Breaking New Year Resolutions in New Year

8:15 AM Posted by iSachin No comments
Finally the year end is at the end of the year. This will be my last blog, don't take sigh of relief my friends. I am not going to stop hear, this is only last blog of the year 2010 and will be shortest of all. ha ha ha...

When u make a new year resolution means you are looking forward to do something new and thats the positive way of leaving life. Its not important that if you have followed it up but at least make a one.

When I was writing this blog, I was simultaneously chatting with my friend. I told that friend about this subject and gave the explanation about what is going to be the subject of this blog. That friend told me that she has seen people making and breaking the promise in the same month...I think a month is a huge time span..I am going to encourage to broke it on the first day itself..ha ha ha..


But in my view its not how you implement it but at least thinking of one, makes you a positive thinker. I know many of you must have broken your new year resolution when u read this blog.
Many of you might not, which you will do in few day...ha ha ha ha...

There is a lot of fun in breaking new year resolution on first day itself but you can postpone it as much as possible may be for second day..ha ha ha. My new year resolution will be improving my writing which you all have graciously accepted and appreciated so Thank you all for your support.

I would expect you people to write at least one new year resolution and how did u broke that within few days. If u haven't then write when u brake it so..

Wish you and your family a
VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011.

Legally Corrupt - What if corruption is made legal.

8:12 AM Posted by iSachin 2 comments
When I was writing my previous blog, I wrote about suresh kalmadi the scamster. I continued my writing but then I noticed one thing that there was spelling mistake in word 'Scamster'. I checked the spelling but to my amusement I was correct. Then I realized that the word is correct but I is not yet added in the online Google dictionary. Ahhh.. I realized that there are not many in the US but in India we have lakhs of them. Google need to add this word in the online dictionary, cause it would be lot many times that Google thinks. ha ha ha..

This could be the first time when I started writing a blog when I haven't finished the first one. Its not that I have nothing to write for previous blog but I couldn't stop myself from writing it. In my every blog, somehow i mention the corruption but didn't dare to write a dedicated piece. Even though I dared it 'Kalyug and Corruption' blog. I couldn't stop myself from write one more so Shall I start?? ha ha ha..

I once heard a story, I am not sure if its true or not but here it is. At the time when British ruled they used get pay very less. Hence the police was allowed to take some money from the shopkeepers called as 'Hapta'. Yes now u knows from where all started. This 'Hapta' has now been transformed into 'Telecom scam' worth 1500000000000 rupees. Thats..big one from A Raja and its associates.

I was thinking we have so much corruption in India, how come our country don't reach to the top position. I think they haven't included the scale otherwise no one can move us from that well deserved place. ha ha ha..

One interesting thought came to my mind that What if corruption is made legal. Ahh..I think if we do that corruption would fall than what it is now. You may think that how can this happen but I think this can happen.

Reason are as follows (This is my signature style).
1) First of all Government has to constitute one regulatory body 'Corruption Authority of India'. One more regulatory body who will look after all the corruption in India. Most busiest them of all, would be automatically chaired by A. Raja and Deputy as Suresh kalmadi. 50% employees would automatically recruited from my great state of Maharashtra, no need for MNS to protest. ha ha ha...

2) All the courts would start to function properly, 100% cases would be termed as illegal but new problem may start. Like people start filling the cases for people not being corrupt but they will be minuscule in the number ha haha..

3) New parties would be formed like 'Corruption party of India' or 'Bhartiya corrupt Janata Party, Corruption Sena etc. etc. But criteria for the tickets for these parties won’t change because Corruption was the criteria for all these years. Now Parties would start to find the most corrupt person in the constituencies. There would be a war like situation because now it would be open and count would be too high to handle for these parties.

4) The candidates had to declare there corruption amount or the candidates who has highest amount in the Swiss bank. More the amount greater the chance of getting the Ticket.

5) There would a special cell for Anti-Anti-Corruption Bureau where all the cases where corruption is not been done will be handled. They would be the least working force in India. ha ha .. They would be at last be at peace because as the corruption becomes legal, they won’t be used as tool to people who are corrupt.

6) One this which is beneficial would happen and that is amount to be paid as bribe, cause now amounts are as per the need of the person. Once its been legal, all has to be open. They will have a clear idea about amount about the government rate and corruption rate; they will have to shed to get their work done. .. This will help their work to get over in a faster time.

7) This way if Government starts with the corruption which it any ways does in other section apart from the salaries of its employees. If it happens there, these employees will feel the pain and would realize what common people go through.

8) Imagine all the government offices will have the pictures of the politicians from the Maharashtra. In that too there wont be place to put more pictures of them. In that there would be fights in the different states that outside politicians are be hanged on the wall.. not literally but there pics...ha ha ha ha..

9) News papers and News channels would go bankrupt because they wont have anything to show or write about. Magazines like 'Tehelka', 'India Today' would get shut in few months. All the news channels then fill there time showing Dongi baba's or "World End Stories" like India TV. Then there will be fiery debates about the 'amount of corruption happened', 'Why its was so Low?' etc. etc...

10) Who knows a award would start like 'Noble Corruption Award' which would be given to India politicians. Did I wrote something wrong, Noble price is given on international basis so who come to Indian politicians. I have a reason, As we all know about our "Great Democracy" there is no challenge that how trained they are in this game. This way this award will be booked for at least 10 year for Indian politicians if u look this years scams. Who knows later on they convert it to 'Noble Corruption India Award'. ha ha ha ha...

When naxalites collects the money from people, government calls it as extortion racket. But the same government people accepts money from the people we call it corruption. I think its time to rename it and call it as 'extortion'. They may give them a minute to think but as I had written in my previous blog, it is a 'Kalyug'. Every thing is ok, we are supposed to be corrupt and these people making this as the golden period of Kalyug.

Whatever was my assumption one thing is pretty much clear and that is corruption has become an integral part of india society. We normally say that politicians are corrupt, bureaucrats are corrupt because its very easy to blame to others. But truth is we all are corrupt people, you may argue about it but its a very simple test. Whenever we go to shop to select wheat or rice, we don't check the whole sack but a handful of grain only. Same way these politicians or these corrupt people are handful but they are part of much larger people in the sack we call Society.

Lets hope that this wont become a reality literally or is it too late..

Run of my life, the first one - Pune marathon

8:48 AM Posted by iSachin No comments
As expected the Sunday wasn't as peaceful as I thought. Had to wake up early in the morning at 5.30 and got ready. I always wanted to participate in a marathon as I consider myself an athlete. But I didn't thought that it would so hard to actually do it. No no not the running part but to wake up... ha ha ha..

Some how I got up with bit insistence from my Uncle. If he had not been there I might have skipped it but to my dismay he was here on Saturday. As I said we got ready and reached at the event place that is at 'Lakdi Bridge'. It was at 7 am something but run was at 8 am. Usually I dont get hungry in the morning but somehow I got and started to search form some pohe. I had only 100Rs not in my pocket.

