Its maya! everywhere

An US cable titled “Portrait of a Lady”  was sent by the political Counsel of US embassy of India.  Its says about the UP chief Minister Mayawati and her ministers. Read more at this link Mayawathi and her nine cooks

If Assange is wished to be sent to a mental asylum in Agra, its  Maya.
If jets fly with just a pair of sandals its Maya.
If corruption comes before everything its Maya.
If party comes before Government, its Maya.
If money turns itself into a garland, its Maya.
If  someone indulges in turning oneself into statue though still alive, its Maya.
If you turn left its Maya, Right – its Maya,  Up its Maya, Straight – its Maya, Behind – its Maya, Below its Maya. Past-already Maya, Future – Maya in the making.
Its Maya (hypocrisy, corruption) everywhere…….

If everything is Maya, then what is real? Rahul Gandhi?  No, Sonia Gandhi? No, Mahmohan Singh? LK Advani? No, Vidya Balan? No, Anna Hazare? May be!

Man LokPal

Parliament gives  nod on key elements of Jan Lokpal Bill. Its  “people’s victory” says  Anna Hazare and broke his 12-day-old fast on Sunday declaring that electoral reforms will be on top of his agenda next so that corruption can come down. The news channels filled with footage of wide spread celebrations  from all walks of life in all corners of the country. Such was the movement that prompted BJP to support Anna Hazar-e (hazar means thousand in Hindi) and Rahul Gandhi to  make a statement in the Lok Sabha. The support from the country men underlines to what extent Corruption has corrupted the people.

Half way thou

Half way through full meal - Source: The Hindu

If the bill is passed then an independent ombudsman body similar to Election commission of India called LokPal will be formed.
 It would be empowered to register and investigate complaints of corruption against politicians and bureaucrats without prior government approval. What if this becomes corrupt too! Arey, don’t look skywards!
hmm! Another movement will be started by Anna Lakh-e to form Pure Jan LokPal replacing the present Jan LokPal. and then 100% Pure Jan LokPal to replace it and this tagging continues with no end to corruption.
Next comes Bhagwan LokPal in which the Gods are the heads. And this too will turn useless because  they too will turn gods to partners  through by offerings or  people will turn  to atheists!
Even the Aishwarya LokPal, Katrina Lokpal will not work as they cannot stay charming for eternity.
No system works as long as we have the unending itching sensation in our minds to earn more, to spend more, to buy more, to breathe more, to shit more!
What we really need Man LokPal, a self-regulatory system  in every one of us.
I will wait till everyone else follows it!

Dabbawalas got Corrupted?

The Mumbai Dabbawalas struck work for the first time in 120 years, in support of Anna Hazare. They have deviated from the ideal (corrupted) for the first  time  in 120 years of rich tradition by striking work. Around 1200 dabbawalas marched from Churchgate station in Mumbai to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus of Mumbai in a grand show of solidarity with the Jan Lokpal cause.

It was interesting to know that their customers were in full support of the strike, as they were more than willing to skip their lunch.

This corruption(deviation) from routine was caused by the increasing corruption in everyday life. There is some kind of foolish race for easy money, wealth, comfort  among us and we are too short-sighted to see that every one is going to lose in the end.

Lets  work with uncorrupted sincerity that this Anti-Corruption movement will be successful.

 

Political Potpourri

Indian Political Potpourri

  • Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh reiterated he is clean and the corruption and inaction against it is due to coalition compulsions. The coalition partners have nothing to give but lot to take from the Potpourri called government and the country.
  • Prime Minister Manmohan Singh always says “I am clean” by showing his front but never showed his back.
  • Prime Minister is clean. That credit should be given to his Dhobi and the soap he uses.
  • The Chiranjeevi has joined his 2 year old party into the giant Congress. He said it is like a river joining the ocean. – Read it like this ” It is like Drainage from Jubilee Hills joining the already polluted(corrupted) Hussain Sagar Tank”. They never get dried until this land turns desert.
  • DMK party chief Kalaignar Karunanidhi  is an atheist. If he was God fearing at least he would have thought twice before backing Spectrum Raja and care a little for the people of the country.
  • The -Nidhis of Tamil Nadu, Karunanidhi, Dayanidhi, Kalanidhi… Don’t know whether they are the wealth (Nidhi) of grace, care, art but they are the Nidhi’s of money.
  • Union Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee seems to be on the Right Track in ousting the Left in West Bengal

