Writing a book is not a cup of tea :


We always say that Destiny favors our reflection to few and other just wait in queue for the same ………….
                                                                                                                                   Truth is factious and Fake is confined so if you walk through laxman rao you will find him a local chai walla but by any given chance if you stopped and started having conversations with him then you will suddenly say  “hey stop fuck this guy is genius “  because fiftyone-year-old Laxman Rao runs his own publishing house, Bharatiya Sahitya Kala Prakashan, from Vishnu Digambar Marg, ITO, Delhi.Situated between the Punjabi Academy and Hindi Bhavan, Rao prepares and serves tea from his roadside tea stall under the open sky (This happens only in India)

                                                 In his first title, Nayi Duniya Ki Nayi Kahani, he wrote in 1979, he narrated the hardships that he faced and the massive will he mustered to elevate, and then sustain himself as a writer. His play, Pradhan Mantri written in 1984, was an outcome of his encounter with then Prime Minister late Indira Gandhi at the Teen Murti Bhawan in 1984. "I completed the play in three months. The plot portrays the Prime Minister in a social set-up with her subordinates responsible for corruption. I was thinking of gifting the first published copy to her, when the news of her sudden death shocked the entire nation." He published his next novel, Ramdas, in 1992. It was sold in over 200 schools in Delhi. Recently, he was conferred with Inderprastha Sahitya Bharti Award. In Parampara Se Judi Bharatiya Rajniti, Rao has incorporated the experiences of his struggle.


Rao is the author of 18 novels, plays and political essays in Hindi, India's national language which is thought to vie with Spanish to be the world's third most-spoken mother tongue. Like most Hindi novelists he considers writing stories a calling, one he supports with the 4,000 rupees a month he makes from selling tea. "For 20 years I have made no money from my books."
                                                                       But Rao's luck appears to be changing. His novel Ramdas, about a wayward village boy who mends his ways only to drown suddenly, earned him 10 times as much money as he made from selling tea. He has handed over the running of his stall to his eldest son while he cycles around Delhi's libraries hawking his work. "I am the writer, the publisher, the salesman now," says Rao, 51. "There is a change coming even if I am too old to enjoy it."

Well this guy is certainly ready to say Buddha hoga tera baap……………….
                                       
Well maybe that’s why it is being called as “Incredible India”……………..

“WHAT IS MY RELIGION”

It’s been long that I’ve put up something here. Try as I may, am not able to sleep coz the incident in the morning keep coming back to me. I thought I would share it with you here.  


The hot tin roof of the Mumbai locals does not seem so hot these days. So the temperature within the compartment seemed quite pleasant this Monday morning. No flare ups, no bad tantrums, no glaring looks, when being pushed. It was a regular Monday morning travel for the regulars and a comfortable one for someone like me who could manage to jostle his way to the far end of the compartment cabinet where the huge rows of seats are.


What caught my attention is the cheerfulness of the entire “gang” (as these folks like to be referred) in their early 40’s. This gang of young boys had jokes and comments that would put young happening teenagers to shame.


I was amazed when the breakfast boxes came out and the Muslim fellow was really happy that “Sawaiyaan” came out. Of course, the box did not belong to him. And the group did not seem to have any other muslim gang member.  It turned out that the tiffin box was a special treat for this Muslim friend from the house of a Saraswat Brahmin with a special message of “ID Mubarak”; from the Brahmins wife.  The message was more clear than the content. I was awestruck the whole route and just stood their thru the whole journey thinking , “what my religion” and this is what I really mean when I say “Incredible India”..


I bow thee…

Who is the Kid............................................


