Independence Day! What Next ??

My mobile watch showed 00:01PM, the day has changed and it was 15th August. I was sitting on the sofa and thinking what to do after turning off television and I saw lifeless "Times Life" lying beside me and the first line I read was "We have only got the freedom to breathe. We can’t talk, we can’t demand. It is a very selective democracy" and I thought how true it is?
Today when government is facing so many scams, question of corruption, black money, nepotism, biased behavior and what we are doing? or what government is doing when we try to demand something?
Government proclaimed Anna Hazare to be "TOTALLY CORRUPT FROM HEAD TO TOE"(?), they kicked away Baba Ramdev and now Baba Ramdev is forgotten name. When BJP decided to attack it, government suddenly opened Karnatak Lokayukta Report" genie but BJP didn't take backseat and took some brave step( sacking CM Yeddyurappa) so government took hasty decision of jumping in the gujarat politics and backing IPS officers who has been suspended recently by Gujarat government and projected it as an injustice but no one even tried to know why he has been suspended. He has been suspended for not reporting on the job got 10month and as media says what government wants it to say, it also hyped the scene.
Today, Anna Hazare Team has been finally denied the permission for the venue for the fast and more over delhi police imposed section #144. And still government is defending itself and justifying the action.
I just wonder what kind of government is this?
Which tried to procrastinate preceding of 2G Scam, Adarsh Building Scam, Commonwealth Scam and many more and now when few aware citizens of country wants government to take precautions that similar scams don't happen, government is saying "We can't do what you want, we will do what we desire".
They labeled Anna and team with "Anarchists, Black mailers, hypocrites" etc but my simple question to government  is Why these people had to come and protest? Doesnt is show lack proper management? lack of law or lack of willingness to provide justice? and when someone tries to tell you what you are suppose to do you just try whatever you can to shut them up.

I firmly believe this is just a starting of the big dirty game that will unfold it tomorrow(oops day changed "today"). or as Srivatsa Krishna just tweeted it will be "Rebirth of emergency of 1975, 36 yrs later"
what we can do it just speculate and do what is right for our country or atleast help those are trying to do what is right for the country.

Mr. Band Manager

Yesterday was fun, it was different, there was something new and something that I had never expected. I was with my band Ecstasy but in a new role, in a new position and that is called Band Manager. I had always dreamed of being a guitarist and blowing every one's head off but now I am person who instigate few psychos to do that for me. 

I am not disappointed but it is not a thing that I have always wanted but on other hand it really feels great to be associated with the band after a long sabbath of more than a year. Before a year I was with the same guys but on stage and playing my guitar and now things have totally changed.

There are always pros and cons of everything and so with being a band manager. If I list pros than it will be more money [:P] as ours will be 7guys band (if I were in band as musician) and so my part in money would be 14.28% but now as I am band manager my part will be 15% [0.72% more :D ], as manager my role is - making connection, keeping peace, finalizing gigs, marketing and promotion- and that will be all new experience and will help me being little extrovert( fingers crossed ) and the best thing that I really love being a band manager is more influence on band which means song selection, styling and position and some original music for which I can say “This is my band’s OC”. There are cons too but I don’t want to discuss it as right now I am pretty excited on being a Band manager and ready to rock the world in my new role.

"Lokpal" Bill

 So, candles have been lit slogans have been shouted, Anna Hazare Ji has started eating (and will gain weight, he has lost). In last few days u might had been part of  crowd to support Anna Hazare, you might have lit candles, tweeted a lot of messages, posted hell lot of links on facebook, forwarded messages, send mails to every one in your network to support "Satyagrah" that AnnaJI has started.

So what now???
How about few questions???

1) Who is anna hazare?
2) For what he is famous for? (don't tell me for his work for Ralegan Sidhi village, I want detailed answer)
3) What is Lok Pal Bill?
4) How Lokpal will be selected?(or will he/she be elected or selected?)
5) Have you read lokpal bill?
6) How lokpal bill will bring reform (read revolution)?

Take 5 minutes to think and construct your answers,

Now, if you fumbled while answering most the questions and you are clueless and don't know anything worth answering then please don't curse yourself. You need to neither call yourself outright dumb or total moron because you are just like other >70% of the mass who didn't know anything about Anna Hazare or Lokpal bill but still went on road with banners, burnt candles and did all the things I mentioned before.

