The ‘Hinglish’ Politics


        
       Obviously, the moral and court laws approve and permit one-women marriage, but as a matter of privilege and disparity, the ‘Netas’ in India have got two wives; the latter is corruption. And their loyalty to it resides in the fact that they never betray it under any circumstances. The primitive ‘Khadi’ coat and the pointed ‘Gandhi Topi’ woes around their cunning skins with a shiny appearance to picture the thing which is totally unknown. In fact, the general curriculum-vitae of the Netas can be expressed as-
D.O.B-        Needs not to be mentioned, as the whole nation comes to know about it when it arrives…”ab bhai road bane ya na bane, b’day toh akhir dhoom-dhaam se manana hai, aur budget to bas itna sa hi ki itne mein clean road kya, poora makhan daar highway ban jaye…”
Educational Qualification-        exactly don’t remember the name of the Institution, still prestigiously passed class 12th prestigiously with 1st rank, but just the expenditure was bit uncommon!
Attitude-   Fully ‘Dabangg’. Open slogan- “Baatein kam, kaam jayede”, Oh sorry! I forgot to put reverse gear, “Kaam kam, baatein jayeda”.
Physical app.- Fully loaded with betel-nuts in mouth and consequently springing the red liquid out of their twisting tongues at the x, y and z co-ordinates of the walls. Seems a bit obese, Oh sorry! “main jaanta k maal ko obesity nhi khta hoon”
And the rest is beyond my scope of explanation. Really, Indian politics is not exactly about development and progress but it is all about “Fantoosh Characters” in the country. But I have got stuffs to elaborate, I think after 63 years of independence, we should feel proud that we got an stipulated technology and a gorgeous attitude. The technology is ‘Jugaad’ technology and the attitude is ‘Chalta Hai’ attitude. Must be familiar with that. Isn’t it? It has been said that- “All that glitters is not gold”, but who cares about gold “ab toh laal and hare patte ka zamana hai”.
Sometimes, a cry crawls in my senses and beneath my heart to spell it out to the politicians “Go hell with your rules, Go hell with your fundas and go even deeper than that with your false speeches, Damn you!” Would like to conclude with the saying that- “War is a politics with bloodshed, but politics is a war without bloodshed”. Don’t have anything alluring to say about it.

Chak De.....INDIA!!!!

                   Still remembering the last moment, when every Indian were holding their fingers in front of their T.V. sets, with their heartbeats swirling like anything, with their minds undergoing intense pressure under the vicinity of the tensed embiance, with the highly eradicated state of indecision, when not a single soul moved and not a single eye blinked...and suddenly everything freezed. The immense silence was broken by Dhoni's splendid and magnificient sixer, and then as if every Indian rejoicly jumped and shouted with joy- "Yeyyy...we did it...we are the winners!!" Thus making it the proudest moment for every Indian, and each fellow citizen was moved by the feelings of natoinalism. This match is not the victory only for the highly dedicated cricketers, but it is dazzling success for all 100 crore Indians, for every heart which beated for victory of India, for every person who believed in India, for every soul which cheered for India and for every sustaining eyes that cried for this moment. It is because of this that today we can stand, facing the world with heads high above, and can say that- "Yes, we are proud to be Indians!"
              This match was really a inspiring one. It showed to us what hard- work, consistency, co-ordination, self-believe, determination, patience and calmness can result into. Really guys, if you work hard, no one, no force, no devil can ever stop you from getting there. The only thing you need is to maintain your spirit and never lose heart. This match was a replica of all the above mentioned values. It was really a spell-bounding experience watching this match and this was a drastic win. After 28 years of long wait, Dhoni has given India what it actually deserves, a cup awaited for a long time and now it's back to it's bacon. The whole Indian team has to be credited for this. I would, here, deliberatly like to mention about the coolest captain ever, M.S. Dhoni. He's a man of guts, I must say. The way he directed his team and showcased a amazing confidence is a model to behold. I couldn't see even single line of despair on his face and that's what impressed me the best. He truly proved that if the captain and the foremost leader is confident, then there is nothing that can kibosh the team. He exhibited all the characteristics of a good leader, a good captain and above all a good player. This man changed the history of India forever, he demonstrated once again that Indian is the homeland of world's most ravishing talents. And I still remember his last sixer. The link is here. The Master Blaster of  India, Sachin Tendulkar, again corroborated that he's the man not to be trifled with. Playing 6 world cups and still waiting for the victory could not have been a easy task for him. But still, better late than never, he affirmed the fact that he's really the GOD of cricket. He just sways...!!!. And again, how can I forget the sizzling runs scored by Gambhir at a raucous rate! Rocking performance...And there are others who specially need to be credited, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh and many others.
                After the victory, the sky was full of blazing and splashing colours. It made me feel as if today is second Diwali of the year. And why not, we deserve it. This team has got all things in it- aggresion, love, believe, confidence and above all team work. This showed the world what we Indians are capable of doing. If we show the inhidden fire in us, even the heaven is shaken and the earth is cracked. There's no one in the whole world who can really challenge us. May India continue to go like this at Godspeed and we rock!!!!!

