It is disgusting that none of the media organization is raising the issue that now security forces are using common man as their Dhal in conflict zone of security forces and naxalites. Many of the organizations are showing the tragic incident as one more brutality prformed by the extremist group.
But I feel the armed forces are more responsible for the killing of innocent people. This is because even after knowing the fact that they could be attacked any time by the rebellion group they boarded in the bus in which common people were traveling.
As per the report published in a national daily newspaper, driver of the particular bus requested to the personnel to not board in the bus. But they refused to listen anything.
Here it is tough to say anything but if armed forces repeated such sort of mistakes it would be perceived as their strategies to combat with the naxal problem. As a citizen of India I firmly condemn using common man to save their anus.
II
Now again media is performing its duty related to the naxal problem of the country. After the incident occurred at the Dantewada in which around 35 people have been killed in the attack by naxalites.
On May 18, I was in a hotel for the dinner and saw that a visual is continuously flashing on the screen of Aaj Tak news channel in which relation between naxalites and Lashkar-E-Tayyaiba (a terrorist group), has been claimed by the IB, an intelligence bureau of the country.
Today, on May 19, I went through Hindustan Times and my perception that this famous newspaper is involve in the lobbying against the naxalites, became stronger. I think this is the most vulgar thing about any media organization if it is involved in such cheap things. Here it would be pertinent to say that I have not counted hindi media, except two or three like Jansatta and NDTV, while using the word media organization.
HT has published many human-interest stories about the deceased of the earlier incident in which about 76 police were killed. It was continuously tried to create an impression like anti-human as the the consequence of the naxalite cruelity by this renowned media organization. Even in my class I saw that many of my batch mates were expressing their hi in the response of brutality of the extremist group.
In all stories published in the HT were presenting the mourn and grief of the families which lost their family members. But this so-called pro human organization has not published even a single story referring to the problem faced by the naxlite family.
If these organizations are honest, they should come forward with both aspects of the coin. They should also represent the panic situation of the naxalite families then the problem could be solved.

Know the nature of our welfare state
Centre has told the state governments of Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh to suspend their ongoing trials with Gardasil, an HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine made by Merck Ltd, being carried out among poor children in the two states. This research was being done by PATH, a US-based NGO and was funded by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It is because of the protests from women’s organizations and health rights groups that this action has been taken. However, the Government has to ensure the well being of the children already covered under the programme.
Also, the agencies involved in conducting the clinical study have been found actively falsifying the benefits of the vaccine, as well as minimizing all the problems associated with it. These are in addition to the issue of protocol violations.
The written material used by PATH categorically states that there are no side-effects of the vaccine other than irritation at the injection site and fever and that it has been safely administered to millions of girls without complaints in developed countries.
This move has been made too late, as at least in Andhra Pradesh, all vials have already been administered. In fact, when it was brought up the matter of the death of the first girl before the concerned authorities, it simply fell on deaf ears. This is in direct contrast to experiences in other countries, where entire batches of the vaccine were withdrawn from circulation when deaths and hospitalization were reported following vaccination. It should be pointed here out that there may be problems with specific batches of the vaccine as, according to press reports, Merck has been issued warning by the Food and Drugs Administration in the US, for not observing good manufacturing practices.

its time to enjoy that hooligans party is on backfoot
After a long time, i am writing on the blog. Though too many things are awaited to take a concrete form but this hectic schedule of a journalistic life.!.....sometimes I ask myself that would my whole life be the same, as going at present.
Many attention seeking incidents happened during this period in which controversy between Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thakery and Shahrukh was the prominent one..
After with the firm believe that movie 'My Name Is Khan' is not a movie worth watching in Mmultiplexes and cinema halls, it could say that Shahrukh's approach is really admirable because we have seen a lot of people like Big B, Aamir Khan and many others along with central and state government, who have surrenderd easily against these hooliguns of society but he stood by his statement .
Interestingly, this is the first time hitherto in my life when i have seen these chirkuts in their original form means as loosing one. Literally friends, I was dam confident whenever saw them doing chircutai that if any one who lives even little bit influence on society could crush them very easily. Atlast it happend..he has forced hooligans party to put fingure on their lips..have you people seen them ever like this....really it is nice....
