India needs leaders and no dealers.....

I hate politics,I hate politicians,I hate writing about them,I hated
studying about civics & economics.I know it's important to know it all if
you're a part of democracy like India,but I don't understand a word I read about politics.

So this is my first post about POLITICS,and perhaps the last too[Till the next election :)]

30/04/2009----

It was the election date.Most of the people were bent upon awakening the other to vote and the businessmen were busy persuading everyone to vote by huge discount offers on showing the famous black spot - the proof that they had voted. Even the radio jockeys at various radio stations were doing the same job.

As far as I was concerned,it was not like a "normal" holiday-a sunday.It was the festical of politics,where I had to do something so important and that too for the first time in my life.---- VOTE!! .... and then show off that black dot proudly to everyone around.

I had not received my election card,but my dad assured me that I would be allowed to vote on showing my identity & residence proof.I was not very keen on voting,but those vote campaigns had awakened the enthusiastic voter in me !! :D

A friend told me that the candidates bribed certain class of people to vote for them and the money[Read : bribe/black money] those people earned was lakhs of rupees.

I was shocked.I was feeling so helpless.I was far too innocent to imagine such things were actually happening.I thought if these people applied a bit of their business mind to constructive activities,for the welfare of the people;the future of India would be so much better than expected. But these corrupt people,who keep running after money all the time;the unethical politicians;the immoral citizens-----all these things and lot more has weakened India.I feel so sorry that I don't have enough authority & courage to fight against all this.

How I wish I could undertake a sting operation,catch the politicians red-handed when they're bribing people and those sick DISGUSTING citizens of INDIA who actually accept the bribe and happily enjoy partying with that dishonest earning.

Horrible,isn't it?

It hurts me more than anything ever.To be honest,I'm not the "perfect patriot" kind of a girl,but I'm surely concerned for my country & its future.It's my moral responsibility for the sake of humanity-not only for India but for any DEMOCRATIC country as a bonafide citizen of that particular country.

Anyways,all these are mere talks and talks don't help.I know I cannot reveal the names of people involved in all this,but I surely wish I can do something.

I wish I can catch each one of them,get them arrested and drag them to the court. I know it very well that even if I reveal those names,people will question me regarding evidences,which I'm not going to have.

Anyways forget it.Talk & forget-Thats all I can do.I'm such an ordinary citizen-another common man who cannot do anything inspite of being the witness to all the injustice and a victim of corruption.[Courtesy: movie -Wednesday].I don't have any other option.I cannot call the police and tell them 'cause you never know even they might be involved[Sorry - to all the genuine policemen out there,if at all anyone is reading].

Okay,now coming back to my first vote....

The centre was not at all crowded.The people posted with the job of handling the voting procedures were literally sitting idle,whiling away time,cracking jokes,laughing at the silliest jokes and gossiping.

Tch-Tch!!

What a situation!!

They were cracking jokes on the blue ink which turned black[which was used for applying the black spot.]--- "This can be used as a dye to colour the hair black". Thats what I heard.

Huh!!I guess this was the poorest joke I have heard in my life,but I completely sympathize with them.

That was the scene at the polling centres.

Scene at home :-

Everyone was busy watching poll news about the poll percentage and few glimpses of IPL.

I swear,I'm so not interested in cricket.IPL makes me sick! and on the top of it all,IPL is the "current event" thing.Status messages on all social networking sites,applications on all social networking sites,blogs,newspapers,tv channels,college conversations,bets,celebrity crushes,messenger chats,messenger status messages--------EVERY second thing is about IPL-Mumbai something,Delhi something....God knows what are those names.

Anyways coming back to elections...

The news channels had got a new topic apart from IPL.

"Aaj Mumbai ne kiya niraash....."

"Only 46.63% people voted at Mumbai......."

Then,the celebritiessssssss-----

"John Abraham,Sonam Kapoor,Amrita Rao,Abhishek Bacchan,Aishwarya Bacchan,Jaya Bacchan,Amitabh Bacchan etc etc etc....WENT TO VOTE".

This was the breaking news.

