Life at Mumbai --Part1

2009-06-12T11:27:00.003+05:30

Been there n back ...
jotted down few things but couldn't upload as I felt bloging at internship would be a bit unethical :D...
So here goes the first post

THE METRO
I remember a professor’s story where he held a jar in the class, filled it with balls and asked “Is this full?” Everyone replied in affirmative and then he filled it with smaller stones , this went on till it was filled with sand and finally he pored 2 cups of coffee ... which if I remember correctly signified that … well we always have time to have a cup of coffee with friends.. the jar being the life .. full of problems, relations etc etc …
When I boarded the metro today from Andheri this story just came flashing by .. but in a different way … the train seemed like this jar filled up to the point where the prof pored this cup of coffee … in this case the compartments was filled with people like a perfect frappe … not an inch remaining ..
As the train stopped at the next station…. I was thinking .. well few people hanging from the door will go .. things will get better .. but to my surprise .. a bunch of people magically managed to get in this already overflowing frappe and everything seemed to be stable again .. 6 people sitting contently in a place for 3 with few more standing on their faces. Everyone looking oblivious of the smelting head and humidity enjoying their journey .. and to my own surprise even I was enjoying it . Then came the next station .. and bang few more got in .. no one seemed to get down .. and the compartment seemed like a magical box accommodating the increasing population . Then came the station Bandra and within a blink of an eye everything was empty … nada.. gone .. zilch.. seemed like a can of beer was opened after a vigorous shaking … everyone managed to get out from the small opening all in merely 10 sec time.. and then the train seemed strangely deserted.. a person or two sitting on a place once occupied by 6 .. the best expression on a face of a small child who got an empty seat ..the one completely empty .. that small girl sat there giving a smile as if the princess has got her throne .. hail thy highness  … and after some time my station came and I got down … happy to have completed my first metro journey alone :D yippee :P.

Dev D

2009-02-10T19:41:00.002+05:30

After reading a lot and browsing thru the website Dev D we finally took the chance to watch this first day itself ...
Total people inside the theater 17-20 which included 8 of us iimcians, a couple , a family with elderly people and some bunch of random people.
The elderly people to this movie :O we guessed that it might be the effect ofTOI Review 'cas they din look like the netsavy types.
The movie started with devdas of our times giving a sorta booty call to his paaro asking for her pic of more intimate types :P.. the call of true love makes the lady hunt for a shop to scan her up close n personal pic and send it to mr deol.. makes us wonder the many advantages that ICT(in short the technology, Internet bla bla bla... for those who are unaware of wat ICT means) could have bought to this whole issue empowering my deol of live and direct feed while minimising the net effort by ms paaro..
Having seen her new self makes mr deol aware of the time .... the time has come .... finally he has an aim in his life ....
Dev: paaroo mai aa raha hu ...
Junta in theater: vo mail hume bhi chiye .. hum bhi aate hain
couple in theater: WTF

After few scenes we c ms paaro going to the farm with a mattress rolled on cycle with her love being informed of it ... any guesses y :P... However the couple(here in the hall) seems to have been uninformed abt the movie .. finds the reason for the morning cycling of Ms paaro and cycles out of the haal .. he he he he ..
Somewhere down the line Mr dev having learned abt ms paaro's adventures feels pissed off and run out of the village landing at ms chanda's place who we learn is a victim of the ICT herself... not that c got some bad grade .. but mms case u c ...
later we had the famous emotional aatyachar on full volume .. with us sitting like amir khan of rangeela fame.. with loads of great camera work and nice music ... ending with mr dev recognising the truth ... the true aim .. in short 'THE GYAN'... that its not paaro ... its chanda ... may be 'cas the initial pic was photoshoped or whatever might be the reason with mr dev saying "maine kabhi paaro ko thik se dekha hi nahi "... dev meets chanda again n they lived happily ever after...
Moral of the story ... ICT can empower people and prevent dev from running after some photoshoped gal only to find the truth later

HERE I AM

2008-06-29T01:23:00.006+05:30

On the outskirts of a sleepy town there lies a small hamlet that never sleeps.
A place where proffs are respected n revered...
A place whose alums include names like Ajit Balakrishnan,Shantanu Khosla,Mastan Malli ,Indra Nooyi and countless other greats ...
A place where the 'fachhas n fachhis' are welcomed with a BANG .. a BANG which can be heard,felt and lived (yes lived for a week ) but can never be told.. "cas i can tell u but then .. i have to kill u :P"
A place where avg IQ is greater than the avg weight (at least..thats the perception)
A place which the people here call heaven
Welcome to IIM Calcutta ..
Welcome to IIM Chill ..
Chill
'cas ppl can wrk 20 hrs a day n can still find time to play games n pranks :)
'cas ppl manage I-Banks n Rock-Bands with equal ease
'cas ppl play manager n rocker with panache
'cas ppl work hard and party harder

Here I am - this is me
There's no where else on earth I'd rather be
Here I am...........

