The Illusion!!!

"Hum Pakistani hain, Pakistan hamara hai", you can hear these words enchanted in few streets of Jammu and Kashmir. It is really unfortunate that some people Mind-washed by some separatist Organizations having close links with Pakistan think so, living in India from more than 6 decades. Only few people with their narrow mindedness cripple the communal harmony of the country. Further some say in public, "We are Pakistanis and Pakistan is ours because we are tied with the country through Islam." Is religion is the only thing to be connected with a country?

Started with the government decision to hand over 100acres of land to a panel that administers Amarnath. The government dared not to consider this issue if it was not able to foresee the repercussions of their step. It proved a spark for those who were in search of their chance to make their presence felt. The small issue was communalized as before because they know our weakest nerve. They did not miss the opportunity to dig the burials. Some Muslim organizations demand their independence and merger to Pakistan only because that is a Muslim country. Some Hindu organizations pretended to provide shoulders to cry on for the Hindus for their political gain before the general elections. The situation became worse and the minor dispute between some groups resulted in some protests in the Shrinagar- Jammu highway. But this was dealt soon and police and the army ensured that no problem occurs in the highway.

The separatists again got the chance and they named it “economic blockade” nicely and started provoking the fruit growers to march towards Muzzafarabad, the capital of PoK (Pakistan occupied Kashmir). Some people think they should have been allowed to sale their products there. But I think this is a matter of the pride for a country to take care of its people especially when it is a democratic one. What message would have been sent to the world?

In Jammu & Kashmir, the situation needs serious attention of the whole country and the problems should be solved pragmatically to not let Pakistan to take advantage of the situation. Young minds are being exploited on the name of God; their brains are being white-washed by our people for their personal advantages. In this atmosphere, if some communal incidents occur then they got examples for their theory. Some people also find the solution of the problem in the separation of the state. But will it be a solution really as all the states here are independent up to a certain level but inter-dependent for their prospects. All knows J&K is an integral part of India and we are proud of it. But for keeping peace and harmony there, how long we have to pay in installments???

Salaam India!!!

India, the country about whom it was predicted that it could not able to sustain its independence and would disintegrate, is celebrating its 62nd Independence Day. It is no more submissive, vivacious and able to maintain the largest democracy of the world. Our confidence make us felt everywhere in the world. In the words of present railway minister Laloo Prasad Yadav,

“From a buffalo back, I have landed into the gut of a helicopter. This is democracy.”

India, the ancient, eternal, the cradle of many civilizations, religions and innovation has been able to absorb the shocks of ruins of history and to receive the new ideas. The unification of implacable 565 residencies under sovereignty of one constitution was the most important event took place. This is the time to revere not only those who managed the freedom but also to those who vanguard the freedom struggle.


‘We the people of India’, as called by the preamble of the worlds’ largest written constitution, have made ourselves proud showing over superiority at every walk of like, in every part of the world. Our scientists, entrepreneurs, doctors, engineers, teachers and the common man who is not common now are worth appreciation for what they have done and our future depends upon how they will do. People all over the world are astonished of our ‘unity in diversity’. Despite of so many cultures, languages, religions and beliefs we are bind with the spirit of India. And only this spirit of oneness is the secret of our excellence.


But, miles have to go. Some of the incorrigible incidents that took place in the Indian history are the blasphemy to our democracy. Consequently, an eye for an eye is making the men blind. The present political scenario, the atrocious incidents which become issues to be on the front page of a daily, corruption and exploitation of the poor are pulling the leg of our prosperity which is the cause of acrimony among the youth and some so called nationalists groups are taking advantage out of their resentment.

Today we are celebrating our 62nd Independence Day, but I want to ask you, what is the relevance of this occasion in your life??? It was used to be a blissful experience, a sense of patriotism during our schooling. Now it is just a holiday to go for a picnic with the family or a leisure time for a movie not at all related to the nationalism or another Sunday to fulfill our sleeplessness. Is it not????

