ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಯ್ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಅಂತ ಒಂದು ಪತ್ರಿಕೆ ಇದೆ. ಅದರ ಸಾರಥಿ ಹೆಸರು ರವಿ ಬೆಳಗೆರೆ ಅಂತ. ಓಳ್ಳೆಯ ಗೌರವ ಇದೆ. ಆದರೂ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ತಕ್ಕಂತೆ ಒಮ್ಮೊಮ್ಮೆ ಬರೆಯುವುದಿಲ್ಲವಾದ್ದರಿಂದ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಯಾರೂ ಅಷ್ಟಾಗಿ ಸೀರಿಯಸ್ ಆಗಿ ಒದಿದ್ದನ್ನು ಕಾಣೆ. ಬರವಣಿಗೆ ನೋಡಿದರೆ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆ ಮಾರುಕಟ್ಟೆಗೆ ಬಂದ ಮರುಕ್ಷಣವೇ ರಾಜ್ಯವೇ ಬದಲಾಗಿಬಡುವುದೋ ಎಂಬಂತಿದ್ದರೂ ಸೊಂಟದ ಕೆಳಗಿನ ಭಾಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಉಗಿಸಿಕೊಂಡವರ್ಯಾರೂ ಬದಲಾದಂತೆ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣ ಅವಾಗಾವಾಗೊಮ್ಮೆ ಪಾಪ ಬಡಪಾಯಿಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಹುರುಳಿಲ್ಲದ ಆರೋಪ ಮಾಡಿ ಗಲ್ಲು ಶಿಕ್ಷೆ ಆಗುವಂತ ಅಪರಾಧ ಮಾಡಿರುವಂತೆ ಚಿತ್ರಿಸಿಬಿಡುವುದು. ಪ್ರತಾಪ ಸಿಂಹನೆಂಬ ಪತ್ರಕರ್ತರ ಮೇಲೆ ಮಂತ್ರವಿಲ್ಲದ ಉಗುಳೇ ತುಂಬಿದ ಸಂಚಿಕೆ ಒಂದನ್ನು ಒದಿದ ಮೇಲೆ ಇದನ್ನು ಬರೆಯದಿರಲು ನನಗೆ ಮನಸ್ಸಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲ.
ಫೇಸ್ಬುಕ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆಳ್ಳಂಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ರವಿ ಬೆಳಗೆರೆ ಸ್ಟೇಟಸ್- ಭಟ್ಟರು ವಿ.ಕ.ಕ್ಕೆ ರಾಜೀನಾಮೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಪ್ರತಾಪ ಸಿಂಹ 50 ಲಕ್ಷ ರೂ ಹಗರಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಲುಕಿ ಬಿದ್ದಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಇದು ಆವತ್ತಿನ ಹಾಯ್ ಮಾರುವ ಪಕ್ಕಾ ಉದ್ಯಮಿ ಪತ್ರಕರ್ತರ ಮಾತು ಎಂಬುದು ಗೊತ್ತಾದದ್ದು ಒಳಗೇನೂ ಏನೋ ಇದೆ ಎಂದು 14 ರೂ. ದಂಡ ಮಾಡಿ ಹಾಯ್ ಖರೀದಿಸಿದ ನಂತರವೇ. ಪ್ರತಾಪ ಸಿಂಹ ಯಾರ್ಯಾರದೋ ಕಾಲಿಗೆ ಬಿದ್ದು ಹೆಂಡತಿಯಾಗುವವಳ ಹೆಸರಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಕ್ಕಾಪಟ್ಟೆ ಒದ್ದಾಡಿ ಅವಳನ್ನೇ ತಂಗಿ ಎಂದು ಒಂದು ಸರಕಾರಿ ಸೈಟ್ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾನಂತೆ, ಅದರ ಬೆಲೆ 50 ಲಕ್ಷ ಅಂತೆ(ಹಾಗಂತ ಎಂದಿನಂತೆ ರವಿ ಪರಮಾನು ಹೊರಡಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ). ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ರ.ಬೆ ಗೆ ಹೊಟ್ಟೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ತಳಮಳ ಎದ್ದು ಇಡೀ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆ ದಂಡ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಪ್ರತಾಪ ಸಿಂಹ ಹೊಲಸು ರಾಜಕೀಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೈ ಆಡಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ ಎಂಬಿತ್ಯಾದಿ ಆರೋಪ ಬಿಟ್ಟರೆ ಏನಿಲ್ಲ, ಏನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಆತನಿಗೆ ಅಷ್ಟೊಂದು ರಾಜಕೀಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೈ ಆಡಿಸುವುದು ಕರತಾಮಲಕ ಆಗಿದ್ದರೆ, ಯಡ್ಡಿ- ಶೋಭ ಅವರೆಲ್ಲ ಇವನ ಪರವಾಗಿ ಲಾಭಿ ಮಾಡುವುದಾದರೆ ಒಂದು ಸೈಟ್ಗೆ ಯಾಕೆ ಆ ರೀತಿ ತೊಂದರೆ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದ? ಮೈಸುಗರ್ ಬಿಲ್ಡಿಂಗ್ ಪಕ್ಕದಲ್ಲೆ ಮನೆ ಕಟ್ಟುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲವೇ?
ಪದ್ಮನಾಗನಗರದ ಪುಟ್ಟಿ ಶ್ರೀನಗರದ ಕಿಟ್ಟಿ ಜೊತೆ ಮದುವೆ ಆದರೆ ಅದರೆ ಲೋಕೋದ್ಧಾರದ ಮದುವೆ. ಅದೇ ಪ್ರತಾಪ ಸಿಂಹ ಕಾಲಿಲ್ಲದ ಹುಡುಗಿ ಜೊತೆ ಮದುವೆ ಆದರೆ ಅದು ಲಾಭಕ್ಕೋಸ್ಕರ ಆದ ಮದುವೆ. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಕೇಸರಿ ಪರಿವಾರದಿಂದ ಇದು ತಲೆಹಿಡುಕ ಕೆಲಸ ಅಲ್ಲ ಅಂತ ಬೇರೆ ಸಟರ್ೀಫಿಕೇಟ್ ಬೇಕಂತೆ. ರವಿ ಬೆಳಗೆರೆ ಅಂತ ದೊಡ್ಡವರು (?) ಈ ಮಟ್ಟದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಲ್ಲುವುದನ್ನು ಊಹಿಸಲಾಗದು. ಕಾಮ ಪ್ರೇಮದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಾಲ್ಕು ಪೆಗ್ ಹಾಕಿ ದಿನವಿಡೀ ಬರೆದು ಜನೋದ್ಧಾರ ಮಾಡುವವರಂತೆ ಸಲಹೆ ನೀಡುವ ರವಿಗೆ ಈ ಮದುವೆ ಒಂದು ಬಿಸಿನೆಸ್ ಡೀಲ್ ಆಗಿ ಕಂಡಿದೆ. ಓ... ಇಂಥ ಮನಸ್ಸನ್ನೂ ನಾವು ಓದುತ್ತೇವೆ.
ಯಡ್ಡಿ ಶೋಭ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಯಾವುದೋ ಕಾರಣಕ್ಕೆ ಓಳ್ಳೆ ಮಾತು ಬರೆದದ್ದನ್ನು ಇಸ್ಟುದ್ದದ ರಾದ್ಧಾಂತ ಮಾಡುವವರು ಕಳೆದ ಚುನಾವಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಗಣಿ ಧಣಿಗಳ ಕಾಲಿನ ಅದಿರು ಬೆರೆತ ಧೂಳು ಒರೆಸಿ ಬಳ್ಳಾರಿ ಬಿಸಿ ಜಾಸ್ತಿ ಆಯಿತೆಂದು ಬಂದು ಕುಳಿತದ್ದನ್ನು ನಾವ್ಯಾರೂ ಮರೆತಿಲ್ಲ. ಬರುವ 30 ಸಾವಿರ ರೂ ಸಂಬಳಕ್ಕೆ ಸ್ಕೋಡಾ ಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗದಂತೆ. ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಕರಿಯಾಗುವ ವಾರಪತ್ರಿಕೆಯ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆಗೆ ಮತ್ತೇನು ಶಾಲೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಕಟ್ಟಬಹುದೇ?
ಹಿಂದುಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಬರೆದಿದ್ದೇ ದೊಡ್ಡ ತಪ್ಪಂತೆ. ಅದಕ್ಕೇ ಆತ ಸಮಾಜ ಘಾತುಕ! ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಸಮಾಜ ಘಾತುಕರನ್ನು ಹೀರೋಗಳನ್ನಾಗಿ ಚಿತ್ರಿಸಿದವರು ಸಮಾಜ ಸೇವಕರು! ಹಿಂದುಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಬರೆಯಲು ಧೈರ್ಯ ಬೇಕು. ಪ್ರತಾಪ ಸಿಂಹಗೆ ಆ ಧೈರ್ಯ ಇತ್ತು, ಬರೆದ, ಜನ ಓದಿದರು ವಿ.ಕ.ವನ್ನು ನಂ 1 ಮಾಡಿದರು. ವಿ.ಕ ಹಿಂದುಗಳ ಪರವಾಗಿ ನಿಜ ಹೇಳದು, ಅದೂ ಇತರ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಗಳಂತೆ ಒಂದು ಸ್ಯೂಡೋ ಸೆಕ್ಯುಲಾರ್ ಅಂತ ಓಮ್ಮೆ ಗೊತ್ತಾದರೆ ಪುಕ್ಕಟ್ಟೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟರೂ ಓದುವವರಿರುವಿದಿಲ್ಲ. ಬಹುಶ ಪ್ರತಾಪ ಸಿಂಹ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಗೆ ಬರೆದರೂ ಅದೇ ರೀತಿ ಮೊನಚಾಗಿಯೇ ಅದೇ ತತ್ವದ ಮೇಲೇ ಬರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆಂಬ ನಂಬಿಕೆ ಇದೆ. ಬಳ್ಳಾರಿಯಲ್ಲೊಂದು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ್ನೊಂದು ಆಡುವ ಎರಡು ನಾಲಿಗೆ ಹಾವಂತೂ ಅಲ್ಲ.
ಅದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಮುಖ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಅಪಕ್ವ ಲೇಖನವೊಂದನ್ನು ಪುರಸೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲದಂತೆ ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಿದ್ದಾದರೂ ಏಕೆ ಎಂಬ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ. ವಿಶ್ವೇಶ್ವರ ಭಟ್ಟರು ರಾಜೀನಾಮೆ ನೀಡಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ವಾತಾವರಣ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಬಿಸಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಇಂತ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲೇ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣ ಪ್ರತಾಪ ಸಿಂಹ ಎಂಬಂತೆ ಚಿತ್ರಿಸಿಬಿಟ್ಟರೆ ಹಾಯ್ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಜಾಸ್ತಿ ಮಾರಾಟವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಮೊದಲೇ ಆತನನ್ನು ಕಂಡರಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೆಸರು ಕೆಡಿಸಲು ಇದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಅವಕಾಶ ಎಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಕ್ಕೀತು?
ಮದುವೆಯೊಂದನ್ನು ಹಾದರ ಎನ್ನುವಂತೆ ಚಿತ್ರಿಸಿದ ಹಾಯ್ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಕೊನೆಯ ಸಂಚಿಕೆ ಓದಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಮತ್ತೊಮ್ಮೆ ಅದನ್ನು ಖರೀದಿಸಿ ಓದಲಾರದಷ್ಟು ಹೇಸಿಗೆ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದೆ.

