YEAR After 26/11


an year passed so quickly that people could not believe how it passed!! It all started in the late hours of 26th Nov, 2008. Busy lives of mumbaikars were disturbed by audacious attacks of the enemies who invaded their lives with the only idea of shattering them. Hours turned into days and finally the NSG could clean all the mess clearing the rodents out of the way. Few days passed and the mumbaikar is back to his normal busy life running for local trains, munching vadapav in the trains and finally reaching the destinations just in time!! Whole of the world saluted the stoical nature of the mumbaikar. Bollywood responded that mumbaikars are tough enough to go through the pain, the home minister says what happened was a small incident given the size of mumbai and the whole country shared the pain. But one question people conviniently ignore is "Is the mumbaikar stoical by choice?" a big NO is the answer. the mumbaikar is stoical or pretends to be stoical because he has no other option. He is stoical because he dont want to see the starving deaths of his kids, he dont want to get laid off for the not coming to office. It is because of this compulsion that the mumbaikar is stoical. Similar thing happened when floods damaged Mumbai sometime in 2005-06. poeple compared the floods with katrina hurricane and said mumbaikars are back to work than the Americans, so mumbaikars are great! Mumbaikars are not great for going back to work so soon,
they are great for their commitment to their families as going out mean endangering their own life, they are great for bearing the pain, they are great for silently accepting the failure of the state as their own failure, they are definitely great for living such a life,
they are great because they are "MUMBAIKARS"
SALAAM MUMBAI
LONGLIVE MUMBIKARS
INDIA IS PROUD OF YOU!!!

May 10th has come and its Mom's birthday..its a long time since I want to write about amma.. talking about amma and talking with amma is definitely a great feeling..  Photo Courtesy: Rajkumar I was  staying away from home starting 2005 and even today after six years whenever I call home she starts the conversation with one standard sentence "I was thinking of you and you called me" . Irrespective of the time she will tell the same because all through the day she will think of me.. when I got my first promotion and told her about it she tells me "If you tell these kind of news I would like to live some more years".. At that time she was just recovering from some blood clots in her brain.. She was not just a mother but more of a moral support who taught me a lot of things.. thats my mom!! one thing that stands out in my mother is her commitment to the family's cause.. she is definitely the strongest pillar of my family. Whatever my family does

where r we goin???

i had a fren named Amritesh who is an active member of Bharath Uday Mission kanpur chapter. though i'm not a member of that chapter i 've the habit of discussing about our nation's future prospects with him. last night our discussion turned on to a concept called "nation's development through self development of individual" i strongly believe that this is the only way to develop our nation. people like motilal nehru, Hegdevar envisioned this long ago but the concept failed to reach the masses of the nation. In the present day i found only Vijay kumar sir of VIMP(my institute) is carrying the flag of self development. two incidents in the recent past provoked me to believe in this philosophy. they are: Infamous Rakhi Sawant Case: in this case rakhi sawant publicly admitted that she has kissed mika on his cheek and has no problem if he replied similarly. she attended the party with no cover on her back and a shot instead of trouser.(i feel ashamed to describe
