I was thinking if reservation can really help underprivileged then let's extend the same concept to each and every field. And this post here from Lavanya explains the same.

A lot of heated argument is taking place about Mandal II bill.Well!! here is my two bit for the protest of this bill with some reasoning’s.Negatives of having reservation!!Entrenching reservation on basis of Caste directly attacks the national unity, it will do nothing but create further divisions between the untouchables and upper cast.

I stumbled across this news today and stumbled further as I read it. It sounded funny in the beginning and I laughed my heart out at the imagination of Mr. Shakeel Ahmad, Minister of State for IT and Telecom, as I read the complete post. At the end of the post I was trying to find out something that would say “April Fool” or something…. Then I realized, no it’s not April yet and the guy is

Most of us Jamshedpurian’s are aware and feel proud that Jamshedpur has been selected as the pilot city for Global Compact City program. There is no doubt that Jamshedpur is one among some of the very few cities in India where the living standard, the social culture, the environment is not good but “Best”. I myself have grown up and spent 18 years of my life there, till I was forced to move out

I couldn’t understand why R.P. Singh was awarded the Man of the Match Award for the second test in Faisalabad. It’s understandable that award could not go in favor of batsman, because the pitch was in their favor and so it becomes imperative that any good work from the bowler’s side be rewarded, but then why not Zaheer Khan? He took 7 wickets and R.P. Singh took 5. They both bowled almost the

When the Central Government passed the RTI (Right to Information Act) bill sometime back, I was more than happy. For I knew this is one among several good measures taken by the Government that would help crib the corruption and expose frauds. And a true example is right here. All we need now is to make good utilization of this act and help make India better.

A lot was said during the infamous “Shakti Sting” operation that the conduct of trespassing into private spaces should not be allowed.Noted Director Mahesh Bhatt opposed the Sting Operation and went ahead to say that it was aimed at "catching eyeballs" and boosting TRP ratings.Condemning the way the sting operation was conducted, director Sawant Kumar had said, "had the actor been caught luring

A recent statement from newly elected Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on spat between Maharashtrians and non-Maharashtrians at Mumbai’s J J Hospital campus is something to applaud for. This is what he said:“Mumbai, being the economic capital of the country, is built on the efforts of all Indians and people from Bihar have contributed immensely to it.

I had written about the reservations in Educational institutions some time back and about the fight between the SC and the Political parties for imposing these reservations in Private Institutes. Today reading this news I am totally shocked at the legislature’s behavior of ignoring the judicial decision and forcing the *law*. But I am confused now. If the decision of the highest body of Judiciary

This is an excellent piece of article that I received from rediff and I liked it so much, more because I had myself been a part of that ruined state of Bihar once, that I would like to reproduce the same here in my corner of the web. And despite this fact produced here our Prime Minister holds the gut to applaud and support Lalu. November 22 is an important date in Bihar's electoral history.

I had thought so far that blogs are meant to express one’s views, random thoughts etc. But surely it is not the thing to be used for *selling* your stuffs. But no I was wrong, Indian filmmakers have started to market their movies through blogs. Note that All links to other blogs provided here talks about the same upcoming movie Apaharan.

The first ODI between India and SA was interesting. Interesting in the sense that how Indian team has learnt to fight back and not loose hope, which they were so accustomed to in the past. In the past the lower order batsman hardly had the spirit to pull through atleast 25-30 runs. Their had been several occasions when India just needed about 30 runs with enough balls to spare but just 3 wickets

In the recent Dulleep Trophy match between the East Zone VS West Zone, Zaheer got ganguly out for a duck in both the innings, exposing that the Bengal tiger still suffers from the same old weakness and has done nothing to improve on that ground.Anyone having a slightest knowledge about Indian cricket knows the fact that Ganguly fails to pull the short ball bowled on the leg side, correctly.Zaheer

Four wins in a row has sealed all entry points for Dada.

