When shoes and slippers failed, came the SLAP!!!

For the past few years, shoeing and throwing slippers are a way of venting out angers at politicians and big shots. Some of the notable events were at George Bush in Baghdad in 2008 and at Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao at London in  2009. These are some of the happenings in the international scenario. What is the impact of these happenings in India. Certain Indian extremists and patriots resorted to throwing slippers, as shoe prices were also costly just like the essential commodity and to vent out their anger, it would be costlier for an Indian.

Some of the notable events in India of throwing slippers/shoeing started with Home Minister, Mr. P.Chidambram, upon whom a shoe was hurled by a brave Sikh journalist, which unfortunately went off its trajectory, just like a GSLV rocket. Even Indian Prime Minister was attacked and he was also missed by few meters. Other notable persons are former Karnataka Chief Minister, Mr. B.S.Yedyurappa and L.K.Advani,  a senior person of opposition party in Indian politics. All these above events happened in year 2009 and courtesy to wikipedia.

Let us drop the International affairs and come to Indian scenario. Why this shoeing is happening!? Answer is known to politics. It is a known secret. People want to show their anger against corrupt politicians and they resort to these kind of activities and whether it hits or misses, they get arrested. 

"India is the largest corrupt democratic nation." Country is under the control of corrupt MPs both in the Centre as well as in the State level. Indians, poor people, have no choice. They first elect a political party thinking that they are better than the previous one. But when the elected ones come to power, they slowly unwind their tails and abuse the power given to them either to fulfil their needs or finish their political vendettas. Tired of food inflation, price rise, scams and what not, an average Indian in every part of the country is so angry that they cannot express their anger.

Then came the "anti-corruption crusader", who was a ray of hope for the Indian masses. Joined with many notable faces and getting support from many social network sites as well as through hunger strikes and campaign for the sake of getting a strong Lokpal Bill enacted, his efforts was put to test by the Centre. The Government, as usual resorted to its nasty tricks of delaying the issue so that the people will forget. I believe the crusader has been crucified.

"If you don't like something, try to change it or change yourself according to it" goes the saying. In India, except for handful, many change and adapt to whatever the Government says and do the same with a grumble. Who are those handful?

From pre-independence, till date, Indians are classified either based on caste or domicile. Earlier by Britishers and now by the politicians. All said and done, these Sikhs are to be adored and admired, for they are rightfully called as "Lions of Punjab." Earlier, they were known for their contribution to agriculture and now they are almost in all facets of the Indian economy, as well as in abroad. In every Sikh household, one child is separately groomed for Indian army and that is why we are having Sikh Regiment. Unlike other Indians, who are just made of blood and flesh, Sikhs are made of bravery and patriotism.

Why is this lavish praise for Sikhs? They only have the boldness to stand against the corrupt suo moto when compared to other Indians, who don't even have back bone. Others just want food grains from public distribution system and pay off their taxes and voice out against the corrupt indirectly like me through blogs or news papers. They effectively accept money from politicians to exercise their fundamental duty of voting. What a shame and I am also ashamed!! Leave these issues.

Hats off to the courageous man who slapped Mr. Sharad Pawar, Minister of Agriculture and Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution. This slap is not for Mr. Pawar, but for the entire corrupt Ministers. Many condemned, but only these people who condemned provoked the people to such an extent that, at least by slapping them, they shall be awakened.

It is high time that the politicians in India stop this activity of burning a middle class man's money for their luxury, because they should always look back and look ahead. It started with a slipper and now with a slap. If corruption as well as people's mood is left unchecked, something unimaginable might happen which is not new to the family of Congress or end up in a civil war. 

Mend your ways, you corrupt jerks!!!

Biased Media in a Puppet Democracy!!!

1. NEWS FLASH: Popular actress divorced her Ex-Boy friend.

What is so flashy here, I mean why this news deserves attention. In Bollywood, if you are a successful actor, then it is understood that you are like a waste paper basket. Only the waste papers inside is thrown and not the basket. So divorcing and marrying is like having a cup of coffee for them.

It should not come in flash news, but GAS news. Crazy Indian media, who once again make Indian people, still more foolish

2. BREAKING NEWS: Maharashtra Cricket Board has agreed to give 100 gold coins to Sachin Tendulkar (not Sachin Pilot) if he hits a century and completes 100 centuries in Test Cricket.

