26/11- A Report

शत शत नमन
उन शहीदों को जो हमारी और देश की रक्षा करते हुए शहीद हो गए. हमे न जानते हुए भी हमारे लिए आपनी जान की बाज़ी लगा दी

26/11 Mumbai Attack:
The 2008 Mumbai attacks were more than ten coordinated shooting and bombing attacks across Mumbai, India's financial capital and its largest city. The attacks, which drew widespread condemnation across the world, began on 26 November 2008 and lasted until 29 November, killing at least 173 people and wounding at least 308.
Eight of the attacks occurred in South Mumbai: At Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, The Oberoi Trident, The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital, the Orthodox Jewish-owned Nariman House, the Metro Cinema, and a lane behind the Times of India building and St. Xavier's College There was also an explosion at Mazagaon, in Mumbai's port area, and in a taxi at Vile Parle. By the early morning of 28 November, all sites except for the Taj Mahal Palace had been secured by Mumbai Police and security forces. An action by India's National Security Guards (NSG) on 29 November resulted in the death of the last remaining attackers at the Taj Mahal Palace, ending all fighting in the attacks.
Mohammad Ajmal Amir, the only attacker who was captured alive, disclosed that the attackers were members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Pakistan-based militant organization, considered a terrorist organization by India, the United States, and the United Kingdom, among others. The Indian Government said that the attackers came from Pakistan, and their controllers were in Pakistan.
On 7 January 2009, after more than a month of denying the nationality of the attackers,Pakistan's Information Minister Sherry Rehman officially accepted Ajmal Amir's nationality as Pakistani. On 12 February 2009, Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik, in a televised news briefing, confirmed that parts of the attack had been planned in Pakistan and said that six people, including the alleged mastermind, were being held in connection with the attacks.


After a whole year ,where we are standing? what did government do? What ?
and the answer is big "NOTHING". Government did nothing for people were affected ,nothing for officials who saved our country from this terror attack, nothing to them who were responsible ,nothing just NOTHING. Relatives of those braves got nothing from government for bravery of their beloved except few words of condolence and bit of money. People who were responsible for this attack are not affected in their jobs after this attack , RR Patil got re-instated as home minister of Maharashtra again,police officials are no suspended and many got promotions too. And we are CELEBRATING first anniversary of this attack.
That guy ,Mohammad Ajmal Amir, is still alive and case about his involvement is still going in court(F***ing decmocracy). Are we bloody assholes? that anyone can come to our country and kick our butt then some brave lads of our country kill them and v clap, politicians proclaim they "condemn this attack" n blah blah n next moment nothing. We feel proud in getting killed those assholes rather feeling ashamed that those assholes attacked our country on white day.
Our(Our Government's) response on this attack has been really woefully inept and shoddy. We could have done whatever we want with pakistan , destroy all terrorist camp n could have put more international pressure on pakistan to take action but instead of doing this we kept sending dossiers to them saying we are peace loving country(F*** this peace). After 26/11 our country lost a real time opportunity to put more pressure on Pakistan and eliminate the state sponsored terrorism there once and for all, otherwise who can explain that the Pakistani government virtually arrested, freed and then again put Mr Hafeez Saeed, Chief of LET and master mind behind 26/11. This shows how pathetic our leaders are and how they just don't care about any damn thing related to our country.

Can we get an assurance from the prime minister that the attacks would stop once and for all? Can we learn anything from America, United Kingdom in how they prevented in another 9/11, 7/7 to happen again. Thing like this has been happening our country since long time and will keep happening until we ,"Aam Aadmi (mango people :P)", will not anything that can make our government take some decisions.

Hope we have learned something from this 26/11 attack that we didn't learn from 1993 bomb blasts. Till that tile who knows who will be next victim of this terror attac k u ,me or someone else?

Jai Hind!

Here is the Solution...

It's really very irritating when someone calls you any time and want to you buy his/her bank's credit card or take loan or insurance any damn thing.

Here are few solutions you can use for those irritating callers...