Few days back one of my friend asked me the question"wonder why the Indian media hasn't picked it up yet" when i wrote about the IIPM story.And I replied by saying..."No wonder to me - because I do not see many newspaper doing *Investigative Journalism* other than India Today (Aaj Tak to be precise) and Indian Express sometime....most of them tries to play safe and often gets biased by the Big

It may be a mere coincidence, but the very same fact sprung to my mind yesterday afternoon when a small thought about me paying taxes and the government utilizing it in the optimal way, hit my mind. I do not know how but a quiet similar thought to have such guidelines as laid down by Sonia Gandhi and cut down on *unwanted* expenses incurred by ministers on different affairs.Cheers!! to you Sonia…

The Truth about IIPM was Uncovered sometime back by Jam-mag in an article published by their journalist Rashmi Bansal. The thing got fire in the blog world and many fellow blogger wrote about the fraudulent activity of IIPM, one of them was Gaurav Sabnis.

Indian coach Greg Chappell has given a new twist to the ongoing conflict between him and the Indian Captain with his e-mail to the BCCI. The coach has reportedly termed skipper Sourav Ganguly 'mentally and physically unfit' to lead India.It also must surprise many to know of their differences since both Ganguly and Chappell have only been full of admiration for each other in the past.

Q: What do the top six ranked women heading into the U.S. Open today have in common? A: None has won a Grand Slam tournament in 2005.I will be in NY this weekend to watch the US Open - Women’s Final on Saturday 10th.A Couple of friends from my earlier project will be joining me there. It would be good to see them after a long time.

It's Labor Day on Monday and that marks the end of Summer here and with it closes the Swimming Pools :( Swimming was real fun this summer and unlike last summer this time I chose to stay at home for most of the time and go swimming rather than travelling places. I learned butterfly and back-floating this time along with deep diving. Now as Summer ends and Fall starts, there would no be much

Since Gaurav does not keeps his Comments section Open to ALL, I have to reply to his message here.Well to my response, Gaurav gives an example of “woman wearing a lot of jewellery on a deserted street and getting robbed” and tweaked his words nicely in his favour to say that “she wanted the jewellery to be stolen”. No one will definitely want herself to be robbed, but had she been more careful

Read this post from some Gaurav Sabnis from the blog world. He has very ironically made fun of another blogger fellow Prakash who dared to comment and criticize on Gaurav's view.I read the views of both the fellow bloggers and thinks Gaurav's oint of view to be too much self centric and biased. He portrayes himself as GOD by saying "There have been several occasions when a pretty woman passing by

Look at the score card for the India vs New Zealand match (August 26, 2005), 2nd ODI played at Bulawayo. All the great Indian batsman were down for single digits and it was our great bowlers who made the great show with Irfan scoring 50 and Yadav making 69.Note that there strike rate is not so poor, it is infact good. I can’t understand why the so called batsman could not score any good figure

Now here goes the open fight between our Judiciary and the Legislature, the two has never been together and is the main reason that India is still on the developing country list. We must understand that Judiciary is independent of legislature and should not be ruled or governed by the decision of the corrupt politicians ruling the legislature.We are being paid back for being silent all these

Yesterday evening I was watching a treasure hunt game show, some shit name that I don’t remember, in which the participants has to go around the world seeking for clues from one destination to another. This time they had to fly all the way to Mumbai, India – film city to be exact to get their next clue and the director of the show could choose to show nothing but the slums, garbage bins and the

I had talked about the "Quota" system a few days back in my post "Finally they made me happy" but this news made me re-write on the reservation policy again, but this time with more focus on the "Women's Quota" system.The so called "Aaj Ki Naari" claims to be no way behind men and walks shoulder to shoulder with men. The female genes boast of their equality with men in each field and even of

Now, we have these Bangladeshi’s firing on us. As if Pakistanand China were not enough for the border disputes....This is the 5th time in about 4 months that BDR has opened fire on the Indian Army jawans with no appropriate reason. But still the world’s greatest democratic country maintains it’s silence.I understand the case with Pakistan and China and why India cannot react instantaneously, but

WAR ON TERRORThis article here from Juan Cole provides a good dig into the making of terrorists and the so called “War on Terror” launched by the US.It’s interesting to know the fact that it was the US itself who gave birth to terrorists and the terrorism and now it’s the same US again claiming to wipe out the same – very ironic…. huh!!

