THE OTHER SIDE

Asaram Bapu

Asaram Bapu is a spiritual leader lives in Ahmedabad of Gujrat State in India. He has many followers,his teachings are valuable to them,they believe in him to the extent that they consider him as equivalent to God. He has lavish ashram's in all over the country for his spiritual teachings and where he give shelter to many homeless and needy people. There are around 350 ashrams where everybody is welcome without any discrimination of race,religion and financial status according to his website. These things really present him in heavenly lights.

But there is another side of him which I would like to mention. He had to him attached so many controversies like land encroachments in Navsari district,in Madhya Pradesh,charges of attempted murder,deaths of children in his ashram,etc. These charges often termed as allegations put on him by his enemies,what is truth behind them is still under probe and it will be unfair to judge him with these charges. But what he said about Delhi Gang rape victim and then what happened during his holi celebrations recently are enough to understand his spirituality. He wasted thousands of litres of water in states where people are facing droughts,he spoke indecently about Delhi Gang rape victim and he never apologized for his actions.

A spiritual leader should think twice before speaking as his teachings influences others, one who believes that a rape victim is equally responsible for what happened to her will only teach disrespect to women among his followers. I don't know why people are so crazy about spiritual gurus,babas and other such godly people in our country, it has become a big business, babas are used politically to influence voters,they are a way to turn black money into white. Every second day there is a news about a fraud baba but still we are crazy about them. Next time if you wants a way to God search inside yourself before going to any guru or baba and the money you wants to give to them use to feed someone hungry.

Cooking Justice

People in India pray not to fall prey to hospitals and courts because once you go there your rest of life will be spent in dates given by them. You can come out of clutches of such hospitals by spending lots of money in private hospitals but for courts there is no hope. People spend there whole lifetime in jails for small thefts without being heard in courts. Some died in the course of trial without charges being probed against him/her. Forget about thousands and millions of cases pending in our courts about which we don't have any idea of there whereabouts but high profile cases like that of Babri Masjid, Mumbai Blasts of 1993, Aarushi Murder case of Ghaziabad,Gujrat Riots,2007 Hyderabad blasts,1984 Sikh riots,Bofors,Bhopal Tragedy and recently Delhi gang rape,etc.

There are so many other cases of such high value to public which are in courts since always,there is no justice in such cases,either the culprit died a natural death or remain in 5 star arrangements of Tihar Jail or any other jail in India. If any how justice comes in these cases it was so late that its effect and impact was almost zero in society and on masterminds of other such crimes. In India justice is cooked before presenting and in this process it's either remain over cooked or under cooked to be swallowed by the victim/s and others associated with them. These cases are used for political gains and thus remain alive in public domain.

But there is also an other side of it,the positive side where each one gets a fair trial and gets a chance to present his or her side to the court unlike other countries where there is no fair trial and some innocent people also get judgement which they don't deserve, but there are so many cases in Indian courts that justice tend to be delayed and thus justice delayed is justice denied. There is an urgent need for judicial makeover and this must be among manifestos of political parties for 2014 elections.

Incredible India

Incredible India!

India is incredible and there is no doubt about it,not only we believe it but the whole world is with us in this view. Since ancient times our country is a matter of interest for the universe for its uniqueness. Uniqueness in thoughts in culture,in tradition and in people of the country. Outside world was always curious to know us,we gave the concept of zero,spices,numerical systems,music and many more things to the world. They learn these things from us and developed them further but a thing we give to the world is still with us,we are admired for it throughout the world but not followed on this. The thing I am talking about is peace and non-violence.

Since the time of Gautam Buddha,we taught these concepts but all in vain. The other side of these concepts is that we are now treated as a country for salvation but not a country of reputation. We are taken as soft targets even by smaller and weaker countries like Pakistan,Srilanka,Bangladesh,Afganistan,etc. we often pardon them and want to be their best friend even when they spread terror in our country. Developed countries which depend on us for there workforce pressurise and insult us in many issues. Recently two Italian officers who killed our fishermen were ordered to leave the country and they are now not coming back to face the trial,there are many such incidents with American,British or other countries. America destroyed a whole country for killing its people by an organisation and we take life of our country men so lightly that we allowed two killers to leave the country for elections in there nation.