I found one stall where 'garama garam pohe' were ready and waiting for me. When I asked to him for it he asked for change. I had only 100Rs note and he asked me to bring the change. I was so hungry that I started to ask for change to every passer by but as we know when u need something you don't get it. I never wanted to have Pohe so desperately in my entire life. I am telling u the full description just because I was really hungry. ha ha ha ha..

After having mast Pohe and Tea, I finally arrived at starting place. I never been such a run, only saw on Television but there were many groups. At one peace of road all the school children were seating, waiting for there turn to run. One group was the people from a private company, They really had a very big crowd. Enjoying every bit of it. All were having same jursies, they were promoting there companies by taking part in a charity run.

I think enough of my morning saga its time to have some gyaan(information) on the event, Pune international marathon'

The Pune International Marathon is an annual marathon foot-race run in Pune, India.

The City's tryst with the marathon began way back in 1920's when the famous Deccan Gymkhana hosted the first meeting of the Indian Olympic movement. This was followed by organization of the first ever national marathon of the country in 1919.

Unfortunately, the event was shelved into cold storage with the passage of time. Rebirth of the historic event came by only because of the vision and foresight of Puneites.

Again the newly started marathon's The first edition of the race was begun in 1983, and the 20th edition was held in 2005. It attracts many international participants, who compete with local.


I think enough of my morning saga its time to have some gyaan(information) on the event, Pune international marathon'

Some how I managed to loose my uncle on the bridge where his mates were gathered. I tried to call him but such was the noise that he could here a single word. I let him go and started wonder around looking for something news. They I was biggest scamster of India Suresh Kalmadi on the podium with him there were many athletes one I could recognize was VirDhawal Khade and many other which obviously I didn't know. One thing which caught my eye was Sameera Reddy looking as gorgeous as ever and with him Vivek Oberoy the 'CharityEvent Man'.

["CharityEvent Boy - Vivek oberai and Great Leader of Pune - Suresh Kalmadi..:)

While I was observing lot more things as I should be race began, all my colleague started with me. We were quite fast for some distance, for about 200m. Then we all realize that the race is going to be for 3.5Km and we need not run fast cause our aim was to finish the race and not win the award. As it was a charity run we thought lets walk the remaining 3.3Km distance..ha ha ha..

While we were about to take the right from Lakshmi road for way to Swargate, I had thought of going to Appa Balwant Chawk and take the bus way to home. Later I thought as any way I lost the uncle few minutes earlier, this would be the height of laziness. So I abandoned the Idea and continued my journey.

Some how we reached there, It was about 8 something. We took some pictures, specially me with the Victory Sign in the air like I have just finished the Olympic marathon. Whatever it was, I was joyous that I have finished the race. When I was doing my photo shoot, simultaneously a cultural program was going besides me. The program started with a dance number from 'Des mera rangila' from 'Fanaa' movie. Then there were some lavni performances, I was never been big fan of Lavni but recently there been very good songs so enjoyed it a lot. Some how my uncle reached there and he contacted me. When I met him at the Nehru stadium. Yeah..didn't I tell u our finish was at Nehru stadium.

[Des mera Rangila]

[Zakas Lavni]


[Neha Basin - See the expression of lady sitting behind]

When we actually met, Neha Basin basin came on the stage and started to do her thing..singing and dancing of course. My uncle was list interested in her performance, so we had to leave the venue.

We started our return journey, on foot. When we left the stadium the actual athletes, the professional once started arriving. Everyone on the roadside were cheering for them, which they were least bothered. Anyways we finished our way back somehow which other fellow charity runners.

Once thing I noticed that this was the first time that I had very little sleep and then again had to run at least 500m but I wasn't tired at all. Its another thing that I couldn't sleep after that but felt good. Many be the enthusiasm of the participant and the cool weather we are having in Pune helped me but I surely felt good. This was my first marathon and I didn't run much but I finished and this was enough for me. I think everyone has to participate in such event or should add it in there list of 'Things needs to be done before they die'..ha ha ha ha..

Wikileaks - Baap of all leaks

9:00 AM Posted by iSachin 4 comments
This was quite a hectic month, at least for me. So many things happened this week. But to be frank I like to be busy as It makes me think less about all the troubles in life. Last month was very special as there very lot of new things happened, which we never imagined were happen, at least not in our lifetime.

Biggest news in terms of the impact were revelation on wikileaks. Some of you would argue that there are leaks of Conversation Tapes of Radia regarding the Telecom scam, why am I not writing on this. I also agree that this scam is big but I would say that Telecom is corruption scam and leaks are related to it. But if you consider the Wikileaks, its been the international politics of Americans which actually touches our daily lives. This leak of information is really a eyeopener for many Historians and Pandits so. let it be.. :)

I have been once went to that site as I came to know about it. It was really amazing how secret documents can be easily seen on the net. I myself tried to read about the document related to India. There was one document but it wasn't so confidential so I let it go.

I think many of you might now know about this because when my friend read about my blog while I was writing. He asked this question 'What is this Wikileaks?'. I thought of explaining him about it but I myself had little knowledge about it. So I tried to open the site but As expected after so much of noise in the world media, the site has been blocked.

[Blocked site]

Let me brief about wikileaks
WikiLeaks is an international non-profit media organization that publishes submissions of otherwise unavailable documents from anonymous news sources and leaks. Its website, launched in 2006, is run by The Sunshine Press. Within a year of its launch, the site claimed a database that had grown to more than 1.2 million documents.

While doing some research on this blog I found a very interesting article in the Economic times where they have reported that Wikileaks going to publish the US Secret documents related to the the UFO's. Its been the greatest mystery of all, the existence of these aliens. There may not be anything new but its worth waiting for these documents.
http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/7042278.cms

[Julian Assange - Wikileaks founder]

One can debate the real impact of these on International politics. The world view about the Americans is not at all good these days after Iraq and Afghanistan wars but after this its been reached very low. The biggest secrets in-terms of we Indian is revelations about Pakistan. It could be the top secrets for US Government but for an ordinary Indian we knew all which came from these documents.

The growth of the website has sparked major debate on whether the website has been acting in the public good or whether it could potentially endanger the public specially US Citizens. Whatever it may be but he has done the biggest damage to the US diplomacy around the world. There are some secrets which are good if they are remain that way but who knew that a insider would download these documents and publish is on the web. The about of information is so huge that there publish hundreds of documents at time. Even though it is too much information to soak in. The TV channels who were spent whole weeks churning on a single story. On this much information they would insure sure shot news feed for entire life time.

Question may prop in your head that why is this important. Whats the use of leaking the secret documents. What impact it would have on our lives because information is generated when two government interact each other. But do we really needs to take these leaks very seriously, it is really the information or the perspectives of the individual diplomats working in these countries. There can be a debate on this but one thing is sure, the world politics is not going to be the same as it was in the past.

