Shameless Smokers

For a better comprehension of the post ahead, readers need to acknowledge the fact that I neither smoke nor drink. In this post, I would be talking about smokers in particular and drinkers in general.

Gone are the days when one used to value the importance of austerity in life and even thought of being a teetotaler. When I entered my first year in college, I too recognized the fact that youths love enjoying life without feeling any ethical reservations. But, anyways, respect of individuality is what I appreciate and follow. Infact many a times, I myself encourage my friends to drink/smoke to enjoy the limited valuable years of bachelor life and bust the sullen ambience surrounding one’s aura

But anyways, appropriate reciprocating response is always absent as is expected by persons similar to me. Just mentioning them in brief:

  1. Smokers never give a damn to the fact that their smoking is passive smoking for others. Many a times they pretend as if they care but that is mostly due to the market value of the person concerned and in long run, the real face gets often revealed. Worst scenario arises when the smoker is your roomie’s friend. In this particular case, he won’t even inquire regarding your personal choices and inconveniences.

  1. Greatest emotional attyachar is when you go to some place and they offer to have some sweet/paan/soft drink etc together which you deny due to various reasons. Instantly they would also say no their whim. This solidarity pledge often sounds ridiculous. When you had to drink/smoke, you left us all and did merry making/partying with your similar friends and didn’t give a shit to the fact that I am alone, but now all of a sudden, this momentary expression of love sounds confusing.

  1. Smokers/drinkers would always pretend that they have finally got some elixir and now they are having best of their time in some self imagined heaven and treat the non-smokers as sullen beings fed up with their lives. God knows why the hell they feel that they are the only gifted and the happy lads.

Personally I have also seen that smokers have a restricted gamut while selecting friends, they always look for friends with similar interests. While a non- smoker is always open to friends of any type. Hence, I have experienced that smoking habits block you from getting fresh friends and ideas

I hope my friends with similar interests would be having pretty similar experiences

My head bows for them and all the resident respect in my heart emanates for those only who manage to keep the values taught by their parents alive, in this naked professional world. They are the real fighters of adversities in life


P.S. This is my first unedited post

2 Birthdays Together and The Real Good News!!!!

For past many days, I had been putting the status of “2 birthdays together” at GTalk and other such places. Everyone kept asking the story behind it, today is high time that I should reveal the mystery behind it.

31st October is my birth date and very fortunately my nephew got born on the same day itself. Not only was the day same, but other factors such as time in hours are also same as we both were born at 8 o’ clock in the morning. So very luckily, we share the same Sunshine and Kundali as well. So it’s like mayank getting reborn again, as everyone says.

So far we have named him as Jhatpat lal, as he came in this world a month before the scheduled date. Here I would like to mention that though doctors had given the date of 25th November, I was having this intuition that perhaps the lucky date would be my birth date only, and by God’s grace, he got born on the same day.

Aaj Rahul Ne Kya Kiya ???

Indian politics has perennially been obsessed with the term Gandhi. Gandhiian dynasty post independence has predominantly ruled India as their own cultivation, forced ill-treated Indian junta to fallaciously fantasize a fancy that Kashmir borders stretch as shown in 50 paisa maps while conceding to continual threats of China/Pakistan, defying self only acknowledged theory of Panchsheel, under the pretext of non violence and hence projecting India as big girl’s blouse. The purportedly prescient Congress, that always opposed birth based casteism, prophesied century’s greatest precognition by introducing portentous reservations – new discrepancy to end old disparity. Indian junta - Habitual of pursuing a leader, was brainwashed to believe that Nehru (Father of POK) and Indira (Mother of emergency) took India to world’s centre stage. Remarkably none of them was chosen because of his/her leadership abilities. Nehru was biased against Sardar Vallabh as he was the most favorite disciple of Mahatma Gandhi. Indira Gandhi wasn’t the best party worker available to Congress. Obviously when one is born in a family as royal as hers, she would get plenty of opportunities to convince general public and henceforth prove that her candidature is the mandate of Indian public. This entire drama is played with the help of media. Next to join this league of extra ordinary politicians is Mr. Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi was a born introvert and the early deaths of his grandmother and father made his life traumatic at a premature age. He was very shy in his college as well and was talented enough to graduate from Trinity College (he failed in one of the subjects though). He wasn’t interested in joining politics but always had dreams of a developed India. How he decided to join politics is still a debatable issue but perhaps the plight of Indian politics or the mandate of congress party workers, made him change his mind. We know all this either by calculation or by virtue of media coverage. Once Rahul decided to join and decided to put forth his candidature, this coverage saw exponential increase. If one looks at past editions of any newspaper, one can easily tell when Rahul ate sweet at a dalit’s residence, when he spoke first in public or Lok Sabha, when he decided to step down as minister and when he decided to give himself some more time. Many a times it came to my mind that instead of scripting small columns speckled here and there at newspaper’s visage, newspaper should commence a devoted column titled “Aaj Rahul ne kya kiya”.

Surprisingly, I don’t know any of such detail about the daughters of Advani or Pawar. I admire media for the way it gave public a chance to look into the tragic lives of Rahul and Priyanka. But I know many persons who lost their parents in childhood and henceforth fought not only with fate but with poverty as well while Rahul remained under the aegis of his royal family. So who is more of a leader and more educated? Is it Rahul or the common middle class man? Here media instead of looking for unique abilities, put forth Rahul as a cultured educated youth based on most prevalent virtues. If these facts alone make him eligible for PM candidature then 99 % of the Indian masses deserve to be PM. A common man fights with the hardships to give proper education/food to his family. Who is tougher? I feel Middle class youths should take pride in hardships they face every other moment; they are no less than Mr Rahul.

Rahul’s coyness and vision has always been highlighted. It sounds astonishing that at a point where the media should have condemned him for the lack of leadership aptitude, it always treated him as if he is in some ‘How to be a PM’ classroom and would improve in next to no time. Rahul was always the undeclared PM of media. No wonders why they gave so much coverage to his first speech in Lok Sabha as if Indian politics was waiting for his speech alone. Several other MPs give their first speech every other day, then why this preferential treatment? Introversion should have made him an ideal husband but definitely not the PM of India, but alas! Our media didn’t learn a bit from the blunder that our shy PM made at recent balochistan issue. No reporter points out the need of a good debater in Indian politics and no channel mentioned that when Rahul appreciated Nitish, it was pure politics and nothing more than that. Even today media found praise in the fact that Rahul did trekking; however was worried about results of state assembly elections (But why he took a cameraman there?)