Maoists and Naxalites are India's externally sponsored terrorists
The Facts: Between 2004 and 2008, the Naxalites had killed about 500 civilians every year. This number rose to 591 in 2009. First six months of this year, 325 civilians have been killed in Naxal violence. This figure is greater than the violence by Islamic terrorists.
So the Enemies are more interested in making use of internal rebels than sending external terrorists to create chaos and threatening to the security of the country.
Recently Bangalore police arrested two Maoists and seized pistol, visa, passport and 25 Lack Rupees and this revealed the linkage between a person named Altaf residing in Dubai who is acting as an anchor between Maoists and Pakistani Islamic Terrorist groups. ISI had engaged Dawood Ibrahim and through his accomplice Chhota Shakeel to engage Maoists - that is Naxalite leaders in India - and instigate them to commit terrorist acts. The Maoists were leaving to Dubai to get trained in organizing terror activities in India. Many news papers of 13th Aug 2010 published this story without much importance. Many journalists shows sympathy towards Maoists could be the reason behind it.
China's support to the Maoists and Naxalites have been proved already. The Maoists leaders from India often visit their offices in cities like Beijing and Bangkok to hold discussions with their contacts in the neighbouring countries about the logistic support like supply of arms and ammunition.- A news channel OTV has reported once. Chinese made revolvers and other arms have been often recovered by the Naxals.
Murder of Laxamananda Saraswati case has proved the linkage between the Christian Missionaries and the Maoists. This murder was done by the Maoists to get support from the converted Christians and the missionaries involving in conversion funded by foreign agencies.
Journalists and self called 'secularists' and 'human right activists' like Arundhati Roy have kept their mouth shut as usual they do when the link between the Maoists and the anti social activities are revealed. They wake up when the cops kill such terrorists in encounters.
I'm sure that the many university professors who support Maoism in our own universities have brain washed their students to involve in Naxalism as the part of Indis's Independent Day celebration. To tackle the menace of externally supported India's internal terror threat Maoism, we should ensure that the supporters of the Maoists should be severely punished. The movement of the fund from external and internal terror sponsors should be monitored and checked.
Leave the reason and the history of Naxal movements. Watch what is happening now and tackle the menace. Crush them!

