TGIF

Finally Friday the 29th is here, the day I leave for home. But not sure of the day I will reach home. May be saturday, sunday or monday. In remote possibility on Tuesday. Depends on traffic in capital after 10 p.m.

Festive season ahead so great, great wishes to all of you. May all my readers get what they wish for secretly. Or openly, whatever.

I will also be visiting IITK on this weekend or early next week. Probability distribution curve shows maxima on Saturday. So you can expect to see me there on saturday.

Wishing helluva good time for the festive season ahead to all of you. I'll save Happy-Diwali for next post. :)

Purge it

Nothing has changed since last year. The dilemma never ended. It was just postponed for 1 year (<1).
But this time lets go with the application part first.

And then play with the take-life-as-it-comes rule.

So what cometh now is the application.

The deadlines are imminent and work remaining is hefty.

So there is little time to adjust vicissitudes.

Purge them out and manage the things.

Kashmiri's 'will'

(Developed from a forum on BBC. Sadly such kind of opinion can only appear on blogs n forums and not on the minds where they matter)

"Guys,

People here talk a lot of Kashmiri’s will. Let me just deviate from topic and tell u what happens in Britain for law of shareholders. In England law is that when shareholders decide in AGM of a company that the company management change hands then no one on earth can stop it. Now what has happened over last decade is that England has been continuously loosing business to everyone around the world in name of so called will of shareholders. Foreign companies come to England, offer a little premium price to shareholders and in return get their votes to sell companies to foreigners and law just could not stop it. In long run foreigners who acquire English companies shut them down and sell their own good to English. So effectively in the name of so called ‘will’ of shareholders, there has been increasing unemployment in England which affects those very shareholders (common man) on streets. But obviously shareholders (the common man) fail to see this long term effects of such uninformed and short sighted will of his/her.

Now back to Kashmir. For once all kashmiris should use their heads and not hearts and ponder over these points:

1. Kashmir becomes part of Pakistan.
Consequences: All kashmiriyat goes up in flames. Pakistan destroys all culture and imposes its own agenda on Kashmiris. No economy of Pakistan and Kashmiris are made to starve and die. Look at so called Azad Kashmir, is it really azad (independent) or a mere puppet in hands of Pakistan.

2. India gives independence to its Kashmir.
Consequences: Will Pakistan replicate? A highly unlikely possibility. Will Pakistan try to annex or at least influence and install a puppet government in Kashmir? A highly likely possibility. Will China annex the Kashmir? A very very highly likely possibility. And in this case Kashmir will be treated same as Tibet. Today more hun chinese are inhibited in Tibet than tibetians themselves, do kashmiris want same fate for themselves?

3. Pakistan also gives Kashmir its independence.
Consequences: Although highly unlikely but still if it happens then India will be forced to free Kashmir and one single Kashmir will get independence. BUT BUT BUT what about red dragon with its never ending greed? Do Kashmiris want to be part of China where they can’t even protest as protesting against government is illegal in China? Do you all want to go down the Tibet line?

4. Kashmir gets independence and Super Hypothetically stays independent as well.
Consequences: A LANDLOCKED country surrounded by giants as China, India and Pakistan can never survive financially without depending heavily on these three neighbouring countries. There will always be puppet governments in Kashmir and it will always remain a financial slave of one or the other. What good is independence when for bread and butter you remain dependent on the others FOREVER? Look at Europe, Germany, France and Italy kept on supporting creation of small small countries in name of people’s will and behind the scenes they also kept on installing puppet governments in these so called independent countries. Result today they (Germany, France, Italy) virtually rule whole of Europe while giving common man a sense of false independence. Look at Euro zone. Germany and France impose 3% deficit onto everyone else whereas they themselves have been flouting the norm regularly but no one punished them AND now when Greece fails its puppet government was forced to let loose all the austerity hell unto Greeks whereas better methods existed for a way out. And by putting so severe austerity on Greece, Germany has put everyone else in danger as well. Latest example of all this so called fictitious independence is Kosovo being just another country run by puppet government. Do you, in long run, want such conditions for Kashmir? What good is political independence if finances of your countries are dictated by others? Is this false sense of independence any useful? So think of the fact that how will you earn your daily bread after independence and then you will realise the practical difficulties in this highly globalised world.

So for once use your God given brains and not hearts. You treat those soldiers with love and affection and they will replicate. A few bad elements exist in every institution but does that make the whole institution bad. So if you keep pelting stones and burning buildings then you will achieve nothing. Why doesn’t kashmiris sit for NDA exams in large numbers? If there is trouble in family then it doesn’t mean u leave family, u try to solve it within family. How come Pakistan backed militants find hiding places inside the city buildings? How come your so called leaders never lead a protest march? Lala Lajpat Rai at the age of 70+ was leading a peaceful protest march against Simon commission when he died because of an English ordered lathi charge, does any of your Gilanis and Mirwaizes have guts for that? And you call them leaders.

So please use your brains for once and end this violence and stop supporting Pakistan and Pakistani agents (Gilanis and all like him)."

And India win

It will be nice to send Aussies win-less.

Kids were good

So this Saturday was quite not-so-common days of life. Everybody of us mostly have common or normal days of life. And then there are those days which are not-so-common. Those when we would not be doing/having things which we will call that as such 'stand out' from activities of some + or - x days from that day.
So coming back to the point Saturday was that kind of day. Not that it was some F-ing day of my life or stuff like that but it had some salience which I can't associate with other Saturdays.
So coming back to the point again we (me along with some co-workers) went to a school and spent some time with students. There were few competitions where students participated with vigour we did not know when in class 10. Most of the children came from very humble family background but Im sure they could have outdid many in terms of enthusiasm. They enjoyed. We loved.

So. It was over. We went to Bangalore. Met some of the old guys. Watched first day of Bangalore test. Had some so-called fun.
And that was pretty much of it. Came back and ensconced in the frame.

Cricket Match

If everything goes well on Saturday I will be watching the cricket match live on ground. For the first time.
That too a contest between top two teams.
So this weekend will be in Bangalore.
I am also contemplating buying a bicycle to commute between office and home.
Many people discouraged the idea as in it will be odd.
But apart from that cycling in hyderabad is BIG deal.
By doing so you decrease your life expectancy by increasing your probability of death at young age.
In hyderabad there is no concept of footpath leave alone cycling lanes. So you have to work your way through bigger vehicles on the main road.
So I will have to watch out for the streets I will have to cycle through before executing the idea.
In the 3 days since I moved to new apartment the observation was that roads from here to office are relatively flat.
But the traffic is loaded.
See you Bangalore. In 3 days time.
