Fans In Action

Fans in Action 


Everybody watch films. But everyone is not film-crazy. I have a group of friends who give up anything to watch their favorite hero in action. They settle for none other than a show on the first day of the film’s release. I wonder what makes them so crazy about films. They are meant to be stress busters. Aren’t they?? But for few hard core fans, they are something more than stress busters. They are more than a time pass. Watching films is their passion and that is the reason they were born. This may sound very silly to you. Even I felt the same when I too heard about it. But the craziness of the fan can be witnessed during the release a film, during their hero’s marriage or when their hero passes away. You can see fans pouring milk over the cutout of their hero during the film release. Fans expose the vandals hidden in them when their favorite passes away. Buses burnt, glass facades stoned, roads blocked and to name a few atrocities. Few fans even try to immolate themselves. I was really surprised by their attitude. 


When a scientist who contributes a lot to the nation passes away, nobody bothers to take a note of it. But when a film star who burnt a hole in the pocket of the masses dies, people go berserk.
I tried asking a fan the reason behind their madness. He just replied “that star is a member of my family”. I couldn’t argue with that fan. I was left in amusement. People tent to imitate the actions of their star in every way [minus the good deeds he does]. They think that it is an achievement. Of course, it is not easy to mimic someone!!....
But I’d appreciate their generosity. They don’t mind spending all their hard earned money on watching films. But I accept that I need to become a psychologist to understand the psyche of the crazy fans. All my investigations left me bewildered. I can learn the science of film making but I guess I can never learn the reason behind a fan’s madness!!

Spirituality vs Atheism

People practice various religions. Let it be Hinduism,Christianity,Islam or Judaism,all of them believe in god. Though their way of worship is different and their ideologies differ they all surrender to the supreme. But there is always an exception in everything. Here the exception is a set of non believers called atheists. They also criticise various practices followed by the believers. Though most of them are invisible,some of them dare to insult the believers for their own gain. But frankly speaking,atheism can be dubbed as an experience. I don't remember many people born as an atheist.its generally a single generation phenomenon. It is ironical to find that some of the atheist's children are staunch believers in god. They ensure that they do everything that their father had bullied about.But there is an atheist in many of us. But its not dominant. Even if it may be dominant over faith for a small period of time,its fades away as the position of that person returns to normal. Remember the time when you were in desperate need of help. The time of sufferings when your prayer fell on deaf ears,many of us would have told that there exist none called god,if he was really existed he would have helped us and he will never go soft on politicians who cheat crores of people and live without problems. But when we get adequate attention and our mental position returns to normal we tend to change the statement by saying that politicians will be punished in hell or their time will come soon if not now. But few people who never recover from that position will forever remain an atheist and others' indisputable faith in the almighty would fuel their atheism. But many of today's atheist are believers in god and they keep their atheism tag for political gain... According to me atheism is a personal feeling and they must not try to spread it to others. The best example for people who practice atheism for political gains may be periyar who earned the wrath of the believers when he garlanded many idols with slippers which can be called as atrocity. He had no rights to do such a thing in this world of believers. If he was an atheist he must be content with his belief and can speak anything inside his circle but cannot take it to the streets. His name itself had the word Rama and swami[meaning :god]... But he earned lot of fame for his atrocities.... But for now we say,god will look after those ppl when their time comes!!but all we know is their image from outside. Who knows?such extremists could also be a believes inside. But few people will mistake between superstition and faith. But now must understand that all the believes don't indulge in superstition. There is no reliable definition for superstition.Because what you may consider as superstition may sound practical for me and viceversa. The most volatile subject in this world is faith. Just few words against a faith may evoke several generation to spill blood. That's what happening in this world...............

We The "Cattle class!!"


We the cattle class............

"When it comes to buying tickets at Chinnaswami stadium, even businessmen must stand with the holy cows.
But mayor and co wants to increase the co 2 in the atmosphere!!"


