Pakistan more "democratic" than us.

After 26 /11
Voices In Pakistan : Every political leadership and Govt officials airing their own version on Mumbai terror attack..its consipiracy theory angles...and information about the those involved...latest from their Navy Chief Nauman Bashir... and after every statements...the very next hr/ day comes the statements of contradictory claims.....retractions.....sacking of NSA, Attorney General...and story goes on...still continuing...

Voices In India: Lone Pranab da...has taken cudgel to reply Pakistani establishment...and few supporting rehtorics from 2-3 cabinet ministers...and occasional burps from Soniaji...

While observing the incidents aftermath of 26/11... in both these..country...only few would disgaree on the fact that "Pakistan is more democratic than us"...the reason very obvious...see the different voices and theories emanating from Pakistan..everybody worth pinch of salt has their views and explanations...where can you expect this... if not in Pakistani zamhurriat....

Bas Yun hi........

Last week I was going through intresting article in one of the leading newspaper....they have predicted that in India recession will fizz out by April...the reason...huge spending in the month of April.....Firstly the great Indian dance of democracy..LokSabha election is to happen and on the conservatives estimates...the spending is going to be around 4000 Cr....Secondly another great tamasha IPL is also scheduled in April-May....so another spending of 1000 Cr....Wow what a desi whopping idea to come out of recession...and intrestingly the article is backed by lots of research and economic theory...
May this article proves to be true and bail out the economy in some manner......
###################################################################
We also today did our bit to help the spending...and boosting up the economy....went out in supermarket to have packet of mushroom which costs some 28 bucks....when we reached there we were asked to wait for half an hour... as fresh stock will be replenished..... being sunday morning..we lazily moved around...gathering stuff which we really never wanted befor entering the store....shopped ...collected the stuff of more than1000 bucks....what economic booster sirjee....
but majedaar baat....when we walked out mushroom packet was yet to arrive..so we left...

####################################################################
Yesterday, I hit the theatre for Masakali.. Delhi - 6, with wife, a movie from heart by Rakesh Mehra. Certainly movie is overhyped but chalta hai......the film music is already a chartbuster..i liked the particulary Maula.... and Sasural Genda phool.....what a piece from maestro Rehman..wish him luck that he brings Oscar for us....lighting up the billion hopes....

Yeh Kyaa ho raha hai.........

Jan 24th 2008: The pub Amnesia is attacked by bunch of cowards hooligans of some Sri Ram Sena, in Manglore,Karnatka. Those preverts claims themseleves the saviour of Hindu Culture and Sanskriti by thrashing innocents girls in full public view...what a display of might...

The next follows as a ritual...political parties taking the sides...and slews of advocates "for" and "against" the episode..few arrests...

Then comes Muthalik emboldened by new found status created in media declaring that they are not going to allow Valentine Day Celebration..

Then again tonnes of prime time air debating on the issue..everyone to be the so called expert..voicing their honest opinions..political parties taking sides as per their own defined principles.....The Nation Debates .....

The pink chaddi campaign caughts up the imaginaton of the new forward looking....women and plans to send pink chaddi to Muthalik saheb....his sena plans it to retaliate by sending sarees in reply...

The drama continues.....

On the V day...news channel...gearing up to let loose the live TV coverages ..on the attack of V Day celebrating couple in public....different version of senas having their field day....

Feb 13th 2008 : Then comes sthg special from the Queen's land (UK)...a 13 yr old , baby faced Alfie Patten is dad of baby girl..this fellow even doesn't know..how much does the nappy cost !!

WOW !! Another glaring fall out of the western culture...teenage pregnancies

In midst of all these the little soul in me is confused...standing at the crossroads...not able to decide what is right.....we have....the young assertive and confident generation ready to take the world in their stride....on the other hand their very scared protective parents want to protect them from the evils of the blind aping westernized culture...

I don't know where this all is heading for.....the violence needs to be outrightly condemned..but debate is on.... Only GOD knows ....

Rightly said..Yeh kyaa ho raha hai....

Ram Ram sa...

So once again..I was at Chokhi Dhani...This was my sixth visit in last 3yrs..first in Mumbai..earlier ones were at Pune... For the sake of gyaan..In Mumbai it's well located near Bhiwandi naka on Mumbai-Nashik Highway...Every time I visit Chokhi Dhaani..I am on my knees..trying to devour everything which they have to offer...the desi rajasthani food...baajre ki roti..makki ki roti..sangri..curry..khichraa...dal baati churmaa...and many more to list down...with loads of sudhh ghee....

I tell you it's amazing experience to be there and have the real feel of traditional rajasthani village in the midst of city's humdrum..

I strongly recommend that visit at least once and spend a weekend evening there...I bet you will always keep coming back...It 's welcome relief from maddening Mall Culture....

This is really one of the great example of Power of Ideas...Hats off to the gentleman who thought of this novel idea and executed it successfully..What an Idea sirjee !!

Neend aa rahi hai...so guys Signing off
Cheers !!

@Liesure by chance

This week that wasn't....ha..ha....really good entertainment..when Cyrus Bharocha is there...On saturday after long time I celebrated Saraswati Puja..Yahan mumbai mein to log jaante tak nahin.. way back in Bihar-Jharkhand.. it's a huge festive mood amongst the student community....Abhi tak yaad aati hai pandalon mein moorti baithana..performing puja..and most important the bhasaan..with all the abirs and gulaals flying in the air...dhamaal on the beats of drum and keyboard..bhai fultoo masti.... realy makes you feel...nostalgic...missing those days...sayaad paying up the price of being grown ups and well settled in the rat race....

Yesterday caught up with movie Luck By Chance....surprising it happened by chance...we were going out for lunch...raaste mein poster dekhaa and made up the plan to be there...

Yaar kyaa movie banayee hai Joya Akhtar ne...ripped up the harsh reality of parde ke piche ki duniyaa...most rivetting performance was from Rishi Kapoor...what an acting dude....finally assault from the Baadshah Shahrukh Khan in 3-4 min scene gives you the whole essesnce of the life....
This scene is really touching and strikes the chord...So my friends go ahead and enjoy a very good movie...