After 2009 general elections, congress got the clear verdict. Rahul Gandhi was once again extolled for his sacrifice as he repudiated the post of minister and preferred working as a party worker. Had Sachin pilot made such sacrifice, I would have appreciated it because as long as Rahul captures the center stage, he can only imagine becoming a minister at most. But if Rahul makes such sacrifice, that is more of a premeditated move. Congress is ordained to be in power for next 5 years and hence instead of making hasty moves, projecting rahul as a “Tyaag ki murti” is a much safer bet. Had congress failed to get majority, Rahul would have been the next PM without delay after a pre-intended drama of party workers demanding youth participation blah blah.

If Rahul Gandhi, destined to be the PM of dumb headed Indian junta, sacrifices his ambitions of becoming a PM and prefers to stay at ground level, I would be the first person to vote for him. If he really is what he showcases during his India tour (in which he is always accompanied by a reporter), I challenge him to step down from PM in waiting.

The Crap That is Bollywood

The worst, horrendously lethal lie that I have ever come across in my life is “our movies reflect the Indian society”, as claimed by heaps of bollywood directors. Quite shamelessly they have been declaring so since decades and still continue to do so. Here I would be averring that this so called bollywood is nothing more than a crap meant to fool the Indian public and has nothing indigenous or original in it

The lack of originality starts with the name itself. The term bollywood is a copied version of Hollywood. Since ages this name was very fondly used till bollywood spread its business overseas. Bollywood personalities were mocked at the copied name and hence the new generation started calling it ‘The Hindi film industry’. But the amount of Hindi that is spoken in any award function would seriously compel you to consider the feasibility of this name. Very few actors in bollywood have a Hindi background nowadays and they are often found jibing classical Hindi and taking pride in inserting English words/phrases in their dialogues, songs and what not.

Now coming to the basic question - do our movies really reflect our society in general? Innumerable examples may be quoted. Let’s start with the basic composition of any bollywood movie – family and relations. Hot issues like rape, premarital sex, abortion etc have been dealt with such havoc in bollywood that every Indian learns this adult things right in childhood. I can bet many of us haven’t come across any such incident in reality and only face embarrassment while watching these so called family movies with family. Almost every movie in 70s’ depicted rapes under the pretext that we are showing what is happening in the society, but they only helped causing more rapes in the society. Shame on such movies and movie industry.

Most of the family movies sound more like an overdose of emotions and the irony is that the role of sati savitri is given to the most famous who** , meaning to say that actors are considered more for their face value and less for their fitness in the role. That is why you will find the great over actors like Sharukh Khan as King Khan in this great bollywood and actors like Irfan Khan, Nana Patekar, Om puri doing monotonous roles. Even good actor like Ajay devgan is rarely considered for some Yashraj banner pure romantic movie, since he is not chocolaty and wheatish people seldom love!!!

The only thing that they cannot show is some western trend of nudity or incestuous relationship due to society constraints Not astonishingly, even these have been attempted but could not create a success brigade as they got financially crippled. But thanks to Bhatt camp, one can find them again in our movies under the pretext of modern society/ young trends and other such bullshit. What about this one – even actor as old as Dilip Kumar has acted in a movie on wife swapping which is a completely borrowed subject. Hmmm, bollywood has been copying and presenting damn anything right from start.

To Be continued.........

( A very typical scenario found in every bollywood movie is the one in which young children of main lead actor or the childhood version of main lead actor is always shown being educated in some convent school under the aegis of a holy father. This scene manifests two blind assumptions at a time. Firstly, all missionaries give comparatively good character education and secondly, all aspiring youths go for English medium convents rather than some sort of Hindi medium vidya mandir. At this place, I would like that all readers should themselves probe into these blind, far away from reality depictions. One can take help of my previous posts to find out the truth behind mission of holy missionaries. So one can see how clearly our directors have been brain washing our minds to believe that whatsoever comes from west is better, no wonders why the middle class takes pride in mentioning their convent related background. Angrez chale gaye par apne kutte yahin chhod gaye. )

The Best Doctrine

I was really compelled to express my gratitude towards a doctrine which changed my life forever, a doctrine which holds its existence from the time immemorial and still defines each and every of our actions, immaterial of our faith in it. The doctrine of Karma is a theory which controls this entire universe and as per me it is the best spiritual material a consistent mind can ever come across. Loads of material is there at internet and I could have cut/paste them here, but here I would try to explain this theory within the realms of my perception.

Starting from movies like Matrix to serials like Lost and till the speech of Steve Jobs at Stanford, innumerable times I have come across the term Karma being used in English society. Curiosity arose to know, what at all is there in this doctrine that westerners keep chanting it every now and then? This was the time when I first became interested in theology and did a comparative study

Rational minds often don’t believe in the existence of God. At a time, I too was unable to explain as to why someone dies of hunger while someone is wasting food just to satisfy his tongue. At one side a girl is torturously raped and on the other side a child dies of illness in front of its own mother. Why at all God is so partial and just to explain this thing, atheists take the name of chance/luck/nature.

So the basic question that bothers everyone is that if at all there is God, then why is he so partial/blind. Now let us leave this spiritual plane and enter the material plane. Material plane is governed by Newton’s third law which states that for each and every action, we are bound to get an equal and opposite reaction. If a ball strikes the ground then ground will also strike the ball. Tit for tat. This law holds universally, so further examples are not required

Now let us enter the reference frame of this world. If this world will create pollution then the world will have to suffer from global warming. If this world engages in world war, world only will suffer. Definitely, no one else would.

Consider the reference frame of society. If the society will not deal with crimes, crimes will increase and society only will suffer in the future. Once again, tit for tat.

At personal level, we can say that if you not take care of your health you only would suffer, no one else. If you would not study, you will fail. Here too, tit for tat.

