Change is here.....

This is a different general elections. Sothing new is happening which I havent seen ever, the people for whom the voting day was just another holiday are taking the pains of getting their names included in the voter roles. I have three examples in my office, Software Engineers, used to sitting in nice cool AC offices, took Monday off and stood in a queue for approximately 3 hours to get their names included in the voter list.

This is definitely comendable. On Saturday me and Prateek also went to the Bommanhalli Revenue office and submitted our forms, I am not sure what would be the voter turnout this year, but I guess people are frustrated with the repeated terrorist attacks, Neta not doing anything, huge tax payer's money being used for changing curtains in Neta (like Mayawati's) house. Its high time we turn to our responsibilities.

Go out and vote, its not that tough, believe me. Just spare exactly 10 min to read the instructions on www.jaagore.com and you will end up realizing that it wont take much of your time.

Remember:
NO VOTE, NO SAY

Elections, Hatred, communal forces and Journalism

Varun Gandhi's hate speech was unfortunate, a person contesting MP's election should be a little more dignified. Varun is an educated Indian and should have shown more respect towards the other communities.

Good work CNN-IBN, you have highlighted this, now can we get back to serious reporting again ? News itesms like these are baseless, who is priyanka Gandhi ? is she a candidate in the coming elections ? Does she hold any office in the present government ? Then why place this news as the breaking news ?

There are much bigger issues to be covered and focussed on.... Lets get back to work Mr Sardesai

Tough Guys Dont Dance ?

Originally seen this video here

I think this is one way these reality shows have helped, bringing out the real talent. I was totally speechless after watching this video.

Much more meaningful to produce shows like these than the celebrity Dance shows. Though I dont follow any of the reality shows on television, but yes there are some which are helping the upcoming artists.

Rathi's wedding and Delhi

Was in delhi for two days, to attend Rathi's wedding. Well first about the wedding, it was a typical marwari wedding, where food is the biggest priority, and believe me the food was out of this world, and so we had all the justifications for eating like pigs, and we did exactly that.

Delhi:
I was really impressed to see the infrastructure of this city, whether the reason is commonweath games or whether its the national capital, but I guess the other cities in our country, including Mumbai has a lot to learn from them. After a long time I was spending twoi days in Delhi as now most of the time Delhi is a transit point for me, come out of the airport and run to catch the train, and vice versa. Gurgaon: is another concrete jungle, so may buildings that you will eventually get lost there, every road looks similar to me. And the biggest problem there is, if you don't have your own vehicle, then be prepared to walk anything between 5-10 KM.

Well I was not so impressed with the general Delhi culture, a lot of things have changed as far as the infrastructure is concerned, but nothing as far as the people of Delhi are concerned. I was being reminded of the Dialogues of "Oye Lucky Lucky oye" and "Khosla ka Ghosla" repeatedly, whenever I was talking to the localites. The Delhi "sirji" culture, I realized again, how much I hate it :( and realized yet again, how much I love Bangalore, and missed this city. Yes one good this was the FM channels in Delhi, the RJs have good sense of humor, and they talk in Hindi or English, which I can understand, and during nights they play old songs, all of them. I am pretty pissed off about the FM scene in Bangalore, there is only one channel which plays hindi music, and that too only new songs. So you end up listening to songs like "bin tere sanam" from "Race" some 20 times in a day. No wonder some months back I wrote this post. khair ummeed par duniya kayam hai, shayad radio fir se achhe gaane bajayega