Indira Gandhi was a Muslim
Nehru-Gandhi Family: Hindu-Muslim-Christian Odyssey
Indira Gandhi was a Muslim. Don’t get shocked. If you believe her to be Hindu, it is another cheating by Nehru-Gandhi family by a fake Nehru dynasty.There are confusions over the true religion of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of independent India, and the biggest sin of the great country. Some tells Nehru’s grandfather Gangadhar was a Muslim with the name Giyasuddin Gazi and changed his name to escape from British army. (Don’t mistake him to freedom fighter, nobody mentioned that) Leave it apart come to Indira Gandhi treating she was born to Hindus.
Indira Gandhi studies in Shantiniketan. She was alone there as her father Nehru was busy in getting big fame without contributing to the nation. Indira was known to be seductive and caught the attention of Feroz Khan. Kamala Nehru, Indira’s mother was totally against the proposed marriage. But Indira converted to Islam and secretly married to Feroz Khan. To cheat the people of the country the tag of Gandhi added to newly wed couple. Only the name changed to confuse the people of India, but she was practicing Islam.
Rajiv Gandhi was born to Indira and Feroz khan and was a muslim by birth. Sanjay was believed to be born to Mohammad Yunus as Indira and Feroz were staying apart after the birth of Rajiv. Sanjay was initially named Sanjiv but to ascape from the arrest in London a fresh passport was issued to him with the name Sanjay.
Sanjay was a playboy. He made Menaka Anand pre-marriage pregnant and was threatened by Menaka’s father to marry her. She was a sexy model at than time! We don’t know what religion they practiced, but their son Varun Gandhi is growing as a Hindu leader. It is really surprising.
Rajiv Gandhi, we all know now that he changed his religion to become a Catholic to marry Sania Maino of Turin, Italy now ruling Congress Party with the name Sonia Gandhi. Rajiv became Roberto. His daughter's name is Bianca and son's name is Raul an website by Sikh community tells. Quite cleverly the same names are presented to the people of India as Priyanka and Rahul. Rajiv mentioned in a Press conference that he was a Parsi. Nobody of his ancestors were Parsi except his paternal grand mother who was a Parsi and converted to Islam. The whole family was ready to cheat the people even with creating the confusion over the religion they believe.
And surprise of surprises, Rajiv was even cremated as per vedic rites in full view of India's public. This is the Nehru dynasty that India worships and now an Italian leads a prestigious national party because of just one qualification - being married into the Nehru family
Nonody bothers if they practice whatever the religion they like. But using religion tags and the names of great legends like Gandhi which were unexpectedly, mistakenly attached to them to confuse innocent people like Indians who strongly believe in their own religion can not be accepted. Wake up dear Indian.

Why they are doing so? Are they fool to ask you to fill some details to get some gifts?
Your personal information is very much important to them. Just think, if they are giving some discount for your personal information; it means information you have provided will be more valuable than that discount. They ask you to fill name, contact number, occupation, income, family members and education in common. They segregate the data and use these data for marketing their products. If there is a small car to be launched they will select the potential buyers from the list and contact them. It reduces mass advertising. This again saves in millions.

Private Data: Fundamental Right or Asset?
Personal Data are getting much more importance in present business world. Every company look on reaching targeted customers. To do so, they need personal data. Age, occupation, mobile number, income and social status are important information upon which the target can be reached. These data are assets for a commercial organization. At the same time privacy is a fundamental right. You might have received number of blind calls from telemarketers if you have not registered National Do Not Disturb registry (See whether your mobile is registered for So Not Disturb read my previous article) This registry has been established to protect your privacy and keep you away from disturbing marketing calls.
In Europe privacy is fundamental right. UK has separate legislation for data protection under Data Protection Act 1998. This legistlation protects data from being misused, unauthorized use, unfair processing of data and collecting personal data by unlawful means. This protects the database market, more than that it protects privacy of the customer.
But in USA, Private data is treated as a commodity. They have future value. You can fill some discount forms to get discount by selling your personal data in some hyper malls. Then you start receiving SMS alerts on new offers! The data can be used for commercial activity. Safe Harbour Principles of USA protects personal data. Consumer has all the right to protect his data, he has the right to restrict the use and disclosure of the personal information. It prevents using data for the purpose other than specified. This means, if you have posted your resume in some job site, you won't get call from Sharekhan to market their online trading account.
Both the theories are right in their arguments. Many companies are now respecting your personal data. Some sites take your personal details up to your bank account. TRUSTe and Safe Harbour logos could be visible on these sites. There are some websites which asks your email address and fill your inbox with spam mails. What you think? Is your personal information is your fundamental right or goods that can be sold?