So at all levels and frames, one has to reap what he sows and this exactly is the gist of Bhagwad Gita where Lord Krishna defines that one has to pay for its actions. Spiritual plane considers Karma at a much larger scale. Some of our actions are immediate in reciprocation. Many worldly actions are dealt in this world alone and we taste the results in our present life only. But spiritually good/bad Karma gets counted even after this life. If one helps a poor by giving him food/water/shelter, he would not get any help from that poor now as a reaction. His spiritually good action would for the time being give him satisfaction of self, but in later life he would be rewarded in a fashion so as to be more focused on attaining Moksha. A murderous dictator may die as a king but he would be penalized either in this life or the next. Here is why some persons are born handicapped, mentally challenged or utterly poor. They were destined to be born like this only, can anyone offer any other explanation?

But still what is the fault of a child if he dies of hunger, what is the fault of an innocent girl if she gets raped? Here is the answer. We have to consider the society frame now. We allowed corruption, loss of values, loss of order and did not raise a voice. We followed the policy that prevention is better than cure and hence restricted girls from going outside instead of dealing with perverts. So who would pay for all this? Obviously society and since that girl is a part of society, she had to bear the consequences. If society follows order, no one would die of hunger and no one would get persecuted. Short span of life of the child may be a result of many of his past actions or the present actions of society.

Gist is the same, sow good to reap good and do this at all levels. We have seen societies where no one died of hunger or no one got raped, it’s a matter of choice what kind of society we build in.

Newton’s third law of motion is the extension of Doctrine of Karma at material plane and since the third law is scientifically verified, why should a rational mind defy its application at all levels? The most interesting theory is yet to come and that is the theory of reincarnation which is a direct corollary of the Doctrine of Karma. This theory is unique to Hinduism alone and no other religion believes in terms like past life or the life after death. Not only in India, but even in the world, there have occurred innumerable instances where a person manages to remember his/her past life. I remember seeing one such case in a TV serial which even scientists failed to explain. So these continual occurrences all around the world further add to the credibility of this theory

Best Poem for 4th yearites by a 4th yearite

This Saturday, we had KU farewell party where one of our friends from Electrical, Neeraj Tripathi came out with an exceptionally sentimental poem mentioning the lives of BHU dwellers. I hope you all would like it too


Raah dekhi thi is din ki kabse
aage ke sapne saja rakhe thhey naajane kab se
bade utavle the yahaan se jaane ko
zindagi ka agla padaav paane ko


par naa jane kyon ..dil mein aaj kuch aur aata hai
waqt ko rokne ka jee chahta hai


jin baton ko lekar rote the
aaj un par hansi aati hai
na jaane kyon aaj un palon ki yaad bahut aati hai


kaha karte the ..badi mushkil se char saal seh gaya
par aaj kyon lagta hai ki kuch peeche reh gaya


na bhoolne wali kuch yaadein reh gayi
wapas na kar paane wali baatein reh gayi,


meri taang ab kaun kheencha karega
sirf mera sir khane kaun mera peecha karega


jahaan 2000 ka hisaab nahin wahaan 2 rupay ke liye kaun ladega
kaun raat bhar saath jag kar padhega


KAUN MERI gaadi mujse pooche bina lejayega
kaun mere naye naye naam banayega
kaun sem ke ek raat pehle padhayega,
kaun girlfriend ka naam le leke chidhyega...



kaun kam number aane pe dilasa dilayega
kaun galti se number aane par gaaliyaan sunayega


VT par cold coffee kis ke saath piyoonga
wo haseen pal ab kis ke saath jiyoonga

mere class mein rehte hue meri proxy kaun lagayega....
cold drink ki shart pe ladkiyon ke tyre ki hawa kaun nikalwayega...
number aane par maar kaun lagayega....
girl friend ke samne neecha kaun dikhayega...


party party karke jaan kaun khayega...
aur cafe lejakar khali purse kaun dikhayega....

lan par games kiske saath khelunga....
aur jisne maara usko pakad kar kaise pelunga...

ghar waalon ko fanti ke baare mein kaun batayega...
aur apne saamne dant padwakar kaun daant dikhayega....


ji bhaiya kehkar meri baat kaun maanega....
itne respect se aur kaun pehchanega....

kisko mein apni aisi pakau poems sunaunga....
basti jakar un bachhon ko kaise padhaunga,...
aur gussa hue vishwakarma ko kaise manaunga...
pata nahi kisse itna pyaar paaunga...

aise dost kahaan milenge
jo khai mein bhi dhakka de aayein
par fir tumhein bachane khud bhi kood jayein


mere gaano se pareshaan kaun hoga
kabhi muje class mein sote dekh hairaan kaun hoga


kaun kahega saale tere joke pe hansi nahin aai
kaun peeche se bula ke kahega..aage dekh bhai


movies mein kiske saath dekhhonga
kis ke saath boring lectures jheloonga


mere farzee certificates ko raddi kehne ki himmat kaun karega
bina dare sachi rai dene ki himmat kaun karega


achanak bin matlab ke kisi ko bhi dekh kar paglon ki tarah hansna
na jaane ye fir kab hoga
keh do doston ye dobaara sab hoga


doston ke liye professor se kab lad payenge
kya hum ye sab fir kar payenge


raat ko 2 baje kuch khane lanka kaun jayega
tez gaadi chalane ki shart kaun lagayega


kaun muje mere kabiliyat par bharosa dilayega
aur jyada hawa mein udne par zameen pe layega


meri khushi mein sach mein khush kaun hoga
mere gam mein muj se jyada dukhi kaun hoga......

Good News?



Yesterday I received a mail from Mr. Madison from Wu Travels saying that they are interested to put up advertisements at my blog (and obviously pay me for that). At first it appeared to me as an attempt to hack my ID through some foul play. I enquired about the firm and mailed them regarding my curiosity. So far the tone of mails has been professional and appears to be genuine.

Not actually I am delighted to get any such offer but the thing that thrilled me is that they found me suitable for this; God knows what parameters I fulfilled that I got selected for this

So if any of you has any sort of experience in this field, kindly let me know

Media: Blind or Hypocrite?

