Am I a pessimist.


Yesterday before going to bed I tweeted that I am going to bed with sinking heart, yes yesterday the media revealed more and more pathetic conditions of the CWG games village. I woke today and the first think I prayed to Almighty for no more mishaps and no more collapse. I don't know why we consider this CWG as a pride of nation.
Any how today when I watched the news I could see a stray of hope , some promising news are coming from here and there despite several atheletes pull off. I learned from media that now the Delhi Govt is the boss of the game and the "icon of national shame" Suresh Kalmadi is no more in the picture. Any how if things are turning towards a right direction then that is a sigh of relief. Well some thing we have to figure out or learn from all these mess, what is that made us to run into such a scenario and how can we further avoid?
I think there is a fundamental mistake within us, hope you will remember that we have done our homework properly in school fearing cane lashes from our class teacher. We take the breakfast in the morning fearing mom's bashes. We struggle to pass our exams fearing our parents.Our sytem made us to do things and go forward if only someone is there to drive us. Our education system itself groom u sin such a way.Is that what happened with our CWG organizers , when the world humiliated and bashed us then we suddenly threw away our ususal blame gmae and started making thing correct. Does this means we are not capapble of taking challenges and responsibilities. What was visible througout this shameful drama that nobody was willing to shoulder responsilbilty and no one was willing to accomplish or finalize a task. We were able to see blame games all over. I even felt that I am seeing a kindergarden kids fighting each other wearing dhotis and beards.How immature we are. Whatever it is, all this send a mixed sinal to the world about Indians and this is going to have an impact in various other fileds of developement also.
The world media including our own Indian media are showing the pictures of pan stained bathrooms and corridors repeateldy. I remember an incident hiring few labors for a project for a posch client. I saw one of the worker saying to other one " Yar we will never have in our life a chance to use these type of furniture so let us sit for while in that couch and relax". I didn't stopped them at the time but the repeated pctures seen in the media reminds me of that incident . Those were the frustration of the underpaid labourers who were brought in to do the job. Definitely many of these fiascos could have been avoided if the project were handled by professionals in each and every field.
Definitely then there comes a question , so these works were not awarded to the professional people?. I would site another incident as an answer to the above question.
The game Anthem was composed by Indian Mozart A.R Rahman and did not brought any sensation and even drew wide criticism, eventually Rahman tweaked the song and now it was admired by everybody. Do we say that this is a flaw from Rahman, I will say definitely no. Then what, look, I heard both versions of the song and both were fantastic. The traditional way of relaesing an album is to release along with video which was over looked in the first release and now the tweaked version is relaesed along with the video. When ' Bhala' the one who produced this video was asked why it was not released with the previous release he conviniently avoided that question for not to embarass the CWG anymore. Besides who are these ministers and politicians to judge the quality of the song, what knowledge they have about music.
I am so sad that when many of us compare this song with 'Waka Waka". You can see the rich video and amazing dancing sequence of Waka Waka , unfortunately our poor Rahman is not so sexy as Shakira to do all those moves. Let us forget the face and killer hip of Shakira and enjoy "Bulao Ye India".
Finally I just saw in the TV that Mr.Fennel who is in India to assess the Games village condition was taken a guided tour by Suresh Kalmadi, again we are doing mistakes.
I am frustrated to see the 'chaltha hai' attitude of our public, for God's sake wake up, this huge amount spent on this games is your money . Dear fellow Indians please note that each and every paisa spend in this country by the Gvernment is your money and not someone elses so wake up and express your concern in a peaceful way. Stay tuned to watch the world's most expensive hot air balloon , 87 crore Rupees.

Meaning

A friend of mine often raises a question about meaning of life. The subject has become a regular topic of discussion between us. The friend is quite influenced by motivational speaker like Ekhart, Bop Proctor etc. I am always surprised why we should complicate things by finding meaning of life "let us live the life meaningfully".
I still remember my 8th Standard bilology teacher with huge specs and frowning eyes who explained me the life cycle, the flow of energy. Thanks to my friend who helped me in remembering that great school and teacher.
Imagine a football match between two contradictory teams, (poor and rich, good and bad,vice and virtue etc) with a goal post at infinity. None of the players can see the goal post, but still hopeful of kicking a goal. Eventually what every player do is pass the ball to others and will always try to pass to the same group. When we pass the ball to the opposite team a turning point in your life happens whether good or bad. All depends upon to whom you pass but most of the time you will not be able to pass the ball to the intended.
We have to live keep passing the ball to the sake of a better world. No one can say they shot a goal, may be one can claim but no one is there to go and confirm because it is infinity. This is life why should we ponder over the meaning let us make our lives meaningfull .

Cancer

It had been a quite while I didn't appeared here. My mom passed away , I am an orphan now even though I live with my two kids and loving wife. No one can give us a mother's love and affection. Thirteen years of expatriate life in Saudi Arabia and a total of eight months stay back in home during these years in the name of vaccation. Now I feel how much I miss my mom.
A self appraisal am I running behind money all these years?, definitely no. Then what made me stay all these years still struggling to find an answer, may be survival.

