Change we all see but fail

In early century when I was 22 I decided now is the time to get going to live a life different from what my parents, teachers have dreamt of to live life of an engineer or a doctor, and like most other youngsters with the adrenaline rushing inside to be the change that textbooks have always spoken off on one fine day came to Bangalore. I was determined like never before inspired by India Today, Bussiness World and the like by the success stories they published again and again of Narayan Murthy, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Vijay Mallya and others.
I have somehow never luckily felt moved by the concept of locating somewhere else but India, more so by the headlines Indian businessmen have been making ever since I gained my senses from 5 years or so. Thanks to media world over by so widely articulating the India success story in all its forms be it engineering, management, entrepreneurship, science or even dabbawallahs and un-earthening the tremendous potential we as a country have, the consumer driven economy that it is.
True India has challenges probably very few countries have, be it corruption, politicians, illiteracy, poverty, etc but hey who says they can't be improved. As we all know the overall state of the nation has been gradually improving, thanks to the role played by media in highlighting the value of learning technology (computers), english etc, we are finally waking up to the vision the likes of A P J Kalam have always envisaged.
There's only thread that is acting as the biggest roadblock to the growth of the nation and it is not the population, not the geography and not the illiteracy to say the least but the so called constitutional democracy that is taken for granted in sheer disrespect to the architect who drafted every inch of it.
It's the Nilekani's, Shashi Tharoor's, you and me who need to take the oath to not to be submissive to these Raj Thackaray's, Deve Gowda's, Advani's, Narendra Modi's, 21st century Gandhi's and stand up courageously against their vote driven agendas and am sure the day will soon approach when we can say this is our India after all and embrace the change we all can cherish.
Well whether I will join that league of change makers....perhaps only time will tell.

Quash The Democracy Temporarily

Terror..terrior..terror..the latest word to join the pary of state's inability to maintain law and order. And how? rewind to 26 Nov, 2008. Why don't the terrorists blast the assemblies? May be because they together form a cool ecosyste supporting each other just to drive home their agenda....in case of politics, agenda being votes.
Hey god we no more need those 524 MPs, or MLAs, all we need is one change.....an inevitable one, a leader who can show the change with the support from people. All we need now as a final resort is a la Jr George Bush leadership. A tough one to deal for the terrorists....we no longer can afford to laugh at famous uncle sam jokes, we after all need the same approach now. A watch at every nook and corner, and perhaps only Bush can deliver this leadership.
No matter what the world says we have a right to defend ourselves, now more so after Mumbai attacks and nothing less that post 9/11 approach of US will do. And who else than Bush, who delivered it for the past 8 years without even a single minor attack....hats off to you Mr Bush.
The CPI, BJP etc who don the hat of so called left wing politics at times are pure hypocrites....had Modi's, Advani's, Sonis's or Karat's kin died in the attacks, only then would have realized the importance of ruling with sanctity.
We all Indian's must unite and stand against the dirty shit of our post independence era called as politics and I believe the courage of standing against this system will automatically put things in place one after the other and will give our nation the new blood of leadership that we all desperately require. But people of India can't alone fight the terrorists, but can alone fight the pale system of politics and then together can stand all evils....be it LeT or Al Qaeda.

Hypocrisy Personified: Chiranjeevi

There’s enough being written in the media about the marriage of Srija, daughter of Tollywood superstar Chiranjeevi and her elopement with a middle class person. Some questioned the values being propagated by the films and some presented the unbiased picture of the story. The million dollar question is what is at stake? Two hearts loving each other or father and daughter in a culturally bonded society or perhaps the wrath of youth of the nation for taking a U turn from his much admired lover boy image of Telugu movies into a hypocrite person?
Well to me it will always be the last one. Mr Chiranjeevi must not forget that he lived better pat of his career symbolizing the image of an actor with one who fights ills of society, one who respects women, one who cares for the people as a hero, and one who mesmerizes his lady love with his charm winning her heart. In a world where actors are also seen as heroes in real life thus raising the bar of expectations this unexpected gesture of turning a blind eye to his own values imposed on a larger section of society is really questionable.
Hats off to Srija for having the courage of standing up to the powerful clout of her father and taking everyone at task thus in a way reminding the whole country of many roles played by her father in similar virtual situations.
My point of bringing this matter to fore front is definitely not to offer my emotional support to Srija but to drive home the point that our society irrespective of education, profession is still full of such cheap ideological people who in the name of culture and values downsize the very sentiments of human values that stand a class above all those dubious roles played by such individuals. Marriage of Srija didn’t turn Chiranjeevi into a hypocrite person but just showcased this hidden trait of his to us thus killing numerous awakened 21st century fans.

iPhone iPhone iPhone!

Heard of it? If you haven't then it's very likely that you either aren't yet born or staying no-where else but in the jungles of amazons....
That's the Apple iPhone....most sensationalized creation by man ever. He he he to me it's just one piece of over hyped useless piece of instrument that doesn't even provide the basic features of tele-device. Well if one really wanna know it then here is the introduction....no camera compatibility, no message forwarding to its brother, no Bluetooth....what the heck?
True Apple guys are design geniuses but who cares....Let me name few more of its cousins. Apple must understand customers are ready to shell out any amount of money but hey guys don't rob them for something which isn't worth it. I can't imagine buying a Porsche or a Ferrari and then finding out it clocks 300 kmph only in test conditions....a pure s***.
Hey guys in India make sure if you end up buying it then it's 'coz you understand it the way it is and not because it's iPhone that sold more than a million pieces in just a week in US. Good Luck buyers.

Splitsvilla

Finally a winner in splitsvilla....dissapooooointingly it's Shraddha. Have followed this show quite closely a la Roadies and was worth it. Raghu Ram and MTV's this team luks like is rocking....r coming up with one after another sterling shows. Splitsvills was just one more spicy show with a grain of salt....two boys....20 girls....mind boggling concept.
I started off saying a chauvinistic show but realized it's game of one's own desire to be chosen or dumped in her quest to be winner. To add it realizing the sexist stint came the twister that ultimately man will be chosen by the lady winner....best thus far.
I am sure MTV has already started coining up the cases for splitsvilla 2 in line with roadies' success....but hey guys make sure the contestants really live up to the expectations.
Finally Miss Heena Pardesani you simply rock....unlucky dude Varun....not able to yet rationalize his choice of Shraddha thus intentionally knocking off Heena....is his ego playing role (a comment by dumped girl on Varun as an unlikely candidate for Heena in real life) or is he simply a man with no brains....whatever the truth be....the comment was right and ain't deserve Heena.....wtf Varun