These days whenever I talk to any of my friends over the situation in India, I always get the same repetitive replies. When I talk to them of communalism, they know only one name, that of Modi as if he is the first person who failed to give security to its fellow citizens. When I talk of suppression of the right to express, everyone has the same much propagated news of protests by VHP, Bajrang Dal etc as if no other religious group has acted in an extremist fashion

Considering this is a nation where people imitate west and bollywood blindly, no wonders if they got victim to the partial truth exposed by the media. Being a youth and a person living with youths, I can say that the younger generation is least concerned to investigate the truth. They swallow whatsoever is offered to them and not to mention the fact that that many of the youths read newspapers just to crack some competitive exam. Hence in any of the debate, they vomit what they have swallowed.

In this post, I would try to come up with facts that were not covered by media at all ; the media was either blind or hypocrite over those issues

1. Whenever I have read the term ‘Vandalize’ in the newspaper Hindu, it has always been used to describe some nuisance by Hindu religious extremists like protests by VHP over M F Hussain etc. Surprisingly media has never talked of protests against Taslima Nasreen and Salman Rushdie to this extent. But today I would reveal a case where Police vandalized an art exhibition just because it was showcasing what kind of ruler Aurangzeb was. After reading all this things, the questions that come to mind are-what kind of people could have problem in truths about Aurangzeb being showcased, what kind of governments do we have that can go to any extent to appease minorities? Are we living in Pakistan? Media was too eager to blame VHP that even during Amarnath issue furor, no channel mentioned the growing extremism and reducing hindu rights

2. Media is often seen protesting against Hindu religious extremists alleging them for having zero spirit of tolerance and condoning violence. Here I would bring to light an incident in Kolkata where the editor of the newspaper Statesman simply translated a text and published it. Soon there was a furore accompanied with subsequent violence. The question is – why wasn’t this issue raised with equal weightage and no debate done like they do every other day over Hindu religious issues?

3. Whenever it comes to riot, my friends have been brain washed to believe that Gujarat, Orissa and Karnataka are the only states where riots have occurred. I would let you all know of a riot which happened in my own hometown Mau. Several Temple Idols were vandalized and shown disrespect, many died with the possible involvement of Don Mukhtar Ansari . At the time when Barkha was busy covering the Gujarat riots, atrocity upon Hindus occurred once again in Kerala, but our secular media was least interested. Very unfortunately, riots/clashes happened in Rabodi, Jintur or Nanded didn’t get any place in media at all. Root causes were never brought to knowledge of a common man. What kind of secularism is this? This is not at all an extremism and vote bank politics for media. Wasn’t this a riot ?

4. When a dilapidated mosque was demolished in India, what followed is history but surprisingly when the 300 year old and still active rehman mosque was demolished in Pakistan, media remained silent. Taliban demolished that mosque since music was practiced there and as per them music is forbidden in their religion. We all have seen how our fellow brothers protest over US attacks in Afghanistan, Iraq but once again there was no hue and cry by them over this demolition? Why this silence? (Issue raised in Dainik Jagran’s editorial, printed edition)

5. When Sethu Samudram issue got raised, impotent central government filed an affidavit saying that Lord Rama has no proof of existence and hence the project must carry on. Can this very same central government ever file an affidavit saying that since Jesus has no proof, let us demolish churches. Similarly NDTV even went to an extent to say that Ramayana is a myth and hence in modern times, Lord Rama should be depicted with modern accessories. Can this channel say the same thing about prophets in other religions? Definitely no, we all have seen the furor over Denmark issue. Then why these double standards by our Indian media?

6. When media discussed Varun’s statement issue with so enthusiasm, then how come they neglect this issue. Surprisingly, no reporter ever tried to find out if the people in Pilibhit are really being persecuted? (Click here for more)

7. Why media never discusses the anomalies in NCERT books?

8. Why this partiality ? simply because of vote bank politics, is it too difficult for media to decipher


These were the issues showing the hypocrisy of Media, Let us have a look at facts showing how much is our media blind

1. Media failed to capture the Bangladeshi infiltration to an appropriate extent. No alarming bells were raised; perhaps it wasn’t sensational news for them?

2. Not only national but international media is blind to the atrocities towards Kashmiri Pundits. Click here for more. No slots for growing extremism in the valley

3. Why at all media has never focused on the local supports used by terrorists while planning any terror attack. It is an open secret that no bomb can ever be planted successfully unless there is a local support. Are they not terrorists too?

4. Media has never tried to bring the real face of missionaries to the general public. Missionaries are involved in mass conversions is a widely acknowledged fact, then why is common man debarred to know all this?

5. Religious terrorism has devastated entire North- east (click here) but our media never cared to bring this issue to the notice of a common man. Kandhmal violence was discussed but no one even talked about these issues.

6. Is only one community responsible for riots in India? Definitely not, then why is this difficult for media to figure out that our filmmakers are more interested in getting Oscars than showing both sides of the coin

7. BJP is communal, but when other parties ask for minority votes, aren’t they communal ? What kind of definition do our media follow? Why Congress was not penalized for unable to hang Afzal . Click here for more. Congress and similar other parties are still not communal for them

8. Are Christian missionaries really being persecuted in India? Why only one face of coin is showed to the common masses?

9. Is this not growing extremism ? Just like they found Ram sene as a sign of growing extremism.


I don’t support any extremist group but yes, I expect my fellow citizens to have open eyes, they should hate violence in any form. Cover all news, why to leave the half and present the rest half news? I am not here to support any damn Indian party or religious group, but media should never focus and siege only one community, they should only reveal the facts and let the public decide the root causes

Now let us have a look at who controls our media.

1. Times of India is run by Bennet and Coleman

2. NDTV: Indian CEO Prannoy Roy is co-brother of Prakash Karat, General Secretary of the Communist party of India . His wife and Brinda Karat are sisters. Recently it has developed a soft corner towards Pakistan because Pakistan President has allowed only this channel to be aired in Pakistan

3. Star TV: Run by an Australian Robert Mudroch

4. The Hindu: English daily, started over 125 years has been recently taken over by Joshua Society, Berne, Switzerland . Chairman N. Ram's wife is a Swiss national.



P. S. - To further support the facts mentioned in points 1 and 5, I have the videos with me. All those who are interested to see them can mail me.

