All in the name of a fair trial!!!!!

I am quite disturbed to see how Ajmal Qasab, a terrorist caught alive at the scene of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks is making the mockery of our judicial system. Apparently the gentleman now needs a flavoured toothpaste, perfume, newspaper and money. Call it the guts or his confidence in our judicial system.
I wonder why we are so hell bent on providing Qasab a fair trial - what do we want to show the world???

He should have been shot on the spot - well i would say it is not too late now either

Nothing to blog :(

DAMN THE BLORE TRAFFIC!!!!!!!!!!!

Dilli 6 - Music

Zareee zarree mein usi ka noor hai
Jhak khud mein woh na tujhse door hai
Ishq hai usse to sab se ishq kar
Ishq hai usse,
To sab se ishq kar
Is ibadat ka Yehi dastoor hai

Is mein us mein aur us mein hai wohi
Is mein us mein aur us mein hai wohi

Yaar mera Har taraf bharpur hai ..

Diplomacy at its best ?

I was appalled by reading this article. It seems India is now begging to the world not to sell arms to Pakistan. Is this the so called "diplomatic offensive" taken up by the Govt of India???

I fail to understand why we are hesitating to stamp our authority on the World. More shocking is the fact that we are pleading to countries like Ukraine and Germany!!!! Why dont we just declare that anybody who deals with Pakistan is not welcome in India anymore - no deals, no FDI, no more subsidies etc
In the current economic scenario the world needs India more than India needing the world...
Remember Germany is hoping that its sluggish auto sales would be offset by good sales in India n China, whats the point in pleading them? just say You can either have your cars in India or your submarines in Pakistan!
And as far as Ukraine is considered, it is already under a lot of stress from Russia for the gas pipelines, well we can always ask our good old friend to strike a better deal for us.

It is a well known fact that the world would choose India over Pakistan anyday.. so why not do it now

Ain't Nobody like my Desigirl :(

whoz the hottest girl in the world.

But the million dollar question is Who is the Desi Girl? Keep guessing!!!

Live repoting!! - Banned??

"Several foreign nationals are trapped in the Taj Hotel Mahal"

"The top management of a multinational corporation was meeting…"

"Terrorists are suspected to be on the 9th floor…"

"NSG troops are about to have arrived in Mumbai…"

"NSG commandos have entered the Hotel…"

The above is just some of the information telecast live by all news channels on last week's terror attack on Bombay.

News channels have an objective—to fetch the latest news and share them with viewers, much before a competitor channel does that. But I feel this habit of indiscriminate live reporting, while a combat operation is in progress, can be catastrophic for the success of the military operations against terror.

Let us just think for a while. Do we really need to know everything on a ‘as soon as it happens’ basis? I feel not. Whether NSG commandos have just arrived at airport, or have entered the hotel or are on the first floor or second at this moment, is not necessary to be revealed to the general public on a realtime basis.

Showing such news live, will be immensely useful only to terrorists and their supporters outside.

Consider this. The commandos only know that the militants are somewhere inside the hotel, but the militants know everything about the movements and positions of their pursuers through TV.

Like:

• Who is on their trail (Army/ NSG/ local police, etc)
• What is their ETA (estimated time of arrival), which tells them, how much time they have before a gun battle would begin)
• Where they are right now, at the main entrance/ just entered their floor
• How is the world responding? Is there pressure mounting on the government to succumb to the demands of terrorists to get the hostages freed (so that they can act tough during negotiation)?
• How many of their friends are alive or dead (so that they can assess their strength)?
• What has been the impact of their strike-how many police and civilian dead, the current morale of police, who all as been detained/suspected?
• Live visuals of the street-to assess a possible escape strategy
• What information about them the outside world has (which floor they are in, their head count etc. And much more…

In my view, all this information, while useful to viewers and relatives of victims, also helps the terrorists/ militants to consolidate their position and pose a greater challenge to commandos trying to hunt them down and/ or rescue the hostages.

Why is our media helping them by airing live all the sensitive information about the anti terror operations?

The common man does not need to know them on a live basis.

Can’t the information & broadcasting ministry think of banning live reporting during a hostage crisis? Let the channels air the news with a delay of few hours, so that the police and security agencies will have a lead time of few hours, wherein terrorists would be as equally uninformed as they are.

Please note that I am not advocating censorship. I am all for free speech and expression. What I am proposing, is that security agencies should have the power to impose a delay of say three to six hours w.r.t live reporting of anti-terror operations.

Let the TV channels record whatever they want, but they should be aired only after a gap of few hours. I do not think anyone loses anything with this.

The movie A Wednesday also shares same opinion.I feel the good old days of once in a day news bulletin was far better.

What do you think?

I can see me loving nobody but you, for all my life

Have you been confused before, been depressed and angry at the same time? Your feelings for her, did it ever fade away. Have you seen yourself and her parting ways and walking away from each other? Have you even walked in those lonely roads, longing to be able to hold her again?

People speak less about their love when it is going good, but they speak so many things to so many people at once when it is going bad. Speaking at a really basic idiotic laymen terms, that is.

But you, I can see me loving nobody but you, for all my life.

So happy together…

Socha hai??

In the recent past,there's one song that's just blown me away..yup,a hindi song:).

Asama hai neela kyun.paani geela geela kyun
Gol kyun hai zameen?
Silk mein narmee kyun.aag me hai gaarmi kyun
do aur do paanch kyun nahin?
Ped ho gaye kam kyun.teen hai yeh mausam kyun
Chand do kyun nahin?
Duniya mein hai jang kyun,behti laal rang kyun
sarhadain hai kyun har kahin?
socha hai...
yeh kya kabhi
socha hai..
yeh hai kya sabhi
socha hai...
socha nahin,toh socho abhi..

**hats off to javed akhtar**
Probably these lyrics don't make literal sense..but,i just love the honesty of the lyrics.These lyrics make me think about the greatest gift given to man(which he rarely uses), thinking and ability to question..Children make the most use of their brain,because they question,the curiosity within them makes them question,even if it is as naive as "why don't i have a third ear?".But as man grows older,he loses his ability to question,he ignores it.He just flies through life,not bothering to stand,analyse and question,because it's just a waste of time.He wants to get on with his life,wakes up every morning,finishes his job,runs back home.He wouldn't dare to question "why doesn't the goverment do anything about the bihar floods?",because it's not related to him,its not his job.
I cannot generalize,but i can say,the greater proportion of the people fail to question.If it has been a long time since you questioned,look at the mirror now,and ask yourself"Where do i stand?","What do i look forward to everyday?"..you will discover a lot.

No Gmail in Germany!

Whether you know or not!!!

A recent movie's tagline says " When do you know it's love? ". Good question!!! Because I really wanna know when we know its love... After the other person gives the nod to our proposal?

Some of the cliches that would trace their source to mostly Bollywood would be
1) Sleepless Nights
2) Sudden attraction towards romantic movies and songs - esp DDLJ types!
3) Singing those songs or breaking out into a dance in the middle of the street
4) Day Dreaming and increased absent mindedness

These are some that I can think of right now. The rest is for you to answer. When do I know its love? When exactly???