A devastating phone call from home which changed my life and still changing , " mom has been diagnoised fro cancer". Oh my God, I knew what is going to happen in a stage three Intestinal Cancer. An awakening sign from God to inform me to love her and provide her all the care she needs.
Rushed the very next day to India, thanks to my Boss fro letting me go, may be the Eight years bond between me and him helped. Facing my mom after knowing what she is going through was really tough. But I behaved like a tough guy, hugged my mom with a fake plastered smile on myface and a bursting heart. It was hard to controll the tears but as none of us told my mom what she was going through, I have to controll my self.

I started to look desperately for any alternative medicine which can give some comfort for her. Search engines, word of mouth for alternative medicines I tried everything. I read a lot about famous people who are living with Cancer like Steve Jobs of Apple. A common feature among these famous people is that all of them diagnoized this at the early stage. Only we common people diagnoize this when it is in stage three or four where there is no hope.
During this one month period I found that this is like a common disease and I was surprised why the medical community is not giving such priority for Cancer like HIV etc. The modern world medicine is doing wonders but why there is little progress in this Cancer research.

In desperate search for treatement I was refered to a specialist who suggested to insert a stunt into the intestine so that will fascilitate the intake of the food. I discussed with the doctor and he assured me that he can gurantee at least for an year without any complications, those words were like God's own words. The surgery was succesfull ,third day she passed away.

" Mom I don't know what went wrong and where, this is the world . But I loved you so much mom"

Amitab Bachan Hats off to you!.

Dear Mr. Amitab Bachan



You have once again proved that your are BIG B. You showed the world how concern you are about your fellow citizens by declining an honorary Doctorship from Melbourne.The media is full of coverage of racial attacks and discrminations against Indian Students in Australia and in UK. I was moved by seeing the footages published by the media . Very happy and proud to hear how quicly our Government intervened and Prime Minister himself expressed his concern over this issue.

I need to say something about myself this time , I am working in Saudi Arabia for the past 12 years. Have ever any media showed it's concern or any leaders including the Indian Embassy let the world know how the Indians being discriminated here.
One would feel the descrimination once when they land at Riyadh Airport. The Immigration officials will drag you here and there and treat you like filthy creatures. Even a famous news paer , Arab News, cloumnist Lubna Hussain wrote about this ill treatement at Airport. Well forget about this, in work places Indians and Asians except Filipinos are treated so badly compared to their Arab Counterparts. There is discrimination in Salary and benefits and even positions, above all abused and ill treated. Maybe very few Indians might be enjoying the wrath of the management just because of their positions but majority of them are either clerks or labours who always are under attack.
Physical assault on Indians and Asians are common here by Arabs which are rarely commented or notified local media or authorities. The Indian Embassy which is well aware of these types of assaults never ever bothered to take any action. Above all the victim will never report this fear of losing job or other complications by the law. Almost all government agencies for any dispute will ask your sponsor to accompany you which is practically impossible in Saudi Arabia. Arabs' rarely do care about Indians issue they don't want to go to police station or court for the sake of his employ. Incidents are there that even the victims are threatened to be send back home if they proceed with any cases.
My request is to Indian media and Mr,Amitab Bachan is, please consider, that we people who being major share of foreing currency inflow to India , are Indians and we too have problems. We face racial discrimination and assault like other fellow Indians in Australia and UK, but our cases are always downplayed . Are we not Indians don't we have right to raise our concerns. Will BIG B write something about us in his blog.

Regards
A poor soul from Saudi Arabia

Arab World Reactions!.









Israel stopped its slaughter and massacre after successfully accomplishing it's task.Arab Leaders' Economic summit in Kuwait held pompously. Countries were announcing in a haste packages to rebuild GAZA, well, all is right but something intrigued me, why not they drafted a plan to find a solution for this issue. I strongly believe that these leaders should held moral responsibility for this disaster.
Arab Leaders' said that Israel should never think again Arab world will let open the doors for peace forever. The leaders slammed Israel for it's brutality but had been been very careful not to mention United States for supporting this brutality and sponsoring Israel for their terrorist actions.Does this send some message to us?.
So the Arab leaders said they can't remain like this in future if Palestinians being attacked, a quick question, if so why they remained unable to defend themselves and defend their brethren all these years?. Total damage has been done to the nation quite a billion Dollars alone will not be enough to rebuild the nation. the world should assure them that they have the right to live their life, which were deprived from time to time by Israel.
Egyptian president has been applauded by Arab Leaders for his effort to bring the cease fire. If someone closely observed the happenings during this onslaught it would be evident the cease fire was not because of Egypt's initiative and as a matter of fact Egypt didn't do much for this. Israels themselves felt that they have achieved what they want and they stopped.
If you were able to put the pieces together please be noted that Egypt and Jordan are the Countries which receives large amount aid from US for having diplomatic relation ship with Israel.
Another interesting piece of information overheard is that Saudi Arabia did send 32 Ambulances to Egypt to be shipped to GAZA were found missing in Egypt. What an effort done by this country to achieve a ceasefire!.

