Welcome to IR

I was trying hard to find my way through a small passage. Though the distance to be covered was only a few meters but it took me well above 5-10 min. Welcome to the Indian Railways sleeper compartment, especially in the land of railway minister. In trying to woo people and increasing profits this great man of the Indian history has also forgotten the basics, that to increase the productivity the bottom line must be made well furnished.
When you are sleeping fast asleep in the comforts of the leather berth swinging loosely some body would buzz like a mosquito and ask bhai saahab din me kyun so rahe hain? What the hell? This is my reserved berth, I gave the reply. So what? But when I saw that every person who were in their deep slumber has woken up and are crouching at the corner of their berth, I felt it would be better if I also follow suit. So did I . I had quite a few similar experiences, so now first of all I check out I can get enough support from the fellow travelers who have valid reserved tickets.
During one of my travel from Mughalsaray to katihar I boarded rather made my way till my berth and as usual found it occupied. I sternly asked them to vacate my seat. The guy says let the train move then soon I will get away, till then just adjust. I thought these words should be spoken by me at this time. But still! I replied , no adjustment dear just leave. Now I settled in my berth, but just to show some pity I offered him one eighth corner of my seat which after some time creped to one fourth then one third. Hey! I said: you remember this is my seat and I am not getting any place to adjust my butt even. Take care of these situations also Mr Railway minister.

T.I.M.E. TRAUMA

I recall an year and half ago when I thought that billi ke gale me ghanti baandhna is easy but it has turned out to be really queasy. I used to laugh when people said it's difficult,but now I can see all those wide bow like lips laughing back at me.kabhi kabhi sochtaa huun ki itne cheez ko discover karne ko to so called scientisto ne kar diya par un sab ki sazaa hame jhelni pad rahi hai.
You see all-around you will see that course books hit you like magazines and magazines are already named so. DI seems to be Death interpretation and RC are really callous. And each wednesday reminds, hey! you have topped .....but from bottom.
pata nahi kya kewal meri hai ye kahaani.Samay hai kam ,kaam hai jyaada and DI is again haunting from back so I stop here itself.

Quota for Other (than) Bhartiya Castes

The decision of the government to pass the bill without seeking the opinion of the masses and without proper debate shows its appeasement policy. The other parties as well are equally responsible for this ensuing debacle of the education system. Some parties though reiterate that there should not be anyappeasement butthey can be seen pursuing their vote bank politics when they helped to pass the bill unanimously.To see the pros and cons of the decision we need to get to the past i.e. the Mandal commission . It was adopted in 1989 which led to such a furor that the then Prime minister Mr. Vishwanath Pratap Singh had to resign, but he had already given the blow. The integrity of the report can not be doubted as the so called lower caste people have not developed as some of the upper caste people. But this never suggests that in order to equalize every body we should cut the head of some people and provide a screw jack below the ass of others. Unfortunately this is exactly what is being done. Also after so many years of the of reservation policy much change has not been seen in the overall condition and the mentality has detoriated as if the reservation is their birthright.
This should also bring to the politicians' mind that there is some inherent flaw in there policy as regard to the development of the society (though not in their personal benefits in terms of vote bank) The preamble also clearly mentions that there should be equality of opportunity and not that some body should be given advantage over others.When Dr. Ambedkar accepted the Simon Commission decision regarding the reservations for the SC/ST in Pune pact, Mahatma Gandhi showed his dissent saying it would widen the gap between the upper caste and the lower caste people. This is exactly what can be seen in the present scenario. This can be seen in all the places where such discriminations are made. The Mandal Commission was adopted by full measures in the Colleges under State Government and there we can see a clear divide between the different castes. The students are divided in various factions as FC/BC/OBC etc.After the Mandal Commission II was adopted a major change can be observed among students of the other elite colleges which are to come under the purview. The change is : The students are now trying to identify the OBCs and non OBCs. In my opinion this was bound to happen under such circumstances.The other demand put forward is the reservations in the private enterprises. I am at a fault to understand that how do we plan to see India shining and have a double digit growth with such ridiculous ideas.
Now, the propellers of the reservation policy would contend about the social duties. The answer is pretty clear, if at all you want to bring equality to the society take care of the people below the poverty level. They may be upper caste or lower caste or any body but for God sake do not curb the intelligent and deserving candidates only because they do not belong to the lower caste.Many people then also contend that, in the past the backward caste people have been treated badly. So what do you want now? You want to avenge those maltreatment from the generation who is broad minded and tries to weigh everybody equally. Some of the actions taken is praise worthy as to allow the SC/ST students to prepare for the IITJEE exam under the guidance of the Professors of the institute itself but again there is no justification of curbing the merit.

2nd stint TAKE 1 LAGE RAHO SAJJAN BHAI

Saw Munnabhai part 2. The movie is a good comedy if you try hard to laugh. What ever be the future of the movie but the trailor had depicted the essence i.e. gandhigiri.It was really a peaceful way to bore any body.You have paid so you can not go outof the theatre believing against belief that the movie will have some twist. Arshad Warsi the main actor in the Munnabhai part1 had too little a role. So the medhak wali aankh ka( Hulchal yadi dekhe ho to) banda could not deliver. Overall much ado about nothing