So lets wait for more leaks

26/11 Mumbai Attack - We Will Not Forget

8:38 AM Posted by iSachin 2 comments
What an unusual climate we are having where in November, its overcast and raining. I couldn't even remember when did this happened last time. Same as the political situation in the country where it looks like every politician is trying to prove that he is biggest scamster. This was the precise reason I have never written a complete blog on corruption. Because as soon as I would finish the blog on Corruption there would be a new scandal and I would need to update the blog every other day. At least that's the frequency of these scams now a days.

I absolutely get disgusted when I see these politicians who after gaining the trust of the people, literally don't do anything. In few days the anniversary of 26/11 is approaching and we are faced with the scams of people who are supposed to protect us.


For myself i never felt so helpless in my whole life. It was the continuous torture for 3 days. We all never felt so helpless, I could see that on everyone's faces. Every day we all were praying that all is well but from somewhere the news was coming that there are some more terrorist. It was a horrible feeling and wont want anybody to experience it.

If somebody tells you that this wont happen again, It would take a great deal to convince me. May be that person will fail because we all know nothing has improved on the ground. I am sure that politicians must have done someway or the other scam. It they have not let of war widows of Kargil Hearoes, this war was just for 3 days for them and nothing else.

Even when the attach finished our agency did was to run to every super power and whine about pakistan. The epicenter of Terrorism, but some way we are also responsible or our agencies. We always new that Mumbai is the prime target but never got serious.

Sometimes I feel dishartened when I hear about terrorist using '26/11 Mumbai Attack' as template. If this kind of event happens anywhere in the world, they dont need to search find the evidence

Government is harping that following steps they have taken or going to take but GOD only know what they have done. But they have promised us a lot of things and I got to know few of them so lets see if any of these things you know or recall.
Leadership of the country at that time stressed that the country was totally committed to a comprehensive approach to tackle terrorism and put in sustained intensive efforts to end this menace, it outlined a number of measures taken in the post 26/11 scenario to deal with various facets of terrorism.

Galvanising and recognizing the Multi-Agency Centre (MAC) in the IB to enable it to function on 24X7 basis.
The MAC was also obliged to share intelligence with all other agencies, including agencies of the State governments and Union Territories. An online, dedicated and secured connectivity between all the designated members of the MAC, between the MAC and the Subsidiary Multi-Agency Centres (SMACs) in 30 key locations across the country was also being established.

The National Security Guards (NSG), whose commandos battled the terrorists in Mumbai last November, now have four NSG hubs – each with an operational strength of around 250 personnel – in Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai. The government had decided to set up two regional centres of the NSG in Hyderabad and Kolkata, to enable quick response to terror attacks.

As many as 20 temporary Counter-Insurgency and Anti-Terrorism Schools were being set up during the 11th Plan period. Four such schools each would be set up in Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa so as to provide training to police personnel of these States to tackle the naxal menace, the statement said.

Following 26/11, coastal security was also reviewed at various levels. Under the ongoing Coastal Security Scheme, 64 out of 73 coastal police stations were operationalised. Coastal States and Union Territories were also given 47 interceptor boats so far. It would go up to 126 by March 2010.

As many as 79 new battalions of the Central Para-Military Forces were sanctioned since 2004-05 and a proposal for raising 38 additional battalions of the Central Reserve Police Force, including two battalions of women personnel, was recently approved by the Cabinet Committee on Security. Out of these, 38 battalions, three would be raised in 2009-10.

The ceiling with regard to the strength of the Central Industrial Security Force, which guards airports and public sector units, was enhanced to 1,45,000 from 93,521 in 2005.

The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act was amended and notified on December 31 last year to reinforce the legal and punitive provisions of law to combat terrorism with greater focus and for strengthening of provisions relating to financing of terrorism, bail, power to call for information.

A Model Police Act, drafted by an expert committee in 2006, which provided for well defined duties and responsiveness and sensitivity of the police towards public and accountability to rule of law was sent to the States for consideration. Assam, Bihar, Chattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Tripura and Uttarakhand either framed New Police Acts or amended the existing ones.

The National Police Mission was also set up with the aim of equipping the police to think creatively and help it transform itself from a reactive to a proactive organization.
Sometimes I feel that we should stop blaming our security forces because at-least they do something which they have been taught something in the Academies but for politicians there is nothing. It would be fruitless to expect anything from them.

There has been some visible changes we are seen in our neighborhood or area but it comes only when there is a red alert or for a politicians visits. I myself never felt to also admire the stress of the security forces. They cannot do more because first of all they are very less in number and second that they are not that well trained.

I actually planned to publish this before the 26/11's second anniversary but for some reasons it got delays. Anyway it doesn't dilute the seriousness of the situation. The main motive of this blog was to make aware why were went into that horrible situation and what are the things which are promised to us by the government.

Lets not be complacent this time, because we have a very dangerous neighborhood. We need to put place our house in the order, because the danger is lurking on our head all the time. I hope that day would never come but if it comes we need to be better prepared.

Yes, We Can - Magic of Obama

8:47 AM Posted by iSachin 2 comments
Its been a landmark visit by the US President Barak Obama to our country recently but this time around there has been a paradigm shift. I was keenly awaiting for his visit, wanted to know the thoughts for such a powerful personality in the world. A person who has won hearts of millions of Americans in last election. First black person who has won the presidency in US.

I was keenly following the electoral process in the US, start from the selection of the candidates of the 2 parties from the primaries. I think, i never gave 5% of my attention to the Indian elections (Gharki murgi daal barabar). It was really a good entertainment where everyday there was new revelations literally every day. allegations and counter allegations was the flavour of the season. I learned lot how the presidential form of democracy works.

It was really a fascinating story of a man who has such colorful past (not like Tiger woods but in good sense) lets see what was he, how he became the man he is today. Most of all what was my thinking about him or perceptions about him.

When I first read about him as running for presidency at that time I thought he didn't had any chance to win, That too against Hillary Clinton. At that time there was a great love affair going on between US and India via Bush and Manmohan Singh. US was ready to do anything to counter China hence it started to elevate the status of India by awarding the Nuclear Deal.

Sometimes there was this great tamasha of Democrat and Republic Primaries going on. I must say they have a superb system to elect some one to elect him again for presidency. ha ha ha.. Let it be, There was very unique thing was happening. It was ki both the candidates by the Democrats could have been there historic first i.e. First Women president or First Black male president. In case of Barak Obama, even though I follow lot for international politics, never heard of his name.

An as the campaign progressed he fallen behind Hillary Clinton. But at end of the campaign he took the lead and Hillary Clinton, where she accepted her defeat. My thinking was Hillary could have been a better president in relation to India than Barak obama. But Its in traditions of democrats that there are conservative party unlike Republican who are promoters of free trade. Which by the way we need now to progress.

In elections, as he is the incredible speaker gave the massage of change, message was 'Yes, We Can'. Americans were ready to listen to only one message, Message of 'Change'. That's what Barak Obama gave to them. He inspired the young generation in the US, which was some what disassociated with the historical Racial Discrimination. They voted in large number to this black president. Rest is history my friends.

