Bloody Indians changing DP’s for US Supreme Court Order. Will they do the same if Zimbabwe Court passes similar order?

Now how brain dead this can get. My brethren of stupid Indians changed their DP’s to Celebrate Pride. Just because Facebook is an American company and decided to share a link, it doesn’t mean you have click on it and share it. 

US Supreme court passed a judgement making Gay marriage legal across their country. And Indians shared colorful pics. Height of lameness and shamelessness. Would you do the same if Zimbabwe Court passes such order? Let me answer on behalf of you fools. No. You just did it coz link was accessible and feeling American even for  5secs quenches your ego and makes you feel great.

Stop this nonsense. If you can’t do something better, then please don’t click on each and every link. Facebook is a US firm, it will celebrate their country. You can at least Stop being lame.

Bloody Hypocrites: Why just Jail for Urinating in Public, Hang Them, Burn Them, Crucify Them

More than hundred hardcore criminals have been sent to jail in Agra by Railway Police. Their deadly crime, peeing in open on railway property. Why just stop by jailing them, hang them instead. That's the problem with our system, we believe in cosmetic patch-ups.

I know a lot of Delhi media would be happy that these people have been jailed. They will show video of people urinating on streets. It's a different matter altogether that media themselves are culpable as they are violating someone's privacy and decency. In that too, media is smart, they just show men peeing and stay clear of women as the cameramen know he will be beaten black and blue.

Now to the basic question. Have you not felt that sudden pain in stomach, urge to pee. You are on the street and no utilities around to relieve yourself. What would you have done but to pee against some wall. People urinate for the lack of public toilets. And what pathetic condition the public toilets are kept, whatever are there. One would die of stink.

But highly paid media people, who live in a different world altogether with all the amenities and quid-pro-quo in the world, what would they know. What would the railway official sitting in his AC office would know that people pee on streets in pain, severe pain to relieve themselves. 

Agra is my hometown and I know very well how many (or lack of) public toilets are there. None that I have seen. Leave aside Agra, I live in Powai, Mumbai. I haven't seen none there too. Who is to be jailed now. I say, everytime someone urinates on the street, jail the MLA, MP of that area. Jail the DM, jail the Municipal Commissioner. Jail whoever is responsible for lack of public toilets. Not just the poor fellow who was forced to lose his/her decency in public due to sordid state of affairs.

Let there be a Right to Toilet law which makes a public toilet every 500 mts. And jail the authorities concerned if toilet is not there or not functioning. Stop this crude quick fix, which just gathers headlines in presstitue media and does nothing else.

How can Congress make a comeback?


With BJP’s credibility an all-time low owing to Lalit Modi and party’s inaction on its tainted leaders, time is ripe for Congress to stage a comeback. The erosion of political capital during Corruption years of UPA-2 was much more than even Congress critics would have thought off. Corruption, couples with arrogance of “Come what may”, did them in. 

There was no one among the top brass whose heart bled for the party. Everyone was busy with their own agenda. With Gandhi son-in-law himself symbolizing nepotism, others just follow suit. Gandhi’s have lost their place in India’s heart, at least for now. No other next generation leader who has done the hard work seems to be around. Whoever is available are sons/daughters of same scam tainted generation of leaders.

Is there any respite for Congress?

Yes there is. It is the admission and apology. Sonia and Rahul and entire Congress brass must admit that there was corruption during their tenure, that too a rampant one. That they have yet not admitted, gives them no sympathies. 

Sonia and Rahul have to distance themselves from Robert and Priyanka Vadra. This would be a painful and difficult decision. But this will distance them from the taint. Currently they look complicit. 

Mother son duo has to avoid foreign travel. If at all they are travelling, it has to be kept transparent. Just when it seemed Sonia/Rahul were back rallying the opposition around then, they have fled the country again clandestinely. It only will erode reputations further.

Congress needs to bring first generation leaders to the fore. They can be from college politics, farmer politics. Not from AC rooms and lineage. But what am I talking about. It’s a utopian dream. Congress won’t admit, won’t apologize. BJP will hit at Vadra, Congress would get people like Dushyant/Vasundhara to hit on. Who would have thought Modi would become Maun-Modi! All is one.

Entrepreneurs Rejoice: Easy Norms for Crowd funding


In a bid to back startups, Sebi is all set to make norms for crowd funding easier. A new trading platform for internet startups is on the anvil.
 
This will help companies to easily gather funds via online platforms from wide spectrum of people. It will become a reality to source funds using online media.
As per the draft proposal introduced last year, annual limit will be 10 crores via this media that too under some regulations. Retail investors can go upto as high as 10% of its total networth.
 
