Favorite Song

These are few lines from lage raho munna bhai

शहर की इस दौड़ में दौड़ के करना क्या है?

जब यही जीना है दोस्तों तो फ़िर मरना क्या है?

पहली बारिश में ट्रेन लेट होने की फ़िक्र है भूल गये भीगते हुए टहलना क्या है?

सीरियल्स् के किर्दारों का सारा हाल है मालूम पर माँ का हाल पूछ्ने की फ़ुर्सत

कहाँ है?

अब रेत पे नंगे पाँव टहलते क्यूं नहीं?

108 हैं चैनल् फ़िर दिल बहलते क्यूं नहीं?

इन्टरनैट से दुनिया के तो टच में हैं,

लेकिन पडोस में कौन रहता है जानते तक नहीं.

मोबाइल, लैन्डलाइन सब की भरमार है,

लेकिन जिग्ररी दोस्त तक पहुँचे ऐसे तार कहाँ हैं?

कब डूबते हुए सुरज को देखा त, याद है?

कब जाना था शाम का गुज़रना क्या है?

तो दोस्तों शहर की इस दौड़ में दौड़् के करना क्या है

जब् यही जीना है तो फ़िर मरना क्या है?

Dis-Orientation

There is no such thing as personal time.

Make your money work for you.

Take a holistic approach to your work.

Casual leave. VOIP. Teamwork.

The past week has been a blur of catchphrases, technical terms, keywords, acronyms and whatnot.

Met a LOT of people, can correlate maybe half their names and faces .,,

In an unknown city, house-hunting is biggest difficulty.

Got a wide variety of free food several times daily.

All in all it's been interesting.

Olympic torch : London protest

 

On Sunday the 06 April 2008, Olympic torch was invited with widespread protest and scuffle between police and demonstrators.The seen was more like an protest against the recent issues of china with Tibet.

I was watching in the television that few demonstrators tried to snatch the Olympic torch from the runners and even one of the demonstrator tried to put off the flame with fire extinguisher.

I learned through news that atleast  three dozen of protestors were arrested for disrupting the torch relay.

Security persons have to cut short the torch relay in London, after the heavy protest. It has to go thorough 31 miles. But most part of the relay was covered by carrying the torch in bus.

I don't agree in mixing sports with the politics. Olympic game is the biggest sporting event and it is not only for China but it is for the entire world. Mixing the politics into torch relay in London and Paris won't make any changes in the China nor Tibet is going to get independence.

I am not going to comment about the china and Tibet stand, I will rather prefer to stay away from this talk. I think this is utter waste of energy and time to try and convince those radical people.

But China would have never thought of getting into the trouble so much. It would have thought of making huge money by conducting the game. China  is now trapped in its own trap.

We have to appreciate Tibet for using the conditions in their favour. Through this they have attracted the entire world to look into them and have attracted the human rights for their support.

I am sure such demonstration won't even a minute difference to china. I believe if we want to support Tibet really then we can do that by simple way i.e. just by boycotting cheap electronic and household goods imported from china. This way will really make a difference to china rather than going on streets and protesting.

Finally, awarding Olympic games host to the China was the biggest mistake.

"WE NEED PEACEFUL OLYMPICS"

Hogganikal: Tamilnadu Govt. Stand

After much of the protest in various places and by many organisations, finally Tamilnadu government puts a hold on the Hogganikal project till the end of the Karnataka state assembly election.

Chief minister of Tamilnadu but made the point clear that if the solution is awful after the election, then Tamil's won't sit silently.

By this statement he is clearly referring that the tensions may prevail after the Karnataka state assembly elections.   

This decision by Tamilnadu government has opened a space for speculation against government. Now the government is under criticism by various opposition parties and by public.

In my view, this is decision is taken to support congress in Karnataka as DMK is in its allies in the centre. So DMK don't want to upset the government in the centre

Is copyright right to copy in India?

History repeats itself at least for Indian cinema

recently When accused that his movie is straight copy from hollywood movie The dream team,director of Krazzy 4 Jaideep Sen said that the similarity in the films is “sheer coincidence.”

This is not the first time even in Past there has been such incidents

1) Sony Pictures Entertainment threatened to sue producers K Sera Sera for $30 million for copying the Will Smith-starrer Hitch into Partner.

2)in 2003,Barbara Taylor Bradford filed a suit against the channel claiming that it's serial Karishma was a copy of her novel A Woman of Substance.

I am also told Munnabhai mbbs is an inspired movie along with likes of

Kaante,Baazigar,zeher etc.(list is too long)

Are copyright laws doing enough to protect the intellectual property in India?

Bursting sphere

Whenever I have a really big argument or am upset about something, I prefer to channel the anger into organising something, or going for a walk by myself.

Yesterday at about eight in the night, I found myself walking along the rain drenched roads, splashing not so clean water onto my freshly laundered jeans. With the songs of 'Sivaji' playing in my ears and a brisk bounce in my step I managed to walk, or rather wear, most of my anger out.
The past few days have been a little affecting, to say the least. I have slowly built some semblance of order into my life where I find that I have a tight circle of friends where I am comfortable. And though old memories sometimes haunt me, I don't long for old times.
Break ups in relationships can bring out the bad and the good in people. I wont pretend that I haven't said a lot of things I didn't regret, and on reflection, I could have handled a lot of situations much better. But I also seem to have seized the opportunity to emerge stronger. I have been doing certain things for myself that I should have done a long time ago.
Sometimes I wonder 'what if' and if anything, at all, is permanent. People who I call friends, I expected them to permanent. But even that may not stand the test of time and trust. But once that bond is broken, it's hard to get it back. I realised that the hard way. And Im not yet ready to give that either. With a lot of unresolved matters, letting bygones be bygones would be apt. People move on. Personally, I don't think I have the strength again to place trust and love in a once soured relationship.
Ages ago, I made a mistake with a friend of mine. But it got sorted out well. Now I think something similar has happened to me..only I am on the receiving end. Full circle. Perhaps I don't have a right to be, but am quite hurt about it.
Its almost twelve. But all my belongings are superficially organised and I don't quite think I can go for a walk by myself right now....

swing

After a long time today, I set foot in a park. And swung on a swing, if that is how it is called. The park had a huge iron bridge, that we had to cross. And quite steep it was too..I slipped a couple of times and clutched at the hand rail a little cautiously. And glanced enviously at the little kids who scampered past me and over the bridge without a thought.