So That There Is No Guilt Feeling

“Khana nahi kahaya babuji, paisa de do”, “Bhookh lag rahi hai babuji, subah se nahi khaya”. These are the recent chants which bang my ears everytime I come out of any mall/multiplex. Thanks to Bangladeshi infiltration, the problem of Beggary has aggravated only in these recent years. Earlier the usual hub of these beggars used to be religious places of worship. Compelling urges also have seen dramatic changes and serious mind boggling sessions must have been done by these beggars. Earlier they used to just sit by the roadside with their “katora” and look hauntingly at all the visitors. Then realizing that almost everyone abuses them of their healthy physique, they started the trend of asking a share in the “prasad” being carried by the devotees. It was a type of emotional atyachar since Prasad is ideally meant for sharing and hence everyone had no other option but to give them a share. But as mall culture has grown, the recent touching attack adopted by beggars is related to hunger and death.

Even this senti might be trivial for quite a few; I am always deeply moved and quite certain that this sight haunts others as well. Last time when I was at outskirts of a mall after having delicious pizzas at Pizza Hut that cost us around Rs. 600, a young girl came to us and started her usual ringtone. Since she was hungry, my brother offered to give her some food but denied giving her alms. The issue that disturbed me then was that we are spending hundreds of rupee just to satisfy our tongue’s whim and could not spend a single penny to fill the stomachs of hungry people across world. What kind of society we are living in nowadays?

Here I won’t ask my friends to eradicate poverty, but something really needs to be done. Every time we see such sight, the question that arises is that when would we give something back to our own society? Being youths, finding solution of these problems is much easier. Once a person gets married, he is generally occupied with long term plans of future requiring huge investments, so he generally gives the excuse to himself- “I am already feeding a family of five, hence God would forgive me”.

To avoid this guilt feeling, to come across these overwhelming sentiments, I propose all dear youth readers to at least get involved in some good social activity. This would give us a backing and hence help us overcome from such arousing assaults. Being pragmatic is most necessary as it gives the maximum satisfaction. Here I have tried coming up with few ideas:

1. In case you are a student, there certainly must be any student body working in this direction such as educating poor children.

2. Even if there is a huge shortage of time, we can cut our expenditure in branded clothes and junk food and donate at least some amount of money to any such honest organization

3. Minimum effort we all can do is to educate at least one child. It sounds hypothetical but is as easy as a cakewalk. Personally I can say whenever I have tried to chat with any of mess worker/ child labor, they were always enthusiastic to study

4. Giving a healthy childhood to everyone is very necessary. I would let you know how. Consider 2 children, one properly brought up in a good environment and the other who lived a typical slum life, now at a later stage both are jobless due to illiteracy. Who do you think would resort more easily to social crimes to earn money? Considering this, our effort should be to give all slum children a life which is full of values and opportunities. Let us start a trend of interacting with young children. Let us talk with them, let us give them a worthy glimpse of this world. We can let them know of this country’s glorious past and make them aware of social challenges. At least we can play with them and help in demolition of these social barriers.

We hate Extremism in RSS, VHP and Modi


Enough of the recriminations following every blast and riot, enough of this malaise feel and hence generated paranoia. Multicultural composition of India is threatening its image like never before. Every other day we come across heinous crimes like this or see some of the criminals getting acquitted like this

Every community has its own interpretation of the riotsand like this too This one fact shows the hypocrisy of our media
We came across some moderate leaders as well but their efforts getting fructified are yet to be seen but we welcome them. But the most hated campaigns have been that of RSS, VHP and bajrang Dal. The way they supported the riots in Kandhmal, Gujarat is a matter of shame

In all these voices, a more general voice is still unheard. Voice of a Hindu who is proud of its cultural rich heritage, who is well aware of the vote bank politics where Mayawati opposes Nuclear Deal just because it is against Muslims and he finds it difficult to figure out how is it so? He gets impatient when he hears Ram Vilas Paswan saying that all Bangladeshi should be given Indian citizenship since they comprise his vote bank. He gets even more enraged to see unprecedented amount of media concerns over Gujarat riot but no concerns at all for the Kashmiri Pandits. Unfortunately having no voice in media and politics this section has to unwillingly look for RSS, VHP to raise Hindu concerns

But how is this lobby different from these extremist sections. Talking of similarities:

1. We both hate proselytizing poor and backward sections of Hindu society by Christian missionaries and thereby get them converted. Gandhiji wrote: "If I had the power and could legislate, I should stop all proselytizing. It is the deadliest poison that ever sapped the fountain of truth." . Swami Vivekananda during his historic visit to the U.S., a hundred years earlier, wrote: "Part of the Sunday School education for children here consists in teaching them to hate everybody who is not a Christian, and the Hindus especially, so that, from their very childhood they may subscribe their pennies to the missions” . We both agree that conversions should not happen surreptitiously and Christian missionaries should be brought to book as well for this crime. ( All those who don’t know about the missionaries need to read ‘Missionaries in India’ by Arun shourie). If here Karan Thapar believes that he is above Swami vivekanand to say this then we feel ashamed only

2. We both are fed up with vote bank politics. We equally hate Bangladeshi infiltration. We believe that if India was one of the first countries to ban Satanic Verses, then it should ban M F Hussain as well. Any other act raises suspicion.

3. We both hate tolerance towards terrorism. At some point we both believe that some religions need to re consider their fundamental beliefs and nation should always come first and not religion. We both hate the absence of Uniform Civil code where only few communities are expected to go for family planning, society can never uplift if some sections are still orthodox and running on rigid principles created centuries before. Let us all behave equally if we really wish to be called equal. If we are ready to abide by a uniform civil code then others should as well. (Noticeable thing is that rigidity is there in all religions but the degrees differ)


But still there is a drastic difference:
1. We sincerely hate the brutal acts of killing. No matter whatsoever be the issue and plot, killing of every Indian is crime. If they burn trains and force conversion, then we need not resort to violence in any case. VHP, RSS and BJP have sound base, they can raise their voice through various channels. Let the judiciary act and if it fails, nation would itself decide who is more secular in the next elections. This is a democracy and we need to believe in it. If we will also follow the policy of spreading terror, then we are no better than terrorists.