Media-tor

Barely  monsoons and  Toofans left sweeping the country – length and breadth, cities and villages, roads and fields.  Its time for Nira Radia with her tapes!
The news is not widely published in the media as it relates to media. The telephonic conversations of Nira Radia, a Corporate Lobbyist, with the big names in the Telecom industry , media and politics were leaked by OPEN Magazine.  The Income Tax Department has given permission to tap the phone of Nira Radia for income tax irregularities.
The tapes can be heard over Youtube or read on Open Magazine.

She plowed an extra inch deep into the politics and also the media and herself. (Nira means plowed field in Hebrew) This has exposed how the media which generally plows the politics to expose the weeds, turned into one of them. ” All are weeds” . The rear glimpses of weeding operation “sting operation” was only to remove any remaining flowers in the field. Did we give this country to a bunch of weed cultivators? May be. We thought MEDIA is some TERMINATOR , but is just playing  MEDIA-TOR.

MEDIA-TOR

The Income Tax Department would not have imagined  what the tapes would reveal. The 2G(Government and Telecom industry) became 3G(Government, Telecom industry and Media). Anyone’s grandma would say “whip those who cheat” but now we “Zip up and save those who cheat”. Again the slate is clean until someone wants to write something.
The lively and effervescent Barkha Dutt  of NDTV would have removed the veil long ago off her face but this one off her face was more revealing and unexpected.  Vir Sanghvi of Hindustan Times would have shown his bravery in a different way rather than volunteering to play a middlemen.  They said ” We need to play such roles in order win the trust of our sources.” I would like to ask ” Why didn’t you expose or hint of the scam while it was on the stove?” I don’t know what there true intentions are but something is wrong with all of us – “Too much patience”

It again rises an ugly question- ” Are we empowered by the deluge of competing media? I don’t think so. Its again similar to the days of Doordarshan, when the whole news network was controlled by the government. The Governments have evolved to control it again. They just give you a glimpse of the tip of an iceberg and make you believe ” That’s the iceberg!.
They have only used the media to further their interests. They only make hue and cry of the issues but never follow up to find what’s happening  with those issues.  ” Interestingly, all major issues, like these 2G scam, The Telangana agitation etc.,  happen only during the Parliament sessions. The opposition as expected by the Government stalls all the activities and the Parliament sessions end without any meaningful discussions on important issues. And finally suspends all the opposition and passes all its bills single handed or pass the GOs.  And people forget everything as if there was no storm.

Manmohan Singh has repeatedly shown how a Prime Minister can be a puppet while the orders come from “madam”

What does people like Nira Radia should learn? Pay your taxes properly otherwise you may lose some of your livelihood.

We are Raped! Did we ask for it?

30 NOV 2009:  The students in OU have peacefully assembled to express their support to Telangana statehood. The police entered the Campus, surrounded the students, chased and beat them cruelly.
A APSRTC bus heading towards its destination was stopped by the protestors and all the passengers were forced to disembark and before all its patrons, the doors and windows of the bus were torn and glasses broken. It was humiliated. It was followed by torching it with petrol.  Ten more buses were reported to be damaged in Telangana due to the protests by TRS and Students.

1 DEC 2009, GOA: A 25 year old Russian woman was raped by the local politician, John Fernandes in his car  after physically assaulting her. She lodged a complaint with the police and was harassed by the police to withdraw the complaint. The Politicians tried to cover it up under the mat.  They are worried about the image of Goa ahead of the tourist season.

