&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13;"  &gt;

But there was more thing about which I had a wrong idea ( frankly speaking I am ashamed of it now)….condom.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;It was around class 5 or 6 that I started to hear the words AIDS and condom a lot&lt;i&gt;.“ Use condom and prevent AIDS”&lt;/i&gt; all great personalities said on the T.V (even Shabana Aazmi). &lt;i&gt;Arrey boss. First tell us what the hell is a condom&lt;/i&gt; . &lt;i&gt;Nobody bothers about that , do they?&lt;/i&gt; Till class 10th I thought condom was a tablet. &lt;i&gt;Can you believe it? &lt;/i&gt;Shame on me and shame on all those T.V people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13;"  &gt;But how was I to think otherwise? These condom ads, they just show a man and a woman kissing each other, then the camera moves towards a pink silk cloth on which two semi black packets are kept . alongside is a candle. And then it says &lt;i&gt;“KAMASUTRA CONDOMS….. for the wild beast in you”&lt;/i&gt; and then there is Sachin Tendulkar . He came up every now and then to say &lt;i&gt;,” SAIYAM RAKHO, BANO WAFAADAAR ,KARO CONDOM KA ISTEMAAL….”&lt;/i&gt;.My highly scientific and analytical brain concluded that since Sachin was asking kids to take the Polio drops, he also wanted married couples to take condom tablets to prevent AIDS. That made me believe that condom was a tablet that somehow prevented AIDS by blocking your nose or otherwise (rubbing of nose used to make babies for me...see Part 1). &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13;"  &gt;The final confirmation had come when I was on a bus and on the way I saw a huge billboard…totally black with the following words on it , &lt;i&gt;DELUXE CONDOMS…..now in strawberry flavor&lt;/i&gt; . Underneath was the picture of a beautiful woman showing her bare back. Alongside her was written &lt;i&gt;,” I am in the mood for something special tonight.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13;"  &gt;From all this STUFF , I made two landmark conclusions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;First &lt;/span&gt;, condom was a tablet which prevented AIDS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Second&lt;/span&gt; , it came in different flavors , which flavor to eat was decided by the woman’s mood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13;"  &gt;I must tell you that I was pretty confident about these concepts for a really long time. The real jolt came in class 10 when Paintal Ma'am taught the reproductive system. Though the book was utterly useless with sketchy details ( as if the author himself was a censor board panelist) it made two things very clear to me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;First&lt;/span&gt;, producing babies involved a touch more than rubbing your noses. Rubbing noses only transmitted influenza microbes...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Second&lt;/span&gt;, bellybutton and belly lock were wrong concepts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13;"  &gt;It was later in class 12 that I understood in detail that a sperm and an ovum with chromosome number n each fuse to form a 2n zygote which later swells up to become a baby. I think my concepts improved about 75 percent( the rest 25 % were those intricate portions which I don’t think our C.B.S.E books had the courage to clarify on). And yes I understood that condom was not a tablet. I think the last concept was the single biggest achievement of my Biology learning.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13;"  &gt;To come back to the point. there were a lot of things in “ THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM” that I did not understand..still I managed to get away with it . As a matter of fact, my Biology paper was set very intelligently by some Government School teacher( I dont know why they gave the opportunity to set the board paper to those fuckin’ faggots). I'll tell you what these Govt School teachers do?…They usually have the sample copies of JPH Guide, U LIKE Sample papers and CBSE Sample Papers sets which they get free of cost…with each book having 100 times more knowledge than their entire clan. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;These greedy teachers are very fond of getting free samples of everything ( No offence meant to the any Govt school teacher reading this blog :P) . They mix the questions from all the stuff they are having and make the Final Paper! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13;"  &gt;So I looked at the last 10 years question papers. Paper setters thought, they played smart…But the students are a lot smarter than them…I noted that two questions SPERMATOGENESIS, and OOGENESIS were set alternatively each year. Last year was spermatogenesis , so I mugged up oogenesis. I also mugged up 10 different ways of population control because that question was set earlier in my pre boards. When I got my paper ,I quickly turned the page to look at question number 11. Bingo ! Oogenesis~!!. I thanked God , cursed Bollywood and started writing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13;"  &gt;To tell you the truth , from where I started …… I have learned a hell lot. At least now I know that when a dog is onto a bitch in the middle of the road they are as I would have said a long time back “ rubbing their noses”. These days I only say &lt;i&gt;“ YEH TO BADA TOING HAI.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ishanwadi.blogspot.com/2010/01/unveiling-most-embarrassing-secrets-of.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ishu)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241876270835162468.post-7518711343263144346</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 Jan 2010 13:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-12T08:09:36.941-08:00</atom:updated><title>Unveiling most embarrassing secrets of My Life- Part 1</title><description>&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

I was a wannabe Engineer and I started the preparations for the Competitive Examinations from class 12&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; itself…ya…it was early for me but not for other students of my age who started preparing from class 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;....but did it matter, the end result was same for all of us….B Grade Engineering college with retard teachers and stuff…..My maternal grandmother used to say &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“Mera Ishu toh IIT mein Jaayega” &lt;/span&gt;that time I was aware of my capabilities and I used to laugh and &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;reply&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;” Haan Haan, Uda Lo Mazaak”&lt;/span&gt;....though I went to IIT later….with the only difference that it was Junior-IIT rather…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;So I was telling you about My Half yearly exams right!!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;My datesheet was made in heaven, I mean they gave us ample time for preparations (two holidays before each exam)…..Though &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;my preparations for my Biology exam in my half yearlys were pretty decent.but those fucktards gave the most difficult chapter thatz the Reproductive system in the Half Yearlys itself and I knew that this chapter would pose the ultimate trouble ,as it had done earlier in class 10. Why I dreaded this chapter has a bit of history attached to it like all other things in my life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Bollywood, it was all due to bollywood ,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; What usually happens in a b’wood&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Movie..I’ll tell you..The basic plot of ninety percent of the b'wood movies is:- Boy meets girl, strict father finds out, girl is locked away then either kills herself (mainly due to intolerable pain of heartbreak and thrashings from the father) or runs away with that boy..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;..finally getting married or not..it depends...But what it did was develop my poor concepts on Reproduction.They just don’t show the intricacies, do they? And when some brave film maker dares to bare, these dumbasses in the censor board cut all the educational scenes.( Oh how I wish to be on that god damn censor board). So after all the Hindi films that I saw my scientific mind observed that there were two possible methods ( only two mind you!) by which a baby emerged from a woman’s tummy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;First&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;,the man and his wife marry. On the night of their marriage she brings milk. He drinks it. She smiles. They rub their noses together and wallah! Its done. The next scene, the woman vomits ,asks for tamarind , her belly swells and a child pops up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Second&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;, a boy and a girlfriend meet in the park then they go behind a bush or a tree. The bush or the tree shakes. The girl starts puking in the morning and her father says&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;” KALMUHI…...TUNE HUMAARE KHAANDAAN KI NAAK KATWA DI .”&lt;/span&gt; The girl goes for an abortion (only in Kya Kehna , Priety Zinta had the guts to give birth to a child).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Based on these observations my scientific and highly analytical brain made the following conclusions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;First&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;, rubbing of nose or shaking of the trees is the most important part of a child’s birth. If you don’t do either of the two things you cannot produce a baby.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Second&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; a woman should never tell her husband that she is to give birth to a baby , she has to convey it by mannerisms and not speech. So either she can vomit or she can ask for tamarind ,or she can put a picture of a baby on the wall and point out to that picture when her husband returns from office. I also noted that the men behaved in two different ways listening to this news. If the marriage was legal the husband would be pretty happy and hug her wife. If , however, the boy and girl were unmarried, the boy would sweat like a pig I loved it whenever I used to see the boy in such trouble….serves you right for rubbing your nose without marrying I thought!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Third&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;, the only possible way out for a baby was a woman’s belly button. The doctor had the keys of the belly button. After nine months when the baby knocked the hell out of her mother, she would be taken to a hospital , the doctor would open the belly lock with the keys ( how he got the keys was a mystery to me) and pull the baby out and then lock the woman’s belly once again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;So Here is the Conclusion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Nobody in India likes to discuss these things, if you dared to do it, you were thought to be a pervert. Hence I did not. To tell you the truth till class 10. I was pretty sure that these conclusions were right just as Newton’s laws of Motion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;-To Be Continued&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Wait for my next post to know more about…how my bollywood paper..I mean biology paper was and in spite of all this how I managed to score good marks in biology and my Biological journey from Half yearlys to Boards….&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;