First week at IIM C

2008-06-21T17:10:00.002+05:30

Initially i thought of writing about my first day at iimc which in some way was quite happening ... but then as the days passed every day was more happenin than the previous day and so i decided on this .. the week

Came down to Kolkata with my parents on 16th morning n after a long a slow ride we reached THE place JOKA .
we decide to get fresh in the hotel nearby .. so after the visit to hotel artland .. we entered the hallowed portals of the IIM C
The first impression .. mm well it wasn't so great .. as i came from bangalore (after few days in delhi ) so i found the place tooo humid .. but then there are lakes all around in campus ...
on the gate i met shashank.. our papaji here [:D] he guided me to the reporting place .. ramanujam hostel (aka old hostel) .. the person there .. a cool n smiling man .. made me sign a paper and volia .. i got the room .. the new hostel .. west wing 317 ..
sounded nice .. specially so 'cas it said new hostel .. so obviously new things .. better things then the rest of the hostel ( later we found that its not the case )
....
contd..

I'V DONE IT

2008-05-01T23:03:00.002+05:30

Finally .. i can say proudly . yes i have done it :D
Starting with the last blog down this one .... surprisingly .. i converted that as well
and that makes 4 of em .. and it feels heavenly to CHOOSE A COLLEGE AMONG LIST OF IIMs
Dad n Mom are excited :D .. calling each n everyone and m getting a million calls of congratulations ...
Feels heavenly ... feels like a dream come true ..But THIS BIG dream i haven't even dreamt of .. Its like things falling in all the right places and the whole world is working just for me ..
So here i come IIM .. calcutta ... sorry L I K but I'll reject u guys :( kya karu .. hope they don't mind it :D
Now its time to PARTYYY ...
n how i feeeel

after the todays afternoon treat by yours truely .. we went to some shopping .. me n ma friends... went to landmarks and were seeing some books .. then they ask me abt some book :D
and i say .. abe 'its all abt words' le le .. mere ko ek IIM wale ne suggest kiya tha .. now an IIM guy is suggesting you ... saying that .. i felt on top of this world ..

now i'll hover above the top of this world for many more days to come :D

LIFE IS PARTY
ENJOY

Bullet in the head

2008-03-01T00:29:00.002+05:30

I'll bang my car with my fellow passengers (poor souls) in the wall and burn along with them ..
great . awsom ... comeon some one please tell em .. how to live .. first .. U DONT BANG THE CAR IN THE WALL AT 100MPH ..
'Cas after that u wont be really listenin to NEONE'e suggestion on the ways to live ..

Then come the bullet in the head .. ye bullet in the head (not the one from rage against the machine . thats okish )
.. i really got to find the lyricist of this AWSOM song (is this really a song??? ) and .... mmm .... give a bullet in his head (or at least give him a sleeping pill ( or a bottle of that :P ) ..
It started with bullet in the head ... then few other words with lotsa muthafucka and generalfucka stuff .. with furthur profanities for the gov n police i guess and finally kept repeating ..bullet in the head .. till .. someone gave him one i guess ..

I kept thinkin . wat if something from the likes of mr kishore kumar was played here ... :D would have actually decreased the pub's sale where i was sitting ..goin thru the agony of listning such AWSOM ..ROCK song thrown on my ears ..'cas i guess people where drinking .. kyoki "use bardast kar sake " :P

PS: i dont drink ... so mujhe bardast nahi hua .. :D

Random TITbits

2008-01-11T00:33:00.000+05:30

Never had this kind of feeling before
somethin like too sedated to feel the pain or too happy to feel sad or .. donno wat
that rather sounds grim but thats how things are mixed up
n every after every few seconds frm past 48 hrs i feel elated :D :D :D
went to cloud 11 made a new cloud 12 n back to earth to get complete the unfinished business ..