When I was in Benaras, I wrote a letter to Amitabh Bachan when he critisized the "Slumdog Millionaire" and sent it in a national magazine...but it wasnt published...Now I am attaching that article here..if it is little bit long..if you people have time go through it... and at last I would try to visit my blog with some content continuously...
An open letter to Big B
Mr. Amitabh Bachhan ji,
I hope and have massive desire that you would and should be fine. Sir, I am your all time flatterer and these days very much free. Due to this undesired extra freedom, insects of my brain are running to and fro.
Now, there is a question in my mind and I‘ve keen yearning to share it with you, i.e. what is the purpose of any form of art, including cinema also? It raised in my mind when ‘The White Tiger’, a book written by Arvind Adiga, was honoured with ‘Man-Booker’. Following that incident, there was common murmuring all around that only those books get appreciation by western society which depict the negative aspect of India. It wasn’t even faded completely when ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ was released and again our Indian society was stimulated. But, when I read your comment about this movie, was really forced to think ‘what and why it is!’.
Sir ji, as a veteran artist, please decipher what is the sole purpose of any form of art. Is it only entertainment or anything else? While replying, a puzzle should hammer your mind that how eighty to eighty-five percent of Indian populace can be entertained as they are deprived, malnutrient, sexually frustrated and life-long struggler for basics.
I firmly believe that none can provide them that entertainment, what they really want. So, people like you, create placebo and because of human entity (I guess you and your counterparts, both are social being) go through those plots which are related to our society.
Sir ji, even you have smacked the ultimate flavor of success by this way. You are star of millennium because of your angry-young-man character, not anything else. Sir, try to recall what was your position before ‘janzeer’ and what happened all of a sudden after release of this movie. This, means angry-young-man, formula was used by you frequently in upcoming future. Isn’t it? Sir, say honestly – have you given a single moment to think ‘what was special in that character and why it was heartily accepted by big Indian society’.
In my view, Indian common people were befooled and stupefied after independence when they got themselves in same trap with different hunter. While struggling for freedom these Indian cognition had had some innocent dreams. But post freedom result wasn’t according to them. They found themselves deceived. Now, they wanted to pacify their anger and fight with social culprit like thekedar, sahukar, neta, whoever they were. But they were unable because of their commonness. They were loosing even the hope of betterment and sinking in frustration. Suddenly they saw a common man with few uncommon traits. Means, a person related to their society but he had special voice quality instead of common fumbleness, which could be listened any type of fracas and also a big personality which couldn’t be hidden with any conspiracy in any hubbub even. He was busy in same activities what they wanted, means to fight with culprits. He was vijay (few exceptions are also present) and also conquering and satisfying the common man’s ego.
You earned your desired and changed your party. Now, you re a don of underworld (family), a thief who is planning for a bank-robbery to use blind people (aankein). We are shocked just like a person who has been left out after huge promises by his beloved. Please don’t tell, it is part of an actor’s life to do every type of role. Of course, we know and really appreciate it. But what are you doing in real life?
We perceive you as a ‘chora Ganga kinare wala’ and also as an artist, not as politician (this is a type abuse these days). When previous assembly election of U.P. was going to held. We were forced to watch your gibing from hoardings at every crossing and streets. While cycling, tired from desponding daily struggle, we were watching you with using ‘uttam pradesh’ instead of our uttar pradesh. I can confidently say that even you can’t imagine which type of anguish it generated in our heart. Do you know, after that election when new government joined assembly, declared that if a single person famished in state, district authority shall suffer, from which victim will be related. Are you getting sir ji, which type of uttam pradesh it was!
How easily you apologized in front of Bal Thackeray! It was the head line of every newspaper in this region. We are unable to understand what was wrong in Jaya’s (a member of upper house of parliament) statement? If she wants to feel proud on Hindi, she should. It is the fundamental right of each and every Indian to feel affection and express him/her self in any language. I think, if you are even little-bit honest to your donors, you and your family should show ultimate respect towards Hindi because whatever you and your family have earned that is totally due to Hindi. Hindi hasn’t been proved as lucrative for anyone in whole human-history as for you.
