Statutory Warning!!! – This might happen with you.Please check with your appearances on Google before lying to your Girlfriend.Today’s Girlfriends are Google Smart.

This is serious fellows.This cartoon is originally issued by US government in Public Interest.(Perhaps you can now take me seriously how disastrous it can be…….. )

OK.

Let not start bullying everyone right from the beginning and blah blah blah.Lets build up the matter sequentially.

Where from I got this idea of targeting Government?

For the past few days,I have been reading a lots of promises made to the public just in order to grab the chairs.

Today,I just sat and thought what if someone asks me to define “Government” ?(I got the enlightenment from the Advertisement of TATA TEA where the person asks the politician about his qualifications for the post of running the nation).Then I recalled a famous definition for the government-An organization of the people,by the people and for the people.(Splendid!!What a definition).These are the words of Great Abraham Lincoln.(thanks to my history teacher to make me able to recall that much).

Now if we go by the definition,Government is:

OF THE PEOPLE        :    Of course,very true perhaps.

BY THE PEOPLE        :   Undoubtedly.

FOR THE PEOPLE     :   Yes.But only for the people of the Government.

“GOBER”:

Now,starting back on firing.I was talking of big bulls in the politics.I read somewhere of a candidate who declared his property to be worth 622  Crores.Whew!!! man.

I wonder how he earned that much money.May be his ancestors were from Royal family or it might be the case how much hard work he did to earn that much ( ) and if he is continuing in the elections for past some years or decades,I wonder if the government pays were high enough to save that much as properties.

The television sets are flooded with advertisements for political campaign.Lets analyse them.

• “Ladli Lakshmi”-What a term coined for the girls!The Ad speaks of the promise of BJP to give 1Lakh rupees to all those girls who want to study higher after 12th standard.But Sir,with due honour to all your experience in the Indian Panorama,do you even have idea or a survey done for the same?How many girls are deprived of higher education due to lack of money?I guess the number of girls who are deprived of primary education or say even education is much more alarming and is severe many folds with respect to higher education problem.Why are you not promising that sir?Why don’t you want to eradicate the problem from the grass root level?
• Another Ad of BJP flooded on every link I visit on internet is the Advani for PM campaign.”Majbut Neta,Nirnayak Sarkar”.he he he.Are we talking of the same “Majbut neta” who went to Pakistan and called Jinnah great?Should not the voters keep these incidents in mind.
• It was BJP in power when gujarat riots happened and the infamous Godhra Kand got filed in history books.
• It was BJP in power in Orissa when communal riots took place and christians were brutally tortured and murdered.

What was the so-called “Majbut Neta ” doing that time?

This was not enough of the BJP-there are two more issues to be criticized for in my perspective:

1. BJP raised the Ram mandir issue again in its manifesto to gain votes.Why do we support such extreme communal parties to power?
2. In Rajasthan,we witnessed a great perturbation in recent summers for Gujjar Reservation led by Kiroli Lal Baisla.Remember BJP was in power whom this man challenged and troubled.Now,he is contesting elections on BJP ticket.

Great is the game of elections and great are the current day leaders.Don’t worry,I am not in favour of any party as such.I am just highlighting and criticizing some very odd publicity slogans which I observed.

Another great leader in Indian Politics is Mayawati who always reminds people of hailing from backward classes and then snatch money forcefully for party funds.At that time,she even neglects whether it is her brother or sister hailing from the same backward class.

Another one great leader is Laloo Prasad Yadav who accused congress recently on television for Babri Masjid Demolition.He is holding the Railway ministry in Congress government only.Its very true to say that he dug hole in the platter in which he ate.

Now coming to Congress.Dr.Manmohan Singh.PM.India.I saw the educational qualifications of this man.My feet froze when I saw his resume.An indigenous mind of Economics.But what he did for his country in the time of recession.Though India is spoken of to be merely affected by it but still there are lay-offs.What has he done with his bunch of degrees and his genius mind in such conditions?He also proposed to cut the salaries of the CEOs.But this idea went into dustbin.What were the steps taken from the proposal there onwards?Forget the private sector,but was he able to implement the idea even in government sector?

The major failure comes on the issue of 26/11.What is the current government doing?It has already been given 5 months time till now and still this issue makes headlines only for finalising the accused’s lawyer.We saw many terror attacks but the Home minister took responsibility only after some 5-6 incidents of the same nature.Why was it so?Has anyone been arrested for any of the bomb blasts we saw in past few years?