I am not going to do it. I am just trying to take your attention towards reality and make you think what you should think. I am not saying you should not admire them or their work but just give them exactly that much assiduity that they really deserve. Hope you get my point. If not then you have no choice, Read On!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Its all about the Money!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Money Money....Money Money Money....crap!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;These people are not doing any social work by acting in films. Its all about the Money. So why don't we treat acting as any other damn Job. The point I am trying to make here is that Acting is the most overrated profession in history. For instance leave that aside, Moving on we just have a bunch of very fine actors present in the film industry but the actresses of today are really nothing more than a piece of shit. no doubt they are one of the beautiful creatures on planet earth, but when it comes to acting, they suddenly go numb, we see them acting well only if the director is smart enough to make them work real hard and then also we admire them for the job that they dont even know In other words they are overrated, that proves my point .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I am again saying that I am not against acknowledging their work but what I am against is giving them divine status.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Just Imagine..Suppose by any means Shah Rukh Khan or any other overrated Jabroni visits your home and asks for some monetary help( Let )...Will you deny??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Never!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;and Imagine a war widow or the siblings of a Martyr Kargil Hero visit your home for some help..Whom you will prefer helping??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;But thats not the answer I was looking for!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Just have a look at their salaries or wages rather....Now ask yourself Do they actually deserve?. There wont be any single being saying yes which is the truth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;These Jabronies just work a few hrs a day and that too under the conditions laid by them and what they get is mass popularity and hell lotta black money. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Take any other damn Profession in public or private sector and compare it with their job and the difference is easily noticeable, the same difference which is between heaven n hell...Am I talking too much? Thatz the truth and we can't deny it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;This is the only reason why the youth of today( including me :P) is attracted towards this industry. Today, there are just a bunch of people who wants to join army on their will....rest all are either compelled which are again very few or others which have no option other than joining army this is a very mortifying act and disgrace to the country. If there would be such monetary attention seeking oppurtunities in the army and other jobs which are helpful in the development of the country by any means there would be numbers attracted towards these jobs and which would be good for the country as well....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Now Lemme ask a Question...today as the nation is celebrating the Xth Anniversary of the Kargil War Victory there would be a handful of people who actually remember that what were the circumstances those days, how the country was managing stuff etc....and others will have to give a hell lotta stress on their unidirectional minds to remember just the names of the soldiers killed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;These people know about the Filmfare awards but very few of them know which is the highest Gallantry award given by Indian Army...those who dont know its the PARAM VEER CHAKRA.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I am not saying that Indian Army is underrated but it is rightly rated, that much attention is given to them, what should be given. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;We treat all actors as Stars...We call them talented...But for instance ask yourself....Is this the real talent..Hell No!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;The real talent does not lie in the film indsutry. It lies with each and every individual who provides a tiny help in development of the nation including the army, navy , air force, those people have sleepless nights just to make us have a sound sleep...The talent lies in the Agricultural Sector the farmers etc those people spend hours managing stuff there.... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Admire the Film Industry, being a fan is not a crime but at the same time do not forget that there are other deserving people too, By our little appreciation of their work they get motivated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Dont Ignore them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;The Indian Film industry is not at all worth of the attenntion that it gets..Its the Fact!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;All Hail Kargil war Heroes!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Hail Indian Army!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;- To Be Continued&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://ishanwadi.blogspot.com/2009/07/bollywood-actors-bunch-of-overrated.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ishu)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241876270835162468.post-269109192064601115</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-24T04:10:18.714-07:00</atom:updated><title>What Where When and Why?</title><description>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The Following abstract has been modified and is taken from my First Book which is titled "&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Hoping against Hope-A Tale of Destiny and Triumph &lt;/span&gt;" which is yet to be published.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;hat is the problem with these&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt; four W's&lt;/span&gt;. Whenever any one of these words is present whether in Question Paper or anywhere else it is an indicator of the thing which is known as 'Problem'..yaa....Pee Aar O Be Al E Am...Problem and which needs to be solved asap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;How many of you ever Questioned others about the existence of this world, about your existence, about The Creator of this Universe and How everything in this Universe takes place so perfectly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Who is behind the scenes?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;You will call him GOD...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;GOD..Who??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Is GOD the one Who lives hundreds of thousands of millions of Miles above the earth or GOD is the one who resides beneath the earth or in some other Planet..Hell No&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;There is not a single Homo Sapien who has a grain size info about it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Have you ever thought Why We all are Created , I mean What is the exact reason. Who gave the order and What is the need....In fact our civilization had flourished by just asking “why?”. So, could there be any race superior to ours? No? Why? I mean, why not?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Are We a part of some Assignment or Project that was given to some Super Human Being and How small are we as compared to the one who is behind us, I am not talking about the size but We don't know such things or We are not made to know such things&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;So Why the man(Let) behind the scenes dont make us aware about his identity. All these Questions are very Fascinating. They will take you to a different world altogether. You can keep on dreaming them and I gurran'damn'tee that you will forget everything else.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Man had been intrigued by what happened to him within his noticable domains…sensible right? So, he went about in search of the answers as to why they happened and then he found that the answers were really senseless leading to another question and then yet another. While we were busy knowing how the birds fly, we failed to ask why the birds fly…The answer is to move? Why should anything move? How did, in the first place, movement come into existence and what is existence? This is when I feel a hint of a superior civilization to ours(which you people call GOD), which created the small domain that we call ‘the universe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;We invented everything ranging from a small needle or a ball point pen to Aircrafts, Space Stations ,from hardware to software and from wars to natural calamities! What ability was it or What was the power which helped us to do all these Elephantine tasks. May be we were made to do all these…which seems absolutely correct ,may be all this is what we call in human as an experiment or an Assignment/Project which I was refering to earlier. May be we are all controlled…yes we are..no second opinion required...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Now Moving On...Everything is said to have formed from big bang. How and Why did big bang occur? May be it was the start of this experiment on us or on what we call our ‘world’, rather.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;The Person who is doing all these stuff is aware that we are unaware of the fact that He is making all of us do that we are actually doing....Its slight confusing statement and I surely could frame it in a better way but who has the time to do it...It doesnt matter..Read on...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;or in other words why don’t we know that we are being controlled...ya this one is better..Darn, I wasted two lines in writing a stupid statement that could be framed in a simpler way..Dammit!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Read on...Well let me ask you something-does a computer program actually ‘know’ that it is being controlled by the computer? Does the computer really know that it is being controlled by the chip within? Does a computer chip know it is being controlled by various elements? It is something similar to all these. and if you have brains you can easily get it but if you are a Brainless Jabroni then I am not sorry. Everything around us happens as it happens today because it is probably ‘run’ that way. Have you ever wondered why a body has to move in the direction of force applied on it and not against it? Why does force even exist? Why does energy exist? Why are all these elements of nature immortal unlike us? If we try to talk in a programmer’s language, may be force energy and matter were like library functions in a language called ‘universe’ that were used to create programs which govern how things are supposed to happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;So What actually happens or What is simply My Conclusion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;What I Fink is we are still trying to know the codes of these programs ignoring what lies beneath…what made these codes…another dimension we fail to think in, a dimension were rationality fails to exist, where our universe is simulated on a ‘computer’ and when the power supply is cut, we simply do not exist!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Thats the bottom Line...Cause The Great One Said So!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://ishanwadi.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-where-when-and-why.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ishu)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241876270835162468.post-90084116178772225</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-03-02T23:12:04.250-08:00</atom:updated><title>Bringing the Attitude Era Back</title><description>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"You sit there and you thump your &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bible&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;, and you say your prayers, and it didn't get you anywhere!

