Struggle -truce - struggle debate

After the civil disobedience movement ended in around 1934, there was a ideological war waged between Nehru and Gandhi. Nehru had a different vision for independence i.e. he believed that after any struggle of this sort the immediate goal should be VICTORY. Nehru had his own perceptions about things. Gandhi believed that Masses are not prepared for any more struggle right away, instead they should involve themselves into constructive work and strengthen themselves, energize themselves for the next one. Masses should involve themselves into parliamentary work, education, empowerment and every other constructive activity.

Nehru was completely against it and presented his S-V strategy i.e. struggle-victory while Gandhi completely believed that masses are not prepared for another exhaustive struggle. Gandhi gave the theory of STS i.e. Struggle -Truce- Struggle. Finally Nehru did realised that he was wrong. This incident is very eventful because every person goes through different sorts of struggle many a times in life but what needs to be remembered is that after every struggle whether it gets converted into success or failure there should be time where one should wait, hold and then move with the experience learned. Any person can be in any of these phases either Struggle, Truce or Victory. Sometimes its best to be in that "truce period" where what matters is how much you can hold on to what you have and what you are longing for...

BED EFFECTS(bad effects) of a GOOD FACE...

Liberated libidos,the care a damm attitude, the insatiable sexual appetite, infidel relationships and monotonous lifesyle devoid of thrill and fun are the causes and symptoms of a "BED EFFECTS"(bad effects). What i percieve might be completely wrong but everybody is alone from the very within. The isolated SELF has enormous fantasies, desires and wishes which gets stored in the archives of our unconscious mind, which ultimately gets manifested whenever our REAL SELF gets a chance.

Any cute face approaching a frustrated heart due to plethora of reasons as we all know can end up creating another frustrative relation which ultimately gave us stress. Even in ancient days when vatsyayana had pen down The Kamasutra the desire for the ultimate pleasure was known but maybe the reasons were not the same & its the reasons which we should fear the most. The one thing i regret among the masses of today is the Loss of strength of character which is not found among people. The hypocrisy with which we people live today has reached abysmally low. Again there might be different perceptions aas to what i am writing but i strongly feel its a big viscious cycle we land ourselves into which lays the trap for the forthcoming problems. The only respite is the choices we make in life, that is the right choice in terms of choosing a job, career, lifepartner, and everything else which can ease out things in times of crisis.

Not at all preaching, but i think Life is always beautiful and No conditions apply...Its never too late for the right things you want to do...But i believe that one should keep on taking Risk in life the last thing which would happen is we will fail...thats it...but one should keep on walking, running and rising again...

Anything to everything...

Oscar Wilde once said that "one should be in love every time and if so, one need not marry". Not an axiom in any sense but to be honest there lies some truth in what he said. Whenever i go to a public place and find a couple torn fully separated in every possible way and still living together, sharing the same bed, same lives & same children looks disenchanted in every respect. Basically I think you can love anyone at anytime if you are open to ideas, perspectives and most important without prejudices of thoughts and not person. Life and love both are the most simplest things available if we are at our natural best with complete honesty and unadulterated from within. At the end you just need that one person in the world who can understand what you say and what you dont say. though difficult to find as we all are driven by bounded rationality, as i dont know there must be someone in Brazil who can understand me very well, so it is true for China, Russia, Japan, US and most beautiful country so how can i decide that whatever i perceive is the only thing i can get and nothing else... I dont know but i cannot get that logic...

"Guzarish"---pre-view

What matters the most? Quality or Quantity? Different answers for different for different aspects. Maybe Quantitative quality or Qualitative Quantity? But when it comes to portraying an art form, there cannot be any compromise.

The promos of "Guzarrish" are so enchanting and seductive in every form of art that it requires every form of applause. Its going to be cult of a film without any doubt. Mr Bhansali has once again produced a masterpiece working with one of the most expressive actors of modern indian cinema, Hrithik roshan.Producing an art form of this level where every scene of the movie is so meticulously produced that it questions the bounded limitations the human mind has ever seen.
What needs to be revered the untiring efforts of Ram Gopal Verma in creating a list of movies despite unrevered accolades and Mr Bhansali whose Cult cinemas produces masterpieces whenever he wants it to make. That's Quality over quantity.Definitely not at all questioning any form of art produced by the talented Directors but what finally matters is that one thing in life which matters the most.

Its all about that one thing which matters the most, may it be anything. The moment of innermost revulsion's is the greatest quest which one should strive for. And Guzzarish the way it has been portrayed is worth experiencing rather than just watching it.
the way i see, it does touch every art form and the greatest form of art ever produced is ofcourse Humans---which remains to be discovered...

Socrates once said that its almost fatal to spread rumours about things which we have heard and its genuineness is not known. This has been the case with J&K since the political upheaval fuelled by seccionist forces with divisive tactics is thriving. Let me discuss some of the relevant issues which are in news. In Administration, majority people should be satisfied because you cannot please everybody and thats a universal axiom. So, Omar abdullah's persistent efforts in bringing tranquility in the State should be appreciated because sitting in an AC lounge sipping a drink in Mumbai TV studio or travelling in a Bangalore bus or in Delhi's metro commenting and raising fingers on anybody's efforts without knowing the true picture is Bad Democracy we have imbibed.

We should repose our Faith and trust in Omar abdullah's way of governance and Centre's not so pro-active policies for the time being. Loud clamouring about the Separate kashmir is baseless because except few seccesionist group which are specifically funded by Pakistan there are no such demands. Youth are always rebellious otherwise they should not be a part of Youth. They are dissatisfied because there is lack of development, dearth of job opportunities, social infrastructure lacking, feeling of alienation from India and many minor issues. But as said by someone that " Development being the best contraceptive" the Government's effort should be to bring the Kashmiri youth into mainstream Administration, mainstream politics, and mainstream India where it may give out an image of Kashmir and its people being a part of India.

