It's not legal to love...


There is only one thing which has been under misuse. Extensively. The freedom to practise assorted rights. Quite common in India too, the gay rights, gay-rights-activism has grown by leaps and bounds, over the years. The advoactes of these so called 'sexual minority' and their rights have one thing in common. To obstruct the vehicular raffic. To show the strengths. But even they themselves don't knw what they are propagating! The same sex, gay sex, women to women sex etc...It sounds horrible and inhuman to think about these 'unnatuaral offences'.
Okay we accept. Human beings and their inclinations. They have bilogical urges. But what about the rules and regulations? Large chunk of world's population; the writers, intellectuals, academicians, musicians, teachers and doctors, whether they are atheists or believers, firmly believe that the animals have no set rules. The animals, they start it in the streets and bring to its logical end to the open. In between, they traverse distances. While they travel during their 'deed' the scen becomes quite unbearable to everyone. So where has the human values disappeared?
We as human beings never come out in the open. Has anyone the guts to do it in the open? The rights activists should better answer the question. The 2009 Delhi High Court judgement should be seen as a judicial pronouncemnt. Why these activists have generated so much of noise? It's ridiculous. On April 19 the apex court will decide its stand on the unnecesary brouhaha and the demand to repeal the IPC 377. We ask these rights groups what really ails them? The Indian social structure has been marred by many factors. By initiating the caus ethey have further damaged the social fabric. Is it necessary to grant sanction to is sexual minority? Or the society itself needs to be quarantined from them? the debates continues...

Han ji it's 2 G...



It's 2 G. The second generation scam. Superbly evolved, over the years. Even Mr Charles, not the Sobhraj fame, would have inferred from it. To support his popular evolution theory. No no. Don't misunderstand. The 2 G spectrum and its intricacies bear all the signs. Of evolution. But in this case they refer to the 2 G scam. Its evolution over the years. we hear that the scam indeed occurred during erstwhile NDA. The DNA of 2 G virus, it seems, has become resistant to the remedies. At this stage the probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation can be considered only as an effort to quarantine. Should not be taken as the inoculation. The parliament proceedings have too been contracted by the 2 G DNA. Orchestrated by the opposition led by NDA. What if the scam was exposed during NDA regime? Would the pandemonium been the same? Maybe. Because our political class has one characteristic in common. While in opposition, they have a pre-studied lesson. Someone might have taught these leaders. That, obstructing the parliament sessions will make them a leading name. In political circles. The more they gather into the well of the House the more they send their rivals to the hell. We hear that CBI has summoned Arun Shourie who lives in Lavasa. The upcoming state of the art township near Pune. Hope that it's not built on the art of staging the displacement, of the poor. The seeds of the scam were sown during the rains of NDA; still not proven. Mr Shourie has vindicated himself in an interview to Sunil Jain, opinions editor, The Financial Express. So what? It's a self written clean chit. CBI needs to unearth more. It needs to till the soil. Then the worms will come out. These worms have eaten into the ex chequer. The public money. The farmers' money. The poors' who live by roadside and construct huge high rises. Though they have survived the high rising prices which have crashed down on to them. COming back to Mr Shourie. He on various occasions our maybe he created those occasions to meet Manmohan Singh, our beloved prime minister. "Something is going wrong Mr Prime Minister" in the words of Shourie. Then nothing happens. The worms indulge in their under ground play. Then Mr Shourie buzzes Ashwani Kumar. The hell breaks loose here. In India whistle blowers are silenced. Not the ones who wreak havoc on the girls on the roads. But the government real servants who against the traditional jeevo aur khane do mantra. And end up in graves or on pyres. So is Mr Shourie a whistle blower? CBI has better tools. Even the sleepless nights are missing from the scene. Look at Raja when he is being taken to and from court? A look at Shahid Balwa will outrage common men. So what ails the country? The criminal justice system? it may not be the only reason. The causes are various. Poiticisation of each and every issue is ailing the country. Opposition and the rulers should realise. It takes centuries to win the rat race. So why have you been running with rats? Who tresspass the kitchen in the dark of the night? Keep away the rats from the country's kitchens to thwart the whisking away of the breads. Or place bets and capture these rats into cages...

Who says love seeks no religion? I say politicians practise no religion!



It was another gloomy afternoon. Like many other journalists in Malegaon, I too took out a pen after a painful four hour wait. Yes we were waiting for the Maharashtra Congress chief's advent. Fed up of utter faithfulness displayed by the Congress workers; I write this because everyone who came to address the "bearing" crowd talked about the possible, timely arrival of none other but our Manikrao Thakre. The crowds would have been hired on a meagre amount to decorate the occassion too started emanating dismay, though was not visible as they had to prove their loyalty. Finally the wait was over. Surprisingly all the speeches were bouncing over my head as I had to rush for my lunch too. As, was deprived of food for nearly six hours. Finally our beloved neta was there in khadi and black jacket and with the paraphernalia a politician carries wherever he embarks. Surrounded by fans and followers our neta (leader) was escorted to the dice.; where huge garlands, I don't know on what expenditure they bought them, were waiting to be honoured. At last our leader was ready to speak. As Salamu Alaikum. These greetings purely Islamic in nature crashed to my ears crushing my hearing abilities. I was awed. Shocked. In hibernation. As to why a leader needs to say salaam when he addresses a Muslim locality or bunch of followers. I took out my pen again. By this time my painful ordeal was over; particularly after hearing As Salamu Alaikum. As I started to pen down our neta's speech, not the verbatim, a thought bumped into my head. Does love seek no religion? I said no. As our nets practise no religion.

Look who is feeling sorry?



Imparting a moral education to his nephew Ajit Pawar, Sharad Pawar has tried to pacify the anger expressed by media over the the former's daredevil demand to banish the media. Ironically, for Pawar senior, it took another political function held in Kolhapur to realise how goofed up he was when he stated that "one should take care while speaking to media". What prompted the union agricultural minister to execute a roll back in his previous statement, but media is a watchdog. It's a fourth state. So why quarrel with it? As a journalist I feel Maharashtra's deputy chief minister went overboard while addressing a gathering uttered in favour of banning some "stray" media persons.
