"Earthling sake"..!

I am quite good in "switching off" the lights and "unplugging" things that are not needed. I become more aggressive doing this every time after receiving the electricity bill. This is being going on for two years yet I find I have not achieved any significant saving on my electricity bill. My "electricity bill" still continues to remain hounded by a "draining" 'money' "Energy". I am not discouraged yet, I continue to remain a "switch off the lights" enthusiast. Its nearing 8.30PM now and today is the last "Saturday" of this month "March". Let's get set to "switch off" the lights, also not think instead "lighting up" a "candle". Let's once in a year this day for just one "HOUR" enjoy the "silence of darkness". It takes a decade to see a 'fraction degree' of impact of "global warming" on "Earth". Therefore the...

Have a "Nice Day"....

With so many reservations that are 'stalking' a generally “ordinary people”, I am sure very soon when you try booking a 'pool side' table in some 'five star' hotel...Your conversation with the reservation desk will run something like this…Read on... You: Hello is this Hotel “Paradise” Reservation desk Hotel “paradise”: Good Morning sir, can I help you You: I need to book a table for 2 on your “Pool” side restaurant for this evening RDHP: sure sir. But before that as per the latest Government norms, you will have to answer a set of questions that I should be asking. I am sorry this may be annoying but rule is a rule… You: please go ahead I am willing to take the questions. I am a law abiding citizen RDHP: Here is my first Q….Your citizenship..? You: Indian RDHP: Are you a “schedule cast” You: No RDHP: Do you belong to any “schedule tribe” You: No RDHP: Are you from a “Minority Community” You: I am a ‘Hindu’ RDHP: That means you don’t belong to any “Minority Commu...

"Mayawati" a "Political Virus"

The power of a 'computer virus' is such that if one program is infected, it can spread like “swine flue” into the entire system. In the same way if a 'Political virus' is left not 'treated' will spread like “Aids” and sooner or later destroy the very fabrics of the "political system" of the country. Today in a "Democratic India", there are lots of 'political virus' that needs to be "treated". However it is the virus called "Mayawati" that beats them all in "priority". It is a disgusting fact to realize that in our system of "Democracy", political personalities like "Mayawati" continue to remain unbridled, unchecked and allowed to lead a life of splendor and arrogance at the cost of “Aam Aadmi’s basic needs. UP (Uttar Pradesh) today has become a "Welfare State" for "Mayawati" and her band of cronies. The people of this State remain a mute spectator to her ...

For the “Tiger” not in the “wood”..?

In the very recent past I had the opportunity to visit both “Ranthambore” National Park” off “Sawi Madhopur” and “Jim Corbett” off “Ranikhet”. I spent my ‘patience’ and two nights on the “Machans”, yet I could not even spot the 'pug marks' of “tiger" any where. It does send me into believing that “Tigers” have vanished from the “woods”. I remain now totally confused on the government’s arithmetic of “1411”. Why not we seriously contemplate to target on some other ‘animal’ for our “national symbol” instead of living in vanity with “Tigers” that are there no more. Here are some options that come to my mind. “Jungle Bees”. In case we can call this an 'animal'? They have the potential for dispersing unruly political 'rallies'. A heat on their “butt” is enough to ignite them. However I am not sure if the “Bees” have butts”? ... “Cows”. They are found in plenty, on our streets and roads. It will also help in preventing these stray “animals” from ending u...

It’s Time to Move On!

In today’s real time "India" “National symbols”…are not expected to infuse a sense of pride and patriotism in us. They are instead expected to connect to the people of the soil on an “as is where is basis”. I see our national game “Hockey” no where near in achieving this. We are still not able to promote this “game”. This in spite of all those 'symbolic' attempts by media, Bollywood and & government. ”Hockey” is a very energetic game and the basic skill required for playing “Hockey” is the ability to control, pass, push, stop and shoot the ball with your hockey stick. It is both beautiful and impressive to watch a player with good stick handling skills controlling the ball while sprinting the length of the field, or weave through the sticks and legs of defenders to create a chance for shooting at the goal. Playing “Hockey” indeed calls for a lot of stamina and energy. Sadly today none of us have any thing much to contribute to “boost” our energy for “Hockey”. In...

Women’s reservation a “no need”.?

I don’t subscribe to any school of thought that practices male chauvinism. Though I was never a student of political science, I do understand that Article 14 of our constitution guarantees equality to women and article 15 guarantees no discrimination and the article 16 talks about equal opportunity. Post 62 years these constitutional fundamentals are still not being seen whole heartedly practiced in our society. I call this a lack of "political will". Today if this is being re surfaced as “woman’s reservation bill, it is simply a political maneuvering to gain political popularity. I don’t understand how reserving “181”seats in “Lok Sabha” for woman is going to prevent the “pervert” political minds from exploiting "woman" I can neither imagine nor believe that this “181” parliamentary quota for "woman" is going to help those millions of unfortunate "women" in this country, who in spite of all talk about "woman empowerment" are not allow...

chonk gaye kya..!

From 'colas' to 'cosmetics' and from 'toiletries' to 'detergents' ,it is we the consumer who influence the wining edge for the product as well contribute to all the shakes and moves of their sales graph. In short it is we the consumers who remain both a king maker and an uncrowned king in the FMCG market. However somewhere in the chain of the events it is them who make a joker of us through their creative ad that get into our head without influencing our brain. For instance in spite of my using anti dandruff shampoos, the dandruff continues to remain cozy and comfortable inside the scanty growth over my head. My skin still continues to remain “dark and not glowingly” even after exhausting tubes of “fair & lovely”. The white shirts that I wear to office is anything but a “safedi ke chamkan”. Even my wife’s hopping from "Rin to "Tide" & "Tide to Rin" has not helped my shirts to "wash away" its paleness. I still or...