2. Ephemeral, absurd strategies like moral policing sound more like a publicity stunt. A culture which has sustained 5000 years of heritage and came out successfully from 1000 years of so called slavery need not be worried by onslaughts of west. We need to spread our culture just like swami Ramdev brought down the net sales of soft drinks by virtue of Yoga power. Something which is good would always come out victorious in the end

3. Most important of all, why not to renovate ourselves and spend our energy there. Why not to give love to the oppressed ones and give them entry to Jagannath temple where still Dalits are not allowed to enter. Why not to give more rights and freedom to our women and hence grow with virtues. May be some religions are very rigid, but if we are renovating our own self with our rich cultural heritage, may be we can see incidents like this happening in bulk in near future.

4. VHP protest over the illegal occupation of land of Amarnath shrine board was one of those acts which forces us to believe that Hindu right s are being seized. I don’t think that the present unconcerned Hindu population would have come out of their homes to protest. But once again aggression and burning public property isn’t the way in democracy. Though other parties are no better in this regard, but that doesn’t mean that nuisance should be tolerated. What is wrong is wrong

A common trend has grown these days where you talk of your religion and speak truth even, you are looked upon as communal. This is just a media hype and vote bank politics. We Hindus believe in living with peace, living equally and fighting with unjust onslaughts. But if Narendra Modi comes up with carnage, we are never going to support it but at the same time expect from media to investigate into godhra carnage with equal vigor.

We hate extremism to the maximum possible extent but at the same time we wish to preserve our values as well just like any other community

True Legends on this 26th January

Our heroes and freedom fighters have repeatedly set examples of the right attitude towards caste. I give here one particularly moving instance of this. When the most celebrated martyr of them all- Sardar Bhagat Singh – was to be hanged he asked to touch his mother’s feet before he was killed. The British government, it may be recalled, was hanging him a day earlier than scheduled and so did not permit this. Bhagat Singh then said that he would like to go to the gallows after touching the feet of the lady who cleaned the prison toilets for she was like a mother to him. His mother used to clean him up when he was a child because she considered him her own. But the cleaning lady was no worldly relation of Bhagat Singh but yet cleaned his toilet and hence was as venerable as his mother. He was allowed this wish of his. Such is the example that the torch bearers of our freedom struggle have left for us and if we ignore it, We do so at our own peril.

THEORY OF PROFESSIONALISM



Disclaimer

Theory of Professionalism puts forth the culture in corporate life avoiding excoriations, blame game or demonizing pertinent modus operandi employed. Neither it is an attempt to outrage the sanctity of whatsoever measures one employs to taste success and nor it is an effort to testify someone’s innocence. Theory of Professionalism is a lurking approach for those only who didn’t know the art of management (they might have learned it afterwards), and prodigies with in-built talent won’t find it a real revelation at all, unfathomable. It has not been written under a paranoiac state of mind. Views discussed here have been echoed many a times by most of my acquaintances. None has ever denied its existence. But once again it depends on the discretion of an individual, how much truthful he wishes to be in his emotions. The solutions intend to salvage naïve novices who waste their professional associations just because of their background which taught them of a Utopia; got sentimental, demoralized and jeopardize their valuable limited years of career making while the outside world was always ruthless enough not to get apprehensive of pure emotions.





Theory of Professionalism endeavors to behold the life of a professional and expose the existent code of practice in a professional life. It quests for it’s chasms with personal life. Personal life implies day-to-day homely life of an individual where true feelings are nurtured at any cost. When a simple person leaves his family (but not his values) and enters a life where associations are defined as per hierarchy of occupation, he confoundedly witnesses an anomie. Ideally there shouldn’t be any such cognizance. (since humans are involved in either of the cases and humanity demands some core human values to be present in everyone every time).


How actually an individual lives and behaves in his family; conducts with all those who are not directly competing with him? In personal relations, most of us follow (at least) some ideals. Most of us hate lies, over-acting, over-smartness, bad habits (drinking, smoking blah blah) and reprimand our own sibling if found guilty. Driven by self respect, we don’t mind entering into a neutral relation if natures don’t match and usually don’t patch up unless an official regret is made; prefer those relatives who believe in living with love and peace and detest arrogant ones even if they are extravagantly rich; Never support any wrong idea of our uncle just because he earns/spends a lot. Appreciate all friends having a strong character and will power and strive getting their emotional support. Any wrong cause is opposed primarily on ethical grounds. (Even these attributes may sound antediluvian; such is the order of encroachment)


Surprisingly, upon entering the professional world, either one finds it difficult to adapt or changes his very root beliefs. Perfectly contrasting things happen in a professional life

1. In personal relations, everyone who opposes us over a right cause earns our wrath. Exactly divergent is the observation in a professional life. Here openly disagreeing antagonist is the most reliable one. At least, he had the guts to protest against what he thought was wrong. Others generally remain under cover; never completely disagree with you in public so that business with you is not hampered. Run as soon as they can to a leader; cajole him to wage the war. Or if voting is being done, they would never let you know which side they are going to take. So quite astonishingly, the most truthful/reliable person in a professional life is the one who openly contests and differs.

2. Ephemeral, opportunistic allegiances are the most visible characteristic of a professional life. The same two persons who were unknowns to each other just a few days before may become the most talked about duo within no time once they find each other mutually beneficial. Many a times you are surprised to think-“What happened to that old friend of his? Have they both underwent any break up” Very soon you find out that no official break up has occurred, it is just that both of the old friends have find new associates and are perfectly OK in their new lives, neither they do miss each other the way they used to just a few days/weeks/months before.

3. Your real friends would consider your powerful enemy as their own enemy while your professional friends would consider your disputes as your personal affair and would never sacrifice their professional interests. Even if it is a war of ethics and truth, the approach would be-“When he (the powerful) is still good to me, why should I put an end to my relations with him, I support you my friend but I see no point in fighting”.

4. Self Respect may be an extinct attribute. People forget or tend to forget past insults/ignorance claiming open mindedness or may be they don’t have any self respect at all, decadents who don’t feel things.