Always have, and always will. Believe me when I say this ,Give me Stone Cold's beer truck and Rock's awesome promos and Y2J and Stephanie McMahon acting like teenagers picking on each other again, and I would buy a ticket every single time. I'm as sick of the PG Era as I am of Ric Flair.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;What is Vince's Point of View of not bringing the Attitude Era Back?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1). As much as I want Vince and the writers to go back to what made them so popular, you have to understand that vince isnt trying to hook my generation anymore (i'm 20) he's trying to hook the next generation because they are the future of wrestling. what vince is doing now is no different from what the major sports teams do: Rebuild. Vince is trying to rebuild the fan base and the fan interest and rebuilding may take up to 3 or 4 years. Lets say, for example, vince is trying to hook the 9 or 10 year old. These kids just want a hero like John Cena or Batista to be beaten like hell in the whole match and then the combination of  4-5 moves give them victory in no time. But thatz not their fault, they are lkids afterall!! I think it may take vince 3 or 4 years to actually hook them onto his product before going back to the "glory days". yes, most of us who grew up during the attitude era are suffering, the matches aren't that great, some of the superstars are getting stale, and the feuds are just as bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; Back in the 80's and early 90's, vince appealed to both young and old fans. what changed was when wcw started competing with the wwf. bischoff started getting vince's guys to sign with him and started the monday night wars. vince's response was the attitude era. vince wanted to win the ratings war and would have done anything to get the ratings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vince is a Legend, He is a Perfect Buissinessman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; The only way we could see another attitude era is if TNA or ROH starts beating the wwe in rating within a year and a half. but i don't see that happening since TNA won't push anyone younger than 35 and ROH just started doing weekly TV tapings a few months ago. Guess we're stuck with the PG WWE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;2). They don't have the characters, they don't have the wrestlers to bring back that era. I'm not saying that you HAVE to have a SCSA or a Rock to bring back that era but you do need overly charismatic characters and you need at least one huge new guy to push to lead that era. Someone that the people could get behind and want to cheer no matter what. The WWE did have that person in Kennedy but he got released. Other than that there is nobody else out there in WWE that can do it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; People will say Cena... but the thing is... for the Attitude to work... you have to appeal to the teenage demographic, not the kids cause the kids aren't going to really get it as well as the teens would. And since Cena doesn't appeal to the teens as they majority hate him while the kids love him... Cena can't be the face if there was to be a new attitude era.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; Then on top of that you also need new faces, new faces that have potential to rise to the top. Thing is... there are far more components to make a successful era that could rival the Attitude era that just aren't there... but the most important aspect needed is a rival company. WWF had WCW to push them to try cause well... WWF almost had to fold. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; TNA isn't even a blip on the radar and ROH... ROH is a smaller blip than TNA so WWE doesn't have to do anything "good" to stay afloat because right now they are doing just fine. They've moved on from our generation and are feeding the next generation. But when WWE starts to really feel threatened again ... surely they'll start to up things again and make it a lot more watchable than it is now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                                            ---------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Conclusion :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;So here is a list of things about the ATTITUDE ERA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;1). I miss the attitude era most because of The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. If those two guys, two of the most famous wrestlers to ever step in the ring, returned... then I wouldn't have complained about the attitude era. I know a lot of people like the earlier storylines, but I don't see what's so good about them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; I used to like the important aspects of it, like the greatest introduction of all time, with Jericho coming out for the first time against The Rock. that promo was gold, and it was great catching up with it on Youtube years later. I know that there are a few great promos from the Attitude Era, and some great matches from that time period as well. The Hell in a Cell between Shawn Michaels and Undertaker was really good too, people say it was a great match. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;Y2J was an awesome force during the Atitude Era. We saw Stephanie practically grow up on TV during the AE, including her wedding to Test and her drive-thru wedding with Hunter. We saw HHH and HBK do their stuff, and Road dogg who rhymed all the time. We had TLC Matches and Edge and Lita and APA. I could go on and on, but I won't.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; We saw better storylines, and better tag-teams during the AE, and the ppl who had the belts kept the belts longer than two weeks at a time. The belts weren't passed around like hot potatoes like they are now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; When I compare the WWE now to the WWE during the AE, there is a huge difference, and there always will be.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;Its just Austin and The Rock..thats it...I dont give a shit abt anyone else&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; It WAS the greatest Wrestling ERA ever, don't try to deny it, because when asked most real wrestling fans (and I mean real, by people who have watched wrestling most of their lifes) will say this exact same thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3). People loved it because of *takes deep breath* SCSA, The Rock, Chris Jericho, HHH, HBK, Undertaker (biker gimmick), The Hardys, The Dugleys, E&amp;amp;C, ect. This list goes on for a freaking week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4). Yes it had a lot more entertainment moments and less wrestling moments than wrestling had PROBALY ever had before, but the things about this where. Those entertainment moments where actually funny, and the wrestling that was done was freaking awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5). Vince McMahon let himself get stunned and/or attacked regularly. This might not seem like much but look up videos of him getting attacked back in those days. Pretty big pops.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;It's dead, GET OVER IT! There's no other way to put that. The single best era ever in wrestling is dead and gone and we fans of it need to move on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; We all know that Attitude Era wont be back, but fuck, saying current period of PG shit is better than Attitude is fucking moronic.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;So We will End this from where it all started..I mean&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"You sit there and you thump your &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bible&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;, and you say your prayers, and it didn't get you anywhere! Talk about your Psalms, talk about &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;John 3:16&lt;/i&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;... Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;RIP Attitude!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;</description><link>http://ishanwadi.blogspot.com/2009/07/bringing-attitude-era-back.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ishu)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241876270835162468.post-6825871003446305054</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2009 11:16:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-06T05:16:12.130-07:00</atom:updated><title>The Montreal Screwjob</title><description>&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Characters Involved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;1) Vincent Kennedy McMahon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;2) The Show Stopper, The Main Event , The Icon ,Mr Wrestlemania The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels Hickenbottom&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;3) The Poor Guy...Bret' The Hitman' Hart&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;4) The Ref Earl Hebner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;5) 70 Thousand People cheering for Bret in his hometown.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;The Montreal Screwjob was the real life double-crossing of defending WWF Champion Bret Hart by Vince McMahon, the owner of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), during the main event match of the professional wrestling pay-per-view event Survivor Series held on November 9, 1997 at the Molson Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. A secret change of the match's pre-determined finish (known as a "shoot screwjob" in professional wrestling parlance) was devised by McMahon and discussed with Hart's match opponent, Shawn Michaels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;The plan was executed when the match referee, Earl Hebner, under orders from McMahon, called for the bell to ring and ended the match as Michaels held Hart in the Sharpshooter submission hold (Hart's signature finishing move), even though Hart had not submitted. Michaels was declared the victor by submission and crowned as the new WWF Champion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;Bret was Screwed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" &gt;What was the fuckin Reason??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;    &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; //&lt;![CDATA[  if (window.showTocToggle) { var tocShowText = "show"; var tocHideText = "hide"; showTocToggle(); }  //]]&gt; &lt;/script&gt; &lt;p style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;a name="Hart.27s_departure_from_the_WWF" id="Hart.27s_departure_from_the_WWF"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2 style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"  style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Hart's    departure&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;The reason for this screwjob was rooted in Hart's decision to leave McMahon's company for its chief competitor, World Championship Wrestling (WCW), after McMahon told Hart that financial problems would not allow him to keep Hart on under his recently signed 20 year contract. Hart cited a clause in his contract that granted him "reasonable creative control" and was steadfast in his refusal to lose a match hosted in his home country of Canada, especially against Shawn Michaels, with whom he did not get along.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;McMahon remained insistent that Hart should lose to Michaels in Montreal, fearing that his company's business would suffer if WCW announced Hart as its latest signing while he still held the WWF World title. Although Hart and McMahon agreed to a compromise on the match ending that allowed Hart to retain the title, McMahon was determined to remove the title from Hart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;h2 style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"  style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Setup and execution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;On the Wednesday before the Survivor Series (which was to be held on Sunday), McMahon met with Michaels, Paul Levesque (Triple H), and a close coterie of advisors in a hotel room in Montreal and planned the screwjob. It is unclear how many people knew of the impending screwjob, but McMahon's close aides Gerald Brisco and Robert Remus had been involved in the planning. In addition, McMahon and Michaels contrived to keep Pat Patterson in the dark, owing to his close relationship with Hart. Hart and Michaels had met with Patterson to discuss the match setup and plan, during which Hart agreed to allow Michaels to put him into the sharpshooter hold at a time when the referee would be unconscious.The rest of the match was planned to proceed thus: Hart would grab Michaels' foot and reverse the hold, putting him in the sharpshooter. Michaels would submit to the hold, but the referee would still be unconscious. Hart would let go of the hold to try to revive the referee, but Michaels would hit Hart with his finisher, the Sweet Chin Music, and make the pin. A second referee would then run to the ring with Owen Hart, Jim Neidhart, and Davey Boy Smith following close behind. The second referee would start the count, but Owen and Davey Boy would break the pin. The original referee would then recover and start to make the count, but Hart would kick out, setting up about five more minutes of brawling that would result in a disqualification.