Self Pride ....is it necessary now.


I had a chat with my friend while we are driving back home. The day took it's toll after a whole days hard work and I am drained off energy. We were just discussing the GAZA assault and Israels intentions.I always enjoy to discuss these type of issues with this friend because he is a wonderful guy who learned Quran very well and understands it very well too, above he is man without any prejudicy. My friend was of opinion that Israel is terrified by Palestinians determination and strength. That is why they conducted such a massive attack on GAZA.
I have some difficulty in accepting his views. Look, before saying anything I have to mention here that Israel President mentioned in Kenest that "Palestinians are beasts walking on two foot". What more do we have to expect from Israeli's beyond this.? Why should we look into Israel's mindset and emotional feeling when a total damage to Palestinians is being done. Whether they attack out of fear or fury the damage is done. Here we should never be proud or should never convince ourselves " Oh we are strong enough that is why they attack us so brutally just for the sake of sending some hand made rockets". We should be clear of this mindset. I am of the opinion that when an attack is being made against me I should never sit and judge why the attack is being , I should defend it first and survive for the later.
According to me Israel is a powerful sales man of America in the middle east. They sell atrocities , massacre and chaos. America need a check point in Oil rich Arab countries and successfully a gangster state Israel has been installed . America had given a target for Israel to kill a particular amount Muslims in a certain period of time and this powerful efficient sales man (Israel) achieves it's targets perfectly. I request readers to link this war to the previous ones. We should not isolate GAZA incident.
Do you ever think that some countries tried hard and achieved this truce?. If you think so you too are under the trance of Jewish dominated FOX News and CNN media. Jews had built this media empire to sell their propaganda and to deceive the world about their atrocities. So Israel has achieved it's target and winded up. That is it , not a single Arab leader or UN can boast of intervening and stopping this and no one can do either.
My only concern is why the public are not trying to know the truth and if after knowing why they are not questioning their leaders. This is obviously not possible in Gulf countries but the so called Civilized nation, what are you doing why you aren't able wake up against this.

You did it! Mr.Bush





Last two days news papers were carrying news about Bush's confession about his grave mistakes. Surprisingly medias gave only little coverage for such an important news about a man's admittance of serious crimes he has done to the humanity in different parts of the world. Will the world try this man for his mistakes who himself admitted or is he and his race are above the law.
It comes to mind that int world the most powerful weapon is media which are mostly in the hands of developed nation. The world believe the lies told by them, they are so powerful that they could make a true to lie and lie to true.
So here comes a question how true is a true?.When Bush admits his failures and mistakes in Iraq what stand should the countries which directly and indirectly supported this invasion is going take?. How they are going to give an explanation to their people?. How the Arab countries who unilaterally supported an Anglo American invasion on Iraq, is going to convince their public?. It is ok for Bush because after January 20 he is nobody other than a normal American, but that is not the case for Arab leaders who are going to be the rulers of their respective countries till their death.
Any how media had carefully downplayed the speech of Mr.Butcher...sorry Mr.Bush. Ok, now Bush has confessed his mistakes and his Intelligence departments false finding of Iraq's mass destruction weapon. Now what the International court of Justice or UN is going to do when a Country or it leader just because of his mistake destroyed an entire country and massacred hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Will he or his country be brought to justice in order to avoid future mistakes from this country?.
If the so called International community is really willing to bring justice to the world then this country and this man has to be tried before justice. I am definitely sure that CIA is again going to 'find' nuclear weapons in IRAN and Mr.Obama is going to take military action on IRAN. After four years in office he will announce in a press meet that "we are unable to find any Weapons so far but we were able to eliminate all radical Islamist groups from the soil of Iran. Some mistake had happened but we ensured that our Country is safe and free from threats". This mistake would again have been taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
I am always wondering why American people cannot realize these and why they are not reacting to their Government. Despite being the most FREE country in the world American public are not allowed to think freely. They are intoxicated with bias news and tranquilized with the Jewish influence mind control method. This is being achieved through all types of mass media and entertainment industry. American's are deprived of free thought they are taught and trained to think in way how a few want. Those few are whom? Does the world knows or they just pretend as they don't know?. I am pretty sure every one knows that, they are none other than JEWS.
I am not a fanatic or a racist, I am a Human Being. I hate Hitler for his atrocities he committed to the JEWS but his words now seems to be true" JEWS and PEACE cannot co exist".
Will Bush ever in his life think for a few second as a normal human being and will he ever repent truly for the atrocities he had done next to Adolf Hitler?
