A Movement against corruption led by Anna Hazare Ji....A Mass Movement

Initially when Anna Ji started his fast at Jantar-Mantar on 5th Apr 11 for Jan Lokpal Bill, he got a massive support from all section of society, which compelled Govt. to take a stand, Govt. took a decision in hurry and formed a joint commitee to draft Lokpal Bill where Civil society and Govt. designated members will sit together. Talks failed.
Anna ji warned Govt that he will intiate another fast from 16th Aug 11 if lokpall bill will not be passed. Govt. did not gave a single damn thought to Anna, thinking that Anna would not be able to get the kind of support which he got on his first fast, and so presented their version of bill, ignoring Anna's concern, which has gone to standing commitee now... God knows in which shape bill would resonate from there....

Now Anna ji is on fast and to everyone's surprise Anna has got a super mass support from all across the country and world....It was a very proud moment when Anna ji was on the way from Tihar Jail to Ramlila Ground, which hv seen many such historical movements, mass were with him like water was flowing on road with Anna. No one complaint the traffic Jams, uneasyness or riots like situation. Even ony of my colleague told me, when he stucked in the Jam near India gate, he was a getting a feeling from inside to park his vehicle and join the movement there.
Govt is now intemidating with Anna's mass movement against corruption that it is searching for some option to get away from this to save its image, which seems a farest dream now.
Anna ji might not got such a mass support, if he would not had been arrested and sent to Tihar Jail, instead allowed to protest...It was also a possibility that Anna could have been treated in the same way as Baba Ramdev had been treated.. But the agitated comments, which govt. recvd. from all section of community and the steps taken by Baba Ramndev to took the matter in court, making Delhi police and Govt. a party, It stopped Delhi Police to take the same extreme action against Anna ji. It was like Baba Ramdedv had absorbed all the scorching heat which Delhi Police wish to take on Anna ji's protest in support of Jan lokpal bill.

Now spritial gurus are showing solidarity to Anna. There is no way for Manmohan's Govt to escape. So called future PM Rahul has no word to say on it...where is he now ? He is not mature enough....

Most of anti Anna and pro Govt. people are saying that Parliament is supreme and law has to be passed in it and it is difficult and impossible to pass Jan lokpal Bill as implementation of it not possible at all level. Here is reply: Point 1:Anna ji is not against the fact that law is to be made in Parliament, he just want to present Jan lokpal Bill before Parliament.. let go the debate on it and then pass the law what so ever comes out after debate... Point 2 every major developemnt/change initially looks difficult and impossible, but if there is a will there is a way..Just wantred to bring in the notice few accomplishments done by Indians whch were impossible intially: how had we made possible our GSLV,PSLV and successfull launch of these, we are planning to go on moon, Metro is now a reality in Delhi even at the busiest and old part of the city, the Metro is going to be happen in mumbai soon, Mobility revolution which has made the communication devices and services in the hand of poorer people of our country...... And to all the above of of these our Independence which was a hardest dream, every indian saw... Is'nt it?
If Jan lokpal bill could hv been passed 15-20 years before we could hv avoided Boforse,2G scam, commonwealth extravagent game,etc.. these are few...

Hoping this movement will go on untill Anna ji and we, people of India, gets long awaited Jan lokpal Bill. I am going tomorrow to Ramlila Ground to support Anna Ji and hoping the same from you all.

Do You Live In The Comfort Zone?

Below is a extract from one of the blog i read:

The comfort zone is where you feel safe. No waves. No rough seas. See no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil. I’m not going to bother you and I don’t want you to bother me. That’s the comfort zone. Or as some call it…living in the box. Where do you live? Do you live in the box……I mean do you live your life in the comfort zone?

I don’t mean comfort like you are financially comfortable. That’s where we all want to be. I mean comfort in the fact that you will never stray to far out of the comfort of your box. Like a puppy or a new born chick. They will never stray to far away from their mother. Why would they? They have warmth, food, and comfort. Kinda like why so many kids today, who don’t move away from home and make a life for themselves. They are comfortable there. They don’t want to move away from that comfort.