Immediately within one year of his presidency he got the Nobel peace prize. I was shocked to hear that, when a person who absolutely did nothing substantial for peace on world stage got this award. World had a great love affair with him. Many Americans were very surprised to hear about his win, cause this was the times when Financial crisis was at its peak. They wanted there president to be doing something for them, They new the real Obama. Not the world who were not affected by his policies or his decisions. I truly think that by giving the Nobel peace prize to the president in his first year of presidency and that to without any substantial work done in that area, thus Jury has discredited the prize. Even Mahatma Gandhi hasn't got it, May be because he is far greater that those prizes.

President Obama made waves in India when he strongly advocated the anti-outsourcing Bills and Discriminatory visa policies where Indian companies were made to pay the bills for border security of US with Mexico. He had to do it for his local constituencies as the mid-term elections where there and had to fulfill his promises. At least wanted to pretend to do something.

And then came the visit of India. There was great controversy going on for not informing the India about David Headly. The US Ambassador was continuously bombarded with those questions but amazing, he never got frustrated and made all the positive noises. I said this time it was different because he was playing for the galleries of US media where he is pretending to be 'Creating thousands of Jobs in Us'. He signed deals worth $10 Billion, but its nothing compare to scams such as telecoms scam which are worth $35 billion. Though he was happy with that and we are too.

He made a historical speech in the parliament where he supported the bid for permanent seat to UN Council. UN Council Seat which India has made a issue of great pride, I would rather write on this afterwards. We all Indians waiting to hear that, everyone was happy. Along with that he also made so very good comments as follows.

My confidence in our shared future is grounded in my respect for India’s treasured past-a civilization that has been shaping the world for thousands of years. Indians unlocked the intricacies of the human body and the vastness of our universe. And it is no exaggeration to say that our information age is rooted in Indian innovations-including the number zero”.

He again applauded and thanked Mahatma Gandhi saying, ” I might not be standing before you today, as President of the United States, had it not been for Gandhi and the message he shared with America and the world”.

President Obama also praised India’s multi-cultural society and its social fabric that gives space for the co-existence to people of all castes, class, colors and creed. Obama also praised India’s strong democracy.
He again emphasized how the USA welcomes India as an emerging global power and also stressed the need for co-operation in defense and civil space. Obama also spoke about Indo-US partnership in science, agriculture, economic ties, space research and health.

I really impressed with his wife Michelle Obama and her dancing skills. Only disappointment i had was such a educated women who was once worked as lawyer didn't got a single invitation form any of our leading educational institutes. Her insights could have been inspirational to lot of young girls, god knows who made her itinerary.

My conclusion was that he visit could have been different but I could see the falling image and economical stature of US. US has not been the same country is was 10 years ago. But this president is doing his bit to take the US Citizen out of this crisis and the world indirectly. Everyone hates US but wants to go and leave there, such is the world and to work as president of such country is truly remarkable job. We ought to respect him for enormous responsibilities on the shoulder.

The thing which me is his message and we also need to apply in our lives.

Yes, We can

Get Exhausted

9:05 AM Posted by iSachin No comments
Hi..All. I think this is been the longest gap in blog since i started writing (or preaching for some people. ha ha ha) at my second stint. This was the good time to look at my silly work (some may say that, ha ha ha) but basically the reason for gap was I was out of Pune to my hometown for Diwali Vacations and there was no internet there. I even couldn't find a net cafe at my Taluka Place such was the situation. Never the less you all has peaceful some days but guess what happy days are over and I am back.

I really needed the break as i was continuously working or may I dare to say 'going to office' or may be not doing good at work..whatever..I was exhausted and I felt that. I never imagined how people get exhausted but you wont feel that unless and until you do.

As always i found a very interesting fact about the free time According to a new study published in the January 2010 issue of the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, people experience better moods, greater vitality and fewer aches and pains from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, even if they like their job.


Sometimes you get so busy with your work so much that you won't realize that you are missing so many things in life that otherwise you would have done. Its time to retrospect,

According to me There can be 2 type of work,
  • Professional work - Which we do by going to office. Not just going to office but doing some constructive work there. Most of our life we spent to earn money for one and once family.
  • Unprofessional work - This work is any work which we do outside office like social work or helping elders etc. This work is also as important as our professional work, which let an individual to grow with right attitude. Its not that i do it but i think it is important. But yes if one gets the chance to make a change he or she should not hesitate from it.

You may find it amateurish. Don't take unprofessional as completely unprofessionally, its just to make the distinction where we earn money or not because end of the day every thing revolve about money. And yes, I wrote this as we tell to differentiate the work we do in our daily life and Unprofessional work is as important as being professional.

So where was I, as usual I left the main topic and dragged you all somewhere else. let it be, now you all know my unprofessional writing ..ha ha ha..

Many of you must be having this exhaustive feeling but sometimes being unprofessional is good thing. Every one should be unprofessional of sometime. Doing absolutely nothing, sleeping late waking up late, even though we have been thought otherwise.

I am not sure if this gap or free-time has helped me as there bigger problems waiting for me, but I am 200% sure it would definitely help you. Haa.. one thing is sure, it spared me some time to introspect and what i need to do in immediate future.

So best of luck for your free time but before that don't forget to get exhausted.

Raaz Pichle Job Ka

8:33 AM Posted by iSachin 2 comments
You people must have seen the reality show 'Raaz Pichle Janam Kaa', where a woman hypnotize the person and ask him about his or her's life. People reveal very interesting stories about 'What was there previous life?', 'What there were doing?' and 'How did they die? etc...

While i was discussing about the subject to write this week end with my friends in lunch few days back, I tumbled upon this subject. I told them that i am going to write about it. They laughed at me. One of them said to me that no need to hypnotize him, he will reveal everything there only..
but his subject stuck to me.


I was wondered if something like 'Raaz Pichle Job kaa' starts then what could happen. We would see lot of interesting stories which we don't tell to anybody. If you have seen this happens in every interview where we are asked about out previous job. We most of the time tell the bad experiences, but most of the time that its been good or may be not....

Don't worry I am not going to reveal anything. Its not that I don't have anything but its my idea to have this kind of stuff so I have the right to deny you my Raaz's ha ha ha ....

Some people might reveal something extraordinary or something funny. I am sure everybody has a story literally everyday, and we spend most of life in working somewhere or the other. Something like this will help them to reveal it. People who are in there first job wont have this privilege, may be they realize it when they move on to next job..best of luck to them.

But thank god such think doesn't exists, or may be this could be the forum for that. So tell me about the interesting stories of yours with different names or logins so that no one would find that who has written it. Lets see who dares to do that.. I may right .. but if I do that, it would surely be with different login ..so just watch out for the comments on this blog..

Be courageous and write something funny, dark or of no meaning and let reader know about something you may not have told to anybody from last job... of course..

