Incorrigibility has become the lifeline of our workmanship. The falling of small kids and even adults in the uncovered manholes or in pits due to the negligence of agencies is something that cannot be allowed to be buried in the heaps of files.
Accident is something that happens unexpected, instantly and which does not lie in the domain of human management for that given particular period of time. Human progressive approach henceforth lies in improving the aberrations--- working on the shortfalls and striving not to let it happen.
Perennial re occurrence of manholes-- left uncovered cannot be termed as an accident--- not to be passed in such an astonishingly casual manner. But unfortunately neither the government nor any of the so called human rights organizations considered it worth enough a subject to be serious about.
Continuous loss of life due to negligence of authorities is a serious criminal matter which has not been looked through the prism of “Law of Torts”. Proper accountability and holding the concerned employee responsible with strict penalties as under the law is the call of the time.
It is surely about time to call off the bluff and adopt long term measures. After all it is State’s responsibility to ensure the safety of its citizens. Why wait for the day when CM be sued for every loss of life due to negligence of the State.

The stink of Mulayam under the garb of Lohia
There couldn’t have been a more perverted, cheap and unorthodox example of a politician in Indian History than the likes of Mulayam Singh Yadav and company. With such a rotten sense of thinking and stinking vision, these people sailing on dalit/SC/ST vote-bank politics and harping of on Ram Manohar Lohia’s name have literally taken India on to the dumping ground of vulgar and abusive benchmark of politics.
That our Democracy is so feeble and flexible is highlighted by such brand of eccentrics who are not even capable of sitting with statesmen and thinkers, let alone rule the country. That they have been on the golden platter of aristocracy by some fluke of good stars – surely they do make up that specific bunch of rowdies, criminals and misbehaved jokers who deserve a ticket to the prisons.
Ridiculing the women parliamentarians to be the one inviting whistlers, Mulayam must be asked to spell the bouts of whistles which his charming, good-looking, youthful daughter-in-law would have had while contesting the polls or how many times would he himself and his disgraced rustic clan would have whistled at beauty queens like Jayaprada, Hema Malini, or all those bevy of sexy heroines which they usually parade during election campaigns.
Well, not to ask about Jaya Bachan and Aishwarya Rai who have been family like in the past. Should we then believe that it was buy-one-get-one bonus and the party of socialists in the name of Ram Manohar Lohia used to have colourful bout of whistles at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo.
Well time for Jaya Bachan, who once roared that S P never leaves your hand once they hold it to take shelter in the following adage – “If you are guest of an own, you would have to hand upside down”. And of course, the merry round of whistles and tempting eyes which they would have always feasted on these sexy ladies.

Ansari’s cakewalk over the Women’s Bill
Hamid Ansari deserves kudos for efficiently handling the House during the Women’s Reservation Bill that was passed by a majority of 186 – 1. One could see not only the ferociousness that is needed to counter the lumpen MPs but the grace and dignity which he maintained even while admonishing the hooligans (wearing the garb of Members of Parliament) ----is what makes him a man of discipline, a person strong enough to take quick and tough decisions – someone who means business with a no non-sense approach.\
History would recall many in his shoes in the past have literally given-in to their nerves and broken down while handling the goondaism and humiliation of these official goons of the Parliament.
It is but unfortunate to see the standards and qualitative aspect of these MPs who look more as rowdies on the street and criminals of the most heinous crimes. No wonder 1/5th of the Parliamentarians have cases ranging upto 30 – 40s; including as barbarious and heinous as rapes, murders, attempt to murder, threatening, abductions, floundering the coffers of our Nation, frauds, etc.
Tearing off the copies of the Bill, throwing of microphones and other stationaries, spilling the torn pieces on the Vice President and humiliating him can no longer be termed as the accepted ways to oppose in any progressive democratic society. More than this, the limit was crossed when even after being physically thrown out of the house by Marshals - these loafers of our freat democract had the cheek to justify their act even to the extent of repeating it--- in the most vociferous tone of their voices.
Although there have been a few instances where I would really not agree with Mr. Ansari’s views and his way of working but the present case exposes his mettle and grit in maintaining the decorum of the House under the most severe and volatile conditions. Until some severe hard talking is not done and their rabid bark not tamed or till the time all parties do not filter out the best of the talent----- the day belongs to Mr Hamid Ansari.
Well, he is one man who knows the skill of having the cake,
and.....EAT IT TOOOOOOOOOOO .
CJI’s Misdemenour… the Proverbial Foot in The Mouth
It certainly does not behove a person of the stature of CJI K.G.Balakrishnan to advocate such a hollow suggestion that not only insults the dignity of a woman but pushes her to the position she held in the medieval era. It actually is devoid of any legal sense of justification that is obviously expected from such a legal luminary. It reflects the mindset of a Panchayat level where education, human sentiments and status of a woman hardly exist, rather than emanating from someone who is experienced to understand the plight of the victim and her horrendous journey to justice.
The statement made by the first Dalit Chief Justice of India that due regard should be given to the wishes of a rape victim if she chooses to marry the rapist or have the baby conceived as a result of the crime is hardly in line with what must be construed as a progressive measure in the affirmative direction of the status of the victims – be it in dalit, oppressed, backwards or general category. That the good Chief Justice should have gone down his memory lane to rekindle the experiences of the unprivileged in the society and the injustice his community still suffers, he would have been balanced in his emotional judicial activism.
One need not be an angel to fathom what the first and foremost wish of a rape victim would be. Rather than justice, pushing her to accept the humiliation and live with it throughout in suffocation is killing her not once but making her live each day in denial of self-respect and human dignity. Barring a remote fraction of any genuine hit, this would in fact license the rapists to take the shelter of this gory crime in fulfilling their nefarious wishes. It would be perhaps a cake walk to coerce the victim after being forcibly physical with her in the backdrop of socio-cultural-economical factors. It would in fact be a step forward to legalise the man who has outraged her modesty and encourage the society to actually rape women at the drop of a hat in order to escape the severe sections of IPC by marrying the victim.
Rape is surely not something that society should gloat over or for judiciary to undermine the fundamental rights of equality, gender self-respect and the right to live with dignity as enshrined in our constitution.
What is least expected from a dalit holding the top legal post is to refine reforms , speed up the process of justice to improve the lot of his clan in particular and the plight of victims in general.
Rape is a stigma to be cured rather to glorify with an emotional mask.

