Little Devil ...

I gotta blog this for sure as I am so damn excited about that whole incident. I was walking into my apartment after work and I usually take stairs instead of LIFT, when I was walking up, I heard a sweet little voice from nowhere and it said "Uncle, can you please see if Siddartha is around ?" It actually took me a while to see from where and which direction that sweet little voice is coming, I then rolled my eyes towards the window pane and to my shock I see this cute little girls hanging with her hands tightly holding the grills, she must be 3+ years old and holding a window pane and hanging in the air would be painful for grown-up like us and I don't know how she managed. I was not sure if I can get her down, but I asked "Who is Siddartha ?", and she insisted on me checking in the corridor ...

I checked there and I could not find anyone at her age group and I said, Siddartha is not there. She requested me to get her down and GOD only knows how she went there. I asked what her flat number is, she could not answer that, so I took a walk in the corridor and looked out if someone is searching for this cute little girl. She was busy cleaning her dirty hands on my white t-shirt and gave me a wide smile. I asked her name and she said "Aswathi, New Horizon School, Daughter of Siddartha and Anusha", then only I came to know that Siddartha is her dad and not her friend. It was nice to see that they have trained her so well to give the complete details when someone asks her name. I again asked her, does she know her flat number, then I sensed that they might have moved in new to this apartment and then they would not have taught this little one on the door number. I took her to the security and then asked him which flat this little angel belongs to. Security too was clueless.

I just could not leave her there and then go to my apartment as I could not find anyone, I decided to wait with her for a while to see if someone is coming up. She coolly sat next to me on the stairs and was keeping her hands folded on her cheeks and asked me

"What are you doing ?"

"Hmm, I go to office"

"My dad also goes to office" and she pinches me hard on my shoulder and said "Same pinch"

She looked at my blackberry and asked "This is cell phone right ? I know" and I said "Yes, and do you have one?" I asked

"Oh yaa, I have one" and to my shock she took out a Blackberry from her pocket and I was about to faint and she continued and for this only my dad is searching me, and this time I felt dizzy. Within seconds, I heard a voice from the car park "Aswathiiiiiiiiiiii" and that's it, she said "Hey run, come on lets hide before Siddartha catches us", and I was like "Whattttttttttttt ??", and I took her by her arms, went down, handed her to her dad and she was screaming "You cheat ... you don't know how to play hide and seek", his dad thanked me for finding his daughter as well as his blackberry and I asked which flat number he stays and he threw me the real bomb saying he stays in "Sarovar Apartments" which is 3 flats next to my apartment.

Shiv Sena - Terrorists of INDIA

Touch your heart and tell me, aren't we sick of these "Sena" group which haunts MUMBAI and our entire nation ? What the hell they think of themselves ? Death is visiting every house in this world and why can't it go and visit the SENA's house once and then clear them all ? Their atrocity is going beyond the tolerable limit of every INDIAN, if this would have been a kind of gang anywhere else outside INDIA, the government would have wiped them off in a day. That gang injects venom into our community and corrupts the mind of every INDIAN. Who the hell are they to dictate terms on matters which they are not at all related to ? Today I was shocked to see an interview given by one of the jerk from that gang, he is saying "We will allow not any PAK / AUS player to come to INDIA and play cricket ..."

What I hate the most in INDIA is every community is so bloody fond of their language and try acting as if they want to protect that and if not those languages wud never exist and that to me is bull shit. In Tamil Nadu a jerk is ruling the state and try's every possible thing to make "TAMIL" as the only spoken language in that state. In Karnataka another jerk of a group called "Kannada Rakshana Vedike" which is spewing venom on Tamil people and they on their own have started a grudge between those two communities, and they talk as if "Kannada" is the prime most language in INDIA and everyone should learn their education only thru that medium. Similarly we have jerks everywhere in this country but nothing can match like this sickening sena's who were so damn pressing on MUMBAI and forcing non-marathi speaking people to get out of that city. I am surprised that the MUMBAI government is not taking any measures to stop this ever growing menace.

When the government is bold enough to put a rule saying that the individuals cannot and should not air their political or religious views on their blog or website or social networking sites which would provoke communal violence, why they hell they can't put a ban to the daily called "Saamna" which is owned by the SENA group and which literally provokes the marathi's into violence ? I am very much sure that none of the educated community would back the SENA's and it is only that gang of illiterates and brainless idiots who form a gang and support them. Considering the fact that INDIA is a democratic country (I still suppose it is still the fact), any city in this country is a FREE to live for any INDIAN citizen and what these SENA group is trying to do by not allowing any non-marathi's people to live there, is beyond explanation of DEMOCRACY. What the hell this fucking INDIAN government is doing ? They are targeting every VIP of this country and the latest victim is SRK.

Cricket is a SPORT and tying that to a religion or a community or to any bilateral ties with a country is BULL SHIT to me. I too strongly condemn the act of IPL leaving the Pakistan players in the dark and to me that was done intentionally to rub the wounds against Pakistan. That should not have happened, Pakistan is a far more talented team than INDIAN cricket team and I swear by this statement, barring Sachin Tendulkar no one in the INDIAN team has the fire in the belly to win matches for our country, but Pakistan on the other hand are known to be fighters and they never lack the fire power in them. If we consider talent as the key to enter into IPL, I would have definitely expected most of the Pakistan players being picked up for the auction. It’s a grave mistake IPL has done and they have to do something to repair the damage. The SENA gang is a gang of maniac's and giving any importance to them is more like allowing cancer to grow inside your body. It's high time we INDIAN's act fast and get rid of such anti-social elements, they are worst than terrorists.

