Gunda 'RAJ'
well ya i hav stolen the heading for this article from aaj tak but what can i do this is the best heading one can give to this article. Yesterday Mumbai saw the real mafiagiri on the road and public places. The goons were the member of Raj Thackre's political party MNS (maharashtra nirman sena).As per the name suggests they are supposed to do development in Maharashtra but whatever they did yesterday was really a shame to indian politics. It describes completely that how Indian politician can misuse their power.
Their was a time when politician like Mahatma Gandhi believed in peace and non-violence and now the politicians are going the other way round violence and hatred to do their work. India is the biggest democratic country so is the meaning of democracy is politicians can do anything they want. The mob actually burnt all the shops of North Indians,they attacked the taxi drivers,they boarded the trains and forced the north indians to say 'Jai maharashtra'. We have seen instances in history when muslims were thrown out of India and hindus were thrown out of Bangladesh but here west India that too only Maharashtra is standing against the North India. What they actually want to do by declaring the maharashtra great. I am an east indian and now staying in Maharashtra I myself feel from within of sayin Amchi Mumbai and Jai maharashtra but if someone force me then that feeling will die out of anger or opposition. Isn't MNS's duty is to develop Maharashtra so can't they just concentrate on their own work. I would rather say by doing this cheap deed they are just making Maharashtra look smaller. I am sure Shivaji wouldn't have ever asked for such actions. And the police they everytime say that they are there but seems like they are also helpless in front of this Mighty politicians. Why can't these politicians use their might for something fruitfull.
In such case why would even a person will like to go and vote when they know noone is better and noone can effect their lives in any way good or bad. I think Indian democracy is dieing out only because of the overgrowing power of these politicians.Why we Indian are becoming so helpless and the politicians hopeless?

How safe is India???

How safe is our country for us? This was the first question that came to my mind the very first day I actually started thinking socially.
Recently the Adnan Patrawala case has shocked everyone. A 16 years old guy was first kidnapped for ransom through orkut (a social networking site) and then was murdered when media hyped the case. And the shocking thing was he was murdered by the people who claimed to be his orkut friends. My friend has recently moved to USA for pursuing higher studies and he has this fascination of meeting orkut friends and knowing them. So after the Patrawala case I warned him not to be too frank on orkut and he replied “Don’t worry I am not in India I am in a safe country now.” This reply of his banged on my head and is still banging. A guy finding other country safer than his own? Have you ever heard that a person is safer outside than in his own home no certainly not then why we are finding an unknown country so much safer?
Recently in the news it came that a girl was molested by an auto rickshaw driver who actually drove her to the school from the very first day of nursery and suddenly after 8-9 years he turned into a devil. Can’t you in India even trust on your long trusted people?
A girl in Array colony was found missing after she left her neighbor’s place for her home. A FIR was filed but the police didn’t take any initiation the girl’s body was found in a noolah after 2-3 days. Police is still clueless about what actually had happened?
These were instances related to a particular person but a mass curfew or mass strike and then violence is very common in India. During Godhra riots I was in Gujarat but where I stayed was far from Godhra. But if there is a fire is it possible the smoke won’t come? I witnessed some incidents myself like a Muslim paint shop was put on fire, because of the paints the fire lasted for 3 whole days. We informed police but they came and started enjoying the sight as if they were satisfied of whatever was happening. And then there was a curfew for fortnight. So the conclusion actually how many Muslims got affected it was only our loss, loss of country.
Recently there were riots in siliguri, reason a whacko radio jockey commented on Prashant Tamang the Indian Idol 3. And here we go the mob back in action again. I really doubt out of so many protestors how many actually voted for Tamang. Is taking part in riots for any reason (like a star being kissed by a foreigner or elimination of a contestant from a reality show) has become a hobby in India???
Next come Railways. Yes I am a daily passenger of local trains of Mumbai and I had to make a 1st class pass because 2nd class looks like a bazaar. There are only 2 ladies compartment in most of the trains whereas about 7 are general. Isn’t general means both men and women can enter into it but the moment a female enters the general compartment (which is impossible considering the crowd) all the people in there suddenly start staring at the new female entrant. At that very moment you start thinking have u done the correct thing by entering in a general compartment? If you ask me then really general compartment is not at all safe for ladies and I really don’t know any concrete reason about my this preconceptions. And this is why all the ladies just stuff into those 2 compartments.
Recently a girl fell down from the same compartment my friend was traveling, people pulled the chain but it didn’t work. Talking about the local trains one must see CST-ANDHERI local that reaches Wadala at 8.58 people just come and stick into the train as if the train is a magnet and they are iron pieces. And India spends only 2% of its whole railway budget on safety. One is traveling comfortably in a 1st class and suddenly bombs blast everyone is clueless. While asking questions on safety in local trains answers do strike like it is impossible to start more trains as there are enough, impossible to check all the passengers. Bur still somewhere we have hope that these things may get better one day. Government is surely questioned everyday but they are too busy in either their personal fights or thinking about changing Mumbai to Shanghai an impossible dream. And in my opinion it is the high time that some youth should come forward and take the charge. I know the entire youth curse the government like me but cursing and then running away to some other country is not a solution actually. We have to come ahead though we youth don’t have any experience but we have enthusiasm and a new and fresh point of view. Till then like every Indian I am also sitting in a hope that one day India will surely become a safer place to live in.
similarly dissimilar
AM goin to talk about similar people with hell lot of dissimilarities strange isn't it but yes i have experienced this.