5. No desire is left to befriend a person with good habits/strong character. Interestingly the name given is Freedom of Choice or No Interference in Personal Life Policy. “You smoke then it is your personal choice and my hatred for smoking would not come in between our relation” – that is a general approach to hide lack of concern for others and bag prodigal brats.

6. Behemoths don’t have to hunt for allies or support. Once you are influential, all middle class friends will hobnob around you. They will laugh voraciously at your PJs and would never react at your outbursts. The theory given is –“I don’t take these things seriously, you are my friend after all”. To make an influential colleague realize that I am the coolest friend to hang out with (therefore please select me as your friend), spicy jokes are nicely innovated, magnificently calibrated and recited to them in a presentable format

7. Highly skilled professionals don’t wail at lack of compatriots either. If you are an old hand in common field of interest, aspirants would themselves come running to you. Like, if you are a top ranker, your room would always be occupied the night before examinations (Mostly by guys making tall claims-“I study just the night before”). These cluster bees might have entered into some sort of tussle with you once, they might have abhorred your attitude. But every time these issues were overlooked saying-“These things are common in a relation, I have forgotten all those disputes”. It is not more than a future investment.

8. Poor (not necessarily by wealth) and devoid has to look for support even while raising a sensible question. If unfortunately that question is against some rich powerful lobby, people won’t even care calling lie a lie. As long as their interests are firm and unscathed, they would follow the policy-“Why to put my ass into?”

9. Stagnant and devoid- the most horrible combination to have in a professional life. May be you would have to die to see some friends around you then. As long as there is ready to sell middle class, ready to spend rich won’t die alone in seclusion, no matter whatsoever is their nature/character/habit. Poor would have to strive. For him, a simple fight may even lead to life term loss of a friend and there is little probability of him coming back as there is nothing to attract him (forget about realizations and accepting one’s fault in a relation).

10. A widely spread tendency is to show off. Just to prove superiority, many show that I listen only to English songs, show that I am pretty rich. These exertions attain perfect resonance in a group. Many groups strive continuously to let others realize of their coolness. Everything is normal beside your room and just before 12 o’ clock; you come to realize that some group is celebrating someone’s birthday with great zeal and hard rock. To get nice photos to be shared on internet and thereby prove that our group enjoys a lot, all sort of poses and tricks are tried. All these activities are not a natural effort in most of the cases; there are many happening groups in existence though. But when they would drink and celebrate, others might not even be able to track what’s happening. They also put cakes at others’ faces, but don’t care for a camera to be there.

11. The most prominent character in a professional life is an open minded wag. He would have jokes to crack every other moment, would forget and forgive easily and would have a healthy vibrant relation with everyone. But very soon everyone realizes that that effervescent relation was just to embezzle every entity possible and the jokes were never meant to be recited in front of powerless batch mates

12. In a highly developed environment, by and large all acts of altruism are a future investment and done mostly to impress/oblige the powerful ones.

13. Professional life is all about fulfilling ambitions at any cost. Direct confrontations are avoided but proxy war through covert slandering is a usual practice. People don’t mind making fun of personal lifestyle once the person concerned is a real threat to their position. The same personal choice in the life of some influential friend may not draw any attention at all in case he is truly valuable.

14. Mandates become so stereotyped that even if cause is infallible, you would find people making their stances based totally on their future benefits and current politics. Very few listen to a call from heart and step ahead to encourage others. Soon you are expert enough to make out who would support you and who won’t, no matter whatsoever is the issue

15. That’s too rude but unfortunately it happens. Some look for bad omens in others’ life. People keep falling ill and small accidents keep happening and this is the time when wicked politicians leave no stone unturned to revive a dead relation.

16. People forget and they do that willingly. If expunging is removing obstacles, spurting accessibility, then it is a worth to possess characteristic. Friends forget infidelity and collaborations. Truly speaking, no one wishes to have a conquering professional career; everyone aspires to have a smooth flow for which one has to learn the art of forgetting.


These are general characteristics. Exceptions do exist. In fact the venom of professional life is a function of ambiance and composition

Gems are always there who openly reject to serve others on cost of self respect. They are perfectly OK even if others find them boring or a person with nothing to loot. They are focused enough on their career goal. If you are a person of ethics then you are bound to face controversies and altercations. What really helps in bad times is the faith upon yourself and God, faith that whatsoever you are doing is correct and your previous history of being ethically strong. The best thing about professional life is that no one is your enemy; you can bag any person once you sound efficacious and commercially beneficial to him. The worst thing about professional life is that no one is your friend, anyone can leave you once you become static and stagnant.
But for all those who wish to live a happening professional life at any cost, I have tried coming up with certain solutions:


1. Keep burgeoning. Stagnancy might be the death blow to your professional life. Keep networking; keep learning the new methods of survival in your field of expertise. Once you owe a quality which others don’t have, you can be two steps ahead of them. Stay away from pessimism and look for optimistic friends

2. At the very start of professional life, choosing partners purely on the basis of their assets is a worth to take risk. If at start, one gets involved in some ethical reservations like-“I would not abort his friendship, so what if he is poor and cannot celebrate (and thereby spend) every other day”, then you would repent over it for your entire span. In fact, looking for best possible combination is the safest bet. You would never be looked upon with suspicion at interior levels, since the powerful ones require coordinators and admirers and you can easily occupy that place. If you are looked with suspicion at exterior levels by your own old friends(saying-“achha beta, ab woh jyaada achha lagne laga, humein bhool gaye”), then first of all, you need not care of it as you have your new friends firmly in place. Life is big and perhaps at some time in future, your miserable old friends would themselves come to you to have a share of your happening life and increased powers. People forget and intermediate regular acts of philanthropy would give you the safest position in your professional life. Later be altruistic and people will forget that you were originally materialistic.

3. Avoid being a leader in profession. Never dare to come out in public to serve your ambitions. Look for a cover and better incite others rather than doing everything by your own self. Power is dynamic, multifaceted; it keeps on changing its owner and dimensions. If you tried to be a leader in past, the new leaders will deliberately disregard you. While if you fought under cover, the new leaders would assimilate you in their group to embarrass your previous leader. In this way, despite of the fact that you were more desperate and involved equally in politics, you would be the person most benefited.

