Summary of Mumbai attacks.

Terrorists didn't have extreme training, just that we were anarmed and our politicians are stupid and old, else any terrorist stands no chance against wrath of an average Indian.

Mumbai under attack


It was a very sad event and even sadder is the way it was treated.I have been thinking on some points these two days and I thought to share the same with you as follows.

Since when we need bamboos to remove curtains off the windows ? Couldn't they be burnt with flares ?

Since when we need the commandos to simply wait and watch on the rooftop while the oepration needs the quick action to aid element of surprise?

How come we celebrate the so called victory over the terrorists when lives of about 200 people were lost and about 40 times more man power was required to overcome the threat ?

Where was the hostage situation at Taj and the Trident which forced the forces to act slow? most of the causualities occured during first few hours of the attack while we were planning and getting armed forces to the site.

Does it take a lot of training for killing helpless people with sophisticated weaposn which can fire at the rate of 10 shots a seconds ? May be we are putting much hype to training to hide our failure in counteracting and removing the menace.

Could the terrorists feel as free in their action as they felt had there been even 10% people armed with concealed weapons of those whom they killed ? The cruel facts remains that they were succesfull not becasue of their training but becasue of our helplesness, we were shot at and killed as and when they pleased and some say that small things like this keep happeing in big cities like mubai.

Sound skeptical ? It is may be, I can't help but grieve the situation and feel angry at what happend and has been happening to our people since so many years. This needs to stop here and now.

Love, marriage <-> Subjective ,objective and civil prostitution.

A lady who is about to get married told me recently that her decision for marriage was a practical one as I knew the guy she was in love with and they had some good relating possibilities.

But this girl comes from a traditional north Indian background and marriage is a must despite all odds, now she is marrying someone whom she couldn't' stand for more than few minutes just because that person proposed first and she took the opportunity.

Isn't she subjecting herself to a social prostitution ? where the benefits are in form of future instead of immediate cash.

Screw tax money : Making parks instead of factories and shelters.


I paid hefty tax last year and it was painful to see that in UP the chief minister is rebuilding a park she built few years ago, with a vip room (wonder why park needs a VIP room?).

The overall project is estimated more than few crores and no need to say like everywhere else here also commission money is being made , the previous park was in very good condition, all the structures were in impeccable perfect state still the newly elected chief minister thought its not that good , after all new construction means new orders and a chain of what all is associated with it.Earnings Earnings :-).
So and already perfect park was demolished, new stones are being carved and new bullionaris are being made in name of fair system, people's democracy etc etc.
what is the amount of protection this park provides to a homeless in this winter, what is the value addition of this park in a system where there is not enough food for about 80% population, where such leaders are taking us who love to have their images in brass made.
Animal farm (written by Thomas hardy) pigs in full swing.

No wonder people need new breed of Azad and Bhagat singh now, the villians have changed the skin -its DESI.

Kidney King : what is the punishment ?

We have got him nabbed but what is going to be the punishment for someone who treated humans as gunea pigs, two years , three years at the most ??

I think only someone who has been robbed in most inhuman fashion like this would be the best judge of the punishment.Preventive judgement should mark the end for such practices considering the amount of money involved it calls for very strict action and nothing less then dbl life imprisonment with no provision of bail etc.

But then the law is blind, he will get off with all the free money he has earned by robbing hundrerd.

What should be the Age of a man for marriage ? 18 or 21.


If someone told you that one has right to choose the political leaders and members of parliament but not the right to marry a girl what would you think ?
The first word is Insane and that best describes what is indian social system now a days, Its hard to believe its the same country where concentual sex was not something rare,on the contrary there are many documented instances of the same.
Does the word Dushyant make any sense ?

Marriage is just a social system to provide fornication oppertunity for everyone in the society, let alone the purpose the youths are advised to 'releive' themselves insted of making friends with the opposite sex.

Now such a society will become more and more sexualy suppressed society and given a vent there is no saying what such a society can accomplish, for example, I was staying in hotel concorde Shah Alam while in Malaysia,There were some youth football teams also staying in the same hotel.
The most interesting was the arabic team from some part of UAE, the coach will not allow guys to talk to the girls at the hotel but he himself was always asking for prostitutes and how to get a women in his room.

Its huge debate whether everyone should have right to fornicate as and when the urgency arises or not, but I can say in my view all the stupid saying regarding devil acting in form of sex is man made, reproduction can't be doing of devil if life is from god.

