Independent Investigating Agency:CBI



There are millions of Americans who are clever and fearless, but the trouble is they are only four years old.-Anonymous

      

Once there was a competition between the FBI, Scotland Yard and CBI from India to decide the most effective investigating agency.

The task given to them was to find a white deer accused for corruption ‘eating more grass rather specified’.

Now the FBI found the deer and brought its head in 20 min.
Scotland Yard took around 25 minutes to solve the case.

The CBI was not to be seen even after  5 -6 hours, till the evening they did not come up. The media did try and locate them -----they found CBI had caught a monkey and was asking it to repeat that ‘I am a deer’  ‘I am a deer’.In the end the monkey gave up saying it was deer....

One media journalist  identified the monkey to be a deer and  asked the CBI about it.

The officer replied it had got a call stating  that the deer was an endangered species  and ‘not to touch it’ by the government of India.

Reservations: AARAKSHAN



Natural inclinations,
unrequited vindications,
unadorned specifications.

These all make for reservations
of forced vacations -
like a sad
and elongated
Pythagorean theorem
that always equals = a bad poem

Its like the pears advertisement the girl in the add.  Seems to be saying –
“Mummy mummy mujhe jaldi se pears jaise sundar bana do...”
Just with a change “Mummy Mummy mujhe jaldi se jaldi SC/ST bana do.”

The argument given in favour of reservations has been that of opportunities not being available for the backward sections of the society of the last 60 years and the gross injustice done to them, hence the reservations in these government jobs and higher educational institutions. Also being said is that 52 % of the population has  been backward castes therefore 27 % has to be reserved for them based on census done in 1931.

 I am very sure if mayavati had her way she would make that the PM and president of India should also be reserved.

So lets get to the facts has the caste based reservations really improved the social status of these people or has it been just to serve the political interests of a few.The mandal commission itself mentions a series of steps to empower people like -the radical alteration in production relations through progressive land reforms;
  • special educational facilities to upgrade the cultural environment of the students,
  • with special emphasis on vocational training;
  • separate coaching facilities for students aspiring to enter technical and professional institutions;
  • creation of adequate facilities for improving the skills of village artisans;
  • subsidised loans for setting up small-scale industries; the setting up of a separate chain of financial and technical bodies to assist OBC entrepreneurs.
The policy makers have been very selective in their implementation of the recommendations  mandal commission.

The provision for creamy layer seems creamier than a pastry form mongines as it mentions the gross annual income for a period of three years to be consistently more than 2.5 lakhs that excludes income from agricultural derivatives and salary (don’t understand which income they are looking at)

Reservations  have definitely tried to create more acrimony in the society than harmany with the self interest of the politicians who have been very short sighted in their self interest for power rather for positive change towards the nation.Reservations have been a body blow to the meritocracy and promoting mediocracy.

Reservations have also paved way for rampant corruption in admission to educational institutions ,issuance of fake caste certificates and government jobs.

I am sure the real benificiaries have been the so called politicians and not the people really intended to benefit from it.The need is to empower people by providing knowhow,training,skills ,free loans , healthcare to take better decisions rather than give reservations that actually makes them weak .

The 25% reservations into RTE for economically backward would be a step forward to eliminate reservations based on caste,community or religion.

I am sure the effective  measures to empower these people would get taken by the collective wisdom of the political parties rather than taking India 60 years backward.

GAY MARRIAGES


Moral authority is never retained by any attempt to hold on to it. It comes without seeking and is retained without effort -Mahatma Gandhi



         
It is sad that Barak Obama,a world leader, a Nobel  laureates  has chosen to take a stand of legalising  gay marriages.

Its sad, he has stopped to the level of ordinary politicians, making policies for political gains.
Statistics show one in six in the Obama campaign is funded by a gay, that means if he choses to take a stand against he would lose the elections.But then Obama is looked up to as a world leader and not an  ordinary person and leaders are supposed to set a path or give a direction to the world. I wont be surprised , that  after this many  more countries would follow suit.

The words of the great Martin Luther King come to my mind -
 “I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good. If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values - that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control.”

Interesting has been the views of Santorum the republican candidate who withdrew against Mitt Romney. He has stated his stance that marriages are for procreation and should be between only one man and one women not with the same sex.I agree completely with Mr. Santorum and even find justification in the scriptures that state the  purpose of marriage as procreation .

Osho had stated boredom as a reason for people getting into homosexual tendencies. People getting bored with their opposite sexes.

North Carolina voters have passes a constitutional amendment banning gay marriages.

Something which is against nature cannot be promoted or propagated, hence the argument that gay marriages should be legalised does not find any basis,as it is not in tune with nature.

I stand to say that I acknowledge the gay community but I would be against propagating or promoting it.So when somebody legalises gay marriages he or she is promoting something not in tune with nature.The alarming risk posed by such a stand in the next decade would be ‘procreation’ and having a dead world.