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;h2 style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"  style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Reactions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;While much of the live Montreal audience immediately understood what had happened and responded angrily, television viewers had been left largely confused as Survivor Series went off the air four minutes ahead of schedule with the parting image of Michaels holding the belt aloft as he disappeared backstage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; Rumors and expressions of surprise and shock pervaded the INTERNET &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;almost immediately after the match ended. Many fans and observers considered it a creative and all-time great match finish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;Subsequent WWF shows saw large numbers of fans loudly chanting "We want Bret," holding up pro-Hart signs and booing Michaels, McMahon and others believed to be responsible for the screwjob.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;Observers of professional wrestling speculated whether the entire episode would result in WCW becoming the dominant brand in Canada, where a large majority of fans had remained loyal to WWF, especially as the Hart family was working with the company.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://ishanwadi.blogspot.com/2009/07/montreal-screwjob.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ishu)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241876270835162468.post-7934663920824825254</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2009 11:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-06T06:23:52.041-07:00</atom:updated><title>Those were the days ; Bring back The Attitude Era</title><description>&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;The Attitude Era was a period in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and professional wrestling history that began as a direct result of the Monday Night Wars and culminated with the conclusion of the Wars in 2001.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;The Attitude Era was a surge in the popularity of professional wrestling in the United States from the late 1990s to early 2000s, as television ratings and pay-per-view buy-rates hit record highs. The Attitude Era was defined by a radical shift in programming content. In contrast to the more traditional, family-friendly content that was common in WWF programming, the Attitude Era sought to attract the young adult demographic by transforming the product into an edgier and more controversial form of entertainment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Origin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;The official date of the Attitude Era was between March 29, 1998 when Stone Cold Steve Austin became the WWF Champion at WrestleMania XIV to April 1, 2001 at WrestleMania X-Seven, days after World Championship Wrestling (WCW) was bought out by the WWF. However, the Attitude Era's origin is attributed to events that took place in the mid 1990's. One of these notable dates was the 1996 King of the Ring when Stone Cold uttered the famous catchphase of "Austin 3:16" and began the WWF's transition to an edgier product&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;Leading up to the event, Jake Roberts was as a fan favorite and considered the probable winner of the event as his character had successfully defeated alcoholism and drug addiction and was now trying to live life as a constructive member of society. Roberts was defeated by &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Stone Cold Steve Austin&lt;/span&gt;, whose character was that of a heel redneck. With an upset victory over Roberts, Austin mocked his opponent for constantly referencing &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;John 3:16&lt;/span&gt;, culminating in the phrase, "&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass!&lt;/span&gt;" Austin's defiance of authority and social mores proved to be popular amongst the fans, and "Austin 3:16" became a marketing juggernaut for the WWF.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;The dominance of anti-heroes and villains was further cemented by the Montreal Screwjob. Vince McMahon used fans' knowledge of the real-life politics behind the incident to create the "Mr. McMahon" character, a corrupt businessman fixated on destroying the lives of disobedient employees. The resultant feud between Austin, portrayed as a working class everyman, and Mr. McMahon became the central storyline of the Attitude Era, propelled by Austin's profanity-laded tirades against McMahon and McMahon's increasingly violent and corrupt retaliations against Austin. Against this backdrop, other adult-oriented stories and characters were introduced, including D-Generation X, a crew of lewd frat boys prone to innuendo, and The Godfather, a pimp who came to the ring accompanied by a variety of prostitutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Glance at the Storylines&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;Austin vs. McMahon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;On the Raw after Austin won the WWF Championship, Mr. McMahon presented him with the newly designed WWF Championship belt and informed Austin that he did not approve of his rebellious nature and that if he didn't conform to society and become his image of what a WWF Champion should be, Austin would face severe consequences. Austin gave his answer in the form of a Stone Cold Stunner to McMahon. This led to a segment a week later where Austin had pledged a few days prior in a meeting to agree to McMahon's terms, appearing in a suit and tie, with a beaming McMahon taking a picture of himself and Austin, his new corporate champion. The entire thing was a ruse by Austin who in the course of the segment proceeded to tear off the suit, telling McMahon it was the last time he'd ever be seen dressed like this. Austin punched McMahon in the "corporate grapefruits", and took another picture with McMahon grieving in pain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;The following week on April 13, 1998, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mr. McMahon were going to battle out their differences in an actual match, but the match was declared a no contest when Dude Love interrupted the entire thing. On that night Raw defeated Nitro in the ratings for the first time since June 10, 1996. Meanwhile, several popular characters emerged on Monday Night Raw that would establish consistently high viewing from fans: The Rock, after not winning over the fans as the face Rocky Maivia, was making a new name for himself as a member of the Nation of Domination, and later as a singles performer, and Triple H, who after Shawn Michaels left due to back injuries took control of D-Generation X and recruited The New Age Outlaws and X-Pac, who had just returned to the WWF after his two years tenure with WCW as a member of the nWo, into his new "D-Generation X Army".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;The DX Army and The Rock&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;With the newly formed "DX Army", D-Generation X participated in numerous segments causing chaos and leaving wreckage wherever they went. On April 27, 1998 Nitro was held at the Norfolk Scope in Norfolk, Virginia, while Raw was held nearby at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia. With the ongoing war between the WWF and WCW, the DX Army decided to initiate an immediate "invasion" of Nitro. The DX Army drove to the Norfolk Scope in an army Jeep, challenging WCW head Eric Bischoff to come out and face them or to let them in. The fans outside the arena for the show began chanting "DX" as they joined the DX Army, helping them attempt to enter the arena and invade the Nitro broadcast. Soon after, the DX Army even appeared at CNN Towers to call out WCW owner Ted Turner. Like Austin, D-Generation X were embraced by fans, with their mischievous antics and defiant attitude, as their popularity continued to grow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;Perhaps the only individual to rival Steve Austin in popularity during this time was The Rock, a third-generation star who was originally introduced to fans as Rocky Maivia and pushed as a major face upon his debut. The fans began to turn against Maivia, as they didn't appreciate him being constantly overemphasized as a good guy and forced into the role. Aggravated by the fans' extreme dislike for him and feeling under appreciated and underestimated, Rocky himself turned against the fans and began to verbally insult them on a weekly basis with various trash-talking promos while referring to himself in the third person.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;Through his in-ring abilities and tremendous skills on the microphone, The Rock gained a huge fan base as he continued to grow immensely popular despite every attempt The Rock made to be a heel, even interrupting fans as they repeated The Rock's catch phrases in unison with him, reiterating "This isn't sing-a-long with The Rock!" With his engrossing and funny promos, The Rock became one of the most popular WWF superstars of all time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;We want those Good Ol Days back...or Else We Riot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bring Back Attitude Era&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RPG-13 Sucks.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://ishanwadi.blogspot.com/2009/07/those-were-days-bring-back-attitude-era.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ishu)</author><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241876270835162468.post-1179284151138341117</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2009 10:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-06T06:07:18.077-07:00</atom:updated><title>A Sad Tale of Rotten Apples</title><description>&lt;h3 class="post-title entry-title"&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;An apple a day keeps the doctor away&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;Have you come across the quote above?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;For some reason, I kept dreaming about the quote ever since I got a flu. Yesterday was the 3rd day I dreamt about it. This is Freaking me out. Yesterday was the day when I managed to visit the market by taking some time off my busy schedule..he he..I am ~damn~ busy after all even in my Holidays as well...I am busy doing nothing. Its the most stressful job in the world . You have to think a lot when you have nothing to do...okay okay I know I was talking about my visit to the market...I saw My favorite fruit Litchi and it was just one vendor who was selling it in the entire market and it was 120 pe kg which was exactly similar with Exotic Fruits in terms of cost. I closed my eyes and passed by. Then I saw Apples and immediately I was reminded of this Legendary Quote " AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY" and I ordered a Kg of Apples. This was my first shopping of Fruits without any sort of outside help from a Family Member or so. I felt proud for actually no reason. When I came home with my head held high and my chest swollen with Pride but soon all my celebrations turned into grief when I was scolded by my Mom for bringing the pack of most rotten apples that could ever existed . Now I came to know how stupid I was...I just told the retailer to give me a kg of apples and I didn't even bother to check them...DAMN! foolish me....after that scolding laced with Love, I had to promise my Mom to never shop for fruits and vegetables again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://ishanwadi.blogspot.com/2009/07/why-i-like-apples.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ishu)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241876270835162468.post-9181194916543981260</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2009 09:58:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-06T06:08:26.641-07:00</atom:updated><title>Walking on Water</title><description>&lt;h3 style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" class="post-title entry-title"&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" class="post-body entry-content"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; When we talk about the one miracle which involves a person walking on water,  the conversation has to involve &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;Jesus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Have you heard of any other person walking on water before?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; How could you have?

