A Everyone Known Story

It is a Saturday morning. I woke up late as sleeping is the best way to enjoy your day of rest. News paper does not hold me for a while as no news of interest was there. Its already 10am, so I decided to move outside to take some warmth of the sun. As I move outside two small children of labor working in adjacent building got my attention, smiles exchanged.

"ye pankha kyu chal raha hai" is the query from the elder one. Looking towards the the kitchen exhaust fan I replied "ye doouan nikalne ke liye chalya hai". "Ise koun chala raha hai?" Is the next question in queue, instead of replaying I prefer to ask few questions and chat follows like this ...

Me: tumhara naam kya hai?

Vinay: mere vinay aur iska vishal.

Vinay: Ise koun chala raha hai?

Me: ye apne aap chal raha hai.

Me: school jate ho tum?

Vinay: Nahi.

Me: Kyu?

Vinay: Papa ne kitab jala di.

Me: Kyu??

[no response]

Me: Papa ne kitab kyu jala di?

Vinay: [In a reluctant way] ladai hue thi.

Me: kahan rehte ho?

Vinay: Dilli me, kamra chor diya

Me: accha, koun-koun rehte hai tumhare sath?

Vinay: Saurabh, rina, saurabh ke papa ...

Me: Gaon kahan hai tumhara?

Vinay: Bahut dur.

Me: Bahut dur, kahan?

Vinay: tempo se jate hai, fir bus adde se jate hai.

Me kis class me ho?

Vinay: [seeing at a bi-cycle] papa jab cycle kayenge, us par school jaunga.

Me: School ka kya naam hai?

Vinay: 'school'

Me: school ka naam batao?

Vinay: wahan jula hai, jula jhulte hai wahan.

Me: Sirf jula hi jhulate hai, kuch padate bhi hai wahan?

Vinay: Mujhe padna nahi aata, mujhe nahi aata.

[My care taker Any, handled a cup of tea, assuming that I am not getting back from door]

Me: chai peaga?

Vinay: nahi

Me [towards younger one, who is playing with his bottle of milk] tum dudh pete ho aur me chai.

Vishal: papa!!

Me: haan, papa aayenge tumhare.

Vinay: motor kahan se laye?

Me: umm?

Vinay: [pointing towards water motor] wo.

Me: karidh kar laye.

Vinay: pankha koun chala raha hai?

Me: Pankha bijli se chal raha hai, agar tum school jayoge to tumhe bhi pata chal jayega... pankha kaise chalta hai..

Vinay: ye bulb kahan se jalta hai?

Me: ye upar wale switch se jalta hai, par tum jalene ki kosis mat karna, tum bell baja doge, aur fir koi daat laga dega tumhari.

Vinay: daat!!

with this I had decided to move back to the the room and TV sound is more then vinay's next query... seven thousand five hundred dollars... seven thousand and five hundred dollars one ... seven thousand and five hundred dollars two... seven thousand and five hundred dollars three and ... sold to Rajisthan Royals.

Ashish Garg one of my room mate said "bhai dekh inki kismat, hum yahan padh padha kar kya kama rahe hai! Tej tu kismat me to believe karta hoga, destiny??". Thinking about Vinay I have no choice to dis-agree with him. Almost same time two of my other room mates who might believe in luck more then anything, Getting ready for race-course, one uttered "bhai kisi din aacha sa kama le, fir ek dandha suru kar denge, jue [horse race in this case] ne sabko barbaad hi kiya hai" .

I take bath and pick the deo, it is empty. Thought came "Do I need to buy another one, is it necessary!".

I look at the t-shirt which has written "India Against Corruption" on it, since I am going to wear a sweater

which has a pre-requirement of a round neck white t-shirt and this t-shirt might no more seems in use, I have decided to use it with this sweater. "India Against Corruption" hides behind quote on my sweater "The History of Development". Indeed a good way to hide the real problem. I walk out of room and find out Vinay is still there. playing with a bike, he has also cleaned up and kajal[black paint] in his eyes is more darker this time. He looked at me, smiles exchanged and I take my path for a reunion with my graduation friends, making doubly checked my plastics[credit and debit card] are in my purse.

Why UP will fail again?

1. People will vote on basis of caste again.
2. People will vote to a party because their father, fore father votes for that party.
3. People will vote to a person, who will help them when they will caught in incident like drinking and driving.
4. People will vote for few bucks and a bottle of wine.
5. People will vote to a person who will act as a helping hand in getting promotion.
6. People will vote to the person who will provide pick and drop facility to polling booth.
7. People will vote because some party promise them to build temple.
8. People will vote because some party told them they will save them from other community.
9.  Your reason.
10. People will not vote because "is desh ka kuch nahi hone wala".

