take a resolution today that all of us as an indivisual will fullfill our duty towards our family, country, friends, earth, environment and all the inhabitant of this universe. A very happy new year to all of you. May this years brings you all happiness which you have desired for . Welcome 2010 .

Idiots, rebellious or brilliant- watch out

Hey you idiot, dont you have eye to see, how can you do things like that. You are a big idiot, hopeless to the core. There are endless idiots in our country which are constantly being snapped for thier idiocy. Idiots, which are failed to understand the system, idiots who listen to thier inner voice and failed to understand the society expectation imposed upon them, idiots who wants to feel and breathe in this dead system, idiots who want to achieve and want to break the deadlock, idiots who failed to understand that why its bad to have a simple desire- ‘happiness’. So, are our 3 idiots going to change the definition of ‘Idiot’.A strict professor, who values each minute of life, whose constant and diligent effort for 32 years has put his institution on the top of world, but what he failed to understand is a simple number- number of 32. instead of having all capability, he lacks a simple quality- flexibility. He failed to understand that what made him successful 32 years ago, needs to be amended according to this generation’s need, as time is also changing with each minutes of life, hence need of time too. so who is the idiot now, thats not for me to decide . ‘3 idiots’ imposed some serious question upon us. The movie( rarest of rare) embrace its audiences and let them flow with its current. very few Hindi movie indeed have capability to do so, so often we find ourselves choked with the weight of nonsenses which they try to impose upon us. The simple way, through which it try to tell us what it wants to convey, just blow all of us away. No hard and complicated emotions, no boredom, no complexity of meaningful movies, no subtle meaning hidden inside, for which we need to break our head or have to be too smart to understand that. It just makes us laugh and with that smiley and energetic face we understands everything. we find a different person inside us when we come out of theatre and we actually dont need any 1st jan to make a new resolution, we just simply know that time has come now. We instantly know, its we who are making our life so difficult for us with so many thing in our mind that before taking any steps we only see the things around us which we can loose. In this ‘our made’ life , in which we have everything to loose, very few to gain. At an instant we want to go to life , like Rancho, in which we have everything to gain , nothing to loose. where we have no fear, only have excitement to learn and to enlighten. We simply realises our passion and know that only by following it we can nurture our family, society, country and ultimately this universe. Ultimately we find ourselves. So friend, stop being an idiot or start being one (for you to decide). 3 idiots raju, farhaan and Rancho rocks, so do we :)……….

USA-an Angel or Demon

I am born in a country, in which i am taught to be proud on my country (for what, they never explain me). As an obedient kid i always followed that. I am born in a country, which started its journey as a socialist, who was supisious about anything realated to capitalism and always tried to find evil in that. I am born in a society in which people could, in a blink of eyes, term you as traitor, sycophant, blood sucker enemy of poor, if by mistake you mention the name of United State Of America in some good perspective. And as i said being a very faithful member of this society i always beleived that. I always saw government in askance if they took some friendly steps towards USA and always termed it as capitulating country to some superpower and catapulting us again in slavery. But friends , I am born in a country which also taught me to open your mind and come out of prejudices and shed some light on other side of fact, after all we are very few among in this world who can claim to have freedom of expression.United State of America- a country which became emblem of freedom, democracy, equality, human right and endless dream of millions. A country with very few hundreds years of history, but with splendid achievent in those few years. A country of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. USA was 1st discovered by Christopher Columbus(in 1493) but the 1st european to land in today’s known USA was Juan Ponce De leon (in 1513). It was later colonised by many country like Spain, Portugal, France, Russia and finaaly by British. America was initially inhabitated by the British people, but mostly by the indentured labour from Britain. Thats where sentiment of American differed from colonial and arisocrat British. Suppression and negligence infuriated the American and accutated the sense of longing to freedom and equality. So, when America aquired its freedom, it became the 1st modern democratic nation and from there it started its journey towards freedom, equality and prosperity. Though there were some backlashes like slavery, which resulted in civil war, but its never dies spirit did not let it to surrender its value and it continued its journey. It become the champion of people’s dream and example of USA encouraged many country to follow the suit. French Revolution is the radiant example of that. The foundation of country was laid by many great person in the history, among which Benjamin Franklin comes at front. Benjamin Franklin was one of the most innovationist and inventionist of the mankind history. His innovative ideas played a great role in laying the strong foundation of today’s known United States. The effort and idea of its forefather is what that drove this country towards greatness and keep effecting the future generations. This is 1st country in world which gave the mantra of, ‘Making money’ instead of aquiring it. People of America achieved and made money, they invented, they innovated, they made dollor they never seized it from any one. It is the 1st country which came out of its border and embrace all of those who have dream of making money, irrespective of thier race , nationality and gender. The list is never ending and can not be listed in this small blog. This is my tribute to all of those great American who by thier effort and instinct drove this world to a bright era from the dark. Good and bad always lies with any of great nations, all nations make mistake and US is not the exception. I love my country, because i am part of it. I respect United State of America because i am part of this world .

pathetic, outrageous, disappointing, ………………………………………………….