Babaji...tussi great ho!!!


*************************************************************************************
Perhaps I questioned earlier- "Is politics so barbarous, sorcerous and herculean that it could perish into a country to demolish it's ataraxis and harmony?" I feel the answer is turning out to be quite obvious........lol
*************************************************************************************

                My article starts off like a Classic Hindi Cinema- "Once upon a time in India, there was turmoil of sickness and blasts of severe illness everywhere. People got  fed up eating english medicines (perhaps bored!) and there was no option. Similar consequences were follwed by the heroic and legendary entry of the great reliever- BABA RAMDEV. It was a turning point in the film indeed. With his hundreds of twisting yogas, Baba Ramdev was successful in tackling every possible disease that was thought to be incurable. Slowly and slowly, people started believing him, following him. Gradually, he moved on to Ayurvedic medicines rather than limiting himself on Yoga. Crores and crores of people were healed and became the benefactors. But now it seems as if climax is on the peak. Baba is now-a-days becoming a preacher of politics rather than yoga. God knows what will happen next". Is Baba going to stand on for the next elections(means we have one more influencing choice to vote)? Truthfully saying..."Baba aapki mahima aprampar hai...!!!"
                
               Baba Ramdev is one of the most influencing and alluring personalities of India, and not only India he's a International "Rockstar". Owing respect to him, I feel he needs to be creditedfor his considerable work in the field of Yoga and Ayurvedic medicines. In fact, there are lakhs and lakhs of people who have really got a new life just because of him. He's a perfect incarnation of God of Health and is a perfect dietician. He has got perfect taste of what the word 'healthy' really means. He's a impeccable example of what spritual, religious and Yogic life would result. I first saw I him appearing around the year 2005, when I was considerably young to practice all his asanas, yogas, and spritual teachings! I saw him getting renowned and notable day by day. And, why not? He was seen as exigent meliorator for any sort of untune. As the days passed on till date, Baba seems progressing rapidly and scurringly more charming than any other Guru. I never found the crux X-factor of him. But whatever, he sways!!! I have always found westernized Astrologers getting famous and enjoying a lot of money flavour. But it baffles me...a man with just a red gerua and some twisting moves juddering the whole country. Well, it seems that now this fellow is turning out to be most advance poilitical figure in India. Staying up to the yogas was fine enough but now he is supercharged to interpose in country's strategic problems. He's  now more seen in Reality shows and news headlines and interviews rather than his own primary places. It is also heard that he gonna form his new political party which would try to bring back all the black money back in India and remove corruption. May he do this. I remember the skit which my classmates  performed last week and Ankit performed the role of 'Baba Jham Dev'!!! It was really a noteworthy skit. 
                     
                  Concludingly, I would say that future is in the hand of the destiny but whatever would happen should go on for good. May the blessed Baba take us to the new heights of prosperity and integrity.

