First time in my life, I watched sports live in a stadium. I am not going to write that I have to walk 5-6 Km to get inside the stadium. I will not crib that there were no dustbins placed outside stadium for entire walk of 5 Km. I will not complain that there were lots of garb outside eating joints and not properly managed. i will rather share my happy moment inside the stadium.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I did not anticipated about huge crowd and long walk so I reached 20 min late inside stadium from schedule time 5.30 pm. While I was passing through 2-3 layers of security check (lost Rs. 6 worth coin as coins were not allowed inside stadium :P ), there were huge roar coming out from stadium. At that time, I just wanted to get inside and was angry on police men for such tight security (though it was necessary and police were quite cooperative) . Finally I reached inside !!!!!!!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stadium - What a beauty !!! Huge, Lovely, Awsome, Fantabulous ............ by 7 o clock stadium was packed and only sad part that VIP and high price ticket galaries were not fully occupied. but nevetheless, for a capacity of 60,000 crowd and if 50,000 spectators were there to watch athletics. It was great for CWG, despite not many people know the rules of events like high jump, discus throw, long jump, etc etc. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Simultaneously, many events were going on... apart from various kind of race, there were high jump (women), Long jump (women) and Men's discuss throw !!! Luckily in all three non-racing events, Indian players were participating. Whenever an Indian player came to do his bit, Sound of cheer for the player probably could be heard well outside the stadium. The atmosphere was not electrifying throughout but whenever Indian palyers came into the scene it was not less than a cricket match. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">About stadium infra, I first time saw a camera mounted on rail track covering the running events. there was a small robot car, ferrying the disc of discus throw. there was one camera hanging on a rope and shotting from top of the stadium. Two giant screen were showing miniature details of sports... the green grass and light red color track was kind of ' "Sone pe Suhaga" ...Only missing items were that there were no DJ, no Drums, no loud music ... at the end of day, India got two silvers in athletics one in discus throw by Vikas gowda and one in women's long jump. there was one Indian girl who competed in 800 m race (heat round 3), the crowd appreciated her most as from the first step, she maintained her lead till the end of 800 meter and made her entry into finals of that event.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Good things about spectators that they stood up whenever there was anthem song of gold medal winning country's were played. My friend Rahul's father still have the tickets of Asiad games held in delhi, I am also going to preserve my ticket !!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While coming out of stadium, I was saying to Rahul that India has won mostly medals in those events which you can related with fight (ladai-jhagda) like shooting, boxing, wrestling than Rahul said what Gandhiji might be thinking that he wanted our country as peace loving country and we are winning medal in events which you can't relate with peace and we laughed !!! Never mind, as these are just games and good to see that Indian sports person are getting recognition otherwise except cricket you dont know the name of sports persons.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I could not get hockey match's ticket but watched last 7-8 min match outside the stadium on giant screen and when final whistle blown, huge cheer for India !!!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>GKKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666170864477573442noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027308839397650564.post-89780541053550090152010-08-31T19:45:00.004+05:302010-08-31T20:45:52.992+05:30Journey with a GermanOn Sunday evening (29th Aug), I was traveling from jaipur to gurgaon by train in the evening. in my compartment a german born austrian resident was sitting. as only angrej in the compartment, every passerby passengers were staring him. before i start my story, let me take you through what happened in my home town 8-10 days back.<br /><br />There were college election in rajgarh college, some students attacked DSP, Kotwal of police deptt. three of them were seriously injured and admitted to hospitals in jaipur. Police arrested 19 students (according to unconfirmed news mostly were not students, they were part of group). All students belonged to one particular community, very dominated in my area and nearby. So one of the tallest leader of that community, and sitting MP ( not from my constituency) came to Rajgarh and protested against police. They sat on dharna on Railway tracks on the same date i was travelling.<br /><br />so come back to angrej story.. Train stopped at Bandikui Rly Station (30 km from my hometown). Now this german guy stepped out of train and was wondering why train stopped. I went to him, smiled and then told that there are some technical issues with tracks. After that we started some general conversation as I also getting bored. after 30 min he asked again what's exact problem. so I described like this<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">me</span> : there are some political protest by students and they are sitting on tracks, not allowing trains to pass through. this kind of protest are very common and probably are not good sign of democracy.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Angrej</span> : really, in Europe, we have to give advance notice for protest and we are not allowed to stop the public transport. But I think you have more freedom here that you can raise your voice. I also believe that there are problem employment and poverty. I have read that after 60 years of independence Indian government is not able to solve this problem. People lives in hell situation.<br /><br />this discussion went on, I took balanced approach. Train was still at bandikui station. we both got tired and went inside our compartment. and some further discussion from politics to caste, society, corruption etc...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">me:</span> how strong is family and marriage as an institution for you or in Europe.