Well it was 18:00 hrs of Saturday evening and I was catching the train from andheri station for panvel, thank god it was Saturday so I got a place to sit and after 10 min the train started, there were an old couple who were sitting in front my seat and near to them there was another couple with their small kid and there was one more late 40 guy sitting next to me, the kid was the center of attraction for our cabinet and his Act and Smile was a real stress buster at least for me. Till Vadala station everything was smooth, however the kid started crying after that and after a constant effort of 5 min the kid didn't stop crying, so the old couple who were sitting near to that lady took the kid in her hands and started singing. Somehow she was able to stop the child crying (experience speaks) but after 5 min he again started crying, then it was aunty’s husband turn of singing plus shaking his body on his own music, the kid enjoyed it and started playing with uncle hairs but suddenly he started crying again and the uncle next to me took the kid and took his mobile out for kid to play but I think the kid was more interested in Uncle mustaches so he started rolling its finger on it and uncle were bending himself down so that he can do this easily and finally when he started crying again, it was my turn as I was listening to music I passed one side of my headphone near to his ear and suddenly with a surprise he was hearing to it but after some time he took the headphone and started to put the wire inside his mouth and I had no reason to make him understand that please don't do it.
   But this was not the end, he again started crying and then the old couple pulled out a bottle of water and told her mother to give the kid some water and after drinking water he never cried. So the point is "he was thirsty" but this is not the angle which I want to highlight.

The point which I want to highlight is that

A crying kid made everyone turned into a kid as everyone did his/her childish stuff  in front of the kid to stop him crying while we always say that "we are not kid anymore" but when a kid actually comes near to you just because of his sweetness you mold yourself as a kid so actually tell me

“WHO IS THE KID........!!!!!"

The Corruption Is Within Us.


Well the hullabaloo of Anna Hazare fight for corruption is going big day by day and as the clock is ticking I suppose it will loom as large as it can loom.

Well we all are behind passing Jan Lokpal Bill to stop corruption in politics which is amazing as the major part of corruption is in politics but that is just half part of the story what about the corruption evil which resist inside every human being, I think before getting into all these huge rallies and candle march and mashal yatra, we should actually ask a question from ourselves that do we deserve to be a part of this revolution or not(I think the figure will be quite shocking).Well that’s not the major part,The major question is that, How this Jan Lok Pal will end the problem of corruption?
                                                           As the problem is not the government, first there are people who don't want work without taking money and secondly if they are not asking for money then there are others who have a perception in mind that if I will not pay my work will not get done on time.

For Instance one of my friend wanted a credit card swapping machine for his clothes outlet he went to the office for the swapping machine and the officer told him that if you will pay me Rs 2000/- you will get the swapping machine in 10 days otherwise it will take 2 months and my friend paid him 2000/- Rs and then in the evening he went to support Anna Hazare for his fight against corruption without knowing the fact that he doesn't deserve to be there.

This again raises the point of Hypocrisy we Indian have within us and if this society cannot remove corruption which they have inside them then what is the point of all these rallies and March. Well I will try to end this article with a very simple saying from swami Vivekananda

"Kill the Evil to Evaluate Rise of God"

As we are running like a donkey for no reason and wasting our life in Earning our own Identity in a place where people have almost forgotten the name of superstar like rajesh khana to all those people a very good morning.


Well in my last Blog I have shared the story of boy and that old lady well I think I am quite fascinated by that but lately yesterday I was there at his place and that guy was really upset and frustrated with the way things going in his life and At personal end also his life is going very hard as the girl he loved the most is almost out of his life & nothing is also going right at his hometown even and Blah blah blah stuff nothing seems to be going right at his corner as he is depressed and really frustrated and It's getting difficult for him to walk hard at such a crisis situation,Everybody is trying to make him understand that it's just a bad phase n everything will get over n Kingfisher goood times will come back and suddenly in between the discussion the Bell rings and when we open the gate we see that old lady standing outside the gate with her box of food as she didn't got her dinner yet and the sad part is that the food is over but the good roommates this guy have (I must admit that) arrange for milk and bread for her and then that lady start having her dinner and whensoever she comes at her place she watch Marathi channel and that day also while having that Milk and bread  we started a marathi channel for her & as per I remember at that time on that channel there was a comedy show on the air by the name of FUBYFU............. well I don't know what was going on the show but the old lady was simply laughing like a small kid while watching that show and suddenly the whole atmosphere of the room was changed as everybody was so happy from inside while watching her laughing.........................................

