haha, as expected Sanjay Dutt has been granted bail…though the bail is interim bail, he can apply for regular bail once the copy of the judgement is out..

But whatever it is, Priya Dutt’s visit to Sonia Gandhi helped!!!

Yes Yes, I know too many things in the title. Basically I want to cover all these shitty things in one post haha..

Let’s start with Tata Sky - I got Tata Sky connections at my home, the clarity is superb, sound is superb.. infact everything is superb except the fact that, it can’t work in heavy rains. Once it starts raining heavily, the signal on the box goes off. Stupid call center engineers at Tata Sky are just useless. They just reply saying, we know there is a problem and our engineers are fixing it. When I asked them, when it will be fixed, their answer is, sir, we can’t tell you that. But I know the answer, it will be fixed once the rainy season is over haha Bunch of fools try to run the business.

Hutch Network - Apart from looting the customers, hutch seem to be pretty good. Their mobile network is pretty good but when it starts raining, the network starts causing the problem. You can’t call anyone, if you want to SMS someone, you have to try more than 3-4 times. Many times, it catches frequency of some tower which is pretty far away from your place and then, you have to stick to one place, in one single position, if you wish to call. Once you move, you are gone. The voice starts cracking and phone might gets disconnected.

BMC - haha, this has become a really funny thing. Every year they claim that they are doing something but nothing happens. Government gives them huge sum of money, they use that money for their personal purpose. For public, only fraction of the amount is used. And this results into, a BIG MESS. Water till knee height on the streets, traffic jams, roads full of potholes. According to BMC, there are only 25 potholes left to be fixed. But for some reason I just counted 100 potholes on street joining my apartment. Infact, there is no road remaining, it is full of potholes.

I really don’t understand this logic, these sarkari babus, they know that, their homes are running with the money that people pay in the form of taxes but they don’t want to give anything in return. All bloody bastards.

Aaah, I guess, I should stop cursing the government. It’s not gonna of any use.

So, the point is, be it Tata Sky or Hutch, they charge us a bomb, we pay them whatever amount they ask but in return, they can’t provide a proper service. I can understand if things stop working once, twice, thrice but here, it just doesn’t work always. (at the time of heavy rains ofcourse)

Oh god, we need a revolution. 

“We are Marathas, everything we see should be in Marathi and if it is not then we won’t keep that place in proper shape” That is what so called Shiv Sainiks think and do….and this is what happened yesterday in Pune…

Shiv Sainiks attacked shops in Pune with shop names written in English…they wanted shops to have names in Marathi too…Now this is what again makes me think that “Is this what they call democracy?” These politicians are just giving dictatorship a false name of democracy…where a single party passes some rule without asking or taking public suggestion and in the end they say…the rule is created for the well being of public…

The same kind of thing had happened in Mumbai also…but I guess they did not get much success in it…

The point here is not just about naming shops in Marathi but its about forcing people to use Marathi everywhere….the names of stations and famous places have become name of Maratha king Shivaji…the statues have been replaced by Maratha king Shivaji….

Shopkeepers and theatre owners (Specially in Malls, big shop outlets and Multiplexes) are forced to keep Marathas …and if they fail to do that then “we won’t let you run your shop…we will attack on the shop…damage the glasses of the shop” this had happened here in Mulund…Shiv Sainiks had attacked shops in Mulund for not having Marathas as majority of their staff…so these kind of activities forced them to hire Marathas in the places where they do not belong….

I am not talking about the educated people here…I am talking about the ones who have no idea about the language “English” or word “Decency”..I have seen many guys in the theatre stalls more interested in talking to their colleagues rather than giving more attention to the customers…I have seen many guys shouting like road side vendors rather than having some decency…

So what I am trying to say is…to keep themselves in Mumbai…Shiv Sena should really get out of “We Maratha” world and face the reality….No one is against Marathi people but everyone should be given same importance because this Mumbai is lot more than “Marathas’ World”

Note: By this post I never meant to hurt sentiments of Maharashtrian people…It is just echo of my thoughts in the form of words…

That’s what I feel when national anthem start in the theatres. I am still trying to find out the relationship between movies and national anthem.

People say that they play national anthem to develop feeling of patriotism in people but can anyone tell me…how can it help to do so? I totally disagree with it, people stand in the theatre not because they have patriotism but they stand up because THEY HAVE TO, they stand up because everyone stands, they stand up because it’s a bloody stupid rule.

Patriotism can not be developed by force, I too have patriotism for my country and I respect my national anthem a lot but playing the same every time when I go for more movies just develops anger against the ones who have set this rule. (Do they ever take opinion of people before creating such kind of rules?)

Just imagine you went to watch some adult film like Murder, Basic Instinct or whatever and before that our national anthem starts….it feels like you have to say Jai Hind every time before watching porn (or may be semi porn) lol

No wonder if government passes the rule to play national anthem before starting any serial on TV, just to develop patriotism in everyone…

Everyone is not happy with anything and on top of that our politicians look for chance to dance whenever anything happens in the nation….this is a bit old incident (around 2 - 3 months back), I had noticed it couple of times on Mulund railway station….

At that time, government had hiked patrol and diesel rates.

So now opposition party got reason to come on the road, and that what they did, a leader from opposition party geared up with “band baja” (loud speakers and mic) and started shouting slogans against the government. There were around 10-15 people gathered around him to support him but rest of the janta was not quite happy with that morcha.

First of all they had gathered at the entrance of the station, so the entrance blocked and people have to come from other side…..2nd it was rush hour, around 7.30 in the evening…this is the time when most of the people come home and station is crowded…

In fact I also heard someone cursing them saying “Kya jab bhi kuch kaam nahi hota toh aa jate hai morcha leke” (what kind of people are they?, they start doing these kind of things whenever they are out of work) that was from the common man, for whom these politicians don’t care.

Politicians are known for these kind of morchas, whether it is any happy moment or it is sad, they will be standing around the corner with bunch of people around.

Government should have some strict rule for this, no politician or anyone should be allowed to carry these kind of morchas in crowded public places. We do not have any problem in morchas but we are just not interested in it so keep these kind of things in open ground where you and your supports can listen…if any one from general public is interested then they will attend your morcha for sure :)
