Federer...the great !



Although it was a tight SUNDAY...5th Jul'09, I had to get my Honda City CAR serviced so went to Prime Honda. I reached there around 11:10...a bit late from the booked time (10:30 AM). Their service staff took the car...no major problems...change of rubber in viper and a fix of bumper....which got hit in Barasane-Vrindavan-Mathura trip. K was with me and we booked a ticket for movie "New-York"....as the movie had to start 01:30 PM, we had one and a half hour...so GO SHOPPING ! Idea was to get something which K' needed but finally ended up buying a Reebok Shoes, a bag for myself. K' bought somethings for herself too....although not what she wanted. As it was near 01:20 PM, we headed for movie. K' was in favor of going to "Kambakht Ishq" but I insisted on "New-York".

The movie started good, seemed OK....probably..we came up to see any movie after long time...(tons of money saving...thanx to multiplex-producer row..strike ) and not with great expectation...hence it seemed stunning to me. The subject, storyline, acting everything was so good..that it keeps you stuck to screen. It's a MUST WATCH movie. Anyways' in the evening...we picked up the car.

This time, it was problematic servicing and I got fade up arguing the service staff, service manager. What happened it that I noticed 2 big spots of something stuck up the front panel of the car. In my all the guesses, it was something due to the servicing...or during servicing. there were other inconsistencies as well...but minor ones. Overall, I was not happy with the servicing. I screwed them a bit...although it gives more pain to self doing such thing..finally..I left and reached to Pritam's place. I had it in mind that I'll watch the Wimbledon but due all this fiasco, I thought I got late. I switch on the television and the match was still on...3 sets gone. I though, better to see a few momnets...at the same time, I was surprised to see that Andy was doing a good job...Federer too looked a bit in pressure. The fourth set was a stunner....Andy was much more ahead to Federer.atleast till fourth set. I was a bit tensed....I am a great fan of Federer and I always wanted that federer achieves what Sampras achieved way back....seeing him going down..it felt like the GENIUS is not up to the mark.

Fifth set started...and Roddik already tumbled at few moments...Federer looked calm...cool as usual but Roddik looked great as well. He seemed decisive that I'll fight for it till end. The marathon went on...and on...and on....and both of them kept pace. Federer looked a bit down around 7-7 ...but then gained the momentum and finally broke a service. All the credit to Roddik who couldn't handle the pressure well at the last...He seemed lost patience..his girl friend couldn't run up some more pray...which could have elongated the GENIUS's win. Finally, 15:14 and then Federer took control of the game and Roddik looked meek at all..now only. FEDERER was again....WImbledoN champion.

I wonder....what if Nadal would have reached to finals....but then early loosers doesn't reaches finals to play the GENIUS !!

GOD Bless you.......Mr. Roger Federer !!!

SP's manifesto.......disgusting..

With polls'2009, Indian politics is hot again and leaders are making promises which were never met in past [and will never ever be met in future]. Each such time, they come with a tons of promises and if we analyze the manifesto of different parties, we can find some loopholes and most of the agenda may seem false promises.

BUT there are some of the manifestos which are not worth at all to have a look or too cheap to be considered from a political party which has performed well in previous elections....Can anybody in this world believe that a party which has ensured 35 seats in the elections, may have such stupid manifesto, full of idiotic conditions, terms. I am myself feeling shameful when I am writing somethings about it......as in my opinions, the manifesto of Samajvadi party should be put in dust-bin but BECAUSE THEY ARE ABLE TO MANAGE SO MANY SEATs, I am disgusted with their manifesto. What do they want to prove out of this all Bull___t.

T V R Shennopy writes on the same -

http://election.rediff.com/column/2009/apr/14/loksabhapoll-why-we-should-fear-the-samajwadi-party.htm

Actually the article picks up all the points carefully. Having already mentioned that though Mulayam himself was not able to attend any convent schools, by god's grace, He was able to send his sons to a boarding school and further helped him admitted in some private college for medial. Thanx to politics, Mulayam has become like king in this jungle raj and I prefer to run away !!!!!

tickled by.......life.....

I am a person eager to learn about impacts of surroundings, changes in situation on our life. At times, Probably the term should be human psychology or Philanthropy...but this is more about life getting impacted due to the forseeable changes which occurs in day to day life e.g. not everyday in office is going to be same for 2 days (if they are same, you can feel DejaVu effect) or a day, when you getting admission to a course which fascinated you since the childhood....or .......