End of a Hot Indian Tennis Era
Sania Mirza, a tennis player, before that a hot sports girl, still precisely a Sexy Muslim lady now completely disappeared from the WTA top list. Shall we call now it as the end of the hot Indian tennis era? If I remove the word 'Indian' to make her world tennis 'figure' somebody reading it out of India and Pakistan may ask who she is! If I keep 'Indian' my beloved Indians may put an objection! She is loosing the matches and exiting from the first round after her marriage. Also now she is emotionally exited from India. Sania Mirza's era is now over and finally a poor girl who is capable of appearing on the front pages for different sports; Saina Nehwal is now getting attention. Thanks to Sania to make an dirty exit!I'm not much interested and following tennis as an addict. But I too follow it as a news, as a sports. When I searched for common opinion about this hot lady (Some what I am reluctant to keep the word tennis player) most of them are her fans just because of her hotness while in the court or in some TV ads, not for her achievements in tennis. This could also be the reason that media made her a celebrity despite of her no such achievements in tennis. Somebody rightly said "not a good player but a good looking girl. If she enters bollywood she gets 'huge' success. She is mediocre at best". I feel these opinions are true also.
India wanted sports heroes apart from cricket. We never treat sports other than cricket as a sports. Luckily Sania Mirza rose to the level of within 50 of WTA rankings(27 in singles and 18 in doubles). She was/is hot. Our newspapers always in need of hot photographs for their sport pages. Sania filled it. If she was there in Russia, Spain, America, Czech she might not have heard of as a tennis player for her WTA ranking and her standards of playing. She lacks ability, fitness, speed, power and temperament; she could not have even recognized as a player if she was not in India. If she was not born in any of the Muslim countries, she could not have played tennis, if played she could not have recognized as she would not wear short skirt there.
Indian girls also never accepted her as motivation to come out of classroom and participate in sports. Her effect on these girls ended there at beauty shops to wear big ornaments on there nose and to get breast implant!
The above picture is taken when she was watching Rohan Bopanna play in the 2008 Hopman Cup. What else than this picture can explain her marriage with Pakistani Player?
Interestingly, a comment in one of the online discussion forum: "Sania Mirza is the best Indian tennis player. She is also a good cricket player and should replace Sourav Ganguly in the next match." Now she can replace some Pakistani Cricket Players also!!

Funny audio transcribe in Youtube
Recently I noticed another feature added in Youtube, largest online video server to transcribe the audios of the videos. This is based on Google's voice recognition.
You can notice a button marked CC at the bottom of the player as shown in the picture. Clock on this and select transcribe audio beta, you will be able to see the captions at the bottom as you see in movies. There are quite a many language options are also there under translate captions I have not tested. The above picture is taken from the movie Before Sunrise. I have observed a lot many mistakes in the captions. Youtube tells this feature is under test.
But this transcribe feature is far from perfect yet. More than 75% of the texts are wrong and funny. It gives some unrelated word as captions and makes it funny. Many a times it just gives some random words which are really funny. You can also experience it once. Click on the picture above to see it enlarged and you will get to know how to get the captions.

Another Act of Nityananda's Drama: Kerosene for 'Panchagni'
Monday, 14 June 2010
So, who is the merchant of death?
It was during the Gujarat assembly election in 2007 the dictator of Congress Mrs Sonia Gandhi called Narendra Modi as merchant of death- maut ka saudagar. She called Modi a merchant of death for the 2002 riots in the state in the aftermath of the Godhra train carnage. Later it became a big issue of the campaign and BJP took the full advantage of these words. Now Mr Modi has sent the words back to Mrs Gandhi. This time Soniaji is not in the position to defend herself or the party or her expired husband Rajiv Gandhi by revealing the truth of who is the real maut ka saudagar. Modi's question is "Why is Sonia Gandhi silent on her party and government's failure in ensuring justice to the Bhopal gas tragedy victims? Now will she explain who is the maut ka saudagar?,"
To be with the facts it is the congress which is the real maut ka saudagar. It was the failure of the central government and Madhya Pradesh state government to handle the Bhopal case. There is not a single person to be blamed on this issue. Credit of Bhopal tragedy goes to the entire system called Congress Party. From Rajiv Gandhi to Arjun Singh; if they are keen to provide the justice it could not have happened. The case had not stretched like a chewing gum. Not only in this case, there are many incidents where congress is acting as the merchant of death. Punjab Riots directly points to congress. The case is not yet resolved, the survivals are still waiting for the justice. The genocide in Kashmir is due to the sins of Mr Nehru and his subsequent family members. Nehru did the Himalayan blunder. Even today the central government does not want to tackle the menace of nexalites. They enjoy doing cabinet meetings after the every nexal attacks and murder of hundreds of soldiers, police and civilians. Obviously it is the responsibility of Mrs Gandhi to tell who is the merchant of death?

Veena Stores - Malleswaram's Food Destination
You can add different variety of foods into your breakfast here. I never had same stuff twice a week. Very tasty food here is Idli with coconut chutney. There is no sambar available for Idli. Idlis are very smooth you can taste it with crispy vada along with chutney. Avalakki is also very tasty as it is cooked in abundant ghee. You can have the combination of sweet and khara pongal. Bisibele Bath is little spicy and good for Bangalore's chilled morning weather. Kharabath, Kesaribath, Chow Chow bath and Shawige Bath all are unique in their taste. Vermicelli upma- Shawige Bath is rich in ghee and coconut testes good with chuntey.
The shop opens at 6am to 11am and 4pm to 8pm. If you are visiting Malleshwaram at these hours never forget to visit Veena Stores. If you are at Cafe Coffee Day just move further in the one way take second left, you will reach Margosa Road. Park your vehicle opposite to Karnataka Bank and look for crowd over there. Yes, that is Veena Stores where my daily break fast was served.
Christian Missionaries Buy Religion
If you are traveling from Goa, Karwar or Gokarn to Bangalore through night bus the bus will stop at a calm place called Mavinagundi near Jogfalls. There are a number of small shops which are open 24 hours beside the road. I’m traveling this way since six years and always delighted with the service of these shops as they never cheated their customer. They are all village people and happy with their work and earnings.
This time it was a shocking. In the last 2 shops at both side of the road were now belongs to Christians. These people have been converted to Christian by the power of money. They have been given monitory benefits to get their religion change. In other words the great Christian missionaries have bought the religion of these people. So now their shops are little improved. Never think they will improve more and their shops will be a star hotel. The agents of the missionaries’ works are over. They have been paid and those who have been converted also been paid.