Few restrictions are also in place to prevent misuse. Real state entities are not allowed under this. Any entity with backing of more than 25crores per year can also not source account via this route.
This is welcome scheme from Sebi. It would not only aid in make in India, but also help creating jobs which was a election promise of the present Government. Rejoice!

Lalit Modi Twitter Attack: Jaitely to Shukla to Congress to BJP, Try to Duck

The Lalit Modi drama just got interesting. There might be all wrong with Modi but you need to give it to him. He has a lot of ammo and is using it all over twitter. No one is spared. Barring Sushma Swaraj, Modi has gone after everyone. His favourite target at present seems to be Arun Jaitley, India's Finance Minister, whose Chidambramesque mask is slowly fading off.

Below are the tweetshells that Modi has fired off late. Seems Junior Modi is not far behind Senior Modi when shooting his mouth off.

Funny Twitterati reactions on India's Series loss to Bangladesh

Here are few funny Twitterati reactions on India's horrendous loss to Bangladesh.























Why Rahane was dropped? India's Historic Low in Cricket

With India losing the ODI series 2015 to Bangladesh, it is a historic low for India's cricket. First ever ODI series loss to the tigers, never would have come in the wildest dreams of any cricket lover in India. 

Amidst all this, the upheaval, the politics, the factionism is back in Indian cricket. While there was all wrong with Srinivasan era, there was one good thing. The power that Dhoni wielded under Srini quelled any and all groupism. These are transition times, Dalmiya-Thakur era has started and the politics is back and it showing in the performance of the team.

Rahane was dropped for this do or die match without any injury. Not since the day Jesus turned water to wine, were the people this surprised. Why did it indeed happen?

We can't be gullible enough to think this was done for the benefit of the team. This directly points to factionism in the team. Raina/Jadeja have continued despite of server rough patches in between. Instead players like Rahane are being dropped. 

Dhoni has completely lost the grip on the team. That Shastri prefers Kohli is not hidden secret. With no  Srinivasan to back, it might be a sad demise of Dhoni era. It's sad due to the politics involved. But as they say What goes around, come around. 

The extra ordinary powers of Dhoni under Srini were a sign for a heavy downfall. Cricket is a great leveller, both on the field and off it.

Avengers Graceful in Defeat to Dinosaurs

Iron Man + Dinosaurs
That is called being graceful in defeat. Jurassic World has dethroned Avengers to take highest weekend gross. Marvel Studios head Kevin Page has been more than humble in this. He congratulated Steven Spielberg, Universal Pictures and actor Chris Pratt among others on his twitter page. Along with that a spoof poster of Avengers admiring and clueless about Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Now that's something in today's cut throat world of business. Kudos to Avengers.

The tweet has already more than 10K re-tweets and around 9,5K favourites. In these times of reign super heroes movies, Spielberg surely have shown, who the real master is.

Why Sushma Swaraj helped Lalit Modi covertly?

A case has been made that Sushma Swaraj has helped Lalit Modi based on humanitarian issue. That she has raised the status of Foreign Ministry by her other helpful acts.

I do agree with the latter part. Foreign Ministry has come a long way since the days of Natwar Lal. Sushma Swaraj has indeed helped a lot to Indians staying abroad. She along with Modi (Narendra, not Lalit), has improved relations with countries across the world. 

But does helping NRI's exempt her from accountability to the electorate who chose BJP and went to voting stations; stood in lines and voted for them? No...Never! She is accountable not to NRI's or foreign countries, but to voters of India. 

As to the question Why she helped him covertly? One has to understand how she helped this thug of a man. Lalit Modi represents all that is wrong with the system. A thug with contacts to big politicians, made a lot of money by covert means. And now when law wants to catch him, he with the help of same politicians is cooling off in a foreign country. All humanitarian consideration for such thugs with money it seems!

She didn't notify anyone, No tweets or media briefs for this humanitarian acts. She personally met Lalit modi, Keith Vaz, Called UK people directly and aided Lalit Modi (who was partying in Ibiza with his family 3 days after the said operation). She didn't asked Indian High commission in UK to look into the case. She didn't put it on a file. Why you must be asking, Why? Easy, to protect herself from RTI later on. If nothing is in writing how will it be ever known? But for these leaked emails, we poor Indians would not have come to know about this humanitarian act of the Minister.

Why she tried to deprive us of knowing her helpful act. RTI...RTI...RTI is the only reason. From last one year BJP has done nothing to bring Lalit Modi to task. Still they are living in a make believe world where they think, they can wriggle out of every problem by blaming Congress. Wake up buddy, we have already thrown Congress away and brought you instead.