I would be lying if I said that I wasnt apprehensive as I approached the swings. But excitement overcame the apprehension and I tied up my dupatta and lightly sat on the swing, and tested it for weight, I was quite ok.

At first it felt pretty weird, because its been a while, but pretty soon I was swinging like a pro. The swing wasnt quite built for adults, and was, thus, quite low. I had to fold up my legs appropriately to achieve the momentum I wanted. And soon, I was laughing as I achieved higher heights. Im sure some people were quite startled to see an adult swinging on a child's swing right in the middle of a park, but that didnt quite matter.

Unfortunately, as much as I would like to go back to the age when I could swing for hours together, I must accept otherwise. In about ten minutes, my head was slightly spinning. And I had to stop, or risk throwing up. I sighed. I would have liked to swing a little longer.

As I walked back, it struck me that as time passes, we lose smaller moments like these, ones that we cherished when we were younger. The swings, dripping ice cream, playing silly games, and chasing each other around. I recaptured one, if only for a short while. Maybe Ill just drip ice cream all over and run around for a while.

its been a while

its been quite a while since i've blogged...ages really.. and in this time span i've started work...moved to a new place and met tons of new people...while at the same time, all my friends have found a job, moved away, continued studying or have gotten married. its weird. the whole concept of growing up. it seems like yesterday when i used to fight with my father's friends..and today, i'm working, they can't grasp the concept either.
Its like, you are so detached from what is happening, when in fact its your life you're watching unfold. its a concept i'm yet to grasp-one of responsibility, one of a world so different from the one you know at home and amongst friends. A world that isnt exactly enticing in its being either!!
But you learn to live. and that i believe i have; it is so true- the concept of survival of the fittest, though your definition of the fittest may differ from person to person...it is survival at the end of the day.
Its like everybody lives in parallel worlds. Everyone has a life that is moving in fast track. parallel and simultaneously, just very different from yours. Friends, Family,Strangers-everybody.
I guess this is what i dont understand...that every life is intertwined, as by the chaos theory but at the same time independent in its being...it has to be one of life's mysteries, one i'm not so sure would hold as much allure and questioning if someone were to stumble upon the answer :)

Live Funeral

This is the not a funny topic. It is real funeral that has gone live on Internet.

Few days back, I was going through some news then I was surprised to notice that in UK

"funeral is live".

You have to pay for every views. This service allows mourners from different parts of the world, who cannot attend funeral in person for their last respect.

I don't remember the name of the company which has launched this service.

You just have to pay around 75 pounds for the Webcast of the funeral then the service provider will give mourners a password to access.

The coverage is done with the small camera mounted in chapel.

I was amazed now, how human has advanced with his technologies.

But this advancements in technologies, has made human lazy and selfish.

Of course I accept that  families are scattered across the world and it is not always possible for every one to be on time for funeral.

But the  point is will this service give us the same feeling of being present ourselves in funeral.

I think with this live Webcast we won't be getting any real feeling rather it is only

"Virtual Feeling"

Shoaib Out of Cricket

All cricket fans got a shocking news from PCB on

"April Fool's Day"

News is not to make every one fool. Instead it is real.

Maverick, world's pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar was banned from playing cricket for five years.

Ban was imposed by Pakistan Cricket Board on the ground of

misconduct and;

repeated violation of players code of conduct.... 

This may end his international careers. Through out his career, he was always plagued with controversies.

This ban is for criticising PCB publicly.

He is banned from all forms of cricket. 

But he is allowed to play

"Indian Premium League".

This has ended his career of  eleven years of world's fastest bowler.

He will always be missed by  all cricket lovers ...

~~Cheers~~

 

 

Reservation.... do we care??

Even beofre i write anything about the SC order for 27% reservation to OBCs in universities, i can't help but think that i don't care anymore. The reservation issue has been irritating and frustrating me for so long that now when i hear something about it, all i say is ... "to hell with it!!".

Is there a point talking about this anymore? nobody is listening, nobody is bothered. When the Supreme Court is dumb enough not to realize the gravity of this judgement, how can one expect politicians to!!

All said and done, it is a democracy. Ah, our beloved democracy. The only fucking problem is that indian majority is invariably wrong!! What about these SCs backing Mayawati and not realizing that they haven't gained shit during her reign apart from a dozen Ambedkar statues on the street crossings and parks. Even Mulayam singh appears an angel in comparison and we all know what a worthless soul he is.

When will we get any wiser? its not politicians playing the vote bank politics, its us who let them take us for a ride. When everyone and their aunts know that our leaders are backing reservation for votes and not for upliftment of the backwards, then why not vote them out? Oh, i forgot, we will vote them out. We always do. And then what? The alternative any better? I see myself writing the same shit about the next govt and then the next one and so on so forth.....

It doesn't end, ever. Its the supreme constant. The source of all things evil. Yet,central to everything. May be "govt" is the real god. Or may be the tangible form of god. But i'm glad atleast we are practising Polytheism. Makes us feel different and gives us a choice to decide whom we should let fuck us over.