We still remember shashi's comments about cattle class. Of course ministers like him traveled in airways with the tax money paid by the cowboys and of course the money comes from the holy cows.remember i told ministers like shashi. I did not mention shashi and now he cant debate with me;). Maybe i will have to introduce a paradox like Shakespeare after every sentence. Are you wondering why i am talking about this episode in the topic about time Bangalore ticket fiasco? Yeah,there are connections between these two. The same cattle class were beaten black and blue but excuse me if the rich were among the laticharged. I read in the newspaper that senior businessmen and ppl working with mnc's have also suffered the same fate but still i prefer to call them cattle class:). Because the ordeal they went through were actually characteristic of the cattle class.but i wont say that those business men were laticharged because the policemen told those waiting in the queue that they would provide the tickets if they paid five times the amount for which the tickets are being sold. Will they miss this golden opportunity to make some fast bucks?if no,then even those businessmen wont miss this golden opportunity to buy tickets without wasting their time by standing in the queue. Remember these ppl avoid the cheaper products available at places like bigbazar to settle for a costlier price tag at the retail shops just for the personalized attention they get and to avoid being treated like servants. But the main point i wanted to raise here is about thousands of ticket reserved for the mayor and his big family of corporators. Last time i saw the corporator of my area was during the elections. He even gave his number which became out of reach after he won the election. I did not even see that guy pass by my lane which is a main link road between two prime commercial areas. Almost thousands of ppl pass by this road everyday and we have seen hundreds of minor accidents and these wont bother the corporator who can be seen smoking near a bakery few kilometers away from my house. If you see that chap there,you wont feel like calling him a corporator.you would rather call him a cable boy!!....And i wonder what these ppl will do for five years without even visiting their constituency. If he is a chief minister,i can understand that he will be too busy but what for a corporator to visit his area??but the mayor of bangalore is threatening anil kumble that if they are not given free passes, they would impose tax on Karnataka Cricket Association[KCA]. Then cant we call this as bribery?? Bribing mayor with passes to avoid taxes??if we let small children watch Cricket match,it would inspire them but if we let politicians watch it only the CO 2 content in the atmosphere will increase. What did they achieve to get free passes? What rights do they have to demand free passes? By the way are they not cheating public by not collecting taxes from the rich cricket bodies to feed the poor?they just lack ethics.........
but just before i finished this note, corporators, this time have demanded 700 passes and tickets this time for India vs Ireland cricket match at Bangalore!! So Indians!! don't bother if the finals don't happen at your place. because you cant watch it anyway....lets go back to our TV sets and if you cant i will be glad to gift you a tub of fevicol to glue yourself yo yout TV set!!....

Mentality Decides!!



Mentality Decides!!............





India will become a superpower very soon but it will take many decades to become a fully developed country. Its because the country doesn't need any strict policies or laws but a change in the mentality of the people. For everything from corruption to inefficiency,only the people are to be blamed. Most of the Indians are trained to work well only under a able supervisor. Due to the lack of an honest supervisor,the politicians are just swimming in the people's money. Till now i used to think that we must bring forth the problems in our government to the people so that the people will know the truth and they would vote for a different person so that our country would become a developed one. But recently after reading the comments in tv and newspaper,i understood that the people are well aware of all there problems but they lack patriotism.They lack a proper vision. Everyone wants to come up by pushing others down.people are only interested in their personal welfare and no one wishes good for the country.i feel ashamed that people still vote for the corrupt just because they are from their own cast!! If they want to be punished by a politician of their own cast,let them but why punish others by voting for them??i have discussed in my previous posts and in various editorials that the meaning of secular has been misunderstood by everyone. Just go to America or Australia.just see the way the people care for their country!! But i wont completely blame the people alone. We need a change in the mentality of the people.they need good primary and secondary education which consists of moral values. But this wont materialize until we have good teachers. When the teacher himself doesn't respect the students,will the students respect their juniors?? It depends upon the way their parents had brought them up. But you can find children of nri's who don't even know the local language speaking the dirty local slang??how is this possible? The busy nri's leave their kids at the local day care center. They children are exposed to the day care center's teachers and students more than their own parents. This is the age when the clay is still wet and flexible. Because of incompetent teachers and children who hail from various family background,the kids of nri's too get spoiled and end up using the foul words on their own parents. In India everything would be set alright if the parents take initiative to educate their wards morally rather than sending their primary kids to iit training. Moral education in school is almost useless as it is not given much importance. It is taken by a new teacher or a trainee.it doesn't carry marks. It gives you a grade. No kid is interested in grades. They only show interest in increasing their marks. Good schools are the need of the hour and the classmates must be reformed. 
Regarding the recent news of various scams, the people will definitely rethink their choice of politicians but that would not make a huge impact. for example lets take TN. Though the whole country is aware of its chief minister's ill deeds, he is busy with 'save Raja' campaign. when CBI raided his television company, DMK workers were protesting the raids. tomorrow don't be surprised if people start protesting the arrest of thieves. of course even the politicians are thieves with political backing. I heard that CBI warned these chaps hours before the raids so that they can keep their documents safely. the opposition was correct in saying that these raids are mere eye-wash. Many days back i heard in a TV channel that all the documents relating to 2g scam were burnt in a hill station town in TN. well, these things will make only the educated class of people think. only the educated people will condemn these kind of things. but i would not be surprised if the same DMK comes back to power. they have promised more color tv's and other welfare schemes. i don't understand why those schemes, free houses etc must carry the image of their chief minister!! after all its the people's money!! people are not interested in the general welfare of the state and the country. they only see what they benefit from those elections and they fail to understand that they are digging their own grave. of they wish to do that, we cant help. we can only wait for the next generation to realize what the current generation fail to do. by the way, just imagine the amount of money the politicians would have eaten in the free tv scheme!! and the free houses program!!..... political critic Mr.Cho had said that the TN government is eating a lot of money from its populist schemes!!..... they have a scheme which covers all the health expenses of the poor and the government is faking records to benefit from these schemes!! the congress party has swindled more than 50,000 crore form the north east frontier!!... do you think the congress high command did not know anything about cwg scam or the 2g scam until the news channels told about it??..... i think they would have been given their share to keep quite.... its difficult to say whether the ministers gave the part its share or the party gave the ministers their share!!.... i am not saying anything new.... everyone know this but no one can do anything.... due to the 'lack of evidence'.... but i am happy that, at least the almighty will act on these culprits irrespective of what the supreme count would rule!! and punish them in the right way. when we cant hope anything from our people or the law and order system of the country, we have to maintain hope only in the almighty!!......