Bipasha Basu hot for New York Lotto TV ad
It was in 1999, when Bipasha Basu was just entered the modeling field and has no fame of bollywood actress. She went topless for a American TV ad which was told to be filmed in India. This commercial was filmed for New York Lotto. Bipasha Basu was in a contract with the New York-based Ford modeling agency at that time. The ad is directed by Ken Nahoum. The video is posted online by Tommy Kane, who was the art illustrator for this ad. However this ad was not telecasted in the TV channels. Officials of Bipasha Basu also agreed that she went nude for this TV ad as an international assignment.
You Tube has not deleted this ad as there is no direct nudity. You can not see her nude in this video. Her co-actress can see it. But you can feel and tell without doubt she went topless for this TV commercial. Her topless body is shown through her shoulders from the back.

3G spectrum bid creates liquidity problem
In the 3G spectrum auction, which closed on Wednesday, the government will receive Rs 67,719 crore. According to market sources, the government is likely to garner an additional Rs 12,000 crore from BWA auction. So, total revenue from the spectrum action will be Rs 80,000 crore which is Rs 40,000 crore more than the budget. This has become an aid for the development work for the government of India.
Where will this fund come from? As we know, Telecom companies has to pay this amount to the government. No telecom company has that much fund in hand to pay. They have to move to their financiers, the major banks in India. It will be a challenging task for them to arrange this huge fund. This may create liquidity problem among the banks and the telecom firms. In June 2010 as close to Rs 100,000 crore goes out of the banking system.Once the very huge fund has been gone by the banks the banks have to wait until the government spends the money which will take a few months.
No firm has made a call in all 22 circles is an evidence that they are not able to meet fund requirements. When they look at the bankers this became head ache of the bankers to arrange he fund. The short term interest rates may also go up due to the huge demand. It might change the current situation for few months. The ordinary customer is less likely to be affected by this move.

Now UPSC term to reform, Pass CSAT to become IAS officer
Indian Civil Service System has more than 150 years of history. It was the British Indian governments formed ICS- Indian Civil Service. You might have heard the story of Sri Arobindo Ghosh and also could have heard of ICS exams that time. He did not succeeded in Horse riding which was an essential part of the exam. In independent India a constitutional body has been framed and was called UPSC which was responsible for conducting Civil Service Exam in short CSE which recruits for IAS, IPS, IFS and many other top level positions. This exam is termed as mother of all the exams in India.
But there was discussion about the pattern of the exam. One common Paper of General Knowledge and one Optional subject of candidates' choice. There were some cases in the court regarding the un expected advantages that some students get by choosing particular subject.
Now UPSC prelims are not there. It is termed as CSAT- Civil Service Aptitude Test. It will evaluate the aptitude of the candidate in-spite of the bookish knowledge. The new CSAT will take place in the year 2011. But there is no information about the Mains exam. This might also change very soon, until then the old format will continue.
I really appreciate the new format of the examination. Now an arts student or an engineering student, all have equal opportunity write and pass the exam. There is no added advantage of taking an option and getting confused and blaming on the optional for poor performance. In teh view of nation and the society, I believe the new exam will give more talented officers as their decision making, moral, ethical reasoning are also tested in the exam. Thanks to Manmohan Singh for this Change. But it is very bad that till now the exam format is not relieved, not even the new syllabus. Even the institutes withe big names in IAS coaching have no idea how the new paper could be. They are also not dispatching the materials. So the candidates appearing for 2011 UPSC CSAT has to face real challenges. These are not big challenges for future IAS/IPS officers right?

Do you know who was your great grand father?
Do you know your grand father? Yes you know. Who was your great grand father? Some of you may answer. Who was your grand father of your grand father? You don’t know.
Do you know who is Mahatma Gandhi? Great, you know. Who is George Washington? Wah, You have global knowledge. Who was JRD Tata? Who was Mr Ford? Who is Swami Vivekanand? Are they your grand fathers? Then why you know them?
They lived for a cause. They lived their life. So they did not die. Our great grand fathers died in their childhood itself.
Now decide, should we become like our ancestors whose name we don’t know or should we achieve something and should be an example for our next generation?
You know what to do!
(This was there in a speech of Mr Chakravarthy Soolibele, available at esnips)

