Shame on Bangaloreans - Keep it up

Its really a matter of personal shame, just 50% around voter turnout in Bangalore.
I voted for the first time yesterday, the polling booth was very much near to my house, I voted, then I went again with 3-4 more close friends, we searched their names in the electoral list and they also voted there. I waited outside till they came out, was feeling very happy looking at the people outside in the queue. All kinds of people coming out there to exercise their franchise, very well-dressed, not-so-well-dressed, rich, poor, middle-class, physically disabled, college going, elderly folks, youngsters, corporates, everyone. I was feeling very good that people are taking an active step towards the responsibility. I was feeling somewhere in my heart that if this time the voter turnout goes to 65-70%, it would be so great of Youths, but it actually felt me very sad and shameful when I got to know that only 50% people have casted their vote.
I am getting no words for those who were enjoying sitting/relaxing at their home, roaming or just ignoring. Today's young generation out of which those who belong to corporate crowd, all days sit in AC buildings, roam around in luxury AC cars, eat the best of food, and pay 30% of their hard-earned money in taxes. Isn't it their responsibility to be a part of formation of world's largest democracy and make sure that the money is wisely spent?

- I would like to ask all of them who visits pubs and bars, have they casted their vote? If not, if next time there are any attacks on pub, you have no right to protest or blame anyone for it, you yourself are responsible.
- I would like to ask all of them who sent chaddi as a part of pink-chaddi campaign, did they vote?
- I would like to ask all who want freedom expressing their love, did you vote?
- I would like to ask girls who want to wear jeans and noodle straps, did you vote?
- I would like to ask all who want a good nightlife in bangalore, did you vote?
- I would like to ask all who want no more bomb-blasts, did you vote?
- I would like to ask all who want good roads, good public transport, and uninterrupted electricity supply and water, did you vote?
- I would like to ask all who are victim of reservation/quota or those who are not legitimate benefit of reservation, did you vote?

I think, answer to most of the questions will again be "NO" 51 or more %.

Are government ne chutti bhi diya tha, kya kiya uska, kha gaye kya, kya haalat hai yaar !!!

No worries, probably its actually not at all your fault who didn't vote. I amy be just over-reacting because I cannot be habitual of all these non-governance, let the people be habitual of being in dirt and jungle-raj.
Happy jungle-raaj and dirt to all of you who didn't vote. Keep up the good work.

But I feel to reserve some space on my blog-post to say a word of Thanks to all who exercised their franchise. Things doesn't end here for you too here, there is much more to do, its a start for a better India, better surroudings, better us and better generations to come. You also have to act on behalf of for your good and dear friends who didnt' vote.

Anyways, I end up here itself with a little of happiness that I voted for the first time, I voted for a change.

JAI HIND.

Kabhi kabhi mere dil main khayal aata hai

Random thoughts -
- I wonder why Innovative multiplex charges more than PVR on friday matinee show, whereas the quality is not at all comparable.
- No wonder a day will come very soon, Prabhakaran will be contesting India's election and Vaiko will be campaigning for him.
- We have not yet been able to do significant about Kasab's case, and Pakistan would have created a million more Kasab's in the same time.
- Election commision should ban Shivsena and MNS from contesting Parliamentary elections, they are not eligible for National level stuff, they should be only confined to maharashtra state.
- Why eZone in Bangalore is so much popular when they even don't have enough stock if people want to buy even in current economic times. [My personal experience about eZone is always "out of stock"].
- Varun Gandhi ne bola jo bola, are hum bhav kyun de rahe hai usko?
- We cannot witness Kashmir problem solution or Ram-mandir issue resolved in whole of our lifetime, because these kind of things are the main reason of existence of politicians in the country.
- Income tax records cannot go online for a long-long time in future, because if it goes, how will Income tax people make money and how will corrupt officials will save more money.


kabhi kabhi mere dil main khayal aata hai,
aise hi chal raha hai, aur,
koi ummed bhi nahi kuch acha hone ki,
badalna hai kuch to khud ko badalna hoga,
yeh corrupt politians to boodhe ho chuke,
ya ho jayenge,
magar aane wale samay main aur aise logo ko badhne se rokna hoga...

Jai Hind.