Felt like my b'day rather my b'day multiplied by iself in effect .
Never knew that i can make so many ppl happy proud glad all at the same time .
Specially felt great making someone feel proud (jus came to know abt it :D)
and that cloud 12 was made when i first conveyed THE NEWS to dad and herd his reactions .Herd those golden words that i always wanted to hear from the time i was kid,
even orkut said
Today's fortune: When winter comes heaven will rain success on you
and i am feeling chilly from past few days too .. (din even take bath for 2 days ,.. my friends will say this is normal for me ... n hell .. i totally agree :D)

But the glory is fleeting , cas the job is not finished the war is still on and i hope the GOD keeps smiling on me n the heaven's rain keep pourin in :D till the very end.

Love u all
Cheers
Partyyy
enjoy
Karmendra

wrk had been intresting from past few months .. (some wat more interesting .. now its already HAD BEEN ) so its time to write .. write .. n write some more ..
everyday somethin new ..
while lookin at the bright side i found few things to consol myself .. few lame excuses and nothin concrete as such .. but the best being ..i'll get 1 more month for somethin more important than goin to chinkiland ...
n wats tat still remains to be found .. but m sure i'll find it .. soooner or soooooner ..

cheers

No More Blogging

2007-08-04T16:21:00.000+05:30

Its sat afternoon and m sitting here writing this at home.
This isn't my idea of how a weekend should b like .So let me make one thing clear
the blogs which kept coming at fast pace was all because of my 'generous' company who gave me ample time and freedom to do so in company's time.. but but but .. not anymore .. seems like the Admin ppl woke up from slumber and decided to cut down on our happiness quota and hence blogspots and any other blog site is banned :(
this means .no more bloggin.. no more dilbert .. no more story
and that effectively means .. my looong story will never be written :( ..not for now

so c ya when i c ya

keep loving

And the goat lept..

2007-07-10T16:43:00.000+05:30

Finally ...
The long awaited journey/celebration happened and happened in a great way.. story is long but will be jotted down here ... slowly

Harry potter 7

2007-07-04T18:11:00.000+05:30

Finally .. i got the book online .. thanks to pirates ,although i am against piracy but time an again my dark side takes over me and i get hold of some pirated stuff (this usually happens whenever a new movie is released .. for novel it was perhaps the first time )
M not a die hard potter maniac but i do like reading them and since i already finished the previous 6 i couldn't stop myself from readin the last one ..
It so happened that a friend of my which-shall-not-be-named got hold of this book and was generous enough to pass it to me and my quest to cover the 659 page long book started
Being in a great company which usually provides me with lots of extra time i started reading it there and continued my journey in potterland after i reached home till the ve hours of morning , along with this , i mailed it to a adherent potter fan for verifying its guniness.. turns out that this one is fake ,.. but then its still interesting and i couldn't stop myself from reading it till the end
So yesterday ,rather today morning 2 am i finished it .. YESSS
** spoliers ahead :D ****
turns out that this author (definetely not j k rowling ) is a bit inspired by sheldon as well and thus provided ample material to fantasize , i can have to agree that that perticular writer was able to wieve a fine story and joined all the missing links and provided a nice ending giving a possiblity of another installment ,which proves that its not written by rowling 'cas c has toled that she wont continue writting and thus she will definetely kill the merchandize , for which the best way is to kill harry in the end ,that doesn't seems to happen here .. rather its a 'they lived happily ever after ' scene with a new voldermat in form of dudley ..
So .. waitin for the original one
Cheers

With the support from UPA Mrs(or miss i donno) Patil is set to become our next president, and what a great record she has , a closed cooperative bank with around 20 crores of public money cheated , a closed sugar mill with equally big losses and lots a other things that are floating in public
Personally i don't know they are true or false but based on what i read i think they are and the person like kalam is not allowed for a second chance
And yet again we have cm like mayawati who amassed huge wealth (50 crores i think ) by humble donation of 5 or ten rupee by 'janta'
Bravo
That's our 'leaders'
God Help INDIA

