Actors=Policticians, Politiacians=Actors, Reverse Roleplay??

So actors becoming politicians haan. Seems that we can't find even few find few ppl to represent our constituency so that we hire ppl who can sham that they are are the "real" candidates and eventually to no ones surprise they turn out to be the one !!!. So wat if we are counted as the smartest brain in the world, so what if our medicos have made India a medical tourism haven, so what if we were the first to discover zero, so what if we were a phoenix to become the largest democracy, so what if we are a land of kamasutra, so what if our economy is booming but my dear friend all those fasts nullify when we say that we have chosen MPs like Dharmendra, Govinda and Navjot Singh Siddhu. They make nothing but a mockery of our democracy. How the hell they can be called Member of Parliament when they haven't even attended 20% of the sittings of the house. Its pathetic to c that these actors are just using their status to make the democracy dance to their tune. How pathetic it feels feels when actors like these become MPs of and and make an ass of themselves appearing as a regular host on a comedy TV show when they are supposed to be solving problems of the common people of that constituency. Does somebody need to be Einstein to realize the fact?? .. I am too being too despondent being just a mock spectator of that situation. If it wouldn't have been 24th yr of my birthday I would have been contesting election. I am not saying that I am the best but surely I do know what are the duties of a MP and it doesn't even take a graduate to know that. But u know we are Indians, we will be driven by Glamor , we will be sold by the bottle of "pouvva" our netas gives us to vote for them. And he will be the next MP. how the hell does it matter to the man? he got his share of "pouvva" what else can he demand for? can he demand for education for every child in his village? can he demand for water for every tap ? can he demand for return of every bit of his blood he had shed while ploughing the field? . I say No , A bloody NO beacuse there is munnabhai, there is munnabhai to fullfill his political aspirations (he says he wants to do samaj sewa thats y he entered politics, bloody my foot). He will be in the ruling party next yr and can amend the laws very easily that suits his situation. A man who should be behind the bars will be contesting elections. Congratulations my sweet democracy for giving me MPs like Govinda and Siddhu on whom I can make 'n' number of jokes and wudn't even realise that he is the fuckin MP of our country.
So do not vote my dear. And let these MPs represent your country. Please and please DO NOT exercise your right to vote and let these jokers rule you. Because we deserve it.
So, next time please give a thought before NOT voting.


Jai Ho!!!

Incomprehensible "Love"


Does it happen with you that most of the self indulgence with ur thoughts happens while u r traveling?. Well, with me its the case. I just dive in to my sea of thoughts whenever I travel, be it train, bus, car, or the shared auto that I take for the office. The one thing thats rattling my mental peace and baffling me with its enigmatic nature is the topic "Love". Its been so much talked about and plethora of books and novels have been written over it since time immemorial. But still if you pose this question to 10 different ppl "What is love?". Chances are you may get 11 different answers . Having through a couple of relationships I think the so called "love" still seems to be an enigma to me. Still figuring out wt its real meaning is ? Is it wat that is portrayed in books and movies or is it something else? Or its just that its there...somewhere.... but u keep looking for it in all the wrong places. But diving a bit deep I got to know what could be a probable reason. Falling in love and finding the "true love" are two different things. I think in the first case, you can fall in love with anybody with whom u are attracted to (physically, emotionally)over a period of time. But in the second case destiny plays a major part. Its not the case that people find true love so easily. But most of the ppl get trapped coz the initial stages in both the cases are same. U feel the same excitement, the same caring, the same feel good things. But its only at later stages that u r confronted by the real harsh facts. The excitement goes away, the understanding and commitment comes into picture. U feel no more the way u did. Then what?. And the situation becomes worse if one of the partner feels the same way as he or she did in the initial stages. Dream worlds come crashing in front front of u. So at that crossroads what should you do if your partner love and cares for u a lot but you don't feel the same? Is it my fault? Beleaguered by moral questions and pragmatic thoughts, u feel mired in net of thoughts. Something tears u apart. So what should one do in that situation? Be true to him and his/her partner or just keep on carrying that pus in his/her mind? Its not an easy decision to take. The repercussions of detachment is never an easy experience. And what follows is aptly depicted in latest movie Dev D. called "emotional atyachar" ( where the protagonist till the end believes that he was "in love" with the heroine but eventually it turns out that it was nothin like that anh how possibly it could be if he didn't even knew her that well) But the point I have learned is that it takes time to know. There is no way u can know in the beginning itself. I wish there were litmus tests we could perform at the beginning only so that we could find out if its the real one. And more of what I have learned till now from my relationships is "what love is not"..I knw I am being an a$$ being true.. but thats the only option I have got... I have been after mirages in my life so far...but hoping for a resert rose ..as in I won't b looking for it...but still keeping my fingers crossed.

