I was really impressed by the movie "Gulaal" based on dirty politics in Rajasthan. Anurag Kashyap, the director has its own style to portrait his script. But I was overwhelmed by lyrics and dialogues of the movie, all credits to Piyush Mishra. Here are few lines from the song "Duniya". Similar to the movie, the lyrics is hard hitting and very true. Read this friends !
"पलछिन में रातें चली जाती हैं ,
पलछिन में बातें चली जाती हैं !
रह जाते हैं जो सवेरा वो ढूंढें,
जलते मकान में बसेरा वो ढूंढें !!
जैसी बची है वैसी की वैसी, बचा लो ये दुनिया,
अपना समझ के अपनों के जैसी, उठा लो ये दुनिया !
छिटपुट सी बातों में जलने लगेगी, संभालो ये दुनिया,
कट पिट के रातों में पलने लगेगी, संभालो ये दुनिया !!
ओह री दुनिया, ओह री दुनिया...
वो कहें हैं की दुनिया ये इतनी नहीं है,
सितारों से आगे जहाँ और भी हैं !
ये हम ही नहीं, वहां और भी हैं,
हमारी हर एक बात होती वहीँ हैं !!
हमें ऐतराज़ नहीं हैं कहीं भी,
वो आई है फाजिल हम पे सही की!
मगर फलसफा ये बिगड़ जाता है जो,
वो कहते है..
आलिम ये कहता वहां इश्वर हैं !
फाजिल ये कहता वहां अल्लाह हैं,
काफिर ये कहता वहां ईसा हैं !!
मंजिल ये कहती तब इन्सान से की,
तुम्हारी हैं तुम ही संभालो ये दुनिया !
ये उजड़े हुए चंद बासी चरागों,
तुम्हारे ये काले इरादों की दुनिया !!
ओह री दुनिया, ओह री दुनिया..."

The Theory of TWO !!! - 1
ANGER MANAGEMENT
Your close friend, suddenly shouts on you, yells at you!
He/she criticizes you, condemns and complains, in public, of no reason!
How should you react???
Generally observed behavior suggests, that there are two ways to react.
First,tit for tat! Give your friend a nice, harsh reply, so that it never happens again. Teach him/her a lesson, so that he/she may never ever dare to repeat such behavior!And again if he/she reacts,make sure you win "The War of the Words".
Second, listen calmly, and try to clarify.If the situation gets heated up,leave the topic and just don't react. Later, try to understand the reason, and try solving the issue. If its your mistake, go and say "Sorry"! Try to clarify your reasons and patch-up. But if its your friend's mistake, make him/her realize it, politely, when he is calm and ready to listen.
As per me, I prefer the second one! I found it more mature, logical, and effective.
But, why so, that most of the people around us, chose to follow the first method?
First method, will surely led to an end of relationship. And even if the relation doesn't end, there would be no mutual love and respect.
Second method, will solve the issue once for all.Moreover, relationship will get strengthened. And even if relationship ends, you will always retain a level of respect.
What's your call on it?

An Army of Beasts...!!!
Just don't forget to read this article by SHOMA CHAUDHURY of Tehelka.com.By this article she tracks the underlying psychology of vigilantes across the country.
"In Mangalore, they beat women for drinking. In Pune, they tear priceless manuscripts because they feel a historian has insulted Shivaji. In Delhi, they spit on a man at a podium because they feel he is a traitor to the nation. In Bhopal, they break a school because they feel the principal has violated the national anthem. In Bombay, they raid and pillage because they feel outsiders are stealing jobs and thwarting their mother tongue. In Orissa, they burn houses and kill people because they feel their faith is in danger of dwindling. In Gujarat, they rape and kill thousands because they want to teach a community a lesson. They pull artists’ hair, threaten writers, slap women, hit men, burn paintings, ban films, tear posters, pulp, burn, rape, kill, beat. As a matter of routine, they spill into the street.
This is not an army of beasts in some futuristic film. These are contemporary ‘keepers of tradition’, ‘protectors of society’. Zealots driven by such fierce rage and selfrighteousness, they see no irony in cannibalising the very culture, religion and nation they claim they defend."