Sir,why are you not standing at par with your dignity in such matters.You stood firm when it was for Nuclear deal signing.At that time,you were ready to even undergo the confidence vote.Why is it not so for these matters?Are they not of national importance?

Lolz,I forgot what your party did for confidence voting.All the criminal candidates were released from jails and called to Delhi to cast their votes.Why  no proxy voting was there in the house of Parliament as it happens generally in Assembly elections at various places?Perhaps,when all people of same nature and character meet,everybody knows the tricks and traps of the other one in the same field.

“CEMENT”:

Ohh my god.Enough of the blame game.I already wrote too much and this is perhaps a never ending vicious process and is a dominant feature of the Present Indian Politics.No matter how much they accuse each other of each other’s shortcomings,after the elections they will all be brothers and sisters and patching up the cement on their broken relations to keep themselves on the ruling side.This has happenned in this country before in the name of NDA and UPA and Left and it will continue till the clean character politicians are not introduced by the parties for the welfare of the country.

I do not intend to hurt anybody’s feelings by this post or to rouse an opinion in the favour of any party but I want to urge the voters of India to apply their wit and see whats happening in around them and what should be done in such a scenario.I appeal to all the Indians to try their best to be able to cast their vote otherwise someone else will in your name ( ).

Last Night I just sat down in front of my computer screen and thought of watching Munnabhai MBBS Part II aka Lage Raho Munnabhai.Just at the starting only,I heard a welcome note which Vidya Balan delivers on Radio.Tried to search the exact dialogues and got it.

These are very meaningful lines writen with extreme care but I guess we never heard them attentively while watching the movie.So,Here are the lines to retrospect on and think over where your life is heading to:

Good Morning …… Mumbai !
This is Jhanvi on World Space Radio.
जाने से पहले, ये है मेरा आज का ख्याल
उन सबके लिये, जो दौड़े जा रहे हैं इस शहर की दौड़ में
शहर की इस दौड़ में दौड़ के करना क्या है?
अगर यही जीना है दोस्तों, तो फिर मरना क्या है?
पहली बारिश में ट्रेन लेट होने की फिक्र है, भूल गए भीगते हुए टहलना क्या है?
सीरियल के किरदारों का सारा हाल है मालूम, पर माँ का हाल पूछने की फुरसत कहाँ है?
आप रेत में नंगे पाँव टहलते क्यूँ नहीँ?
एक सौ आठ हैं चैनल पर दिल बहलते क्यूँ नहीँ?
इंटरनेट पे दुनिया से तो टच में हैं, लेकिन पड़ोस में कौन रहता है जानते तक नहीँ!
मोबाइल, लैंडलाइन सब की भरमार है, लेकिन जिगरी दोस्त तक पहुँचे, ऐसा तार कहाँ है?
कब डूबते हुए सूरज को देखा था, याद है?
कब जाना था शाम का गुज़रना क्या है?
तो दोस्तों, शहर की इस दौड़ में दौड़ के करना क्या है?
अगर यही जीना है दोस्तों, तो फिर मरना क्या है?

If anybody has some very good reply to any of these small questions raised,I would like to hear that.

With due regards to the poet,I just wanted to present it to all those who are visiting this blog:

Bits Bytes Chips Clocks
Bits in bytes on chips in box.
Bytes with bits and chips with clocks.
Chips in box on ether-docks.

Chips with bits come. Chips with bytes come.
Chips with bits and bytes and clocks come.

Look, sir. Look, sir. read the book, sir.
Let’s do tricks with bits and bytes, sir.
Let’s do tricks with chips and clocks, sir.

First, I’ll make a quick trick bit stack.
Then I’ll make a quick trick byte stack.
You can make a quick trick chip stack.
You can make a quick trick clock stack.

And here’s a new trick on the scene.
Bits in bytes for your machine.
Bytes in words to fill your screen.

Now we come to ticks and tocks, sir.
Try to say this by the clock, sir.

Clocks on chips tick.
Clocks on chips tock.
Eight byte bits tick.
Eight bit bytes tock.
Clocks on chips with eight bit bytes tick.
Chips with clocks and eight byte bits tock.

Here’s an easy game to play.
Here’s an easy thing to say….

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory
makes your floppy disk abort
then the socket packet pocket
has an error to report!

If your cursor finds a menu item
followed by a dash,
and the double-clicking icon
puts your window in the trash,
and your data is corrupted cause
the index doesn’t hash,
then your situation’s hopeless,
and your system’s gunna crash.