ICICI and HDFC banks are not Indian Banks
According to the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the two major banks in India ICICI Bank and HDFC Banks are not Indian owned but are Indian controlled. Their major part of the holding is of foreign origin rather than Indian. But the board is controlled by Indians. But when the ownership is concerned, they no more stand as Indian Banks! They are not more than any other foreign banks like RBS or HSBC when it comes to nationality of the ownership.
Both ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank have over 74 per cent foreign holding, including that of foreign banks and overseas institutional investors. The direct and indirect foreign holdings in ICICI Bank and HDFC are around 67% and 73% respectively. This makes their holding in other institution also of foreign investments. Hence they want to be recognized as Indian banks as the restriction for other investments in India. ICICI and HDFC both have other subsidiaries like life insurance and mutual fund wings where the foreign investments has some restriction and limitation. If they are recognized as foreign banks they can not hot majority stake in their subsidiaries.
If a company to be an Indian owned it has to be held more than 50% by the Indian residents or institutions. But these banks are not! Government may amend the rules to make them enjoy the foreign holdings and also to continue enjoying the benefits given to Indian Banks. But we Indians should understand that they are no more owned by us.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull ಅರ್ಥ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಪರದಾಟ!
ಜೊನಾಥನ್ ಲಿವಿಂಗ್ ಸ್ಟನ್ ಸೀಗಲ್ ಎನ್ನುವ ಒಂದು ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಇದೆ. ಇದರ English e-ಅವತರಣಿಕೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕು ಮೂರ್ನಾಲ್ಕು ವರ್ಷಗಳೇ ಆದವು. computer ಎದುರು ಕುಳಿತು ಓದಿದ್ದು ಓದಿದ್ದು. ಏನೊಂದು ಅರ್ಥ ಆಗಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. At least ಕಥೆಯಾದರೂ ಅರ್ಥ ಆಗುವುದು ಬೇಡವೇ? ಅದು ಆಗಲಿಲ್ಲ. ನನಗೆ English ಬರುವುದಿಲ್ಲವೋ ಅಥವಾ ಕಥೆ ಓದಲು ಬರುವುದಿಲ್ಲವೋ ತಿಳಿಯಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಅದನ್ನ English Literature ಓದಿದ ಗೆಳತಿಯೊಬ್ಬಳಿಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಸಹಾಯ ಬೇಡಿಯೂ ಆಯಿತು. ಮೊದಲೇ ಆ ಕಥೆಯಲ್ಲಿನ motivation ಏನೆಂದೇ ತಿಳಿಯದವನಿಗೆ ಈ ಕಥೆ ಒಂದು ಅಧ್ಯಾತ್ಮಿಕ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಅಂದಾಗ ಮೈ ಪರಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವಂತೆ ಆಗಿತ್ತು.
ಮೊನ್ನೆ ಗಾಂಧಿ ನಗರದ ಚೈತ್ರ book house ಗೆ ಹೋದಾಗ ಸೀಗಲ್ ಕನ್ನಡ ಅವತರಣಿಕೆ ಕಣ್ಣಿಗೆ ಬಿಟ್ಟು. Richard Bach ಬರೆದ ಪುಸ್ತಕವನ್ನು ಎಂ ಎಲ್ ರಾಘವೇಂದ್ರ ರಾವ್ ಅನುವಾದಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಪುಸ್ತಕ ನೋಡಲು ತುಂಬಾ ಮುದ್ದಾಗಿದೆ. ಒಂದೆರಡು ಪುಟ ತಿರುವಿದಾಕ್ಷಣ ತುಂಬಾ ಸರಳವಾಗಿ ಅನುವಾದಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಅನಿಸಿತು. ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲೇ ಓದಿ ನೋಡೋಣ ಅಂದುಕೊಂಡು ೩೦ ರೂಪಾಯಿಯ ೫೫ ಪುಟಗಳ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಕೊಂಡು ತಂದೆ. ಪುಸ್ತಕದ ತುಂಬಾ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳು. ದೊಡ್ಡ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಅಕ್ಷರಗಳು. ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಕಥೆ ಪುಸ್ತಕದ ತರಹ ಇದೆ.
ನಾನು ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಓದುವ ತರಹವೇ ಓದಿದ್ದು. ಅವರಿಗೂ ಅಸ್ಟೇ ಕಥೆ ಅರ್ಥವಾದರೆ ಆಯಿತು. ಅದರಲ್ಲಿನ theme ಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಂಡು ಏನಾಗಬೇಕು? ಜೊನಾಥನ್ ಅನ್ನುವ ಸಮುದ್ರ ಕಾಗೆಯ ಕಥೆ. ಆಕಾಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾರುತ್ತಾ ತೆಲಬೇಕೆಂಬ ಆಸೆ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ. ಆದರೆ ಅದರ ಗುಂಪಿಗೆ ಹೊಸದನ್ನು ಮಾಡುವ ಇಷ್ಟವಿಲ್ಲ. ಸಮುದ್ರದ ದಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆಸ್ತರು ಹಿಡಿದು ತರುವ ಮೀನಿನ ಮೇಲೆ ಕಣ್ಣು. ಅಸ್ಟೇ ಆದರೆ ಅದು ಒಂದು ಜೀವನವೇ ಎನ್ನುವ ಹುಡುಗ ಜೊನಾಥನ್. ನೂರಾರು ಮೀಟರ್ ಎತ್ತರಕ್ಕೆ ನೋವಾದ ರೆಕ್ಕೆಯನ್ನು ಲೆಕ್ಕಿಸದೆ ಹಾರಿ ಹಾರಿ ಯಾವ ಸೀ ಗಲ್ ಮಾಡದ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕ ಉಡುಗೊರೆ ಎಂದರೆ- ಅವರ ಜಾತಿಯಿಂದಲೇ ಬಹಿಷ್ಕಾರ. ಆದರು ಬೆನ್ನು ಬಿಡದೆ ಛಲ ಸದಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ ಜೊನಾಥನ್. ಕೊನೆಗೆ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಫ್ಲೆಚರ್ ಎನ್ನುವ ಶಿಷ್ಯ ದೊರೆಯುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಅವನ ಹಿಂದೆ ನೂರಾರು ಹಿಂಬಾಲಕರು ಸಿಗುತ್ತಾರೆ.
ಕಥೆ ಮೇಲ್ನೋಟಕ್ಕೆ ಇಸ್ಟೇ. ಆದರೆ ಅದನ್ನು ಅರ್ಥ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಮಾತ್ರ ಹರ ಸಾಹಸ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಇನ್ನು ನಾಲ್ಕು ಬರಿ ಓದಿದ ಮೇಲೇ ಅದರಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಆಧ್ಯಾತ್ಮ ಅರ್ಥವಾಗಬಹುದು ಅಂದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
ಹಾಗೆಯೇ Alchemist ಕೂಡ. ಕಥೆ ಒಂದೆ. ಆದರೆ ನಾವು ಓದುವ ಮನೋ ಮಟ್ಟದ ಆಧಾರದ ಮೇಲೆನಮಗೆ ಅದರ ತಿರುಳು ಅರ್ಥವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಮೊದಲ ಬಾರಿ ಓದಿದಾಗ Santiago ಸೂರ್ಯನ ಬಳಿ ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ ಅನಿಸಿದರೆ ಎರಡನೇ ಬಾರಿ ಓದುವಾಗ ಇನ್ನೇನೋ ಅರ್ಥವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಮತ್ತೂ ಓದಿದರೆ ಶಂಕರರ ಅಹಂ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಾಸ್ಮಿ ಅರ್ಥ ಕೊಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಪ್ರತೀ ಬಾರಿ ಓದುವಾಗಲೂ ಇವು ಹೊಸತಾಗಿಯೆ ಇರುತ್ತವೆ. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಈಗ ಆರನೇ ಬಾರಿ ಓದುತ್ತಿರುವುದು.