अपराध !!!
Earlier, in my engineering days, I used to write poems in Hindi. But all those habits withered away with time. After a long gap, I have tried to write a poem. I know its bit kiddish, but hopefully you all will appreciate the effort.
एक इंसान को खुदा बुलाने की, हिमाकत कर बैठा हूँ !
इन समझदारों की दुनिया में, मैं एक अपराध कर बैठा हूँ !!
दुनिया कहती है, इंसान को इंसान रहने दो !
उसे इतना मत प्यार करो, उसे परेशान रहने दो !!
किसी को ज़िन्दगी भर खुश रखने का, लिए अरमान बैठा हूँ !
इन समझदारों की दुनिया में, मैं एक अपराध कर बैठा हूँ !!
जहाँ एक इंसान का दर्द, दूसरे के लिए मज़ा हैं !
बेड़ियों में जकड़ा है, मिली मुझे ये कठोर सज़ा हैं !!
बस अब तो खुदा के इंतज़ार में, बेताब बैठा हूँ !

Republic (HOLI)Day... !!!
Last 8 years, spent in my engineering college, company and B-school, I have never seen people turning up in huge numbers for Republic day or Independence day functions. Today is 26th January. India's and our's "Republic Day"! I have intentionally used "India's" and "Our's" separately. Reason, many people living in this country, separate themselves from India.
Today, out of 500 people in my B-school campus, only 50 appeared for the Flag hoisting ceremony. Not to forget, out of those 50 students, 20 were staff and guards. Above all, none from the administration and faculty department appeared for the function. And the ceremony finished in just 30 minutes. Nothing new in it,actually. I have been seeing this for the last 8 years.
People feel patriotism, when movie based on India gets nominated in Oscars!
People feel patriotism, when India beats other teams in Cricket!
People feel patriotism, when Indians are awarded on global level for their exemplary work!
But when it comes to Republic day, it's a mere Holiday !
The common feeling is,
"To hell with patriotism! Its better to sleep for an extra hour rather attending the flag hoisting ceremony."
I know, just not attending these functions, doesn't mean that someone is not patriotic. But if it would have been functions like, Valentine's day, Ethnic Day, Lohri, Holi etc., ceremony would have been jam-packed ! Reason, these functions have fun, dance and entertainment elements into it. Moreover, people get chance to showoff their dresses or to click snaps of themselves. People tend to believe, Republic or Independence day functions as boring and unnecessary.
Yes, these functions don't have fun element, but don't they make you feel,"Proud"?
It reminds me of my School days, where Republic Day and Independence Day functions were compulsory. Patriotic songs are sung, folk dances are presented, ,sweets are distributed, march-past and parades are held. We as teens, used to enjoy those functions with enthusiasm. All these events, adds to the feeling nationalism and patriotism among us.
So what's difference between "School Days" and "College Days"?
Now we are more educated (graduates and post-graduates) and we all are less patriotic!
Is there any relation between education and patriotism?
Doesn't it make a statement!

What's your Facebook status... ???
Can you imagine, what is the impact of Facebook in the world's most powerful country, USA ?
Let me be blunt and straight.
A man brutally attacked his wife with knife and killed her.
So what’s so special about it?
He killed his wife just because, she changed her profile status on Facebook from married to single !
As per news from BBC, "Edward Richardson, 41, was found guilty of stabbing Sarah Richardson to death. He killed the 26-year-old hairdresser at her parents' home in Brown Lees, Staffordshire, on 12 May, 2008."
Among all the social networking websites, Facebook is the biggest phenomenon among US citizens.
I am speechless !!!