When flagrancy was going on in Maharashtra, all eyes who have made you the darling of whole India, were looking towards you with wretched hope. But you abased them in a fraction of moment in front of those fiends who are shamelessly busy in ‘divide and rule’ on the name of caste, religion, language, state and many more. I don’t know what scared you. You are as tall (as an actor) that they can’t even reach to you. What they can do at most? They can divert and stop some people to watch your movie for six month or a year. But you should be confident and believe in your potential. None can stop your flatterers to meet to you by cinema to long period. How they‘ll fulfill people’s thrust of watching their favourite. (For a moment, imagine if you can be scared from these culprits with abundance of security and facility, what would be our situation!). You should also understand the common men’s psyche. They are very much same and have similar type of struggle whether they are of Maharashtra, U.P., Bihar or any other state.
Here, it should be clear, we aren’t demanding that you should represent us (Bhaiya) rather we feel proud when we see you as an apple of whole Indian eyes. But that case was demanding something to you. We have exorbitant rage against them, we are fluttering with anger. But what can we do. These flippant leaders are defending their trivial work on name of struggle of Maharashtrian people. It is extreme of shamelessness. If they have any problem with seats, reservations…if they really feel that others have snatched their rights, they should fight with shame height. They are targeting those, who are already a victim of system and they haven’t time even from searching basics to think all about. They aren’t aware of what is going in background. We were entitled to listen only these lines from you through media. But you didn’t and what did, it was heart-breaking for us.
If you can’t lead us why are you misleading? How can you criticize ‘Slumdog millionaire’ on the basis of selling poverty or showing only negative part of India! I would like to know positivity of India to you. My respected friend, you aren’t aware with statistics. Only ten to fifteen percent of people have hired all the resources of this country. They have profound money. Their children are taking education abroad, have every luxury of life. Despite this, they are scared of unknown evils and moving this to that temple. Do you to represent them as you are doing now a days. But what about rest of population! They are the real India, sir ji.
A million dollar question is why are you not making this type of movie? Are you not aware with begging children, abusive police, rag-pickers and slums? Have you not heard about those rackets which are involved to make children blind and force to beg? I think communal-frenzy isn’t a big issue anymore in our great India. Whatever we have seen in reality is more heinous, brutal and disgusting than ‘Slumdog millionaire’. Ample of Indian mass have huge reluctance with their destiny. They know very well that it isn’t real and desired; they are the victim of some intrigue.
Then again few question raise here, how will we get platform? Who will raise our voice? How will ruling class know about our panic situation to work further? Although it is quite tough to say they will work for that. Now we have realized, you at least won’t do this job because you are very much busy to digest your gigantic appetite (Hazmola, koi bhi behana chalega to fir yahi behana kyo nhi). Then, why are you disrupting those people who are coming forward to present us? After being a foreigner, they are trying to give us their voice. Why are you not receiving these activities in such manner? I think rather complaining, we should show our gratitude and under obligation to them.
Now, time has been changed. Your angry-young-man formula won’t work in this era. Situation is more complex than seventy’s decades. Revolution of information technology has changed scenario. It has been proved outstanding for them and made their task very easy. Now, they have to only hide information about their wrong-doing. Because they have full ownership on every resource of information, they are able to impose a eye, after manipulating information. And our whole effort of betterment of society has confined to bring reality at platform. I don’t know innocently or in planned fashion, you are helping them to stop information about deprived class from coming forward.
No doubt, both Arvind Adiga and Danny Boyle have done fabulous job to select their side. But unfortunately they are unsuccessful to put soul in their creation. Because they have seen India with imposed eye which has been imposed by our ruling class. Means, with a sense of shinning India. Of course India is shinning for them (ruling class).you can see oofy personalities, who are giving gift of rupees four hundred crore to their better half on birthday without any feeling of shame (this amount can change fate of millions of people). But what about us! We aren’t able to greet even with single flower to our beloved because scared of moral police, including your Bal Thackeray’s party also. They can insult us on any crossing in limitless fashion.