Eagles are a great example of this.

Eagles are very beautiful and interesting birds. They build their nests on high cliffs to keep intruders out and their eggs protected. After those eggs hatch and the birds are born, they will grow up and be fed and protected until they can take care of themselves.

The mother will get the young ready for flight by flying close to the nest with food in her mouth, but never giving it to the young birds. As she flies by, they try to grab it from her. Teetering on the edge of the nest their wings are open and flapping to keep from falling. In this way they are exercising the wings that will eventually allow them to soar at heights of 10,000 feet and reach speeds up to 35 mph.

To get the birds out of their comfort zone, the mother will take out the soft feathers that had once lined the nest. This will expose the thorny sticks and twigs of the nest, making it anything but comfortable.

To the reluctant bird who just doesn’t want to leave that warm comfy nest, she will eventually push him out. As he falls, he had better learn how to use those wings. She will come underneath him a couple of times and catch him to try again. This will only happen for so long. If he hasn’t picked it up, she will let him fall to his death.

97% of the world’s population live their lives in their comfort zone. In the box. Only 3% venture out of the box. Those are your Donald Trump’s, Robert Kiyosaki’s, and Thomas Edison’s of the world. They are the risk takers. The people who dare to dream. The adventurers of this world. The entrepreneurs that will leave their marks on society. Discover the cure for a disease.

Thomas Edison tried over a thousand times to build an incandescent light bulb. Just think how many people must have laughed? How many must have thought he was a bit crazy? But he never quit until he did what he set out to do.He could see that light bulb in his head. Nobody else could.

Determination, perseverance, and a will that is not moved by the naysayers. You know…….the people who are shouting their insults and negative remarks from the comfort of their box. That is what is needed to be a network marketer. You have to get uncomfortable. You have to get out of the box.

Movement of non-cooperation to CW Games 2010

As in my previous post on CWG i raised the concerns about the Quality of work and doubted the respective authorities to complete all CWG related work evenafter games end. It is now before all the countrymen. Mrs. Sheila Dixit has given a final deadline of 15 Sep 10 to finish all CWG work, before a fortnight from the date game has to start. Which looks impossible at the current pace of work, amount of work to complete, the weather conditions and foremost Corruption.
Our Delhi's Chief Minister Shiela Dixit is requesting all the delhities to support and chear the games connecting it with pride of the Nation. Why this situation came before her that she is on her knee requesting to all countrymen to pray to God to finish the work and successfully hosting the games. She had almost 6 years to complete the CWG work. Initially when CWG games were awarded to Delhi, Indins were feeling proud and were thinking to be at par with the developed nation. We were feeling that we will show the world ,like China did, that India can host big events of sports. But after spending a big chunk of exhequer, not on the work but to the Pockets of Babu's,officials and ministers, now the people were feeling the throe and cursing the Delhi Govt. for it. Even public is asking why are we hosting such a big event which is of no use? We are a nation where 40 % of the population is poor. I am not going deep into this.

Our sportsman has lost the opportunity of homeground. Can we expect Gold medals from them. NO!

I read an Article on CWG by Chetan Bhagat " PLEASE DONT'T CHEAR THE 2010 LOOT FEST" where he asked Delhities for "Non-Cooperation Movement of CWG" . It was really interesting article.
Excerpt is here:
The CWG 2010 is , by far, the biggest and most blatant, excercise in corruption in independent India's history. Not Only have they stolen public money, they have made a mess of the job at hand.

Calling it a great daylight robbery of 2010.