When I say those words, it implies that a situation is bad no matter how you look at it. For instance, if you are trapped in the 44th floor of a burning high building that is doomed to collapse soon, its either you sit there long enough being burnt to black carbon, or take a leap of faith eventually splattering your guts on the hard concrete floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either way, you are doomed! Your only chance is to pray for superman to come to your rescue (this only works if you are lana lang...LMAO..). Other than that, the best you can hope for is people to remember your meaningless insignificant life after your death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While doing nothing at home, I found some really cool quotes that paints the picture of a 'double edged sword'. [And no, none of them are related to relationships, sexual desires, triangular love, pregnancy or women in general]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Here are 10 quotes for your amusement:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;[All quotes are obtained from Magic the Gathering]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"Don't try to outrun one of Dominaria's grizzlies; it'll catch you, knock you down, and eat you.

This thing will be able to make me happy as long as i have it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;When i have it, it gives me a sense of achievement, a sense of satisfaction &amp;amp; happiness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;Most people find happiness through this way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;In short, in your current state, you want something better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;Method 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;I come across a sad story, or an experience of others that is far worse than what I'm experiencing now. (eg:Homeless people).

What they all need to get inside a platform and show their Stuff .Just before this concoction erupts to unleash itself over the seemingly small domain around, I doze off!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;Of late, sleep has become very dear to me. Dearer than T.V.! Could yew guys even think of it :P? I have been sleeping for all the wrong reasons, worse still, sleeping alone! (Oops!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;Tell you what, sleep is like slow poison, may be, even slower. When things seem awfully burdensome, sleep offers solace. For example, when a bulk of pending half-white pages with boring black letters teases me, I find my pillow very alluring! I wake up after hours from what should have been a forty winks only to find that stuff can be screwed up asleep!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;I know what I am capable of and I also know that there is even more within that hasn’t hitherto been unearthed.