Another such change is Marriage...which changes quite a lot the life of the couple who are getting married. Another small example could be getting early up in the morning one fine day when you detest to wake up early in the morning. For all such things, there are a lot of questions asked and solutions suggested....I roam around such a site and thought to share it here -

http://tickledbylife.com/

There are quite a few articles which I liked very much....still a lot to read actually....If you go through them, let me have the credit to let you discover it :)

Some of the articles, I liked are -

- Forcing yourself to get up early in the morning is pointless!
- Should your spouse live four houses away?

Enjoy !!

bastardly act of Mr. Antuley....Government minister

Here comes another drama, when Mr. Antuley raised an issue feeling that there is no body thinking about Muslim votes. The stupid act of Antuley has come at a time, when the situation is so bad. Ridiculously, Pakistan is not accepting that the cowardly act by few pakistanies were not actually driven by Pakistan.

It's really too much that even when the terrorists are proved to be Pakistani......they are not accepting it. There's a Nawaz Sharif who somehow accepted that the terrorists were Pakistani..but no other Pakistani leader took an initiative to accept this fact and actually have irritated overall world community. Now this is up to global community if they punish the adamant Pakistan or this is up to India to teach Pakistan a lesson which they never forget....Atleast blew off the terrorist camps in PoK.

I started with another issue, which is very unfortunate....that in such a situation and Indian minister is giving statements which may actually dilute and that too when facts are so clear. If he is asking for a probe why the martyr Mr. Karkare went to Kama Hospital and a possible involvement of Hindu fundamentalists, We, Indians MUST ask for a probe against Mr. Antuley's statement. What is it that Mr. Antuley dared to give such a statement....Isn't it driven by a huge amount of $s from Dawood or some one from Pakistan ! We, INDIANs are asking for a probe against Mr. Antuley. Are you politicians listening ?

......And we condemn the terror attack......

There you see worst hit Mumbai by terrorist and I expected our dear Shiv Raj Patil to repeat the same lines -

"We condemn the terrorist attacks !"

Similar lines from Mr. Manmohan SINGH, who is actually representing INDIA, the most unfortunate genius on the earth, who is forced to behave as he's behaving. He'll also come in front of billion Indians and repeat the lines written in last 3-4 years of his reign. It could be something as follows -

"Our country is great and I hope in the time of crisis, we'll keep
ourselves cool and maintain the communal harmony. We are doing our
best to curb the terror and we assure you of ......blah..blah..."

How predictable...and then the chief of CONGRESS party, oh...[I think, she is president], Mrs. Sonia GANDHI will come in front and say few words in her tooty-footy hindi about our country[wo]men and condemn the terror attack.

Bull shit.....Aren't you tired of it !

I feel irritated if I see few faces on telivision and I am serious about it. It includes Kapil Sibbal, PM, Sonia GANDHI and then some of spokespersons, this party has recruited. They all are such nonsense lot of people that you feel ashamed of being in such a country where such people are holding so good position. One of them is "minister of state for home affairs". This guy is pathetic in all the interviews, he is called off. If you see any sensible question, I assure you that this guy will have the nonsense answers for it.

Another similar face is a major advocate and second most important of the lot....as spokesperson, he talks all the rubbish for congress. Recently, he has made comparison of malegaon blast accused with big terrorists of the century. I fail to understand the motive of such people and seriously doubt if they can benefit country being in such high positions.

Overall, A lot more people are getting angrier on Malegaon issue. No doubt, that terror must be curbed, let it be Hindu or Muslim but the kind of importance, Malegaon has received is really surprising. I strongly feel that it was an intended political move by CONGRESS/SP and such parties to defocus what has been acheived by ATS/Police in Batla house. It could have lead the probe to the distances where we might have been able to curb the terrorism but it may have impacted a lot on their vote bank. Hence, the government was forced to indulge in something which could take away all the attentions from real terrorism which is killing country most.

I really wonder if the situation is going to improve with this government and feel disgusted about the terrorism spreading all around. I feel helpless for people, who have died in such terror attacks and for their family who are suffering in constant pain....Let the god give them all the peace !

Let the god punish politicians for what they are doing !

Terror in Delhi....

Allas....

To hell with terrorists who in the name of "Allah" strike back. Such a cowardly act can not come in the name of god.....To hail with your spirit and to hail with your intentions !

Saying that I am no more finding them all responsible but the govt. of INDIA is responsible for encouraging them to perform similar explosions in different states [ Though I am disgusted with thier idea to kill innocents in all around INDIA ].