1 After the telemarketer finishes speaking, ask her to marry you.(Always worked for me [:P])

2 Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment, and ask him/her, if he/she will give you his/her home phone number so you can call him/her back. (I use this when there is lady with beautiful voice [;)])

3 Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.( I use this mostly when there is guy on caller's end)

4 Tell them it is dinnertime, BUT ask if they would please hold. Put them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at your leisure. Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation. (I never tried this but it sounds good idea)

5 Tell them that all business goes through your agent, and hand the phone to your five year old child. (My uncle used to do this [:D])

6 Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up.... Louder... Louder... Louder! (Jor se Bolo Jai Mata Di)

7 If they start out with, "How are you today?", say "I'm so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems.... ........." (I read this somewhere)

8 Tell them to speak very slowly because you want to write every word down. (Funny .. isnt it?)

9 Cry out in surprise, "Helen, is that you? I've been hoping you'd call! How is the family?" When they insist they are not Helen, tell them to stop joking. This works especially well if the telemarketer is really MALE. (Someone suggested me in chatroom)

10 Tell the ICICI call centre guy to call on your office number - and give him the HSBC call centre number. (Now this is freaking hilarious [R O F L])

UnFiniShd DrEaM....

I was in 7th or 6th , i think , when I always wanted to be a cartoon. I was a big cartoon freak ,when i m at home and watching tv its only cartoon nothing else. I loved everything about cartoons from their names to style of talking , from their attire to gait everything. Even today i love to see cartoon if i get chance.

Many people ask what is there in cartoons ??? but i think they should think what is not there? Means making a cartoon is not a child's play and then different stories ,different demons n heros, adrenaline pumping actions sequences and everything that nothing in this world can provide you. They make you imagine different then normal people thinks what we call is Out Of Box thinking. Look at "Tom and Jerry" cartoons ,it is full of so many brainy things, nonsense acts of tom, jerry's plans for cheese n tom's madness. I don't think any normal human can think these much brainy things.
Cartoons are not only funny they are full of wisdom too. You can check "simpsons". Some cartoons are no less than any science fiction novel like "johny quest","batman of future" which make you think things that science can one day achieve. Then make you think in different manner like you can say "swat cats" their plane ,their weapons ,their style means all that is so exciting.
One can learn many things from cartoons, they make you imagine things, widen your imagination power, tactics and if nothing of these they can be proved good time pass and source of unstoppable laugh.
what u say?

Is it skin color only?

I was doing my usual time pass on orkut and then i found one community ,it's name was very interesting. When i was reading topics i read own guy was abusing one gal .
guy1:salli,R***
guy1:agar ise koi gora mil gaya to uska hi legi salli
guy2:hey dude,wht d hell?u ll also prefer white b**** over any indian babe.

and when i read this , i felt "What the hell is this?"
Does only skin color matter for them to like someone?

Why we Indians are so much obsessed with skin color? One one hand we are protesting racism and if we degrade someone then it is ok.waaah!!! OK. This is not racism but this is not less then it for sure. It looks we are still slave of those white assholes.Everyone wants to look white today. White skin color is still the main feature that drives people crazy. If you see TV, it is also full with these kind of adds. On one side "fair and lovely" is saying it can make you look fair on other side some soap saying "its what you need to if you want to look fair". ok No Offence. But everyone knows that this things can't change your skin color but still people go mad and buy them with hope that it will make them look beautiful.
Does only fair look make someone beautiful? means look at our own Indian beauties like Bipasha Basu,Sameera Reddy,Kajol etc.. they are not white but still they have that grace ,here you can include Ajay Devgan,Akshay Kumar and John Abraham too. These people haven't got fair skin but still they are heart throbe of many.

If you go and find roots then It all goes back to European dominance in the world where White=Better and Black=Bottom line.So the whiter you look to "better" you are. Similar to the color bias placed on lighter skinned Black people. And it still going strong today and we are still slave of that mentality. If some girl looks white she is said to be more beautiful and get more attention just because of her skin and brown skinned girl doesn't get that attention.
and this things say one thing...
Are we ,Indians, less racist then those white skinned people?
???

हम बहुसंख्यक कहाँ जाएँ

"इमरान हाश्मी तो मीडिया मै गया हम बहुसंख्यक कहाँ जाए

हमारे अपने देश मै ,कश्मीर मै जहाँ मुस्लिम ज्यादा हैं ,वहां हिन्दू कोई जमीन नहीं खरीद सकते और जिन हिन्दुओं की वहां जमीने थी ,उन पर मुसलमानों ने कब्जा कर के हिन्दुओं को वहां से भगा दिया |अमरनाथ के यात्रा करने वालो को आराम के लिए जमीन न देने का नोटंकी मुस्लिम्स ने अभी कुछ दिन पहले की तब मीडिया को नीद आ रही थी क्या जो इमरान की चिंता मै मीडिया पागल हो गया है |इमरान हासमी के लिए तो एक बिल्डिंग मै माकन न ले पाने की बात है 'हम हिन्दू तो पुरे कश्मीर की बात करते है तब ये सेकुलर मीडिया कहाँ सो जाता है"