Thus now, to hear about his death at &lt;b style=""&gt;UCLA&lt;/b&gt; medical centre in LA ,it almost feels like a lie, a dirty lie. Welcome to the world of Michael Jackson , where every passing moment never failed to enchant you , either in ecstasy or in bewilderment. Perhaps that was the greatest trouble with his life. As long as he lived&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;he was never allowed to be a common human being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Born on 29&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; August 1958 , Michael was the second youngest of six brothers. As a child he suffered incessant abuse from a demanding father and was beaten up and molested. Infact in one of his interviews to Oprah Winfrey MJ admitted that even as an adult his childhood memories continued to haunt him.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Michael Jackson began his career a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;s a lead vocalist of his family group ‘&lt;b style=""&gt;Jackson 5ive&lt;/b&gt;’. But soon the king was to rise from the mob. In 1969 MJ debuted with ‘&lt;b style=""&gt;I want you back&lt;/b&gt;’ for Motown records and it became the fastest selling record for the company. He followed it up with a string of hits&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;, including his first No.1 ‘ &lt;b style=""&gt;Ben&lt;/b&gt;’ and the album’ &lt;b style=""&gt;Off the wall &lt;/b&gt;“ with producer Quincy Jones. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;But it was November 1982 that changed the course of music history. ‘&lt;b style=""&gt;Thriller&lt;/b&gt;’ became Jackson’s biggest triumph with over a 100 million records being sold worldwide and it&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;was No. 1 for a record 37 weeks. It was proclaimed the Best Selling Album Of all times by the Guinness Book of Records in 1985 . As a music critic rightly observed “ After &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Thriller&lt;/span&gt; MJ ceased to be a phenomenon infact he went beyond phenomenon.” In 1984 he won 8 Grammy awards following it up with 3 more in 1985. As time passed by he continued to release chart topping albums( &lt;b style=""&gt;Bad&lt;/b&gt;(1987) ,&lt;b style=""&gt;Dangerous&lt;/b&gt;(1991), &lt;b style=""&gt;HIStory&lt;/b&gt; (1995)). Channels like MTV were born because of his songs. His dressing sense including his red jacket and his white gloves became the talk of the town. Every thing that he did was now dissected and scrutinized by the media. MJ sold, and the paparazzi knew that. By 1995 he had become a legend , a one man industry.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Even as his musical career soared high on the personal front he did not meet with much success. Two failed marriages and his behaviour towards his children became the talking point in the media. Then in September 1993 he was accused of sexual abuse by a 13 year old. Several such allegations followed. His out of court settlements and his shopping sprees landed him into deep financial troubles. In January 2005 , he was acquitted of&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;all charges. MJ’s last album , ‘&lt;b style=""&gt;Invincible&lt;/b&gt;’ sold 2.1 million copies and was probably his first critical flop. In March 2009 he announced his final tour ,” &lt;b style=""&gt;This is it&lt;/b&gt;” to be held across London.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;As destiny would have it, it was never to be।&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh94myw0vdJ1pd7QGeuWEWmfJ3a7d6lIDRpW_CayX_j0KCx2fF4RSJJj4KGyz3S8ndmEXPADVurR8GA2tAfT1tP5JTP5y4xBtCK2OkURiRjwVxKOvg5bKyV-G6eVakkyHpeaxW_2J8mjBQ/s1600-h/oldmj.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh94myw0vdJ1pd7QGeuWEWmfJ3a7d6lIDRpW_CayX_j0KCx2fF4RSJJj4KGyz3S8ndmEXPADVurR8GA2tAfT1tP5JTP5y4xBtCK2OkURiRjwVxKOvg5bKyV-G6eVakkyHpeaxW_2J8mjBQ/s320/oldmj.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353965105449143714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;color:black;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Whatever the accusations, however eccentric he might have been , one cannot forget the cheer Michael Jackson brought to his fans.

Mithun Chakrobarty’s steps in the superhit ‘DiscoDancer’ were inspired from MJ.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The entire world is shocked at his untimely death. There are reports that he was being administered morphine by his coterie of doctors , that he was being put under tremendous pressure from his sponsors for the last tour. Agreed that Michael Jackson had his faults . He may not have been the perfect father or the perfect human being but when it came to music and dance he always was and always will be ‘ &lt;b style=""&gt;THE KING’&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;As his last words I put before you Michael Jackson’s letter to his Indian fans (during his 1996 tour )&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;“India&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;All my life I have longed to see your face.

Its nice to see that you have been very proactive in the last few days. Based on the Yashpal Committee report you have proposed a few changes to our ailing education system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there are a few flaws in your approach that I need to point out&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:webdings;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p  style="font-weight: bold;font-family:webdings;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-weight: bold;font-family:webdings;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;First let me just point out the three major ideas that you have proposed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:webdings;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"  style="text-indent: -0.25in; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;1)      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;1. The scrapping of class X board exams.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"  style="text-indent: -0.25in; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;2)      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;2. Grading system(or a percentile system ) instead of percentage system in class XII and a common national board.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"  style="text-indent: -0.25in; font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;3)      3. Formation of an autonomous authority for higher education system and research .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"  style="text-indent: -0.25in; font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The first point&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;about scrapping the class X board exams ,well sir you have hit the nail on the head when you say that the children go through intense trauma due to these exams. But have you tried to understand why. The reason is simple. Getting good marks alone helps you to get into a good higher secondary &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;school. Will the trauma end if the board exams are scrapped. I think not . The same problems regarding admissions will prevail. Infact this will lead to more chaos on the parameters on which student admission to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;class XI should take place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The real problem is there are not enough seats in good institutions . That is probably the basic reason why a prospective C.V Raman eventually becomes a Tom Dick and Harry as he grows up. What you really need to do is that ensure that all the schools that are springing up like mushrooms get affiliation only when they offer quality education. Moreover you need to increase the number of seats in these institutes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Coming to your second point about introducing grading or a national percentile system . Will it really help? The only visible change it will bring is that the cutoff for a Shri Ram College Of Commerce or a St.Stephen will be 99.99 percentile instead of 98 percent. No sir , it will serve no other purpose than creating confusion. However your idea of a single board deserves merit because there is a huge difference in the marking patterns of state boards and C.B.S.E / I.S.C. No wonder we have ridiculous cutoffs for graduation courses.( 98% for economics ! Give me a break.). If you really want to solve the problems that students face after passing class XII you must ask universities to look into other facets of a child personality and not merely his/her academics before admitting him/her. Moreover these universities need to introduce more vocational courses.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Your third point about an autonomous body for higher education and research is , I must say, the need of the hour. UGC needs to be renamed Useless Governing Council....Ha Ha Ha .LMAO LMAO LMAO ROFLMAO ROFLMAO...And one more thing Mr. Sibal , please see to it that apartment with three rooms are not given university status.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I hope that you achieve all that you have set out to in the coming 100 days . I wish you all the success.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Regards&lt;o:p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" &gt;Ishan Wadi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;( A product of the great Indian education system)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Dear readers please post your comments on the blog itself.

George V , the reigning king of England was to visit India. To welcome him , as a token of appreciation (which was never needed) and gratitude (which the British government never deserved ) a song was written for him by a man known to quite a few of us …. Rabindranath Tagore . The song itself may sound familiar to you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;