One year and cronyism already. I wonder what coming years behold!

Lalit Modi-Sushma Swaraj-Vasundhara Raje issue: Find all documents here

Ever since skeletons started tumbling out of BJP's cupboard, each new day has brought out new documents. Whistle blowers document, RTI documents, verified documents, unverified documents. 

For a lot of Indians and NRI's alike, it has come as a heartbreak, which has even silenced their Messiah (read Modi). No twitter this time round. It has been heartbreak too soon for us all who were relieved that Congress thuggery has been wiped out of the country once and for all.

Little did we know that it was a time for one set of cronies to be replaced by other set of cronies. Little did we know that it's all thugs out there, just different names and different masks. Little did we know that power indeed goes to head.

Below are the documents that have been floating around on Lalit-Sushma-Raje-BJP issue. I can't vouch for their authenticity. Then again, I can't even authenticate my own handwriting!

Mumbai Submerged 19th June 2015: Defining Images

Gateway of India
Submerged
Cometh the June Cometh the deluge. Rains and High Tide is what Mumbai dreads the most ever since the great flood of 2006. 

19th June 2015 will also go down in history as the day, Mumbai stood still!  It was a downpour and it was a deluge. Successive Govts. with all the latest technology has not been able to come with a solution to this problem. All we get is, we can't do anything against nature.
Stop Please!

Where's the track
It's the impotence of an excuse. If we would have thought the same, there would be no planes, "Humans can't fly. We can't go against nature"; there would be no phones, "How it is possible to talk to someone miles away, We can't go against nature". We would be still living on tress, eating raw food fending ourselves against other animals.

There is always a way. Govt. can fund a research, solution will come. Maybe in 5 years, maybe in 10 years. If we would have invested in research 10 years ago when 2006 happened, we would have the solution by now. 

The solution would not be straightforward or simple. It will be complex and expensive and revolutionary but we ought to do it for future generations. But in a society and nation which keeps taking debt to increase ever increasing tax burden for future generations, nothing else can be expected. 

Maybe Acche Din will some sometime. Till then I leave you with this thought!

UP धायें धायें, Tajmahal wi-fi

Ok, so Tajmahal became first wifi enabled monument in the country. Yay! Time to rejoice, right? Time to rejoice for who? Minister for Information and Communications called it a historic moment during the wifi inauguration photo-op.

Successive Governments have treated Taj Mahal as a milking cow, to fill the coffers with international aid in the name of this Wonder of the world. At the same time they totally ignored the city of Agra, leave alone UP.

I belong to Agra and have seen since childhood, the tale of two Agra's. One surrounds Tajmahal. Rest is second Agra. One is clean, green, and with lots of sheen. Other is dirty, filthy, lacking sheen. One has all newly laid roads, other is ridden with potholes. One has so much greenery, temperature drops good 5-7 degrees, Other is where trees are hard to find. One is like a Prince Charming, Other is like a poor step-son.

Administration needs to keep Price Charming all dented painted, or else aid will stop. They know that. It's hard to imagine that Taj is in the state of UP. A state which has been relegated behind even Bihar. Successive Mayawati and Mulayam Govt. has crippled the state. Nepotism, Bhaiwaad, Gundagardi backed by State has been thriving in UP.

Media persons are being burnt alive. We used to see such things in movie of early 90's. Never thought we will see them in real life.

A I can say is UP धायें धायें, Tajmahal wi-fi, Neta hi-fi, Junta bye-bye!

Advani fears Emergency may recur: Is Modi the reason?

Not again!
In what may come as a further headache to BJP, Advaniji, during an interview with Indian Express, shared concerns that emergency may happen again in India. “I don’t see any outstanding aspect of leadership at this moment”, he added further.

This might be taken as his refection on the sordid affairs of the country today. It might be recalled, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal has accused Modi of moving towards Dictatorship and Emergency with he has been doing via Left Governor.  

It needs to be mentioned that in similar situation in Delhi when Advaniji was Home Minister, he backed Sheila Dikshit, a Congress CM. “Mandate of an elected Govt., needs to be respected”, he has said then.

A lot of people see the tactics of Central Govt., a brain child of Amit Shah, who is known to play dirty
. This concern showed by Advaniji, will surely not go unnoticed in the power circles and in the populace.

Let it go Mr. Tharoor...Let it go

First an admission, though I am not an ardent fan of Mr. Shashi Throor's upper-class-racism, But I like his career graph and that he was once in the reckoning to head United Nations. And if US wanted India's loyalty at that time, he would for sure have been rather than a South Korean.