I am not against God...

On Google Buzz

On August 19, 2010

I am not against God, I do 'semi-believe' he might be there. But the ways, he is pictured in Hinduism ... I am forced to state that "In his present form he is not acceptable to me... the way he is utilized, he can't be mine almighty" .. I don't know when this feeling grow in me, but I remember one of my childhood thought "If he(God) will not given me the fruit of my hard work, I will fight him, and will take my genuine belongings from him by myself "

How intelligent we are and how well we have learned our lessons proved by giving a thought to our very first learning that British rules us by policy of “Divide and Rule” and the same is done by our own people after independence… and we will remain divided and fool pretending to be intelligent.

My first salary rather Income.

It was a noon of June, and i was riding my bicycle, stopping each and every potential point where I can collect some courier or parcel....

Its my third day of work and being a Sunday, it will be going to be a half day. I had not been able to collect a single courier or parcel in my past days but the sun raise has almost burn my cheeks and mummy had told me to tell my boss that I am not continuing the job from Monday onwards and I am going to do the same. It was may the last stop on cycle before I am going to enter into office and going to tell the same to my boss.

Few people are sitting in a group and I said, I am here to collect courier and parcel, if you want ... one of the man said "haan , ek book bhejni thi", and I was moving to my office with his parcel and on his scooter. We weigh the parcel, its cost comes around 100 and 10% of it was mine.

I took those 10 Rs. told my boss I am not coming to office again and left for my house...

Mummy give me more 1 Rs and told me to go to Mankamaeshaer mandir, use those 11 Rs for buying parsad.

last week my first salary@aricent comes ... :)

2 ladies , 2 gents & a child of around 2-3 years. First a person offers his seat to the lady having the child in her arms, then a senior citizen who himself got the seat with words "I am a senior citizen of 62, plz give me the seat" and the boy occupying the seat vacated the seat with the expression "then what should I do." offered his seat to another lady. both the ladies get settled.

A man stands up and offered his seat to one those gents foreigner, he accepts the request.

The the next man in the queue stands up and offers his seat to the only standing foreigner, he put down the request gently with a thanks. but no one from the crowd take the seat and it remains empty for almost next 5 mins in a Friday rush

Ravish ki report

On Google Buzz

On 10 November 2010

A must watch is "Ravish ki report" on ndtv. His reports is the journalism that is often referred or talked about, but very less to see.

Yesterday watched his report about kapashhera village.. really awesome...

His comment are:

In a slum "yahan par thukne par 200 Rs ka jurmana hai par, gutka kha kar peek marne par sirf 100 Rs ka kyu, ye hamari samaj se bahar hai."

On kapashhera border " aap ka camera is bheed me mujhe dundh to lega par ye dekho garib tadke ke sabhi log padal ja rahe hai, aur pollution to sirf car wale badha rahe hai"

Around airport "humne wapas lotate hue logo ki bheed ko is tila par chadha hua dekha, to utsukta wash hum yahan aa gaye. yahan ye log plane to udte aur uterte dekh rahe hai, aur use apne camera me kad kar rahe hai. Sayad en logo ke liye vikash sirf picture ki hi tarah hai, jisese wo entertainment kar rahe hai aur use apne camere me kad kar rahe hai"

In a slum house, "ye dekhye yahan bhagwan aur salman sath sath hai, is 75 gaz ke makan me 15 family rehti hai "

Green buses in Delhi

On Google Buzz

On Tuesday, 28 September 2010

I appreciate the induction of Green buses in Delhi on the notion of making Delhi disabled friendly. But till today I have not seen any disabled person utilizing those facilities i.e new Green buses and expensive new bus stops. Then why should we have 50-60 Lakhs costing buses instead of stander buses of around 15-20 Lakhs. My question is with respect to scarcity of resources in India "Don't we need some more optimized decision????????????

A few days ago, i was sitting with my intellectual frnds,... the topic is about "parent opposition to love marriages", i put a point that parents r wrong whenever they oppose it over caste. Expected not, what they answered? 3 of them said in single voice ... they are correct. one said there is difference of culture among casts. other one nodded him, by supplying an example "dekh banaye me kyu saadi nahi karte, kyuki wahan jaydad (property) par ladai hota hi hai.", third one give a look, which is more louder then saying "Got ur answer". My logic of two persons (Software Engineer's) of different caste, educated equivalently, loving each other, are not allowed to marry just becz of caste difference fades away..... Society is what we create, and with this thinking, those opposition will here to stay for long. I know one thing, there is subtle difference in culture among caste too. Even in thakur's there is "me bada thakur, tu chota thakur"... they are very correct.