I am really at loss of word to describe my emotion. By seeing that, Whats happening in one particular state, I really started feeling that political parties can’t go more lower than this(but you never know they might dig up whole earth, 2*6378 km, to sink thier head more lower, despicable!!!!!!). One party leader, who think that he is above all constitution and all law, give commands or say- warning to all legislator to take oath in particular language otherwise they will have full right to create havoc and they wont be responsible for that because they have warned about that already. The matter here is not of having respect of any particular language or culture, which i am very much sure that they dont have any, matter is only to find a way to pull vote and let it be by any means. they cant think of real public problem,and how can they, its really not that easy. Doing a real work for public take much determination, time, strength which our leaders dont have. And why should they do it, when they can win vote just by spreading religionism, communilism, hatred between us. So who is the ultimate fool? When whole country is under the pressure of drought, downturn, increasing price , then our leaders are breaking each other’s head in assembly on the matter of language of oath being taken. How pityful, contemptuos? Who gave them right to take law in thier hand, but why I am asking this question. when they ever cared about the law and order. Golden rule is that more u break it, more the vote you get. So they always follow this golden rule. When they get expelled from legislation for thier extremely outrageous and uncultured behaviour, they get a heartdly welcome with garland from thier party as if they have just defied the British and help India to achieve something on which we could be proud of. Another day one another leader say something about another leader of being out of mind because of being aged. This create another havoc. How can anybody say anything about thier venerated leader? My question is when is his leader became such a nobel who cant be touched? God knows. even he cant be worshipped by all people, even he is subjected to criticism by many of us. But dont you dare to say anything about these so called venerated leader. What happen to tolerance of our leader? oops sorry why I am asking about thier tolerance, tolerance will not help sycophant like those to win the trust of thier nobel leader, who seems to enjoy thier god like position and bless us all. Bless India!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A tribute to Norman Borlaug:

Birth rate of world is 19.95 per year per 1000 total population. world population is around 6.7 billion. that means every year around 133 million is added to world population, so lets say that amount to around 9 Australian continent which is added to world population every year. My point here is not to show you some population bombardment which is happening on us every second, or to tell that death rate is around 8.23 deaths/1,000 population, which is around 55 million person each year. but to make you think that how many person among these 55 million, who vanishes from this world stage every year, leave their foot print behind them and ensure that 133-55=78 million(net remaining popoulation added to world in 1 year) people leave in peace on this beautiful world when they leave it. perhaps very few, but that few people only make a difference. Norman borlaug was one of these , ‘very few’. He died at 12 sep, 2009 at the age of 95, but before dying he saved more than 1 billion people from starving and ensured that this conitue even after his death. Norman Ernest Borlaug (March 25, 1914 – September 12, 2009)was an American agronomist, humanitarian, and Nobel Laureate who has been deemed the father of the Green Revolution. Borlaug received his Ph.D. in Plant Pathology and genetics from the University of Minnesota in 1942. He took up an agricultural research position in Mexico, where he developed semi-dwarf, high-yield, Disease-resistant wheat varieties. He is known as the father of green revolution in India. During 1960s, when food production in India was all time low and population was all time high, country men was on verge of being famished, then situation’s urgency made Dr. M.S. Swaminathan to make a request to government of India for arranging a visit of Borlaug to India. Norman Borlaug was working in Mexico, where he developed the new semi-dwarf, disease-resistant varieties wheat crops. That year, the harvest was six times larger than in 1944, the year Borlaug arrived in Mexico. Mexico had become fully self-sufficient in wheat production, and a net exporter of wheat. On request of Indian government he arrived India and suddenly the scenario is changed. The country which was shrugged off by world community as, over populated poor country who can not even feed itself, was tranformed into a world cereal house. Within 10 years of time India reached in condition to export grain to world community. That green revolution changed the India’s face forever on world stage. All this was made possible by Borlaug fervent detemination to make this world hunger free. He was the man who never differentaited between man based upon thier races, religion or nationality. Being an American , who was self sufficient and developed , he still overlooked from his country boundry and reach the nations who where still struggling with the basic problem like hunger, famine after getting thier independence. His contribution saved the world from going through greatest famine of centuries, and led to more research in genetic engineering. He got Nobel peace prize for his contibution in 1970 and was also awarded by Padma Vibhushan, India’s second highest civilian honour for a foreign citizen. His work and dedication will always drive us to look beyond our boundaries and lets hope that we would be able to make at least 1% of difference what he made to this world .