When Language Is Not a Barrier (A story of two people who don't understand each others language but they speak everyday)...


Location: Basement, a residential building near Khar Subway, Mumbai                                                                Time:     9:30pm
 
I regularly walk by this very old lady sitting at the basement of our building. Quite a few times, I have seen my friend talking to her in a very caring tone. My stress throughout the day, disallowed me to ask this friend, an out of towner Rajasthani, currently well settled in Mumbai; the reason why he sits there and chats with her. Until one day, I could not resist and asked him about the kind of conversation he has with this old woman.
It seems the old lady is a Maharashtrian and a resident of Mumbai having born and bought up here, and has a family staying very close by to where we stay. Her immediate family, her only son has disowned her due to reasons that are very convenient to a few youngsters these days.
I also got to know from my friend’s colleague that he regularly helps this lady with breakfast, lunch and dinner almost every day without fail. Now, we do not cook extra at our bachelors pad, but my friend ensures that we do not waste any morsel and do not throw anything in the dustbin. Every extra food goes to feed and help the upkeep of this lady.
A few important question here:

a)       Why do people we care for throughout our lifetime disown us and why does some stranger help us when we need our own people around us?
b)        What does our education system teach us? Does it not teach us all lessons that life has in store for us or is it just materialistic teaching that is inculcated in us ?

And finally, how does one understand each other when we do not speak or understand each other’s language and still get to know about each other so well that the bond just defies all logic?


And all the time when I ask him that how does you understand that what she is trying to say,he always reply me back with a quite smile and then I don't ask him anything.......................

I am sure you will agree with me that humanity speaks the language that very few humans of our times understand and my friend, dear readers is one of them ………………

The Black Sheep.........................................

Minister of state for home Satej Patil’s initiative to accept only notebooks as his birthday gift makes for a welcome change from the extravagant birthday celebrations by politicians. Patil, who collected more than 5.5 lakh notebooks on his 39th birthday on April 12, plans to distribute them to the students of the schools run by the Zilla Parishad and the civic bodies in the district.
Since 2007 Patil instead of accepting garlands, flowers, installing posters or issuing advertisements, accepts only notebooks as his birthday gifts. So far 16.27 lakh notebooks have been given to 3.80 lakh students in 380 schools.
“Generally supporters install huge posters, issue advertisements in newspapers and gift garlands and flowers to politicians on their birthdays. It is just a waste of money. So, since 2007 every year I appeal my supporters to bring notebooks instead of garlands or other gifts. The initiative has received a good response,” Patil said.
The two-time Congress MLA collected 2.12 lakh notebooks in 2007 and since then the number has been increasing. He collected 4.38 lakh, 4.66 lakh and 5.10 lakh notebooks in 2008, 2009, 2010 respectively.
“The cost of the notebooks collected since 2007 is estimated around Rs1 crore. This would have been a waste if I had celebrated my birthday in a routine manner,” he said.
“Installing posters deface the city so I discouraged it and asked my supporters to bring notebooks,” he added.
“A single notebook costs just Rs10. So a common man can also wish me easily instead of wasting Rs50 on a single garland. The person who gifts me a couple of notebooks does not feel that he is wasting his money,” he said.
Students from standard I to IV get two notebooks each, while students from standard V to VII get three and students from standard VIII to X get four notebooks.
Well he is one who knows his responsiblity atleast ......................................................

The Jan Lokpal Bill (Citizen's ombudsman Bill) is a draft anti-corruption bill drawn up by prominent civil society activists seeking the appointment of a Jan Lokpal, an independent body  that would investigate corruption cases, complete the investigation within a year and envisages trial in the case getting over in the next one year.
Retired IPS officer Kiran Bedi and other known people like Swami Agnivesh, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Anna Hazare and Mallika Sarabhai are also part of the movement, called India Against Corruption. Its website describes the movement as "an expression of collective anger of people of India against corruption. We have all come together to force/request/persuade/pressurize the Government to enact the Jan Lokpal Bill. We feel that if this Bill were enacted it would create an effective deterrence against corruption."


