M.F Husain - Right of individuality in danger!!!!!

M.F Husain(MFH) renounces his Indian citizenship and accepts being an Quatari.
This news relly creates a sense of anxiety in mind and plenty of questions are raised in mind. why he did this? What is the reason behind? Why did not the Indian govt do anything?
And the answers are here- The artist of that calibre was tortured, his art of presenting the views on canvass was vandalised. Religious fanatics were always in search of an opportunity to damage his sentiments and his exhibitions. Precisely MFH was suffoecated by the resistance of external fanatics to showcase his art/ideas.
Fanatics enunciated that MFH was hampering & showing disrespect to the dieties of a religion by canvassing their in the buff images(especially Godesses). And so they were religiously hurt by his pervertive art forms and so vandalised his exhibitions and irritated him and resisted him to display his talent.
Vandalising, destructing, irritating someone and resisting to display his/her ideas is not the right way to protest. This may hnegative impact on the mindset of the reciever and even the country has to pay for this. In MFH's case, he flew to Dubai, paused his painting instinct but never stopped. He still creates what he wants, the way he wants. His creations in his way.
And accepted the Quatar's citizenship.
So, what i personnaly feel and think is, if any one wants to protest against some one or shout and stand out to depict anger then he/she is allowed to do that in a democracy but should never suffocate him/her to take such a drastic stand, and at the end we lost MF Hussain.
Now when already he is a Quatari, its share stupidityraise questions on lack of tacking decisions by govt. or by repenting. Its better to accept the reality.
And finally we should learn somthing from this oust, otherwise all the forceful export of talent would make INDIA as a talent-barren country.

Take the Ownership first and then blame Government!!!!

This article of mine totally centralizes on the "Chalta Hai" attitude which we have engrossed and inculcated in ourselves. Such an attitude plays a pivotal role for blaming the government for each and every wrong doing, for every misconduct, for every violation of rules in short for every thing which is away from its usual path of happening, we directly without even thinking for a while, in a split of second blame it to the government. Few commonly used adages are: The Government Is blind to see it?, Why the hel Government doesnt correct it? etc and there are innumerable of such statements.
But now here the wafer thin truth lies. Did we ever thought what we could do to solve any of the problem which is caused in dat to day life? Why after seeing any misconduct or a bad happening , we blame it to the goverment directly? Why always government has to solve the problems or is it only the government's duty to solve the problem??
The answer to the above mentioned question is, we being the citizen of a country should take initiative and should take actions to solve the problems which could cracked on an individual level. Why only blame the government for every bits and pieces?
Problems, misconduct , violation of rules and much more mishappenings always involves the normal people in it and around, then why cant the problem be solved by the people who created it? Why always pass on the buck to the Government? Does it not be considered as the duty of each and every individual to perform his/her bit to find out the solution.
And if the government creates laws, rules and regulations to pause the mishappenings around, then also it is the people who cheat, break and violates the law just because they are magneted by greed and selfishness nature.
If such mean and self centered behaviour of human being continues to prevail then the government's rules and regulations will never be followed and absorbed in the system.
Take an example: an year ago, The usage of plastic bags were banned to be used for the environmental benefits. But ask yourself before saying that the rules were not strict enough to follow, have you taken an initiative of not using the plastics in public or have you taken a lead in teaching/advising/suggesting others of the plastic's harmful effect on the environment?
But we never lack energy or inertia in blaming government for every bit of a problem.
WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.... Government can only create laws but to abide them its WE....
Initiation and Trusteeship/ownership of the work/act towards the people around you is the real panacea of the problems around you.
So next time before blaming the Government instantly, Think Twice and ask, what have you done to solve this problem!!!!

If elusive dream of reservation for women fulfills, then wat next????

The fight for the claiming the majority for the reservation of women in Parliamentary discussions, Lok sabha and RS is on. But still results are yet too far. The Bill if passed will definately help to bring the women to the world stage in tackling national issues and her's political representation will also give a different perspective for different issues which can really help to understand the issues from the whole new dimension.
Now the question arises: Suppose the bill gets passed, then do we have enough politically prepared women to take solid and strong steps for the controversial and issues related to the problems ranging from caste, creed to the national security and integrity???? Do we have even now many politically entusiast women around? The answer is NO. Rather the situation will get worsen because if the law is passed and there are no actual candidates for the assigned 33% seats then just to fill those places many underachieved women will take place and will be part of a problem. Many politically smeared males will try to fix in their kins for that reserved seats just to achieve their own goals without any hurdles. Then what will happen is really appaling and the situation with the case above will only get bad to worse and the problems will keep on piling up.
So what i feel is to capture a new breed of young and dynamic women, it is always essential to take the politics seriously. To avoid the personalisation of the seats reserved, to think about the country and its people it is imperative to select the right person for the right job. Rest what i think is, whosoever has the capibilty to withstand that seat's pressure and who thinks about the coubtry's progress should be opted for that coveted seat, irrespective of whether it is He or She......

Lethargic Reflex Action of the Government!!!!

Terror carnage after carnage, innocence lives are piling up, death toll soars up after every attack, bloodbath is witnessed every where, these are the scences which are commonly shown in the news via newspapers and T.V channels. Every man who is saved from such an attack or is not the part of the tragedy in the next few days comes across various headlines as:
1. Police starts investigating the devastated area.
2. Death Toll soars.
3. Government investigates to find out the terror group responsible for the attack.
4. New group emerges or the same LeT etc takes responsibility.
5. Monetary valuation is presented to the victim's family.
6. Few days later the Home minister orders for some new consolidated security regime.
7. News dust settles down and people forgets the attack.
8. Government does nothing. everything remains same.
9. At the end after few months, another attack and more people dies.