India deserves Democracy!!



India deserves democracy!! For the namesake, india is the largest democracy!!but in practice its dictatorship under democracy in india. Sounds strange?it may...but thats the truth. People are covered with a blanket that prevents them from accessing truth. With the help of various agencies and media,you can bring out the truth but the powerful will ensure that you wont live long.whats more??even police would help them!! If you really want to argue that india is a democracy then just go and bring out the dirty truth about your local politician and you would have it from them.powerful organizations like cbi is controlled by the ruling government. They can change the script!! Just imagine that there is a thief roaming in your area and If you keep giving him a clue that the police are going to catch him,wont he go and hide somewhere?? the same way,even after the news channels brought out the matter of 2g scam it took more than a year for the government to take real action on the culprits.by this time, the scamsters would be smart enough to clear all the evidences. Democracy means 'by the people,of the people and for the people' but here its not a government 'by the people' and 'of the people'.people are treated like humans only before the elections.and the common man does not interfere in the government matters. It cannot become the government 'for the people'as its a government for the rich and the powerful. government is still protecting the people who have swiss bank accounts.our government lies that the accounts are inaccessible but the truth is they are very much accessible.even the swiss authorities have said that they are co operating with our government.but the govt is not interested in getting the money back. As mr.cho and mr.gurumurthy said in a program,there are bank accounts in the name of sonia gandhi,rahul gandhi and that even rajiv had one. Its also clear that all the politicians would be having an account. When they themselves have accounts,will they reveal it?will they dig their own grave?i don't think they would do that.Indians have about 1.3 trillion dollars in swiss banks. This money can make India better that USA in both defense and infrastructure but the power people have in usa cannot be dreamt of in india until and unless the politicians stop behaving like feudal lords. Most of the murders are committed by politicians for their own gains and they are the biggest robbers and its an old news for us. Anyway all their sins are forgotten if they give you free TV's or waive farmers' loans. Maybe farmers dare to commit suicide, But educated middle class people who face harassment from money lenders and banks for the repayment of loans are matured enough to chose suffering over suicide. Because they know that even if they commit suicide,the govt wont do anything for them and with their family losing the sole breadwinner they are bound to increase their sufferings. The middle class is the most affected lot in India. I hope things change for the silenced lot in India. The main reason for India's 'developing county' status is democracy. Because, only the loopholes in democracy are put to use in India. If India had been ruled by a strong willed person like SC Bose or any revolutionary for whom nation was above everything, India would have attained superpower long back. I can call it as inefficient implementation of democracy. But thanks to press power, we are reclaiming democratic ideals but beware of paid news!!

Politically Incorrect 3

Educated politicians are more dangerous than uneducated politicians as they know how to cheat the educated class without being caught. What they need is moral education along with their formal education.

They tend to misuse their educational qualifications and intelligence. Moral education must be made to criteria for the candidature of all the politicians.