INDIAN MUZAHHIDIN/SIMI - You are criminals not jehadi or even terrorists.....go to hell....bastards.

I think again about the most unfortunate day of history when there was a terror strike on SANSAD. What I mean is that why at that point of time there were very few casualties happened that too of our army/police men. No MPs/leaders were insured. I wish if there would have been a complete wash out of SANSAD. A complete new generation would have popped out for the betterment of INDIA. I have lost faith in INDIAN politician. When I see PM/CM/Sonia etc. saying following lines -

"WE CONDEMN IT"

Go to hail....you all idiots ! Being in such a big position, if you can't take some actions, you are not doing whatever is needed from you.

These politicians are sold out for their own betterment. There economy is well growing better than INDIA's growth..I assure each and everybody in INDIA.

Next comes the INDIAN Media who has been playing to increase their TRP. They all are a bunch of nonsense who are not bothered about country or people who are giving all the money for their chicken/wine [read bread/butter]. Times of INDIA publish interviews of many celebrities and the common lines of them all is -

"We'll see the Delhi's spirit ! It'll be back on track next day." or
"These are all ways to provocate people in country. If we maintain peace, we'll win them"

What the hail...Are your near and dear ones hurt ? If not, you can't understand the loss of them that too in such a way. They are choosen ones because some idiots/corrupts in top position are not doing their job well. If there's an "Allah", in whose name such crimes are taking place.....shame on it.

Shame on Muzahidiins !
Shame on SIMI !
Shame on Politicians !
Shame on [so called] MEDIA ! [**you'll win your chicken/wine**]
Shame on Spirit of Delhi !
Shame on A.... !

Oh Almighty, Please help these confused bunch of CRIMINALS to understand humanity !

TZP - Wonderful "Aamir"

Yesterday, A torrent download completed signalled me to see "Taare Zameen Per". It's such a wonderful movie that I couldn't stop watching it even after 12:00 night because I started too late. Maan was sitting besides me and Bhabhi was on phone talking to brother. The complete idea roams around a boy suffering from "Dyslexia :- A specific learning disability that manifests primarily as a difficulty with written language, particularly with reading and spelling." ....More.....

It's must watch and everybody growing children must see it.

Today morning, got a mail from Vikas C. which is actually forwarded by hubhnam Singh ( I don't know if he has authored it ), A good enough analysis of psychological differences between different top known authors. It seems, they are typed anough in their frame of mind and don't open up, Though SRK shouldn't be totally put into jeopardy after "Chak De" ( Before it, for sure he was as described here......huh.... ).


Go, Read on.....


If Karan Johar made Taare
  • Obvious starcast:
    • Shah Rukh Khan as the arts teacher (duh duh duh!!).
    • Aryan Khan as the dyslexic child (even if he could not act for nuts).
    • Rani Mukerjee as the kid's mom (assuming Kajol is unavailable).
    • Abhishek Bachchan as the kid's dad.
    • Amitabh Bachchan as the school principal (who cares if the role is ultra minute, he can afford it).

· It would be shot in New York to appeal to the NRI audience.

· The story line would obviously be different. SRK would fall for the dyslexic kid's mom. The last scene would have the mom running to the teacher rather than the kid. And again, like in so many other movies, SRK would get someone else's girl.

· It would have one dance number.

· The film would be titled 'Kuch Taare Zameen Par .'

If Sanjay Leela Bhansali made Taare

  • Obvious starcast:
    • Salman as the teacher.
    • Rani as the mother.

· Of course the whole film would be shot on elaborate sets. The school would be nothing short of Harvard university.

· An orchestra would play every time anyone cried.

· Slow motion, different camera angles for every scene.

· The school uniforms would match the classroom walls even though that does not make a f***ing difference.

· The film would cost 60 crores.

If Farah Khan made Taare

  • Obvious starcast:
    • SRK as the teacher (yawn).
  • In the original Taare, Aamir makes an entry at the interval point. In Farah's version, SRK would be on screen on for 2.30 hrs out of the 2.45 hrs and would be introduced in the first scene itself.
  • The story would be changed to make sure the above happened. The focus of the film would be a teacher who helps a kid fight dyslexia.
  • To make it a complete entertainer, there would be a romantic angle, comedy, and action thrown in. Oh idea!! Nikumbh's character likes another teacher and the kiddo helps him.. throw in some comedy moments there and you have romance and comedy settled. For action.. hmm.. lemme see.. oh yah, the kid gets kidnapped and the teacher fights the baddies to save him. Wow!! I'm quite an imaginative writer. I can see how Farah can write a film from scratch in two weeks straight.
  • The film posters would have a big SRK with the tiny image of the kid in the background.