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Angrej</span>: my family members are like my friend. I took advices from them but it is upto me to take it or not. I am not dependent on them. we all sat together and dine. during my childhood, my mom used to stop me where i am going and with whom.. but not now.. its not necessary for me to get married for having child. but there is a catch as pregnancy case on rise at earlier age. a child is becoming parent, bad for our society. I think we need to correct this situation.. What about you??<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: family are utmost important for us, We take family's permission and suggestion for a big decision. though in large city area where intellectual people are more they opt for nuclear family... trying to adopt european culture.. for a normal indian, its tough to get marry with a girl of his choice.. family has to accept that.. but now things are changing..<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">angrej</span>: why you are saying that people are attracting towards european culture.. is it bad? people should have independence.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: there is nothing wrong with your system because its working for you.. but it cant be for us.. if we try to inculcate the european culture.. neither we will be european nor indian.. he laughed and same me...<br />some futher discussion on those line than shifted to Asian countries and their power.. by this time we spent two and half hour at Bandikui Rly Station. finally train started...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: I dont perceive pakistan as a threat to our nation but definitely from China.. Thanks God we have nuke weapons, which we called as weapon of peace.. Due to that we have peace on our borders.. But china got guts and any day they can encroach upon us. No europe and US can stop them..<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Angrej </span>: got some josh, you think nukes are good, my country doesnt have. but we are doing fine...you think that china can come and drop bomb on you, its a global era.. European and US will step forward and will stop anyway this kind of situation.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">me:</span> China has got more than 1 trillion USD on USA. think how much power they have.. I dont think Europe have got that power to oust China..China is causing petty troubles daily. but not direct confrontation due to the fact that we also got some nukes.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Angrej:</span> its crazy man, why you think that.. whats the need of this..<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">me:</span> During Indira Gandhi's first instinct as PM, we had to face shortage of food grains.. not many countries came forward to help. We didnt have good relation (not even normal) with USA. after the first bomb test, world took us seriously. and our situation improved after 1998 bomb test.. and after that we have never looked back. Every country want to have business and political relations with us. which was not a condition prior to that.. Though we are IT Superpower.. but bomb test opened the gate for us...<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Angrej</span>: (got more crazy after listening to me) let me tell you the fact, We European have purely business relation with India. do you think that we are interested in 100% indian population. Europe doesnt care about 95% of indian population. They are only interested in 5% of population. which have enough money to buy are product...<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: Dont worry they will be interested in 100%, we are on the verge to become developed nation. whatever may be the reason, Indian voices are being heard globally. Thats more than satisfactory for me..<br /><br />My destination arrived, I shook hand with him ( we didnt ask each other's name) and told that Earth is round, we will meet again somewhere................GKKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666170864477573442noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027308839397650564.post-58427941932863018662009-12-16T04:18:00.003+05:302009-12-16T04:35:12.716+05:30My journey with technologyRecently some of tweeple junta was putting forward their views about windows 7. I was thinking how quickly technology is changing. It has been 10 years since I started using a desktop computer. It was during my first year of engineering (1999) when I first hold the mouse. It was a Windows 95 operating system. Starting few months we didn't go to computer centre due to ragging. So only after diwali I used computers. My classmate Avinash shaw helped me to create my first e-mail id on yahoo. It took around 1 hr as net speed was too slow at that time. Though majority of students learned basic of computers during their school but our case was different. Most of Rajasthan board Hindi medium students saw PC in Engg College only.<br />Both Windows 95 and Windows 98 were used along with unix also. During my four year stint in Engg College I saw many OS like windows millennia edition, windows 2000, Windows NT but I liked windows 98 most. We also used Netscape navigator for browsing purpose also, probably it's not used today. There were few students in my class, who knows in and out of OS and PC very well. In fact those guys helped a lot to maintain our department lab and computer centre.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">During second year we became addicted to chatting. Yahoo chat room was commonly used among students. My friend Gaurav goyal (naam rashi :) was the guy who spent time on chatting more than any of us. We made many fake profiles and entered in different-2 chat room. It was good experience. Chatting with friends happened after college only as my other friends were not in touch with computers.<br />By the time we entered in third year, a few of my friends bought personal computer in hostel rooms. We didn't have LAN in hostel at that time so computer were used to watch movies only. We used to see movie in group with lot of hulla gulla. Slowly-2 people shifted to Windows XP as we are mastered in copying the OS without paying. If I am correct, XP ran quite longer time compare to other previous OS. At the end of third year (2001-02), mobile services started in jaipur by BSNL. A few of my friends bought mobile phone in final year and most common use of mobile were SMSing as initially BSNL kept SMS free and call rates were exorbitantly high. Due to this free SMS and congestion, if someone sent a SMS - 'coming for lunch' that used to deliver after finishing the lunch. Due to this problem they started charging SMS. Digital cameras were also not common at that time, so most of friends have that reel based camera.