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.

Racial Attacks
Recent racial attacks against Indian in Australia/USA, has created repercussion across country, when there are world renowned prestigious institutions like IIM’s, IIT’s and REC’s across the country, however Indian students importune foreign universities for admission.
Its not that you don’t have good educational institutions in India, it is for the pride, and falsely adulation they expect to receive for their graduation in foreign university/college. Every foreign university are targeting Indian student to lure them, no doubt that they have a better facilities than Indian institutions, however with the money that every Indian student spends in abroad education, building that world class facilities in Indian institutions should be an overnight job. It is not an exaggeration, according to the recent statistical report US earns $500 Million annually from India, through this educational business, welcome to the open market. And the worst part is students who go there for education they don’t want to come back to India, they are ready to change the last drop of their blood to get the citizenship in that country, this is alarming the local residents one way or the other it is stealing there bread, which gives raise to such alarms and attacks.
India has faced recent Racial/Ethical attacks as well, and there were no such anguish activates except in couple of states, when Biharies and other north state people were brutally attacked in Maharashtra. The reasons are same, and this kind of alarms and communal attacks are spread across the country, tamilians ill-treated in Karnataka, Andharawals ill-treated in TamilNadu, the list is endless across the globe.
I was not surprised by the exclusive stunt by Bachan, by dishonoring the Australian varsity award, it will definitely help him for his political carrier, he didn’t dishonored the State when UP people where brutally attacked in Maharashtra, except for his condemn, after all old fox needs no training. Slogans of “Bharath Mata ki Jay” in Melbourne by importuned students is a joke, there ostracism towards India was well known.
It is true that my fellow brother (Indian) was attacked on racial grounds I condemn it, at the same time don’t impute the attacker, I’m not encouraging the attacking, I’m asking don’t give the opportunity for such attacking. Rather ostracizing Indian institutions, help in guiding the government in improving the facilities. I’m not asking to forbid the abroad universities, study there for knowledge and not for Pride and falsely adulation, which you expect to receive.

Tolerant vs Enlightment
Once Paul and his friends were travelling through woods to distant town, Paul found a dead Hare with 3 legs, and said to his friends its strange with 3 legs Hare’s are so swift, one of his friend giggled and said “No, Paul Hare’s have 4 legs”, which agitated Paul and said “don’t you see Hare has got only 3 legs, I’ve it right in my Hand”. Paul’s friend said, may be this Hare is handicapped or lost one in an accident, Hare’s have 4 legs, check with our friends if you want, without any doubt every one said “yes, Hare’s have 4 legs”.
Paul was not able to accept it, he got a hare in his hands with 3 legs, said to his friends “just because you all chorus it doesn’t mean it has got 4 legs, I’ve one in my hand as proof with 3 legs, so all Hare’s should have 3 legs, if you all say it has got 4 legs, show me the proof with at least one hare with 4 legs” now all the friends are in trouble, find a live hare in woods is not an easy task, more over they have to capture it so that they can show to there friend Paul.
Friends started hunting for a hare, they spent hours after hours, all in vain, and returned empty handed to Paul, and said they cant find one, Paul said you cant find one because there is none, just by side passed a hunter with a hunted hare in his hand, that was relief to all the friends, and showed the hare to Paul, unfortunately has shot the hare on one of its leg, which has chopped its leg, and it has got only 3 legs, which strengthen the Paul’s claim, friends want to get out of the argument and leave Paul to live in his belief, but at the same they don’t want Paul to live in something which is not correct.
They decided to hunt for the hare again, and this time after several hours they manage to hunt one, and showed the same to Paul, to there astonishment, Paul said “may be your hare has got one extra limb, just like you claimed mine as handicapped, as I have two hares with just 3 legs, and you got only one with 4, to consider this I need more evidences”. Now all the friends were stunned, and were about to give up, as it become more difficult to prove hare’s have 4 legs, however they don’t want their friend to be an ignorant. They went in search of hares again and they came out with couple of hare’s fortunately all with 4 legs.
Paul verifying all the hares leg said “you all took whole day to find hares with four legs, where only me found hares with 3 legs in few hours, so it seems to find hares with four legs are rare and with 3 legs are common, as per my knowledge I infer that hares with 3 legs are more than the hares with 4 legs, I accept that hares have 4 legs, however it seems that hares with 3 legs are common, what you all say?
This dumbed all the friends.

For The Sake Of Argument
For away from home, in the other part of the world, is the sickest thing that I can ever imagine, however, staying with friends who are warm and friendly people to work with, then take it for granted, you are in heaven, I’m in Boston most of the year since last year, I started enjoying this, on the social view it has given me different dimension, I’m a person for a physiological quest, I was in an assumption that I know enough about the people where I live, and it is shattered by one of my friend staying with me in Boston.