Time for the real issue. I was reading an op-ed by Mr. Tharoor. I admit, he writes good. Bow to that! He started off by arguing why Kejriwal Govt. won't last 5 years this time too. (Given what is happening in Delhi, he might very well be true. Kejriwal will perish if he doesn't do some urgent thinking).

Mr. Tharoor attacked Kejriwal on Fake Degree Tomar, Midnight Bharti and other relevant issues. Left no stone unturned. When it came to Mr. Somnath Bharti's recent episode of Marital Issue, I couldn't stop myself from laughter what Mr. Tharoor has to say and I quote,

"I am not entering into the fresh controversy surrounding Mr Bharti, because it is unpleasant to drag domestic, especially marital, disputes into the public arena."

How times change Sir. I am sure but for your personal misfortune; you would not have spared Mr. Bharti even on this episode. Your party has attacked him already. You would have been the first one Sir. 

It's just that if you would raise hue and cry on this issue, people will laugh at you and see through the hypocrisy. So you project yourself a sage, and it is beyond your dignity to touch upon such personal issues for political use. Seriously! 

I would just say, Mr. Cattle Class Tharoor. Let it go...Just Let go.

Around 4000 Sikh, Hindu Refugees Granted citizenship by India in last 1 year


This might bring cheers in some quarters. Fulfilling their manifesto promise, BJP Govt. has granted citizenship to over 4000 Hindu/Sikh refugees in last one year.

This has more than quadrupled from the figure during UP rule.

During elections in May 2014, a controversy broke out when BJP manifesto promised granting citizen to persecuted Hindus for whom they said, India was the rightful home.

Apart from that around 40000 have been given long term stay visas under Modi rule, in various states in mostly BJP rules states of India.

'Acche Din' are finally here for these people who have faced immense hardships.

WTF! Pacha, Austria has a unique way to protest

Representative Image


In an ongoing feud with tax authorities, a brothel owner in Austria has decided to take it to a different level altogether. He has stopped charging customers altogether. Free booze, Free s**.

Men have been queuing outside the establishment to avail this offer. The owner who by his own admission have been paying heavy taxes, says he is fed up with unfair tax regime and this is his way of protest.

When asked as to the financial viability of the protest, he said he will continue it as long as he can. That he has other branches, will will help compensate the loss.

For more details, Here is the website of the Pacha (http://www.pascha.de/salzburg/)

Why Samajwadi Party is supporting BJP on Lalit Modi issue?

A senior member and brother of SP Supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, supported Sushma Swaraj on the Lalit Modi issue, saying that it is unnecessarily being highlighted. “Minister has just acted on humanitarian grounds, what’s the issue?” asked he. People were surprised by this show of camaraderie, Give the bitter history of finger pointing even on trivial issues. 

Well, there is a deep reason behind this. Here’s it. 

UP Govt. is under fire after a Journalist was burnt alive, allegedly by policemen at the behest of a minister in UP Govt. This has brought already precarious law and order situation under the scanner. In current scenario of politically intrusive Governor House (read Central Govt.), Samajwadi Party is finding itself in deep trouble. 

Arresting the minister is feared to lose votes for SP. Not doing anything is also not an option given international exposure that journalist’s murder is invoking. Many are surprised by silence of Indian media on this serious issue with people accusing media to be bought. 

The ball is now all in Modi’s court. Given that he hasn’t tweeted yet on the issue, hints at him deliberately being silent. Govt needs SP’s help in Rajya Sabha and all this camaraderie boils down to this quid pro quo. 

SP is helping out BJP just like it has helped Congress innumerable times in the past. Also CBI is now with BJP. So no surprises!

Fugitive aided by Indian External Affairs Minister

BJP is getting tangled in its own web of high moral ground and propriety. Latest one is Sushma Swaraj. 

Such acts were common during Congress regime and BJP never lost an opportunity to hammer on it. Now the tables have turned. A person, who is on the run from India and has a lookout notice against him, is helped by Minister of External affairs with direct intervention to able to travel. 

The argument being made is of “Humanitarian Grounds”. Big Fat Joke! The person in return is in touch with husband of the Minister and thanks him for the generosity of the Minister. This reeks of rottenness. 

Now Govt. will officially help the fugitives on the run? Is that it? Ok. So Minister helped him. Did she make any effort to get him deported to India to face the law of the land? No! When a phone call from her can get him travel documents, doesn't she have any power to bring him back to India to face trial? 

