UPA government has to go (Narmada stoppage)

The recent news about a central government prostrating in front of Medha Patkar by initially giving an order to stop raising height of Narmada dam is not just objectionable but a severe slap in the face of lakhs of people in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. It seems like politics is being played as none of the 3 states which benefit due to Narmada dam are part of the Congress regime.

In addition, I am a big fan of Aamir Khan films but once he decided to side with Medha Patkar, he has lost my support for any of his films however important they might be or whatever good message it might contain. I am sure Amdavadis will not allow his films to be screened either and for good reason. The problem is that by supporting Medha and Arundhati (2 of the most useless citizens of India who care more about them then about lakhs of people who benefit by this dam), he has ignored the wishes of lakhs of people who suffer due to unavailability of water, electricity etc which is going to be a result of incresing the height of this dam. Look, I am all for rehabilitation of people affected. certainly they deserve to get a land, which is going to be drowned and states should be pushed or central govt. needs to step in to get it done, but the height of the dam should be raised.

Maybe Medha, Aamir, Arundhati (sic!) should come and visit parched lands of Saurashtra, Kutch, Rajashthan and see how people suffer without water, how long they have suffered. I come from Saurashtra and I have seen droughts, people suffering, animals dying, crops getting destroyed due to lack of rains and water and all these bunch of idiots like Medha are involved in making them suffer more.

BTW, Medha's fast unto death is nothing but a gimmick. She still has nimbu paani, which has enough ingredients for you to stay on the fast for a long time. if she is serious, she should stop having anything. Then I will go and tell her that the suffering she is going throug is the same that is faced by people and farmers in the 3 states that benefit from raising the height of the Narmada.

UPA govt, by becoming party to this NBA leader has become a partner in crime against the very people it is supposed to protect and provide them with all amenities to do their work in the fields and generation of electricity so that industrial production can be carried out. They are playing dirty politics. Here are some of the dirty politics being played by Sonia and Mannu (Manmohan, the puppet of Sonia).

1/ Volcker (Nattu had to be forced out after an outcry by people in India)
2/ Jharkhan, Goa and Bihar fiasco
3/ Varanasi, Jama masjid, Delhi, srinagar etc
4/ Narmada
5/ Kicking other poeple out for holding position of profit and then declaring Sonia a martyr when she too had to resign for having broken the same law


This govt. is bound to destroy India and deserves to go along with the cartoons of CPI.

My kid's notes

Just like any father, I feel proud when my 5 year old son does something that makes you go "damn...how does he get these ideas?". Recently, he wrote about our trip to my hometown of Porbandar in his daily notebook that he has to ready in school. He had gone to see Peacocks and saw a lot of them. Here is what he wrote about it and then drew a picture. Looking at the picture, the peacock on the right is standing with his feet firmly planted on the ground. However, the peacock on the left has bent his legs and is getting ready for take off. I was zapped since I didn't expect such thinking from him.

Itching to move out

For the past few weeks, I have been itching to move out of Bangalore to may be a place like Ahmedabad. Bangalore has the most beautiful weather but it also has its mix of traffic, chaos and the like. Having lived away from Gujarat for so long (~25 years now), it seems like I want to go back and live there again. Those familiar sounds of the language of Gujarati coupled with sweet smell of fafda, jalebi, undhiu, khandvi and a chance to be close to my parents and my brother's family are probably are forcing me to think in this way. After being away from family for so long, in a way, I seem o be craving to live with them one more time. I don't know whether this desire is good or bad but it is there and I am just acknowledging it. I also long to be close to an ashram where I can go study Vedanta. "Who am I?" is a question I want to experience in this life time. Yes, I have jumped topics but then these are random thoughts. :)

Communalism and Equal Rights

I am not a politician or even a writer. However, I am concerned with what I am seeing in India. There are couple of aspects that really worry me about the country. One is when politicians try to brand themselves as secular/non-communal and others who subscribe to another ideological theory. I have seen the Congress party claim that BJP is communal. Why? Because it has affiliations with RSS, who in turn has affiliations with VHP? However, if you look at the dictionary, ‘communalism’ is defined as follows: Main Entry: com•mu•nal•ism Pronunciation: -n&l-"i-z&m Function: noun 1 : social organization on a communal basis 2 : loyalty to a sociopolitical grouping based on religious or ethnic affiliation - com•mu•nal•ist /-n&l-ist/ noun or adjective If you read the above dictionary meaning of communalism carefully, then Congress itself is guilty of being communal, as they so frequently like to label their opposition. Congress has been in power for greater part since India's...