If Rakesh Roshan made Taare [ (Digvijay : He is a good director, I feel ]

  • Obvious starcast:
    • Hrithik Roshan as the teacher.
  • Since Rakesh Roshan cannot think beyond science fiction these days, this film would have that too. Instead of dyslexia, the kid would have alienositis or something, a condition induced due to him witnessing an alien abduction.
  • Instead of Nikumbh being an arts teacher, he would be a physics teacher, and instead of asking kids to be creative, he would ask them to challenge the science we know.
  • In the scene where Nikumbh asks the kids to open their minds and make whatever they want outdoors, the kid Ishaan, instead of making a boat, would end up making a working spaceship prototype.
  • Nikumbh would cure the kids problem by making a full fledged version of the kid's prototype, traveling to the alien planet, and asking them to give the kid his powers back.
  • The film would have music by Rajesh Roshan ripped off from some world music.
  • The film's name would again start with a K.. probably ' Kuch Aliens Taaron se Zameen Par' .
  • The director would make sure Hrithik gets to show all his abilities. This would mean a scene with Roshan jr flexing his muscles, and a dance competition in the end, instead of an arts competition.

If Priyadarshan made Taare:

  • Obvious starcast:
    • Akshay Kumar as the teacher.
    • Paresh Rawal as the kid's dad.

· It would be a brainless comedy. The kid's dyslexia would be made fun of. Half the times the
parents will be running after the kid from one room to the other and that, in the director's opinion, would be funny.

· The film will be full of sex jokes. So for example, when Akshay would come to the parents telling them that their son has dyslexia, the ignorant father would say something inappropriate like 'iss umar mein? par kaise, woh to hamesha boys school mein padha hai!'. And yes, the director would think it is funny.

· In the climax of the film all the characters in the film would run around in the amphitheater for no reason, spilling colors on each other. That's where the film will end, without any logical conclusion.

· And of course, Paresh Rawal would emote like an epileptic himself making us question the boy's mental abilities anyway.

Enjoy.......

Life in a [so called] Metro

Yesterday, after a long while, I again sat in PVR Spice to see a movie. Pritam choose to see Metro as he had heared too many Good/bad reviews [overall it was +ve]. The movie starts with some glimpses of few desperate lives. It was strange to see that basically movie showed people searching for happiness as if it doesn't exists or if it exists, it exists only in being UnFaithful to your better half. It seemed like it's must to do something wrong to destroy trust between the 2 lives.

The song sequences were real good....whenever these charming faces appeared on screen, it was making good sense. Also songs were good and sung too well.

Again, Konkana sen, k.k. proved to be best of the lot [although the gay scene is always on the part of Konkana to handle]. Shiney is star and too good for serious roles. There are a lot shown about call centres. I heard a lot about it but seems like the director has gone too far where he has created a web of unfaithful wifes of call center employees. Irfan is prompt actor and last few dialogues are funniest one.

Overall an OK movie to go for....Song sequences are too good !!

Spiderman

After viewing it seventh time, I still was charmed about the dialogues of SPIDERMAN. A number of conversations between Spidey and MJ were too good and actually few of them are mind blowing. I tried to find out some of them and I found precisely what I searched, Thanx to Google [not really for this probably?]
  • Spider-Man introduction.
"Who am I? You sure you wanna know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said it was a happy little tale, if somebody told you I was just your average, ordinary guy, not a care in the world, somebody lied. But let me assure you, this, like any story worth telling, is all about a girl ... That girl. The girl next door ... Mary Jane Watson, the woman I loved since before I even liked girls. I'd like to tell you that's me next to her, heck I'd even take him ... That's me."
  • The upside-down kiss.
SM: "You have a knack for getting in trouble"
MJ: "You have a knack for saving my life. I think I have a superhero stalker"
SM: "I was in the neighbourhood"
MJ: "Do I get to say thank you this time?"
  • Peter to Mary Jane in aunt May hospital room (about Spidey).
MJ: "Has he matching me?"
Peter: "Yeah!"
MJ: "What he said?"
Peter: "I said, um... He asks me what I thought about you."
MJ: "And what did you say?"
Peter: "I said, uh, Spider-Man I said, uh, the great thing about M.J. is when you look in her eyes, and she is looking back in yours, everything feels not quite normal, because you feel stronger, and weaker at the same time. You feel excited, and at the same time, terrified. The truth is you don't know what you feel, except you know what kind of man you wanna be. It's as if you've reached the unreachable, and you weren't ready for it..."