Our ruling class has got success to trap world-community, to percept India as a conqueror after doing huge struggle. ‘Balram Halwai’ in ‘The White Tiger’ and ‘Jamal Chai wala’ in SM are (representing) India in their view. Arvind Adiga and Danny Boyle have seen India with winner’s eye and how much duo are biased, forced to prove it, you can see easily in both form of creation. Both characters have got many dramatic favours which is unbelievable to reach only at winning destination. Balram Halwai becomes entrepreneur after committing a murder (in normal case, a common man takes every responsibility of power’s wrong doing) and Jamal becomes strong, smart and fluent in English language after falling of rapid running train. Here, we aren’t getting any subsidy from any aspect of life/struggle.
Specially, Danny Boyle is very diplomatic to show Indian crisis. His slumdogs aren’t real. They are confident, have good looking-charming face and they have no tension of basics. Rather there should be a type of fear of power, cough (tuberculosis), eyes inclined inwards, a terrible hunger, a lifetime struggle of basics. Boyle’s characters are looking like wicked, clever who belong to ruling class and have done smart make-up to divert those wishes who want to understand reality. His childdogs are reading three musketeers and here children haven’t seen face of school even, after various lollypop of worthless governments. In a scene of SM, when a policeman runs after both children, Jamal and his brother with abusive language, suddenly their mother emerges in scene and says sorry. What happens, do you know? Surprisingly, police person goes to return. Sir this isn’t a real case at all. Common people don’t want to face them ever in their life because they (police) are the father of moral police, what I have mentioned earlier.
So, I want to say here, creating poverty, making us poor should be in discussion not to show it. Culprits are treating poor people then they have no any problem and if he has explained, they are furious. Rather, it should be appreciated because it is a tool of democracy to get attention for deprived class. And if you have any problem with foreigners, you should take initiatives. If you don’t, please don’t divert innocent people. For your kind information, majority of that class are illiterate, they haven’t time to think deeply- what is good and bad for them. So, they follow you innocently (so why you are a big figure and eating hazmola frequently). You can’t do anything with the name of rights and duties which have been mentioned in our constitution. You have some invisible onus as well, because your single statement leaves a big impact on Indian innocent cognition and you are supposed to understand it.
Thanking you,

Agony of my first by-line
The ‘Kirit Parikh committee’ is set up to recommend a fuel price policy, is due to submit its report on today (February 3). It is believed that this committee wants to make petrol and diesel pricing completely free of government intervention. The panel has recommended only six cylinders annually to a household. If additional cylinder is needed then it would cost double of the rate of a cylinder which is now priced at Rs 300 for 14.8 kg LPG.
Before two days, on Monday, my first by-line appeared on the very same issue but with different angle. I focused on the commercial uses of these LPG, subsidized for common family. I found while reporting that situation was worst than my expectation. Do you know guys; not a single shop I found where authorized commercial cylinders were being used. Not for show even.
One of civilians, whose version has been included in my report, lamented over the stringent rule of applying for refilling the cylinder after at least 21 days from last delivery date of cylinder. He complained a lot, but one line in those would be pertinent here that whenever a crisis appears, administration imposes restrictions on the common man instead of those who are illegally involved and are one of the main cause of the existing problem.
An interesting fact that these days a lot of hues and cries are on the surface related to the LPG crisis and administration is continuously promising to remove the crisis and to take stern action against illegal uses of LPG. Seeking version for my story, when I talked to Assistant Food Controller, Vivek Saxena, what he stated, have been written in the story. Apart from this in the response of his question, I detailed him with the proper addresses, of the places of illegal uses of cylinders. (It could be seen anywhere without giving special effort through our naked eyes). He befooled me after saying that we are going to start a drive again to stop such uses from very tomorrow. I realized from his extra-sweet treatment for me but at that moment my enthusiasm was not ready to heed anything apart from by-line.
Friends, it’s quite heart-breaking that not a single LPG cylinder had been lifted from the market due to my first honest effort. When I am passing through those shops where I went for survey, they are treating me with very dread smile. And now the latest buzz, Kirit Parikh committee’s recommendations…………….

A Kalyugi Karna and Dearth of Hockey
It appears that Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has immense affection for the sports, that’s why he is hurling money on national men and women hockey team. He has emerged as the divine power to save the national game. It’s nice! He has also requested the politicians to keep sports far from their political ambit. Wow! We have got a Daanveer Karna in this Ghanghor Kalyug even.