<br />In my company I used laptop (HP-Compaq) first time and bought my first mobile in Dec 2003. After college, social networking sites became new theme. I joined orkut quite late as internet uses were restricted in my organization. Due to non-availability of softcopy of my college day's pics I couldn't upload those pics on orkut. It's quite tough to connect all of your batch mates after college. I have connected many of my class mates but still some are off the radar. Suddenly yahoo chat disappeared and gmail rocked the world.<br />A rapid change has happened during last one and half year in IIMK. I addicted to twitter and facebook. Made profile on number of social networking sites. Working on Windows vista on my own laptop though I found vista is worst OS so far. It's going to be exciting as technology changing at very fast rate. I will try to keep abreast of latest technology now on.<br /><br /></div>GKKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666170864477573442noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027308839397650564.post-18196847696764668742009-10-03T16:42:00.003+05:302009-10-03T16:53:18.593+05:30Mumbai or Bombay? What's in the name?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeY_7i5T2VjINAqmK2DklyEEnJaqV-fwHGi9r7fbmQjwd7C4ukSaWXe19G1uBClo4_MOHCtSf0llUX8aF3wYrvfUjnYS-Ew-zgb1l7D-lmrANUnUaFc8JUEuPhObNrCEOCtP93g-YKqoUT/s1600-h/mumbaiglimpse.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 176px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeY_7i5T2VjINAqmK2DklyEEnJaqV-fwHGi9r7fbmQjwd7C4ukSaWXe19G1uBClo4_MOHCtSf0llUX8aF3wYrvfUjnYS-Ew-zgb1l7D-lmrANUnUaFc8JUEuPhObNrCEOCtP93g-YKqoUT/s320/mumbaiglimpse.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388331415230806530" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">“Ae dil hai mushkil jeena yaha jara hat kar jara bach kar yeh hai bambai meri jaan” A song from old hindi classic ‘CID’ which and many other song depicts the true character of the city. I have to take care of now as I can’t sing this song in my country, because there is no city in India named as ‘BOMBAY’. Recently released ‘Wake up Sid’ has entangled in the controversy over using Bombay 12 times in movie instead of Mumbai. Producers have done the biggest sin on the earth. Biggest surprise was the way the producer has repented by apologizing to the self proclaimed GOD of Marathis.<br />After 62 years of Independence, What kind of law and order situation prevails in our country, I am pointless. If someone has any problem with the use of word ‘Bombay’ than there is police and court to report that objection but as they are the self posted whole sole leader of Marathis, their ego hurts if they go to police and court, according to them it should be other way round.<br />From the K-Jo’s and Film unit’s point of view, if there movie screening has been installed than they should have gone to police. But they choose the safest option to drive through the residence of chief. Producer apologized to him, God became happy as it shows the strong position they hold in the state.<br />Why there is so much fuss about name of the city? Are we not confident that if we continue with the name given by angrej to city, our culture/patriotism will vanish? Ok, now the name has changed, but is there any rule or ban by law not to use old name, than change the name of IIT BOMBAY, IIT MADRAS and many other.<br />Though, it’s true that we should not hurt the sentiments of masses especially this theory apply to the public figure but what about freedom of expression? Next time each producer should have a special screening before release to these powerful people, and should secure their blessing. Otherwise it is tough to run their show.<br />If someone wants to start political career in my state Rajasthan, what should be his/her entry strategy. They should invoke sentiments of masses. There is one trap in Rajasthan; there are different dialects in Rajasthan – Hadauti, Shekhawati, Marwari, Mewari etc. So based on language the invoking sentiments will be tough task. So what can be other point?<br /></div>GKKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666170864477573442noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027308839397650564.post-43647234101996175442009-07-12T19:57:00.008+05:302009-07-12T22:10:19.098+05:30A Visionary Leader - We need you a lot<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UFICqcg2atzAzpVWvjFQYEPfcosNzvcLtTFP0km9gBV5Kkw1jtIHh3dBUtkw7vbSfm_5XBwNCd8E9l1tauIz6hFkZcAQplk2UzuQtwsYgVckiSlS-bWxvGds0APg9Cwpl-gh_M0Zsj__/s1600-h/2008120254091901.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 204px; height: 264px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UFICqcg2atzAzpVWvjFQYEPfcosNzvcLtTFP0km9gBV5Kkw1jtIHh3dBUtkw7vbSfm_5XBwNCd8E9l1tauIz6hFkZcAQplk2UzuQtwsYgVckiSlS-bWxvGds0APg9Cwpl-gh_M0Zsj__/s320/2008120254091901.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357613529713561986" /></a><br /><div align="justify">One of my role model Mr. E Sreedharan, Padma Vibhushan, Chief of Delhi Metro has resigned today. Today is a sad day for delhi for two reason. first it was third mishap on delhi metro since its inception caused five casualty so far and second due to resignation of Mr Sreedharan. </div><div align="justify"><br />At the age of 77, he is serving for people of this country. As far as I know, he has done a gr8 job in developing Konkan Railways and Delhi metro against all odds. In India where bureaucratic hurdles delays each project, he has shown that a world class infrastructure can be developed in our country. We are not entitled to be called as third world country. </div><div align="justify"><br />Having worked closely with government department I know how a project complets and reach its end. I am not sure but when government started Delhi metro project way back in late nineties, they approached mr E sreedharan. I heard that he put some conditions that he should be given free hand in all area of metro functioning, no bureaucratic hurdles, no political interfere and result is in front of us.<br /><br />He has shown to the our fellow countrymen as well as other countries that we Indians are not behind other countries। At this age, he deserve a great accolade। He has resigned because DMRC is famous for its safety record and today five labour died in the mishap. He shouldnt have given the resign because it is fault of some other officers in charge but he has taken its moral responsibility. No beaureaucrat has that much courage to do so. They always play safe. </div><div align="justify"><br />He could give us metro because he has courage, dedication and vision. If delhi govt. accepts his resignation, I am pretty sure that DMRC will not be able to complete its task in time. Compare it with Bangalore metro a project with hell lot of chaos. I mentioned in one of my previous blog that why we cant find a man out of 1.1 billion population who is comparable to Mr E sreedharan. </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">I think delhi junta should come forward and ask him to carry out responsibilities till commonwealth games. as far as I concern, I have full faith only in him to finish the project not in any other officer/bureaucrat.