"DOGS FIGHTING IN THE NAME CATTLE-CLASS"

Media needs a story and our great politicians leave no stone upturned
to be the main protagonist of the story !!
This is in reference to the recent chaos caused by Shashi Tharror's tweet."Austerity Drive"
So what's the harm if someone says "cattle class out of solidarity with all our holy cows!”.
If it was not Mr. Tharoor but someone else it would have been OK. What's the harm
if he uses his own money for five star stay? You have it so might as well use it.Atleast he is not faking it , unlike most of his collegues.

Read two artiicles in TOI today. One by Shobhaa De and one by Chetan Bhagat. They are right in their own ways.Instead of wasting time why everyone is not doing their work.I am sure all this goddamn politicians have got lots and lots of work to take care of. We should be happy that finally after so many years we have got people who are educated and can connect to we youths. How many of these cryin politicians know what TWEETER means !!! Forget it...How many of them actually know the meaning of " Cattle Class" ???

Jus' because someone is protesting so even u will go ahead and protest !
Jus' beacuse "Austerity Drive " is the in-thing so you will travel in economy class !!

Do these guys actually trying to save money for the government? I am sure these publicity stunts cost more than you traveling " Cattle Class"...Will you just get a life? You can instead put some more efforts in controlling "SWINE-FLU" rather than making an issue of the "CATTLE CLASS" statement !!
Will you stop arguing and concentrate more on the economy state the country?
Will you stop making a mountain of a mole?
Don't you think there are thousands of other important issues to take care of?
Can't you keep all these petty things aside and have a sense of humor?
Please Don't criticize people if you can't appreciate them.
Finally it's amazing to have few people up there who are technologically sound and well educated.

I am not supporting anyone over here.Just that we have lots to take care of instead of mud-slinging and finding faults in others.It's about time that all these politicians come out of that cocoon and behave like responsible grown up adults...I am sure nobody is listening.Nor do I expect them to.It's just that I don't have any other way of venting out my frustrations (Thanks to the articles in the papers regarding this cattle-class dung)..

"BLOODY DOGS FIGHTING IN THE NAME OF CATTLE CLASS"

NGOs : So cool to be a part of it !!!

NGOs.....
Of late I am seeing this craze about people joining NGOs for some cause or the other.

My foot !!I wonder how many of them are actually fighting...Oops working for a cause.Maybe because you want some instant fame so you need to be on the limelight and you don't have any other ways to do it!Or is it the fact that your college credits and honors programme largely depend on the fact that how many hours you put in this so called NGO?Or you want to be in the limelight so why not join an NGO?Recently met a friend...well...so called friend.Working with Teach India Foundation. There are so many cool chicks...might as well.Social work with a Cause !! Over here it is Social Work with purpose.I don't want to take potshots at anyone as I know some out there would definitely feel that my whole purpose of writing this is to put them down.No ...It's not like that !!You work for some NGOs dealing with orphans but you have a ten year old maid servant at your place working from 6 in the morning to 10 in the night.You work for some NGOs dealing with the Environment but you burn gallons of oil commuting and some dozens of cigarettes and joints thinking about the cause.I decided to work for a NGO dealing with cancer patients...Everyday i smoke more then twenty cigarettes and the person I am working with gets affected by my habit.I can't handle this double standard.I am not working anymore!! I don't want to portray myself as a saint ...I would rather be a sinner. At least my conscience won't prick me again and again everyday.I am sure most these so called hypocrites,do-gooders wont be affected by anything.
You will keep on littering this whole city and still keep on shouting " Clean Mumbai - Green Mumbai"
You will keep on abusing children (lesser children) and still vouch for upliftment of slum-kids right?How many of you don't ask for the "cutting chai" from "chotu" at the tea-stall?

Working for the environment...well when all you swines out there are raping it from right left and centre..
You will shout for woman empowerment but you would hesitate to give your bus-seat to that old lady?
You will be an active member for some damn NGO dealing with gay rights...but you surely have a problem if your sister's tendencies are not straight.
I can't mend my ways but atleast I won't be a part of something which I don't support from my heart !! Atleast at the end of the day I won't be doing something for limelight,college grades or simply to hangout at some cool places with fellow wannabes..hypocrites..