One of the person who support this campaign I Request to all those who come to know about this campaign please support this campaign

Suicide vs Mercy Killing ( are they different from each other) :


Ever heard of the phrase “tis a fool’s paradise”. Well let’s analyse the phrase today and its different connotation in our everyday life.

If  memory serves us right, the recent Supreme Court verdict dismissing the plea for mercy killing of Aruna Shanbaug who has been comatose for the last 37 years, has been a case in point to legalise active euthanasia. Here the entire community, including the medical fraternity that has been taking care of the 60 year old is glad, about the court’s decision.  

“India is not mature enough to handle euthanasia,” said senior Bangalore-based cardiologist Devi Prasad Shetty, while expressing his happiness over the verdict on a mercy killing.

The Supreme Court clearly has taken public interest into consideration over and above some personal intolerance in this case.

Let me give you a different perspective to the mirror that we holding here.

Bhavdan , Pune:  A family of four — aged parents and two sons — ended their lives by consuming poison at their residence last Thursday (March 24).

Mumbai: A 30-year-old woman jumped to her death from the 19th floor of a building with her two children last Tuesday (March 22). All three died on the spot, eyewitnesses recounted.

Here is the other angle to our story which clearly indicates - “Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem”.

Between the above two extremes , the former require explicit permission from the apex body to end one’s life and the community feels it to be fraught with danger; whereas the latter case does not really care what the society or law says and are decided at the spur of a moment by individual determined to go the farthest. The means to an end in both of these primarily remains the same.

Let us not get into a debate between a desired expression by the helpless and a wilful execution by the hale and hearty. But the point to ponder is, do we actually need a law for something that exist since the emotional humankind came into existence, which we all know as “Suicide” . Just give it a thought.

Garib Nagar Burns out in Ashes to provide a New Soul for Ameer Nagar:


Who say that you can't fuck innocent people life for nothing yes that's true and Garib Nagar  is the biggest example of it.
All those who believe that land had nothing to do with the fire at Garib Nagar in Bandra east last week please put your hands up. Yes, I see you two in the front row, shining in your innocence. 
A property worth 22000 crores were burn in ashes in 7 hours and the best part is nobody has to pay anything for that land,I just wonder the amount of mullah these builders will make out of it.
But the so childish Indian law is freaky so weak that everybody will come out of these very easily.
Have any of you heard of any action since either against the developer or the officers involved in the scheme? Do any of you think that any action is likely? You two in the front row, shining with your sweet belief, please put your hands down.
Meanwhile, finally, we hear some honesty from a chief minister - free housing does not work. Activists have long stated that people are willing to pay for houses in the city.
But let’s leave the fire alone for now and try and figure out just how Garib Nagar grew practically on top of the station at Bandra East.
Can one assume that no one saw this colony as it sprouted? Or did everyone just wake up one morning and find thousands in residence?
The fire brigade is close by yet the fire hazard was perhaps not foreseen even though they now tell us that the slums were made of flammable materials. Really?
Hardly surprisingly, no one claims to know just whom the land that Garib Nagar stands on belongs to — it is apparently public land that belongs to some public agency, in other words we the people, but the responsibility for its upkeep is being shucked from here to there.
The tragedy is that none of this is new or unexpected. It is just when human suffering stares us in the face that we are forced to sit up and take notice.

The Stupid Law : Scarlett's body lying in UK mortuary for 3yrs, CBI nod awaited

Three years after the mysterious death of Scarlett Keeling on a Goa beach, the body of the British teenager is still lying in a mortuary in the UK as her family awaits a CBI nod for her last rites.


Wow how stupid a law can be imagine a family whose daughter has been raped and then killed by someone 3 years back is still waiting approval of CBI  nod to release the body  lies with the investigating agency.


The body of Scarlett has been since lying in Devon County mortuary with the Coroner''s office in the UK. In such cases, the victim''s family has no right to seek release of the body and the onus lies on the prosecution to issue a no-objection certificate which has not been done in the case so far.


