Its a long time, I have not written any post, and today just thought of writing one.
When I was about to write, I just saw the last-posted date, its exactly 3 months, and I am writing after a so long.
After the last post, got busy with some personal engagements, then some profession engagements and then was not feeling to write from some time.
From last few weeks before, I am keeping myself active on RTI India forum and PRAJA, and following is the one post I have initiated with some noble intention.
Together, we can, we will reduce the traffic Jams in bangalore, Its possible.
Also, I have been replying to this post on the same praja.in about auto problem in bangalore -
Why autos? Its the autowalahs creating chaos and all wrongs
The idea to post these links here is to get some attention from a few likeminded folks and I really need some support/feedback/suggestion/help to go further in this direction.
Please leave your comment either on this post or praja.in about the things, we can follow it up from there.
To add, on a musical note, I am enjoying Kaminey songs these days, it has fantastic songs, specifically Gulzar's lyrics, its awesome, they are just far apart. "Jai Ho" Gulzar.
Kuch likhne ki tamanna hai, kuch karne ka irada hai, aur kuch kar dikhana hai !!!
Bolo mere sang Jai Hind !!!

Rightly said by Mr Narayan Murthy - "India not a country of doers"
This is the person I would admire very much and I am sure many of you would think the same.
I said so because I can very much link my inner soul to what he says anytime.
In his latest interview, I seem to be very much in agreement with his saying that "India not a country of doers".
Here I bring some excerpts from his latest sayings -
- "The Indian society is a society of ideas. It is a society that has revered talk. In this society, articulation is mistaken for accomplishment. We are quite satisfied with our voice, with our writings. This is not a society that is focussed on execution."
- "here in this culture, if you do anything with your hands, it is considered less honourable that anything to do with your brain."
- "In the coming year there will be some good and some not-so-good events, and you will face both these with equanimity.That is one message that our elders have to communicate to the youngsters: that bad times will pass; they will come from time to time, but they will pass.Bad times are the times when we have to show our hard work, our determination and our talent."
- "Secularism is not about forgetting who you are; secularism is about saying I will respect you for what you are and that we will take all decisions without considering what religion you belong to."
- "I am a Hindu, I am proud to be a Hindu, I do my pooja everyday, but the relationship between me and my God is a personal affair at home and it is not something I bring out into the public and I will not use religion as the basis for any decision-making or any discussion."
- "I am of the opinion that the primary objective of the government in a country like India is making sure that there is efficient delivery of basic services, like primary education, primary healthcare, nutrition, and shelter to the poor people. I don’t think corporations should expect the government to put money and help them out."
Really speaking, this person is above all of us, he has immense capability of executing things.
Jai Hind

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.

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...

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.

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.

Taking the right path first time - Muthalik to sue 'chaddi' activists
Pink chuddy pink chuddy.
Muthalik to sue 'chaddi' activists
For the first time he has taken the right path, yes the legal path.
He seems to stand apart from all of us especially the pink chaddi campaigners. If those folks really wanted to show their right of freedom, they should have done it differently in ways like –
- Sending those chuddies to government ministers and officials to show them that why the hell are they our representatives when our freedom itself is in danger
- Filing petitions in courts on behalf of all the victims of the pub attack.
- Sue Ram Sena for taking law into hands
- Sue Ram Sena and mutalik for take away individual’s right of freedom….
Or many more such things could have been done and I think this would have resulted into something effective and visible change.
With the approach they have taken, I didn’t see any common man getting benefited except getting publicity who are behind this liberal campaign, or the manufacturers of chuddies. It is highly possible that those might be behind this campaign.
And don’t make yourself fool by thinking that Mutalik called off V-day disruptions because of this campaign, not at all. I have a strong feel that there happened a treaty between the government and Mutalik not to create any kind of tensions on that day and later CM and HM can credit themselves as they have been doing in past issues.
