Fatalistic or Unrealistic

On a Saturday morning, after a rhubarb cricket match, I was heading back home along with my friends Sripall, Rajan and Vijay. We took a train to beach station, as we pass by several pit stops, we all noticed one thing, entraining commuters don’t even care for detraining passengers, they didn’t give enough room to detrain and every one were taking this barbaric action for granted, including my friends, when I outrageously said why they are behaving like cattle’s, all my friends unanimously shouted at me to stop jiving at them. One thing I don’t understand when the car is already full, you push and crush yourself, in that jam packed car like cattle, by intruding into others space for which you don’t even excuse, you don’t even feel bad, and you call this as adjustment, but actually you are compromising, you are compromising on your pride, your self respect your liberty last but not the least your dignity.

Why you want to compromise on your private space, as per the Human rights commission of India and Indian Law, your liberty stops where others starts, it also includes your private space, you don’t share the public restrooms with your neighbor just because he is about to blast his bladder, either you wait or make him wait, but for sure you don’t share the space. Though these rules don’t apply in train, however logic does. When the train that you are about travel, gets delayed don’t you gather all buddy passengers and block the other train which is on time, forcing it to get delayed as well, sharing the pain and un-comfortableness instead of joy and happiness to your fellow commuters, redefining socialism.

Now let’s see the arguments that you come up to support your compromising act, inadequate trains, delayed frequencies, procrastinative authorities and deprecative ministries, you blame them all as if you are perfect and promptitude , how many times you raised your concerns to the respective authorities about the sanitary conditions in the trains/buses you travel? How many times you raised your concern to the authorities to increase the frequency of the bus/trains that you travel? Have you ever taken time to notice that in a bus that there are only 25 passengers are allowed to travel as standees? If you have noticed that and till wish to travel as the 26th standee passenger, what you expect me to call you as human or cattle? Cattle cant read, so there are NGO’s to regulate there transport, but you are a human being, you took the pride of being the superior of all creations, you claim to have the sixth sense, however you lack that basic common sense that you should not travel as 26th standee passenger where only 25 standees are allowed.

I know you can come up with several lame excuses, you might be running out of time to office, is that not a lack of time management? There might not be sufficient services after that service? As mentioned earlier, have you raised that concern to the respective authorities? Have you discussed about this with your co-passengers and enlightened them? It is not illogical or unrealistic, what I’m suggesting is practical, and I’m practicing. When Karl Marx suggested the theory of communism, the theory is for 80% needy who were getting crushed by 20% of privileged however his communist theory was called impractical and illogical by those needy, and it was called as unrealistic by the privileged group, however now 20% of that communist country threatens the 80% of the democratic, secularist and capitalistic theories. When Raja Ram MohanRoy was preaching against Sati, he was ridiculed by the society, saying that the reformation is impossible however now you can’t even find the meaning for the word Sati in the dictionary. When society was filled with Theist and theology myths, there was only one spark that rose into fire to burn out the myths, the spark of Atheism is later known as Periyar. When the world was following the foot steps of violence, there was one pair which detour and walked towards non-violence, MohanDas Karamchand Ghandi, later known as Mahatma, superior of all souls.

They all were pooh-poohed by their friends, relatives and family members for theories, claimed them as impractical, however, these theories later become renowned theories. It is true that they suffered a lot to reach this stage, they reincarnated from there dead fish life, yes we are leading a dead fish life, which stinks for those who don’t know how to cook (Enemies) and it’s an appetizer for those who knows to cook (Friends). It’s true that we are leaving for others we are just like that dead fish, only others determine whether we stink or not. The day we start leaving for our own, we will learn from the world and we preach world.

Is that not true, that you feel agitated when some one crushes you in the bus/train, and you still stay like dead fish killing your emotions, you surely want to warn that person, but in that jam packed bus, you fear that your voice may not be heard. You keep yourself mum, if you are in pleasant mood you call this as adjustment/compromise, and if you are disturbed you call this as fatalistic. However once your start knowing this as your irresponsibility you start seeing changes. It doesn’t mean you have to be emotionally jugular but responsible.