Rahul Dhulhaniya Le Jaayenge ...

"Oh no, not again" was my first reaction when I came to know that Rahul Mahajan is doing something similar to what "Raaki Savgraaki" did ... oops, I am sorry "Raaki Saawant" did. Do we still have audience to watch such horrible shows ? The last time the entire nation was glued to their TV sets as if their own daughter is getting married and finally after all the tamaasha what happened is, Raaki Saawant ditched her fiancé. I don't know if there is any governing body which is in place for monitoring or approving such TV (reality) shows. I happened to watch a trailer of this Rahul's show and his probable "fiancé’s" (can I say that way?), man, the entire nation knows the caliber of Rahul and his stunts during the Big Brother show and we all know that he was / is a drug addict and already married once, still, some stupid girls say that they LOVE HIM so much, may be they wud have meant "I LIKE YOUR FINANCIAL STATUS SO MUCH" ...

What hits me hard is, where is the bloody money in our country to host such "good-for-nothing-useless-for-no-one" types of shows ? I was stunned to see the number of sponsors who have lined up to host this show. On the other hand a leading survey says that in INDIA there is more than 70% of the population who lives with Rs 80 per day as their salary, INDIA is the only country where 30% of the population is termed as POOR, and INDIA is the second country next to Africa for HUNGER deaths. WTF?? Why can't these sponsors help those poor and the needy and what the hell they are going to get in hosting such a stupid show like this. What rich costumes, unimaginable indoor sets, and over and above all these, if you hear the complete agenda of this show, I am sure close to 50 crores would have gone into the making, I mean, into the drain. Rahul Mahajan with all those make-up (lipstick included) and "Sherwaani" on him, look like an unattended frozen DEAD BODY somewhere on a snowy mountain. "Palliya thiruppi pottaa maadhiri vellaiyaa irukaan" (Looks like an up-side down turned Lizard)

The girls who were all dressed up and ready to gear themselves to live a life with that flirt, drug addict, drunkard etc etc, looked so bright and all of them have attached an "artificial" smile on their face. What I am not able to get is, does the girl's parents too would have agreed for their daughter to come and participate in such nasty shows ? And is that the way they want their daughter to choose their partner ? Don’t they know that Rahul is a person who does not have any credibility ? All these questions remain as questions and I am sure it will never be answered. All these shows once again prove that the media has stamped all its viewers as "Senseless Idiots" and we will see any crap of a program that is being showed in the "Idiot Box". I request all my readers not to even switch your channel to "NDTV Imagine" for the next 1 month and then dare to watch such a sickening program. Ok Ok Ok, I am not writing this post just out of jealous that I did not get any sponsor to launch my "Bride" hunt and having a program on my name like "Satish Ek Ladiki Find Karoooo" ;-)

1411 and Counting down ...

I don't know what this piece of blog can bring in as a change to the vastly vanishing TIGER population in our country, but I wanted to do my part here at least by blogging about it. I know many of the readers of this blog wouldn’t have even seen a TIGER in real, and we are not poachers, but knowingly or unknowingly we are also responsible for killing tigers, by buying products which are made out of TIGER skin, I am not saying that we are obsessed with that piece of material, but I am just requesting to you all not to buy anything that is made out of that poor things skin, and one thing that reminds me here is, the only use less creature on this entire planet is HUMANS where they are not useful for anything or anyone even while they are living or after their death, because we are very busy in minding our own life and we don't have time to think about others.

I saw a very touching documentary in NDTV 24X7 today and that was so shocking. That documentary talks about a TIGER by name Seetha and her 5 new born cubs, it is a very well documented film, which starts from the date when she mates with her partner and till the date she gave birth to 3 male and 2 female cubs. The documentary shows how much care that TIGER takes for her younger ones and how much protective she is on them. Those tiny fellas are so damn cute and you would really love to own one of them, the way in which they ended the documentary was shocking, the cubs were too young and scary and they don't know how to venture into the wild and the commentary on the documentary goes like this "The young little one's are now all alone for almost 5 days and there is no sign of Seetha returning back to their shelter, the young one's are very hungry and scared, they even get scared on their own shadow (now the camera focus close-up on those cute little cubs), and they are all wondering when their mom would come and feed her ...." Now the camera moves into the WILD and we hear 4 bullet shots and the commentary ends like this "May be she will never return to see them ...." That was too touching for me and I could feel the pain ...

We are saying that TIGER is our national animal and all we have with us is just 1411 tigers nationwide. This is a sheer shame on us and if we continue to allow those merciless poachers to kill that innocent mammal, we all should be blamed for that disaster and no one else. Once again waiting for the sickening politicians to take this issue into their hands and solve this for us, we are STUPIDS. I will be happy if the total number of politicians count in this country is diminishing, and that's a welcome sign, they are WORST than a tiger, at least TIGERS attack only if they are threatened, but politicians attack just for them to survive. Let’s not expect the government to do anything in this issue, lets create awareness amongst the people and lets at least raise our voice to save that wonderful animal. When rotten politicians can live in this land, why can't a gorgeous and a brave TIGER live ? Just see that documentary which is showed every 15 minutes in NDTV 24X7, you too will feel that pain. LETS BLOG, TWEET, DO SOMETHING TO CREATE AWARENESS FOR SAVING OUR NATIONAL ANIMAL.
