I am born SEXY

Today after pondering over the thought of getting a hair cut to give myself saner look. Hesitantly I walked into a salon which is on my way back from office to home. I usually go for a normal hair cut after I grow my hair for good two months. After all, every man wants to look cool and hot to girls. While I was undergoing my image transformation, every hair cut does bring some sort of transformation. A man walks in the salon, orders his hair to be cut to short size. The guy starts with the machine instead of comb and scissor and the man had bowed down his head towards mirror. After five minutes all his lovely hair are down the floor and he pulls his face up. To his horror, the skin on his scalp is shining in flashbulbs of salon. He is furious, what have you done to my hair. There was a backlash from both the parties. Soon the salon owner intervened and tried to counsel the customer. It was not because of customer service. It is as he realized the emotional value attached with the looks and the personality. I am appearing to be BALD man is a curse as few men feel.

BALD is a curse or a virtue. I believe in one thing one should always be comfortable in his/her skin even in India. But looks are something which are more eternal than your heart these days. I can really understand his feelings and would have liked to console the person over the loss of his lovely hair. But then it cannot change the reality, u r growing, if not in virtue than in age and accept it. Enjoy your life with or without hair.

SMS - Sonia Manmohan Singh

The way the world economy came tumbling down during January – March 2009 and bad news popping up from every corner of the world. Congress led UPA Govt. were in deep conundrum in the election season, what to say and what to do? Had the crisis not happened, Congress couldn’t say anything because of their poor performance at the Centre. Their alliances were always nibbling in the tug of war. But it managed to spend five successful years at the Centre. Successful as they managed to complete five years, that’s it. Nothing besides that.

The way India didn’t go into deep recession was one of the master stroke from SMS duo (Sonia-Manamohan Singh). Somehow I always believe Congress may not have done something as blasphemous as BJP but still we are lot better because of them. There was lot of speculation, desperation as to who will form the new Govt. People were shit scared of third-fourth-fifth front that was contemplating of forming Govt. by rubbing their backs against BJP and Congress. BJP lacked a phenomenal statesman and politician amongst them. Vajpayee, the stellar personality in Indian politics.

Fast forward to May 16, the results are out, Congress won more than 200 seats. A magical performance, it was like Sachin has scored double century in limited overs cricket and taken a hat-trick, esp. when he is lurking in bad form. The markets gave nobody a chance to sniff and quickly shot to 20% unlike last time, when change in regulations was sought to impose circuit limits. Now suddenly everything seems to be good and economic guerilla hitting everybody has taken sabbatical. Mind you guys, it has still not gone.

Still the best part of election I believe was not Congress getting 200 seats but some bad mouths and ill mouthed people getting a bantering in the elections. It is one of the remarkable feature of these elections and that is what it should be remembered for. People like Advani have been shown the door, that you are and never were worthy of leading the nation. Just remember where you came from and where you have to go. Ram Naik lost, the old pig who used to drink gasoline instead of water during his stint as Minister in NDA. Sajjad Lone, whose only mission is to behave with poor Kashmiri people as if they are refugees in India. Ram Vilas Paswan, LJP, which believes they can change the landscape of Bihar. First they need to think about themselves. Laloo lost from one seat, people of Bihar realized the time is near and not far when they will be rebuked in their own homeland as Nitish taught them how to dream and Laloo kept them in loop. Behenji was snubbed in UP. Just hope, she realizes she has reached the end of the tunnel, she cannot rise above Chief Ministership. PM’s post is not for kachre wali bai but for some educated people with little sense of dignity to carry the nation forward. I am sure, she would have razed the Parliament House and build a statue of Dr. Ambedkar and gift every visiting Prime Minister/President with a statue of Mr. Ambedkar. Shiv Sena got a drubbing, they couldn’t do much development in their times, they couldn’t promote the Marathi manoos issue and address their concerns and have given the fractured mandate to Manse (Raj Thackeray). He has not won but will be a force to reckon with in Maharashtra in next elections.

The most remarkable feature about elections was the drubbing that LEFT party received in its strongholds in Kerala and West Bengal. It is not something to be believed but fortunately has happened. The poor finally arrived on the scene, don’t protect our Rights saying that we are POOR. We are asking for them as we have equal rights to it and would like to give Mandate to somebody, who can transform us from poor to lower middle class.

The kind of cheers SMS have got, I fear they may not be able to achieve the same. The external factors and forces are pushing India into a new demography. Suddenly we will see the issues that were our concerns in elections and in last five years will cease to exist and a new set of bloody issues shall shoot up, which have very little relevance in our day to day lives.

National Security, relationship with our neighbours, diplomacy with USA, Taliban in Pakistan, rising fiscal deficit, huge debt of the Govt. are some of the key issues that are at the centre-stage for SMS to handle. Allies nibbling and ribbling for portfolios may be taken care off smoothly and indeed has been. All’s well than ends well.

My Best Wishes to SMS.
Make the most of it.

Make friends not enemy but Just Keep One Enemy – America


These thoughts are wavering in my mind looking at the condition of our neighboring nation - PAKISTAN

I just feel and believe that no country should be friend with USA. Or rather I wish I should be alive the day, USA will no longer be USA and is split into various states as separate nations. It is indeed a big lesson for the nations of the world to think how USA will look like and how much it will have then, what the identity of USA will be like. Americans may not realize this but they need to think in hindsight how much they have taken for world, for selling their arms, for ensuring fuel is in abundance in their nation, to make dollar a global currency and to make itself the only self-confessed super power nation of the world.

This is one of the reasons, I love Congress, come what may, 60 years past independence, they have not allowed anybody to divide India and kept India intact, despite so much of communal hatred and riots spilling against the minorities in some part of the country or the other. A nation loses its belief, identity, culture, history if it is broken into parts. Some of my Muslim friends across the border in Pakistan, hail Quaid-e-Azam for giving them a separate land. But I would rebuke him, he allowed a glorious land called India to be broken into pieces. In a way, Gandhi or Bapu as people lovingly call him is also responsible.

In Pakistan’s case, their high headed military guerillas who have always been treated like son-in-law and their archaic policies have ruined the nation. They have brought the nation on the brinks of the disaster, rather Pakistan will be termed as a disaster. They never realized while chasing the Westerners that it is going to meet the same fate as Afghanistan or may be worse. They are fighting their own people in their own land, what worse can happen to a person, when he starts fighting with his children or his children backfire him. He can never find peace, come what may. Same is the case with Pakistan, when you teach your child all the notorious and ill-willed activities. Your son is going to come and experiment the same, when he becomes intolerable.

Who knows whether Taliban exists or not in Swat Valley? And even if they exist, it is unfortunately affecting the people of Pakistan. Thousands and thousands of them have to flee from their own land and become refugee on their own land. What more unfortunate can happen to a person?

All the disasters done by Gen. Pervez Musharraf and his predecessors are going to backfire Pakistan. Pakistan knows what USA does to its allies, a live case in front of them are neighbours, Afghanistan. Use somebody when the occasion and destroy him when the motive is absolved. Same will happen with the Pakistan. Pakistan is begging in front of America for every billion dollars.

The great American dream lives and survives. What that dream is? Please figure it out.

But I'd say one thing, make love not peace.