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"> </div>GKKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666170864477573442noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027308839397650564.post-74763346442985532872009-06-10T15:51:00.004+05:302009-06-10T16:00:00.185+05:30First year at IIM Kozhikode<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmEYRYy2_DlCKsNbweEnKCgBmY4Uxt1x4W6eUHTTESnchSs9h2Po_CuBaQsnKTYozSOFCJJiApOu82tSg8BB7y8tel5XcDrDmcWLraLlNN6wJ0a7XKsDtHYy2GGxHpuR6M9behzqTBLfhb/s1600-h/11.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmEYRYy2_DlCKsNbweEnKCgBmY4Uxt1x4W6eUHTTESnchSs9h2Po_CuBaQsnKTYozSOFCJJiApOu82tSg8BB7y8tel5XcDrDmcWLraLlNN6wJ0a7XKsDtHYy2GGxHpuR6M9behzqTBLfhb/s320/11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345643993436919922" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;">IIM K Kampus</span>

<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I have completed one year in IIM K. It has been great learning experience so far. It’s just not academics but overall exposure which was entirely new for me. Due to recession, sometimes I used to think whether I have made right choice to leave a reputed government job. But when I look back I feel that I have made very much correct decision. <span style=""> </span>Prior to IIM life I had monotonous job, daily going to office, doing same job for more than 4 years and came back to room in the evening. It’s very difficult to conclude what I have achieved in last one year in B-School. One thing which I found unique in B-school especially in IIMs that your colleagues in institute are not from common set of people, they have different age group, different education background and work experience. Compare to my engineering college everything I find here is extraordinary whether classroom or hostels, facilities and infrastructure. I feel very proud studying here in such a healthy environment after doing my schooling in typical government schools. Teaching methodologies are very much in contrast with engg college. Class participation gives us so much power to share our ideas with professors which were missing in my graduate college. I feel that my communication skills have improved slightly and become more confident in speaking to others. Hope this learning curve will steep rise further. My performance in academics is below my expectations, it’s improving but not same as during engineering days. I am trying hard and not disappointed. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Cooperation among students are amazing, those who know a subject better never hesitate to share their knowledge with others. Internet especially IP messenger is life line at K. Festivals are being celebrated with full josh and vigour here. My days at K have made me very flexible in terms of sleeping; I can manage with 3 hour sleep and also can go on for more than 10 hour. I have started running first time in my life (coz gained some weight). <span style=""> </span>Studying in library was new for me as we didn’t go to our engg library except for book collection. Parties at K are best across the campuses. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Still lot to do, would like to participate and win some competition.<span style=""> </span>Hopefully I will utilize my remaining 283 days in my college. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" face="arial" style="text-align: justify; font-family: georgia;"></p>GKKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666170864477573442noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027308839397650564.post-37225931291591891502009-05-22T00:12:00.004+05:302009-05-22T22:03:29.626+05:30Challenges for new government : Foreign Policy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioT4e1KLn8BrDv5qM5zJy5XGxiuP_osRn9uAQ8KOZfzj3hOPq6830YsbpL7FnvGqn9mEW-61y8w87lpDb2QWfYoU3QxSo9zwoT1b2-ghjg4ZF5oarNLRHkL4qXEk7ZaFb0jV96qB8Ab67p/s1600-h/foreign+policy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 262px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioT4e1KLn8BrDv5qM5zJy5XGxiuP_osRn9uAQ8KOZfzj3hOPq6830YsbpL7FnvGqn9mEW-61y8w87lpDb2QWfYoU3QxSo9zwoT1b2-ghjg4ZF5oarNLRHkL4qXEk7ZaFb0jV96qB8Ab67p/s320/foreign+policy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338357232944184674" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">India is euphoric about thumping victory of UPA for its clean sweep. Most of people are happy as Left is left out and government will functioning without any hindrance. Even bulls returned in stock market with a bang. But as the dawn settle before PM swearing, there are few immediate challenges which India government have to take care according to my understanding.<br />Over the years our relations with neighboring country have been sour. Each neighbour is facing problem in its turf.<br />a) Pakistan: Most unstable country in the region is a new democracy, where is fight going on in order to save democracy. US has dropped Indian concern while giving billion dollar annual aid. It will be tough for Indian diplomats to keep a good rapport with Obama administration. We are not able to exert pressure on Pakistan regarding 26/11 attacks.<br />b) Nepal: Only Hindu country in the past and a new democracy. Only good things happened there that maoist has renounced the violence and now they are in main stream. But problem is the increasing relation with China and Nepal. Recent removal of Nepal Army Chief controversy has done a damage to indian foreign diplomacy. At least we should have the best relation with this tiny Himalayan country.<br />c) Sri Lanka: Aftermath of LTTE fall, onus is on India to take care of ethnic Tamil issues. India should look that these srilankan tamilians get honorable citizenship, equal rights and resources. These people should become the part of main stream as divide between singhalies and Tamilians are mammoth.<br />d) Bangladesh: The country which was created by us is creating problem. The terror camp, support to ULFA, the refugees problem, water sharing are the important area of concern.<br />e) Afghanistan: Though India have strong relation with this country. As taliban is emerging again, we should continue cooperate with Mr Hamid Karzai government. Its an important nation for our foreign policy.<br /><br />Other than that relation with USA, China, EU and Russia will be interesting to watch.<br /><br />Road ahead is full of thorn. It will be interesting to see How Indian government reacts to these issues in next 100 days.<br /><br />All the best to new government.<br /></div>GKKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666170864477573442noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027308839397650564.post-3736769149541792112009-05-16T19:04:00.004+05:302009-05-16T19:46:38.978+05:30Democracy Won<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOlyWjkF5Ea3W5vd9wikxB3HBC5nU9AqQUnvJGWJDfso47bFX8TFuSyBNQIJ7AwYxJOjLwrQ5FT7kyRHv9CayMo2WQ8eErGrm6OKsthBX2D3a1XsEE-q0P93If2ir3mpM86k7hPLq6WCnb/s1600-h/indian-parliament_5158_200x150.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOlyWjkF5Ea3W5vd9wikxB3HBC5nU9AqQUnvJGWJDfso47bFX8TFuSyBNQIJ7AwYxJOjLwrQ5FT7kyRHv9CayMo2WQ8eErGrm6OKsthBX2D3a1XsEE-q0P93If2ir3mpM86k7hPLq6WCnb/s320/indian-parliament_5158_200x150.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336415241835733906" border="0" /></a>