font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Yes friends , the national anthem is least NATIONAL . It was never meant to be NATIONAL . It was meant for the king , he was called the’ bhagya vidhata’.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Don’t you ever wonder why no freedom fighter ever sang JANA GANA MANA during the days of freedom struggle &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;. It was because they identified themselves with the song VANDE MATARAM&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;written by another Bengali ( and a true nationalist) Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay .&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;So much so that when the 15 year old Chandra Shekhar Azaad &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;was slashed 15 times every time the words that came out of his mouth were&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;…..VANDE MATARAM.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Now an interesting fact. In 1914 Rabindranath Tagore was awarded the Noble prize.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Do&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;you know who was the noble prize committee chairman ?...... George V.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;But the king realized that a prize could not be given just on the basis of a song . And so came the book by Tagore ….. GITANJALI …. an obscure piece which many&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;intellectuals cannot understand.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;It was in 1940 that Rabindranath Tagore wrote a letter to his brother in law&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;in which he admitted that JANA GANA MANA&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;was the worst song he ever wrote . He also asked his brother in law to publish the letter after his ( Tagore’s) death. The letter was never published .&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;This is the true story of JANA GANA MANA. The supreme court of India in its ruling has said that nobody can be forced to sing JANA GANA MANA .( I am never going to sing it again).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:130%;" &gt;When the constituent assembly met&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;to decide on&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;the National symbols of India some unanimous decisions were taken. When it came down to the National Anthem the majority of the members were against JANA GANA MANA being the National Anthem . However one man was in favour. …. JAWAHAR LAL NEHRU. Finally it was decided that a voting should decide the National Anthem.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;319 members were against Tagore’s song&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;, one vote was in its favour , that of Nehru.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Seeing that he was in a losing battle Nehru played his trump card….. he offered his resignation. The house relented . The three reasons Nehru offered for this’ Nationalistic ‘choice were &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -0.25in; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;1)&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:130%;" &gt;The music of JANA GANA MANA suits the orchestra ( by that he meant the English orchestra)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;2)&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:130%;" &gt;Most foreigners had already heard the song.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent: -0.25in; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;3)&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:130%;" &gt;This one takes the piece of cake. He said NATIONAL ANTHEMS&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;were meant to be heard by foreigners .&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:130%;" &gt;Dear friends for long I have had problems with Nehru .&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;was the person who had tried his level best that Hindi should not become our national language . Infact Hindi won by just one vote. It was Nehru whose selfishness caused us to lose a piece of land we now know as Pakistan.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:130%;" &gt;Have you ever wondered why Vande Mataram was never sung in the parliament . It was because it was never allowed to. This question was raised by our former prime minister Chanradshekhar during the NDA rule and hence from 1997 the parliament proceedings started with VANDE MATARAM and ended with jana gana mana .&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;Mind you Tagore was ultra talented . If you just look at the songs he has written and the music he has given to them all the doubts on his genius vanish. But the truth is he never wrote Jana gana mana for Indians and the sooner we accept it the better for us. Please tell this true story to everyone you&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;can . After all the truth will only help Tagore’s heart feel lighter. Lets take a resolve that we are never going to sing Jana Gana Mana . The law is with us on that. Lets make Vande Mataram our new identity .Here is the song&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;so that you as well as others can learn it but above all tell the world that king&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;George V &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;was never our BHAGYA VIDHATA.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;

color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span&gt;MAY 3 , 2009: “ We won’t trade N-deal for Left’s support.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MAY 5 , 2009: “ I think the Left will support a Manmohan Singh government.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its as if Rahul Gandhi wakes up every morning with almost no recollection of what he spoke the last day ( I call it the GHAJINI syndrome). Rahul Gandhi according to me is the fifth most boring speaker in the present Indian political scene ( his mother tops the list with Mayawati finishing a close second). But even I had some respect for his political acumen. Well Mr. Rahul Gandhi , you have dashed them all with your recent statements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact is Congress realizes that it will not be able to gather the numbers for Manmohan Singh to be the next prime minister( or pseudo P.M). So Rahul Gandhi made a candid statement to reach out to some prospective allies. Infact he said that the Congress may look to join hands with Nitish Kumar’s J.D.U , Jaya Lalita’s A.I.A.D.M.K. and Chandra babu Naidu’s T.D.P. Let me Pranay Tiwari , a political novice explain to Mr. Rahul Gandhi why he has got it all wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Dear Rahul, Nitish Kumar ( albeit his differences with Mr. Modi) will never support U.P.A. because it needs B.J.P support in Bihar without which it will cease to have a majority . Sadly the Congress with its dwindling base in Bihar cannot offer that kind of insurance. Moreover Nitish’s support will guarantee a divorce with Laloo Prasad Yadav.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Mr. Rahul, tying up with Jaya Lalitha’s A.I.A.D.M.K would mean distancing yourself from Karunanidhi’s D.M.K . I do not think that can be easily done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Third if you somehow manage to get Left’s support ( using the often abused secular pretext) you lose a key partner in Bengal, Mamta Banerjee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover it would mean cheating the people of Kerela where Congress and the Left are in direct confrontation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) And finally Mr. Rahul, you praise Chandra Babu Naidu’s work in Andhra Pradesh when your chief minister Y.S.Reddy is fighting a tough battle there. It does not work that way .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those having a soft corner for Rahul Gandhi would say that it is precisely this innocence of his that is heart touching. I say that there are times when you need to differentiate the subtle line between innocence and naivety . Mr. Rahul Gandhi I am afraid, is hovering around the latter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s the problem with dynastic politics. It gives you a politician but fails to ensure that he is a leader. I hope the day never comes when Rahul Gandhi becomes our P.M. Why? Even I am a better candidate than him. And why should I doubt my chances. After all politics is the art of the possible, ideology be damned.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://ishanwadi.blogspot.com/2009/07/leader-by-default-or-rather-by-fault.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ishu)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241876270835162468.post-6579370402509695687</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-06T06:16:26.330-07:00</atom:updated><title>INDIAN STUDENTS RACIALLY TREATED ABROAD</title><description>&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;It’s the great Indian dream shattering. As I sit down to write this , I can see the bloodied eye of Sourabh Sharma , an Indian student studying hospitality, brutally bashed when six thugs confronted him in the train.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sad part is this is not a one off incident. The number of Indian students assaulted and murdered is on the rise and yes, however non- chalant we try to be ….. fact is the situation is serious. Just consider the following incidents:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the latest assault ( in Australia ), four students were attacked with a screwdriver by gatecrashers at a party in Hadfield, in Melbourne's north, on Saturday night. One victim, Sravan Kumar Theerthala, 24, remained in intensive care in Royal Melbourne Hospital the whole night. On Monday, Baljinder Singh, 25, a student, was stabbed in Carnegie as he walked alone at night. The attack left him in The Alfred hospital. In US on Nov 2008 Arpana Jinaga (24), student of MS at Seattle, was killed in the early hours (IST) of Saturday.The murder of Jinaga came close on the heels of a string of murders of NRIs from Andhra Pradesh.While A Srinivas, a PG medical student, Chandrasekhar Reddy Komma and Kiran Kumar Allam, both PhD students, were killed in 2007, T Soumya Reddy and her cousin Vikram Reddy were killed in September, 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not here to present facts and figures. I just want to say a few things that has been disturbing me for the last couple of days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First , the trend in Indian students to hide facts. Yes getting into a good foreign university is a tough job . But that does not mean that even if we are beaten there or laughed at we are going to keep quiet just because it may be looked upon as the shattering of the great Indian dream. Now that the Australia incident has happened many Indian students in Australia are coming forth to tell how they were ill treated. In the last three months in Australia 500 cases of assault on Indian students has been reported. I asked one of my relatives studying in US whether there is racism there. She replied “ No no , it does not happen in US . Its predominant in U.K”. When I asked one of my friends studying in U.K if that’s the truth he said that racism was a US phenomenon . I don’t believe that racism is country specific . I think it depends on a person’s mindset and how he has been brought up. Many people in the US still don’t like to eat in places that allow blacks to dine . My brother who stayed in Rotherham U.K for a year said that many English people used to call the Indian taxi drivers “ bloody Paki” . One of the factors which I think is very important to understand is that sometimes a growing sense of insecurity among natives can be wrongly looked upon as racism. Many natives in the US , UK and other countries feel that their jobs are under threat from the people of India and China . The recent recession has only aggravated the sentiment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would request all Indian people especially students to bring forth any cases of ill treatment that they have seen or received. Hiding facts ( or living in Alice in wonderland) won’t solve the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second thing that I would like to point out is the attitude of the authorities . An IIM Bangalore graduate Shishir was beaten up one and a half months ago by some people in U.K . Till now the police have not caught even a single culprit ( and we call the Indian police names!). The way the Australian police has acted ( or not acted) in the last few days has raised a lot of questions . A reporter of an Australian daily rightly asked “ Would the police be as slack if the students attacked were Americans ?” I think we all know the answer to that . Uncle Sam commands stricter action does it not? I think the Indian High Commission has to be more active in this regard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Australian blog writer called Indian students ‘smelly’ . I think if it were not for these smelly Indian students many foreign education institutes would have found it hard to sustain in these turbulent times. My project is on carbon nanotubes and the two teachers whose articles I follow most happen to be smelly Indians teaching at Purdue University. After all god has never been a racist and so everybody gets as much talent as they seek….skin color is never a constraint there.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://ishanwadi.blogspot.com/2009/07/indian-students-racially-treated-abroad.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ishu)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241876270835162468.post-3949304342548854492</guid><pubDate>Sun, 09 Nov 2008 09:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-09T02:00:42.299-08:00</atom:updated><title>Sourav Ganguly a Captain who changed the mentality of his players</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXxGgKv8hqXJf0fsn_aYClfeqF9LB7ypnF9Fwd5D4e1dIiZKZEnvtz_YWA5ae7eIXP8Lwtf_vmQbezvwmELe7OVtVdiu2wdIXV7aBoNnmpEbsgbp5VZYpoFuesBeCZtlJiKGo_M9bJewQ/s1600-h/ln.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