You can’t say this? What a shame, sir!
We’ll find you another game, sir.

If the label on the cable
on the table at your house
says the network is connected
to the button on your mouse,
but your packets want to tunnel
on another protocol,
that’s repeatedly rejected
by the printer down the hall,
and your screen is all distorted
by the side-effects of gauss,
so your icons in the window
are as wavy as a souse,
then you may as well reboot
and go out with a bang,
cause as sure as I’m a poet,
the sucker’s gunna hang!

When the copy of your floppy’s
getting sloppy on the disk,
and the microcode instructions
cause unnecessary risc,
then you have to flash your memory
and you’ll want to RAM your ROM.
quickly turn off your computer
and be sure to tell your mom!

I think it is one of the best elementary introductions one can provide for describing computers.

Thanks to Gene Ziegler for such a beautiful expression of thought in his poem.

“Has anyone ever wondered who developed it?Should not we be grateful to him/her?But nobody cares who is he/she?”

So,here I am introducing you to the  Living legend,the genius Tim Berners Lee ,currently an MIT Proffesor and Director of W3C-Yes,the famous W3C schools which educate the world about Internet.

Here is a brief introduction which I adapted from TIME magazine:

So what, you say? Everybody knows that with a mouse, a modem and access to the Internet, these days you can point-and-click anywhere on the planet, unencumbered by time or space or long-distance phone tariffs.

Ah, but scroll down the list far enough, hundreds of entries deep, and you’ll find this hidden Rosebud of cyberspace: “Enquire Within Upon Everything” — a nifty little computer program written nearly 20 years ago by a lowly software consultant named Tim Berners-Lee. Who knew then that from this modest hack would flow the civilization-altering, millionaire-spawning, information suckhole known as the World Wide Web?

Unlike so many of the inventions that have moved the world, this one truly was the work of one man. Thomas Edison got credit for the light bulb, but he had dozens of people in his lab working on it. William Shockley may have fathered the transistor, but two of his research scientists actually built it. And if there ever was a thing that was made by committee, the Internet — with its protocols and packet switching — is it. But the World Wide Web is Berners-Lee’s alone. He designed it. He loosed it on the world. And he more than anyone else has fought to keep it open, nonproprietary and free.

It started, of all places, in the Swiss Alps. The year was 1980. Berners-Lee, doing a six-month stint as a software engineer at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, in Geneva, was noodling around with a way to organize his far-flung notes. He had always been interested in programs that dealt with information in a “brain-like way” but that could improve upon that occasionally memory-constrained organ. So he devised a piece of software that could, as he put it, keep “track of all the random associations one comes across in real life and brains are supposed to be so good at remembering but sometimes mine wouldn’t.” He called it Enquire, short for Enquire Within Upon Everything, a Victorian-era encyclopedia he remembered from childhood.

Building on ideas that were current in software design at the time, Berners-Lee fashioned a kind of “hypertext” notebook. Words in a document could be “linked” to other files on Berners-Lee’s computer; he could follow a link by number (there was no mouse to click back then) and automatically pull up its related document. It worked splendidly in its solipsistic, Only-On-My-Computer way.

But what if he wanted to add stuff that resided on someone else’s computer? First he would need that person’s permission, and then he would have to do the dreary work of adding the new material to a central database. An even better solution would be to open up his document — and his computer — to everyone and allow them to link their stuff to his. He could limit access to his colleagues at CERN, but why stop there? Open it up to scientists everywhere! Let it span the networks! In Berners-Lee’s scheme there would be no central manager, no central database and no scaling problems. The thing could grow like the Internet itself, open-ended and infinite. “One had to be able to jump,” he later wrote, “from software documentation to a list of people to a phone book to an organizational chart to whatever.”

So he cobbled together a relatively easy-to-learn coding system — HTML (HyperText Mark-up Language) — that has come to be the lingua franca of the Web; it’s the way Web-content creators put those little colored, underlined links in their text, add images and so on. He designed an addressing scheme that gave each Web page a unique location, or url (universal resource locator). And he hacked a set of rules that permitted these documents to be linked together on computers across the Internet. He called that set of rules HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).

And on the seventh day, Berners-Lee cobbled together the World Wide Web’s first (but not the last) browser, which allowed users anywhere to view his creation on their computer screen. In 1991 the World Wide Web debuted, instantly bringing order and clarity to the chaos that was cyberspace. From that moment on, the Web and the Internet grew as one, often at exponential rates. Within five years, the number of Internet users jumped from 600,000 to 40 million. At one point, it was doubling every 53 days.