Its good that we are peace loving people and believes in forgiveness and reformation but this portrays us as a soft targets for criminals. Our judicial system has two many loopholes and opportunities that criminal in our country roams freely and commits crime as easily as doing any routine job. This image should be changed and judicial system should be made strong by the government,there is also a need to look at our foreign policy more seriously and project ourselves as a stronger nation to the world.

Minority

This word is very common in India. But what this means? If we look at the dictionary meaning of this word this means a small number or part esp.a number that is less than half the whole number but in social and political sphere of the country it means privileges and vote bank. Each group or community states it self as minority to enjoy special grants and reservations in various government jobs and educational institutes,some presents themselves as being exploited for being in minority, so called majority in turn accuses injustice to them in providing special treatment to minority. Also there are so many minorities in India, religious minorities,cast based minorities, region based minorities,language based minorities and so on and there are also many political and non political representatives of these minorities which fought for there cause.

My purpose for writing this article is not to become another supporter to these groups but to mention another minority which is neglected and don't even have any representative. The honest citizen of country which actually suffered a lot.

They are the people which care for nation,region,religion,family and everything else but there is no one to care for them. A honest person doesn't get a good job and if so others put difficulties in there honest functioning be it Satendra Dubey of Bihar, Zia Ul Huq of Uttar Pradesh,in education,administration ever where they all fall prey to the system who don't wants them to be loyal to there work and force them to be part of majority i.e. corrupt force. If we look at the other side of the issue lack of representation of such people is responsible for all other problems in the country today.

There is a need to think about this minority,these people don't come from somewhere else but among ourselves. I read a story in childhood which states that to be a true lover of country it is not necessary to be in the armed forces or lead the country but to do our works sincerely and honestly.If each one of us will play our part properly in any field with which we are associated honestly than there will be a majority in the country ,the majority of honest people. Think of country before yourself in any action you take.

Bomb Blasts

It's now normal in India to have bomb blasts here and there in different parts of the country,latest being held on 21st February 2013 in Hyderabad. Twin blasts in Dilsukhnagar in Hyderabad happened in spite of the inputs send by intelligence agency two days before and killed around 16 people and injured hundreds. The issue of intelligence failure is disrupting Parliament now and may be for the days to come but what other side of the issue I am concerned about is the condition of our government hospitals in which injured usually taken.

deccanchronicle image of Osmania Hospital which itself needs treatment.

Our government hospitals are themselves in a very delicate condition and are not suitable for such crises,except few they all need an operation to cure their own disabilities. These hospitals always remain occupied by patients waiting to be treated,patients there are everywhere in corridors,at entrance on beds than how they cater for such victims bombarded to them, I wonder in these blast cases those who died due to lack of medical facilities may be more than those died in blasts. After each blasts different terrorist organisations were charged with the blast charges but the government agencies responsible for conditions of our hospitals are bigger terrorists than those who plant bombs but no one is there to take responsibility and no one even blame anybody for this. Our politicians should also look in to that matter and try to improve conditions of the hospitals in their constituencies so that no body dies due to lack of medical infrastructure and facilities.

Amazing Teenage Singer

In my quest of life,I mostly roam in books or on Internet or hear people's experiences and also through television and news paper to gather information and experiences. This journey of mine is never ending and teaches me something somewhere.But the incident or situation I am sharing through this blog is felt by me in the real world and the thing what touches my heart and made me compel to write this article is voice of a teenage boy named Md. Faiz whom I met on a marriage I visited with my family. He was from a very small town and cousin to the girl whose marriage I attended.

Somebody told me that he sings very well and than everybody asked him to sing. He sang Sonu Nigam's Apna mujhe tu laga from the movie 1920 Evil Returns. He sang it so well that I wanted the song never come to an end and to keep on listening him but the situation and that gathering was not a place for that to happen as everybody was busy in something and I don't want anybody to neglect such a voice. I asked him that where he had learned singing but he told me that he learned it through watching television and listening radio,he has no professional vocal training as where he lived there are no music schools or music teacher and it is difficult for him to go somewhere else because of his studies and limited resources. Than I decided to record one of his songs and to upload this to youtube to show his talent to the world. Today after uploading this song to youtube , I decided to write this blog on him and share my thoughts about him and his voice. I request all of you to please listen his voice and give your opinion about it so that I can ensure him that he really sings well and deserves to go to heights in singing and only than I can only try to convince his family to send him here in New Delhi where he can get further training in music and may be do something in life. This is my small try for him I hope you all will join this campaign for him with me.