Nobel Prize-How much nobel?

Nobel Prize- Name itself bring a ripple in every country each year (especially in India, particularly if some person with far far connection with India gets it). Its a worlds most prestigious prize, given to the person in 6 distinct area related to science art and culture, and it brings a huge fortune plus recognition and respect for the person who gets it. So whats the conclusion? You are not good enough or your contribution to science or society is not valuable, if you dont get nobel prize. but never mind, a few month in Oval office can bring you the nobel peace prize, but not the 40 years of struggle for freedom that also through non-violent method. The man who taught the world real meaning of peace and non-violence, who shows them a new way to achieve thier rightful right other than violence was never thought as an eligible candidate. But forget about him, i dont think any award in this world is eligible to accolade him. He is larger than life and way above these petty awards.Reading the news of Mr. Obama getting the nobel peace prize in newspaper left my mouth wide agape, i dont think even Mr. Obama will blame me for this. I am a huge fan of him, but that doesn’t make me gasp the logic behind nobel prize committee. “Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics, a statement released by the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, lauding his vision of a world without nuclear weapons”- So vision is all which matter in getting prize. Hey even I keep this vision of great, green, peaceful, unified and prosperous world, Are you listening Mr. committee person?Give me the nobel peace prize . I deeply appreciate the Mr. Obama’s good intensions and his policy but i think even he must be as surprise as me upon this development. he has not achieved anything substanstial in his tenure yet. Afganistan is in much more worse condition, Iraq is still burning, on climate change he have not yet achieved any consensus for emission cut, Iran is still obstinate and relationship with them are still not improved, Isareal and palesteian issues are still as it was in Bush era. What he have done till now is talk, Not even 1% of those talk has been implemented yet. I would agree to the argument that let us give him time to realise these all dream, but shouldn’t nobel committee wait till the time when affect of these talks come into reality. Well these is already done and cant be undone so just lets hope that in future Nobel Prize committe doesn’t face shame because of thier decision and Mr. Obama keeps thier hope.This year Nobel Prize brought a uproar even in India. Guess why? Its not that difficult, reason is given at the 2nd line of this blog. 60 years of independence has gone but we still dont find a true Indian to cheer for. Hence our search is still on to find some person with international recognition who have a slight indian connection to be proud on ourselves. Nobel prize for chemistry to Tamil Nadu-born Venkatraman Ramakrishnan brought a huge euphoria in country and especially in Tamilnadu but after the remarks made by Dr Ramakrishnan against this euphoria brought another debate in country, this time about his insensitivity towards his native country. God, when will we grow up? It is Dr Ramakrishnan’s choice to belonging to place, if he doesn’t feel connected to countrymen’s emotion why should we enforce it upon him. He has done a very right thing to us, we should take the lesson. We never stopped applauding Laxmi Mittal(one time Britain’s richest man) as Indian, but his son Aditya clearly said that he is not an Indian but a British national and we should understand that he is not. He is as foreigner to us as Gorden Brown. So lets learn to treat Dr Ramakrishnan’s achievent as we treat his fellow Thomas E Steitz (US)’s and Ada E Yonath (Israel)’s, who also got nobel prize in chemistry. Its very rightly said by him instead of applauding him we should focus on science and hence creating a condusive environment for generating nobel lauterate, who is true Indian. Then only we can be really proud on our fellow country men’s achievement. So stop fussing over NRI’s achievements and accept the fact that they are not indian and please lets not enforce indianity over them, its thier choice lets respect that.

government austerity drive- a mere stunt?