It all points to one direction, emotional weakness and inability to face truth.

Don't ask me how, you must be knowing of instances when you felt for someone you shouldn't , what you do ? feel guilt ? try something new, go to the person and expose yourself. say -I had this feeling for you and describe it as if talking about someone else, the feeling will vanish then and there :-).

About the picture on top - its misplace there its a honeybee looking for some nectar in flower and making them reproduce ,No guilt there.

Trapped in India

Yesterday while searching for cars on the web, I realized all I can get in 2k pounds is trash in comparison to what I can get anywhere in Europe or for that matter in Malaysia or Singapore.
That sucks big time.
Duty etc on import is fine as long as government sees an upcoming industry, except favoring tatas who are word number 1 in selling outdated technology and copying things (the safari looks).
The famous tata truck where does the engine is copied from ? if that is the way government wants us to go then fine, but we want the right to get what we want if it can't be produced here and no efforts are being made in that direction.
one very easily have a good BMW in about 10000 pounds, but if he/she want to import it there its heavy duty on it as if importing a BMW is going to somehow affect a wonderful HM industry or Esteem.If that is the cause let alone allowing Merc and Bmw assembly units its anyways worthless paying dbl the price .

Death strikes

A street cat had kept three kitten at the back of my house,wonderful little creatures, I had never liked cats before but after watching them playing around I started loving them and developed very close fondness -Morning tea with kittnes and evenings with kitten and their frog hunt.




The picture on left was taken in may last week, this one was brown male, missing since first week of june.


Another one is waiting to die while I write this and can hear her some time as the wounds form dog bites take the tole on her little frail body, the skin on left thigh has been completely eaten away and three legs are broken, yet she managed to crawl back to our place and now she is on medication for pain and antiboitics.
And today only 3 little birdies fell from the nest and died, though I tried to put one back a while ago, when I wentt back to see if its alright after an hour all three were lying on gound dead, their eyes which never opened would stay closed for ever, but why ?
Somehow its not fair, But then that is the way it is, its not my rule its nature and it works like this - hand in hand with death, every day.

Malaysia : Truely asia or more ?









Am in malaysia and must say that though they attained independence much after india, they have done much much better in terms of systems, infrastructure and general life conditions.
The government is actively coming up with strategies for improving life and countries financial strength, and as a result they have MR sanding shoulder to shoulder with US$ with a conversion rate of 3.4, against 44 of india.
The government is further trying to find new ways to create employment also, the much boasted drive of tourism is one side of it, they did some major changes in Kuala lumpur administration setup to facilitate tourism and transit related to it that involved moving some of the major offices out of kuala lumpur.








They have made a wonderful orchid garden in middle of the city which has over 100 varieties of orchids, need not say it was a great experience, I remembered visiting orchid garden in gangtok as well won't comment on that experience.










There are plenty more pictures I took there and they can be requested for reference.

Finally about the landmark in malaysia :-) the twin towers, nicely lit now a days and plenty going around,lot of activity on the shopping complex in first floor and second floor, many spanish,american tourists are seen doing shopping from the local malls,Happy asia ?

Later ......

Working family : Optima

This one is about my previous team , it was more like a organism a pulsating live being :-), I know of someone who would outrightly deny it though and who was also part of it- Deepa I am talking about you here :-) .

The team consisted of Ashish,Deepa,Nimish,Rajeev, Vijay and me. Ashsish and Vijay were known to each other from their previous jobs also so they maintained their little personal connection apart from the Optima connection.
As to how I say it was a pulsating organism , I always felt that the team had everything an organism may need, it had Ashish as the scale to weigh right and wrong, It had Vjay as the will, it had Rajeev as joy, Deepa as crtical analysis, Nimish as mind what I was doing?I am not sure though may be keeping them together ?

I will remember my Optima days for many reasons but mostly becasue of the home coming feeling when I used to reach office, meeting everyone in the morning was a joy,




waching Nimish change to more friendly person from a supposedly dictator was nice experience (Nimish don't shoot me if you see me), Nimish would always be ready to help anyone in need only if they asked, his philosophy is don't overdo it.
In his easy moods Nimsh ccould be best guy around, and he had great skills for managing everyday things he could very easily manage things which involved money, time and people (aggarwal afterall :-p).
Nimish is good the way he is, he becomes bad when he tries to follow some philosophies and he becomes holier than thou stuff in the process becasue of the perfectionist in him.I will remember him for our small pseudo fights I enjoyed them a lot.


