article by Suresh Dalal- zeros without one

2012-02-03T00:03:00.000+05:30

I was reading Gujarati Magazine Chitralekha, after such a long time and found a great article by Sh. Suresh Dalal and thought that I should share with you all.

Excerpt from the article.

કોઈ ના શબ્દો ને વળગવાનું શું ?

કોઈ ના શબ્દો થી સળગવાનું શું?

આપણે જ આપણા રસ્તા પર રજ્હડવાનું શું ?

જેને મળવું જ નથી એને મળવાનું શું ?

Heading of the story is : "Zeros without one"

Moral of the story is : Life without Peace is nothing but zeros without one ahead of it !

We should start calling Open category as RESERVED category !

2012-01-31T19:54:00.000+05:30

I was trying to find out general details about BMC election such as total number of seats, type of reservations , website etc. while doing that I came up with some shocking figures and some stupid rules which I thought should share with world.

There are in total 227 seats for Mumbai Corporation(BMC). Out of these 227, as per new law incorporated by government 50% is reserved for woman open category. Out of rest 50%, few percents are reserved for SC and OBC category and few are reserved for OBC woman. After doing all the calculation, only 77 seats are available for Open general category(Male).

227 Seats

77 out of 227!

Not only this, to make it even worse, selection of all these so called reserved seats such as 50% woman, OBC etc will be done on the basis of Lottery. So out of 227 seats, no one knows which one will be reserved until lottery is done.

I really can't take this method, a person who has worked for 5 years in a particular area and now realized that he can't be contested from the same area because his seat is reserved! I understand, there are pros and cons in any process which gets introduced in country like India, but in above process, I find more cons than pros.

1. Do you think said system is correct?
2. Do you think 50% reserved for woman Open category excluding of OBC woman is justified?
3. Are we promoting family politics here ?
4. Is there any new way we can think of putting better system?

I really feel pity for party decision makers who are going to make this crucial decision leaving behind so many unhappy aspirant.

PS: I am of the opinion that woman should get equal number of seats(50%) to contest but not the way it is at the moment.

30 hours in a day instead of 24 in a month of December!

I was trying to find on internet ,how many people go outside India either for education, job or for settlement over there every year. Obviously for people who go for education and for job also wish that they should settle over there in the end.Research says this number is increasing and more n more people are either going US, UK ,AUS,Canada etc every year.

Problem is not that they go outside country but problem is most of them visit India in the month of December to spare few days with family and friends. Further if they are between the age of 24 to 30 then they come here to find girl and get married and they go back , giving very little time for friends to gulp this shock.

I don't know whether December was considered as a month for marriages but def now It will be considered as a month of matching people.

It is becoming tougher and tougher to meet all friends and to spend enough time with them especially when u r working and that too on Saturday. Damn!

I am sure this trend of going out of country is going to continue and hence I wish God should grant us 30 hours in a day instead of 24 in a month of December atleast !

PS : I wish all of you a very happy and great new year ahead. This will be my last post of the year.

To get an Entry is simple but Exit ,just too difficult !

2011-12-18T11:58:00.001+05:30

I am tempted to write this article because of the incidence happened with me in ICICI bank.

As everybody is aware that stock market is down, lot of security companies are trying hard to get business and to sustain, brokerages have gone down and on bank side, government has allowed banks to decide saving interest rate and this has also caused a great competition among banks.

I have an ICICI bank and demat account having 4% interest rate and 55 paise brokerage charge respectively, being normal account like any other aam aadmi.

This image is used only as a reference.

I decided to close demat and bank account, as it makes no sense to pay such a high brokerage against the competitor and giving the same service.

I called the call center executive and told that I want to close the account. He then asked me a reason which I explained to him and then finally he told that to close an account, you have to go to bank only and you cannot do it online.

It is painful to have experience that in the event of open an account the concerned banks persuade to the extend of visiting the residence, does all the necessary things required to be done and gives you plenty of promises but when it comes to closing it is totally other way around.

Nonetheless, I went to bank and told that I want to close the account and again reason and explanation. There was no sign of retaining a customer in turn I was told that first you have to go to icicidirect to close demat account , which will take atleast 7 days and after that come to us for closing of bank account. The said information was not provided on phone.

Why don't they allow closing of an account procedure online? Let customer does the initial work online and then for final closure visit the bank only once.

I know what they must be thinking , ek customer ja raha hai to jane do, waise bhi premier customer thodi hai!

After this event, I was just thinking, this phenomena is everywhere , i.e "To get an Entry is simple but Exit ,just too difficult !"