justify;">2009 Parliamentary election results are unexpected beating all exit polls regarding fractured mandate. <span style=""> </span>Most positive aspect of these results is that we will have a stable government at centre which will work for full five year with less pressure from its allies compare to last term. Congress has gained seats in J&K, Kerala, Rajasthan and Arunachal Pradesh (All four corners of countries). This year’s parliamentary and 3 assembly elections have turned down the anti-incumbency factor. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">But I still feel that local issues have driven the results. In case of left ruled state, due to their internal fight, non-performance; they have lost the plot. In AP, YSR’s populist schemes have worked. At the same time in Bihar, People have given vote to JD(U) led front due to its development policies. Gujarat also has given verdict on state development issues. Delhi is again another strong example of development. <span style=""> </span>In Karnataka, people have retained their faith in BJP; probably they will wait how this new government lead by Mr. Yedurappa performs. As they have seen the poor rule by JD(S). Chattisgarh also Mr Raman Singh performed based on expectation. There was little anti incumbency in Madhya Pradesh but Mr Shivraj Singh has not lost his ground. <span style=""> </span>Punjab the Singh factor worked and also at certain extent state government has not worked well. Tamilnadu the populist measures by DMK (1 Rs Kg Rice, free power etc.) has tremendously helped them to retain their last time figures. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Only puzzle for me are Rajasthan, UP and Uttranchal. First let’s talk about Uttarakhand which is ruled by Mr Khanduri. Who was Road & transport minister in Vajpayee government. His records were impeccable. Despite his clean image, BJP lost all seats. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Rajasthan has always seen the anti government in centre compare to state government but this time both state and centre government will be ruled by same party. So hope to see some development in my state. But here development card didn’t work. Despite the hard work put by Vasundhara government they lost assembly polls some time back and now a shameful defeat in loksabha. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">UP the largest state in terms of seats have voted against current mismanaged state government, but they have not given a clear cut verdict to a party. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Point I am trying to make is that there was no national issues in these elections. The verdict shows that who have won the election, has won based on local/state issues. And there the NDA missed the trick. I am not a political analyst but from my understanding I could figure out it.
<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

Everybody is claiming to make their government. Who will be able to make will be known only on 16th may. As indications and media reports suggests (it may change also) that no group will be able to make government on their own. So there will be lot of poaching of small player/parties. Politics has touched its rock bottom where parties are willing to welcome any party to form the government without synchronous in their philosophy. But one more thing there are few parties who works on ideology otherwise most of the parties are opportunistic. They will support the side which they feel to have power to form government.<br /><br />So this time each small tiny player will have power to run the government. When such kind of government forms it is called in our local language ‘jugaad’. The so called coalition dharma will act as hindrance to development because government can’t take hard bold decision as they have to save their government. In order to appease the small player and other coalition member, they forget the path of development and wellbeing of aam aadmi.<br /><br />The problem which I see is the regionalism; we forget the larger issue of country. While giving vote for MPs we forget that these votes are about country. We entangled in local issues rather than focussing on national issues. State and municipal elections are for local issues but parliamentary elections are national election. In my opinion we should vote for a government which can make a strong and stable government at center based on national and international issues.<br /><br />I hope over the years people will raise above the caste and regional issues; they will vote for development. Ummeed per duniyaa kaayam hai.<br

appreciate my observation. The moment aircraft lends at the air strip, passenger loosens their seat belts, open the cabin box to take out their luggage and stand in the queue (including me). They will stand in the queue for next 10 minutes because it will take some time to park the plane in parking bay and then stairs will come in next few minutes. And the scene inside the aircraft become so chaotic, you can’t say these people are highly educated and professional persons. In my opinion it will take same time if you keep sitting in your seats and disembark one by one. But one passenger will start initially and soon everybody will follow it.

I have seen many people wasting water while brushing and shaving. Despite advertising on TV and other medium regarding efficient use of water, people show irresponsibility. Same can be seen in terms of usage of electricity. In offices because one doesn’t need to pay the electricity charges so they don’t take care of electricity that when they are not in the room switch off some lights. College hostels, Government accommodation (where light charges are fixed) have same kind of problem. If same set of people including me live in some private apartments where they have to pay the bill they will use electricity as precious commodity. <span style=""> </span>Why such kind of differences in their approaches is out of my understanding.