Lucha de Egipto la Democracia

                 I know that you all must be pondering over the title, but what it genuinely means is 'EGYPT'S DEMOCRACY STRUGGLE'. Whenever I got to think about Egypt, all that strikes my mind is it's cultural identity, vast spans of sand, pyramids, mummys, the indegeneous music, Nile Valley civilization(perhaps Egypt has 6000 years of recorded past!) but never about the protests that I usually see flashing over my T.V. screen and major occupant of the front page of the newspaper. I have got something to ask- "Is politics so barbarous, sorcerous and herculean that it could perish into a country to demolish it's ataraxis and harmony?" Actually this event has tend to deteriorate my views on politics. I was suggested to write on this topic by Nilay Bhaiya...otherwise the word  politics would have really been untouched by my fingers on the keyboard. I would like to unwrap something about Egypt in the next para.
                 I really spent considerable time on knowing somewhat about Egypt. It is officially known as the Arab Republic of Egyptand is a transcontinental country, and a major power in Africa, the Mediterranean region, the Middle East and the Islamic world. It is famous for its ancient civilization, with famous monuments such as the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx. Its ancient ruins, such as those of Memphis, Thebes, and Karnak and the Valley of the Kings outside Luxor, are a significant focus of archaeological study(well I have got to do nothing with it's archaeological attractions...what matters to me is the appearence of stars in sky in Egypt!!!). Moving on to the climatic factors, most of Egypt's rain falls in the winter months unlike India. However it's a irony that Egypt has been officially named a "Republic" since June 18, 1953, however, it has been under Emergency Law continually since 1967. Since 1981, Egypt has been ruled autocratically by Mohamed Hosni Mubarak, who came to power after the assassination of President Mohammed Anwar El-Sadat. Mubarak was currently serving his fifth term in office (28 years) and is the leader of the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP). Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik was sworn in as Prime Minister on January 29, 2011, following the resignation of Ahmed Nazif. On 25 January 2011, widespread protests began against Mubarak's regime. By 29 January it was becoming clear that Mubarak's regime had lost control when a curfew order was ignored, and the army took a semi-neutral stance on enforcing the curfew decree. Some protesters, a very small minority in Cairo, expressed nationalistic views against what they deemed was foreign interference, highlighted by the then held view that the U.S. administration had failed to take sides, as well as linking the regime with Israel. Now that's all I know...wold like to give credits to all my friends and teachers for the valuable information they supported with me.
                    Terminally, I would like to say a country's prestige lies in it's peace and unity it shows. And all that violates it is it's foe...what else to say...???  I don't have alluring views on politics...

IPL's fever onset ...once again

"We have forgotten ABC, we only remember IPL!!!", now this is what Ahmedabadians say. Seeing this on Times Editorial truly amazes me to a great extent, perhaps ridiculously. Or should I say that as the days went on, I feel that  'cricket for cricket's sake' has changed to 'cricket for auction's sake'. Forget those old days where cheering and whistling were the only pleasures of cricket-watching, now you get a "mixed-masala". Now cricket has emerged as a full bag (perhaps a mixed one!!!) of  'mastii', 'mazaa', 'controversy', 'money-matters', 'film-stars'(now this what I have to say that cricket has extended to celebrities rather than players) and how can I forget "the great AUCTION".  Actually this what leads to a mind-boggling fan- following of cricket these days. IPL has been rocking the country since its last 3 seasons and we hope to see much more in the 4th season; lots of sixers and hundreds of wickets, scores of boundaries and whatever else you wish. Cricket has its own peculiarities(as we have read it in History), it is the only game which is not time-bounded...indeed. Each and every news channel woes to and telecast about IPL 24 hours and if it's not enough then it's all about talking with cricket fans.
                Aha! now I got something interesting to share with you all. IPL's fever soaring high and our exams approaching...what a 'jodi'. Although, cricket doesn't make a larger occupancy in my mind but it really does in others...yeah...now I think I'll really get something "hot" and "fussy" to see around. Students ruffling to see cricket in the vicinity of their exams...quite interesting to see!!! The craze for entertainment(can't even call it cricket) in youths ranges from tattos to whistling their favorite team songs and of course bidding their mere Rs. 10 or Rs.20 money in their pockets. Or seemingly very intangibly quoted by Amul :- "IPL- Indian Players Lottery". And of course, we'll witness sweats and excitement getting crossed over all the winter colds. But still, irrespective of all the above mentioned exciting facts, I miss the old craze of cricket, whose excitement would adhere to our souls and protruded so much to cross all heartbeats just at hit of a bat. Now-a-days, cricket is hugely affected by the money and corruption (now this is what IPL-3 was all about). Players get attracted towards the bundle of notes given to them and then performing well never matters...all it matter is the money given to them. And how can I ever leave the devil of match fixing. Ah!... I don't want to continue with all these filthy matters.
       