4. There is another comfort in this evasiveness. Your avoidance of leadership but having same ambitions and good blueprints would promote you as a comrade. Now in order to find out what’s happening in your group, spies of other groups would fraternize making regular visits to you. Your market value would overshoot. Enemy groups do this to extricate whatsoever tactics they can and annoy your leader as well. While despite of the fact that all strategies were made by you only, you would enjoy a high worth.

5. The best way to lead a successful professional life is to keep all groups employed in guessing which side you belong to, thereby having a share in every plate

6. As Kiran Bedi has herself admitted that most of the professional deals are made offline at page 3 parties and over cocktails. To be at the top, one perhaps need to have a strong presence at all such mighty events.

7. Avoid being ideological/rational/original in your views or doing anything which depicts your uniqueness in public, better be modest. People are in the habit of mocking any damn thing they find dissimilar from themselves and jibing all those who are more original/rational by any stretch of imagination, forgetting spirit of tolerance, respect of individuality and love for one’s own culture. Listening to them would only end up in the loss of your distinctiveness and novelty

8. Being a person of self respect, many a times it is difficult to talk to a person who previously tried to be smart or insulted us. This nature is of no use in professional life. One has to learn how to forget everything even if the person being accused hasn’t regretted. Keep smiling, throwing jokes and asking others how they are doing. Flattering is a panacea which sedates even enemies. Regular small dialogues keep a neutral/dead relation alive and might be deployed in future. Keep all options open, you never know who might be your next partner

9. Never publicly express your ill-feelings towards (or underestimate) others. It’s natural to dislike/underestimate others but never let them know. Elections keep happening, may be the same person casts his vote in your favor in future, you never know what turn fate would take.

10. There is no point in following some age old animosity. Always be ready to patch up.

11. If the person in question is really influential, then there is no harm fighting for his ambitions in public. This act of yours would make you loyal before him and perhaps turn out to be the safest investment

12. Unless you are a leader, your personal life would never be dragged for smearing. So just follow the policy of remaining under cover and conversing with everyone, people won’t find time to see into your personal selections.

13. Everyone has soft feelings for his indigenous culture. Formation of clandestine groups based on common origin/alma mater helps getting reliable cohorts. For example, Bihari sentiments are continually employed by aspiring leaders.

14. Most important of all, never ever fail to recognize your true strengths. It could be your family or any of your interest. Never let it go from your hands. Only your family would readily accept you even after all your misdeeds and make you feel like a human being with true emotions. Sacrificing one’s penchant choices and interests in professional would only make life more horrible

With this I come to an end. My only desire is that this theory helps innocent minds in the squall of opportunistic society and ultimately embellishes them to walk pace to pace with the capricious life ahead

(Minor nuance with Chanakya Neeti, as claimed by my close friend, is purely co-incidental)

Are We Emotionally Numb?

How would a moderate Muslim feel upon being distrustfully referred as a terrorist? This happened and they came out in media to protest against it. How would a Hindu feel upon wary accusations of buoying post Godhra riots? This happened and once again we saw many similar acts. We all hate generalizations. But how would a community feel if someone actually alleges them of being duffer, utterly imprudent? Wouldn’t they glare indignantly and contort the person’s visage?


But unfortunately we so called iconoclastic youths have been perennially mocking a community whose rich cultural heritage most of our bollywood movies boast of. We have jibed a community which is known for its verve, valor and vigor. So much is this community pumped with self respect that they would love to die rather than begging. Not even a single national team is deprived of members from this community, be it cricket, hockey and yeah the most important of all- our Indian Army. Most horrible part is that this community got its popular nickname “Sardar” purely because its courageous devout leaders reprieved Hindu women from Muslim vanquishers in medieval history and even then, even then we ungrateful Hindus make fun of our sardar colleagues. But this peace loving community never got publicly riled; never threw any bomb to stop this persecution. It’s high time when we really need to be deeply discerned about removing this silly practice of deriding the “Sikh” community which has taken our entire society under its siege.


Since childhood, I see everyone cracking jokes on sardars. I wasn’t an exception, but was always inquisitive to know the precise reason why we do so. Someone told me that the story goes back to 1984 when a Sikh bodyguard killed Indira Gandhi, our beloved prime minister. That was the most stupid reply one can think of. What about Tamils then, we should make fun of them as well as they were involved in killing of Rajiv Gandhi. I consulted my friends; none was so deeply hurt by the murder of our prime minister to an extent to impose the mistake of an individual upon an entire community. And if we laugh at some of their customs, we have no right of inheriting the Indian culture which assimilates nearly all religions. It’s just an unwitting trend which one gets accustomed to in an Indian society and the regrettable part is that we never gave concern to its repercussions. Our so called enlightened modern youths eschewed to go in the details just like they never thought of Indian culture, they didn’t even consider its ramification just like they overlooked root problems of India. Talking of its insidious impact on Indian society, this practice reveals how much emotionally numb we are. Ruefully, it has alienated us from this community and defeated the concept of united society. Incessant onslaughts have infuriated the youths of this community and somehow aggravated the issue of Khalistaan. I am pretty sure that only few of us might be knowing that Hinduism and Sikhism are so deeply intertwined that even the secular Indian Constitution has considered both the religions identical at many substantial issues though it could have given a special status to Sikhism just like it gave to Islam.


We both go for Vaishno Devi, we both celebrate Diwali. But thanks to our malign maliciousness and vote bank politics, I have never heard even a single politician/religious leader regarding treatment of Sikhism as a branch of its mother Hinduism. I firmly believe that Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism are branches of Hinduism and this fact can be verified by any pious devout intellectual. Efforts of Buddha, Guru Nanak and Mahaveer were more to remove the orthodox practices in Hinduism. Was there really any concept of separate religions at that time? All these religions basically talk of a way of living.


Anyways, enough is enough. There should be an end to our ruthlessness and callousness. If we would still make fun of sardars then we definitely have no right to allege politicians, we are no better than them. Let’s talk of a united society only then can we talk of a united India. Let’s do something which shows that we are educated. To start the process, I have deleted all jokes in my inbox which talk of sardars.


Lets work in the direction of becoming a part of the solutions
