The 'verdict' sets an example

It is not difficult to guess that I am talking about the recent 'Babri verdict'. The Indian judicial system does not give us alot of chances to be pleased. This was one of those rare decisions that made me proud of the system and I truly felt that we do have some intelligent uncorrupted people sitting out there delivering verdicts. The very rare breed of people who thought a good verdict will be more important than controversies and politics.

I am not a hardcore Hindu extremist nor among the lines of highly secular people. My thoughts are just of a common man who wants to live his life with peace and let live. I am one of the common next gen India. Dividing the land into 3 equal parts and keeping everybody happy was the best that could happen. Lets see it this way, Hindus are 2/3rd population of the country so they get that much land and Muslims are 1/3rd and so they get 33%. Now there are people who might have different reasons to be happy or sad about the verdict.

Hardcore Hindu extremists who where hell bent on building a temple will be happy that it is finally proved that the place is now proved to be the birthplace of Lord Ram and they will get the land that they wanted to use to build a temple. Muslim extremists unhappy about a mosque being demolished would be happy that finally justice prevails and the court agree that what happened was wrong and they get 1/3rd land which can be used to build a mosque. The common man is happy that finally it is over.No more politics on it. No more people dying cause of it. And yes we are unhappy that no more half days in office whenever you declare that a verdict will be announced. But thats fine :-)

The next gen India truly do not care what you build there. We are very happy with a hospital or a school in that area. Yes we are focused only on GDP and growth. We do not care about the mistakes people did in the past. We look ahead to a bright future. A future that is good for all irrespective of the religion. We are not the generation who have gone through the pains of partition. We have not suffered and so we can let go. And its high time we do let go. A young Muslim or Hindu now should only think of what is going to happen in the future and to build a good present. We are on the road to be a super power and its time we find solutions to internal problems of corruption and politics rather than worrying on whether a temple is built or mosque. Don't we have toooo many already in the country? Do you visit them all anyways that you need more?

To all the Hindu extremists I would say that lets not forget that we did demolish a historical place which was wrong. Babar who built a mosque there after demolishing temples was an unjust ruler. Let us prove to the world that we are not. We are the majority in the country and let us behave like one. Let us take the responsibility to take the country to heights we have never been before. Let us lead the way. Let us let go minor issues. We got the land, do whatever with it but let there be peace.

To all the Muslim extremists I would say that lets not forget that what was broken was a place that was no longer worshipped. The people who have done it will come to justice. You are the leading minority in the country with a population more than any other secular country. You have all your rights in this country and are a part of the country. A good future to the country is ours to be. You have the land, do whatever with it but let there be peace.

And to all the people fighting for the land irrespective of your religion, please be informed that the next generation India is together and they do not care about temple or mosques. We have the vision to look ahead. We have the heart to let go. We need a good place where our kids will be born. We need them to be born in a country which is developed and where people do not die of hunger. We want the world to realize that we cannot be taken lightly anymore. And if you are so hell bent on fighting, look around, half of Kashmir and half of Arunachal Pradesh is taken over by our neighbours. Fight with them and not among ourselves.

Jai Hind!!

Cheers!

Law of conservation of FUN....

I know you are not surprised. After my theory of balance, this will not be a very unexpected topic. And as usual I came up with this law not after some real deep philosophical studies but soon after I finished doing 'bakwaas' with my friend Amol.Now people who do not know him much, he is a guy who will not be very talkative but his brain is made up of some real practical world examples and laws.I am sorry but I cannot quote most of them here. My posts are more like family movies you see. Some things have to be avoided :-)

So back on the topic, we all are aware of laws from great people.Like the law of Rajnikant, he says "For every action,there is an equal and opposite reaction, but when Rajnikant does some action, there is no reaction". Similarly we have the law of conservation of fun, "Fun can neither be created nor destroyed.It can only be transferred from one time to another". Makes sense right? Children who do not have fun in school or colleges are assumed to study well and make more money later.They have their share of fun in the later stages of life.So its only a matter of time when you have your fun. It, like energy, is constant. You can have fun at only some point of time.Now there can be n number of examples which can be told to prove it. I just gave one and Iam sure I will not be giving more.I want you guys to ponder on it and later agree to me ;-)