Government is on austerity campaign and our media is on fierce campaign of finding hidden meaning behind it. We are so short of news and topics to discuss. There is only one topic is remain now- whether Rahul Gandhi’s journey from Delhi to Ludhiyana in Shatabdi express is an austerity measure or just a publicity stunt. Even some are busy in digging that after spending 39 years of lavish life Rahul Gandhi remembers austerity now, and so do Sonia ji. Some argue that, in this perilous time which is hit by drought, government should take some solid measure instead of this austerity stunt. For god sake, when we start seeing some goodness in government’s act. Ok, I agree that Pranav Mukherjee have Maharastra election in his mind (which might or might not be true), when he started this campaign, but my point is whats wrong in such kind of deed, atleast they are not murdering or rigging the poll to win election. India will become real and great democracy if all political party starts taking such kind of measure in order to win the election. I agree on 2nd point also that such kind of situation, where millions of people are on the verge of hunger because of drought, need great, solid action instead of such token gesture as austerity, but my point is, whats wrong in this gesture also, why to include it while asking government to take some solid measure. why cant we simply ask government to take action without mentioning thier austerity drive. Let them do both the things. Another point, may be Rahul Gandhi is living his life very lavishly till now, but whats wrong if he is taking some token measure for austerity. Is that harming us? No, not at all. Its possible that Rahul could not countinue his drive , but it might inspire milllions of indian to follow the austere life, and even if 10 of them embrace it, that stunt is also worth to perform . My last objection is on the publicity, which media is giving to this. Just stop publisizing it and see whether our politicians are still willing to follow it when nobody is watching them. Whatever the consequences or outcome of this auterity drive of government, but I am happy to see that something like this still come to our politicians mind, which is good sign for our democracy. Thumps up to Pranav Mukherjee..

JAI HO

So, one more year is being added to the India’s after independence history. What’s the conclusion? India is getting older or more matured? Of course very few evidence might suggest, us as being a mature nation but there are a lot more event which will certainly prove that we are getting old, with ample stubborn within us but very less degree of maturity. We are the nation of perfectionist. How can it possible to be anything wrong with us? if we are not able to achieve anything or living in some doom condition that’s all because of our government, police, bureaucracy, our neighbor, sometimes our teacher, boss and so many people. See how we can succeed if so many people are behind us, looking for a chance to pull us out of this life race, otherwise we are perfectionist. You would often find several people sitting on chaupal in Bihar, playing card and bragging about Bihari’s achievement and complaining about government. One day I encountered such people, they were boasting that biharis are at the top of each educational field. That amazed me, I asked but Bihar literacy rate is only 49%. The man got angry on me , he gave me example of some particular year in which one particular bihari was topper in IAS exam, he said proudly that it was bihari, none other else. Oh, man for god sake come out of this. I thought (I didn’t say him anything), what about the other 50-60 other IAS topper, they were certainly from the other state, so what’s special about this one. That’s the problem with people, they know the weakness is inside them, they try to hide it by showing the achievement of few people and by consoling themselves that they couldn’t achieve anything because of system, otherwise they would have been on the top of the world. This is not only the problem of Bihar, it’s ubiquitous everywhere in India. Take the example of print media; you might have seen videos which they run, when they talk about India’s achievement after independence. You will always see a few common people there, like Aishwarya Rai, Sachin Tendulkar, sometimes Kalpana Chawla, Amitabh Bacchan, sometimes Shahrukh Khan, Kapil Dev with world cup in hand and now Abhinav Bindra has also been included in this compact list. From my childhood I have been seeing these faces in video and I always wondered that whether India have so few achievers in its bucket and that also so unimportant to other part of world that they hardly even know them. These people are excellent people who have left a remarkable foot print on the particular area through which they are associated with. But in order to become a great country, a country needs to have a bunch of countless excellent people in each and every area. Think of America, a long list of people will come into your mind and because of these only it will take us at least a century to reach there, where America is sitting now, regardless of how much we brag about our achievements. It’s not that we don’t have talent or we lack of it, in fact we are the people who have actually been building the base on which country like America is flourishing. Truth is that we are still infected with the imperial mentality; we only get impressed with the object which glitters and are complacent that we have that few glittering object, who glitter in such an unfriendly environment which doesn’t let you glitter. That’s why we Indians are so great, Thumps up. Just look around you, you will get plethora of unsung talent, who are ready to take this country to next level. Some of them are even doing this. It’s not a Tendulkar, a Bacchan or a Rai who make the country; it’s actually those unsung heroes who help the country to achieve greatness. Of course these venerated people like Tendulkar are kind of beautiful flower in this big garden who adds extra beauty to this country’s garden, but few flowers don’t make the garden. It’s our duty to find more flower and beautify our garden, and if we could not find it then to produce it for our country garden. No forces in this world can stop us for doing this, because if there is a will then there is a way  . So stop bragging and being complacent, because it’s time to act. JAI HO
