I know my blogs are not very famous, so me restarting is not going to attract a lot of attention still. while advising my friend to take interest in blogging. I had to perform my part of promise.
Some one advised me to countinue blogging and hence the attempt.

and the VOTE goes to
This is the season of election one cant but think of election when one writes. so i decided in pursuance to my earlier post. what more to write than "MY VOTE" per se.
Let me begin with saying that we all should vote. No! not because everyone says so. afterall copying is also an art. Voting, as said before is, quintessentially, not just a right but also a duty. By voting we express our opinion. Some people who claim to be too matured "not-to-vote" will be more than happy to point out to me many lucanae in my argument. chanakya answers correctly " There are infinite reasons not to begin, but Only ONE reason to succeed". let me put forward to you my example
Vote according to me is the expression of my choice- by voting i am choosing issues which matter to me, which relate to me, which are of importance to me.
Also by voting i am letting elected representative know that i am lookin forward to their work now that i have voted for them- they have to deliver. here i must say proactive involvment is necessary. it doesnt end on the voting day. You may have to undo what you did last election.
By voting i am choosing tht no one bogus votes atleast on my behalf.
there may be many reasons and counter reason(u will find many in my comments section). but this is one of the most convincing comments. what we see in the country. some pressing issues are get bulldozed by polpulism. we ignore it saying "good politics is always bad economics". why does this happen.
why did farmers let loan waiver?- because a farmer VOTES.
why did slums and illegal immigrants got residential status? becoz they VOTE
why is money spent on rural india more than urban when revenue generation is opposite ?- because our cousins (improverished, they may, still) VOTE
why is country not ready to do a rethink on reservation? -becoz people affected by this change VOTE
why is india still following orthodox legislation issues of gay rights and live-in relationship, etc?
becoz people who wish to countinue of such status quo- get it VOTE (in large numbers)
Chanakya said "you need one reason....."- i have given you many. The notion of what my vote does atleast is shattered, i suppose.
VOTING ENDS 2DAY AT 5PM . IF YOUR NAME IS THERE PLEASE TAKE PAINS TO GO TO POLLING BOOTH

the holiday that isnt
the great election in Maharashtra is just about a corner away. what is worrying people the most is whether the day will be a holiday or not a holiday. (oct.13-2009)
the election commission which is the body which grants this holiday....sorry election day, is decided with consideration like-logistics, security forces, religious festivals and ofcourse 6 month deadline. but now the new consideration is countinuos holiday. so the election day has to be in middle of the week.
the Represenation of People Act says that "such a day as declared as voting day by the election commision shall be treated as paid leave subject to corresponding state directive." so it is silent about it being a holiday. it leaves us to the intepretation as-
1. either its a day of holiday with leave
2, or it is to the discretion of the employer to decide whether a holiday.
anyway you see it, we should not see it as a holiday. we people like to ape our american counterparts in thier culture and fashion. now even in awarness. we are very vocal and agitated about our right. but who will talk about our duties what we ought to do. voting is not just our right that we can avail or redeem. its also our right to see if this right is not misappropriated.
it is sad that election day is taken as a holiday and there is discussion in front pages of nat'l dailies whether it should be declared as one. what more can you expect where even national days if coming to be sunday is cursed.

PLEASE VOTE AND BE AWARE ABOUT IT...

aiyaah.... mere paas MAA hai
you would have guessed what i mean to say. the current update is that a sitting MLA and minister has quit the congress because of being overlooked by a son of a president. President traditionally speaking has to remain above politics. Legend has it that Late President Rajendra Prasad has sent his family packing from New Delhi the day he assumed office. those were those days and these are days today
what is happening here is not new. Current leaders had been doing this from before-now only they have found a banner to promote thier family business - Youth Brigade. The youth is not going to liberate the system (as expected out of them), but rather enslave the system to thier whimps and fancies. since these leaders are not brought out from people they are elected due to loyalty to parties not loyalties to people.
this leads us to the quitessential question- why this promotion? Nietzche in his book- "Power to will" describes power as "buttress" to loose character..people hence want to cling on to the same. hence the need to keep this power in between the family. A good example is the change of administration at Rail Bhawan which stumbled skeleton out of cupboard.
as said earlier this is not new but the shameful display of this nepotism and the sheer audacity of terming it Young Politician is suprising. After all what have these youth leaders acheived. Young aspirant just becoming MP/ MLA's by virtue of being son/ daughter of sumone with no administrative experience is panicking. How will they run the country is situation befalls on them. this leaves such greenhorns to the mercy of old politicians who now rule by proxy hence defeating the cause.
we need young blood to flow through the clogged veins of power to rejuvenate new life not to cause bllod pressure !!