And again this vicious circle goes. It is an appalling truth. Government does nothing and we the people who are not the part of the tragedy does the same.
Why there is always such a lethargic and slow reactions by the government. Every incumbent government promises a lot of things but nothing happens and the innocenct people suffers. Why ????
Why the united States was not attacked after 9/11? Why India after a gap of few moths always gets exposed to a tragedy?
Why not the Government gets strict towards handling terror strikes, to protect its citizens?
Why?????
There are plenty of questions which can be raised, there are innumerable apologies the govt can make to their people, but then why can not it reat spontaneously and effectively?
People raise questions and the govt presents theory and analysis, but implements nothing, why?
Nobody can give answers except the Government it self......
But i am asking all of you a question, Do you feel safe while roaming in the public stuffed places?
is there any sense of fear that has developed in you minds? And the answer is Yes...
Terror did its work and Govenment is still preparing analytical statistical reports..........

After Colonial rule retaliation, it's Sachin that Connects INDIA!!!!

Sixty years back there was a time when every Indian had an aim in their mind to over throw the British Empire out of the country and to get their land back where they can lead a peaceful life ahead. This insatiable appetite of all the Indians around really forced the ANGREZ RAAZ to return. That retaliation against the foreign rule made each and every Indian united, irrspective to the caste, creed, colour and status.
That solidarity, unity and the consolidated voice of many for a cause was the last sign of the collective behaviour of all the Indians from North to South and East to West. That Retaliation, that Force and the victorious smile made every body ONE.
The same force, the same zeal and the same smile was once again visualised by me on the faces of many who were coming across me. and that was all because of the Master Blaster which our soil produced approx 36 years and 10 months before. SACHIN was the name that was on the lips of every Indian, was in the conversation of every one and in every language spoken. Every body was elated and at the same was a bit astonished that how come such an ordinary ODI was converted into a Historic battle ground which witnessed a spellbounded innings. 200 not out of 147 balls, this itself shows the temprament and the caliber of the person who was playing.
This inning actually brought the people together,networks for the several minutes were jammed, the conversations on the phones were disturbing but still every body was sharing his/her's share of happiness with the other person. All divisions of the caste, colour and creed was forgotton for quiet some time and every body was Flaunting to be an INDIAN just because of that 5 foot 5 inch Mammoth.

Flaunting INDIAness- A Crime????

India- A Secular State, allows everybody a space to live in, to flourish, welcomes each and every citizen from any part of the world with warmth, then why a fuss is to be created if an Indian speaks that??
Shah Rukh Khan(SRK) in an interview displayed his Indian Warmth towards the Pakistani Players and showed his disappointment for their oust and participation in the IPL. This interview was the starting point of the disasterous situations faced by SRK. The next day posters were teared off, effigies of SRK were charred and anti - SRK slogans were in the air and were pronounced by the Shiv sena protestors.
I dont want to discuss what all things were said and replied by SRK and Shiv Sena respectively but what really affected me as an Indian was, the protest of such a magnitude which was raised only because a person presented his views in open and that is really appaling.
It means we as an Indian should not feel free for speaking our mind out in open. Otherwise we could be pulled into a scandal and can be asked to appologise. This states that we have lost THE RIGHT OF INDIVIDUALITY.
Chanting slogans, disrupting traffic, burning effigies, tearing posters etc if these are the ways of presenting your views or your resentment then it is pathetic and Insane. In our country every body has the right to speak what he/she wants to say. Every body has the honour to oppose the views of others and to enter into a discussion but it should not be done by taking law into the hands and by hampering the Business of the other person. A peaceful talk is intelligence, a face to face discussion is healthy and it can be followed only if the EGOS of both the parties are subdued.
Through this SRK/Shiv-Sena clash it is reflected that Speaking your heart out in public is dangerous and it can juxtapose you to several threatning components of society.
But should we get scared of such instances and keep our pitch low or should we show our solidarity by still chatting out our views in public?????

I have Made My Mind and displayed the Views....... Now The Choice is Your's!!!!

Amazing Human Spirit, breaking all Odds!!!!

Its the last day of the year and in the hospitality industry its the pinnacle of the booming business time. This day is the longest day which really lasts long(walk the talk), people even after pain in their muscles dont forget to transmitt smiles to the guest and tries their best to camouflage their pain n display warmth.
I personally saw this rare display of human nature and was awestuck. This was the actual display of mettle which rest of the people in their lives talk about but i witnessed it this time. Their dedication towards the work was fantabulous and in short it was the palpable display of warmth.
Even after working for twenty hours at a strech with each and every muscled put into action as soon as the clock ticked 00:00 AM , all their pain flew off, the worry of the stressful work was vanished and they joined their tone of cheerfulness with thousands of other people gathered out there.
It was phenomenon. And as soon the real spark of the Clock entering the New 365 days doused off the people were back to their work of presenting the Malted Drinks and the Freshly made eatables to the party enjoying people out there.
Such a tremendous display of switching back to the proffession after a spark of enjoyment on a night which really attracts you for its hip hop and fashionable magnetic attraction is phenomenon and Fantastic. Heads Off............

There is always a learning from these Professionals...... Because Learning Is Growth and Growth Is Life!!!!