Deepa
always had her blend of truth, like her coffee, and she would pick up a needle from hay and make sure that the needle is seen by all - not picking but she has very good observation and great ability to comprehend, and she has her own versions of lifes issues and her own philosohies of happiness (never understood simply peaceful life concept), recently she asked me why pray if everything is predestined :-), now that is tricky question if its required to be answered by mind, simple if its to be answered with truth but then who will understand the truth side of it?
Watching Deepa laugh is nice experience she has very good eyes and I love discussing with oher on various things, and it generally ends on good note.
Deepa is among few people who have the understanding of life's mysteries naturally or quest of it, she can actually rasie the question which never arise in other's mind and that is first gaurantee that they will be answered also bacche, so keep praying.




Vijay is earth's desire to touch the sky if analogy is to be used, Tall dark handsome guy on way to god, with all goodies and wines and dines with him - ladies included, even seeking is to be enjoyed and this guy makes sure he enjoys every bit of it.
In office his idea of work was complete it before time and then play ,more play and phone and girls and play again, the proof? he is on phone while we went on our last team lunch and no asking some kanya was on the other end >:-) .




Rajeev the B as we called him was source of happiness and laughter most of the time, watching him fight with a piece of code and then taking help evertime to complete it was funny, though he would show as if he had done it lol.The baby of the team and laughter machine, I will let his fantacies alone for a while :-p.



Ashish
he is a and really good person to be around as long as he is not panicking :-p,he was acting as think tank most of the time and unnecessarily complimenting me for things I had no idea about.
Ashish its about you always - not about me :-).Ashish is always about to leave the job when he panicks, though haven't left yet after three attaks :-p.
He is quality company and never looses his mind after drinking,a great person to hang out with, his ideas on LP and VC are really intertaining.
Meditation is something you are born with dude, remove the dust and its there.

Moving from Gurgaon




Technically every space affects us in some way or another, some places have strong earth vibrations,some have air, some have fire and some have water but gurgaon has strong fire vibrations with air to it.



The place will become most active city of India and also the most expensive to live in, though there would be some water problem in the near future.


The place I am putting up provides east facing balcony and I never miss the beautiful rising sun (some exceptions are never talked about :-) ), as there is no high rising construction between my balcony and the horizon -the view is magnificent.The apartment is in sector 56.







My neighbour is a south indian old fella with taste for divine, though he never listens to any thing I have to say all he does is praising my thoughts and attitude but when it comes to following he hides his tail.



He thinks I am not pure as I drink beer and eat mutton at times.I wonder god must be the unholiest of all in his mind for having created tigers and other carnivorous animals who feed in unthinkable faishion :-).


The man is wonderful has tried yoga, meditation and raja yoga and his only goal is to be able to teach me one day, He tries hard to reclaim his innocense, and in his past time explains himself the dog theory.


He is the type of person (mind) who can lead the role of satsang narrator once he has had some experience which he is not willing to go for, here he is trying to pose for me while I was trying my cell cam.

Dengue fever : impotent government

My cousine brother was admitted in hopital owing to perssistant fever and low blood platelete count, it was diagnosed as Dengue, initially I thought that it was one of those cases but back in the hospital Blood bank I saw quueue of people donating blood for getting blood platelete extraceted from it when I went to donate blood myself for my cousine.
And official figures of government are no where near panic as they maintain 5-6 cases status, where as only in this particular hospital (Shekahar nursing home) there were more then 15 people who were suffering from the dreaded disease, the blood platelete count drops sudenly with liver malfunction, faver, nasal bleeding.
Till date no fumigation is carried out in the area by the government authorities and numbers of affected is kept low officially.I wonder where this kind of governence is taking our people when they don't bother to take care of public health which is minimum they could do, all they did is they made sure that preventive measures are taken in VIP areas where ministers are residing, civil servats have become the rulers - democracy is gone for a toss.
The hospital I referred is not one of the major hospital like district hospital this one is privately run hosptal exact figures would be close to full blown epidemic.
No wonder if in near future we see that W.H.O or some other agency declare India as dengue affected country its only matter of time now.