Nothing much has changed in Bangalore for last six years. Except some more swanky malls, work of metro at snail's pace.<br /><br />I have visited almost all major metros of India except Chennai. This city is famous for pubs, trees n beautiful roads. I can say honestly that Bangalore is not the place where you would like to stay forever at least for me. Despite earning so much respect from outside India as an IT Hub, city is not upto that world class standard.<br /><br />Autowalas are biggest hurdle in this city, they are not honest (waise aajkal koi bhi honest nahi hai). They charge enormously huge amount. In day time, if you go by meter they will say meter plus 10 rupees. You fix your journey in 50 rupees, sit inside again he will ask 60 rupees, you get down than only he will agree on 50 rupees, like that. Their meters don't work properly. It's pathetic and frustrating. One suggestion (sit in an auto which has digital meter :).<br /><br />Metro work, what a speed of this work compare to Delhi metro. Some time I used to frustrate why we have just one E Sreedharan among one billion Indian. Why can't we find persons alike him who can run the show on his own term with honesty, dedication and vision. In the roads, B'lore metro has taken more space compare to Delhi metro (in terms of width). Why there is no proper knowledge management by which best practices can be shared. Delhi metro prepare side road first than start work in the middle of road. Just check the indira nagar, the road is in decrepit condition. Half of workers use hat instead of yellow helmet. I don't know which norms they are using. But this work has damaged the beauty of MG road.<br /><br />Public transport- Bangalore is lucky to have many swanky new look Volvo AC buses. Other than that Ashok Leyland's high end buses are frequent. But fare charges are enormously high. For 3 kilometer distance charges are 8-10 rupees. Fare charges are random in nature. But mostly buses are big in size they can learn a lesson from Delhi by using RTVs for narrow roads.<br /><br />Note: I am sorry if this hurts b'lore fan and also not favouring Delhi. Each city has its own set of problems. So dil pe mat lena yaaro<br /><br

I was walking through lalbagh road in Bangalore along with rahul sagar & gaurav gupta. We were looking for bikes in Honda/Yamaha showrooms. We suddenly saw a lot of hustle and bustle nearby Tata show room. So we went inside the showroom to have a look on people’s car, Indian innovation ‘NANO’. There was just one top-end model and people were coming in to have an idea about this miracle. This has shattered all western media that Indian’s have developed a $2000 car. Not able to understand Indian brain they are pointing out about its safety, some pollution norms etc. But whatever I saw inside the showroom, it’s my feeling that this car is here to stay. Let me talk about my first hand experience about this car though I don’t know about driving a four wheeler (some time back I drove tractor a lot, don’t know how difficult is to drive a car). As most of us have read about its inner space and it is true to its words, despite nano it got lot of inner space to sit comfortably unlike folding your legs. From management’s perspective it’s an epitome of efficient cost cutting. I didn’t like the seats in first look but they were equally comfortable as other cars. Outer design is excellent; they have given lot of attention to ergonomics. <span style=""> </span>I also took a chance to sit inside; my first feeling was like that I was touching everything to see that is it a plastic body or some cheap material. Even that button (door lock) was like kitchkida (some type of plastic in our local language).<span style=""> </span>There were some children taking photos of this car as it is Rolls Royce and why not they were feeling proud to have a photo with nano and so me. After spending 15-20 minutes we came out. I was also feeling like, today I have achieved something, my day is very fruitful. I wish every body will get his/her dream car whether its a nano or city. </div>GKKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666170864477573442noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027308839397650564.post-25593993469278907022009-03-30T02:08:00.001+05:302009-04-16T02:31:38.266+05:30Friends Forever<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBB4qHhd9My8o6U4YTX8vp4c_igz83D0q7vcsOERET2rI050I4B41NJmSDEMF4r9FOlIB4RFdsJnf_1pCHTkHNtswzQEnLCXPGQWE4GKkbU88941eFupwh_MkLGQM5_HiUbuxSNON1S5j0/s1600-h/ece+batch.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 228px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBB4qHhd9My8o6U4YTX8vp4c_igz83D0q7vcsOERET2rI050I4B41NJmSDEMF4r9FOlIB4RFdsJnf_1pCHTkHNtswzQEnLCXPGQWE4GKkbU88941eFupwh_MkLGQM5_HiUbuxSNON1S5j0/s320/ece+batch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318713150708238946" border="0" /></a> ECE BATCH 2003- MNIT, Jaipur<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:130%;" >29th<sup> </sup>march was very eventful day for me. I am lucky to have so many good friends(touchwood !) and when friends remember me, I feel great. One of my close friends with whom I shared an unusual chemistry during my college days called me from US after a gap of 3 year. But nothing changed after a gap; I feel like, I have talked to him some time back; I could recognize his voice immediately. I would have talked to him for long but due to this exams pressure in MBA College............... but it was very sweet to talk to him because they are people who know me really well. I really cherish all those old memories with him. But this is not the only reason that makes this date special; I received two calls from my other friends and had a long gap shap with them. And in the last to my great surprise, one of my classmates pinged me, first time after MNIT days. I never thought in my vague imagination that one day she will contact me. She was very good friend during first year. But they say, it’s never the late. So this is what I feel I had a great day after a long time. I am really missing you guys, those old days we spent together, hope to catch you all in near future.