This generation hasn’t seen such kind of great politician so I think we are unable to digest it. What about you? You may. But I can’t.
Once I with one of my good friends did reporting on the tragedy of hockey in state capital in the first weak of October last year for our weekly lab journal ‘Vikalp’. (This is the toughest reporting, I have done hitherto.)
And what we found after the reporting that ‘All India Obedulla Khan Gold Hockey tournament’ a dear event for the state hasn’t been taking place since 2003 due to the local politics. Organizing this tournament was the matter of proud for Bhopal in the past and was impossible to even imagine any national or international team without players from the state. All the credit goes to the charm of this tournament in the state behind such perception.
Two people Gufran-e-azam and Dhruvnarayan Singh, one is pro-Congress and the other is pro-BJP and both led the Bhopal Hockey Federation with their own concepts. Both of them claim that the federation they lead is real one and due to this ongoing conflict hockey Bhopal is being played in the court instead of ground since 2003.
Here the great lover of sports and Masiha, Chouhan replaced Babulal Gaur and became Chief Minister of the MP on November 29, 2005. Since then he is the ruling authority of the state and he hasn’t taken a single step to regain the pride state has lost.
But without giving single effort for the state sports he is ready to do everything for national sports. What is this? Just try to understand.. The stimulus package he provided to the team and federation to eradicate the unhealthy situation of female hockey players and he was also trying to take credit in male hockey team’s crisis
Or just go through a new angle, he was just about to win the game means after gorgeous gain of credit, in male hockey team without giving single penny because federation denied his help. He was trapped after opening a Pandora’s Box referring to hockey from which he was not aware of, by women hockey team practicing now –a-days in Sai Center of Bhopal which is one of the products of the box. And now under compulsion he is taking suo motto action with pseudo kindness.
One more information would be pertinent here that former Chief Minister of MP, Digvijay Singh, CM of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati with many others have also announced for some support to the really suffering sport. It means politicians and their politics have been involved after Chouhan’s initiative. But what is wrong! If Chouhan can surge himself, why cant the others…..

3 idiot: An idiotic justification of incompetency
Talking about, the most successful film, referring to revenue collection in the history of bollywood and controversial over idea theft, movie ‘3 Idiots’, is quite tough. Even Taran Adarsh and other critics of cinema have revealed their surprise about the success of ‘3 Idiots’. Undoubtedly, such kinds of responses from the critical side of the movie convey its normality and nothing else. I mean that Amir Khan’s ‘3 idiot’ is not extra-ordinary movie to think over it. But the Box-office collection of the movie compels to talk and engross our selves to find out the reason behind the success of the movie.
Rather reliability of critics can be questioned and my dependency on them as well, but none can deny the fact that this movie is far behind from Aamir’s other movies like ‘Rang De Basanti’, ‘Tare Jamin Par’ and all.
‘3 idiots’ is based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel ‘Five Point Someone’ in which the relevancy of education system of the country has been criticized on basis of producing rattu-mulls. Though, it’s being denied by creative team of the movie. Whatever it is not the matter of discussion here. Our focus of concern would be to find out why this movie is that much hit (revenue collection, farce criteria to check a movie).
The question is which kind of criteria should be followed in schools and colleges so that rattu-mulls should be stopped from coming in scene or to push anti- rattu team one-step ahead so that our education system can be justified. I think this is the lack of competency of anti- rattu team which is demanding reservation for pushing them on apex with their incompetency. I am not supporting the on-going education system in the country because lacunae in Maikale’s gift to India are well identified and there is need to work over it.
But I think those who-ever are managing themselves according to present education system are not joker rather more competent and flexible to adjust anywhere. And they are proving it while working in the field. May be they are working with private-organizations and instead of the proper utilization of their talent they are forced to work as money making machines. That’s different thing but their flexibility and competency can’t be denied.
Simultaneously, people who are unable to fold themselves according to the available system can’t be justified after raising fingers on system. And who can predict that these incompetent people could adjust in different education system in a better manner. It’s a matter of rationalize thinking and honest as well after rejecting personal instinct of justifying.