The issue had troubled me since my high school days; the issue of reservations in educational institutions against various quotas SC/ST, minority class, female quota, NRI quota and all that shit.I totally disliked it and thought how they can compromise education on basis of those things. What will happen if say a guy having a privilege of any of this quota qualifies MBBS entrance seeking minimal

The Indian Army, which is the most trusted part, is all infected by this growing plaque. CVC Report shows Millions of dollars drained

Ganguly was just 46 runs short of joining the exclusive club of batsmen who have scored 10,000 runs in one-day internationals, but his poor run of form and now the ban imposed on him for the next 6 ODI has made him to wait longer. Before the beginning of this series he would have surely dreamt of getting himself into this elite club before the series ends.The matter could be even worst if the

Come Saturday and India will play Pakistan on Keenan Stadium, Jamshedpur. I Just wish I could be there to watch the team play, especially after all that blastering knocks from Dhoni and Veeru at Vizag.Keenan Stadium has a history that the Indian Team lost all matches that they played there so far except one. Keenan stadium in Jamshedpur hosted its first international ODI back in 1983.It took a

There has been a lot of discussion on the bloggers world about who should be the next captain for Team India. Well before naming anyone let us chalk out what qualities a captain should possess to lead the team successfully.1. In modern cricket, Australia has proven time and again that aggressiveness is the key to success - bash the opposition into submission. So we need a captain who is

Some where my own friends, some my friend’s friend and some my friend’s friend’s friend. But it was a nice tour with so many new friends or rather I should say chain of friends.

Read this on rediff today and this is what I had to say in response. "Page 3" is a movie from Madhur Bhandarkar a notable director from the Bollywood. Why do you think he had depicted a similar show in his movie, if the entire "Casting Couch" episode is falsified? He himself is a Director and one from the Bollywood bigwigs. You think he has just worked upon his imagination here?No, the entire

This is the kind of movie that was never made before and could never be made.Sanjay Leela Bansali has demonstrated his talent well through this magnificent movie. Amitabh and Rani are just wonderful, the best of their career I would say. Rani’s act in the entire movie is more than appreciable, she played the part of Mitchell as if she herself had been blind and deaf from birth, a pure natural act

Now here is something you called “Irony” Bollywood Celebrities Ads for PETA I can swear to oath that none of these stars have themselves given up eating Non-Veg foods. And they are calling for people to stop cow slaughter for meat.

Today is the day three brave men gave their lives for their country. They were no ordinary men. They were men who dedicated their lives, who fought the British till their last breath. One of these men, who's a bit more famous than the other two, went on a fast for 52 days at a stretch!!! I'm not sure if even half a million in this country know about this great deed!

Ketan Mehata’s “The Rising” is scheduled for release on June. It is exciting to see how he portrays the hero of the freedom struggle “Mangal Pandey” who we all know was the first soldier in the British army to revolt against the use of animal fat coated bullets.

The role of oppositions is funny and they make themselves funnier with their act. When a party takes the opposition seat, they believe their sole task is to oppose any reforms or agenda put forward by the ruling. So whenever any issue is put forward by the ruling party our opposition has to (as if it is mandated) step forward and oppose the same without even knowing the details of it or making

The Fringe Benefit Tax to be imposed by the government as proposed in the new budget session would put a lot of people into a twist of Tax calculation and correct return filing.The fringe benefit tax is based on the universal principle of cost to company which means all reimbursements made by the employee from the company will fall under this tax category. Even the expenses such as Travel,

I was having Fever for last 4 days. Initially I thought it may be just because of the change in whether condition, but then the symptoms showed that it is Flu. Rushed to the doctor on Sunday when the temp rose to 102. Feeling better today.... so joined the office. Took leave from the office for Mon-Tue to take rest, but those were the most boring days I ever faced. I kept lying on the bed whole

Since the day I have been into Job I have observed that many people stay in the office till late evening. Initially I appreciated it and thought how hard work these guys are putting up to meet the project deadline and providing production support. But gradually I started realising that more than 70% of these hard working guys really don't do such hard work. They stay late in the office either