My colleagues assume I am having fun when I am on site.But it is not actually true.I am here for the money right. You cant be said to have fun when you have to go back home from office and cook your own food. And specially this to someone who is not used to even have a glass of water by self.Its not fun. But I have the money coming. Now as per Einstein, energy and mass are inter-convertible.similarly as per our law, Money and fun are inter-convertible. So now I am not having fun but money , later I can have the fun and spend that money.Seems like these guys (the newtons and group) have not only given us laws of science but also laid the foundation for real world laws that govern the world.

Again this is on the assumption that I would have the privilege to spend the money I earn. But lets say ,I get married. Now every married man knows that they can never calculate the cost of their marriage, cause they pay till they die. Then I may not be able to convert the money to fun. Or may be i can, but my theory of balance would come into picture.The total amount of fun remains constant.Yes that's right, its the theory of balance coming into play. God bless the soul who came up with that theory.

What!! Is it getting confusing? Do not mind, you would understand with time. Even the Theory of Relativity was understood by very very few people in the start. It was also as confusing as these laws and theories of mine. Or may be its confusing me also!! I think I should quit and end this post and go and have some fun.

Cheers!!

PS: I just read back what I wrote. The first thing that came on my mind was' What Crap!!' ;-)

And the US Revolted...

No, for those who know I am in USA, I am not talking about the USA revolting against me. Though I know I have the caliber where the entire nation can come together and say that it's enough. We have taken alot of your shit but not him....But that did not happen. I am not talking about that revolt.This revolution happened in the earlier centuries.Its not in the history. Guess you have watched 'Lagaan' and know the famous AB dialogue where he says "..ye kahani itihass k panno main kahin kho gayi..." something of that sort :-)

I noticed about this revolution as soon as I landed in this country. Gave it a thought for 2 weeks and then decided that let me pen this great revolution which our history books missed.May be if I earn even half the money Aamir khan earned with Lagaan, I would be more than glad. As soon as i was out on the road I noticed people driving on the wrong side of the road. ( Ya, that's what we thing 'wrong side' and not 'other side'). I was aware of this fact earlier but watching it was just the start where I thought about the great revolution. People sitting in the cars on the left side and driving on the right. That's not what we do in India as we follow the English.

Now here's the real punch. Long time ago, the English rules the entire world. Almost. it included Australia and US also. Suddenly the US people ( since they are more advanced then us, the woke up early and did not wait for 150years before starting the fight for independence) woke up and decided that enough of this shit. We revolt against the English. And that day they decided we would do everything against them.

That's when they started driving on the other side. :-) And they did not stop. They decided to do everything opposite. We normally feel that people living on credit are not so good and debit card is preferred. Here they would charge you more if you are using your debit card. Only credit cards would work in some places. Credit history is the most important. So what matters is how much you take credit and re-pay it. If you have enough money that you can pay all be debit you would be considered a fool. Even the law needs credit history. They decided that we would change the direction of electrical switches. So if in India ( we are strong UK followers ok ) we push the switch down as ON, here you would have to push it up. I mean common..and if you feel its weird wait till i tell you this.....

And do not mind if I am being gross,but they revolted against the English even in the loo. Normal Loo's will be empty. You do your work,flush and go back.Here they are filled with water. I mean what the hell!!! The first place i saw it , i thought the drainage might be choked.(please do not assume, the water was crystal clear). Later i realised that's how the Loo's here are.
You know there would be many things like that. I would not count them on but that's the great revolution the US guys did. They went opposite in everything the English did. But sadly " Ye kahani bhi itihass k panno main kahi kho gay"..lol

Cheers!!