Why so much of Hype and hoopla regarding "Kasab"

Do I need to tell who the hell I am talking about?
Ajmal Kasab...this guy has spoilt my mood for three days in a row AGAIN..Thanks to our media who are always on a look out for a scoop.They just need something or the other to feel their pages.First they came out with an article that he needs "rakhi" to be tied as he was missing his sisters.What about the dozens he killed.I am sure quite a few sisters lost their lives. Then he asks for Biryani....I mean do the newspapers need to mention it? I am sure people who were directly affected by his act must be wondering which was worse: they loosing their near ones or the cheap publicity this guy getting? Today I read an article that he needs safety from Swine Flue. This BLOODY SWINE needs to hanged immediately or knowing that our system is so lax atleast Media should stop this slip shot fashion of publishing "Kasab's Problems" and making a mockery of our feelings.All these news reports are just adding insult to the injury. Will someone take a note?

Mumbai Rains...Mumbai Pain...Everytime

Mumbai:The greatest city of India...Shanghai dreams..well well...here we are ...all set to become better than Shanghai. At 11 in the morning, I just crossed the Hindmata channel (in case you don't know,its a place in Dadar,Mumbai).Maybe I am exaggerating a bit ,but I wouldn't be lying if I say that it was quite close to swimming.It took me forty minutes to cross that stretch of road and now I am all soggy and super drenched.All thanks to the flooded roads !!

Nothing has been done all this while.The so called BMC(Brihanmumbai Municipal Corp..or whatever) is so incompetent that sometimes I feel if they deliver half the things they promise. Open manholes, flooded roads, blocked roads are just one of the few SMALL (pun intended !!!) problems we Mumbaiites are facing. Just one goddamn bloody rain ...and the whole city has come to a standstill ...well almost.Still the government,the so called bureaucrats,everybody claim that they are doing enough for our city. Everything is in place and B'bay can't be flooded this time.

But it did!! Again ! Just a few hours of rain since yesterday and I am stuck here...completely drenched and frustrated sitting in this Goddamn manhole of a cafe. Shanghai dreams....Not happening !!! I cant even think of one place where I can enjoy the monsoon rather than cursing it. Maybe my thought process has gone bankrupt!!!

RACISM: We are Tasting our own Medicine

When India is complaining about racist attacks on Indians in Australia, Mizoram's Chief Minister Pu Lalthanhala added fuel to the fire by saying that we Indians are racist too. He stressed on the fact that people from North East are referred either as Chinese or as Nepalis.

Being an Indian from North East (Assam), I completely understand his views. There has been soo many instances when the so called educated people ask me if ASSAM is in Nepal...? Is it just the lack of knowledge or just the seeds of racism embedded in our mind?

Why do we call anyone with oriental looks from North East as CHINKIES?Why Maharashtrians are called GHATIS?Why people from U.P. (Uttar Pradesh) or Bihar are called as BHAIYYAS?Why every Muslim is a MULLAH?Why people from the southern states of India referred to as MADRASIS, irrespective of whether they are Tamil, Kannad, Malayalee....etc?

The comments made by Mizoram's CM are drawing quite a bit of negative publicity. However, I don't think that his statements were baseless.

When a few questions like the one stated above, 'Is Assam a part of China/Nepal?' came to me, and answers which I am forced to give leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Either we seriously lack basic geographical knowledge or we simply are racist. The latter looks like the most probable answer.

This doesn't mean that I don't condemn the things happening in Australia. However, I feel that it is about time that we get our own acts right, to begin with...

Selfish Us !!!

What's wrong with us? If the wounds of recent terrorist attacks were not enough, people started digging on the same wounds making us feel all the more pain.Everyone is making new songs dedicated to the victims.Tom ,Dick ,Harry and Harry's brother are busy glorifying the whole incident and getting publicity.However recent news report says there is a movie coming out with the B'bay terrorist attack theme.It's called "TEN".People can go down to any level to get some free publicity.What's the use of making this certain movie when our wounds are still afresh.Go to some music websites ,you will come across hundreds of songs dedicated to this incident.I am sick ,tired and disgusted with all these cheap stunts.People its high time that you should refrain yourself from making or viewing such songs and movies.We don't want to make a mockery of our system.We have enough problems on our plate and such acts do us no good.Instead,the make us feel all the more vulnerable.If only all those idiots writing songs and making movies read this...alas no one will !!!!!!!!

Why???

At times some weird ideas run through my head.Probably they come when I am all dfazed and confused and can't think of something else!!! Probably thinking about unthinkables...contradicting myself !!!

Why Calamities are of two kinds?

misfortunes to ourselves, and good fortune to others.

Why do I believe in luck?

how else can you explain loosing out everything you tend to loose !!

Why nothing fixes a thing so intensely in memory as the wish to forget it?

Why we never say that we lost the game? Why do we say that we ran out of time?

Why do always cherish the misconception you have about someone you know?
Why is it that only I can provide something which you need badly : My absence.

Maybe I will say I don't want you to read this...But why am I writing it anyway?