Raised in London in the 1960s, Berners-Lee was the quintessential child of the computer age. His parents met while working on the Ferranti Mark I, the first computer sold commercially. They taught him to think unconventionally; he’d play games over the breakfast table with imaginary numbers (what’s the square root of minus 4?). He made pretend computers out of cardboard boxes and five-hole paper tape and fell in love with electronics. Later, at Oxford, he built his own working electronic computer out of spare parts and a TV set. He also studied physics, which he thought would be a lovely compromise between math and electronics. “Physics was fun,” he recalls. “And in fact a good preparation for creating a global system.”

It’s hard to overstate the impact of the global system he created. It’s almost Gutenbergian. He took a powerful communications system that only the elite could use and turned it into a mass medium. “If this were a traditional science, Berners-Lee would win a Nobel Prize,” Eric Schmidt, CEO of Novell, once told the New York Times. “What he’s done is that significant.”

You’d think he would have at least got rich; he had plenty of opportunities. But at every juncture, Berners-Lee chose the nonprofit road, both for himself and his creation. Marc Andreessen, who helped write the first popular Web browser, Mosaic — which, unlike the master’s browser, put images and text in the same place, like pages in a magazine — went on to co-found Netscape and become one of the Web’s first millionaires. Berners-Lee, by contrast, headed off in 1994 to an administrative and academic life at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From a sparse office at M.I.T., he directs the W3 Consortium, the standard-setting body that helps Netscape, Microsoft and anyone else agree on openly published protocols rather than hold one another back with proprietary technology. The rest of the world may be trying to cash in on the Web’s phenomenal growth, but Berners-Lee is content to labor quietly in the background, ensuring that all of us can continue, well into the next century, to Enquire Within Upon Anything.

Hats off to such a man who cared for the welfare of human race so much and shrank the world in communication perspective by his innovation.

Thank You Very Much Tim.

Bored you enough with my chatter patter!!

You must be thinking why all of a sudden I got the idea that I love this place?Where in the hell I got such an idea?

Well,as some of you might be guessing it right.Yes,its again a movie which I watched in the theatre which reminded me that I am somewhat Delhite now for the closeness I am sharing with it for the past 8 months.

Ok,now coming to the point,howzz Delhi 6???

Well,if you consider it as per commercial cinema,most of you might be finding it a package of boredom with nothing in it except a silent breeze of splendid music somewhere hitting the chords hidden in your heart.

But,if considered socially or more as per movie perspective,I should really commend the writer to really pen down such a story from many peoples’ day-to-day life and knit it properly with a very soft hand not to make it extreme for any image preventing it from being called a film based on communal riots or a love story or blah blah blah.

It is really a very well woven soft hand attack on the superstitions and idiotic caste based practices prevalent in so-called “Independent India” but I sometimes wonder who in this nation is free after 61 years of independence?Even after so many years of Independence ,we are still elements of rat race.Why can’t every mind innovate itself freely?

I can say the direction is also well done and how small rumours provide the sparks of big fires in this superstitious India are well covered.

But the love and affable nature of Indians cannot be denied and so it got mandatory to be shown in the film.

Now a days,no movie review is complete without discussion on music,especially when it is given by the legend,Oscar nominee A.R Rahman.The music is truly heartthrob and very well captured via camera as well.

The cast was also quite well chosen because any glamour gal would have spoiled the flavour of movie and Sonam Kapoor was sweet and sober choice for heroine .Also Abhishek has done his role quite silently and without overacting.I could not imagine if he had been replaced by SRK in this movie.It would be a total spoiler as per my guess.

So,overall a movie worth watching once if you watch it by the social perspective for which it is meant.For commercial purpose,please don’t waste your money on it.

All the pranksters and naughty fellows

Now became sincere,really hard to swallow.

Those who used to have good morning in the noon

Now wake up early and work for company as a boon.

Gone are the college days and gone are prank cyclones.

The mail format has now changed,

from “Yours Sincerely” to “Thanks and Regards” penned.

The practice of sleeping while lecture is in motion

has now lost all its notion.

Those who never attended classes sincerely,

now leave attending meetings barely.

Those who never carried their college Id-cards in the pockets,

now hang their access cards as lockets.

The fashion of “proxy” is left all alone,

Access cards,for admission,need to be shown.

Gone are the college days and gone are prank cyclones.

The trend of calling innovative names for colleagues,

has now changed to just calling surnames/first names and changed its league.