[This one is so romantic, touching that I tried to remember it few times, I had the same feeling sometime...ummmmmmmm]


MJ: "You said that?"
Peter: "Something like that."
  • Peter to Mary Jane Watson in the cemetery.
"I want you to know, that I will always be there for you. I will always be there to take care of you. I promise you that. I will always be your friend."
  • Spider-Man conclusion.
"Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words, with great power comes great responsibility. This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-Man."

I love the movie, MJ etc......

Aaj phir aankh mein nami si hai

Yesterday, while cleaning up few packets/folders, I noticed few old papers. Seemed like old love letters which we posted one another a number of times. Gone were the days when we do it but yesterday, I could feel the fragrance of them. Once, I felt low and then realized that gone were the days when it happened. Remembered few lines from one of Jagjit Singh's ghazal...

"Sham se aankh mein nami si hai,
Aaj phir aapaki kami si hai"

Anyways, I have created a circumference around myself and world has started looking beautiful....what if I don't have ............ and again I remember a ghazal sung by Chandan Das -

"Apana GAM le ke kahin aur na jaya jaye,
Ghar mein bikhari hui cheezon ko sajaya jaye"

Life is treating well, offcourse !!

"Two Lives"

I read it somewhere or dreamt.....

'I'(a name) never expected to be in the exhilarating moment of that day....How lovely it was !! My assignments had to be tackeled in a business meeting and I was staying in a 5Star. Everything went well and in the evening, while coming out of the hotel, I saw a familiar face...no, I don't belive this...YES, but it was she. In the uniform, she looked prettier than old days....'I' said hello, when our eyes met....and the response was as if we didn't know each other...then suddenly I saw the same sparkling eyes....and she said hello shaking hands..

'I' : How are you ?
'She' : Not bad, and you ?
'I' : Can't say, good but life goes on !!
'She' : So....
'I' : I am here on an assignment and just completed meeting with a client....went great so just wanted to roam around a bit. Do you work here ?
'She' : Yes, I am Lounge Manager here.
'I' : Good to see you here.
A smile on here face....was it painful... ?

'I' : I am staying in ###. If you could manage sometime, you are welcome !! I'll feel good.

She shakes her head, looked into my eyes and moved quietly.......

My heart was suddenly sinking....My mind lost in thoughts and I went back to room. Gone were the days when these 'Two Lives' made sense to each other. Isn't it strange that today, after meeting again, things were not at all good but amazingly disturbing. I still was in past when there was a knock and she entered, changed in casuals...she came and sat just in front of me.

'She' : Who was responsible for what happened ?

'I' was stunned on receiving the question and couldn't think if she still could be so straight.

'I' : If I say, it was me then......isn't the situations were responsible for it.
'She' : huh....(A deep, sad smile)
'I' : (felt hurted, heart pounding like anything)
: Sorry.........Foooooohhhhhhhhh
: How is life treating with....your......
'She' : (smile, This used to be my life sometime earlier) going great. He is a pilot. Often abroad..on different flights.
'I' : Good......
'She' : and you......
'I' : I felt, I was responsible so never thought of any other option...
'She' : (laugh as if I desrved it) Sorry, you should have got someone.
'I' : yes, definitely I should have...but I didn't...
'She' : (sobbing...)
'I' : no, please....why....(I felt heavy too).
: (I stood up and hold here hand...) It's Ok !! We have 'Two Lives' and this is what we should face.
'She' : (smile) ....

We had a nice time together......After a while,

'She' : We have 'Two Lives'....but Can I have 'Two Lives' ?
'I' : (A hug, a nervous smile) You could be an angel for me but I can't be devil for you.

She touched my lips...stood up and left. While closing the door, she turned...."C u again soon" !!

I thought If I would look forward for the same, for the 'Two Lives' !!

Indian Cricket Team !!

So India won the IInd ODI although our heroic batsmen beg at their feet to make 2 digit runs. Nothing new...but the way they come to field and go out..I just wonder if they have some guilt feeling running at the back of their head.

Exploring the net/TV, I found that the CLASS 'A' batsmen like 10dulkar(read 0dulkar), Dravid, Ganguly(don't know if good or bad) are earning hail lot of money and being the richest in Cricket boards, BCCI pays them without any regret. Good that our bowlers helped with bat (doing it number of times) and we won the match.