It saddens me to see a set of thugs (Congress beneficiaries), being replaced by another set of thugs. Same old story, Same old excuses, Same old me, Same old you, Same old Country!

Sudanese President barred from leaving South Africa

Sudan’s president, Omar al-Bashir got a setback when a South African court ordered to hold him inside the country before the facts are ascertained. Against the global norms of immunity, this ruling comes as a big surprise to the international community. 

 International Criminal Court (ICC) which works out of Hague, has issued arrest warrant for Omar al-Bashir in 2008 after he was charged with genocide. However ICC is criticized to be the puppet of West, which has not acted much on war atrocities by Western countries over the years. 

Omar al-Bashir is for an African Union summit and has immunity from arrest. However such a ruling is bound to embarrass South Africa’s international diplomacy. 

Another controversial group which has been pointed out by Indian Government recently for interfering in internal affairs of the country, Amnesty International, called for President Zuma of South Africa to arrest Omar and bring justice to thousands who were killed. 

We’ll track the story as it unfolds.

Lesbian Ad: Publicity Stunt at Expense of the Oppressed

Okay so some apparel company has come out with a Advt. featuring two lesbian girls about to come out of the closet. Already we are seeing diverse views across the society. So called literates in India and few foreign newspapers are celebrating the bravado.

What bravado I ask?
The apparel brand has not shown any bravery here. Let me be very clear. They are not coming out the closet. They are here to sell their brand. In a bid to earn money, they are preying on the already oppressed people. 

In a country where same sex relations are illegal, such frivolous ads in a bid to make money are doing no good. The debate has to come in a good light. Not for a publicity stunt.

In my opinion this highly deplorable act has to be put to shame. On the one hand LGBT are fighting for their rights. On the other hand such money hungry leeches come out to suck even the last drop of blood. 

Some might say, what bad has this advt. done?
I will tell you. This will start frivolous PIL's. Obnoxious debates on TV channels which profit none but the channel (from ads) and Panellists (from remuneration). Now people get a latest weapon to tease same sex people.

Already society has started to accept. Not in small cities but in Mumbai/Delhi. Slowly the change will come. But such money mongers make things worse. 

Well next will be frivolous PIL's. The apparel brand will be in news for some time and that's what they wanted. LGBT society should stand up and deplore such publicity stunts at their expense. 

Belly Button Test New Trend: Sexy or Absurd?

Belly Button Test: Newest Craze
Time for the trend this week. The belly button trend that has swept Weibo users of China. Girls are posting pictures of their belly button, trying to reach it from behind. 


Seems to be a test of zero figure. Chinese girls are uploading such pictures in hundreds and thousands. The hashtag mentioning this was tending high with more than 150 million mentions on Weibo.

According to the posts, it was a no mean task. It took hours to be able to stretch hand and compress belly to be able to achieve the task.

I Did it. Yay!
Rumours of a research surfaced which suggested belly button test to be a sign of healthy figure. This rumour without any concrete references has taken netizens by storm, with posted pics going from boast to funny to absurd. 



We all know, a non-bulging belly is a must for good health but the belly button test seems to be taking it too far. Which is evident from the below pic posted by a male who dared to take on the Girls world.

There you Go
Fail. Total Fail



Well, Do you pass the test or not?

Lalu nod to Nitish as CM: Secular alliance forged

RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav have agreed to JDU's Nitish Kumar as chief ministerial candidate for Sep 2015, Bihar assembly elections. Two estranged friends have come together to forge a "grand secular alliance" to counter Narendra Modi wave.

SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav and Congress Vice President said to have played a crucial role in convincing Lalu Yadav to agree to Nitish CM candidature. Lalu was thus far opposed to the name of Nitish with the clash for power coming out in the open. However for now the truce seems on.

RJD who seems to be trailing JDU in popularity, seems to made a compromise for self preservation. After apparent snub by Nitish to look past RJD for the secular alliance, and proximity of Rahul Gandhi with JDU, Lalu was left with not much options.

"For the sake of secularism, I am ready to gulp everything. I am ready to consume all types of poison," said Lalu to the reporters. Lalu was left out code by Congress, who seem to have go with the flow and ditch Lalu if required. This is quite a climbdown in Congree-RJD since the high days of UPA-1.

This is one of the first direct involvement of Rahul Gandhi in coalition politics. He looks like becoming serious to the job at hand to counter Narendra Modi.

Post Delhi shocker, BJP's bure din are not ending at all. It won't be easy to brush off the grand alliance. We saw a trailer during Bihar by-election last year. Modi might just be Kerjriwalled again.