Think about this !

FDI Suspended !

2011-12-07T10:10:00.001+05:30

Atlast! FDI suspended.

Pic: Courtesy IBN live blog

More than a week, no business could be transected in both the houses of parliament. Now Media will say who is responsible for waste of time of Parliament. All will debate on news channel for next few days. Both big parties & other coalition parties will blame others for this waste of time.

Mr. Goswami(Times Now) will ask Direct questions to them & in turn they will get all the answers but not the one which has been asked for. Mr Sardesai will shout out load to tell viewers about this waste of time but wont be able to provide any solution to this. Its better not to comment anything on NDTV's Barkha Dutt & others.

Now market will tumble , Corporates will blame all political class people for this mess. There will impact on GDP , Inflation may rise & Indian growth will be impacted.

What about Aam Aadmi ?? They will continue to suffer. FDI or NO FDI .. Isnt It ?

Chalo , Yeh Deadlock to tuta. Finally Parliament will function & hopefully we can see some good debate.

PS: Politician should learn from their past mistakes especially government as the same things has happened earlier in Jan Lokpal bill. Parliament was on hold at that time also.

26 / 11- Day to Remember !

2011-11-25T23:20:00.001+05:30

26/11 ! One of India’s worst ever day! Nonetheless it is painful that media calls this day as 3^rd Anniversary day? Anniversary for what and for whom? At the outset introspect on this word of anniversary. Media could have used a better word.

TAJ

Twitter was widely used on that day & its usage grossly acknowledge. Honestly from that day onwards I also started understanding & making use of this medium on regular basis. In span of 3 years, twitter has got momentum leaps & bounds to the extent that people not only just do tweeting but also look out for trending topics every day. One is aware that from past 2 days #pawarful #slapped #missed #sachin #ravirampaul are trending on twitter. I am sure, tomorrow; #26/11, #kasab, #Mumbai will be trending due to reasons known to all.

In an article widely published candidly reveal that Indian government has already spent not less than 31 Cr towards keeping Kasab alive and in healthy condition. For further detail you can check the link.(http://toostep.com/debate/india-govt-spends-rs-31-crore-on-kasab-should-we-continue-th) On the other hand, Is it not irony, that government day in & day out make hue and cry about subsidy to the farmers, food items, fuel etc. This reminds me of a dialogue from movie Wednesday where Nasir Saab says, “Yeh Acceptable nahi hai sir.”

WHY? WHY? WHY?

Don’t you think the above situation is provocative making people restless? It is worthwhile to suggest that the gentlemen who are engaged further for the propaganda of Jan lokpal bill vociferously should also equally make huge propaganda for trail of Kasab to be conducted expeditiously leading to final conclusion, needless to say whole country will support the movement. I am wondering if god forbid instead of only Slap if someone has killed or hurted Mr. Pawar then the concerned person would have been killed then & there only seeing into violent demonstration by the activist damaging the public properties.

I do understand that we need to follow the democratic process and also go by the Supreme Court order but 3 years is too huge time for someone like Kasab to get hang. I request all the people of this country to pressurise the government to get their act right & ensure that judgement & the implementation of the same takes place forthwith.

Silence

कहना था बहुत कुछ ,
सुनना था बहुत कुछ ,

दिलो में कही अरमा  थे , जो बांधे बेठे थे ,
आज नहीं तो कल मिलके जताना था बहुत कुछ ,

दिल में एक उमंग थी , मन में नयी तरंग थी ,
सवालो की कटोरी लेके पूछना  था बहुत कुछ

पर जब कहने सुनने का मौका आया , और सवालो की कटोरी खुले ,
तब आपकी  ख़ामोशी ने जताया बहुत कुछ !!

Tube Thoughts!!

2011-10-18T20:35:00.000+05:30

I dont know who wrote these but thought of sharing with you all. Just read and have fun. ;) I think these are old now, we can create new ones. Think about it!

1. Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.

2. Why are the numbers on a calculator and a phone reversed?

3. Can someone have their head in the clouds and be down-to-earth at the same time?

4. If heat rises, then shouldn't hell be cold?

5. What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

6. History does not repeat itself. Historians repeat each other.

7. If marriage means you fell in love, does divorce mean you climbed out?

8. Patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet.

9. Your heart understands what your head cannot yet conceive; trust your heart.

10. Nothing dries sooner than tears.

11. Give up for a second and that is where you will finish.

12. I m out for lunch, if I m not back by 5, i m out for dinner also!

13. It matters not what you do, as long as you are the best one doing it.

14. To many time we confuse motion with progress.

15. Can you breathe out of your nose and mouth at the same time?

16. Love is like heaven but hurts like hell.

And the last one

17. A lie travels round the world while truth is putting her boots on.

Bodygaurd should have been released during Navratri!