Playing cricket is no more a passion,

Its now only a mere game of ocassion.

Remember the hostel days when we spent long hours for chat,

Now,we are hardly left with any time after bugs combat.

Something in life has now lost its blend.

that something we really need to amend.

Gone are the college days and gone are prank cyclones,

Oh god!Please return me the college days far gone.

Then came the most sought movie by Anurag Kashyap which is claimed as remake of Sharat chandra created famous character “Devdas” moulded in the modern era.Perhaps I should have known that he is the most innovative director in Film Industry-the one who made “No SMoking”(great movie naa!!!)

So,Today I went for the movie and lo!It was yet another crap by Anurag Kashyap.I could not handle the “Chandramukhi” part(mainly second half) of the movie as it is fully loaded with boredom.There was no speed and everyone felt sleepy in the theater.The “Paro” part was something which caught attention of everyone.

Paro(Real name-Mahi Gill) was reeled as a punjabi gal.Her freshness rejuvenated everyone and brought a silent charm on everyone’s face.She reminded me of Tabu(has anyone noticed that she resembled Tabu in her looks?).

Abhay Deol-I can never doubt this man’s acting skills.Dharam ji da puttar has great talent and his choice and taste are unparalleled.Always doing out of the box movies is what is his status symbol.

The music was worth appreciation.Really new and original peace of work.

Overall,the twisted story of modern devdas is unbearable(maha jhilau!!) but i suspect what is happening in Indian Film industry nowadays.For every big starrer movies,they spend a lot of money on publicity just to draw people to theaters.Perhaps the big bulls sitting in there are not left with the courage to face the small rats emerging in the industry with magnanimous talent and challenging their authority by making movies like “A Wednesday”,”Mumbai Meri Jaan”,etc.Even the corruption level is also increasing.Who in the hell would rate this Dev D with more stars then SlumDog Millionaire?All journalist mouths have been shut with a lot of notes-This is what common people might think after seeing so overpublicized movies like “Ghajini”,”Dev D”.

Perhaps the time has come now to recuperate Indian Movies of this corruption.I would appeal all the talented directors and scriptwriters to come up with movies which should be unparalled in every aspect like the dare to make Rock based Film “Rock on” shown by Farhan Akhtar.

Such steps are required otherwise we would be wasting our money to see craps of these bullshit directors and which would discourage all of us to visit theaters and just sit at home and download the movies and watch it on small screen only.

Yes,people.This is the title of the book which won “Man Booker Prize 2008“.It was the debut novel of an Indian-Aravind Adiga-currently a TIME magazine correspondent.Really a great laurel for the novelist on his debut and he became the third person to clinch the title on debut.

Now,lets delve deeper in the book and search what is so special in this book.As is common now a days for sure success,it also presents the panorama of Poor India,Hungry India in the beginning.The hero of the novel hails from a small village in BIHAR where feudalism still prevails.Then he climbs the ladders quite dramatically to reach to Delhi and Gurgaon via Dhanbad.

A simple and honest boy from an Indian village loses his loyalty towards his master and gets corrupted in the polluted environment of Delhi.Finally,He kills his master to satisfy his greed of money.

Using that huge sum of money,he has now become a successful entrepreneur in India owning his own chain of Qualis and a few drivers as his employees.

This was the brief synopsis of the plot portrayed in the book.But I have some questions in my mind.

I would expect solutions from every Indian in this perspective.So,Here are the questions arising very frequently these days and troubling my mind:

• Why is India,once the “Golden Bird“, always depicted as poor and hungry and we applaud such depiction wholeheartedly? Do we lack sense of patriotism and social responsibility or we all have turned blind if such a problem persists in our society?

• When one man rises as successful in modern India,why is it that he is not at all assumed clean in his character and deeds to reach there? Why has our system become so corrupt that it does not allow hard working and potential persons to rise without paying handsome bribes to the concerned authorities? Why is such a corruption prevalent today? Is there no remedy to such problems?

• Why does I always see Indian Politics acclaimed as dirty and corrupt and involved in all types of illegal activities socially prohibited by law for ideal citizens?

Coming back to the book,I loved the simplicity with which the author presented the material.There was no suspense in the story right from the beginning.Neither we can call it a thriller.However you may describe the book,but i am still troubled while reading some reviews about the book which claimed it as a true picture of modern India.Is this the picture of modern India?

Why? Why is it? Why?

I seek an answer from the inner soul of every Indian.