And then The top 10 celebrities who did not vote---

5 in actors,5 in actresses :-

Ajay Devgan,Saif Ali Khan,Akshay Kumar,Salman Khan,Deepika Padukone,Priyanka Chopra,Kareena Kapoor etc. etc. --I don't remember the names.Please excuse me.--These people did not vote.Inspite of being a part of the inspiring advertisement to make people vote,these stupid celebrities did not vote.
It was so damn irritating.News channels are sooooooo irritating.....
Moreover,In Mumbai they applied that black spot on the middle finger,so in case they have to show the proof that they had voted,they would have to show all the fingers together...Poor Mumbai!! :P

Phew...enough of all this.I shall post more after 5 years!! :P

P.S. :- We give them vote.What do they give us? I'm thankful to this line and the autorickshaw wala who had got this line painted on his autorickshaw.

--------Note: I'm not answerable to anyone,any legislation,any politician,any policeman or any other common man like me.We all know the realities of "INDIA" and we've to accept it,shut out mouth,sit back blindfolded and let everything happen.-------

If you can do anything about the malpractices going on,please consider my support,encouragement and appreciation. :)

Pretence versus reality......!!

10 days before

Phew!!!

Actually it was a hectic day at college,but inspite of being exhausted,there was something which made all of that disappear and gave a feeling of peace ..... -----The reason as follows :)

There's this girl Anjali in my class..She's a classmate,not a friend exactly but surely an acquaintance.
We were supposed to stay back after college hours on that day for project work.
There's a guy Rahul who kinda loves the girl ....
He also was waiting[obviously for the girl] but outside the college premises.

Suddenly he came to the lecture hall where we were working,handed the girl's cellphone to her and informed that her mom had called up....The girl's hands were busy['cause we were completing the project work],so obviously she couldn't receive the call.

The cell phone rang again and the guy held the cell phone against her ears so that she could talk...!!

I know it seems very ordinary while reading,but at college,this is the only genuine love[as far as my perception is concerned].
Though they haven't yet confessed or told each other what they feel,they have pure innocent love and I'm glad the guy has never ever flirted with any other girl in all these three years.

I honestly wish we could be atleast friends,But I'm way too reserved for that :)

Their relationship is like - "Everyone knows they're meant to be,EXCEPT them" :)

And ya they have no other "public displays of affection",that cheap showing off of overwhelming emotions and overflowing outbursts like few other couples in the college who only keep showing off,Don't know if they'll last.
....[It's really very irritating.]

Please stop all that,if you're reading!!

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Today,I was at Cafe Coffee Day with a few friends...


There was a girl at the adjacent table,sitting all alone with an ipod,having a cup of coffee.She seemed upset.I drew the attention of my friends towards her.She was also staring at us :)

I thought perhaps she was going through a tough phase[of breakup/something].My friends laughed it away that "Dish,tujhe to sab me breakup hi lagta hai..."
I thought "May be they're right".....But somehow I still think something was wrong with her ....[Right now also :D]

We had a cup of coffee and were about to disperse....

Suddenly,a friend pointed out at a girl & guy who were about to kiss each other.She said "Hey,did you see that?They were actually going to kiss each other."

I was like "Come on!!This is CCD.How can they do that and that too when they are sitting outside on the roadside."

{[In Ahmedabad,it's not a common sight]May be it's common in a few other places}

Saying this I just turned at the couple and......

SHITTTTT!!

I was actually shocked at the scene I just happened to witness....

YUCKKKKKK!!

They were actually kissing each other.A friend just spoke up "They're sure to make out tonight..."

We all were laughing...but inside I was thinking "Was that genuine love or was it just a public display of crap affection and meaningless love?"

Whatever it may be,it was truly disgusting.[My perception]


Of course,the guys around seemed to be enjoying the movie going on....

Nevertheless,who cares!

Their life,Their wish!!

But what I concluded from this is there are strange ways of life....

Someone's all alone in life with no one to care,no one to make them smile and a past they can never forget and which will always make them cry;Someone else seems to have love overflowing in his/her life with nothing to cry;Some people who're waiting for someone who can give them a reason to live,a reason to smile and forget the indifference they have faced so that they can move on.....

However,it's better to sit alone upset than do all those disgusting stuff which should be saved for your personal life[for your bedroom,to be precise!!]

I had to say this out.M still ASTONISHED,you see!!



:D


And yes,I'm not imposing my outlook on anyone or targetting anyone's personal perceptions.You're free to think that the couple at CCD was "sweet". :P

Maybe she is fine.....!!

"Hey Dish,Are you fine?"

"Obviously!! Why?What would be wrong with me!!??"

"No.I asked 'cause I just happened to know that He is getting engaged next week."