Are you a Public Personality? How Much?
I have seen many people twitter and buzz like social networking tool to project them as public personality. If you read those stuffs, first thing is you will never understand who is writing all these, second thing is you will never understand what they are scrapping, if you have got answers for these two you will never get an answer for why they are doing this?
A number of page three people, celebrities, public personalities use such networks to reach the people. It is a tool to reach their fans and also media. This has become an effective tool for them. Social networking sites are not meant for only for them. Anybody can use it; anybody can post his or her opinions. It’s really a powerful tool to be touch with the friends. Until unless it is for personal use I really like it. When it goes public I start to hate. That does not mean I don’t want to be a public personality!
What do you think if I start writing on my blog only about my opinion, my relationships or myself with some other famous personality like Amitabh Bhacchan, or some other celebrity writes in their public profiles? Are you bothered to read? Who am I for the world? Do the world care for my personal opinion, my personal relationships and personal travels? Though some write like they are little Paulo Choelo or Robin Sharma or Swami Sukhabodananda. It is nothing but he outcome of the desperate wish of those people to become like their role models. Those bloggers have many things to repair themselves, how can they correct their readers. Including Me, Friends!
There is a cricket player in our street. He saw a twitter account of a famous cricketer. He also started an account. Started writing- I scored 150 Runs today (After playing whole day- a 10 times 5 over match!) I have pain in my left knee; I may not able to play final (Final match against guests of nabour house as they are going back!) I proposed Usha today I got a positive replay. I learnt today that the cricket could be played in ping-pong ball also! That too his postings come once in a week whenever he gets access to the Internet connection!
No newspaper will follow it. Nobody else other than his own friends require this info. It is not useful info at all. Why he wants these stuffs to be told to world. Just because he wants to be like that cricketer! He wants to become a public personality, a celebrity. Twitter or google buzz will never make us a celebrity, a philosopher, a politician, or a cricketer. There are routs to make our dream come true. Once we are the achievers, then there is a meaning in guiding the world, telling what we are to the world!

Buzz, Twitter Message Appears in Google search!!
It took little long time to understand Google Buzz. Though it asks while posting a comment to publish in web or not I never thought it could appear in Google Search. But after publishing a
post in Google Buzz I gave search for 'Weather Bangalore' surprisingly it was my comment was on the list. That too the latest result was mine!My friend Shivu was discussing an hour ago about these public posting of the buzz. He was worried that anybody can follow anybody. It is obvious that we feel whetever we scrap there at buzz is personal or it could be available for those whom we have permitted as the mail itself is very very personal. But some application that could be accessed through our e-mail log in becomes public is really horrible!
If you have not seen this just browse this search page. If the latest comments are not available, give some hot keyword at present and search. Or change the setting as latest as it appears left of the result page. Its really good application untill it disturbs the personal matters of a person.

What Does India Need? Projectivity or Productivity?
Are you working for an Indian software company? What are you working on? A Project or an own Product?
Bill Gates is recognized for Microsoft Windows, Steve Jobs is for i-phone and i-pad, we have so many examples like this. Let me ask you now- for what product Mr Narayan Murthy recognized for? Ask yourself, take any Indian Software company and analyze for what product they are recognized for. Nokia is famous for Nokia Mobiles; Samsung is for quite much number of electronic items. Google could create a new verb. For which product do you mark Wipro? (Leave its consumer goods section). Western Products Ltd- Wipro has forgotten what is a product when it comes to Wipro Technologies. Where do its EGO laptops stand in international Market?
Have you observed one thing? We feel proud when some Indian name runs in credential when adobe acrobat initiates. We proudly announce this much percentage of yahoo, Intel, Microsoft employees are Indians. Now tell me, why still we are working on some project borrowed from those companies? Why we could not create an OS like Microsoft, Unix or Mac? Why still we are importing phones from China? Why we don’t have indigenous Chip, Mobile or Complete Desktop? Is it much difficult than an aircraft, a satellite launching vehicle or a cryogenic engine, or a super computer?
Ask CDAC or ISRO people how to work on a product? They have built indigenous products. We have cryogenic engine now! Just because USSR did not give us cryogenic technology when we asked it for! We have PARAM super computers just because USA was unwilling to provide us that technology. They worked for the nation! We, so called engineers work for company, work for project, work for service!
Narayana Murthy is our youngsters’ role model. What flashes you when we tell the name of Narayana Murthy! There could be Finacle, Tally or similar software products by Indian software units, but again they are just a service to their clients. What flashes in your mind when somebody tells Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Larry Page, N Y Philiphs……? People who do not know English have brand name called Lenovo, which now acquired IBM’s hardware unit. The same Chinese people have Huawei; to run our internet connections we have no other option!
We Indians are masters in English have nothing! (Our software companies test communication skills in English during recruitment) Our companies work on some projects which are already researched and developed by Huawei! You learn Chinese to bring that silly project! Our knowledge in foreign language is used only for bringing or begging some projects! The same Narayana Murthy tells many of our engineering students are not eligible to be employed. Yes, our schools have prepared such graduates who can work on some project- a borrowed out sourced service! They are not prepared to work on their own product or a landmark in the technology! What else you can expect when your requirement is the same?
Work for ‘Product’vity not on ‘Project’vity!

India needs a law against MMS sex scandals
There was a website of Indian sex cartoons-Savitha Bhabhi. Today you can not browse it. Government of India banned the site and enacted the law against the website. There was conspiracy that some of its characters resemble some of the bollywood legends. Law can always be enforced against the porno sites if the state has the willpower to do so.Have you ever thought of how many sex scandals happens daily and get caught by hidden cameras or mobile cameras. Number is in hundreds. They all gets uploaded into the web. They are downloaded by millions. Once they got downloaded they are transferred to further millions by blue tooth devices.
India never accepted the porno sites, films, magazines. But the MMS scandals are becoming business. The websites are making more money than any others. Thousands of young girls and boys are ruining their life for some miss deeds they have done. Number of MMS or other sex scandals are pictured without the knowledge of the couple or one of them. Some are pictured with the knowledge or by themselves. There is no point in analysing all these.
The MMS scandals starts from DPS school students' MMS clip(Watch Dev D) to Malnad engineering college couple in Mungarumale, have completely ruined their life. At least the MMS or videos are not publicised they could have live there life somewhere. Though Mysore Mallige guys Prithviraj andChetana married it did not survive for long. A nun in Kerala was cught in mobile by her own sex partner-driver and was uploaded.
Now the mania
of such scandals have entered even small towns. Vandana's sex tape Mangaloreans down. Now it has entered Kushalnagar, a small town of Coorg with Rizwan's sex scandal with Pallavi, a student of Engineering College of the town. The policemen have not taken a simple action to find out which girl is that out of nine Pallavis in the college. They are waiting for a suicide. Now a College girl of Sirsi has also became a pet off all local guys. The uniform she is wearing is of the local college- a newspaper reports. But no action taken!Why we should not have a strong law against all these. It should punish all from one who has pictured to one who stores in any form. If it found to be pictured with the knowledge of the couple or girl then they should also be punished. This laws should resemble laws of Taliban- bigger punishments! Just because there deeds will not only spoil the life of their own but also ruins the society and the culture.