2011-10-13T22:28:00.005+05:30

Now a days most of the festivals are looked more from commercial or projection point of view than of the actual celebration. Navratri is no exception. I do not want to go in detail about why we celebrate etc as I am sure we all are aware of it.

So much has changed in past few years. From songs to place to singers. Also if u can see there is an exponential growth of people coming to Navratri. But I think if you segregate these people as playing and non playing then later has increased more than former. Kehte hai na "Khelne walo se to dekhne wale jyada hai" hence there is so much of space crunch for playing garba. For 5 people to play peacefully in a group, you need atleast double the Bodyguard to circle around that group. Hence it reminds me of Sallu bhai ka movie "Bodyguard". Only difference is instead of gun , Bodygaurd should have Duppata to create a circle. Sallu bhai could have easily promoted his movie during Navratri & could have given price such as best Bodyguard of the group. ;)

Nonetheless let's hope we can come out with better approach next year so that people can play peacefully.

Wait for Right Time Or may be the Last Time!

2011-10-10T00:59:00.000+05:30

People come and people go! Some known and many unknown. We know the incoming date but outgoing is not known. Astrologers also can't predict the exact date of death of a person. Hence we say that there is some force which is beyond understanding of science and any of scientists.

My granny. My beloved granny! As GOD has called you, I am in flashback now.Ahhh!!! Those childhood days, how can I forget those days. Can't describe all things in words. School vacation time is unforgettable. Watching WWF, playing video games all the time, having sancha icecream, calling you with different names, Ae Bhan bai, Bhanudi, Bhanuma etc, also those days we used to call chai(Tea) as "ambema ni cha" (goddess Durga's tea) and now on day of Dashera you are with GOD.

We discussed that will go to garden , will go to temple, will do a competition of who will write most number of times RAM in a book. Etc. I only discussed! I feel sorry for not turning that discussion into action.

I wonder why people say to wait for right time, as we don't know that today may be the last time!

Journey from my Home to Ghatkopar Station.

2011-09-26T00:39:00.003+05:30

Jagdusha nagar Lane

My colony is blessed with transport service. We hardly get any auto to go for station, early in the morning. Regarding bus, its better not to comment. So the options left with you are either go by personal car or do the walking. I prefer walking over car and I think it has become blessing in disguise.

I would call this 10 to 15 mins walk as a Journey. This journey starts with saying good morning to people whom I know in building who just pass along with me. Then come the lane where, I can see people either waiting for auto or walk till naka to look out for auto. I don't know whether they get the auto as I am on my walking path. But I always see 1 autowala , who just wait over that naka but never say yes for anything you ask. I wonder what he must thinking? Then come the playing ground which has more of human waste than people playing over there.

Let's take this journey ahead, once I come out of my lane, I see different world. People living in slums. Total change of living. When I cross this slums, I ask myself why so much of difference? What they must be thinking about so called buildingwalas and they must be having the same dream of having their own buildingwala house?

Station Road

While walking, I start looking at people and try to figure out what must be cooking in their mind right now? I can sense different thing, such as I saw a woman, walks like as if she is running and looking at her watch every now and then. I am sure she must thinking of catching 8 56 ladies train. LOL.

Just forgot to mention, this said road is blessed with metro rail construction as well and when I saw a man, looking at huge pillars, I am sure he must be thinking ,"कब ख़तम होगा यह , कब ? I swear, I get the same feeling when I cross that construction path. A college boy, busy listening to music and am sure he must be thinking of good time spent in past and enjoying every bit of a music.

Out of all lot of these people, what struck me the most was a kid (may be in 2nd or 3rd stad) wearing horizontal huge school bag in his shoulder walking along with his mom. He was walking as if there is no noise of construction, no tension of going to school, looking down playing with stones and walking slowly. This kid reminded me of my childhood. Reminded me of carefree world , reminded me of freedom of life , reminded me of so many small small things in life which we forget to enjoy while become so called wiser. Its good to act like a child sometime.

The journey continue !!!

NAJANE KAHA KHO RAHA HOON ME !

2011-09-07T21:00:00.001+05:30

Najane kaha kho raha hoon me,
Kuch bhool raha hoon me.
Woh jasba, woh hausla, kho raha hoon me,
Kuch bhool raha hoon me.