Cricket world cup is not very far from now and I just wonder what position they have....10th...11th...no !! wait !! There are teams like Holland, Bangladesh, Zimbabve, Kenya....so India placed at 7th...or 8th after world cup..huhh....

What say ?

My House

Here's the news,

I got my flat which I bought 2 yrs. back in Greater Noida. I would be shifting sometime in November. I loved livingin Noida and definitely would miss it but GNoida gives me a different kind of peace. It's so calm/cool that often I prefer to do a lot of walking...another plus is that company already had shifted to here so I'll be again a happy man. Sleeping till 8-9 in the morning is always a comfort for me because I sleep bit late.

What would I miss...huhh..a lot...My old house where we stayed for 6 yrs., the Atta market which was just 1.5 km far frommy place(Although I didn't visit very often ) , then accessibility to Delhi and my favourite pub cum restaurent "Ego, NFC"...and a lot other blah..blah....

Anyways, with some plus and initially a lot minus I'll shift. Let me hope I'll find more pluses after shifting here. Currently busy with wood work etc. etc....

POL

Caught into a discussion today when KD and DSS started discussing on religion, god etc. etc. KD had a view that it's normally social upbringing which put a man/woman in worshiping mode. I didn't find any athiest in my life. Once I found one but after getting married, this guy changed his religion;) AB, I wish, you read this. So the discussion lead into n-directions and finally a sentence popped up.....

What is " Purpose Of Life" ?

Knock.....Knock.......?????

Anti Reservation campaign

All anti reservation public !!

Let's take the resoluation to vote against congress in coming elections. In my thinking, This is what they have got in mind. Normally the vote percentage from our side are less in past few elections. This need to be communicated clearly that CONGRESS will be rooted out in each coming elections after this reservation issue.

Shamelessly, PM offers support to OBCs and talks about social injustice. A pathetic situation overall on the issue and concerns shown by leaders are in terrible condition.

Politicians have lost their mind completely !! What is happening in this coutry ??

I feel disinherited by my own country. What do you feel ?

Our HRD minister is sick !!

An interview of Arjun SINGH. See the pathetic answers for infinitely clear questions raised by Karan Thapar.

http://www.ibnlive.com/news/decision-on-quota-is-final-arjun/11063-4.html

Whoever is support to reservation need to do some introspection and specially politicians need to think over the questions asked by Karan.

Shame on owning such a profile of our country !!

dilettante

dilettante \DIL-uh-tahnt\ noun :

  • an admirer or lover of the arts
  • a person having a superficial interest in an art or a branch of knowledge

Further description seemed interesting -

If someone calls you a dilettante, they're probably not too impressed with your devotion to your art. But "dilettante" didn't always have the disparaging tone that it has today. "Dilettante" is an Italian word, derived from "dilettare," meaning "to delight." In the 18th century, a dilettante was simply a person who delighted in the arts. Later, the term came to refer to someone who cultivates an art as a pastime without pursuing it professionally — that is, an amateur. From this meaning developed the somewhat negative meaning that the word carries today, indicating a person who dabbles in an art or subject but is not truly devoted to it.

I got a feeling that it's a good word to use my love for music these days. I am enjoying Ghulam Ali, Jagjit Singh too now a days but still I am dilettante of MUSIC.

quota - reservations

What should happen for OBCs in INDIA....

- Reservations in ARMY/AirForce/Navy....huh..
- Reservations in Politics...let the 300 seats be reserved for them...
- Other sectors...let it be private companies...Force the American/European
companies to recruit them....Allas..

Results expected from fellow citizens....Manage to get VISA for US, UK, Europe and
create a brain drain situation.
------
These are the conclusions we withdraw from a discussion ( Me, GN, PL, PB ).
It seems practical to move out of country protesting such steps of bloody politicians.
This person ( HRD Min. ) didn't learn anything from even the downfall of VP SINGH, who was the
main culprit of MANDAL. I don't think, He gained anything and now if he introspects,
he'll accept it. All the benifits are taken by Mulayam and Lalu types politicians. They have
created enough problems with UP and Bihar already.

Now this Arjun wants to become god of OBCs.Oh God, Help him make a decision.

It was a nice afternoon and after a long time Le Gruyver had SUNNY day. It was the most lively place, I found in Suisse. Probably the reason being that we were so busy with work shedule that we couldn't see other places in full aspirations.

This was the shot I took when we were near the castle.

I really started liking my camera. Posted by Picasa

I am in Geneva ++

The strange keyboard puts ä+ä in place of ä!ä

Strange characters appearing so I would prefer to put some images for the moment....

Rest can wait for some time !!