A Wednesday on Sunday

On a Sunday noon, getting increasingly bored by regular TV programmes and movies, thought of taking a break and watch this movie “A Wednesday”, which raised my eye brows, is this an Indian movie? Is the first question which rose in my mind. The movie was meticulously screen played, astronomically photographed the Aam Adami’s (A stupid common man) feelings and emotions.

For a naked eye movie seems to be a bunch of insane techniques, fortunately for such insane eye’s movie does provide enough logic, its true that world wide web teaches how to build all 007 gadgets to common man, if and only if he want explore and learn, that too free of cost. If this web would have exploded much earlier, Bhagat Singh wouldn’t have blasted the courtyard, anyways I wanna steal this opportunity to share Bhagat Singh’s intention, and he is the first Aam Adami, (to my knowledge) who exploded within and carefully utilized media to share and publish his thoughts, Nasuruddin Shah (Aam Adami) followed the same foot steps.

It is an undeniable truth that today common man’s life is not secured, thou leaders rant about the common’s security, frequent bomb blasts pooh-poohs that. Is that not true that common man’s wife call him at least 10 times a day to check if he is ok, the call may be disguised each time as it is a regular call to check, whether he had lunch and all, is that not true that common’s mother worries about his travel in train after a series of train blast. Is that not a common man’s attitude, if the train that he missed was blasted none but everyone killed, for which he thanks god for saving his life and there goes offering for saving him from tomorrow. Take an example of recent Mumbhai blast, even after several months, there are no verdicts, no punishments and there are no proper evidence.

Are our race effeted? What happened to our so called culture and civilization, which used to care for other, is that morbided? Where is our sixth sense? We are living like animals disguising as homo-sapiens.

A Wednesday raised all these questions, this is Aam Adami, and we are falling prey to congress Aam Adami, it is Aam Adami’s tax money and task force life, the politicians are playing with, what is the point in capturing a terrorist when he will be set free down the line, are we making a joke of our self? I pooh-pooh those who call this against human rights, human rights are for humans not for terrorists, and don’t loose your brains by calling them as humans when they have no sign of humanity.

As rightly said in the movie, don’t wait for your family members or relations or friends to be the victim of such blasts, I don’t even suggest to have a steel balls like Nasuruddin Shah in the movie, at least condemn the wrong and report the same to authorities in charge, how many of us do this? How many of us report a rash driving to traffic police? How many of us report a public nuisance to the cop? We always tend to safe guard our home, when our neighbors are in fire, forgetting that the fire will catch us soon. It’s true in all cases. Its time to evolve for the revolution and this time, it’s the revolution for humanity and not for power.

Budget 2009-10

It seems to be a bilateral agreement between the rich and power, thou Pranab started the budget with congress tantric word “Aam Adami”, Pranab pooh-poohed the common man’s interest, increasing the income tax slab Aam Adami can say only say a max of INR 8.22 which is a huge money for Aam Adami to buy a car with 2000cc capacity and LCD TV, probably now it’s the state government turn to distribute free LCD TV’s as they become lower in price.

At the birds eye view, the budget has no radical impressions, but filled with rational decisions on poor and needy, overall budget has only increase and decrease in the margins rather benefits and action plans. There were no plans to bring the faulted money from foreign banks, and we are sure that India is not a corrupt free country.

There are no steps for taken to fund foreign banks from poor Indian’s taxes, no proper regulation has been imposed on SEBI to invest or disinvest foreign exchange in Indian markets. There is not even eyesight on money laundry, forget about the steps to control, especially at this recession stage, money laundry plays a vital role in controlling a country’s economy. Never forget poverty leads to terrorism and other anti-social activities.

First the railway budget which was joke, followed by the general budget, Indians had become puppets to congress and congress to foreign elements, days are not so far where Quttorichi can become the Defense minister, as after bofers with 600 crore INR corruption, his next deal is to buy fighter jets for IAF for 1000 + Cr INR.

When Indian scientists are sweating like hell to complete TEJAS, and all they running short is few hundred crores, for which congress government has no funds but can afford to spend 1000 CR on foreign jets. What a patriotic move.