End to Early-Age Rat-Race !!!
Let's get back to memories of the childhood!
Remember, you always wished play with your friends or to watch cartoon, but were always pulled back! Remember, all the scolding that you have got, either from your parents and teachers!
And every time you protested, you were repetitively told, "Study, otherwise you will FAIL !"
From the day we entered the school, we all were victims of tuitions, coaching, peer competition, parent's expectations and what not!
Thank god, the next generation would not be victim of this "Early-age Rat-Race".
Recently, Rajya Sabha, have passed a bill, "Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Bill, 2008", according to which, a student cannot be failed for the reasons of poor performance, up to a certain age.
As quoted in economic times, "No school in the land can fail or turf out children for reasons of poor performance until a certain stage. The onus of responsibility for academic progress would, in fact, rest on the schools themselves. Now this is reason enough to cause rapturous joy among the youngsters, hitherto victims of the undeniable tyranny of an early-age rat race. "
Hurray !!!

Fight Back Gals...!!!
Saturday evening, sitting in McDonalds, Gossips n Food!!!
What a Life!!! Life full of fun.
But if you will spare your eyes away from friends, you could see a promotional screen in most of the McDonalds. Many advertisements are shown in the screen from movies to websites.
Just a glimpse to it, and I read,"Visit www.fight-back.net".
It created a curiosity in my mind.What is this fight-back? I waited for that advertisement to repeat.And I saw something special, something of my interest.
I rushed back home,browsed the website and I was impressed! It was something which I always wished to do.

Moreover, it also includes Hall of Shame which includes name and stories of famous cases, their convicts and other relevant information. So if you want to read something about Priyadarshini Mattoo, or Manu sharma, go this website. Moreover, this website is linked to Facebook also.
This websites is really relevant for women, as they can acquire more knowledge, and they can be more alert, smart, proactive. We need our women counterparts to fight-back against any type of harassment. It may be eve-teasing, rape, molestation or something else.
So friends, go to this website, read, and spread awareness!!!

KFC -- "Kentucky Fried Cruelty"
As soon as you enter Forum Mall, our taste buds gets flooded with a yummy feeling. Reason? KFC !!! Many of my friends, love to eat at KFC. Those who love chicken dishes, prepared in american style, can't resist KFC.But PETA has started an advertisement campaign against KFC. They have come up with very interesting billboards, print ads, posters, leaflets, stickers to spread awareness to boycott KFC globally.
PETA says,"KFC suppliers cram birds into huge waste-filled factories, breed and drug them to grow so large that they can’t even walk, and often break their wings and legs.

KFC -- "Kentucky Fried Cruelty"
As soon as you enter Forum Mall, our taste buds gets flooded with a yummy feeling. Reason? KFC !!! Many of my friends, love to eat at KFC. Those who love chicken dishes, prepared in american style, can't resist KFC.But PETA has started an advertisement campaign against KFC. They have come up with very interesting billboards, print ads, posters, leaflets, stickers to spread awareness to boycott KFC globally.PETA says,"KFC suppliers cram birds into huge waste-filled factories, breed and drug them to grow so large that they can’t even walk, and often break their wings and legs. At slaughter, the birds’ throats are slit and they are dropped into tanks of scalding-hot water—often while they are still conscious."

TATA NANO : A Threat ?
Nobel Prize winner and the Chairman of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Dr.R.K.Pachauri says that TATA NANO is giving him nightmares.Too many vehicles on road will increase emmisions,resulting in further environment instability.Other companies like Suzuki have raised the question that how would NANO fare on the parameters of safety and environment suitability.
Moreover,if Nano will be a success then it would be very easy for every one to buy a car.Nano will be the first car for lower income group.Middle and upper income groups will buy another car for their wives and their other adult family members.Thus imagine,indian roads filled up with so many cars.Already,the roads of India are not very wide,and later on,will result in huge traffic problems.Also,petrol costs are rising high and when so many cars will be there,demand for petrol will increase by leaps and bounds.That too,cars gave mileage of 20-25 km./lt. whereas a bike gives an average of 45-75 km./lt.
Again,our government could be a step ahead,by improving the infrastructure of metros and two-tier cities especially,to reduce future traffic problems.Government could also encourage people to ride more bicycles and bikes.They could also think upon other forms of fuels like bio-diesel to reduce India's dependency on petrol and OPEC countries.