No, I don't want to call your emotions or thing you did, total dumb and sense less but I am just wondering how can you support something if you don't know what it is ? Now you will argue that you want corruption free India and I appreciate your feelings but without knowing how lokpal will remove corruption or how it will function how can you know that it will work towards corruption free India? Just because news channels are giving exaggerating coverage or you heard few celebrities supporting it, you started supporting it?  I don't want to hurt your feelings but what I want to convey is that how can you fight for something about which you don't know?

On a closing note, ask yourself was it really your love for country or love for money which you have to spend every time you have to get some work done. You supported Anna Hazare for public good or just to save your money when you get some work do be done?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S :
1) Any one thought about the Perfect timing of this whole movement and dramatic coverage and publicity it got?
2) Any one gave any thought to "India Against Corruption" title ???
3) Any one still waiting for Poonam Pandey's Show or am I the only one? :P

Afridi -> Respect | Not Anymore

In my last blog post I talked about how good Shahid afridi was on field and how he manged to behave like a good human and how he made me respect him but after watching this video,   I take all my words back. Whatever good I had said about shahid afridi, I take it back. Once again he proved he can't be global human. Again he proved that he was, he is and he will remain orthodox pakistani

                                          *******

After Afridi's first interview(Click Here), Many people not only in India but around the whole globe developed sudden liking for him, they appreciated his "brave heart"(?) answers and afridi got exponential increase in number of his fans but it didn last more days. After another interview that number decreased more rapidly then it had increased.

I dont want to talk about answers afridi gave in this second interview because i believe as a Pakistani he is suffering from inferiority complex(no offense!) and things he told about media and hearts of Indians shows why Pakistan is being hated.

The only thing that i am wondering about is how come a statement of a guy can change so drastically in this much short span of time. What could be the factors that made afridi utter such preposterous things. Is it a political pressure or pressure from orthodox Muslims because as it has been famous that to be captain of Pakistan's cricket team you have to be an orthodox n India hating muslim.

But I think whatever it was, it was what people of pakistan wanted to hear. Every one knows (Indians as well as Pakistanis) that it was really wrong to say whatever afridi said. He is a leading figure and as a leading figure and to stay in public eye he had to say something that every one hears and many wants. I dont have many words to explain this but i guess this video tells it all

Afridi -> Respect

First of all "Best of Luck" team India for today's match (though none of the cricketer gonna read this but this is what I can do :P )

Couple of days back India played against Pakistan in the world cup semi final.
What were the expectations from the game??? In my Last Post i described Cricket as religion and followers as peaceful followers who loves game but when it comes to India-Pakistan match, there are no rules and its all like a war. Most of the fans(Indians as well as Pakistanis) wanted it to happen like a war, wanted some exaggerated hatred and emotions, wanted some offensive actions ,in one sentence they wanted players to fight on field like it is a War but not a Game.

Even I was also expecting some high voltage, nerve numbing drama as whole Pakistani team is famous for their aggression(No Offense) and from Indian side it is lead by Harbhajan Sing and Yuvaraj Singh, but I must say ... What a Game! Team Pakistan and especially Shahid Afridi.

The way afridi controlled himself and his emotions, it is really worth many cheers. He didnt win match but he won many hearts. When his team mates dropped catch of The God-Sachin Tendulkar, we can see unhappiness on his face but it was natural but except that there was no scream not he shouted on the players. Even when Umar Gul was literally being THRASHED by Virendra Sehwag, Afridi did what captain was suppose to do, talk with him n cheer him up. When Pakistan was loosing match my cousin commented "Look, he is crying", Afridi was not crying literally but he was extremely sad and who would not ??? When Your team has shown extra ordinary performance, they did what no one, before the world cup, has predicted, they lived upto the phrase "From ashes we rose" and when you loose in the semi final of the world cup and you know this will break miliions of hearts, doesnt it make someone feel extremely sad ??? but still Afridi controlled his emotions and was the first one to come out on ground to congratulate Team India when India won. A True sportsman and on that moment I realized its only Team Australia who are shithead.

I though to write this the day after the match only but i though it will be too early to say something but after i watched this video

Just one word "Respect"