I bet it would be the same story everywhere..

Life.Equals(Struggle) is always true

1:55 AM Posted by iSachin 1 comment
Today my topic will be Life and Struggle. This would be a very big step for me.. writing on something like this but... lets see if I put it in simpler way and at the end you get enlightened or confused.

Lets start with 2 quote and a image at the start..

Life is like a blanket too short. You pull it up and your toes rebel, you yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder; but cheerful folks manage to draw their knees up and pass a very comfortable night. ~Marion Howard

We are born wet, naked, and hungry. Then things get worse. ~Author Unknown

You would say..this is something different. Kind of new start to my blog, then my answer would yes ... because my friend Utpal told me that I usually start with same statements and I wanted to break my own consistency in repeating the statements..ha ha ha...

Now again come to our main topic... Life and struggle.

Have you ever imagined 'what is life?'. When I started to research about this, I astonished to find that there is no concrete answer. You your self can check that, just try to search about '
what is life?'

In my view Life and Struggle are one and the same thing. You would argue that... no no no.. but would also not have any concrete answer like my search on the net. But I have, in my view What we call life or something has life when there is a movement. What is movement it is kind of struggle to change the current state. There's your answer. Life is nothing but a struggle if you see that way..of course...:)

One way of looking at it is the journey ones take from birth to death. There also movement from on state to another and for that the struggle.

You must have heard about people talking about there life that I have lived my life for fullest. I have done so many things in my life. This is my life, This way should be ones life..Blah blah..blah..
If you ask me life is only struggle and nothing else but in that struggle of life or journey of life, how you see your life is more important. If you take any person literally every person, no one would say that they have not struggled in there life.

Now you would realize that struggle is a big part of life and hence need to enjoy it as well. There is no gain in life without it. So don't get demoralized by it, as if you only struggling. Everybody struggles and more successful struggles even more. I would conclude with ....

With out struggle there is no life

Here are some of the beautiful quotes from some of the least known people..99% of them might be dead.. that's life for you...


When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me." ~Erma Bombeck

The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth. ~Chinese Proverb

Life is simple, it's just not easy. ~Author Unknown

I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it. ~Jack Handey

Life is a foreign language: all men mispronounce it. ~Christopher Morley, Thunder on the Left

In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. ~Kathy Norris


To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else. ~Emily Dickinson

My life has a superb cast but I can't figure out the plot. ~Ashleigh Brilliant

I say, if your knees aren't green by the end of the day, you ought to seriously re-examine your life. ~Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes

You fall out of your mother's womb, you crawl across open country under fire, and drop into your grave. ~Quentin Crisp

As we struggle to make sense of things, life looks on in repose. ~Author Unknown

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets. ~Arthur Miller

Life is a whim of several billion cells to be you for a while. ~Author Unknown

Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can. ~Danny Kaye

I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches. ~Alice Roosevelt Longworth

Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once. ~Lillian Dickson

Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up. ~Author Unknown

Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be. ~Grandma Moses

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer. ~Jim Carrey

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can. ~Cary Grant

My grandfather always said that living is like licking honey off a thorn. ~Louis Adamic

Why torture yourself when life'll do it for you?

Nobody Is Like My Desi Girl

1:20 AM Posted by iSachin 1 comment
Once john Ibrahim Said that there are two type of women in this world one type is Good and second type is Very Good. I 200% agree with him, on that I would like to add that Indian women are of third type i.e. Very Very Good. I sometimes amazed by the achievements of the women in the sports field because kind of Male Dominant society we have. It is really a commendable and inspirational performances by these women.

Two days back the CWG extravaganza ended, irrespective of the skepticism of the local and foreign media games were a astounding success. India finished second place as expected thanks to our tally of Golds. We ditched England to 3rd place with only solitary Gold Medal.



Its very spirited performances of the India Athletes, We always think that athletics is not made for the Indian's. We are naturally at disadvantage, we wont be successful at that. But we all proved wrong by these very strong and beautiful women. One more gold in 400 x 4 rellay where Indian women won a gold medal. It is really a proud moments for India as we won a Gold medal in Athletics after 50 years. I saw the 'Flying Sikh' Milkha Sing that he is not expecting any medals in the athletics but we got more than that of all the previous CWG games combined together.

Why Athletics is more important and not the other sports. There could be a valid reason as It happens before much more larger crowds than other sports. As all the indoors sports cannot have large audience. We all know the status of women in the Indian society hence there fit becomes all more important.



In this CWG Games we came to know many names of new girls who there unique stories and beating all the odds, done well for India. These games cannot judge the achievement for these girls as they come from very different background. Unlike there western counterparts who has all the facilities in the world. Still winning medal in such a international platform is really some thing we should very very proud of.

List of Women who won the Gold Medals in the Order.
  • Sayyid Shooting 25m Pistol Women
  • Renu Bala Chanu Weightlifting 58 kg Women
  • Kumar Wrestling 55 kg Women
  • Devi Wrestling 55kg Free Style Women
  • Banerjee, Dipika Kumri, Bombayala Devi of Archery Women Team Recurve
  • Tomar 59Kg Women Freestyle Wrestling
  • Anitha 67Kg Women Freestyle Wrestling
  • Kumari won Gold medal in Archery Women Indivdual Recurve
  • Punia won the Gold medal for India in Discus Throw Women
  • Annu Raj Singh, Heena Sidhu won the Gold medal for India in Women Pairs 10m Air Pistol
  • A.C. Ashwini, Manjeet Kaur, Mandeep Kaur and Sini Jose won the Gold medal for India in 4 X 400 Women Relay
  • Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponappa win gold in Badminton women's doubles event
  • Saina Nehwal won gold in Badminton women's singles event



We should not forget that on last day there were last match of Saina Nehwal and Hockey Team. We need one gold to go to 2nd place, and as expected it was provided by the Saina. Australia Thrashed India in the Hockey that to as expected. We got 2 gold medals on Last Day both by the Girls in the Badminton. Atleast 2nd Place was very Indians Dream and these Girls have made it happen.

Now its the time to give awards to them because if we want to hear the national Anthem again and again we need such brave women. We as Indians has to give these athletes there dues as they worked really hard and win medals for India. There are these inspirational performances by the Girls from India that made India very proud. We have to acknowledge that what hardship they must have gone to make India Proud. This made me say and you all would agree with me...

5 Pandava's of Indian Cricket

4:51 AM Posted by iSachin 1 comment
Two days back we won the nail biting test match at Mohali. That game had it all. First inning lead to the Australia then Great comeback by India in 2nd innings of Australia where all the bowlers used 4th day pitch very well. It was in the grasp of Team India but once again like there performance in the 90's there was collapse.

I myself had already given up but I had little hope with the V.V.S. Laxman as in the past he has been proved the nemesis of the Australian. Got busy in the work and during lunch break got the news about India winning. It was the crucial partnership between the Laxman and Ishant Sharma which saved the day for the India.

