This Ganesh Chaturthi

Ganesh Chaturthi... the pomp and show of the festival matches d big name of Lord Ganesha in the Indian Mythology ( though I would not lk to call it a mythology coz I believe its nt a myth ) but after every party you organize thr is a cleaning up of d space... isnt it?? and especially if the party is yours and on your land, ( coz no one cares to clean other persons land)...

But the sad truth to which we still remain blindfolded is the aftermath of Ganesh Chaturthi... yup Ganesh Chaturthi's aftermath !!! Though its our own celebration and our city belongs to us but then also we knowingly or unknowingly remain ignorant to some facts...
Without wastin space nd time, I would like to enumerate a few of them..
* The idols are made up of Plaster of paris which acts as a polluer fr the water wherein the idols are immersed..
*The beaches nd the pathways are covered with plastic bottles, flowers, nd the litter strewn all over.
* The crackers used nw a dys adds to d air pollution and it becomes difficult fr old age persons to evn breathe, nd don frgt these are dose who ve given us dese festivals to celebrate...

For those who don believe in d above things nd say that God will care fr everyone, you would atleast nt lk to see your God whom you cared fr so many dys in such a pathetic condition, d day aftr u performed Ganesh Visarjan..

Is Sex So Bad ....

It was some 14 hrs 30 min in a hot sunday aftrnoon and Somu was gettin bored, captivated in a Hero Honda service centre watch room, the A.C ws not wrkin and d fans were blowin hot air.... He went out to ve some cold drinks, as he ws havin a sip frm his bottle, He saw d well known street near by where he ws caught with his frnd once by a police man violatin d trafffic signals, actually dat day he didn't see d signal coz he ws busy showin his frnd d two cinema halls in dat street, one of which hosted only adult movies.... He smiled and moved in the street, He saw the same theatre and the movie poster had text " Pyasi Jawani" with some unknown faces as d cast. He was scared to be caught by someone known there but d curiosity to see such a movie atleast once in life kept him stuck thr, d next show ws at 1530 hrs and it ws 1500 hrs by his watch... With all his might and adrenalin rushin thru his nerves, he decided to buy a low fare ticket fr d movie and went inside d halls lobby.
Contrary to his expectations instead of youths and teenagers most of the audience consisted of the elderly, may be some above 35 or 40 and all were quiet as hell, some murmurin to themselves, some in grps of twos or threes talkin among demselves, and d whole scene looked as if everyone had committed a crime, as if watchin a adult movie is somethg shameful.. As Somu entered d hall, he saw dirty walls, no A.C., the chairs too were lukin as if had been bought frm a haunted house...nywaz d curiosity kept his spirit still alive and he sat on one of d chair, d movie started and not even fr a single second did it caught his mind and eyes, it ws dull, borin stuff filled with a no of 2X scenes between d main cast and a forcefully inserted story. He left d hall in jus 30 min bt ws amazed with d sincerety and interest with which d others were still watchin d movie, and this clicked his mind. May be these guys were d ones who just missed d computer and CD player age and hence dey take shelter of such movie halls to quench their thirst... but are they wrong in doin dat???? Somu had often seen his frnds and seniors watchin porn in their laptops or playin CD in their CD player, and dat is all to quench their desire for sex. It is said by everyone that sex forms an important part in life and is quite natural to have a desire for it in all human beings but then why do we behave as if we have committed a crime when we watch a porn or when we talk about sex. May be the society has groomed u in such a way that u r destined to feel d conscious pricks but den even the most educated and learned too feel discussin these things or indulgin in dese as unsocial. We talk openly or more often about all abstract relationships like friendship, love, marriage etc but when it comes to physical relationship, we shut our mouth or better keep mum... and all dis is too much in a country that gave Kamsutra, a country where even d famous temples of khajurao and jaggannath temples have openly engraved naked paintings, where naked sadhu babas are worshipped fr thr bravery and ascetcism... and where we have a God "Kamdev" himself to represent authority on such subject.... puhh Somu tries to understand d reason behind it but unfortunately gets none!!!! Hope u would put some light on it..... " Is sex really so bad to discuss??? "

Suicide...