The reality behind threat to Varun Gandhi or any such identity

Have you ever thought, why we always hear threat from Bhai-world or LeT like terrorist organization to only Thakre, Advani, Varun Gandhi or anyone related to Hindutva. You must be thinking that these are core hindu fundamentatlist and bhai-world or Terror groups belong to muslim-fundamentalist, and so the enmity. You might probably need to re-think. The reality is a little strategic. Bhai-world or terror groups want to see India collapsing, destroyed and over. And these people like Thakre, Varun, Ashok Singhal, Bajrang Dal leaders, RSS leaders, VHP leaders are already into communalizing the nation and creating enmity between the Indians itself, thereby helping the enemies. So, logically terror groups should support them, isn't it? No, here comes another intelligent step, creating a threatening scenario for them will make Indian government provide high security to these fundamentalists. These will serve 2 purpose -
1. Waste Indian public's (hard-earned taxpayer's) money for providing security thus hitting indian economy and development.
2. To protect these fundamentalists from any internal attack (like "A Wednesday" or "Roo-ba-roo from RDB").

Its time for reality-check, we have to stand-up, check ourselves, understand all these correctly and create a environment of harmony between all the Indians.
We need to educate people who might get deviated listening to all these people's non-sense, we have to educate them.
"To aware" and "To educate" - only solution.

Jai Hind.

Dharm ki jai ho,
Adharm ka naash ho,

Bharat mata ki jai.

I knew it, yes I knew it, I was expecting this, and it did happen.

Sacked NCW member Nirmala Venkatesh joins BJP.
I have been waiting for this one, I knew this is going to happen, it didn't make me wait that long.
As soon as the news came out that Nirmala Venkatesh is being sacked, I told my friends that now just monitor her next steps, whomever she meets or joins, is the one from she got all khana-peena after mangalore pub attack. And the results is here, yes, she joined BJP. I didn't feel sad about it, as I was very much expecting this, media has made me sad but. There was a very small column in TOI this news is published. Media should have given broad coverage to this incident as they did when she came for reporting or when she gave her comments or when she was sacked. These kind of news if properly given coverage, gives the common-man (Janta) the correct image of people involved here.

Jab Jaago Tab Savera magar nahi Jaage to Ghana Andhera

Asato Ma Sad Gamaya;
Tamaso Ma Joytir Gamaya;
Mrityor Ma Amritam Gamaya;
Om Shantihi Shantihi Shantihi.

Means:
From the untruth, lead us to the Truth;
From darkness, lead us unto Light;
From death, lead us to Immortality;
Om peace, peace, peace.

I would like to ask each of you -

• Don't you feel bad when you pay one third of your hard-earned money to the government as taxes and you can't even get a safe and secure surrounding, let alone the comfort and luxury?
• Don't you feel helpless when RTO charges the maximum premium compared to anywhere in India but you don't have just-the-good roads to drive on?
• Don't you feel insecure and unsafe when religious places are attacked and minorities are being killed, burnt alive?
• Don't you feel sick of governance when these miscreants are out-of-range from law's so-called long hands?
• Don't you feel frustrated of same statements - "Law will take its own course" & "will not allow people to take law into their hands" and blah blah.
• Don't you still feel slave when you need permission for expressing love and enjoying life?
• Don't you feel cheated when promises are not fulfilled year after year, term after term when we have completed more than 60 years of our own democratic rule?
• Don't you feel enough of internal terrorist organizations like MNS, Ram Sene, Bajrang Dal, Durga Sena, Shiv Sena, SIMI and what not? We really need not bother about external threats, those are actually very minute in front of these.
• Don't you feel pestered of bribe and chai-paani in every government act?
• Don't you feel outcaste when politicians do caste based, region based, religion based vote policy?
• Don't you feel ashamed when we are still struggling with quota-factor, how can we progress towards developed nation?
• Don't you feel strange when prices once gone up don't come down inspite of inflation rate being 4 times low?
• Don't you feel wondering when we think all religion as one but still a lot of riots, blood bath and enmity between citizens?
• Don't you feel offended when people with criminal records, tainted background of murders and other heinous charges, contest elections and win also?
• Don't you feel like praising Americans when they seem to be deserving of developed nation?
• Don't you feel settling in America sometimes looking for a better lifestyle, atleast they don't differentiate humans?
• Don't you feel impossible to become a Developed nation and economically independent?
• Don't you feel securing the environment for the generations to come?

If you agree with atleast some of the statements even mentioned above,
Don't you think, its time to act?
Don't you think, its time to take charge?
Don't you think, its time to understand the responsiblity?
Don't you think, its time to participate?
Don't you think, its time to take a step?
Don't you think, its time to do your bit of effort?
Don't you think, its time to come forward?
Don't you think, its time to get inspired?
Don't you think, its time to get motivated?
Don't you think, its time to revolt?
Don't you think, its time to start another revolution?

And,
Don't you think, its time to VOTE?

We have to vote, we have to show them that we are not going to tolerate any more, common man has the power to change the mandate if government is not citizen friendly. Lets take a first step, become a part of it, and things will move on slowly. Its not only about a good governance, its also about responsible opposition, so think and select your candidate and VOTE.
