R.I.P. Michael, you deserve it

Michael Jackson, Whacko Jacko, King of Pop, the man who revolutionized the Moonwalk,  is no more.

Call him whatever you want, think of him whatever you want but he was the complete entertainer.

You could love him or you could hate him but you couldn’t ignore him. His music carried the message of love, peace and unity. His music broke the barriers of caste,creed, color and religion. People from all corners of the world – knew him, knew his music.

As for his detractors, to hell with you all, he could have been anything but a molester.

I love him and respect him.

He was the man I HAVE GROWN UP LISTENING TO LIKE MILLIONS OTHERS AND HE WILL ALWAYS HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART.

A flawed genius, his enigmatic personality was contagious.

A "thriller" of a life

This is it - Rest in Peace Michael

 

 

 

 

 

All in all he was “Bad” (just like anyone else) and his life itself was a “Thriller”.

All I want to say is – REST IN PEACE MICHAEL, YOU DESERVE IT

Ohh…its hot day!

Many at times nowaday we hear people using these words “Aaj garmi bahut hai (Its a hot day)” and even we use it quiet often. But do we actually think, “Aaisa kyun hai (Why is it so hot)” Do we look at the real reason behind the intolerable heat and humidity – Global Warming.

Temprature is probably the only thing we dont blame on the political parties, because down in heart we know we are at fault as much as any body else.

The rising air pollution, industrial smoke, the cutting of trees, no plants or flowers in the parks, No trees to sheild us from the hot summers and yet we grumble about the soaring temprature and the rising elctricity bills since we need the Air Conditioners in our homes like food on our dinner plates.

For long we have relished and even exhausted the fruits Mother Nature has bore for us, now its time  to wake up people, before its too late and lets take some action to protect Mother Nature.A change is required from YOUR front…plant a tree,protect the parks,protect the plants,encourage greenery and motivate the others around you for – Light begets Light.

Indian media – Good or Bad – Part 2

Today a bomb blast in Lahore took place.

A news of international importance, people glued to the television sets hoping to get up to date news.

“UP TO DATE”

AND THIS IS WHAT OUR MEDIA SERVES

2 suspects held

3 suspects held

35 people died

40 people died

45 people died

Over 45 people died

Now if you still can’t get the point of this post then May God provide you sense and sensability!

Ye Dilli hai mere yaar

You scratch my back I will scratch yours

You scratch my back I’ll scratch yours seems to be the motto of our political parties. There is not a single party winning with pure majority and on its own merit or good work rather they have to get into unholy alliances with other parties leading to chaos and arguments afterwards.

61 years post independence and they are still fighting the cause of one caste, religion or state or the other, playing votebank politics rather than investing their time dedicatedly working for the masses who elect them to power.

Will these parasitical tendencies of these parties ever change,will we ever see actions speaking louder than their false words, will India become a “TRUE DEMOCRACY” some day, will we ever see youth taking over the reigns …I have my doubts, what about you?

Enough is Enough

The two biggest political parties in India, Congress and the BJP have been washing each other’s dirty linen in public for a long time now. The blame games do not seem to end. One did this and the other did that, one started this the other started that, one has been this successful and the other in another way. But the most important thing to look at here is the fact that both have been unsuccessful at one time or the other too.

Two things with which both have been unsuccessful so far is the fact that both have been unable to provide the citizens with better infrastructure and corruption does not seem to end.

Every corner of this country proudly known as Hindustan, Bharatvarsha or India is reeking with corruption. These people are eating our country like termites and in the end nothing will be left to salvage.

Forget being an Indian, Being a Delhiite, I am no longer proud of it. Enough is enough, I am sick of the trash lying on roads, broken footpath/roads/dividers, illegal constructions, MCD sealing, out of control media, false promises by ministers/local authorities, black money stored in foreign banks, beggars on roads, thriving slums/basties/jhuggis, corrupt officials, inefficient police…and the list goes on and on.

Commonwealth Games round the corner and we are one 40% through with 17 months to go and 60% of work left, it’s a matter of shame for us, making us a laughing stock in front of the world.

And if, the citizens don’t raise their voices and maintain the “Chalta Hai” attitude, I pity the future generation of kids in this country, as they will be left with nothing to cherish by these greedy good-for-nothings.

Back to Reality

‘Slumdog Millionaire’ children back on streets, shanties razed

Mumbai, May 14 (IANS) Nearly 20 children who acted in the Oscar-winning ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ have been thrown on the streets after Mumbai civic authorities Thursday morning demolished nearly 50 huts in a slum here, terming the slum unauthorised.

Azharuddin Ismail M. Shaikh, the main child star of the movie, said a team of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) came unannounced this morning, ordered them to move out of their shanties in Garib Nagar slum of Bandra East and demolished them.

‘We have nowhere to go. We are just sitting on the road in the blazing sun right now. All our belongings and other household goods have either been thrown out or damaged. We don’t know what we will eat today,’ Azhar, crying inconsolably, told IANS.

When contacted, Assistant Municipal Commissioner H (East) Ward U.D. Mistry said the MCGM had specific orders from the headquarters to clear off all hutments which are constructed on the main drain in Bandra East.

‘It may have happened that these celebrity children’s homes also fell in this category, but we have to follow orders,’ Mistry said.

He added that if eligible, all the displaced persons would be provided alternative accommodation before the monsoon, expected to hit Mumbai early June.

In the meantime, the families of Azhar and his co-star Rubina Ali Qureshi are now pinning their hopes on getting a flat as promised by Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan.

The flat allotment was delayed since the elections were announced but now the model code of conduct will be lifted Monday.

This is the second time in the past five years or so that the MCGM has demolished the shanties in the area. Since the last demolition, the families, including those of the ‘Slumdog’ artistes, have been living in a park or pavements, said a resident, Yakub Abdul Sheikh.

I would like to ask my fellow countrymen some of whom already have and the one’s who will vote, do these opportunists who change their colors acoording to the situation, deserve to run our country, do these people really care about common masses,about common people like you and me, these are the people who divide people on the basis of religion and caste, will they ever let us make a unified India, and can they be entrusted with building a better future for the generations to come and MOST IMPORTANTLY, will they leave anything for the future generations to be proud of?

Do you have a similar story?

There are stray dogs in your colony, garbage is dumped right across or near your house, is there an open sewer nearby causing you problems, did you child fall sick because of mosquitoes, does the authority appointed sweeper in your area hoard money from you, does he threaten you, are the roads in your area broken, is there an illegal jhuggi near to your house, is there an illegal construction in progress, is your community park encroached, do the rickshaws illegaly occupy footpaaths, do the officials demand money from you…the list is endless, but it does sound similar to your story…right!

Well you are not the only one complaining my friend,  there are others like you who have asked for help from higher authorities with their pleas falling on deaf ears.

Have a look for yourself
