I am not a computer addict in the strictest sense,though I accept that I normally remain highly engaged with my computer.I hardly play any 'computer games' other than an occasional game of Solitaire. My social networking site begins and ends at "Linked In". I don't indulge in "Orkut",and neither 'Face book' has any time made me 'compulsive' enough to register. On the other side my wife normally keeps herself disengaged in the strictest sense from the computer. However when she starts playing "Bloobs" or "Free cell" then 'we' the rest in the 'family' very often miss the 'evening tea' and at times made to skip the "dinner". I would say she remains a 'classy' example of a "computer addict". Now ever since my wife, joined the "Face book", she has turned herself something of a "Farmer". I find her completely engrossed in buying, cows, pigs sheep a

"Dynasty" is definitely enjoying a free and unbridled power,fame and prosperity under a political system called "Democracy" in "India today" We have a "Nehru" family ruling the nation in the name of "Gandhi" and such precedence also extends into families irrelevant but 'made up' to remain politically 'relevant in states and at the center. Thank 'god' lady "Mayawathi" has no plans for marriage as yet! By the way the word "Dynasty" will always refer us to the pages of Indian "history". A reference of "Taj Mahal" and Red Fort",I am sure makes us simply marvel the splendour of Mughal Dynasty in India. It also reminds us of the violence and atrocities they unleashed to shake our faith in humanity.However the spirit of our tolerance,sustained us to live through and emerge unscathed.Incidentally all this reminds me of a fact which I am still not able to understand.You see when

We do generally remain divided in our belief, that 'we the people' under 'democracy' will always remain a 'stupid' lot. However some of us may agree to disagree on that. They maintain that since in 'democracy' it is "we the people" who elect the government,it makes us the "powerhouse" from where the 'government' of our choice draw power to keep the "Sarkar" hail & hearty. Knowing the human 'emotions', I think it will be a healthy proposition to keep such matters untouched & not debated upon. I find therefore, the tabling of " Liberhan Commission" report in the parliament an exercise in futility. After'17' years of the demolition of "Babiri Masjid", it is pointless to debate on it. However it is getting debated, may be out of a sense of duty, or out of desperate hope. Whatever be the reason, my question is can this country afford the "Parliament" sessions rem

while respecting the will of the majority, "Democracy"zealously protect the fundamental rights of individuals and minority groups.A serious student of political science will appreciate and as well understand this. But what about the 'Aam Admi"? Does he at all believe that "democracy zealously protect the fundamental rights of individual and minority groups". Let us look at some of the the day to day events,to understand the "fundamentals" of Democracy in action. Let us check these out: When an 'Aam Admi" goes to the government hospital for serious medical treatment,the hospital very often sends him away,because of shortage of beds.However a 'politician' easily gets himself admitted to the hospitals,when ever he wants evade arrest for scams or crimes A road accident victim,has to wait for the police to complete formalities,before he is able to get the medical attentions. Many a times this wait costs him his life. However if the

It is refreshing to notice that in a politically polluted environ, our Minister for "Environment and Forest" is able to stand up and at least accept that 8 lac people die every year in our country because of environmental factors.This news is worth the newsprint it is printed on. I am sure sooner or later the 'honorable' minister will also notice the plight of the living millions called "Aam Aadmi",who are presently walking,running and struggling to breath in an environ that may not have anything to do with 'global warming' or 'ozone layer' but has defiantly everything to do with with a "rut" called country's "Civic" authorities and state 'administrators. 'Honorable' minister, we understand that your 'power' and 'position' in the society will never allow you even by 'chance' to "encounter",what we the 'living people" have reconciled to live with.For instance lik

At times I am really 'wonder stuck', how our media is able to keep itself engaged so grossly on some most trivial issues. It's ability to hype 'silly points' and at times 'slip away' on important national issues continues to amaze. Where was the need to go around 'batting' on the national channel over a simple and natural response of one of our greatest gentleman cricketer & then try to "cover drive" the episode in the streets of Mumbai/Delhi. 'Sachin Tendulkar' and all of us do know we are 'Indians' and have the liberty to live, work, eat and play 'cricket' anywhere in India. Be it' Maharashtra' or' Madhya Pradesh' how does it matter? Now if some 'self centered' politicians in the country are taking time to know this, just leave them alone. I am sure with time they will realize their follies. I agree 'journalism' is all about having a nose for 'news'.However it doesn'

"Hai Hey Bom Bom Bombay Meri Hai" This is that evergreen Usha Iyer's pop number, which will even today keep you dancing happily on the sands of "Chowpathi". The politics of 'nonsense' have succeeded in re-cherishing BOMBAY as Mumbai.Never mind still for the "Aam Aadmi" this wonderful & glorious mega city will always remain a "jara hat ke jara bach ke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan". So why "wake up "Sid" to say sorry! Politicians and associated events are making this city a Waterloo of sorts for the "Aam Aadmi".How else should I describe "BOMBAY TODAY" which is reeling under a 'cult' of aimless, non-creative and non-responsible community of "idiots",who are now going round the city and its suburbs spreading a situation of anarchy. The'Aam Aadmi'here remain angered,inconvenienced,miserable and totally shocked by their every day drama. The inaction of the state government &