THE PERENNIAL INDIAN FALL
It has been happening almost on a daily basis. The only difference is the media coverage that either leads to one line obituary or at times a 24 hrs coverage of one particular child falling in the deep dug hole with full masala of channel crews lined up, reporters making a bee-line for the minister or CM…. Every hour “Breaking News” highlighting the vociferous attacks on the negligence of the administration, bit by bit panning of cameras on the inconsolable family members, interviewing the relatives and finally treating the incident – another story that made a common man do a momentary shocking up.
On March 02, 2010, a 12 year old boy drowned in a pit in South Delhi because the civic agencies forgot to fill up the ditch they dug. The tragedy remains as it ever was. One after the other incidents have failed to wake up the agencies from their slumber. Unprofessional working ethics, corruption, unwillingness, not fixing the responsibility factor, etc. have lead and would continue to lead many more lives into the death traps which could have been saved otherwise.
Except for running under the shelter of various excuses, things have not changed. The 10 – 30% commission of the Councillors, MLAs, Jr. Engineer, Asst. Engineer and the sharing off the cut by the contractors to people who matter have undoubtedly thrown to winds any safety guards that otherwise form the basis of such vulnerable projects.
The sleeping judiciary, lethargic investigations have added to the near collapse of the justice delivery system. The almost on-existent use of “Law of Torts” and lack of accountability have literally frozen the corrective measures and unluckily we would keep seeing the media howling after every fall and administration declined to better its score………

THE WILD INDIAN POLITICS DRAMA
The three opportunist Yadavs who joined in to oppose the Women’s Bill got to give the Nation one big explanation. Under what category of reservations did the illiterate, unprofessional, inexperienced, non-working Rabri Devi popped up as the CM of Bihar. Surely, none of any known provisions of women reservations-- be it OBC, SC, ST or any other were applied. The only provision applicable was Laalu’s hijacking abilities, unethical maneuvering of vote-bank and lustful hunger to clinch on to power.
Why did not they protest then when the string-pulled puppet occupied the vital CM chair? When more deserving OBC, SC, ST, dalit women with much better abilities, capabilities, sincerity and experience were available, Rabri Devi who didn’t have the confidence to even speak a word or to frame one single sentence catapulted to the topmost post by virtue of being the Laalu’s wife.
Why didn’t Sadhu Yadav who was barking wildly in front of the cameras , or the other Yadav-clan, utter a word at the injustice done to the more deserving Dalit, SC, ST, OBC women?
Why didn’t anyone raise a voice at the category of meritorious women for whom they are agitating to include in the Women Bill?
Why was no hue and cry raised at the injustice done to millions of other backward women – when the most undeserving of them occupied the chair?
The bottom-line is not the real intent to better the plight of the backward women but to oven their political cake by hogging he limelight and be on the prime time news.
Such a bunch of political jokers is the reason for letting and leading the Nation to a doomsday. The sooner this evil is nipped in the bud, the better it is for the progressive society….