   * A man who knows how to swim against the wave/current.&lt;br /&gt;    * A man who knows how to show his aggression.&lt;br /&gt;    * A man who knows how to nourish young players.&lt;br /&gt;    * A man who knows how to fought back.&lt;br /&gt;    * A man who is not afraid of controversy.&lt;br /&gt;    * A man who took India to the final of Cricket world cup.&lt;br /&gt;    * He is only one man and one leader ... he is Sourav Ganguly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Our Royal Bengal Tiger.&lt;br /&gt;    * Our Prince of Kolkata and&lt;br /&gt;    * Our DADA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its really emotional to me as well when I am writing this because I do believe that changes in Indian cricket and Indian cricket team starts from Sourav Ganguly's era and now Mahi (Mahednra Singh Dhoni) is giving a final and more beautiful touch to this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Indian players learn how to give back with interest to the opponents.&lt;br /&gt;    * We saw that so many young talents (Virendra Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Mohammad Kaif, Irfan Pathan and many more) nourished and not only he nourished them but he protect them and always push them to give their best.&lt;br /&gt;    * Indian team started to win abroad and proved that India can win test matches against Australia in Australia and against Pakistan in Pakistan as well.&lt;br /&gt;    * His determination to come back to the Indian team and also proved once again himself showing how tough he is mentally. His pepsi ads showing all thing “Bhule to nahi hai naa.”&lt;br /&gt;    * His shirt waving in lords and kept Steve Waugh waiting for toss makes him a negative character in the eyes of England and Australian media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever media told about Sourav Ganguly but one thing is very clear that he played the cricket as per his will and retiring as per his will as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a short comments which I have read a long ago –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“On the offside, there is God, then there is Ganguly”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DADA we will miss you …</description><link>http://ishanwadi.blogspot.com/2008/11/sourav-ganguly-captain-who-changed.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ishu)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXxGgKv8hqXJf0fsn_aYClfeqF9LB7ypnF9Fwd5D4e1dIiZKZEnvtz_YWA5ae7eIXP8Lwtf_vmQbezvwmELe7OVtVdiu2wdIXV7aBoNnmpEbsgbp5VZYpoFuesBeCZtlJiKGo_M9bJewQ/s72-c/ln.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241876270835162468.post-9125182917180868657</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Nov 2008 11:57:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-03T04:02:21.831-08:00</atom:updated><title>Girls Profiles taken from a Matrimonial Site</title><description>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ultimate.... ......... ....I bet u can't stop laughing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;RED&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are Girls profiles taken from shaadi . com These are actual ads on a matrimony site. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grammar and spelling errors have no place in a profile description as everything is straight from the heart! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/RED&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Hello To Viewers My Name is Sowmya , I am single i dont have male,If any one whant to marrie to me u can visite to my &lt;br /&gt;home.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;This is a wonderful mail circulating in favour of RAJ Thackerey have a
&lt;br /&gt;look ......
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;We all should support Raj Thackeray and take his initiative ahead by doing
&lt;br /&gt;more...
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;1. We should teach our kids that if he is second in class, don't study
&lt;br /&gt;harder.. just beat up the student coming first and throw him out of the
&lt;br /&gt;school
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;2. Parliament should have only Delhiites as it is located in Delhi
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;3. Prime-minister, president and all other leaders should only be from
&lt;br /&gt;Delhi
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;4. No Hindi movie should be made in Bombay. Only Marathi.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;5. At every state border, buses, trains, flights should be stopped and
&lt;br /&gt;staff changed to local men
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;6. All Maharashtrians working abroad or in other states should be sent back
&lt;br /&gt;as they are SNATCHING employment from Locals
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;7. Lord Shiv, Ganesha and Parvati should not be worshiped in our state as
&lt;br /&gt;they belong to north (Himalayas)
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;8. Visits to Taj Mahal should be restricted to people from UP only
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;9. Relief for farmers in Maharashtra should not come from centre because
&lt;br /&gt;that is the money collected as Tax from whole of India, so why should it be
&lt;br /&gt;given to someone in Maharashtra?
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;10. Let's support kashmiri Militants because they are right to killing and
&lt;br /&gt;injuring innocent people for benifit of there state and community......
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;11. Let's throw all MNCs out of Maharashtra, why should they earn from us?
&lt;br /&gt;We will open our own Maharashtra Microsoft, MH Pepsi and MH Marutis of the
&lt;br /&gt;world .
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;12. Let's stop using cellphones, emails, TV, foreign Movies and dramas.
&lt;br /&gt;James Bond should speak Marathi
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;13. We should be ready to die hungry or buy food at 10 times higher price
&lt;br /&gt;but should not accept imports from other states
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;14. We should not allow any industry to be setup in Maharashtra because all
&lt;br /&gt;machinery comes from outside
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;15. We should STOP using local trains... Trains are not manufactured by

The meter just keeps a-ticking whether you are getting somewhere or just standing still. Live life like you're going to die today, dream like your going to live forever. And above all life is not just all about achieving and getting things that you want,it is all about how much that you can give to the others with your heart and most importantly life's not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://ishanwadi.blogspot.com/2008/10/my-life.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ishu)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241876270835162468.post-4411396221962039307</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Oct 2008 08:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-29T01:48:08.621-07:00</atom:updated><title>My Thoughts</title><description>&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Toughts -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it. Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people. Whenever nature leaves a hole in a person's mind, she generally plasters it over with a thick coat of self-conceit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://ishanwadi.blogspot.com/2008/10/my-thoughts_29.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ishu)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