My generation has been very privileged as we are been witness of this wonderful batting line up and a superb bowler. I have tried to map there the abilities with the Pandava's for Mahabharata.
Lets see if u can do that too..

Saurav Ganguly - Udhiṣṭhira meaning "steady in war". This boy from Kolkata made 3 back to back Debut centuries. Never seemed to be the captaincy material at the start. But ever since he had taken the reins of the India cricket after the turbulent times of match fixing, India never looked back. He is been the Leader who has given immense confidence to the Team. Made them believe that they can win the outside. He brought the killer instinct to the Team. Ever since that time Team India became one of the feared team in the World.

Sachin - Arjuna the Hero of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. Arjuna, whose name means 'bright', 'shining', 'white' or 'silver' . What can I write about him. He is like a god to all of us. There can be 1000 adjective which are seems well matched. This boy from Mumbai started his cricket at very young age and went on to become a living legend. Only cricketer whom with Sir Don Bradman seen himself. This could be the biggest honor for any cricketer. He has got many awards and reward but his has never deviated from his goal same like Arjuna. He is been there and making runs for India for last 20 years and shall making the runs for years to come. He is the Hero of the India cricket and we are very proud of him.

Anil Kumble - Bhīma one of the central characters of Mahabharata and the second of the Pandava Brothers. Bhima was distinguished from his brothers by his great stature and unimaginable strength. These are the qualities which we still can see the Anil Kumble. He is been the Big hearted cricketer. He is been respected by his stature in Team India who has so many great batsman in the era. This guy from Banguluru never accepted the defeat and hard fought till the last. His medium paced leg spin was biggest strength to the Team India. To wrap up the tail Enders was his special ability. We lack now days in the team especially today when bottom plays for Australia still playing. We would keep on wondering whether What would have happened if Anil Kumble would have been there in the team?......

As soon as Nakula and Sahadeva were born, an incorporeal voice said, ‘In energy and beauty these twins shall transcend even the twin Aswin’s themselves.’

Rahul Dravid - Naküla In the Mahabharata, Nakula is described as extremely attractive, ("devastatingly handsome"), supreme in intelligence, and full of love. We can see these traits in the Rahul Dravid's Batting. His batting is extremely attractive, he has very good eye to access the situation and plays accordingly this shows his supreme intelligence. His love for the cricket is seen from his behavior on the field. Rightly called as 'The Wall', he has been instrumental in the% past for saving test matches and winning. When he started he had the record of most Nineties on his name which was later on surpassed by the Steve Waugh. He was very week in the One Day cricket. He was in and out of the ODI squad. Sometimes he has done wicket keeping to save his place in the side

VVS Laxman - Sahadeva. This guy is been very very special, especially against Australia. Sahadeva was very good at management of the Cattles but this guy from Hyderabad is very good at management of the Kangaroo’s. Ha ha ha.... He is the man in the very critical stage. Never got his dues in the past but people had started admiring him lately which is good thing. He has played his part superbly in many wins and hope he would keep on doing the same in the future.

That incorporeal voice was correct in every sense, these two batsmen indeed brought the energy and glory to the team.

In most of the last decade these Pandava's fought many battles and brought victory to the India. Only Samay (or Kaal) knows when this bunch of cricketers would play for India again. There is hope in the current breed of cricketers but there only one Pandava's of India Cricket.

Sachin, Saurav, Anil, Rahul and Laxman

Positive Thinking - Way to Right Thinking.

9:24 AM Posted by iSachin 9 comments
Today I visited the Chintamani at Theor, I was planning to go there for very long time. Somehow all got together I went there. This was been my 2nd visit to Chintamani. It has been believe that Chintamani solves your Worries in your mind. This time also he would help me as the case 3 years ago.

Obliviously I am not writing a memoir or traveling guide. As my visit I have been planning to write about this for very long time but it is a very complicated subject than a difficult one. You all probably agree with me for this, but it is not impossible.


If one asked about he or her thinking is positive or negative, oblivious answer is always affirmative. That you know but why we give that answer, have u ever thought about it? I have the answer, its because we give the answer cautiously. Hence we give it affirmative as it is the right think to do and because we don't like negative think of course...

Do we really think positive? if one ask this question to self then answer would be probably negative because, because what we are humans and that's what humans do. They are engineered in a such way they screw up. Its there nature we call it as human nature..ha ha ha..

If you ask me this questions, my answer would be 'I intent to. Why? because I am human too, if you have noticed? ha ha ha.. Even though I am lecturing on this subject. hmmm.. because I thought positively for writing. Not considering the negative feedback I would get for this.

Start Thinking Positive and you would find -

1. What u give is what you get so when you send out positive vibes in your speech, your thoughts, and your actions, you are more likely to have positive things happen in your life.
2. You would enjoy better health. Positive people are healthier, and this has been scientifically proven. Furthermore, people who do get ill have a better chance of recovery when they adopt or keep a positive attitude.
3. Always there will be peace of mind. You will be amazed at the sense of peace that you experience once you’ve adopted a positive attitude with positive thought.
4. Happy hours all the time. positive attitude people are much happier than others, despite what is going on around them. This fact has been proved and one can confirm with positive thinking.
5. You will get better at the things that you do. When you have a positive outlook, your mind functions better, allowing you to learn things much easier, and even to retain information more easily.
6. People will like to be around you more. People simply do not like to be around someone who is negative all of the time. It becomes like a poison. Positive people are more like the cure for everything, and people enjoy their company and are inspired by them.
7. You will have more energy. Positive people almost always enjoy higher levels of energy. This is because negativity sucks away more energy than positivity, and this has been proven.




One could wonder why we don't think positive so for this my simple answer would be 'we are constantly confused'. Yes, we are always confused with what we want to do in life. Hence the opportunity or situation comes, we could not think in right direction. In this situation positive thinking always helps because it gives us the sense of direction. We always knew what we should do, in this context positive thinking helps immensely.

I read up on various subjects and discovered that what you think influences the way you feel which in turn influences how you deal with situations in your life. It is kind of cycle, if u think positive you will fill good and if you feel good you would think positive even more..

There is a catch in this i.e. positive thinking is not sure shot way to right thinking but it is a reference point where at least we can think over. This reduces the confusion and hence gives the ability to take right decisions. In life its all about taking the right decisions. So I think you would start thinking Positive and not Negative.

Ayodhya Verdict - What young Indian Thinks?

1:32 AM Posted by iSachin 7 comments
Today supposed to be the historical day as every one was awaiting for the Babri Masjid case verdict but High court judges differed it for out of court compromise. There reason to postponing was to give the another chance for negotiations and wanted to be not seen on wrong side of the history.

Every one was keenly awaiting for the verdict and wanted that chapter to be closed forever. This really going to be the key turning point in the history of modern India as whole world is watching us. Irrespective of the kind of case it would be the true test of our Democracy and society. This verdict is awaited by everyone, nobody knows how it is going to be received by the people of India. I hope its is received well and everyone is abide by it.