It was 1830 hrs and I was sleeping comfortably on my not so comfortable bed, suddenly my samsung L700 mobile rang, nd it ws no one else bt my father on d other side, I talked to him fr a while nd den went out to get a face wash... fr it ws VLSI paper d next day nd I had to prepare... As I ws gettin out of d bathroom, I shared regular greetings with one of my fellow hostelier nd he asked me " news to pata hi hoga??"... I said wat?? nd den it came out " ek second yr ka ladka suicide kr liya hai nd his name is ABC ".... my reaction ws " wat? why? how? ... I knew him, he ws one of ma juniors close frnd " ... The relevant details were den told " he used a Laptop charging wire, coz he ws got caught red handed cheatin in d examination nd ws forced to write on a sheet of paper dat he ws caught cheatin nd dat he shud b given a year back"..

I ws shocked nd at d same time d rage over d teacher blew out, ( My student sentiments r alwaz wid students.. watevr wron dey may do, coz To Err Is Human ). The paper ws cancelled fr d nxt day nd after a brief period of grief nd periodic discussions, almost everyone engaged in his regular activities ( off course this excludes 2nd yr coz he ws their batchmate nd dey knew him btr ).....

Everythg went on till I gt a few naked details today, his father had come to take his body, he ws smokin one cigarette every two minutes, he ws lukin sumwhere nd takin somwhere, his sister is in a state of coma, shocked after hearin dis news nd her mother has gone mad over d news rattlin watevr is cumin to her mind.... d father was watchin d pics painted by his late son nd his hands were trembling... d only thng he told ws dat is whole family is gonna die in a few months... dey ll be unable to sustain d loss.......

Even more shockin ws d attitude of a few assholes ( mind it I dnt mind usin dese wrds fr such idiots ) who blindly supported d wrong reason fr his suicide, knowin d true reason... jus coz it benefited dem ( in an indecent manner, of course), I don mind sayin it ws their lude nature dat dragged them into lying..... yes their lude nature,
it ws coz of a gal dat he committed suicide, d xam incident jus acted as a trigger....

d lyf of a young promising man is over bt it has raised a question, hauntin in ma mind... y is it so dat most of d suicides ( if nt all den a decent percentage of all suicides ) ve a gal behind dem.... I m nt against havin relationship bt y is it so dat a gal can drive u to such an extent... why? How?

After every successful man thr is a women...do we need to modify it to add dat behind every frustated, melancholy ridden man too is a woman ????

And there she goes....

The wedding bells finally ring for the tennis ace Sania Mirza, the glamour girl from Hyderabad, loved more for other things than her tennis playing abilities. Many must be upset and many would love to beat Mr. Malik who is taking this darling of ours away from us. It was class XI for me that I was infactuated, yeah, in fact infactuated towards Sania, it was her ability to play tennis which helped me identify her and it was she who dragged me infront of my television set and watch the Tennis game out there. Knowing nothing about the game, I watched the game till she was there, though I learnt a few things about the game but there were many other things to watch when she played and I am no exception to it. I would like to thank Sania from the core of my heart for bringing me first time into live politics of this country, it was her mini skirt row and the fatwa issued against her that led me to read news paper daily and follow all recent developments, it was at that time I condemned those Muslim authorities and in the course I came to know about the Salman Rushdie case; Sorry Salman I didn't feel the same for you.... And then when I came to college it was Sania's beautiful wallpapers that adored a no. of desktops, this offered me a reason to rome about all rooms to gather those wall papers in my pen drive. It was Sania's premarital sex statement that helped me know what premarial sex is... thanks again Sania... But for you I would have been still in an intellectual void.
As I have a habit to suggest amendments on every issue that comes on my table, this wedding too brings a number of issues in my brain. The morning pledge that we take should be rewritten or a few words should be omitted. Persons like Sania take the line " All Indians are my brother and sister" very seriously, may be because they are not as clever as I am to omit the whole line itself and to speak just a jumble of words if the teacher is standing beside..... I Will miss you Sania...but I swear on the infactuation I had on you that I will try my best to get Indian Pledge amended so that our future generations don't suffer, so that my son has tennis stars to choose :P

Grow up India!!!