The second thought related to issue is how far film-makers are from the problem of the mass. In the movie, students have denied adopting the present curriculum of study in the leading of Rancho (Aamir Khan) in the movie. It’s good to go for personal interest because to do justice with self. Undoubtedly anyone can perform better with his/her first choice compared to a second one. And even monetarily failed with the favorite periphery of self could be justified in this zone of discussion.
In the movie, Rancho, the leader of this campaign rejects the system impressively and disappears from the scene. When he is being searched by his friends accompanied by his girl friend too...Their would be common expectation from the viewer’ side that Rancho wouldn’t lost the struggle even after going to verge of destroy financially. This is the state where viewers could relate themselves from him because all denials of system are not able to transform it in success rather percentage of such success is incredibly less. But he appears as a scientist in the climax of movie with very film end.
Few facts are also available which discredit the movie worth such gain, what ever it has got, like the repetition of his feeble emotions. We can consider here the usages of orphans and orphanage in ‘3 idiots’ after its use in ‘Tare Jamin Par’. What does he try to show handicaps children with him not in normal look but with their disturbing look? It’s shameful for the so called perfectionist, innovator and intellectual of our own bollywood. Aamir’ effort to sensitize viewers in this manner shows his command over the on-going problems of mass now days….rather we can discuss it later why it is ethically wrong.
So, after such kind of lacunas, why movie has got that much success at the box-office! Notably there is not anything special (outstanding) in the movie referring to music, comedy and other aspects which contribute in the success of any movie. We can go through two dimensions to catch the bird which has made it excellent and worth earning over Rs 350 crore.
One is the marketing in newly emerged mall culture with providing maximum possible print at the date of release and the second is youths who have found themselves failure in this education system but perceiving it wrongly using hard-workers and flexible personalities as scapegoat to express their anger.

How government would be apprised about plight of time!
Potti Sriramulu led the separation of Andhra Pradesh as first linguistic province in India almost six decades ago by a fast unto death. This as initials paved the way for separation of states on the basis of language.
Telangana Rashtra Samiti president K Chandrasekhar Rao’s recent fast unto death again pushed the government to take action, in same fashion. We have to wait and watch for the tentative result of his fast, because there are many forces working which can affect the related result.
But ‘fast unto death’ is again on forefront as a weapon in democracy. One question is emerging that, is it right to go for such kind of practice especially to pressurize the government for any demand. It can be said in the response that people are not using it for the betterment of human society, rather their ultimate goal is to hone their political career and it ends each and every possibilities of dialogue between parties involved in conflict.
Mr. M K Gandhi also used it in 1914 to protest against the racial laws of South Africa and it became the central feature of all his protest in India as well. But in that stratum of philosophical and political arena it is articulated as an instrument to purify self and tame all the evil forces, which comes in between path of truth.
Here allegation is that, such kind of deliberately denial of food is not being used to restrict the negativity of self rather for political gain. But the unfortunate part of the whole scene is that all the effort which is putting pressure on government, is being perceived as the weapon of political gain. That may be any sort of agitation which is not favoring the government.
In country like India, where democracy is in practice, as a tool of governance in which common mass is loosing each and every technique to oppose the government. Not by the force only, but also by the emotional atyachar (ethical and emotional teaching) on the name of country and its development.
Government (power) is free to fall up to any extent without any restriction. We can consider Neelofar and Asiya rape and murder case in Sophian for example. All the evidences were systematically and deliberately fabricated, tampered and destroyed to conceal the truth. The role, and so that the nature of state was exposed there, where, those Sophian ladies are still struggling for their last right to die with dignity even after their death.
On the name of contribution in so called democracy, a common person of the country has the right to vote and select his/her representatives. Importance of that single vote can be easily understood by a simple survey among voters that what they think while going to vote and which kind of forces direct their voting. And interesting point is that people have to use that power of vote efficiently and maintain a sort of killing silence so that normalcy and dialogue between parties could be possible, as per the demand and expectation of the government.
The opposition to use fast as a weapon to present our discontentment is leading us to the conclusion that, as the citizens of India we have no way to demand, present our wish and oppose the wrong doing of power. We are only entitled to live like mute spectators, in biggest democracy of the world, even after the encroachments in our personal ambit.
