Big business; Outsourcing a Country's Democracy

This perfectly suits Indian Democracy, looking at the current state of affairs.

Murders, Rapes, crimes, Mafia, corruption, rising prices, poverty,  "babudom", inefficient bureaucracy and so many unsolved problems still exist.

Then the next question comes to who would be the most eligible organization to take over this mammoth task.

I strongly feel no other company matches the skills and the past successes of East India Company (UK).

Hence I urge the UK government to pitch in and look out for this business option.

How about a 100 billion Pounds for this deal?? 

I know we, Indians have enough money for this; even if we pledge 5% of our country's gold that is more than enough to convince Britishers to accept this lucrative offer.

There is no other nation which has such a strong military order, a highly efficient bureaucracy and a commanding presence other than the UK.

Dear MR. David Cameroon,

       Can you please accept my sincere request to bid for an outsourcing deal with India and save all of us Indians from further grief? we would definitely rethink to renew the 5 year contract to a 10 year one after the first term ends.

A new proverb

This sounds silly but I want to record this in writing so I can smile whenever I come back and read.

"All the wood/trees/sticks which lay aside help the fire when there is one but when we attempt to put off the fire nothing comes for help".

This means everyone and everything comes and aggravates the destruction but during reconstruction no one comes for help.

Poverty is not only about money

I am poor and I can justify that; 
How many are poor in my country and in other parts of the world?
How are they poor? by birth? 
by age and living standard?
In most of the cases a person is categorized as "poor" by the amount of money he is earning and the standard of living!
I would say there is one more criteria; the amount of work one has;
Yes I am way far poorer than millions of my country citizens because I don't have work to do. I am poor by work.


There are millions and if you go by the statistics, an estimated 37% of Indians fall below poverty line; the assumption is that poverty is calculated based on your daily wages and the monthly income.
What about work? how many of these millions of people don't have work?
What about the remaining 63% of people in India? Are they all working? 
Do we have statistics to show how many of them are poor by work? 
Now comes the difficult question; there is no standard or criteria to identify how much a person works each day; then how can we actually estimate this poverty?
No nation becomes developed just by money; it takes decades and probably centuries in some cases to change the standard of living of people. Its no mean task.


When an estimated half the young population (20-30 years) of your country are just free (my own take), how can you achieve growth? 
When more than half of your middle age population are free (30-50 years), how can you aspire for a new India?
Yes I am complaining here; I am part of the problem and I know it; what I don't know is how do I alleviate it? 
Hope Aamir Khan reads this blog and highlight this in one of his satyameva jayate episodes.
There are many people in my country who goes to office just to spend half of their days with tea/coffee/lunch breaks (including me???); there is no real reason for it; its a more complex thing to analyze why a person is free during office hours.


I don't blame our policy makers or politicians for this; some of them are after all doing something if not completely good either for themselves or for the nation.
People should work; we all should work and build our nation; because of the globalization impact each nation is now becoming an immigration hub; after another 30-40 years you wouldn't say Australians live in Australia; After a century probably Britain would lose its identity of a country where majority would be English.
It happens with every other developed nation sooner or later.


The real problem is still not known and a part of the solution is with us; its an organization's failure to keep its employees free; its a nation's failure to keep its citizens unproductive; its a family's failure to see their children roaming and passing time; And finally its a personal failure on each individual to see himself/herself sitting idle and doing nothing.

things with life fetch zero

This is true though it sounds general.
This suits perfectly well for human beings.
No one values good people, no one cares, no one listens to them, no one thinks about them because they are alive.
Once a person dies or he becomes past, people start realizing his potential; they start praising how phenomenal he used to be; how great he was and all that nonsense people say when someone dies.
when that person was alive, no one would have talked about him. no one would have appreciated the things he did, about his attitude, his behaviour etc.
I observe this often in a family; a brother doesn't heed to a sister or another brother's advice; similarly sisters don't listen to their brothers. This is also common among wife and husband. one never listens to the other partner.


