24 hours.. more than 150 people dead, more than 330 people injured.. approximately 20 – 25 terrorists, around 10 killed.. Mumbai on fire… messed up messed up situation…

I have no idea what the hell is going on with the security, I haven’t been able to sleep much.. eyes are glued to the TV all the time.. hoping for some good news but I guess, it’s going to take it’s own time…

I am still waiting to see the choppers and army guys jumping in from the rooftop but I don’t see that happening either..

I want to write more on this but for some reason, I am not able to… I am not even able to work..

May be I am disturbed with these things.. I am feeling like cutting each of them into pieces but this is never going to happen.. the ones who will be caught will be sent to the jail and they will again enjoy the free food…

Our so called Maharashtra lover politicians have decided to sit in their holes.. as it’s not safe to go out in Mumbai… may be they will come out once everything is done…

Prime Minister and Chief Minister are asking everyone to stay clam and feeling sorry for the ones who died… but no one is talking about how strictly they will deal with this..

Some of the news channels are showing about Spirit of Mumbai.. screw it guys.. screw it… screw the spirit.. I am fedup with that…

Barkha Dutt is busy in showing how army is planning to trap these bastards.. this stupid female doesn’t know that by showing secret plans, she is not going become smartest journo in the world.. she is informing terrorists with the updates so that they can communicate using satellite phones..

I guess…. I have reached the end of my random thoughts…

Let’s hope we get hold of these bastards every soon…

Jai Maharashtra.. Jai Hind..

There has been discussions going around for quite sometime over Maharashtra and Bihar issue.. infact one of my posts on this issue got really aggressive comments too but the debate does not end here…

Couple of days back. MNS activists attacked railway examination centers / students claiming they were from Bihar and Maharashtra students should be given the first priority… and they claimed that, there were no ads given in the newspaper about the exams..

But reality is quite different.. the ads were already given by the railway authorities.. the ads were given in Marathi dailies Loksatta (Mumbai, Nagpur) , Navbharat Times, Hindustan Times, Indian Express etc.. but for some reason MNS guys thought there were no ads.. so they decided to attack the exam centers..

The point of this topic is not about what MNS did.. but I am trying to bring forward the aftermath of the attacks..

Nothing much happened actually… a student died, many got injured..

The very next day… police arrests Raj Thackeray, before that.. he dares the government.. these are some of his statements:

"Arrest me and be ready to bear the consequences….you will have to regret" 

"If Raj is arrested, entire Maharashtra will be set on fire"

And actually this kind of thing happens.. after the arrest police beefed up the security but that too did not help. The goons started attacking everyone around (video).. they burnt few trucks.. damaged few taxes.. they even managed to burn the bus stop..

In short.. as per Raj’s statement.. Maharashtra was set on fire..

Now, this was about Maharashtra.. Bihar was slow on that day but today I got news that a train coach was burnt in Patna.. (apart from the attacks on other properties)

So… now the point is.. MNS guys claim that they love Maharashtrians and they are fighting to protect every Maharashtrian.. Agreed… but what happened to them while attacking the locals? The trucks… the taxis.. rickshaws.. even the bus stop… so, were they used by only north Indians? None of the Maharashtrians were using it?

Or what was the logic behind torching a train coach in Patna… none of the north Indians were using it?

The common man is suffering in this politics..these politicians brainwash young guys and uneducated guys on the name of Maharashtra and Bihar…

Apart from all these issues.. the main question still remains answered.. what will railway authority do if Maharashtrian students do not apply for the exams? (The ads were already given in the local papers)

The government should simply ban the parties conducting violence and police should use third degree torture for these guys so that this kind of incidents does not repeat.

Wake up Maharashtra.. Wake up India

I had mentioned this in many of my earlier posts and mentioning the same again this time too.. I am just fedup the way things are turning up. Political parties are screwing the common man from left and right.. the ruling government and police are doing nothing.. all we can hear is.. some head guy saying “No one can take law in their hand, we will take strict action against them” But nothing happens, these parties are already taking law in their hand but the police is like mute spectator.

A common man is suffering in this…. there is no security from these political goons.. what is tomorrow one of these guys think of implementing a funny rule and forcing people? What will happen? NOTHING..

But who is responsible for this? Apart from the police and ruling party.. Media played a bigger role in this.. they love to create issues from small things.

Day before yesterday, I was watching some Hindi news channel, it was showing Drona’s music release where Jaya Bachchan jokingly said (Video) that she will speak in Hindi as she is from UP.. Now, these channels were flashing the same thing 100 times and making it a big issue.. they showed things like “Ab kya hoga Raj Thackeray ka jawaab” (What will be reaction of MNS chief Raj Thackeray)

And the very next day, MNS chief puts a large hoarding on Bandra linking road showing ticket to Allahbad printed on it.. it said.. “The Marathi are never going to forgive you, and Shivaji Maharaja’s Maharashta is not going to forgive you either”  (Read more about it here)

And, then he decides to call a press conference and warn people about Jaya Bachchan’s statement. He uses harsh words like “The Guddi actress (She had acted in that movie)  has become old but still she hasn’t matured enough” (It was very harsh in Marathi.)