Coming back to India, the gay activists who fight for the rights of gays & transgenders is also interesting.Indian government has shown flipflop in its policy on gay rights in Supreme Court of India.

Specifically the issue of rights of transgender (don’t see how gays have any less rights than i have).

Yes there is social apartheid with these transgender hence they get pushed into unwanted activities which does give rise to serious diseases,but does that qualify for reservations for them in jobs or educational institutions. I am strongly for jobs for them, since they are physically stronger they could get absorbed into physically laborious work, this could be the first step to move them out of their inertia., though I am against any sort of reservations.

On a lighter note, somebody asked if we would need separate bathrooms for transgender with the board as Trans,I said no we could create more restrooms for women.

AGNI V

                        Strength respects strength---APJ Kalam                 

                                                  

Morning news headlines read “ AGNI V released, superhit” , I thought  it was Ram Gopal Verma’s  5th attempt at making Sholay,but no it was India’s 1st intercontinental antiballistic missile and a nuclear deterrent with China.

It has capability of 5000 KM weighting 50 tonnes and provided India with a capability to target any location in Africa, Asia, and China other than US. But then India track record of non proliferation has been of absolute impeccable and surely it would be used as a deterrent.

India has on its part demonstrated great restraint and tolerance with its loving neighbous Pakistan and china.
AGNI V has many point out is a game changer for India in many ways ,as the scientist pointed out that everything went absolutely perfect while the launch meeting out all the parameters with precision.
India progressed in its AGNI mission from Agni 1 with its 700 km dive to AGNI 3 with 3500 km range to AGNI 5 which is a 5000 km range. It has been an incremental and structured progress made by enormous efforts from the scientific community.

Indian missile capability had been an due to persistent efforts from dedicated Indian Scientists and visionaries  from Vikram Sarabhai to APJ Kalam to Madhavan Nair to VK Saraswat.It is due the perseverance  of many more team members,inspite of failures and technological sanctions.By these people it had been proved that hard work and dedication one can achieve whatever one needs too.
International community has taken note with China response has been guarded saying India as a Partner and US saying India as a Nuclear power.

World, take note, India, has arrived into the Big stage.

And thank god AGNI V is not an RGV flick.

The Dilemma of a Political Aspirant


                         Decisions are easy when  no options are left.-P.V.Narasimha Rao



Being unemployed and having no work to do, my attention was captured by Indian politics and since ,one is required to join a political party to enter politics,  I decided to do a primitive study  on Indian political Parties so that i could make up my mind  on which political party to join.


Since I am in the habit of watching pornography,I thought why not join the Bharati Janata Party,I am sure the latest clips would be easily accessible.

But then since I am also a great admirer  of Lokpal I thought why not be in Congress.

But then since I am against any petrol price hike why should I not be in the Left front.

But then  since I am very ambitious and  would want to be the prime minister at the earliest though dont have the numbers why not join the Nationalist Congress Party (Read close to  sharad pawar) .

But then since I am very clear that i am  not a beggar I thought why not join Didi, and Trinamul Congress Party.

But since I am very keen to do it  all alone I thought why not join the the Bijju Janata Dal .

But since I am very found of historical monuments why would I not join the Bahujan Samaj Party.

But since my friends from bihar  plan to get employed in MOON as there are no opportunities remaining on earth and i being  unemployed, and as the reality prises in Mumbai are getting no better, i am sure Mr Nitish kumar being  a visionary as he is , joining  Mr .Nitish Kumar and Janata Dal (United) would be a very good option.

But then i am not used to attending my school from the school days,I am sure joining the DMK would be the best option as I would not be required to attend the parliament at all.


After having gone through  the fundamentals of all the like minded parties I am very sure the election commission would consider my dilemma and bring about certain REFORMS so that I am able to join multiple like minded partied simultaneously.

Pity the Leaders

                                          "Leaders tell me why is the dawn so far
                                           Readers tell me why is the light so far” 




Pity a Prime minister that cannot support his own minister
Pity a Prime Minister who cannot support his own cabinet minister, 
how will he support an aam aadmi
Pity a Prime minister who cannot support his minister who delivered
Pity a Prime minister who supported who never won an election
 (read P Chidambaram)
Pity a Prime minister who threw away a person who was not corrupt
 (read Shashi tharoor)
Pity a Prime minister who did not throw away  a minister who was corrupt
 (read A Raja)
Pity a Prime minister who does not support a value a human resourse
Pity a Prime minister who always finds an excuse on policy paralysis in left 
or the left of left (read TMC)
Pity a Finance minister who feels  that the budget(read rail budget) getting tabled
is more important than the person who presented the budget
Pity a nation that does not have leaders

Once my friend told me if you have to find leaders you have to go to US.

As for Dinesh Trivedi-We wish him best wishes on finding 
the apporopriate book ” The Rise of Hitler in Parliamentary Democracy”