Enquiry reports, vague statements, tossing responsibility from one person to the other will continue, untill the games are over. After that, fingers crossed, people will forget. Bollywood stars will do the closing ceremony and the entertainment provided will somewhat compensate for the loot fest.
In the middle of all this, there will be propaganda campaigns to 'save India's image' and get the games done somehow. If we, the Indian people, support these games, it will be a big mistake. This is a golden chance for citizens to put this corrupt and insensitive government to shame.And the way to do it is simply what the father of our nation pioneered in his time-NON COOPERATION. Do not watch these games. Do not go to venues.

Not digestable this as we are at heart Indians which used to show off a good image to outer world. He really thinks in a different way. But Chetan made us remember the act of our politicians.

If they can walk out of the parliament, we can walk out of stadiums. After all we all Indians have been robbed at the same time.

Very true!. When our politicians walkout of the parliament,throw shoes, fight among themselves where the pride of the nation has gone, although they know that they are being watched by world.

Some might say, should't we suport the games on account of our country's pride?

Chetan Bhagat narrates a very good story related to Pride: "When i was a child, our neighbours were a violent man and his battered wife. The women would cover her bruise marks with make-up, suffering silently. Whenever we visited them, the couple presented the perfect picture of a happy couple. She even praised her husband. I asked my mother why the woman behaved in that way and did't exposed her husband to show him in his true colours. My mother told me it does not look nice to portray an unhappy home. She has to save the familiy pride.Over time, the bruises turned to fractures, and the fractures became near fatal injuries. Untill one day,Police cars and ambulance came in and took both husband and wife away respectively."

Yes, such is Indian Culture. The Organizers are the operssaive husband, the Indian people the battered wife.

Caste Census, Reservation and Politics

Census!!! the word means an official count or survey of population.

On 3rd Apr, 2010,The country, on Thursday, took up one of its biggest intiatives, of counting its 1.2 billion population engaging over 25 lakh officials. The President, Ms. Pratibha Patil, inaugurated the census count, her name being recorded first.
The civic body has started door-to-door process of data collection for census. It includes details that will be used to build a comprehensive database for the National Population Register (NPR). It will cost Rs 2,209 crore and operation will be conducted over a period of 45 days in each state and Union Territory.
The enumerator can knock your door on any day.

It is imperative to note census is related to reservation, How? A big question. Apart from other details enumaertor will ask you your caste too. It is to ascertain that which caste is in what percentage of the population, so that reservation can be devised for backward and schedule castes to uplift their social and economic condition. Here note to be made that in India reservation is caste based not the financial condition.Although many people are economically backward in every caste whether it is General, OBC or SC category.
Reservation in education system and public sector jobs are hammering the economic growth of the country leaving the talent untapped.And it will endure protracted untill this reservation will not be eradicated. I am using word eradicated because caste based reservation is just like a epidemic.
You all must have faced the consequences/benefits of reservation at the time of getting admission in a good college or at the time of searching a Govt. job.

Through close observation i can say that if Govt. wants to provide reservation to the weaker section of the society, it should facilitate them financially like free education till 12 th class and also to talented students for higher education, which is now transpired through Right To Education Act .
There should be no reservation for getting admission in college/jobs. Talent shall get the job and our economy will grow exponentially.
If reservation has to be provided it has to be for the weaker section of the society based on their economic conditions.

Poltical parties came into power and go but nothing has been done to remove the reservation as they fear lose the votes. Even in Orrisa, there was a time when there is no caste based politics, now it has given the fire by few parties to burn their own oven. Caste is dividing india and political parties are the only beneficieriesYoung india must awake and understand the way political parties are fooling us.

The census 2011 is nothing more than this that India will be again devided on the basis of caste but the data gathered will be useful to UID project in great, headed by Nandan Nilekani , with some other projects run for the poorer section.

Commonwealth Games 2010

It was a day of national celebration for India When Delhi won the bid to host the 2010 edition of Commomwealth Games ,which has previously hosted the Asian Games in 1951 and 1982. Every delhiites were immensely proud and happy. Happiness was not for the very reason that Delhi would come on the map of hosting big event nations but the development which C'wealth Games will bring into the city.