I read this on some community on orkut, when i read it first time i found it totally true means its reality in India . If you go to Kashmir ,you will find that there are very few Hindus who are living like they are living in a free country ,everywhere there is terror in air. I don't want to say that Kashmiri people hate Hindus but they like them just when they come ,visit their place and then go. They don't want anyone except Muslims in Kashmir.
And things in interior part are even worse, you won't find single non muslim in villages of that region and that Amarnath matter,that also shows how unwilling these people are toward other religions ,their orthodox minds just can't accept other religions. My point here is not to disrespect any religion but their orthodox thoughts. I agree there are many Muslims who are not orthodox but as they say "one dirty fish can spoil whole pond" and here problems is that there are many dirty fishes so u can understand how worst the situation is. Don't take me wrong that I hate Muslims, APJ Kalam sir is my one of the favourite scientist and Zaheer Khan my favourite bowler. I know there are lakhs and lakhs of Muslim brothers in police and army fighting for our country, I know we got independence not because of only Mahatma Gandhi but because united efforts of all those Hindus and Muslims who lost their life in struggle of freedom. I know all this,but i love only them who are Indian in their heart, for others who celebrate pakistan's happiness I have a suggestion that they should go to pakistan, I don't care what that person is, a Hindu, a Muslim ,a Sikh or a a Christian, he/she should be an Indian first and thats it and we have no religion except one and that is Indianism .
Jai Hind! Vande Mataram!

An Open Letter

This letter i read somewhere and found it really heart touching...
This is my first post on thins blog and i think this is really good to start with some thing like this letter.
This letter was from Suresh Elangovan,CEO & MD of Mindlogicx Infotech Limited, to today's youth.
so ,by not taking much time...
handover to Mr. Elangovan...

My dear friend!

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and trampled into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But disregard of what has happened or what will happen you will never lose your value. You are special and don’t ever forget this. Never let yesterday’s disappointments overshadow tomorrow’s dreams.

A Dream for Every One

Every one of you have a dream in your life. It’s normally a dream that needs nourishment all the time and a dream that you would like to live to relish. But sometimes your dreams slip by you, as you watch helplessly and it becomes an unfinished agenda in your life. Then it becomes one among the hundreds of thousands of dreams that are difficult for many of us to realize. When you don’t realize your dream, you tend to think that destiny has played in your life. You reconcile yourself with what is called fate and think you are a child of destiny. It all started with the belief that you are a typical child of destiny and started believing that you are indeed God’s child, programmed to-be-so and to-do-so. But the fact is different. You are here by choice. Not by design of destiny that has programmed you to be.

Do You Remember Those Days?

It has been many years since you last saw the beginnings and ends of academic sessions, semesters, and holidays. Do you remember those days in your college when you played tricks to bunk classes of the physics professor and the ‘reason’ to attend the classes of lecturer Latika. Do you still remember the days when you struggled to get some pocket money, enjoy eating the canteen food (have you ever measured the viscosity of the dhal supplied?), drinking ‘bi-two’ tea during the month end, going triples in your friend’s bike and not having the money to pay the fines to traffic cops (do you still call them uncles?), dreaming about the next door girl (is she still going to college with her father?), and finally thinking about your own future too?

You must have had the first crush while at school. The ‘special some one’ would have been your neighborhood beauty or your classmate or schoolmate or some one you met in your uncle’s party. You must have felt that the person was awesome. You must have liked the way your ‘special some one’ dressed, walked, and smiled at you. Then, again, you must have fallen in love with ‘some other special one’ in your life and thought you had found everlasting love. Unfortunately, it was not to be. Living with shattered dreams could do more damage than chain smoking (statutory warning), and of course not a nice feeling one could carry on with. But as the saying goes, life always gives you a second chance and one has to be an optimist always.

Evolution of ‘You’ in the ‘Youniverse’

At the age of five, your parents must have told you that you would become an engineer or doctor (because they liked the idea of their ward carrying a T-square or wearing a stethoscope around the neck - thanks to the many films they had seen); at 10 your uncle must have told you to study a foreign language; at 15 you must have decided to become a cricketer (because, it’s always nice to be famous and have lots of money, shoot for ad films, and party with the latest Bollywood stars, leave alone batting for India); and may be now you have realized that you should become a professional (whatever it takes to be). When you move forward and enter yet another year, you will realize that the dreams have faded away into mere memories while reality takes you forward. You certainly need someone to handhold you, mentor you, and put you on track. You need someone to administer the right treatment to make you a successful breed. In short, can we say you need some ‘uncle’ to help you realize your dreams or goals? But then who is this person and where on earth you can find him? The right way is to be yourself in the ’youniverse’ where every one wants you to be some one else and make the difference to be noticed and earn some recognition. You need to create a space for yourself in the ‘youniverse’ to become successful and I am sure the uncle will be glad to help you do so. A word of caution though, don’t try to impress a girl with the uncle’s riches, or else one day she might become your aunty.