We often get into arguments sometimes it becomes really hot and heavy, but only verbal clashes within dignity. I’m going to discuss few such arguments here, it was a fine spring noon, with clear sky and all, at a distant place in the sky I saw a light, so bright and all, I showed that to Bharath and asked him what it would be, Bharath had a lazy look at it and said “it is an airplane” I said dude cannot be, it is so bright outside and a clear sky, and sun is brighter outside, moreover the light is not flashing, I said “it cannot be a flight”, in just a wink the light disappeared, I called Bharath again and asked him where did the light go?, its not there anymore, he reluctantly answered, probably the flight has landed, I again stressed, it cannot be an airplane and kept mum, and I was thinking in myself, may be Bharath is correct, it is an airplane, however I was not convinced, that it could be a flight.
As to break the silence, Bharath asked “if that is not an airplane, what do you think it is?” I sincerely don’t have an answer, I thought for a second or so and gave an insane answer it might be an UFO, I know it totally doesn’t make any sense, I just want to cut it off there, but it turned out to be an argument when Sripall said “Good, atleast you did say it is Krishna’s Chakra”, I know he got pissed off, it really showed the Sripall’s frustration, let me try to explain about Sripall, he is man who needs a scientific explanation to support any statement, and he may or may not accept the logical explanation, he is an atheist to the core, but practices Zen and Tao philosophy, without even knowing it. Anything without a scientific explanation pisses him off, So there is no wonder that he got pissed off when I say it is an UFO, as there is no scientific explanation for UFO.
And I don’t know whether knowing the heat Bharath changed the topic, or it is just a coincidence, he started teasing, the way I use introduce myself to others, though my first name is Gopi, I like to refer myself as Krishna which is my last name. Bharath asked its your name after all, why don’t you like your first name, and I questioned him why don’t you call me the way I prefer to be called, Sripall joined Bharath asking me, why you don’t like your first name, I seriously don’t want answer that question, to Sripall, as my answer is not supported by any scientific experiments or may be it is, but I don’t have the reference, so I avoided it and bluntly said, just call me the way I preferred to be called. Bharath said that I got pissed off to Sripall, and I said “No, I was not pissed off”, Bharath keep saying that I’m pissed off, and I drafted a reference to prove that I was not pissed off and said “if what Sripall said is due to frustration, when I mentioned the bright object as UFO, I can understand why you people are saying that I’m pissed off, otherwise it doesn’t make any sense to me”, and there was pin drop silence for a min or so both there faces are blank.
Bharath concluded that I’m really pissed off, but I’m not till this point, all I was trying is to, make them understand that I’m not pissed off, after this point I started asking myself, why I need to prove that I’m not frustrated, and that frustrated me.
I’m not sure have they got my logical reference and still thinking that I’m just referenced something insanely let me know if any of you before I start digging it further…

Black Revolution
Major power cuts, and sweat shower is quite common for the people in TamilNadu, I’ll not be exaggerating if I say that people are having sweat dreams rather sweet dreams, even in the dreams they don’t see light due to power failure, I swear I’m not joking.
Last weekend there was 16 hours power cut in the place where I live I went crazy usually the power cut will be for two hours from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, daily, at around 10:30 AM I called the TNEB enquiring about the issue, they said they have some problem to fix, I got pissed off, I questioned why didn’t they do it, in those two hours, which was a schedule (actually this is not scheduled either) power shutdown, the response was terrific thou, “ we haven’t scheduled this job at that time thou” was the response from the other end, he is really getting into my nervous, I politely asked him again, when is the power restoration expected, again a terrific response “will restore once the job is completed”, and banged the phone without giving any stipulated period.
I decided to chew the fat with some books and all, however unable to chew much, I going reckless called them again and again at one hour intervals, and was getting a monotonous reply “will restore once the maintenance task is completed”. Around 4:00 PM or so, I become so reckless and bullets in my guts started firing, I called them again and fired them with unparliamentarily (may be parliamentary) words, to my fate, this time the phone was answered by a woman, I was embarrassed she sounded to be the age of my mother, and she probably never would have expected such words when she was about to answer the phone, some how she managed to responded to my call, with shivering voice (may be because of shock) she said, “Sir, we are not responsible for the maintenance job, please wait I’ll give you the number where you can reach them directly” and she gave me the number and she apologized for the inconvenience caused and simply banged the phone, without knowing how to respond.
I called the other number, feeling sorry for her, for using such an abuse words, and the conversation went like this:
Me: EB department.
EB: Yes
Me: Sir, there was a power cut in my house for the past 10 hours or so, I’m residing at Perrianna Ngr.
EB: Yes sir, the maintenance job is going on, once it is completed the power will resume.
Me: Cut that crap, for the past 10 hrs, what the hell are you doing? Are you not paid? Is there any one in your department who is willing to work at least for the 50% of the amount they are getting paid for? Don’t you people feel guilty for not doing any work and getting paid?