Those who demand for seperate kashmir are oblivion of the fact that if that at all happens they end up being a part of Voracious China or Failed Pakistan ultimately ending like Afghanistan whose political stability is still in doldrums. If viewed rationally Kashmir's maximum revenue is generated by tourism, courtesy Amarnath Yatra, Vaishnavdevi Temple, Honeymoon hotspots like Leh, ladakh, gulmarg, Srinagar and many more, even the majority kashmiris do not want to get seperated from India's as it is not in there own interest.
Scrapping of Article 370 which gives J&K a seperate constitution and Constituent assembly should which has been one of the Election manifesto of NDA government should not be discussed now amidst the political turmoil in the valley.
AFSPA(Armed Forces Special Powers Act) which the poeple wants to get removed is neither a problem nor a solution to this unending violence. The troops which are stationed in the valley are for the protection of the people and maintaining law& order which may dissatisfy few but withdrawing it would bring more devastation inthe valley because the insurgency of any terrorist forces or from pakistan army wont be a surprise. National human Rights commission should understand that Administration cannot run pleasing everybody and we are not an EU nation where peace prevails most of time with not intrusive nature. If removed we may see another Kargil anytime which is not wanted. The government can amend some of the clauses in the Rule to make it more human so that no more innocent people are being killed and women are not raped or harrassed. Stern actions should be taken against such officers and should be court martialed but still withdrawing of AFSPA is not recommended.

Those in Authority should be respected, as they know best about J&K, about its people, demography, problems then we people who are always ready to comment. Are our Family problems solved by outsiders? The central governement should continue supporting the NC government and take apt actions.

Kitchen cabinet became popular during Indira Gandhi's reign. It consisted of small coterie of advisors, friends, relatives and close confidante. They had usurped the power of the Cabinet Secretariat, PMO as well as other constitutional institutions. But that is the convention even followed today where most of the decisions are taken at 10, Janpath Road, Delhi. Thats somewhat acceptable, lets put it that way. This is one of those colonial legacies which we have inherited from the british.The phenomenon which i have realised which existed since the evolution of Adam & Eve among the so called informed indians is the Nookkad Cabinet. At every corner, every human dwelling, any thought stimulating conglomeration, corporate houses, bus queue, que where in people are standing to relieve themselves, kitty parties and every other human existence which may be beyond my rational there is Nookkad Cabinet. The Expressive Indian, which sometimes is the bestest fruit of Democracy in India and also sometimes these Expressive Indians make us envious of the Chinese communist Government where everything is at the behest of law and order.
Once i went to a Tea corner in the city and overheard few people discussing everything right from films to politics.Felt really glad that people are so much informed and discussing the topics of urgent public concern. I heard someone saying that "Omar abdullah has proved to be a weak CM and there should elections again in the valley". Surely i didnt judge the comment but just asked one question to myself as to before even having concrete evidences, knowledge about the situation and coming to a conclusion is not only wrong but fatal to the over all culture we are spreading .I think every person is quite knowlegable in its own way and capable of taking a rational decision.Rather than respecting the position the person is in let us not be oblivion of the fact that we too have our problems and there can be some people always who would be commenting, criticising, reasoning our lifestyles. Lets stop spreading these culture where we become a liability as an Expressive Indian.It really feels so empowering when we hardly have comprehensive knowledge about any situation and still not only do we comment, but we also a solution for it. A family which consist of just 4 people still have chaos, differences, and problems in their houses which can give them a feeling of a chronic migrane all their life, still we feel it so easy to comment about a State where almost crores of people are living and to manage a better governance out it is to my knowledge is not an easy job. Nookkad Cabinet is always a desirable way of providing checks and balances to the Goverment but still let us reinstate our faith in the Constitution, people at top and be patient.Because Revolution starts from within.

If know God then ONE God, but If Many Gods then NO God...

An official chinese citizen who is officially atheist wouldnt be believing in God, destiny or say Karma? Whenever i pass by a temple i just wonder as to whom should i worship the IDLE God(IDOL God) or His creations. Should i bow my head to an Idol in the temple who as perceived by indians also sometimes drinks milk or should i inherit the basic values of humanity for what i am over here. Have you ever seen a carnivore eating grass? The fundamental characteristic of any being should never be lost, isnt it? And so in worshipping an Idol which to me is Idle relinquishing my fundamental characteristics of Being human is a hypocrisy where we cheat nobody but ourselves. I might be wrong, but its not my rational, reasoning, logical mind which says this. But may be the way " The God " has been interpreted unnerves me. Its not that i have not seen God so i dont believe Him, thats logical but puerile and not me atleast. To be precise, humanity is the religion and its creation the God. Building a billion dollar akshardham or a million dollar church or a mosque is like deminishing the human value within a God.

During Idd, i visited a mosque with a friend of mine who is a muslim. Definetely would be considered an act of blashphemy by many but then I felt nothing anomalous. Just felt the same as I visit a Hindu temple. Not at all a devout Hindu by any means, but yes what i have institutionalised is that God does not reside in the temple, mosque or church. All those are institutional mechanisms for the society to follow a norm, which is civilised in its form and acceptable by the society. The purest form of God which i have come across other than the 99.9% glittered gold idol god, is a child. If you pick up an infant, thats when You can truly say that God is in your hand because of that innocence, un corrupt, innocuous non envious heart which the God is born with...