Is Bhid me hum daud rahe hai,
Najane kise khoj rahe hai .
Chakravyuh sa lagta hai yeh ,
Todke bhi na tod payenge ise,

Roz ki is daud me apne aap ko kho raha hoon me ,
Kuch bhool raha hoon me !

मी NAITIK VYAS !!!

2011-08-21T19:58:00.002+05:30

मी NAITIK VYAS and not Only ANNA HAZARE !!!

I respect the cause but not the method.

Anna Hazare -Topi

I respect the constitution of India but not the arrogance of Government.
I respect the huge support of crowd but not the Hypocrites.
I respect each one who is doing even one bit to fight against corruption but not at the cost of stopping the progress of India.

I Request both, the civil society & the Government of India to resolve this huge crisis soon as I believe India has lot more to achieve & to prove to the world.

PS: Having said all this, Even I do want strong Lokpal bill to pass & I do support the Cause ! Government must bent down on BASIC demands, its not about your EGO but about INDIA.

AARAKSHAN !!

2011-08-12T00:25:00.000+05:30

My take on Aarakshan...

The ongoing tussle between prakash jha( Team of Aarakshan) & these politicial parties is insane. I really dont understand why these parties have to interfere directly and stopping all the activities & agitate people for wrong reasons.

First, they have to see the movie , once they see the movie then they can write to sensor board and express their concerns. Censor board will take necessary action if required, they being the authorized body. Above that state government has power to decide to ban the movie for 2 months after the release. If any state government does that then they should provide the reasons for doing that.

Why this kind of simple process is not followed & just a dhamki to say hum movie nahi chalane denge. This is totally unacceptable.

I request people not to support these kind of activities who unnecessary creates violence for no reason.

As a politician they have so much else to worry about.

Isnt it ?

Happy Friendship Day !

2011-08-07T22:21:00.000+05:30

Colourful Hands!!

Friendship Day !!!.

I wonder what is it all about ? I wonder why do we celebrate this day ?? Friendship is something you do not have to celebrate only for one day. It is something that you can celebrate everyday. I wonder who created it ? what is the story behind this ? I found out that origin of all this has come from west & they have their own different stories to tell.

I would just like to tell my friends, in India, we celebrate Friendship day on 1st Sunday of every August but generally, 30th July is the date given for International Friendship Day. If you want to know further in detail about it & why and whats of it , you can google it.

Yes, this day( Friendship day) definately give you a reason to reach out & express your feelings to concerned person but having said that don't wait for this day to come to tell your feelings , just reach out to that person it doesn't matter which day you are going. Friendship is all about that right?

But nonetheless I am not saying dont celebrate but don't forget that there are 364 other days too to do the same.

Wish you all a very happy Friendship Day !

PS : Today, while I was coming back home from my regular class, I saw group of people tieing Friendship bands to each other, writing something on hands, it reminded me of my old college days. Bliss... :)

Its All Depend on "U"

2011-08-05T14:37:00.000+05:30

I met one of my good friend yesterday & we were just discussing things in general. Now a days there is a trend that people ask , " aaj kal FB(Facebook) pe aata nahi hai ? Kya ho gaya hai bhai? kisike touch me nahi hai ?
My friend replied, I can be in touch with people whom I want to , it doesnt require me to go to FB to do that.

Suddenly iIwas just thinking what is it that these social sites are still missing despite they are the best & the fastest way to connect people. After a long thought, i realized, they all lack one character in their name, be it Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Google+, whatsapp etc and i.e none other than "U".

So Until and unless "U" dont decide to be in touch it just doesn't matter how many these social networking site will be of any help. In the end its just useless if "U" dont want to use them.

Isnt it ?

Kuch lamhe !

2011-07-21T01:58:00.000+05:30

Kuch Socha tha par likha nahi,

Kuch Likha tha par bheja nahi,
Kuch bheja tha par gaya nahi,
Kuch Samja tha par jana nahi
Aur kuch to jan ke bhi anjane hue,

Aise kuch kuch me hum bhaut kuch kho gaye hai ab to bus aise hi kuch lamho ke sahare ji rahe hai !

Vodafone Super week

2011-05-24T21:45:00.000+05:30

This Vodafone Super week ads has inspired me a lot.. I feel like implementing the same in real life..

What I mean by that is , lets have Super week for playing Sports , reading books , going out for a week on vacation, party hard, and all this unlimited.

What say ???