November 13,2003 was the day Delhi won for CWG and the cost of hosting the event was estimated at Rs 1899 Crore. This official cost estimates have gone up by whopping 525% at Rs 10000/- Crore. But according to some independent NGOs estimate has gone up by 1575 % at Rs 30000/- Crore. In every project estimated cost is bound to go up but not with such percentage. It is all general public's money.

I came to Delhi in search of a good job in 2006. At that time i did not saw any of the major work going on except the Delhi metro's. The preparation started only in 2007 and paced up in 2009 after Michael Fennell, president of the Commonwealth Games Federation, had said that he was “extremely worried” about preparations for the Games. Now we could find the Delhi as a city of dust.Construction works are on in every part of Delhi.

Its all OK. But who is going to check the quality of the work? No work was reported to be of subquality till now. Only Metro got some of the dents owing few accidents which took toll of few lives. It seems that government is trying to save her nose by completing all the construction works by Aug 2010 in haste at any cost compromising the quality of works. Also what about the cleaning of pollution level in terms of dust which takes about six months to settle down.

It would be funny to note that constructions are being done by common man's money living and working in Delhi, facing the heat of inflation with increase in the existing taxes and some of new more taxes, for the very reason that this work will not stay for longer to avail the benefits with substandard quality of work.

why do we need such big events for the development of the city?

Save our Planet

"we say , Save our Planet but Planet must be saying- save yourself first i would be fine."

Yes! it is true.

In today's world human, an intellectual species, is so selfish that he wants to use all the resources available on our planet to spent their life luxurious. Difficult to comprehend, why? Is this the purpose of life?

In my opinion, most of the people are unaware of the consequences or don't want to give a damn thought , they are using in making their life easy. Money has given the power to purchase whatever you wants to Or the intricacy of the matter and its subsequent sensitivity prevents them from doing the things to protect the environment.I like the eccentricity of one human trying to cope with multiple humans inside him.

Today our Planet is burning and it is being anticipated by the Scientists that in next 300 years temperature would rise to the limit that humans could unable to adapt or survive.The main reason behind Climate change is the burning of fossil fuels. The world's biodiversity is threatened by the economic growth.

Humans are not thinking all about this aspect in hustle - bustle of life. Even i saw in Delhi that most of the cars carrying only one person/it is only driver. Lots of chemicals are being dumped in rivers,Trees are being choped off in the name of development, very few institution have the rain water harvesting system. Drinking water is being truncated, owing wastage of supplied water, in such a way that Delhi's Goverment is now planning to supply the recycled drainage water on the model of Singpore's water supply system.

We must awake, act in right direction to conserve the natural resources for us and posterity.Nature has such a distinct way of reminding us all the time that we are such insignificant pawns in their presence. It becomes imperative therefore that we respect it, preserve it and learn to live with its eminence.

Pursuits of Disintegration

Today in the evening i went to V3S Mall to walk, and after having a walk i took a seat to reminisced. After few minutes i tried to focus on my surroundings and noticed that only young married couples with their children,couples and few single girls and boys were roming here and there in exubarance. In my half an hour sitting i found only three families who were accompanied by their parents in their sixties or seventies.
What our yonger generation is running after? They don't have time for their parents but have for their family. Although they know that they have to pass this phase too but who cares. It all about Money Honey. Even they dont hv the time for their invaluable asset i.e. their own body , a great gift from GOD. You can see youngers with a huge tummey.
What happens in the pursuits of earning their livlihood they left with no time to spent with the parents or children or their wife, if she is too working - it is very difficult to manage the time for the partner. Also they got so engaged in their daily routine that people wants no interference from any vertical. And their aim of life is to do better upbringing of the children and taking care of all their necessities , leaving their parents on their own.
they are unaware that with the Parents family feels protected, secure. Reap the benefits of their experience...... kids learns valuable lessons of life from them which no teacher will teach . Just try to spent quality time with the parents and try to notice the delightness on their face...Priceless!