This song which he sings in this video is from the movie Raaz 3 , Zindagi se churake sung by Shafaqat Amanat Ali.

Aam Aadmi Party by Arvind Kejrivaal

“Aam Aadmi Party” by Arvind Kejrivaal

India Against Corruption has finally announced their political party. During this one and a half year or I should say that during the hatching period of their party there was a struggle between themselves to whether launch a party or not, what will be its purpose? How it will function? What it will look like? On all these issues they asked for public opinion through mobile sms and online voting, I think they were not wrong in doing so because you need to have the opinion of those for whom you are doing something or willing to do something but this to have limitations. Even now mobile phone is not available to everyone, secondly everyone is not an active participant in nation building.

Finally on 2^nd October 2012,they announced an unnamed party and present a draft of it to the nation, it was strange to know that they are willing to project themselves as national party but remain mum on several issues of national interest like Kashmir issue, FDI, reservation, secularism, etc which are basis of public voting since 1^st general elections. Everybody has an opinion about these issues,( everybody here means aam aadmi ) which they share in public frequently and they are discussed among the masses in public gatherings. My question arises here why they put burden back on public when they were asked about such questions? What if I asked someone about how to construct this house? And in reply to it he asked me the same question that you tell me how to construct this house? And there is a second reason to be against this thought, people here gets easily influenced and this tend to appear in what they say.

Indian public is mature enough to understand the politics better than any political analyst and is maturing day by day by the spread of education and news channels. In such a situations some bunch of people are trying to lead an aware public without showing their leadership skills. Are they believing that only anti corruption speeches and highlighting scams can mobilize the masses against such a system which is rooted even in the citizen of this nation? Is only anti privilege candidate can change the public which create temples for their leader or weigh them with gold, sweets, etc? This country actually requires a leader which make them(citizen of India) to leave their privileges for the sake of nation, who can make them realize their own mistakes and obstructions in the path of building a prosperous nation and tell them how they can be part of such prosperity.

Tragedy Of Being Mr.Rahul Gandhi.

Rahul Gandhi was always an inspiration for the congress, from ever since he had entered the politics( some people still think he should better be outside it) there were speculations that he will be the next prime minister of India.

But as time passes such speculations rises but Rahul Gandhi falls from being so. Being a politician from such a valuable family and giving such a high promises to the nation his policies,his ideology is still alien to people. Sometimes when he ate in dalit houses (who support their families with difficulty and arrange their meals with lots of efforts) he presents himself as ‘ Mesiha’ for them who will change their destiny but when there was a bill on ‘promotion in reservation’ (which his party bring in haste to divert from Coalgate) he remains quite and his views are unclear to the masses.

It appears that he his a true Gandhian of today of believes in Gandhi’s monkey philosophy but with a twist. Gandhi ‘s monkeys say never to listen bad things, never to hear bad things and never to speak bad things while Rahul Gandhi follows it as never to say anything, never to speak anything and never to hear anything. His silence on very big issues of the nation is slap on those faces who thinks to promote him as future PM. Nation is not in a position to carry another PM (like Manmohan Singh) who had sealed his lips on every issues.

Why Rahul Gandhi is in national politics? Why he project himself as future PM? Why he believes he has the power to bring a change in nation? Is to bring younger generation to politics without assigning any bigger role to them will do anything? If Rahul Gandhi by chance reads this blog please speak something about inflation or corruption or CAG or CBI or anything of national interest and in a place other than a election gathering.