We have seen the recursions of the Babri Masjid Demolition. It was not wanted by the majority of the people in India. If u ask me it is the darkest day of our lives, because it not war which has weaken us but this internal divide has. It was happened 20 years back and India has moved on since then. If we want to be more progressive society then we have to accept the verdict of Court because rule of land is supreme in a democracy.

Nobody know what exactly happened to start this big battle. As i have seen on the news channel it was the simple battle between 2 friends in the Ayodhya where they filed a case to get the property right for the masjid area and rest is history. As usual politicians got involved in it and used it as vote bank politics. I am intentionally not taking any name of the political party as it was done by all the parties and no one is exception. I really don't know what the real fuss about this Mosque and not all other. It is know to every one in India that when Mughal's came they destroyed the temples and built there Mosques. It was done all over world so its not that they only did it. There were kings like Akbar who admired all the religions and It is there in many places in the north india.

For many it is the issue of 'Ram Janmabhumi' hence issue of pride or emotion but as far as I know there is no real proof of it. Yes, there could be a mandir there in the past but it does not prove that it is where Ram was born. As far as I know it is a Epic where Ram's life is used as a reference where every one is supposed to live like him. What good things he done and what mistakes he has made is kind of lesson for us. There is one very interested dimension to it.

It is supposed to be a very old story where there was a king in north India. He was Ram's worshiper hence for his love to the god he renamed his capital to Ayodhya. By this way Epic of Ramayana came to life and rest is what we are seeing today. Yes, Ramayana is a Epic, at least this is what i have learned in the school.

I many be wrong but point is not that i am right or wrong. I want remind you that this are very old mythologies and in today's world we see facts. Neither Hindus not Muslims should get emotional by this event. As these politicians are going to exploit this. If we are proud of our democracy then we have to have the faith in one of the pillars of the Democracy i.e. Judiciary. We must respect its verdict and protect the harmony of the society.



I would myself like to have a all faith temple or a building where every person in India whether he is Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist or Christan would come and pray. Because any way it is going to be place for worship and not the place where actual gods going to live. It is at so many places where temple and mosque are side by side, in my home town only we have temple and masjid side by side only a narrow road divides them. I think that would be the more acceptable solution to have both places of worships.

As a modern day indian citizen I want this issue to be sorted out any how because I or we as whole should not deviate from out true goal i.e. making India superpower. If we keep on fighting on this issue then we wont able to handle the many other imporant issue like corruption, poverty, education etc. I don't know what u think but i would like to know your view on this. On more happier note I hope that 28th September decision is going to be a History changing in positive way.

Autonomy for Kashmir - Feeling of freedom

11:06 PM Posted by iSachin 2 comments
I wanted to start this post with the poem in the Kashmiri about the heaven on earth but i refrained from it. Because our leader has made more mess than it was earlier. Since last 3 months there have been massive protests in the Kashmir valley. Hundreds of people have died in these protest still there is no sign of stopping. Not even holy month of Ramzan could deter there protesters.

I don't know what the government of Omar Abdulla doing when so many our won people are getting killed. If we give him the benefit of doubt because he is young and new to this difficult job. What was the government at the center doing? Can’t anybody see that innocent people are getting killed? My strong feeling is that governments at both the places are not in control or they don't know how to handle this situation, they are simply been incompetent. Now I can recall that most people time of Kashmir was ironically in the government of Vajpayee led BJP government.

Kashmir is burning since i heard about it, i don't know what these leaders are doing for so many years that people are Kashmir cannot fill safe with India. We see elections there and we think that everything is ok. There is no need to worry about but every now and then these protests start and innocent Kashmiri boys gets killed. This has to stop somewhere. We as Indians has to listen the legitimate grievances of the Kashmiris and address them. We are not Pakistan for god sake we have a democracy, if we cannot solve these problem by dialog then only god will save us. There are problem in the other parts of the India these are also the fallout of the bad governance.

I have been hearing this that if anything would happen it would happen in the framework of the Constitution but everybody know that our constitution is a very flexible document. Constitution has been changed so many times in the past that it can been once again looked at because Kashmir is a unique case and it has been agreed by our leader in the past for autonomy.

Vajpeyeeji always had the vision for Kashmir, it was unfortunate that its government got collapsed and whole thing went into the back burner. I always thought that Manmohan Singh is visionary, he may be but handling the difficult situation he seems to be lacking the instinct.



Nobody want to pick up arms, these Kashmiri boys also have equal right to freedom. We must listen to them. Ignoring them would only increase the problem. History has taught us that no conflict can solve the problem but dialog will. So we need to continuously engage them and act on the promises. If we can talk with our biggest enemy Pakistan then we should not have any problem talking with our own people.

There could be other interpretations for 'Azadi' as they say. Unless and until we sit across the table and negotiate nothing would happen. Two days back a delegation from the Parliamentarians when to the separatists leaders, this is good beginning. Announcing big packages wont solve the problem until and unless they feel free in there own right. This process should not discontinue, as always been the case. Don't let another hundreds of Kashmiri die, its our responsibility to reconcile them.

Autonomy would not be a bad thing. They won’t be separate from the India. They would be part of India but with some independence. Many parts in the world are autonomous like in Russia and China. Let’s have our own example, let them handle it, see how things work. I don’t think that day would be far when whole world will once again say that if there is heaven on earth it is in Kashmir, in Kashmir and only in Kashmir which is peaceful part of India.

Hindu mythology - Relation between Kalyug and Corruption

9:01 AM Posted by iSachin 3 comments
I have always heard about it, sometimes experienced it, but this something else. We all have heard about amount of corruption in the country but we are least bothered about it because it won’t affect us. Our thinking is poor in the villages are affected by it, we in the cities are not but if you look closely it has been impacted us a lot but we are so used to it that we don't fill it. It has become like a love of our mother which we never care cause we are used to it.

Every one from there childhood learn right things and wrong things. We also learn about our culture. Mythologies like Yuga's and Dharmas but we tend to ignore it. I always wonder that being immoral is not a good thing but then why there is so much wrong in thing world. Leave world, just talk of India.

If you look closely corruption and Hinduism look tightly linked. Now you would agree that how come Hinduism is connected to corruption. Every country has it but they also have corruption. I have to say yes for that but the scale at which corruption happens here is unheard of.

As whole world know we are very religious and traditional people. We should be god fearing, Corruption is sin but we ignore cause 'Kalyug hai bhai?'. It is in our mythologies that these kind of things are bound to happen.

We all talk about Kalyug but do we really know it. Let me give some gyaan about it :-).



When Lord Krishna died, the Kalyug began. It started out mild and grew from there. This happened in 3102 BCE and lasted for exactly 432 000 years and ends.