The CBI is unwilling to come on record on the matter.
It has been a long wait for the victim''s family especially the mother. Sources close to the family claimed that the CBI team was requested informally to release the body but "no one was willing to take a decision".
"Many postmortems have been conducted but the investigating agency is still unable to take a stand whether they want to keep the body or not," the sources alleged.
Well i don't know how many yearsssssssssssssssss will CBI take to resolve 
mysterious death of Scarlett Keeling on a Goa beach but I pray to god that her awaiting mother get her daughter Dead Body As early as possible.

Bombay court likely to decide date for verdict in Kasab case : For God sake end this drama.


he case relating to confirmation of death sentence awarded to Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab for his role in 26/11 terror attacks is in its final stages with the Bombay high court likely to fix tomorrow the date for delivering the verdict.
On January 7, arguments concluded in the case following which Justice Ranjana Desai and Justice RV More reserved order and kept the matter for directions on February 7.
The judges are likely to pronounce the date for the verdict when case comes up tomorrow, high court sources said.
Along with the verdict on confirmation of death penalty, the hight court would also give judgment on an appeal filed by Kasab against his conviction and also on the appeal filed by Maharashtra government against acquittal of co-accused Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed in the same case.
Arguments on these matters began on October 17 last and were heard on a day-to-day basis by the court except for brief periods during Diwali and Christmas holidays.
For the first time, a video conference link was put up in the court for hearing appeals. Cameras were installed in court room no 49 to enable Kasab hear proceedings from jail.

For God's sake please end this drama ASAP & announce the harshest of punishment available in law to this Demon. I am afraid even after the verdict will be announced by the higher court, it will again be appealed in the Supreme Court and then after years of unnecessary wastage of time & Indian money nothing will happen.
People of India should unite to stop this delay in the judgement.

Any ways government has fucked lot of money on his security and other shit things please i have a sincere  request hang him as early as you can please............................................................

SM Krishna reads Portuguese minister's speech at UN: What a Mockery??????


External affairs minister S M Krishna was caught in a public gaffe when he inadvertently read out the speech of the Portuguese minister at a UN Security Council meeting here but rectified the error after an Indian official drew his attention.


Speaking at the United Nations Security Council at a debate on security and development yesterday, Krishna read out the wrong speech for about three minutes before being corrected by India's envoy to the UN Hardeep Singh Puri. 

Krishna read Portuguese foreign minister Luis Amado's speech, without realising his mistake, apparently because the first portion related to general issues pertaining to the UN, development and security. 

But a few lines did go out of place. "On a more personal note, allow me to express my profound satisfaction regarding the happy coincidence of having two members of the Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP), Brazil and Portugal, together here today," was one of them. 

Krishna could have said this thinking it fit because Brazil holds the current presidency of the Security Council. 

"The European Union is also responding in this manner in coordination with the United Nations," he said, before Puri intervened. 

"You can start again," Puri told Krishna following the faux pas. 

The Portugal minister had already spoken before India. Krishna is here on a two-day visit to push India's agenda for Security Council reforms.

Discrimination.


Was walking in the street last night with few friends, just saw few marathi people are hitting a guy for just a reason that he is from UP or in more sophisticated words he was a "bhiyya",He was being punished for no reason and few men who were highly drunked  had a power to fuck anybody's ass just because of the reason that they are marathi or they are from mumbai but if anybody who comes from other state and work hard to earn his respect and money to run his family down there, kilometers away from him get a ill treatment like this from his following countrymen.

Wow great media states that Indian face racism in Australia, what about these inter-state discrimination,No one is bothered about it.

We are real educated illiterates in this modern world who fight for those thing which are wrong within us and want to change the world without even thinking of rectifying ourselves.

Being Optimistic


Being Optimistic:
                              Its required to be optimistic as a human being because “to achieve something in life you must first believe it that I can do it” so to think positive is the key here.
                                                 But we need to realize one thing in life is that optimization should not be unrealistic what I am trying to say here is that, If you want to be “Jack Welch” you must know where are you right by comparing where he was at that point of time so by your present comparison you will make out few things and then actually you will understand where are you lacking and that’s a base to achieve something which you are looking out for.