Czar of Cricket ………………..A TRUE INDIAN
Sachin created history on 24th Feb 2010 when he scored a double century. Never ever in the history of mankind had anyone been exalted in his career and bagged so many laurels. Sachin not only epitomizes the greatest and the farthest a player can reach but at the same time eulogizes the spirit of oneness with patriotism writ large in his persona.
The man who brought all that a game can give – “kissing his feet” with utmost hard work, sincerity and devotion but maintaining his humble approach in the midst of his oceanic success is what makes him shine like a diamond in the night sky…….. And dedicating the only feat that no man has ever achieved to the Nation and its people truly makes him a “DIVINE IDENTITY”.
The shameful Thackerays who took on Sachin to fuel their sagging political fortunes must hang their heads in shame. These buffoons are the ones who should apologize. One thing they should learn from him is his humbleness to dedicate the wonderful feast to the Nation. The kind of vicious circle they created; the immense mental torture they thrusted; the phobia these hooligans evoked raking up the usual Marathi-manoos syndrome, the kind of anguish they let him suffer – Sachin as usual has through his actions and karmas, demonstrated how well a sixer he can shoot on such flimsy googlies – so much so that the ball vanishes in the sky of his patriotism and gentle behavior.
Thackerays compared Gavaskar saying that during his captaincy 5 – 6 players were from Maharashtra whereas Sachin didn’t promote even one player.
The very fact that Gavaskar publicly expressed his wish to touch Sachin’s feet takes the wind out of sails that eccentric Thackeray and the company erected to garner such cheap publicity.
That Nation is “supreme” and motherland “our soul” – our Unity in Diversity -“out heart” and all religions and regions “our veins and arteries” connected to our heart. Sachin personifies Excellence of Workmanship with deep patriotism.
Thackerays must call their bluff off and hang their heads in “SHAME”.

Curse of a Media Blitz – Extinction of Tigers
The last one month has seen National Space being hijacked by utterly disgusting of the species.
1. Amar Singh’s third rate political stunts.
2. Mayawati’s plundering the State coffers on parks and statues and then proposes to spend 54 crores on its maintenance,
3. Rahul Mahajan (after snorting drugs through 500 currency notes and leading a life of drug abuse – sex, sleaze and wife-beater) with his stupid and repulsive laughing style makes a mockery of the institution of marriage lending it a mere fashion parade of bimbos with as much as exposed thighs and breasts, pelvic gyrations and bitching sessions;
4. Thackerays who exposed their mental retardness to the point of eccentricity……
Nobody every throught or gave credence to the fact that our National game Hockey is being played from 28th Feb in India. The fact that Hockey World Cup remains a uncelebrated issue even by the media is pathetic.
Apart from this, the other major movement – Save Tiger – has not really been into our idiot boxes….. Just 1411 tigers left.
The most ferocious of the species on the verge of extinction – the valuable contributor to the Nature – the King of the forest is dying a silent death of its whole lineage.
How many channels took up as a fundamental topic of Save Tigers other than one or two ads?
Amar Singhs, Mayawatis, Rahul Mahajans and Thackerays have disintegrated the whole social system in one or the other ways…
But the wealth of our natural resources and wild life species would disintegrate the whole ecological balance if humanity remains unfaithful to its perseverance.
THE IMPOTENT THACKERAY
On one hand where the dynastic Thackerays managed to hit the headlines chanting Sachin’s name, the other cousin sidelined by the sycophant uncle had his appearance felt in one of the functions of Nee-Marathi channel.
The best part was the tight slap of Asha Bhonsle who minced all words that she could in chaste Marathi about Mumbai being for all Indians and that any Indian could go anywhere and earn his bread and butter.
Sitting and watching with fused and shaken demure and feeling the punch of the gloves in Marathi by a Marathi, Raj Thackeray finally got the taste of his hatred-oriented communally murderous line of action being punctured by a Legendary Nightingale who has seen the spirit of Bombay growing up much before Raj stopped wetting his bed.
Perhaps these mentally unstable Thackerays would do better justice to keep the chair vacant in such functions than to occupy it to measure their impotent political clout.

From a Traitor Sachin to Vikramaditya Tendulkar
On March 2nd 2010, the eccentric son of a mentally derailed father, who till a few days back called Sachin Tendulkar “a traitor of Maharashtra” (because he did not induct 5 – 6 players from his home State into the team as Gavaskar had done in his tenure), today compared him to Vikramaditya, who deserved a Bharat Ratna.
The fact that Shiv Sena manipulates to such a disgusting level of self-suitability of facts, shows the vacuum in the strength of their vision, if they ever had one.
From being after his blood to sing his praises,,,,,
from calling him a selfish cricketer to comparing him with Vikramaditya,,,,
Sena’s Pvt. Ltd. Jokers make for a good clowning act merely to sneak into the prime spot of "Breaking News".
There is hardly anything Sena is worthy for, let alone the Breaking News.

Feeling the punch of its own slap
Shiv Sena finally got a taste of the cake that it ovens. Having led a disastrous, destructive, murderous, path of blood shed, hatred and communalism-- the strike of the workers of Shiv Sena’s Call Centre ( remember all of them are Marathis ) – and not report for work on charges of harassment, bad behavior and taana-shashi style of administration has led many a skeleton fall from the closet.
It has in fact bared to the core the very manifestations of such hollowness in which these paper tigers try to roar, create a scene and bring city to a halt.
That their own Call Centre managed by Marathi-manoos has taken a leaf from Sena's own destructive line of protest--- navigating its identity to the logical path of political graveyard is much in consonance of an adage of the yore – "Thy shall you reap
what you sow ".
Thackerays are themselves to be blamed for their journey to the Political Grave. The more eccentric they behave --the more sooner the journey ends.