The first Yuga is the Satya and is a temporal period during which purity and truth are dominant virtues. During the Satyuga people are god-like and exist perfectly and without vice. Knowledge of God is intrinsic to the people during this period. It is the golden age of Hindu tradition. Each successive Yuga hence renders a 25% decrease in humans' dharma (smirtis: moral order). Humanity's capacity and desire for that which is good and right diminishes. The second Yuga is Treta (the silver age). The third is Dvapara (bronze). The last is the Kali Yuga.

The Kalyug is the last of the four Hindu Yugas. It is most often referred to as the Dark Age or Iron Age and is one of four Yugas which form what is known as a Yogic cycle.

No wonder our country is so poor even after having greatest skilled workforce, largest resources and most fertile land on earth. What happens with the money we pay to the government. It don't reach to the poor not to us. It directly goes these corrupt people which is main impact of Kalyug. Ha ha ha.......

There are many thing in our mythologies which are wrong but we follow it like
See i told you we are supposed to be corrupt in this age, some people taking this way seriously and following the Kalyug Dharma. We are following that by ignoring it. May be our ancestors were correct and we deserve this.

In modern times people don't follow the tradition but we believe in Dharma and we are follow it religiously but is that this has to be Kalyug and not any other Yug. I don't think that we can change the Kalyug which is the time period but surely we can change the behavior we think and work.

I got idea for this from my previous Blog. I thought it would be my 'Dharma' write something about it and divert our attention toward the brazen ignorance of wrongs in our society and country as whole.

On more positive note lets try to end thing kalyug if ending is not possible, try to reduce it (some people surely heard this some where...ha ha ha.).

10 Things movies taught me

1:49 AM Posted by iSachin 2 comments

It’s been very interesting topic, I have been thinking about this for very long. Even before I started to write the blog. Sometimes it happens that we have to take some decisions but we do not have any one to fall back. We take and consequently come out to be right, then we say ohh it was just luck but we don't see how we manage to take that decision..

Its very interesting we always say that we learn from the experiences but do we really?. I don't think so, we don't do much thing apart from the work (obliviously), some people even don't do that..even though they go for work...ha ha ha ha....

Some how it happened that I discussed about the movies with my colleagues. I don't watch HindI movies unless and until it is been a mega hit. One mistake was 'Khatta mitha' but for that I had to write a complete blog. Let it be I see mostly the Hollywood movies they always has a subject and they stick to it. while watching the movie you become the part of it or could feel the essence of it.

Movies are like field guide, we say that just go for the movies for fun but in-turn we always learn something new from it. Be it be friendship, respect, adventure or Fantasies. I enjoyed movies just for fun or time pass but over the years they taught me a lot. I think everyone has but they don't realize it.

Lets start from my favorite movies.

Leave the Past Behind (Time Machine) - Not many have seen this movies but this movie has very important situation in the heroes life. His girl friend dies of unfortunate incident and he tries to go back to past and change it but for his amusement he couldn't. Message he gets is whatever in the past u couldn't change it so move on to the future. In this movie it was moving l

Finding the right talent (School of Rock) - This movies was about a guy who is a lead guitarist in his own band. He gets thrown out his band. Then he somehow got into the school as a teach for 11-12 years old children. Beauty of this movies was how he found out the true talent of the children, give them the courage to do well.

Friends are for all season (DCH) - I think this movie has taught my generation the true meaning of a friend and what we should not do to break a friendship. Sometimes we do silly mistakes to break a friendship but in bad times only friend comes for help and no one else.

Great struggles (Pursuit of happiness) - Never seen a heart wrecking movie. A struggling salesman takes custody of his son as he's poised to begin a life-changing professional endeavor. It is the story of a father who goes for lot of pain for a moment of happiness and when he reach there he finds that all the pain was well worth it.

Believe in God (Evan Almighty) - Apart from the all the hilarious situation it has, it gave a very simple message. It emphasizes on the importance of the god in our lives and how humble we should be. The message was 'Its not we who achieves something but we should be thankful to the god who gave us the opportunity to do so'. Even though I am not a very traditional guy but this message we always should remember in our lives.

GandhigirI in modern times (Lage raho Munnabhai) - Story of the modern day Gandhian who tries to follow the true principal of Gandhi. This movies told us how relevant can be the principles of the GandhI in this modern age. I think it was a very good reminder for all of us that what difference we can make in this society if we follow simple principals of Gandhi.

Family comes first (KabhI KhushI KabhI Gam) - I don’t like these typical Bollywood movies and all that rona dhona. but the real message I got from the movies that 'Even though how much father loves his children he dont express it' very important message in our age or in our society where there are incidences of old age home, beating. Don’t want to talk about it but…



Struggle for Existence (Avatar) - Movie based on the struggle of indigenous people where they fight for their own land. Brutality of humans on the others land captured very well, in India we hear this every day this struggle for land which has given birth to the nuxalism. May be we learn from it and start doing the right thing without disturbing the original people of the land.

Complex World (Matrix) - I had to see this movie trice to fully understand. Movie was related the complexity of the world and how humans are woven into the daily life that he fails to understand the actually reality which is quiet different that he thinks. Loosely based on the Hindu mythological concept of Maya, excellent take on the complex issues of once thinking.

Great powers comes with great responsibilities (Spiderman) - Apart from the great special effects this movie gave the very important message that when one gets the power he or she has some responsibilities as well so taking care of both is the right approach.

This is my take on the movies, I learned a lot that’s for sure. You tell me your experiences where you behave in certain ways and later on you thought that how did u do that? may be some where u have seen that..

Monsoon - Dance of the rain..

9:28 PM Posted by iSachin No comments
Record breaking rains has been the feature of these monsoons but does it man made disaster or is mother nature showing the true place of humans. This monsoon has been worse in some places especially pakistan.

First specially here in Pune we had 1 month drought then when local government was about to declare it as drought affected area it started raining and didn't stop for full 1 month. It is still raining in the north of india and it is in grave danger of being flooded like in Pakistan.



I am amazed by the rains, how immaculately all the ingredients of the nature come together and do the magic called monsoon. over the years everything is going so well planned that not greatest of the managers can do that.

We as Indians are so blased by this gift that we in cities specially never care about it. We only concerned about the percentages of water in the dams and nothing else. It is time when the earth after burning for months gets the time to rest re-energized and ready for quenching the thirst of its true son the farmer.

I once was in my farm with my grandfather. It was very cloudy, there was a big dark cloud hovering over our head. As per my experience which i got by living in most rained place like thane I said it should start rain in few minutes. But he said something which i wasn't expecting, his sentences were '(Wind is too strong to rain)'. I thought age has caught him but to my amusement it didn't and in few minutes all the cloud were gone and we had clear sky.

By above incidence i want to tell the strong bonding and knowledge of the people in the villages have with nature which we could not have. We are concerned with the doing a 'All wet trip' and thats it. We never realize that monsoon is truly a gift from gods nearly 30 crores of them to us but we never cherish them.

My main concern is may be our future generation may not be able to experienc this thanks to the Climate change. We have to do something to make sure that this magic contiues for hundreds of years to come.
