Where does the problem lie ?

An article forwarded by my friend from Bangalore made be think:

- Is it money ?
- Is it lack of education ?
- Is it just one-off incident ?
- Do we care ?
- Are we humans anymore ?
- Is it stress ?
- What is it ?


Read the article from TOI Bangalore Nov 16th page 3 .....

If you’re ever a victim of road rage, don’t expect the cops to come to your rescue. ‘Your problem, you settle it yourself,’ is all you can expect from the men in khaki. This is what happened with a customer service executive at BEL Circle on Thursday evening.
Sandeep (name changed) was driving home with his fiancee at 5.45 pm. Just before BEL Circle, a car overtook them, and the driver made a face at him. While Sandeep got stuck at the signal, the other car whizzed ahead.
When he crossed the signal, the driver, standing in the middle of the road, stopped him.
He started abusing Sandeep, and then picked up a brick and smashed it on his head. Bleeding profusely, Sandeep cried out for help, but in vain. A constable standing nearby didn’t utter a word. “ . My fiancee requested the constable to help me, but he said he wouldn’t intervene in a personal scuffle,’’ he said.
Some passers-by stopped the driver, but he sped away on seeing the cop. A little later, the constable too vanished.
Sandeep and his fiancee were taken to Jalahalli police station. But none of the cops knew which constable was on duty at the circle. A complaint was registered and the victim taken to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for a broken nose.

OSO V Saawariya - What do you think

So do you buy my idea..!!


Couple of years back on a fine evening in one of the posh hotel in Mumbai or London..there was a table reserved with following guest list:

"Sanjay Leela Bansali Farah Khan ShahRukh Khan Anil Kapoor Rishi Kapoor"

The guest were in time and had the usual chitchat and then ordered some विन and then as usual Farah Khan spoke first...

Farah: You know after main hoon naa i really do not have any script which i can work on other that the stage show Bombay dreams no real work but Shahrukh and self have come up with this super plan which involves you Sanjay

Sanjay: Tell me darling.. I can die for you..

Farah : You are launching Ranbir & Sonam and I have this new girl ..Shahrukh kya naam hai yaar uska..

Shahrukh : Yaar woh Prakash Padukone kee tall see model beti...ek minute let me check the sms she sent..haan Deepika

Farah: So what i was telling Sanjay your story of sawaariya is that same old gissi pitee wali the only good thing u make are those sets ..kabhi kabhi i feel you should change ur profession to interior designing ॥anyways..back to our plan...tho meine sochaa public ko ullu banathe hai.. we come up with a hotch-potch story where we fit in few songs ..dosra janam and all that..Shahrukh vaise bhi kai stars को dosth bana chuka hai ..subko guest appearance de denge or ek masala film bana dalthe hai..

Sanjay(chewing gutka as usual): So darling what is this to do with me ?

Shahrukh : Yehi tho twist hai sirjee ..we will launch these two ordinary pictures on the same day and the best time of the year.

Anil Kapoor : Diwali Pe !!

Shahrukh : Exactly !!

Farah: Yes !! We will create enough hype controversy media clash ..rivalry taki juntha samje bhai kuch hai movie mein..and its a known fact if a person goes to see one movie will 100% go and see this other one...

Rishi kapoor (Enjoying his wine and smiling all evening): Haan yaar mein tho jaroor jaunga cause ek mein tho mera beta hai aur dusre mein aaj ke shaam ka bill pay karne wala hai .(gives a hi-fi to Shahrukh)

Shahrukh: (signalling at the waiter) Get me the best wine from your cellar..

Farah : We will chip in Karan to help us create a controversy between you and me Sanjay if you donot get angry and with your permission I will get your mother but
nothing drastic haan...

Sanjay : Anything for you darling....

Shahrukh : So guys kaisa laga humara plan ..we will cover the cost in hours and then mauja hee mauja ...I mean cash he cash

Sanjay : What about television audience they are more interested in game shows singing shows etc

Anil : That is simple Sanjay one of you become Zee ka chamcha and the other Sony ka..you attend all the shows there as guest and movie becho and the other goes to Sony..ekdum chakaas !!

Sanjay : But Farah and me are doing this Jhalak dikla jaa together these days...logon ko doubt ho jayega

Sharukh: People will forget by then ..they only remember controvercies and once you or Farah says something bad about you thats it ..they will hang onto that. remember how much of hype i created for KBC with Amit uncle (winks)

Farah : So its a deal and hopefully we all will not be seeing each other as a part of this plan lets have a fun evening .

Sanjay: Farah you are such a darling ..

And the night continues ..... ॐ Shanthi ॐ
Not to worry.. There was no such meeting or any such plan...my blog says...Just free your minds.. ;-)..watch the movie and you will start thinking...;-)

The Halloween !!

Its been while since I put something on my blog...have been busy with other things..like Winter tyres..Kitchen renovation...Agile way of working....before you move to something more interesting in the www here are few captures of our Halloween party..and what is halloween?? Hmmm in short..its alternative rendering Hallowe'en is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day" and that is All Saints Day..btw the common thing we hear is that this is more of US Marketing stuff but the fact is that Ireland Scotland and England were first ones to adopt it and then the US made it their own...Back to our party,the best part was the different costumes the kids had put on and the entire decoration and atmosphere was Spooky !! Happy Halloween and here are the pictures...

Happy Birthday Abba....

Happy Birthday Dad/Abba

Celebrating the 60th Independence Day

Like every year we were at the Embassy today morning to proudly celebrate our Independence Day. The feeling you get while seeing the Indian flag hoisted and the singing of the National Anthem makes you feel good and the wonderful words of encouragement given by the honorable Ambassador that each Indian living here in Finland is an Ambassador for India in his own right. It was also a pleasure to hear the very first speech of our very first Lady President,marking a new era in Indian History..God Bless India.. !! Jai Hind !!