A gay professor Mr. Sriniwas Ramchandra Siras was found dead in his room in Aligarh. This was the news in most of the Hindi and English dailies across India. As far as I guess, most of those who read newspaper must have read this news, even those who just turn the pages of news paper, go through this kind of news, the reason being that the word “Gay” tickles them. In the 21st century, it’s still a taboo among general Indian community to even speak of Gays or Lesbians, huh leave out having a different sexual orientation.
The country which gave the world most elicit books on Sex and Love, Kama sutra being the world famous, the country where architecture on temples and palaces portrays various sex positions and different sexual orientation be it Khajurao temples or even the most sacred Jagganath temple of Puri, suffers from mean mindedness on these issues.
I just feel when shall we grow up? I am not telling to move on the path of the West but shouldn’t we atleast be Indians in true sense who have had an open flare for approximately everything under the universe, we have had Gays and lesbians characters even in the most respected and Holy epics like Mahabhartha. Leave girls even boys feel uncomfortable discussing these things, even in close room discussions. You ask someone about his or her sexual orientation or what he or she thinks about sex and it seems you have done the biggest mistake of your life. If at all you have unnatural sexual orientation, you will be deserted as soon as the world knows about it. The worse part of the game is that the youngsters of India about whom our nation boasts of, are involved in these mean activities, as in the case of Prof Siras, it was AMU students who recorded his relationships through a secret camera and later demanded action against him. Though the Court took the right stand by staying the decision of AMU Board but the question remains, Till when do we need courts to solve such issues, when shall we grow up and above all these???

Yet Another Reservation....

8th March, 2010… It was the upper house of parliament in India and yet another bill for reservation was presented. This time it was on the basis of gender disparity in India. The reasons given by the two largest parties of India in this regard is women empowerment as if they will be given the right to formulate laws that work in the direction of improving women’s plight in India.
In a country like India where party view is above any individual’s view and if you stray, you will be shown the way out ( as in the case of Jaswant Singh) , will this reservation make any impact in the still male dominated upper and lower houses, is yet to be seen….. but as the history of this country suggests… It is not going to achieve any significant gain on the part of those women who are the rightful heirs of this reservation.
Moreover the reservations have had a disunifying affect on the society since it’s inception. At the time of independence Indian society was divided into a number of groups like Brahmins, Kayasthas, Rajput and so on. This rift has lessened over the years since all have been reduced to the same level due to equality of law for all of them; but the rift between these groups and SC’s has increasd and no parameter can measure it because this is what is inside and comes out when the equality is denied. General Category people from not so well to do family who don’t have a job or are denied admission in a university because they have something less than a magic percentage and their counterparts who are SC’s from a well to do family are given admissions at quite low percentages, gives birth to the feeling of prejudice in them and this is then transferred to the next generation and to the society. Instead of targeted audience, those who are benefitting are the well to do sections of the society. The rift keeps on increasing and the poor and the needy’s still venture for a fruitful assistance.
A few days back I got a mail from one of my female friend depicting the current state of society with respect to girls that appealed to the in laws of the girl to be considerate towards girls for they too are in this competitive world, competing against the boys and girls, get highly educated and secure good professional positions, yet they are expected to cook good food from the day one of their marriage, look after the parents of the boys, care for the children etc etc , all this with a job earning a handsome amount for the family, no extended office sessions, their male colleagues are seen with a suspicion on girls character and this goes on…. This is the plight of a middle income families wherein less resources put undue pressure on girl. I mentioned this mail here just to ensure that our leaders who are supporting this reservation should peep into the society and look at the ground level reality. What advantage did the reservation of women in the panchayats have had? The women in village panchayats still function as puppets in the hands of their husbands except for a few exceptions.
This reservation seems to start another rift between genders with no good to the society. Instead of starting efficient schemes for girls, giving them meaningful education, educating women in their rights and monitoring them properly, the leaders are unnecessarily engaging themselves in the melodrama at the centrestage of the country.