"Ah!!You know what?For the first time in my life I'm really happy.I'm thankful that he was not the "one".bach gai main....and moreover he has lost something.I never had him anyways,so I had nothing to lose!! " :)

"Dish,Are you really Disha?"

"Oh come on!!Do you think I'm still the little girl who'll cry,crib and grieve over her past?Just forget it.I don't give a damn.I'm very happy for him.He has finally found her.I'm also happy for my own self" :)

"I'm glad you're okay.You've moved on & finally you know that it was never really meant to be.I'm happy you're over it."

"You know something?I owe this to you.Thanks for always being there,and listening to all those stupid songs with me and reading the gtalk conversations,yahoo chats and laughing with me & making me realize how fake it was!I'm grateful to God that he gave me a friend like you.Thankyou for everything."

"Dish,one more philosophical funda from Disha ashram and I'm going to just call the cops to get you arrested for mental harrassment.I've always told you Start conducting lectures in Disha Ashram" :D

"Relax...This was just the trailor.I'll show you the entire movie some other day!!"

----And both of them laugh and continue their friendly conversation,leaving aside the "move on" Story...!!----

Waiting .... Waiting....!!

Knowing you're happy doesn't break my heart;
But knowing you're happy without me surely does.

Knowing you don't love me doesn't break my heart;
But knowing you love someone else surely does.....!!

And after the heartbreak I've got nothing to feel.
Now at the thought of you,dejected & alone I surely feel;
but nothing more than that-Neither love,nor hate.

Vulnerable though as I before was;
Comfortably numb as I today am
Peacefully happy tomorrow I'll surely be.....
Still awaiting that genuine person by my side to be........!!

Do Not Miss Me!!

Dear,I'll be back,
Once I'm done with my exams.

No need to be sad,No need to frown.
Oh sweetheart!Please cheer up now.
This time will also fly by soon ....

My friend,I'll soon be with you.
It's just a matter of few days.
Stay happy,take care and be cool!
Smile and make sure to be good.

Memories sweet till then you cherish,
Exams ke baad ham karenge adhuri baate sari ...

I know,it's a "stupid si poem"...

Like it/Hate it,but don't be indiferent to it!!

:)


Note:-I was getting bored while studying,which resulted in this acrostic poem!!

:D Blame my books for this "stupid-sa-idea".

Delhi 6 according to me!! :)

I had been genuinely waiting for this movie to release....Finally it released & I watched it on the first sunday.........YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

:D

The features of Delhi 6......!! ---->

The pigeon........It is soooooooooooooooooo sweet and white ;)[Had to mention about the pigeon first] :D
The music......... :-

I love the music of the movie.It's simple yet melodious.
I thought the song "Rehna Tu" must have been sung by Abhishek for Sonam...

However,it was for Delhi....he he!!

I liked the movie overall.It was a good concept.[I also appreciate the direction,photography & screenplay]

Oh ya and ofcourse,Sonam and Abhishek[Sonam first :)]

It was about the little things which are a part of India's culture,the way we(as INDIANS) take things and the way we love & care for others.

Obviously,it won't be liked by EVERYYYYYYYONE,but if you've been to Delhi and know the life there,you'll surely like it.

:)

My take :-

Watch it atleast once!

The good in Dev D!!

It was 6th February 2009.

The modern Devdas based movie Dev D had released.

It was a long-awaited movie among many of the youngsters,including my friend.

I was not very keen on watching it,but I like watching movies;and my friend insisted on watching the movie on the next day-7th February 2009......

We both were expecting the movie to be "BAD"....However,we were wrong.It was worse than we expected.

Cheap dialogues,Vulgar comments....
"Not so good" scenes and abusive words....

What I've written in thes two lines is only the highlight[Picture abhi baki hai,Ye to sirf trailor hai!!].Watching the movie is altogether a different thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But ya!!

There was something good about it....

Abhay Deol looked good[For a change].
Two dialogues were good in the movie...[ONLY TWO]
The end was better than the previous Devdas.

Also,the background score is good.

And the best part-------

EMOTIONAL ATYACHAR!!!!

I absolutely love this song.Don't ask me the reason 'cause even I'm still wondering!!

:D

I find the songs "O Pardesi" and "Ye meri zindagi" also excellent.[Woooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww]

:)

Ya I know,I know!!

There's nothing "wow" in those songs,but WHO CARES what others think!![Even my mom hates these songs!!]

It's my perception,after all!!

:-P
