Govt. Gone Mad

Seems like our beloved HRD Minister Mr. Arjun Singh feels he's much more intelligent than all the people who're running IIT's and IIM's. Or may be he feels like he's better than all those resident doctors who are fighting against this unjustice.

Personally I think that it was only Arjun singh, who has gone out of his brains, but now seems this govt. in whole has gone nuts. Just to increase there vote bank, they are now planning to increase seats in all higher level educational institutes. For which an additional burden of Rs. 8000 crores is expected. So from where will this money come from? Will these politicians be paying from there own pocket for all that bribes they have accumated in there whole life? Well obvious answer is that it will be taken from us, the common man will be shelling out from his own pocket.
It will be same what happend last time, the govt. falied to detect Kargil intrusion, and then later on common man was paying an additonal tax for it. And moreover the problem is not to pay tax, problem is that this additional 8000 crores which will come, 7999.9999999999 crores will go into the pockets of these crooks which shows there nice face in public but actually are eating this country in whole.


I still, personally admire the medicos students are single handedly fighting this war of injustice. Mr. Arjun Singh doesn't seem to budge, or infact no one in this govt. seems to care, because they all know when they need medical help, these crooks will be going to hospitals like Apollo or may be travelling to US for their treatment.


What I feel is that now the time has come that the President of India should stop acting like a rubber stamp. He must act now to push this govt. to back foot, otherwise Congress party is doing what its known do best. "DIVIDING THIS COUNTRY"

Mandal - II

I was wondering where we’re heading to? Is this the same country of which we all have dreamed of? I was in school at the time of Mandal-I, and that time we use to wonder that what has really happened? It was nice all along and suddenly we were told that “Oh! You’re from general category, MAN! You don’t even get a job now, because of this Mandal commission” Those were the times that V.P. Singh was like devil for us(he's still for me), and now Arjun Singh (adding another one in the long list) must be the same. That’s a different story that I still managed to get a good job, but it gave us such a fear that our lives have been spoiled by these dirty politicians. Because over all my impression is that these people are bunch of crooks, who are not at all worried about the development of country, all they are worried about is how to make tons of money, consider the caste as a vote bank. Sometimes I do wonder, is the system in which we’re living, is good enough? Aren’t these politicians to be hanged on the road side for what they’re doing. These are the people who are filling in venom in common man, just by stating it off different caste, different religion etc. For me mandal doesn’t make any difference, but imagine a situation where there is a kid who belongs to a higher caste but doesn’t have enough resources that he can go to a good school or may be good college. But because he doesn’t belong to OBC/SC/ST he won’t get reservation. Shouldn’t we look at this problem by financial status of the person? And shouldn’t we give reservation to just 2 generations? I mean imagine a situation that I belong to a poor family and I got a reservation with which I get a job, so the system (govt.) fulfilled its part to get me a good job, which in turn means that my financial status will improve. Now considering that my son/daughter will need little assistance, so s/he too gets reservation, so 2 generations from family gets it which means they come at par or at some level to support there next kin. That’s it! The reservation should now stop for them and they must be considered under general category. So with this what I feel is that govt. will be able to eradicate the whole system within 50-70 years. Hopefully god gives some thought to our politicians too, and they stop dividing this country on caste and religion.

The Joy Of My Life

My precious little baby boy is the joy of my life. He is now 8 months old and watching him grow day by day is no less of a miracle for me. I feel overwhelmed to see him laugh, to cry, to play and all I can think is that he is my blood, a part of me and my love. How can I not love someone who is a part of me.

It feels just like yesterday that he was born and the first time I saw him, there were tears of joy in my eyes, bec he seemed more beautiful to me than anything in this whole world. My heart was filled with pride and I was so happy that it is difficult for me to even express in words as to how immensly glad I was and how proud it felt to be a DAD. My much awaited little bundle of joy was finally here. Looking at him all bundled up in his blanket after coming out of the delivery room I could just imagine the future, and I started dreaming that soon he will be crawling, then walking and then talking and playing with me.

Well so far my dream has come true. I enjoy every moment of being with him and playing with him and making him laugh and teaching him to stand and walk. I am so exhilirated and delighted at being a proud father of such a wonderful baby that all the diaper changing and midnight feedings seem negligible in front of all that.


This my friends is the thrill of being a father, a feeling that cannot be fully expressed in words but is to be felt.
and about my precious little one I will keep you all updated on him and his new antics.

Foolish law makers

I recently had the experience of purchasing a used car in the state of New Jersey (USA). At that time I was not having a NJ (or infact a US) driver's license (DL), but I did have an International driver's license (IDL) as well as my Indian DL confirming that I know how to drive and have been doing for a long time.

So before going to DMV, I called them up to confirm if I can buy the car on international driver's license, and they said YES. So there I was standing in a long queue, to get my car registered and thinking and dreaming that finally I'll own this car and go on a long drive with my family. Once I reached the counter, the lady behind the desk, politely handed me a form to fill. So I was excited and started filling in all the columns. And then I reached a column which said "NJ DL number", so I asked the lady if its necessary to fill this? She gave me a puzzled look as if I have done something wrong, or may be she was looking at me as if I resemble Osama bin laden! ( which I don't by the way :o))

Anyway even after such a look, I regained my guts to ask her again. She then frowned and sharply replied "You cannot buy a car without NJ DL". and gave me another look as if I had asked something very absurd. I again politely asked her, that why do I need to have a state license just to buy a car. License is needed when we drive a car not to buy a car, and for driving, I was already having an IDL, which should have been sufficient. But her reply was a standard one, that without a state license, I cannot buy a car, and then she refused to attend to me.

So now I was really pissed off on people who made these stupid laws. So my small and unintelligent brain asked her one last question. I again went up to her, and asked politely "Excuse me! I have a situation, I wish to buy a car (as I have the money to buy it) but I won't be driving it. I'll keep a chauffeur to drive it. So now what do u want? Shall I buy this car on my chauffeur's name? And let him enjoy the ownership of the car?" This was the last question from me and she was unimaginably speechless & confused. All her mouth could utter was "I'm sorry, but our rule book says you need to have a state license to buy a car" (a standard reply given by govt. employee, no matter even if its US)

Who the hell made this law? What a stupid law! As far I can think, does Bill Gates need a driver's license to buy a car in US? Or is that Donald Trump would be asked for a driver's license when he goes in to buy a car? But thinking all this actually makes me laugh, as this is the country where you cannot buy a car without DL, but yes you can buy guns off the shelf. Is this what's known as a 'developed nation'?

'Tongue Of Steel'

Well here I am,sitting and writing down as 'tongue of steel'. Actually somehow I got inspired to open my own blog spot by the very man who gave me this title as 'tongue of steel'. The history of this name goes back to the summer of April 2004 when I joined a company and found a bunch of geeks doing some serious stuff in medical industry.

So there I was, and despite being into such serious stuff, we were a bunch of people who would laugh and crack jokes whole day (along with which we had a track record that we never missed a deadline). So while cracking all these jokes and leg pulling of each other, somehow I found that in few instances I didn't even spare the Vice President of the company (and ofcourse not to mention my boss was also not spared). So finally with all this fun and partying, I got this nick name as 'Tongue Of Steel'

However I would like to mention that as a team we were one of the best in the city, and I still miss those fun moments. Now it has been more than 6 months that this team has scattered to different companies and continents, but we are still in touch with each and I still admire the person who gave me this title, as he is a mentor to me.