Trend Analysis of my mobile bill

2011-05-07T00:27:00.000+05:30

Sometimes its good to do this kind of trend analysis , so that you know
1. to whom you are talking the most
2. Which day of the week you talk more & to what percentage
3. What is the usage type
4. Which provider - you talk more
5. STD Vs Local calls
etc...

For me Results are.
1. All top 5 people with whom I talk more are from Vodafone.. ( I use Airtel though)
2. 60% of my outgoing calls are done in first 3 days of week.
3. On Saturday , I do least calling which is only 9%.
4. STD call rate has dropped to 50% compare to last month.

I think this will help me now to take a decision whether to do Number portability or not . ;)

One day I decided to quit!!!

2011-04-17T23:49:00.000+05:30

" I read this article long time back.. Thought of sharing with you guys... "

One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
"God", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me...
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.
I gave them light. I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor.
Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.
But I did not quit on the bamboo.
In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed.
But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.
"In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. "I would not quit." He said. "Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth.

Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.

It had spent the five years growing roots.

Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."

He said to me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots."

"I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. " Don't compare yourself to others .." He said. " The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern ... Yet, they both make the forest beautiful."

Your time will come, " God said to me. " You will rise high! " How high should I rise?" I asked.

How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.

"As high as it can? " I questioned.

" Yes. " He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can. "

I left the forest and bring back this story.

I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.

He will never give up on you.

Never regret a day in your life.

Good days give you happiness

Bad days give you experiences;

Both are essential to life.

A happy and meaningful life requires our continuous input and creativity. It does not happen by chance. It happens because of our choices and actions. And each day we are given new opportunities to choose and act and, in doing so, we create our own unique journey." Keep going...

Happiness keeps you Sweet,

Trials keep you Strong, Sorrows keep you Human,
Failures keep you humble , Success keeps You Glowing, but Only God keeps You Going!

" I think we compare too much with others & hence deviate from our GOAL!! "

खुशियों के मौसम हो या गम के साये , जीना ही पड़ता है,

अगर अपना दिल टूट भी जाये , तो कुछ "अपनों" का दिल रखना ही पड़ता है,

महफ़िलो में कुछ अपनों के लिए, मुस्कराहट का नकाब ओढ़ना ही पड़ता है ,

जीने के लिए न रह जय कोई वजह, तो किसी को वजह देने के लिए जीना ही पड़ता है .

Awaaz Do!!!!

2011-02-14T02:09:00.000+05:30

AWAAZ DO

It’s now your opportunity to make a difference.

The more the people read about ‘Awaaz Do’, talk about it, the better chance of a child receiving his/her education.
The facts about the Right to Education Act, its significance and a lot more is given as part of the zip file. Refer to these facts and share the information with your readers. Provide them with information which they can use and further spread the message.

So first,

What Is AWAAZ DO & How Can I A Make A Difference?

All children 6 to 14 years old have the right to free and quality education under the recently passed Right to Education Act.

The RTE Act specifies minimum norms in government schools. It requires all private schools to reserve 25% of seats for children from poor families (to be reimbursed by the state as part of the public-private partnership plan).

The Act also provides that no child shall be held back, expelled, or required to pass a board examination until the completion of elementary education. There is also a provision for special training of school drop-outs to bring them up to par with students of the same age.

The RTE Act is the first legislation in the world that puts the responsibility of ensuring enrolment, attendance and completion on the Government.

The Right to Education of persons with disabilities until 18 years of age has also been made a fundamental right. A number of other provisions regarding improvement of school infrastructure, teacher-student ratio and faculty are made in the Act.

To make the Right to Education Act successful, it is important that each one of us knows about it so that every child who is not in school can be sent back for free and quality education.

The time is NOW! Make A Difference.

Stand up and make some noise! Join the Awaaz Do movement by signing up now for India's children. Ask your friends to be a part of getting every single girl and boy into school. Do it now for India's future.

Come forward and donate to UNICEF to help change 8 million lives.

Spread the word to your family and friends. You can SMS, e-mail or just talk to them and ask them to speak up and raise their voice for children. One voice makes a difference but together we can help change the fate of 8 million children. The time to begin is NOW!

Find a school near you and make a visit. Check if the school has:

• Separate toilets for boys and girls.
• Drinking water and places for students to wash their hands with soap.
• Playgrounds for playing sports and having fun.
• A school library for students and their teachers.
• Mid-day meals for children.

You can meet the school head, teachers, community members and even the parents of children enrolled there and talk to them about the RTE Act. Let them know about the highlights and let them know how every child can benefit.

Awaaz Do!

Thank god today is Sunday!!
