Separate State's Satire

The news(10/12/2009) -- Andhra continues to smolder over Telangana issue. TRS Chief K Chandrashekar Rao could register his name in history by carving out a new state from Andhra Pradesh. After all, he has fasted for 11 days, such a big sacrifice for the division of a State... So as we can well see how hard our politicians are working to DIVIDE. Divide the people, divide the land, divide the water, divide the morals.... go on dividing, they would someday devise a formula to divide the air too, so that you won't be able to breathe in my space. In the past such divisions of state have given us Honorable Ministers like Madhu Koda (Jharkhand), Shibu Soren(Jharkhand) , Ajit Jogi(Chattisgarh) and they have already given as exceptional examples of the extraordinary feat they have achieved after the division of the state and how the state has progressed after the division... sorry I forgot to mention progressed in corruption, progressed in inefficiency. Soon I think Raj Thackrey will be dem...

Finally, now I understand

There were times when even the smallest of the gifts were the most cherished ones and there are times when even the costliest gifts seem so petty. How even a comic book was the most cherished gift I got in my childhood and now even the 50k bike was not good enough for me. How even the 10Rupee note was once so gratifying for the new year celebration and now even a 1000 seems so scrimpy. There were times when I thought that love is as pure as sapphire and then there was a time when I learnt that love was just a profane desire. There were times when even the biggest of disputes/fights that I had with friends in the morning got resolved by the evening and then there are times when even the smallest of altercations have taken years and still there are no resolutions. There were times when I was taught that to lie/cheat is the biggest crime and how now I cheat myself and others to earn the green bucks. I have grown up and in the transition from a child, I have lost somethings and acquired so...

Friends Are Friends

You love them, you fight them, you oppose them, you defend them.... FAF You contest them, you endorse them, you trust them, you support them, you party together, you study all night, you dine together, you wine together, you bug them, you hug them... FAF I wonder when I write today how our friendship began, there was no picturesque starting. A hi, hello at some time.. a few casual meet-ups and then slowly and steadily it grew like we never knew or thought of. I never knew that so different personalities could ever complement each other so well. We played together and he loved to win. I loved to lose when I was on the other side(though I could not have defeated him :) and l loved to win when we were a team(I knew I'll win when he's at my side :). I still remember all the times when he just stood at my side and that was all I needed I could fight the world upright. I had my failures and imperfections that were shrugged off like a kids tantrum. Then came the tough times of ou...

Find 'The Ant Within'

While I was idling at my study table, I saw an ant as it went about hunting for some food. Just to make its search easier I brought a sugar cube from the kitchen and placed it at some distance from it. I observed it closely as it neared the sugar cube. People might think of them as simple insects that wonder around all day without doing anything, but ants busy themselves with tiny tasks to accomplish big things. Ants are industrious and loyal, and they do never complain even when they have to accomplish tasks which are much bigger than they are. I have been fascinated with the way these small ants, millions and trillions in numbers live together as a family in their colony and they have no problem with each other, no mix-ups, no disorders. They work in a team, and working together they are able to create an amazing world for themselves. Why can’t then we the People with far more superior intellect than the ants understand each other and work for common good. Why can’t we treat our nati...

Dreams....

Dreams.... tangibles, non tangibles, real, allusive, distant, near.... We keep running after the dreams without even realizing how much it will take out of us to make our dreams come true. To dream is quite an easy task, to materialize your dreams is a tough one, an extremely tough one. Wohh I have been dreaming about marrying Katrina for long... illusive. I have been thinking about getting a physique like Hrithik... tangible. How about being the Mr. Prime Minister... distant. Dreams dreams and just dreams. Time is running away, hey wait ... I need to ponder upon a certain things, I need to decide how to work out certain things.. time time don't run away wait. No it won't. So will I keep chasing the time or wil I run ahead of the time. How about being with the time... Wooo another set of questions, I will need some time to answer them:) Time is running out need to conclude.. The question is whether you can emerge victorious at the end of the dawn. Every morning you wake up with...

Maya-Mega-Watt-i Shock

Kudos to Ms Mayawati for spending Rs 2000cr on erecting grandiose statues of herself in a state having the lowest literacy rate, the highest maternal mortality rate, largest child labour force and where more than 59 million people are below the poverty line . The whopping Rs 2000 cr, if it would have been used for the upliftment of the poor, building schools and hospitals besides social upliftment schemes for oppressed class would have earned you a million praise but pity Ms Mayawati believes so much in vanity. This probably was not the only case of Ms Mayawati's wealth show. How could one forget that on her 52nd birthday last year, Mayawati's party workers decked out Lucknow, with hundreds of thousands of lights, while Mayawati greeted supporters with an expensive diamond necklace and matching earrings. The irony is that in a country where 60% of the population is below the poverty line and live in squalid conditions, Ms Mayawati didn't even flinched an eye befor...

Jaago re

Kab jaagega ae tu insaan , jab tut raha hoga aasman .. Jab yeh dharti phat jayegi , ya jab kayamat aa jayegi .. Tab jaag ke tu kya kar lega , kya tu maut se lad lega .. Jab aaj nahi tu jaag saka tab jaag ke tu kya karlega , tab jaag ke tu kya karlega ?? The elections of the worlds biggest democracy, India, will be starting from April 16. This time I am highly concerned of the results of the elections. Will we be ruled by regional chauvinists or will there be a national party Congress or BJP who will be serving its term at the Parliament. I want it to be anyone of the two national parties and no Fronts to rule the nation, for that would be the biggest damage to India, The Nation. I imagine the situation to be like a family of 10 brothers, each fighting for his share in the home, what will happen in such a family, feuds over little issues, clashes within the house for every penny, each brother would be trying to capitalize his position in the house and fi...

The Software Engineer who lost his Ferrari

A year ago software industry was the most sought after, the people in the industry were raking in moolahs. There were many new money makers in town, they called themselves Techie. They were young and talented and with just a few frog leaps they could easily grab millions. Onsites, bonuses, allowances added a pretty fair amount to there pocket. They also found their dream gals in this industry. The industry now not only offered him roti(food), kapda(shelter) aur makaan(home) but also pyaar(love). They had there weekend whiskies and movies, as the most exciting part the job allowed them to have. They could now afford the gizmos and gadgets and clothes that they always wanted to. All was good and well in there life till the day America hit with the recession meteor, and all of the sudden they started losing their jobs, and with their jobs went their aspirations, their dreams; not only did they lost their bread and shelter but soon they lost their love too. They tried hard to find a new jo...