</span></div>GKKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666170864477573442noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027308839397650564.post-3763164959117479232009-03-04T03:26:00.001+05:302009-04-18T15:33:49.503+05:30Broken Heart<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOBoRnLUanNLXJg3emnm6DanlwpKvC6VSnn0qzhORZevsEhoP9yPCDqtVK0_vSgnltgsoXnX2L3mP2qrxbR6NUboM5CP0Pgx0-owAAEX5dWQHffopIb9Zunv9ypPYyr8gYZen0sVpxOja/s1600-h/Ayesha+Takia.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOBoRnLUanNLXJg3emnm6DanlwpKvC6VSnn0qzhORZevsEhoP9yPCDqtVK0_vSgnltgsoXnX2L3mP2qrxbR6NUboM5CP0Pgx0-owAAEX5dWQHffopIb9Zunv9ypPYyr8gYZen0sVpxOja/s320/Ayesha+Takia.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309088478319954386" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Once again I am alone as she has left me. She? I am talking about Ayesha Takia. She got married recently with her long time Boy friend Farhaan. But her act has left me shattered. I am totally shocked. I adore her for last five year, but that part has come to an end. She was there in my desktop background, orkut album, mobile screen and more... as an ethical person, I am no longer able to connect her with me. So I have to part with her. Now no desktopbackground, orkut album, mobile screen.<br />I am her true fan as I havent change my choice since I picked her. I was in pune when I saw Taarzan (her debut), since than I am .......... I have seen Taarzan, Dor and Socha na tha number of times. they are stored permanently in my hard disk.<br />I liked her due to her ever smiling face. whenever I used to look at her, It gave me immense pleasure and forgot all pain and problem.<br />But her marriage act left me alone. so Who will be next? pata nahi...<br />I admire her alot because whatever role she has portrayed, are based on her own terms and condition. No director's dadagiri regarding clothes and scenes. Unlike other actresses, she believed in one man, one love and one marriage.<br />I wish her a great and happy married life ahead.<br /><br />But abhi umra hi kya hai uski shaadi karne ki :(<br /><br />Note: Dont take this post too seriously..<br /></div>GKKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666170864477573442noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027308839397650564.post-62359499123584340392009-02-14T12:47:00.000+05:302009-02-14T13:18:48.440+05:30Dry Day: Just a law on paper...<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW098LboSBQzMGqQsbS6ATT9CiLZH1Fxxu_qNUIpeqVhaP1PmjhLFJ41tH_ViDi5pfzFX6Bvyy8fffXUva6iYz8e_ZlDNQkhH3hyphenhyphenuWDsgOaYjW3cnuGj99OUkH88t8HEwIo5TCksQwX8oV/s1600-h/15082008573.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW098LboSBQzMGqQsbS6ATT9CiLZH1Fxxu_qNUIpeqVhaP1PmjhLFJ41tH_ViDi5pfzFX6Bvyy8fffXUva6iYz8e_ZlDNQkhH3hyphenhyphenuWDsgOaYjW3cnuGj99OUkH88t8HEwIo5TCksQwX8oV/s320/15082008573.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302556151669614130" border="0" /></a><br /><br />In the last 27 year I was first time out of Rajasthan and Delhi on both independence and republic day. Luckily on both days I was out of my college also to visit some beautiful places in the country Mahe and Goa. I was surprised to see the apathy towards the law of dry day; liquor selling prohibition in retail shop. Though there is no ban on consumption on the dry day. Liquor policy is a state policy and central government can't direct a state to implement liquor prohibition policy. Every state has its own liquor prohibition policy. It's in state's jurisdiction to declare a day as dry day.<br />Check out the list of dry day of different states:<br />Maharashtra:<br />http://www.maharashtra.gov.in/mahastateexcise.maharashtra.gov.in/STATE%20EXCISE/EXCISE/list_of__dry_days.htm<br />Rajasthan:<br />http://www.rajexcise.org/web/info.htm<br />Delhi:<br />http://excise.delhigovt.nic.in/ex7.asp<br />Himachal Pradesh:<br />http://hptax.nic.in/stex678.htm<br /><br /><br />Mostly state has declared three national holidays namely Independence day, Republic day and Gandhi Jayanti along with some religious festival day. Here my concern is towards National holiday. I might be biased towards liquor ban as I don't consume. But still I wanted to share my feeling on this topic.<br />Unlike USA, we have our own way to celebrate these national festivals. But how many of us celebrate these days as for common man, it's just another day where school children get some kind of sweets, national flag is unfurled followed by national anthem and some speeches by leaders and celebration is over. So what is so important being a festival where majority of population doesn't participate. These festivals are of national importance which unites each and every Indian irrespective of his/her religious, regional and caste background. In this backdrop, every Indian feels proud about national festivals.<br />For many people, celebration without alcohol is useless. On this 26th Jan, everybody got three day continuous leave, thanks to weekend and Republic day. Many fun loving people like me flocked to Goa. Goa without alcohol is not true Goa in his spirit. I don't know whether Goa has dry day on Republic day. But I was surprised to see the flow of alcohol on Republic day because so far I have seen complete ban on sell of liquor on dry day. A ban on sell of liquor and not on consumption is contrary to me.<br />A mere law will not serve its purpose until people start to avoid liquor on dry days. But whether people will like to avoid will be a question. Government should check this law whether it's serving its true purpose which is giving respect to nation builder and freedom fighter. If dry day law is not serving the same than it will be good to abolish this law and let people to decide on celebration.<br /><br /><br /></div>GKKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666170864477573442noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027308839397650564.post-80303259391043407642009-01-13T15:09:00.000+05:302009-01-13T18:37:26.786+05:30Me and My Bollywood Prem<div style="text-align: justify;">I was thinking to write for last many days as most of my friends are regular blogger. recently i was in jaipur when i met rajeev, who was working on to write something on bollywood.