This news is bit sensible, but unfit to be categorised in BREAKING NEWS. Every piece of rubbish in some news channels are shown as "breaking news", with a guy shouting in his high pitch asking the people related to the issue whether, what has happened in right or wrong and make them shout too and there will be a multiple screen telecast. Finally, these kind of jerks land up fighting law suits filed against them.

Coming back to the second news, i.e. the gift of Maharashtra Cricket Board to Sachin - It is quite obvious that he will hit a ton and giving 100 gold coins and all is too much. Don't make the rich, still richer. There are better batsmen than this Sachin in same Maharashtra and those gold can be used to train them. Once again, Maharashtra Cricket Board wants cheap publicity and after they rewarding, BCCI will follow them because it is a matter of pride for them.

Cricket - one of the stupid games found by a group of stupid people and lavishly praised by the stupidest country.


3. PATHETIC NEWS: India won 2011 Kabaddi World Cup.


Man 1: What is Kabaddi?
Man2: Did Sachin and Dhoni played with other team members?
Woman3: Morons! Kabaddi is not cricket, for Sachin and Dhoni to play.
(When I heard this I got relieved, but when she continued, I got a severe headache).
Kabaddi is similar to that of Gilly Kricket (desi game, similar to cricket).
(Oh no. These Indians will RIP with Bats and Balls only).


What an obsession towards cricket, cheap news and crazy politics. Is this all what India has got?


Team India won Kabaddi World Cup and it was not even telecasted in TV (leave Doordharshan - still remains unclassified). Many wants to know about Sachin, Aishwrya Rai's daughter, Raja and Kanimozhi, Rahul vs. Maya and not but not the least, is Manmohan Singh a "Dummy Prime Minister" (for which, the whole nation knows the answer.)

I really cannot understand, why media is still covering either known issues or probing into personal affairs of big shots life. It is like peeping into one's bathroom when someone is taking bath and that is what the Indian Media is doing instead of covering unexplored beautiful nature outside, which are craving for attention.


Please do some Home Work and do not always focus upon TRP ratings. Do take this as a healthy criticism for Indian media is claimed to be the media of the "so called largest democratic country in the world." Having such a reputation, you guys should elevate your levels.

Morning Walk - Adyar Bridge

I was advised by the doctor to go for walking because of my sudden increase in weight and I dilegently followed what he said. From my childhood days itself, I was very inqusitive and I always question things or go in search of things till I get satisfied personally. I have frequently heard my dad saying that he used to go by cycle to office before his marriage and he used to cross the Adyar bridge, which is not being used now as it became very weak and was forced to abandon.

A new bridge was constructed parllel to the old one and the new one has been put to use. I always craved to go to the old bridge which was abandoned and it was blocked tokeep public away from it. Few years later, the State Government came with a plan to construct one more bridge to meet the increasing traffic in between the 2 bridges and the construction work of a fresh bridge began.

 

This morning, I went for walking till the bridge in which traffic was closed and I could see a new bridge was being constructed in between. The water flowing beneath the bridge was untreated sewage water and I really did not know how those workers manage to work under those horrible conditions. They had raised a temporary structures for staying in the beginning of the abandoned bridge and many steel sheets and rods were scattered for the construction of fresh bridge.

I knew that there was a way to reach the abandoned bridge, and I casually walked inside entrance of the old bridge and asked the watchman, if I can further proceed. He allowed me and I strolled in and after proceeding further, what I could find was horrible smell from the water which I got used. After one point, the labourers out there started to give a strange look at me, which made me uncomfortable and hence I had to come back to the entrance and asked the watchman, if there is a way to get up there. He asked me to go to the other side.

I had to take the main bridge, where the traffic was open and the pavement for the pedestrians were too narrow that if someone is going to walk on it, he will surely fall down from the bridge in the Adyar river flowing down. So I had to walk all the way on the road along with the traffic and reached the other side of the old bridge. To my horror, I just found 2 pipes connecting the broken bridge and one has to walk over the the pipes to reach the bridge, else, the same result like walking on pavement.

I carefully walked upon the pipe and reached the old bridge and to my right side, I saw the beautiful sea far away, where the river underneath goes and meets the sea, with an island and few islets in the middle of the river. On my left, I found the bridge which was full of traffic. Then 2 workers came to me and described their works and what sort of difficulties they undergo and the proposal to raise the new bridge and completely abandon the old bridge. I listened to them patiently and then walked over the old bridge which was said to be pulled down soon.

I relished all those moments of walking in that bridge finding the river flowing underneath. Though, it was having a real bad smell, I was just praying God that the Government would clean up this wonderful river which was once used as inland water transport.