Telecom Service Provider shall upload the telephone number to the NDNC within 45 days of receipt. The Telemarketer will have to verify their calling telephone numbers list with the NDNC registry before making a call. To discourage the telemarketers who make calls to the numbers registered in Do Not Call List, a provision has been made whereby Rs.500/ - shall be payable by the telemarketer to the service provider for every first unsolicited commercial communication (UCC) and Rs.1000/- shall be payable for subsequent UCC.

Are you a Secularist?
Sharing a mail I recieved with you.
Are you a Secularist? Then please answer these questions ,
1. There are nearly 52 Muslim countries. Show one Muslim country which provides Haj subsidy.
2. Show one Muslim country where Hindus are extended the special rights that Muslims are accorded in India?
3. Show one Muslim country which has a Non-Muslim as its President or PrimeMinister.
4. Show one country where the 85% majority craves for the indulgence of the 15% minority.
5. Show one Mullah or Maulvi who has declared a 'fatwa' against terrorists.
6. Hindu-majority Maharashtra, Bihar, Kerala,Pondicherry,etc. Have in the past elected Muslims as CMs; Can you ever imagine a Hindu becoming the CM of Muslim - majority J&K?
7. Today Hindus constitute 85% of the Indian population. If Hindus are intolerant, how come Masjids and Madrassas are thriving? How come Muslims are offering Namaz on the road? How come Muslims are proclaiming 5 times a day on loudspeakers that there is no God except Allah?
8. When Hindus gave to Muslims 30% of Bharat for a song, why should Hindus now beg for their sacred places at Ayodhya, Mathura and Kashi?
9. Why temple funds are spent for the welfare of Muslims and Christians, when they are free to spend their money in any way they like?
10. When uniform is made compulsory for school children, whythere is no Uniform Civil Code for citizens?
11. In what way, J&K is different from Maharashtra, TamilNadu or Uttar Pradesh, to have article 370?
12. Why did Gandhiji support the Khilafat Movement (nothing to do with our freedom movement) and what did he get in turn ?
13. Why did Gandhiji object to the decision of the cabinet and insisted that Somnath Temple should be reconstructed out of public fund, and not with government funds; when in January 1948, he presurrised Nehru and Patel to carry on renovation of the mosques of Delhi at government expenses?
14. If Muslims & Christians are minorities in Maharashtra,UP, Bihar etc., are Hindus not minorities in J&K, Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya etc.? Why are Hindus denied minority rights in these states?
15. Do you admit that Hindus do have problems that need to be recognized. Or, do you think that those who call themselves Hindus are themselves the problem?
16. Why has post-Godhra been blown out of proportion, when no-one talks of the ethnic cleansing of 4 lakh Hindus from Kashmir?
17. In 1947, when India was partitioned, the Hindu population in Pakistan was about 24%. Today it is not even 1%. In 1947, the Hindu population in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) was 30%. Today it is about 7%. What happened to the missing Hindus? Do Hindus have human rights at all?
18. In contrast, in India, the Muslim population has gone up from 10.4% in 1951 to about 14% today; whereas the Hindu population has come down from 87.2% in 1951 to 85% in 1991. Do you still think that Hindus are fundamentalists?
19. Do you consider that -
--->Sanskrit is communal and Urdu is Secular,
--->Mandir is Communal and Masjid is Secular,
--->Sadhu is Communal and Imam is Secular,
--->BJP is communal and Muslim League is Secular,
--->Dr. PraveenBhai Togadia is ANTI-NATIONAL and Bhukari is Secular,
--->Vande Matharam is communal and Allah-O-Akbar is secular,
--->Shriman is communal and Mian is secular,
--->Hinduism is Communal and Islam is Secular,
--->Hindutva is communal and Jihadism is secular, and at last,
--->Bharat is communal and Italy is Secular?
20. When Christian and Muslim schools can teach Bible and Quran, Why can't Hindus teach Gita or Ramayan?
21. Abdul Rehman Antuley was made a trustee of the famous Siddhi Vinayak Temple in Prabhadevi, Mumbai. Can a Hindu - say Mulayam or Laloo - ever become a trustee of a Masjid or Madrassa?
22. Dr. Praveenbhai Togadia has been arrested many times on flimsy grounds. Has the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid, Delhi, Ahmed Bhukari been arrested for claiming to be an ISI agent an d advocating partition ofBharat?
23. When Haj pilgrims are given subsidy, why Hindu pilgrims to Amarnath, Sabarimalai & Kailash Mansarovar are extra taxed

Watching TV is more dangerous than watching Eclipse
On 15th January we experienced a most exiting solar eclipse in terms of science and also in terms of the reaction of the people. The Bangalore was calm. There was unannounced Bundh in the city. There were hardly a few autos in the street of busy Malleshwaram. I had given my bike for servicing in the morning. They called me to get delivery of bike at 2’O clock where earlier I used to get it next morning. My office was empty. Even during some protests it used to be crowded. I was just chit chatting with my colleagues all the day. This was the scenery of the day of complete solar eclipse.Schools were closed, people where busy watching TVs in their souses. A cash pick up guy called the bank and told he will not going to pick the cash because its eclipse. He also told it’s on his sun sign and he has to chant. Not answerable on the phone.
Watching TVs has become more dangerous than watching eclipse itself. Hundreds of TV channels are not telecasting speeches of Astrologists. You can talk then over phone and get answer for your doubts. They just want their TRPs to be increased. Emotional ways of increasing TRPs have always worked. So they will tell you that solar eclipse has impact on your sun sign and you have to chant all the day. Some people even went further to tell if a pregnant lady vomits and wipes her mouth during eclipse she will get a baby whose lips will be half cut! No one dare to come out and watch eclipse that they could enjoy once in their life time. They think they will have bad effect if they won’t chant. Thus they loose one opportunity to view a wonderful event of the nature. Watching TV spoils an opportunity making you frightened.
Even I did not take food during eclipse. It’s not because I believed the suggestion of some astrologists on the news channels. It’s just because the hotels nearby my office were closed!