And the guy, without any fear “announces” BAN on Bachchan family movies.. also warns theatre owners about it… “Let us see who shows these films..” and he even makes fun of the gag order police issued against holding press conferences and public meetings..  “It seems that the government has extra stationary — they keep on issuing me notices. Let them issue notices, I will keep on expressing my views whenever I feel like” (Read More)

Now, these guys demand public apology for what she said.. I am 100% sure that a common man is not even bothered about it.. they are smart enough to differentiate between joke and serious statements..

So, Jaya Bachchan finally apologizes for no reason..  haha but now MNS says.. this kind of apology is not enough…. (This was being aired on news channels)

Okay, so this was about MNS..

Now, why should Maharashtra’s own party Shiv Sena stay behind.. they aimed at Shah Rukh Khan today..

Here is what sena Chief Bal Thackeray said.. “Shah Rukh says he is a Dilliwala. If you are from Delhi, then why have you come to Maharashtra”

“In southern states, the anti-Hindi campaign has been on for the last sixty years. There is a ban on Hindi films and Hindi news in Tamil Nadu. In Assam, those speaking in Hindi are killed,” it said. “Why don’t the people who boast here that they are from UP or Bihar go to these areas and unfurl the Hindi banner” (Read More)

I am not sure what he is trying to say here.. does he mean to say that, if others are doing stupidity, we should also do it?.. just for the sake of religion?

I don’t understand why these guys are fighting so much over Maharashtra or Maharashtrian language? Are they themselves Marathi? NO..

Their children are studying in ENGLISH medium school Bombay Scottish, their grand son is making HINDI music album.. they have their sites in ENGLISH (or partially in English), so on what basis they are saying that they are Maharashtrians?

They want people to speak in Marathi, they want Bombay names to be changed to Mumbai but they do not want to admin their children in Marathi school, they do not want their Children to cut a Marathi album..

Why they understand that Religion should be kept at home.. I am Gujarati, you might belong to some other cast but when we are on the street, we are INDIANS not Maharashtrian or Gujarati or any other cast..

Doing cheap things like this is not going to lead us anywhere, it will divide Maharashtra..

Politics has reached at such a bad level that these politicians do not care about anything.. all they want is vote bank.. they don’t care how much it harms the common man or the country…

Shiv Sena Website - (Mostly in Marathi but partially in English too)

MNS Vidyarthi Sena Website - (Totally in English.. earlier this site was used as MNS’s main website)

WOW!! sounds stupid right? Hell, yeah.. it is stupid. But not for Mumbai traffic police. They decided to put ban on playing music in the car.. WHY? Well, for the safety of the drivers and to avoid accidents.

According to them, there are high chances of getting distracted if you are listening to the music in the car. No, I am not talking about loud music, this stupid rule applies to soft music too..

Still don’t believe me? Check it yourself on Mid-Day site here. Quoting part of the article here:

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic, Suburban) S M Sabde said, "Talking on the mobile phone while driving distracts the driver. As does listening to music." He added that those guilty of playing music in a car will be fined Rs 500 under Section 190 (2) of the Motor Vehicles Act, which deals with violation of standards of road safety, control of noise and air pollution.

Why did the cops suddenly decide to crack down on music? "The law always existed. All we are doing is follow it seriously, to prevent losing innocent lives. I have already instructed traffic policemen in my jurisdiction (Mahim to Dahisar) to be extra cautious about such violators. We will come down heavily on them in the coming days," Sabde reiterated.

And it’s not just loud music that will call for a fine. "The driver will be charged a fine, if he is found playing music - loud or soft." Sabde said.  "Music is a hindrance to safe driving. The driver cannot hear the horns. Paying attention to music could lead to accidents," he concluded.

So, stop playing music in the car.. and start obeying to this STUPID rule.

The scene in our country is, if couple of top guys feel, something wrong according to them, they make a rule for it..

It’s really bad situation currently in the country, it is ruled by these illiterate idiots . We really need to wake up and do something.

shop_letter_zoom_hl

Confused?

Well, this letter was sent to all the shop owners in our area.. this one is regarding the rule of having shop names in Maharashtrian language. The rule was passed by BMC in 1960.

And this letter?

Well, it was sent by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS).

So what does this letter say?

You would have understood if you know to read Marathi. But for the ones who cannot understand Marathi.. here we go..

(I am translating the whole thing, specially the highlighted areas as a summary.)

By not putting your shop hoarding in Marathi, you are insulting Maharashtra & a common Maharashtrian man, which is a sin / not legal. On behalf of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, we are giving you period of 1 month to put up the boards in Marathi. (As this law was already passed in 1960)

And if you do not change your boards in Marathi and do not speak Marathi with your customers, we will make sure we teach you Marathi in our terms and I will personally take care of the things.

If you do not take this warning seriously then we will make sure that how to tackle you. It’s better you understand this and implement in a month, otherwise we know how to handle the issue.

I am not able to understand who authorized them legally to send these kind of threatening letters to anyone.

The things they have mentioned might be right but the way it’s been put up is completely wrong and unethical. And apart from that, our current ruling government is allowing this kind of “dadagiri”.

I am really worried about the future of our country, every political party is running behind the votes. No security for a common man. And I am not even sure, how a common sensible man will vote for them? (After seeing all these things)

And we call it Democracy.. haha