Thought shrinking

World has shrunk a lot. I am not talking about the size of the earth, nor i am concern about the closeness technology had brought. I am talking about thought shrinking. It is a phenomenon developed in the course of time and not a sudden change. The thoughts of people of about 120years ago revolve around the whole world, they wanted to know other cultures other nations, other people. They do concern about the changes in the world or its necessities. Soon time changed thoughts started shrinking to the national level. National problems as a whole was main thoughts. Those countries fighting for their freedom at that time struggled for countries' freedom and liberty, national development used to be their aim. They do not bother for other nations and if do so than it would be for their nations benefit. But as i say CHANGE IS PERMANENT, it happens with the thoughts also as the human race advances in science and technology with the world thoughts too shrunk. People then raises local problems of particular area and now they think or i should say we think of ourselves. Our world shrunk to my privacy,my personal life, etc. Now people don't know the names of the person living next them. Thoughts shrinking became a problem when by thinking of ourselves we forget others, when we are not keen to know the effects of our actions an others what others think of our behaviour ,this in turn leads to another problem of not behaving well with others thus became more self centered.
Our thoughts should be big enough to incorporate the thoughts of others and to have a room for other opinion.
One should always remember that like a criminal always left behind a clue to its crime, one's thought always stays with the one it has been shared. Now its up to the person for what thoughts he wants to be remembered.
Broaden your thoughts to have others thought fit in it.

Bigg Boss is a Bigg flop

This season of bigg boss (season 5) is a flop and showing the content that is inappropriate for indian values. The behaviour of SKY against the fellow inmates is justified by the show and the hosts who don't even pointed it in the eviction episode as they did with Siddharth. Sunny Leone's profession of a porn star is celebrated in the show as if she is a soldier or a naxalite victim, the invitation to Mahesh Bhatt to offer her a film and glorify her profession which she is doing out of fun and not as a necessity is a slap to indian sentiments. What this show is promising its audience is not clear. Moreover the inmates are so dumb that they don't understand the tasks properly even after reading the instruction so many times. Bigg Boss himself showing a partial behaviour by changing the nomination rules any time which is favouring particular group of contestents. I hope there will be no next season or if it will be there it should not be a scripted one but actually a reality.

life in a metro(delhi)

It is easy to live in a metro than to think to live in it. Because when one started thinking to live in a metro say Delhi than some images will come to one's mind. The images of vehicles blocking the movement on the roads, sometimes due to rain ,sometimes for a protest march or some dharna, sometimes for rain and sometimes for just fun purpose. One also gets the images of media attacking you in every nook & corner of the city in attempt to get you views in every possible situation and in every aspect of news shaking the whole country. One also gets the images VIPs & VVIPs celebrating their arrest in the jail. There are also visuals for people roaming here and there without knowing what the are doing. Visuals of people praying for rain and when it comes cursing the civic agencies for their poor management and again praying this time for rain to stop. There are also images in the mind of scattered bodies ,flowing blood due to bomb blasts and people shivering in fear when there comes a earthquake or news for flood. So if you want to live in such place than think after spending some time and not before planning to live or even visit that place, as there are also images of people helping each other in every possible way in every negative situation. Images of brotherhood among different culture and societies and a view where there is unity in diversity.

cwg delhi 2010

Common wealth starts today

It’s a historic day in the history of Indian sports. The 19^th games starting today holds a very big meaning to India ,a country which is still thought to be a country of snake charmers by the people in the west is ready with the world class stadiums and a first ever green games in the world. The controversy surrounding the games is the result of the T.R.P. wanting news channels as the result of which many athletes backed out and world saw a very unprofessional and corrupt India rather than an intelligent and hard working country. The slight mistakes were highlighted like radium in the dark while the record holding achievements were covered with the mud of dirty news presentation. The things are all right and today world will see India in a new light.

diwali dear

dear diwali,
you came and go every year but no body understands your importance nor did you try to tell them so.Your message of giving light to every heart which remains in darkness throughout the year was unknown to everyone.I think the sound of crackers supresses the voice of diwali i.e your voice.The crackers and fireworks meant for joy by causing pollution give trouble to many who were sick or to those which don't like them.The moto of diwali is to spread sweatness to every individual wheather he was sweat to you or not.But this has became a mark of show off and those who really need something to chear up remains unattended.Dear diwali enlightened the minds of all human beings with your message of spreding sweatness and light to the hearts and souls of those who are in trouble.