Talibanization??....Screw u !!!

Mangalore incident, MNS's agitation against non-marathis and now various right wing activists issuing warning against youths celebrating V-day. Somehow these events have one thing in common, and that is some section of people are becoming insecure and impatient. MNS was not enough that here comes one more group of publicity mongers in the name of "protecting Indian culture ", and the bunch of goons call themselves the Ram Sena. Like many, I too was very upset over the event that took place in Mangalore and now various Hindu Right wing organizations issuing warning against young couples from celebrating valentines day. It is ironic that the group that led the attack claims to be doing all this is to protect Indian Culture while their deeds(molesting, beating women, etc) were sinister and not Indian in any way. They say that women are not supposed to drink and dance according to Indian Culture.
My stand is first of all who the hell gave you goons the right to represent or becoming the saviors of Indian culture?. Which Indian culture are you talking about dear ? The one in which women are treated as second class citizens? or the culture in which dowry systems, Child marriage, Sati Pratha, and where women are confined to kitchens only?. People like Muthalik can't digest the kind of progress Indian women are making in every sphere of life. I take proud to be citizen of a country where women are making mark in every field. Be it the president, Indra Nooyi, Kalpana Chawla, Sania Mirza all have made us proud globally. People like Muthalik should get some facts clear before pukes his filthy cultural saving ideas in media. First, Indian culture can't be dictated by bunch of goons upon anybody. The Indian culture has never been static, it have always been in evolving state, its dynamic. It assimilates the good things of other cultures and shelves the bad and outdates values. Indian Culture is like a river, it decides its own path. So you can't come at a point in time and demark it "its the limit and I pronounce it Indian culture". You can't confine it dear. You cant do that and you dont have any right to do that. The values that our culture teaches us that will surely be tested against time and if they stand against it , people will surely keep following them. And the useless ones will be scrapped. People like Muthalik exploit the youth that is not educated enough and these directionless youth find these kind of organizations to vent out their anger and frustration. I mean seriously dont these people have nething to do in life? Must be not. Coz then only these people are are easily misguided.
And then comes the comments by various politicians and mediapersons on the issue. The opinion seems to be divided among the politicians . Some like Gehlot, Karnatka CM and Ramadoss are against the pub culture while the others like Renuka Choudhary feels like the decision should be left on the individual to decide. Mr. Gehlot says he won't allow youth culture to hold hands in malls and public places. Who the hell think he is to stop us from doing it .Although I am not a supporter of Public Display of Affection ( PDA) but I dont need nebdy to tell me what to do and what not to . I wont do it doesn't mean I should not have the right. Its a personel choice.
If we can vote and choose leaders at the age of 18 I think we surely can make better personal choices at the age of 21. Although I support Mr. Ramadoss's decision to ban smoking in public places I am not at all convinced by the kind of remarks he issued regarding pub culture. He should better know when to draw a line of enforcing personal ethos on the whole Nation.
And my last words to MNS and Sena is Indian Culture is not your personal property . Indian culture has always been evolving and will always be . Frogs like you should come out of well and realize that its not the ladies having couple of drinks with a bunch of friends bringing bad name to Indian Culture but molesters like u. Better correct your basics.