To start this lets start with the point where i started thinkin about it. Recently i stay in panvel, navi mumbai.As my father has a transferrable job we shifted here 3 yrs back. Before that i stayed in Mehsana,gujrat for a long period of 9 years so on every behaviour or act of mine there exists a bit gujju impact n thanks a lot that i am in a gujju college now this impact will go deeper. Well when i came here i was totally new me in a world of unknown people unfamiliar faces. As i was in 11th my tutions started before the school. Everyday i used to go to the tutions stand in the corner and think one day i will become the centre of attraction and thanks to the kind famous people on Kendriya vidyalaya panvel that they let me share there limelight. Well one day after the maths tution (of saxena aunty that tution is the worst and best tution i have ever been to worst because i really suffered a inferiority complex when i joined it and best simply because of saxena aunty who showered her unconditional love on us n yes in boards i got 97 in maths thanx a lot aunty...) we were standing outside aunty's place as usual. I was new to those people so i was standing and listening to them quitely and laughing occasionally on there jokes to impress them. Suddenly the famous lady Sweksha (now one of my most precious freind here) asked me that you are 99.9% like anyone else in dis world thats what survey says then whats in that 0.1% thats left behind my reply was in a ekta kapur way that 0.1% is my ASTITVA( searched from dictionary it means existence or entity) every single girl standing there started laughing they liked the joke i was feeling like a winner at last i succeeded to make them laugh and with that joke i was welcomed to the group of famous people. For them it was a joke for me it was a big question whats in that 0.1% n here we get similar people with hell lot of dissimilarity.

I have two freinds swetha who was there with me in mehsana and ritty who was there with me in KV panvel. These two girls are completely different from each other Swetha likes to fall in love so her theory is to forget your ex find a new guy and Ritty's theory is love is wastage of time but still i find them alike i don't know y???i call ritty swetha n vice versa. I thought a lot and found out they both have a great leadership quality and with that a quality of digesting my secrets so is these are the things except that both are south indians that make them similar may be yes or may be a big NO because many people may be having these two qualities but i don't call them Ritty or swetha. Or may be in my mind i have a place reserved for swetha where Ritty fits in totally. The problem of similar people doesn't only comes to me my mom also encounters the same problem every morning when Krishna aunty calls her n she addresses her as Tuhina aunty then she realises her mistake and rectifies it. I thought may be this similarities we get is because we are too attached to someone that we find them everywhere. but again namita in mehsana is my best freind but i never got someone like her in panvel neither i got sumone like Mohana of panvel in mehsana. In mehsana colony i was like a familiar figure so in a walk of 30 mins i used to say 60 namaste n almost 100 hellos when i walk in panvel colony i do the same. Sometimes when i see a unfamiliar figure in panvel i think i have seen the same person somewhere in mehsana who was unfamiliar to me as well so i don't think closeness or farness to someone decides the similar thing. And ya i have found for every madhura in mehsana there is a soumya in panvel,for every madhushri in mehsana there is a Pj preethi in panvel,for every pranay in mehsana there is a tarun in panvel,for every anu in mehsana there exist a laxmi rajan in panvel,for every laxmi mishra in mehsana der exists a devanshi in panvel.

So whenever i go to a new place i like to find out similar people from two different world of mine. You too sit down and think how many similar people with many dissimilarities you know but you will never find out a solid reason to tell you y are they actually similar.I am still searchin for my answers hope i get it one day.
well i knw i made this blog l0ong ago but didn't post anything now off late i m too much inspired by too many people n hence m startin my blog so this day should be considered as my first day on the bloggers world.