Bye-Bye Human Being!!!

Are you planning for the future of you and your family and having life insurance so that your family won’t need not to worry after you? Just get your capital back, because your countdown has began. The recent hype over the devastation of the world is an issue of controversy. The common man has a common query…. Will we be some objects to be excavated or not even that after 21th Dec, 2012???



History says we have a habit of seeing more than we know. We started correlating what would happen in a person's life with planetary positions. From the earlier days, we are afraid of those things we couldn’t control. Some shrewd people started getting benefit out of our beliefs. Some of the examples of predictions of God human being are:




When, on June 14, 1968, there were predictions of a possible collision of the earth and a minor planet Icarus, which passed within only four million kilometers of Earth.



In 1974, some people predicted that in 1982 all the planets will be aligned on the same side of the Sun, As a result a very high sunspot maximum and great earthquakes affecting principally the Los Angeles region. The sunspot maximum occurred in November 1979; and Los Angeles survived these events.



Similarly, in May 2000 there was a prediction of a catastrophe because of the simultaneous alignment of the planets Jupiter and Saturn behind the Sun (in conjunction with the Sun). Since the year 1600 there have been four occurrences with a closer "matching"(less duration) than the 2000 grouping.




These are only a few instances, the list is endless. In all the cases except a few, we were able to thank for our existence. But this did not deter us to predict.






Our discussion is incomplete without the Mayan Calendar, which gives good fodder for many end-of-the-world fans. Mayan Civilization existed around 250-900 AD it stretched around most parts of the southern states of Mexico and reaches down to the current geological locations of Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador and some of Honduras. It gives "day 1" as August 11th, 3114 BC (0.0.0.0.1). It has a life of 5125.36 years, so it is also easy to calculate the date at which the calendar would end -- December 21st, 2012 (12.19.19.17.20).

It was possibly based on religious belief, the menstrual cycle, mathematical calculations, But the fact remains, the Mayan Doomsday Prophecy is purely based on a calendar which we believe hasn't been designed to calculate dates beyond 2012 or it might be reset (0.0.0.0.1) to use beyond 2012. It gained the popularity because of the possibility of collision of an asteroid as predicted by some scientist that in Dec, 2012 an asteroid will pass near to the earth.


So, we can’t give up the habit of trying to be in lime light. If some things really happen, it is just one case out of the many cases possible. You can say it is a mere co-incidence. But we remember only those predictions that come true, which is why astrology works only for those who believe in it.

According to noted astrologer Bejan Daruwalla, the 21st century will be the brightest and the boldest period of humanity. This is because the sum of 21 is 3, which is the number of Jupiter, the planet of good luck. In the next 9 years, we'll even contact extra-terrestrials.

I think this discussion has ample reasons for you not to be panicked over the paltry predictions which don’t have an end. Enjoy the precious life given to you without any tension but the savings!!!

"INDIAN" Mujahideen

‘Mujahids’ or ‘Mujahideens ‘ are literary those who are involved in Jihad. ‘Indian Mujahideen’ claimed the responsibility for the latest serial bomb blasts in Bangalore, Ahmadabad, the bombs found in Surat and the threats to the government as well as to the people of India.

Indian Mujahideen is believed to be modulated form of SIMI with close links with LeT and JeM.SIMI (Student Islamic Movement in India) was founded in 1977 by Ahmadullah Siddiqi, now professor of journalism and public relation at Western Illinois University. It was founded as a student wing of Jammat-e-Islami Hind (JIM), later it went with its own ways of extremism. Due to its anti- nationalism activities it was banned many times in India.


The Indian Intelligence Bureau looks the new title as to revitalize their feeling and enthusiasm towards their work. The worst side of the coin is that it may indicate their change in tactics of getting support from Indian muslims rather than foreigners. If they are successful in getting any type of assistance from our people on some grounds, then this will be a great problem for the nation which will have an epochal effect on the history.