EB: Sir, we strain a lot, don’t you understand that we are working and not playing, it will take time. You have to wait. (He was dominating rather dictating that I’ve to wait)
Me: Hey, stop yelling at me, I’m the customer, and you have to give me the estimated time period for this task, I can’t shower myself with sweat, I’m stinking myself, even if they construct a bridge they will give an estimation, why cant you give me the time, when the power will be restored? Are you such novice workers?
EB: I don’t have to give you all that info?
(He was about to hang up, I interrupted)
Me: I’m recording the call, and I’ll file a case against you for your irresponsibility, give me your section engineer number I’ll speak to him
(He gave me the section Engineer number, and he was shivering like Hell, I could feel, I called the section Engineer)
Me: Hello, Am I speaking with Balaji?
Balaji: yes
Me: Are you the section Engineer, in TNEB? (Just to confirm)
Balaji: Yes, who is this?
Me: This is Krishna, from Perianna Ngr, and there is a power shut down for the past 10 hours or so? May I know whatz going on?
Balaji: Yes sir, there is a maintenance job going on, will resume once it is completed.
Me: Balaji, this is insane, there was an unscheduled, scheduled power shutdown daily from 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM, even after a State Electricity minister has requested to stop such shut downs, do you have any sensible answers?
Balaji: Sir, first you need to understand, that if I have enough electricity, I don’t need to shut it down, there is a huge scarcity for the power across the sate, you sound to be sensible, and I believe you know, that state government is approving licenses huge factories, who consume lion share of the state power, because of that there is huge scarcity for the same, it is partially true, that the power shut down has been taken out only in the major cities of the state, and people in the outskirts of the city are forced to suffer minimum of 2 hours power shutdown, and in the cities there is still power shutdown in the name of unforeseen issues. I can feel the heat in your shoes, give me 30 mins time, I’ll make arrangement to resume power for you.
Me: Thank you, Sir.
And in 10 mins, the power was resumed, and the words of the Balaji, are lingering in my ears, the state government knowing that we cant afford electricity to those big industries, they still welcome them, for huge bribe scandal, and they are projected as the employment opportunities to the public, even yesterday state government has provided licenses to two major industries at the estimated price of 1500 Cr, lightning 3000 job seekers but pushing 300,000 people to dark.
Blaming the previous government for not providing enough sources of energy management is bull shit, state government is just horsing around, obviously they will, when people are sheep’s, its high time for them to stuff their bank accounts
Last weekend there was 16 hours power cut in the place where I live I went crazy usually the power cut will be for two hours from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, daily, at around 10:30 AM I called the TNEB enquiring about the issue, they said they have some problem to fix, I got pissed off, I questioned why didn’t they do it, in those two hours, which was a schedule (actually this is not scheduled either) power shutdown, the response was terrific thou, “ we haven’t scheduled this job at that time thou” was the response from the other end, he is really getting into my nervous, I politely asked him again, when is the power restoration expected, again a terrific response “will restore once the job is completed”, and banged the phone without giving any stipulated period.
I decided to chew the fat with some books and all, however unable to chew much, I going reckless called them again and again at one hour intervals, and was getting a monotonous reply “will restore once the maintenance task is completed”. Around 4:00 PM or so, I become so reckless and bullets in my guts started firing, I called them again and fired them with unparliamentarily (may be parliamentary) words, to my fate, this time the phone was answered by a woman, I was embarrassed she sounded to be the age of my mother, and she probably never would have expected such words when she was about to answer the phone, some how she managed to responded to my call, with shivering voice (may be because of shock) she said, “Sir, we are not responsible for the maintenance job, please wait I’ll give you the number where you can reach them directly” and she gave me the number and she apologized for the inconvenience caused and simply banged the phone, without knowing how to respond.
I called the other number, feeling sorry for her, for using such an abuse words, and the conversation went like this:
Me: EB department.
EB: Yes
Me: Sir, there was a power cut in my house for the past 10 hours or so, I’m residing at Perrianna Ngr.
EB: Yes sir, the maintenance job is going on, once it is completed the power will resume.
Me: Cut that crap, for the past 10 hrs, what the hell are you doing? Are you not paid? Is there any one in your department who is willing to work at least for the 50% of the amount they are getting paid for? Don’t you people feel guilty for not doing any work and getting paid?
EB: Sir, we strain a lot, don’t you understand that we are working and not playing, it will take time. You have to wait. (He was dominating rather dictating that I’ve to wait)
Me: Hey, stop yelling at me, I’m the customer, and you have to give me the estimated time period for this task, I can’t shower myself with sweat, I’m stinking myself, even if they construct a bridge they will give an estimation, why cant you give me the time, when the power will be restored?