1 DEC 2009:  More students beaten, many more buildings and private vehicles were  damaged, windows broken, more buses were torched. More Bandhs, more property losses, closures, more rapes…

These violations are happening in broad day light and we stand their spectators. Some deranged people dictate terms, pass the rules, call for bandhs, force to shut down the businesses, schools, lathi-charge the students, rape the women..

It is not the buses which which are damaged but our right to freedom, it is not the glasses which are broken but our right to stand by our human values,  It is not the students those are beaten, but our Freedom of Expression,  It is not the Russian woman who was raped, but our right to Existence.

The buses were damaged by the same people who travelled by them, the buildings and shopping malls were damaged by the people who come there to live, do shopping. The students and people were beaten by the police who are meant to protect them. The Russian woman was raped by the Goan who posed as a friend and to drop her.  But the Congress MP from Goa,  Shantaram Naik says that “THE WOMAN ASKED FOR IT………”

Jai Telangana

What an end to the 12 day long agitations in the Telangana Region of AP state. The mid night celebrations  started after Union Home Minister Mr. Chidambaram announced the starting of process of formation of a separate state was being set into motion and that a resolution to this effect would be moved in the Andhra Pradesh assembly shortly. This is a welcome news for everyone after fortnight of tense and situations.
A similar agitation in the year 1969 has been crushed with the firing of 400 students . Now it is the sacrifices of 30 students and youth and the continuous peaceful agitation by students, political parties, employees that bent the government to take a favorable decision.

The worst of all this was the lathi charge against the students in OU(This is the turning point as it made all other students, political parties, employees  in the Telangana region to join the movement). They were ruthlessly cornered and beaten. Even the women in the Manikeshwar Nagar(adjacent to OU) were beaten. This further strengthened the resolve of the students and got wide spread support from all the people.

Thanks to the Central Government for the quick decision, people in the Hyderabad can have some peace.

If we look at why Telangana region is backward. For this we can site many reasons.

1. Telangana was under the oppressive rule of Nizams before the independance while the Andhra region was under the Britishers.   There was no education, governments in the T region while there was overall development in the A region. The reason for Britishers not annexing the Nizams is because the T region was not near to the coast and not so strategic economically or administation wise. So Nizam’s collected hefty taxes from the people, part of which they had to pay to the Britishers.

2. The late release of the Telangana region: Telangana joined the Indian  Republic only in 1951 after the Indian troops led by late Vallabhai Patel defeated the Nizams.

3. There were no powerful leaders from the Telangana region after the immediate formation Andhra Pradesh state who could lobby for the regions development.

4. Not adequate educated people from the region immediately available to fill the Government posts and other jobs.

5. And No adequate water resources though both Krishna and Godavari flow through the region.

6. May be a little bit of people’s attitude. and Many more.

NO HORN Please

Who found water on Moon. Indians!  But we do not have water or some means to curb the fire at IOC depot in Jaipur. What a pity! What shall we do: We leave it Rain God. But the monsoon season is ending and God of Rain must be on leave or sent onsite on deputation in some other continent. To be generic We will just leave it to Gods  as AP chief Minister Rosaiah as always does    “God has to save the Flood Victims” . For it is his Sanyasa phase of life. Its natural for him to say that. We are the fools to have him there.  This God driven goddamn Government  ( In a recent survey it was found that, people who did not vote complain the most) does not have the money put new roads or at least patch the ditches  out there!   Let someone ring the bell or blow the horn into the ears of the sleeping government. “God we will lay the roads in Hyderabad”.

Oh horns! they are the most used after the mouse by the Hyderabadis.  One day this guy in some imported car comes from no where and starts pressing the horn queak, queak queak. Doesn’t that idiot understand that everyone is waiting for the signal to turn Green and they have nowhere to go. He is pressing the horn as if his grandmother Indira Gandhi has built the road and benevolent enough to allow others to use it. His anxiety shows that  ” Arrey yaar please move, my girl friend will run away with someone!” queak queeeeeeeeeeeeeeak.  someone just raised the middle finger in his direction. There are many guys  out there horning as they breathe.
I don’t know what happiness people get in horning.  They are not even like the rubber horns of autos or it is a good time for the little fantasies POM POM… POM.