But when of the partner dies or the brother/sister dies, they start remembering what all their dear ones used to tell when they were alive. how insane is this?
You are not giving value to a person when he was alive and you start praising him after he is gone which doesn't make sense at all.


There are several examples to this and I quote just one here:


You have a beautiful rose plant in your house with red flowers blossoming every week but  you never appreciate its fragrance, nor you appreciate its beauty; but on one not so fine a day when it perishes or is eaten away by stray dogs/pigs, you start missing it and recollects how beautiful the plant used to be.


You damn fool!!! you never noticed it when it was lively and beautiful with all those red flowers but started missing it when its gone. you never tried to protect it, never watered it and never cared for it. what good it does when you start repenting after its already gone?


So my friends, the moral of the story is this:
please appreciate people when they are alive and present in front of you, please acknowledge their work and their efforts. Remember its not worth if you do these after that person is gone.
Acknowledge the person's value and his/her words.

saagar movie review

This movie directed by Ramesh Sippy is a classic romantic tragedy in its own genre.
I couldn't believe kamal hassan would excel so much in hindi dialogues but he did.
He really did a fine performance though you could see the occassional over performance in some scenes.
I admire rishi kapoor and he looks like a real lover in this movie; he truly is a great actor and in romantic roles he is the king.
The chemistry between rishi kapoor and dimple worked really well in this movie. Though there isn't much acting for dimple except retorting to kamal's teasings and crying for some time. We all know she is capable of more than that in her other roles.
She is a beauty and her semi nude scene in this movie would have been a sensation when it was released in the 80s.
Every hindi movie goer knows this story; two guys falling for one girl and one of the guys dies and sacrifices for his love.
Because of the beautiful melodies RD Burman gave and because of the theme of the movie, it really is a masterpiece. you can call it a sensation and one of the best of the movies with  triangular love stories.


I lost my breath crying and crying especially in the climax when kamal denies his love for dimple and says what he all wanted is dimple and rishi be together. its so tragic when kamal dies and just before that dimple utters a dialogue with a deep value.
" a person shouldn't be so good that others should feel ashamed of themselves of being human". 
Its marvelous, Javed Akhtar saab, you are a magician with your words.


Watch Saagar for Dimple and for Rishi Kapoor and how kamal hassan proved his mettle with hindi language.

Human cleaning system

I got this idea today and found it brilliantly beautiful.
yes, similar to a dry cleaning how about a cleaning system for human body??????
I hope medical scientists soon start this.
The ads would be  something like this:
1) 100$ for cleaning your kidneys
2) 50$ for removing fat or cleaning your legs
3) 200$ for cleaning your heart
4) 300$ for cleaning your skin 
5)  100$ for lungs' cleaning
6) 500$ for cleaning your brain
7) 100$ for your stomach
8)1000$ for your penis


funny!!!!! I am sure this would become a reality in a few decades.
Check your local newspapers!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Gettysburg movie review

I know I don't have any credits to write a review on such a great movie as "Gettysburg" directed by Ronald F Maxwell.
The movie is all about American Civil war during the 18th century and mostly about the battle that takes place at Gettysburg.
The movie is all about freedom and how a group defends America's freedom in one of the bloodiest civil wars in america's history.
This is a must watch if you really want to see one of the finest performances in a war movie from Jeff Daniels. I never heard about him before this movie but now I am in complete awe of his role and his acting.
He is definitely a great actor and the role portrays him so as well.
The emotions he show, the strength, the character and the inspirational speech he gives to the new regiment is simply astounding.
His huge moustache falling down, compassionate eyes and much more than any, his character on the battle field show how great the actual hero was during the battle.


Shooting a movie for a 2 hour long with 3 quarters of the movie in the battle field is no less acheivement and the credit should definitely goes to the direcotr, Ronald F Maxwell.


This is a must watch for all the movie lovers and especially who love the war genre.


Kudos to Jeff Daniels and Ronald F Maxwell.
