future = present !!!

Everybody wants to know the future, be it an individual, a company, an organisation or even a country.
We are so in love with the future that we easily forget to enjoy the present. We forget that the future will soon become present, and we will just spend every second of the present complaining and cribbing about a zillion things around us (Right.. So you don’t believe me? Just recall the last 6 hours and see how many times did you really feel happy and did not crib).
All these years I’ve learnt from the books, teachers , parents that man is the most intelligent being on this planet. I am sorry but I have my own doubts ... are we really intelligent???
I once read in a book that ‘man was a child before he became animal’... here my reference is towards the greatest achievement of man – THE MASS DESTRUCTION WEAPONS.
We are so busy securing the future that we continue to spoil the present. We are sowing seeds of hatred, violence & greater and huger wars.
We are so intelligent that we are actually creating stuff to kill our own selves. I mean what kind of intelligence is this? And then we also live under a constant fear of getting killed any moment any day.
Being declared to as the most intelligent we are doing the stupidest thing.
After a bomb blast, a victim said, “Sahib darr maut se nahi, maut ke tareeke se lagta hai”... he clearly referred to the attacks we have been facing in recent times.
Well gone are the days when love , peace and human values was the basic nature man , now it seems that the human values have turned to human vultures.. And here comes the saddest and heart breaking part...
Whenever any country showcases its military assets, every citizen feels a sense of power and national pride, but we forget that this bomb might just one day kill our children.
At this point i remember a few lines, from the movie BORDER, written by Shri Javed Akhtar Sahib:
“hum(india-pakistan) khetoo mein faslo ki jagah bandooke kyun boote hai ... hum khetoo mein faslo ki jagah bandooke kyun boote hai,
jab dono hi taraf kuch bhooke bachhe soote hai .. kuch bhooke bachhe soote...
mere dushman mere bhai .. mere hum saye..
aa us din ka rasta dekhe jab khil uthe tera bhi chaman ...jab khil uthe mera bhi chaman..tera bhi watan.. mera bhi watan.. tera bhi watan.. mera bhi watan.. ”

Jai Hind!!

THE F WORD

After the ban on the burqa (face veil) got the green signal from the French government, few countries have decided to protest by imposing prohibitions on French beard , VIP frenchie and French fries.

Barbers’ associations (yes, the barbaric term for a salon has been used intentionally) of these countries have been served legal notices prohibiting them from shearing a French beards for their customers. The fingers of the offenders shall be cut off, thereby imposing an unavoidable ban on the charged individuals.

Meanwhile, the Textile associations have been instructed to stop the production of Frenchie underwear and the public has been asked to switch over to kachhas. Governments have also set up booths on airports, railways stations and highways to ensure that people are obeying these regulations. Those found wearing the offending garment shall be compelled to surrender their frenchies to the authorities in full public view. While spokespersons of various textile industry tycoons have complained about loss being suffered by their enterprises, sources have caused us to believe that the government has hired a team of designers to alter the “look” of the garments already produced in a manner that would make them appear as “non-frenchie” as possible.

The teeming fast food sector has not remained unaffected by this new set of regulations. All the food joints have been ordered to stop serving French fries to their customers. Production and consumption of French fries shall be pronounced anti-national and the guilty shall be kept hungry for a period of41 days.

In retaliation the French government has hired actor Shahid Kapoor, to promote “F” based on his phonemic disorder that causes him to replace “s” with “f” while talking. Kaminey was awarded the Best Foreign Film at the French Film Festival and Shahid was felicitated with their highest Civilian honour - THE FREAKING FRENCH AWARD - for his fuperb performance in the film.

The Frenchies...oops! I mean French people all over the world have condemned this act against the French products. And have threatened to rename certain items:

BIRYANI – FRENCHIYANI

KEEMA KABAAB – FRENCHIE KABAAB

CONDOMS – FONDOMS

SHERVANI – FERVANI

The offended countries have also appealed to the masses to refrain from the usage of the letter “F”, replacing it with “S” (even in English text books). This is of serious concern for everyone, as the meaning of common sentences shall be altered. (Imagine saying, “Please Slush after using the toilet”!)

Even as Language and Phonetics experts toil to find a way out of this muddle, the UN is planning to step in and encourage both sides to arrive at a consensual solution through peaceful negotiation.

No matter which way this face-off heads, the “veiled war” shall definitely leave its mark on history.

strange INDIA!!

once a AMERICAN ATHEIST decided to visit INDIA. india being the house of all religions and gods attracted him and right after his visit to india he ran back to a church and felt sorry for his actions and thoughts which were against GOD.

ANOTHER DAY ... ANOTHER BLAST !!!!

SON : mom i am goin out to party .
MOM: no !! not at all. i won't allow you .call your friends at home.
SON : this is not done . i need to go out , i cant be in here all the day .
MOM: either stay in and live or go out and get killed. i don't want to loose my son . i remain so worried untill u come back home .
SON : mom , ill be fine , nothing will happen . i trust our govt. , police and intelligence agencies. they won't allow any mishap..
MOM: shut up !! son , a few years back i used to think the same way , but our agencies and govt . are not able to provide us with total security , thats why i am afraid, if the terriosts can attack INDIAN PARLIAMENT AND MUMBAI , thay can anyday kill anyone...
no no .. i won't allow you...

-- this is a daily life convfersation in indian homes from last few years. every time a blast takes place, govt. and several agencies come up with statements that they had the information... if they had the information then why wasn't the public informed about it, why wasn't the warnings were issued and on top of all how come the terrorists succeded?
after every blast the security is tightened , why not before the blast . we all know that terror strikes and activities have increased from last few years , as our neighbour is becoming a FULL TIME TERROR ACTIVITY CENTRE with the increasing interference of taliban. now even AL-QUIDA in coorperation with pakistans ISI are plotting terror strikes against INDIA from their land as the result of our increasing relations with the european countries.
the situation has worstened as pakistan has bluntly refused to prevent terror plots against india from pakistan and our dear ministers say it was a irresponsible statement and leaves ,other than speaking on what measures he is taking against it.
if at all they are trying to do something against it , it is clear that all the measures are still insufficient and the govt. has failed to secure its cetizens.
terror strikes are still on in the country killing hundreds of people. a lot of security is provided to the ministers with the expenditure of a handsome amount . every minister has his personal guards which comprises ofg NSG commandos as well in their security fleet .
so, now the question arises , how is the public being secured ?? in every trerror strike only innocent people are killed the ministers are always safe. so they don't feel the need . they always play with words and after few weeks everybody sleeps untill the next blast....
JAI HIND !!!

saints or netas ???

Y do we expect our netas to be saints. we want them to behave as MAHTAMA , who did not wished for any post or honour, he just wished the end of colonial rule.
But today , we cannot expect our netas to be like mahtama neither they should be . By being a saint they won't deliver anything . but there are answers that they need to deliver to us .
Well we don't care what they really are but what we do care is the answers to which they are liable.
Congress - who has been in power for more than 50 yrs. so can they finally after being in power for more than 50 yrs. deliver us the health and education policies that would provide benifits to our people with minimum literacy and healthcare ? do they have some schemes that would suceed in making our towns and cities less unsanitary , less polluted ? these are the things we need from our political leaders not any saintly behaviour . ALL WE NEED IS .... RESULT .
SO GO AHEAD CONGRESS , BJP , OR ANY OTHER COILATION GOVT. FOR YOUR LUST OF POWER BUT TELL US WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR US ?????????
JAI HIND.