bomb such terror
"...that people don't learn for History.........is the biggest lesson History has to teach"
With the media and public mood so engrossed into the politics of confidence vote the terror definitely have regained their confidence and vetoed our belief of having a upper hand. they have proved that they still posses the power to strike at will.
the biggest advantage of such acts are that they are changed form time to time to evict detection. What is not changed is the apathy and lousy Administration of such terror attack. As a leader had said - "There is no dearth of confidence in this country... only scarcity of people to put that on" the Indian scene is no better. even after so much of terror attack and losing so many sons to the terror strikes the country has now given up hope and hence this reflex action called Resilience.
Indians (and I mean Indians) by the lot are greatly tolerant. but as the adage goes he who timid is great sinner than the exploiter. Our Political compulsion do not allow us to take any decision. what we are best at- face saving and creating a few shameful records
1) Mumbai:- same city to be targeted 2 times.
2) Bangalore:- city rich in national asset(both public and pvt) but poor in securing them.
3) Ahmadabad:- City to be bombed by highest serial explosion.
now is the time to plough out old weeds of JTM(Jt Terror Mech.) CBM's. and criminal helping laws. The fact that when major nations were amending laws to reign in Anti terror law ,when we are the only country which repealed it mid way. I know what the official line may be. We know the present administration or the wanna be administration both are timid when it comes to being hard on terror. the people of India do not (actually cant should be the word) expect you to take drastic decision at least do some hard talk.
what is the use of such strategic relation with US when it still funds Pak on such issues. Its high time that we learn from past and take drastic steps to protect the life of every Indian citizen on Indian soil . Enough fence sitting on this issue. now we need to send out a clear message.

of mistakes and ignorances...both childish..
"Past looks better in prespective"
It is actually true. when i saw a young lad today fighting with group of boys abt being unfairly given out in cricket match. i remembered the way we used to fight.hot blows were exchanged. abuses hurled and then ..a candy for the surrender. how instant were those fights and so easy resolution. now if we fight the issues may be petty the solutions are difficult. even saying a sorry becomes so heavy on heart. before it was a custom that compulsion to compromise. forgetting and forgiving were actual and beyond the crude idiom.
when we grow up we become more mature..for what i would ask. we start avoiding mistake in the eternal race to be perfect. why?. because we feel ashamed to say sorry. when we aren't going to be perfect why not make mistakes and say sorry. it better to target imperfection and hit it than to target perfection and miss it.
children always dreamed of being an adult. now at this stage it looks so better to be in the kids shoes where all our mistake will be forgiven and forgotten under the garb of innocence ignorance. Our stammering will be praised than perfect garrulous speech.
So go ahead and enjoy the tiny moments of making mistakes and saying sorry. make childish mistakes only worthy of innocent smiles.
perhaps it will be apt to put it this way "whats the use of being an adult if u cant be childish some times"

cartoons are forever
few days back i got to know that Cartoon Network is showing old cartoons in the special section boomerang after 10 PM(2200hrs). it was a treat laid down after a hectic day. nothing is more refreshing that to refresh actually relive those past days. cant do it fully due to requirement of time but atleast through these cartoons i can remember those old days.
i was a die hard fan of flintsones, jetsons and johny bravo. its heartening to see that all these are again being telecasted. Though these shows are too old and no debate over the clarity in current 3D's, but i think the crude print , if I may say so, has a charm. we know that perhaps we may not be able to go back to those days. The new tom and jerry cartoons though better produced and better written is not able to re-create the same magic that kept million of people glued to their tv set
the charm about these cartoons are the fact that they are so distant from reality. We know we are never going to use a firefly as a torch(flintstones) nor will planes become a personal transport(jetsons). perhaps it is the omnipresent factor of being so distant actually different which appeals all of us. these new cartoons are so real. hello...who need k serial saga in cartoons.
i hope people at cartoon network continue to keep old shows running and the future animators try to understand that it wasnt technology that limited chuck jones to make a cat and mouse chase into such a everloved and immortal story. it was actually creative genius..
and for the record shin chan is the only japanese cartoon that i love......