Last weekend got some time out from the hectic schedule and went skiing with a couple of friends (check the Photos here). It was real fun, sliding down the snow with all speed and the moment you tried to stop yourself or slow down... you are down :)) We reached there at about noon and then rented the Ski kits that costed about $70 per person. The boot was real heavy and once you wear it, you got

I observe that the developement rate of the city of jamshedpur has been very slow for over past few years. If it goes at the same growth rate for some more years it will soon be decaying just like Kanpur did. The infrastructure of the city need changes, with more recreational and entertainment facilities for the residents. The most urgent and demanding need is a decent movie hall in the city. The

It’s nice to see the way Indian masses have come up together to contribute and help for the aid of the Tsunami affected victims. But still there are lot more to be done and requires lot more of help both in terms of man power and money to re-establish the villages destroyed by the killer Tsunami. Corporate big wigs like Infy and TCS has done their part by contributing to the PM’s relief fund, but

The PM's was clear on his thoughts and I appreciate his decision.

Now this is really touchy, the rickshaw pullers in Salem contributed to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister' Public Relief Fund. Read the complete story here . This shows the big heart of the small. It shows how in times of miseries the entire India can come up together hand in hand to fight back. No wonder why the government has refused to accept the foreign aid currently.

Sunday was a black day for the coastal regions of South East Asia with thousands dead and hundreds of thousand missing as Tsunami hit these areas.

I drove upto Bhanu’s place on Friday morning and from there we headed to Edison were we had some good samosa and chat. The place is kinda chotta Gujarat with all those guju bhai’s and bhenji’s having shops in all corner of the street.

Yesterday evening it snowed and the entire surrounding was turned white. It continued through the night and laid a thick layer of snow on the windshield and roof of my car. I had to spend almost half an hour to clean up the whole thing. Had a real hard time standing in that chilling wind, cleaning up the entire mess. The door locks were all jammed and the snow had frozen hard on the windshield.

Read a post on Piyush's blog "Mind against the body", the entire plot was too inspiring. Inspiration - yes, that is the driving force that keeps you working on a boring project the result of which would be out at what extent of time you are not sure of. Well anyway I got highly inspired by his post and restarted to work out in the gym and burn my fat. Each day my mind had to beat my reluctant

It's being almost four years since I am working as an s/w engineer with TCS and I don't think that I have utilized even 10% of what I have studied in my engineering days. I sometime get a feeling that it was sheer waste of time; spending whole 4 years mugging up things which you are not sure will be required in your work. I did my engineering in Electronics and studied about Radar and

The temperature here has started to fall rapidly going as low as -2 degrees Celsius at night. It’s just the start of winter here and it will get worse by Dec-Jan. It’s been raining whole day today here and the cold breeze is piercing through the jacket and making the whole body freeze. The worst part of the winter season here is that you can’t go out much because of the cold and

It’s a mystery why we fall in Love. It is a mystery how it happens. It is a mystery when it comes. It is a mystery why some love grows and it is mystery why some love fails. You can analyze this mystery and look for reasons and causes, but you will never do anymore than take the life out of the experience. Just as life itself is more than the sum of the bones and muscles and electrical impulses

This Weekend I managed to make a brisk visit to Boston with Bhanu and Nilanjan accompanying me from NJ, to meet Viral Bhuta. All four of us had worked together at NSDL Project (Mumbai). Reaching there we parked our car at Viral’s place at his guidance and that resulted in a Ticket to our dear Daddu (Nilanjan) for Parking violation :-D And then we started on our hunt for a parking space.

Today morning was a day of shame.... A mass mailing worm infected my yahoo mailbox and mailed itself to numerous people picking up addresses from my address book. It was not an ordinary worm.... it came with a pornographic video or photos i am not sure, since I never opened it myself, but came to know of it from the flood of furious mails from all my old dear friends as a reply.

Last weekend, taking advantage of the Labour's Day Holiday on Monday, we planned for a 2 day tour to the City of NY. We rented a car and headed for the costliest city in the world on a nice Saturday morning. It was a bit cloudy then, and we all wished that it shouldnt rain or else it will spoil our entire plan. We reached NJ about noon, parked our car at Libert State Park and then