So What are You Looking for?

So you must be wondering as to what are you supposed to do now? You are here, as I said earlier, by choice and not by design. You must now make the right choice and the right move by equipping yourself to be industry-ready. I am sure that you would know by now that you don’t get a second chance to make the first impression.

Have you ever thought about your future? A future that can give you a life filled with joy and a sense of fulfillment? Do you wish to carry forward and cherish all your dreams? Do you think that you ‘can do it’ in your life, or that you have to make compromises just because you are not going to get the immunity as a student any more and will have to face the cruel world? Did your father say that he too faced a cruel world and worked hard to bring you up? Don’t you think that you should break the shackles and break free and realize all your dreams? Don’t you think you should have the liberty to play your game in your own style, in your own pace, and on your own terms? All set in your ‘youniverse’, specially created for you.

How do you think you can do this? How can you bridge the gap between your long cherished dreams and your life? While you had seen the best of your college life, you should also get to know about your future that can possibly fulfill your dreams. Secure your future by making yourself ‘employable’ or ‘self employable’. Use the power of technology to achieve your personal aims and professional goals.

Be a Part of Knowledge Society

For fifty years we have been a developing nation; it is time we saw ourselves as a developed nation. We are among the top five nations of the world in terms of GDP. We have a growth rate of 10 percent in most areas. Our poverty levels are falling and our achievements are being globally recognized and appreciated today. India must stand up to the World; unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us as a nation - only strength respects strength. We must be strong, not only as a military power, but also as an economic power. This is our vision, and it can be none other than transforming India into a developed nation. The government alone cannot achieve this vision and we need a people’s movement in the country; and this is the time to ignite the minds of people to join this movement. We must all share this vision and deliver knowledge to the needy using innovative technologies. We must be committed to propel the national economy through a knowledge based eco system.

Our former president Abdul Kalam rightly said, “Ignited minds of the youth are the greatest resource compared to any resource of the earth, under the earth, and above the earth. When ignited minds work and perform with an indomitable spirit, a prosperous, happy, and safe India is assured.”

Powering India’s Knowledge Competency

With India’s seemingly endless flow of young and motivated engineers, scientists, and business managers offering world-class skills in almost every area of global business, we are emerging as the next ‘superpower’. It is heartening to note that we are poised for an explosive growth and are heralded as a potential economic superpower by 2020. But are we in a position to really live up to this expectation or will it just end up as a hollow hype? With many multi-national companies setting up operations in India, there is a sudden demand for skilled workforce in retail and the IT enabled services like BPO and KPO. There is a requirement of human potential to handle high volume business. To enable this we must adopt to smart technology assisted learning system and create a knowledge based eco system that can convert the erstwhile weakness (over population) into an opportunity (human resource based) by providing various reskilling and upskilling programs to the needy in association with experts in particular domains. There is a great demand for skilled professionals while the supply is low. Our universities are unable to bridge the gap and provide skilled manpower that the industries are looking for and hence there is a greater demand for adoption of technology to deliver knowledge on-demand.

Experts opine that there must be a skills based pedagogy built into our educational system to provide various means of reskilling or upskilling to the students in the science, commerce, engineering, and management disciplines and make them employable or job ready. These courses are more like vocational programs and they should be able to enhance the skills of students in order to make them ‘employable’ or ‘self employable’ or enable them to transform themselves from being job seekers to job providers. Our target should be the millions of graduates like you who have the energy to make this mission a reality. What is needed is the ‘hand holding’, a mentoring process by which we can make you become ‘job ready’. The focus should be to convert the human population into human potential and make one employable in the areas of his or her expertise.

What Next?

Do you know that the greatest distance between two people, the toughest communication between two hearts, and the longest journey between two places are ‘between you and your employer’? A dedicated approach towards life is absolutely essential for you to reach the stars. There is nothing impossible if you can believe in your dreams and work towards it. Your dreams should float impatiently in your mind till you reach your goal.

I sincerely believe that the dreams of one billion Indians can’t go wrong. You are one among them; don’t let your dream go wrong. We are here to incubate your dreams.

With sincere wishes for a successful tomorrow.