<br />As i am also a big fan of bollywood, so i decided that i will start with that.<br />Before joining the IIMK, I used to watch most of hindi movies in cinema hall (not on computer) for last 12 years..<br />I remember correctly that when i was in class 6th in Govt upper primary school no. 3, rajgarh. whole class went to see some children movie. that was first time when i saw a theatre. after that i saw a couple of movies in rajgarh with my family.<br />I saw movie 'Beta' during class 8th alone without any friend n family member. at that day L K Advani also came to rajgarh for public meeting. after listening to him at new bus stand, i went to movie hall after fighting alot with my mom. I am good in remembering some specific events and dates.. :)<br /><br />The Navrang Takeej, only place for entertainment in my hometown was very specific in its nature. it was not a small theatre, it still function and has balcony and box as well. earlier a rickshaw used for publicity in all streets and roads of rajgarh. a guy on rickshaw used to announce the movie name and its characters name in his specific Andaaz on loud speaker, "Navrang Takeej ke vishal parde per, Aap dekhiye apne yaar dosto ko dikhaiye, Maato and bahno ki pasand shaan se chal raha hai 3 show me 'Sholay' some thing like that.<br />I live in main market of rajgarh on first floor,as the rickshaw came to near my house we used to come out in our balcony to listen him and to view the poster. my balcony's (Jharokha) height was more than my reach so i used to climb over the balcony's wall by keeping my foot on the JAALI of Jharokha.. Till the time the voice of loudspeaker faded, i used to hang there.<br /><br />Till the 12th standard i watched many movies in our NAVRANG takeej. After 12th I went to Kota for PET preparation, there also i watched Yesboss within first week of my arrival. then their was a routine to watch a movie in after each mock test. at that time their were 5 picture halls in Kota. I visited all of them :)<br />Then came to Jaipur, Pink City. we entered to college on 20th August. on 15th September 1999 we watched the movie "Mast" starring Aftab n Urmila in Kohinoor theatre in Sanganer on first day first show (morning 9.30), it was new theatre at that time. we were around 7 friends their. As the song "ruki ruki si jindagi" started we all friends started dancing in our seats and then started to walk in front of screen. at that time security guards came and screening was halted, after lot of argument they allowed us to sit (as we were in college if they had thrown us out, it might become their problem :) ). That was awsome experience, Thanxs to Hemendra Purohit..<br />I watched many movie with him n pankaj soni during first year. I can count that during Sep to May, I watched 24 movies in theatre, though we used to go to cheapest theatre like laxmimandir (16/- or 25/- tkt) or Man prakash. I had a gr8 group in MNIT, we used to come back from theatre to college on foot mostly even from Ankur n Premprakash theatre (very far from MNIT). Even during exam gap also we used to go to see, i remember that Chal mere bhai or dulhan hum le jaayenge we watched during exam gap.<br />my first english movie in theatre was either Deep Sea or Mummy (dont remember correctly). these were in Hindi. Though I didnt like to see english movie but due to Kunal n Hemendra I had to see english movie. Our target was to see movie on very first day without reading reviews, due to that we saw some horrible movies like Khauf and many more. Most of movie which i saw with hemendra or guru or pankaj during college on sitting first three row (cost saving)... In the final year of my college days, frequency of movie reduced as myself and my other friends didnt get placements .<br /><br />My first job at escorts in faridabad, at that time (2003) their was no multiplex in faridabad. their was one cinema hall where I and Ashish Dudeja went inside the hall, and we purchased tkt after getting the seat in theatre hall, this was a gr8 experience. a typical delhi language speaking person mostly in Faridabad, so not many families used to turn up to watch movies their. i saw Gangajal twice, boom :(, and many more during my 7 months in Faridabad.<br /><br />Than I headed to Pune, their also i found many friend who were interested in watching movies in theatre. At that time my friend list included some girls also :), those 4 months was best period of my life so far. I cant forget the movie Taarjan (My Ayesha Prem was started after that movie) and Hum-Tum. there are many good memories associated with these movies. In pune most of theatre plays Jan-Gan-Man before starting movies, again a new experience. During my stay in Pune, I went to Mumbai with friends. In the evening we went to see 'Deewar' but their were no tkt available, we showed our Defence i-cards to guard and went inside to managers chambers. He gave away the tickets and then came to know the power of govt officers :).<br /><br />Finally delhi, My room mates Haldi n Shital boss also avid fan of movies so we had a gr8 time.<br />PVR Priya was near to us in delhi, my most lovable hanging out place in delhi. Infact me and haldi watched two movies in a day twice. Then both of them get married and transferred from delhi so again their was less frequency of watching movie, but i used to see movie with peeyush most often. Goyal and Jaini are most aalsi people, whenver i used to go to gurgaon at their house, they used to spoil all programs though i watched many movies with them also but after lot of arguments.<br />DRDO gave me a lot of opportunities to travel in India, so I took this opportunity to see movie in many cities, especially Hyderabad which i like most after Jaipur. A unique theatre we visited, which used to charge high for front seat compare to back seats. isnt it interested?.<br /><br />My bollywood prem still is intact but i m in calicut where theatre is quite far n not many of hindi movies are screened. But here i watch english movies as well though my first choice will always be hindi one, but still I should broaden my Horizon.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>GKKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666170864477573442noreply@blogger.com4
