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.

[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