              Optimistically, I want to pray God for a honest game this time and not for a pre-decided- "Main Khilari tu anari". All I want to happen is that a Game should be played like a game but not Business avenue and if all this comes true this time then " Cricket dekhna to banta hai BOSS"...:-)

ADVERTISEMENTS- BANE OR BOON?

        
    In this materialistic world, people seem to be more influenced by the modernisation of products through advertisements, even if they are non-aufit. Scrutinizing the fact, I find even the useless products more dominating just because of "AD'S".

             Well, starting optimistically, I feel advertisements are of great importance although debating would lead or take us to longer contradictional results. They cause a competition between products of same genre and hence increase their commercial as well as nutritional values as a result of which the companies get more devoted to the betterment of common masses through their diligent products. Ad's also make us aware of new products in the market depriving of which we would still be old-fashioned. For youths, advertisements are like a craze-factor. Each and every dialogue goes intervenous in them. Advetisements are also source for information about new technos and gizmos, colleges and various institutions. They play a important role in making citizens aware of their rights and regulations through various governmental issues and ad's like "Jaago Grahak Jaago" which make us realize what power we can exercise over the shopkeepers and various other post-holders. Also they are good source of income for various T.V. channels and reality shows through which they are able to conduct so well.

            On the other hand, there are tens and millions of jests and disadvantages for advertisements too. Let's check them out. Ad fever is so high thet before the exams students may not go for traditional sweets but they'll surely go for Cadbury Dairy Milk, and of course because it's a "Shubh Aarambh". Whether you ought to "Taste the Thunder" or go on to protrude "Youngistan". Or better say that the fever of advertisement is more fluent than swine flu. If I go on to include all the examples, it would be eternity or may be far from that too!!! Advertisements give rise to transient passions in our life as the trend changes within a short period of time. All of us try to become voguish these days although the look may be jokish. These days, the dressing table of not only the women, but also the men is filled with lakhs of taudry things. I feel it's exploiting or crucifying our customs and traditions. There are many papertrails in our day to day life to explain these things.

            Well, I have much more to say, but limit stops me over here. Advertisements satisfies the proverb that "All that glitters is not gold"......and rest you all are quite smart to understand.... :-)

CHILD LABOUR- THE SHAME FOR CIVILIZATION

              
Before starting up with my views, I would like to write something very genuinely improvised by a famous personality "Child is the father of man". And why not? After all its the children which take up the entity of future citizens and make up a better world. They play an intangible role in the development of any nation. But all the above stated facts are now-a-days  trifled with the very guilty consequences of Child Labour.
             Childhood is the period of toys and joys. It is the time not just for mere enjoyment but also for his mental and physical development. It's a period to hang with friends. But it seems as if all the above lines seem true or practically work true only for those who have money. Those who can't afford it are left with nothing in their destinies. It sems as if all the toys are put into hell for them. All the joys are teared like the mere pieces of papers. They have no clothes oh their body for coverage. Little children go on for work sustaining all the severity. Instead of pencils in their hands, they are given utensils to rub. Especially, in a village-dominated country like India, this type of practice is becoming more common day by day. Many a times we get updated by the condition of child labour through electronic media but our senses never react seeing this indesperate condition of future in our country.
           Education makes a man dependent, commensurably it increases the broadness of mind, plus it makes a person sociable and moral by nature. A good educated person can govern his life by his own ways. A child who is not literate may earn money for his mere sustainence but he'll never realize his rights. As a result of which he'll be supressed in each and every stage of his life. So, education what we need to give but not the scrubbers. These days b           
           I feel that for all the happenings, if we all scrutinize carefully, there is no one to claim but we ourselves are responsible. If we wanna change this world into a real heaven, then we'll have to remove this devil of Child Labour..... That's all we can do.... :-(