And looking in other states, its not clear whether who will head the Government in Maharashtra and which ministers will get to press the horn, though in AP, CM Rosaiah has left it to God. In Karnataka the Reddy brothers want the CM Yedyurappa to be replaced. They allege that he cheated people by not pressing the horn properly.

At the Center, Home Minister Chidambaram has vowed to fight the Naxalites until his death.  Did he forget the Naxalites are the bi-product of inefficient governance. It is not his work and someone tell him not to press others’ horns. It is the work of the Planning commission, PM and the Finance minister. Let them allocate enough funds and effort to develop the backward areas of the Chattisgarh.  Or is he just doing this to give away the mineral rich forest area  to the MNCs for exploitation. Oh no!

Too serious stuff, ok. Aishwarya Rai celebrates her birthday today. She too is scorpio! a Good secret keeper. and she has been stinging us with her beauty and talent. No stinging to night.  Happy Birthday and Good night.

Martyrdom if raped

The recent announcement by UP Chief Minister to give Rs. 25000 compensation to the rape victims is fundamentally flawed. It showcases the inability or unwillingness of the government to bring the accused under the law. Its like you commit the sin, I will cleanse it. It seems to be a very good scheme for the rapists.
Does Mayawati think that the rape victims will be given a hero’s welcome  at home after collecting the money from her? “Hail the great warrior, she withstood the overtures of  sex maddened animals and going to bear the pain for the rest of her life.”
How can a crime which traumatises the victim, can be undone by monetary compensation?
The anguish of the UP Congress chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi is understandable, but the words she used only leads to another controversy. This has resulted into a skirmish between the BSP and congress and the main issue is sidelined.

Rape the magic (Maya) lady, literally!

Talking about rape these days is not taboo anymore. It has to the extent became so common like the word f***.
People will start saying  “What the rape? ” instead of  “What the f***?” . ” Who the rape are you? or  The policeman would ask “why are you raping around this late in the night?”

To imply the real meaning we have to say ” we are f***ing, literally” ? “she was raped,  literally”. “I was raped, literally by the sons of ministers”. “No literal raping. violators will be  jailed for 10 years”.
Shiney ahuja would be testifying in the court -” I did not rape my maid but I f***ed with her consent and full support” . His lawyer would make a sign to him. Understanding what he missed he would add ” literally”.

Infact Shiney Ahuja should have a controlled himself for some time and gone for the magic lady with the literal and open consent from UP congress head, Rita.  The media would be delighted  to feed this Breaking news of Bollywood – politics crossover.
Rahul Gandhi  is a worried man. May be he has still in his mind the consequences of the raping around, offcourse literally, by the Indian peace keeping force  in Srilanka. He lost his father.
While Magic lady (Mayawati) is busy erecting statues for the Dalit Leaders. In which age is she?  Why do we need Statues giving us directions  when we have got GPS?  I am pretty sure if those leaders are breathing through the statues of theirs they would have already choked  by pollution to few more deaths.
A group of  mentally deranged women at meet in a mental asylum in the border of UP – Bihar and MP. Woman from Bihar says ” You know in our state a rape victim  gets Rs.10000 and pension. Other from MP says “In our state we get Rs.15000 and also pension of Rs.100 per month”. The last one says proudly, ” In UP a rape victim gets Rs.25000, medal and a photo with Mayawati”.  These women are rape victims and are getting treatment  away from the  non repentant society which victimised them.
A family is watching  news on television , A beautiful anchor says ” Honorary chief minister in function has inaugurated  her own statue and later distributed compensation  to a rape victim. She was raped by a group of party workers in local BSP office” . ” Immediately the girl says ” Dad the anchor did not say literallY! “