how suicide bombers are made

2007-06-20T12:04:00.000+05:30

I never believed that someone speaks something as nonsensical as u'll go to heaven and will get 70 (few more or less)virgin girls etc etc bla bla and the guy who gave his ear to hear such stuff will be ready to hide some sweet bombs down his ass ans ready to blow up some ppl in order to get the ticket to the place described above ..
i always thought that ppl like those must have had a weak, pathetic mind but then in that case i should describe myself as something worse (m not gettin any proper word for it ) for it didn't take a single virgin ..rather it took 3 virgin (perhaps :P) GUYS and merely 3 days to shook my confidence .
but thanks to one of those guys again i regained it back ,
("...best part is that u r really believing this....... ")
and it made me think harder and to check my basic understanding about MY SELF , for if i cant believe in myself then how can anybody else?
and in this beautiful world is filled with ppl who like to shake and destroy the confidence of others (they wont help u regain it ,as it happened with my friends)
so this small incidence left a impression on myself
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
and then i remember what shrek said
"if someone calls you a monster or a loser, it doesn't mean you are one"
learn to believe in yourself
so with that petty but important incidence i learned to c myself as what i am.
A guy showered with lots of blessings, loving parents ,nice job ,and nice friends who can shake your confidence only to help u rebuild it with greater strength again
Kudos to all u guys
and hey M LOVING IT

Ps: dont follow the white rabbit, it'll basically shit in your hand eat lotsa grass and that's all :P
PPs: other than 3 ppl ..no one will understand what that means .. dont't try to
just ejoy life

cheers

20 ways to be happy :D

2007-06-18T12:07:00.000+05:30

First of all, the ways n ideas are not mine ,may be I'll add or change some of them just so that i can call this plagiarism and not copying or better still i got "inspiration" from somewhere :)
anyways here are the ways to be happy

1: count your blessings ONCE A WEEK , if u do it more often u'll get bored and boredom leads to unhappiness
2: Hear lotsa music ,(caution .. i tried it a bit too much and in a higher volume and as a result m going to ent doc today )
3: Canoodle or at least snog ,after all everyone likes a bit of petting and flattery
4: Get spiritual ,it can provide u a sense of support and prayers reduce anxiety
5: Dance with me , well the point is to move your body ,so dance,exercise,jog,
anything u like and a word of advice ,better don't dance with me , it may make u feel good but chances are that it may make ur feet feel bad
6: laugh out LOUD
7: Do something good for someone ,like buy me a trip to Bahamas :D
8: make more money .. that's quite obvious, now don't remember Midas, that's an old story
9: and lastly ,Read my blog :D

actually there were a lot more but i got bored of and boredom leads to unhappiness (refer to 1) so i quit , and became happy again :D
That way i got bored of working in company so i had a choice of quitting the company or stop working , i stopped working from sometime (read quite some time ) and this is really making me happy
so CHEERS

Ps: editing done 'cas "the stud" sujit found numerous mistakes which hindered his sense of understanding and his ability to go any further than the first few lines.

Pps: this blog is just my thoughts presented in my way and so naturally u got to stoop to lowly levels of my understanding , anyways thanks for trying .

Is this madness

2007-06-15T13:55:00.000+05:30

Rajnikanth's importance could be well understood from the fact that one day the traffic in chennai was at a standstill all because rajnikanth's 'fans' were celebrating his b'day and also from the fact that Mr karunanidhi came with his "two wives" (yep ..i read abt this in TOI today ) to watch the movie.
And the most important , i stood in the line after soooo many years to get the tickets for the movie .. yesss.. i went just to acompany my friend vinod is just another matter .. but man i stood for close to half hour and then i came back to my office but kudos to vinod ,for he stood for nearly an hour n half and grabbed those tickes which have now become a prized possession for ne rajni fan .

There in Innovative multiplex (the place where i stood for 15 min and vinod for 90 min) i got the first glimpse of the rajni craze. The multiplex was barricaded from all sides and entrance was guarded, allowing 5 ppl to enter the campus at a time for gettin "THE TICKET" and from wat the guard told us , the ppl had queued up from 4 am ,yes 4 in the morning ,all for gettin the ticket for the first day firsdt show, which is now sold at a whooping 250 .

My second tryst with the rajni hysteria was in early morning next day .. The cnbc morning calls started with Mr Udyan n behold instead of stock here they are talkin about wat .. yup u got it right .. rajnikanth and sivaji..

So callin the current frenzy over "sivaji" a mere madness will be close to blasphemy ,for the great rajnikanth is revered,worshipped and idolized .

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

By -William Ernest Henley

whatever happens ..happens for ..??

2007-06-11T14:23:00.000+05:30

The sayin goes like "whatever happens happens for the good "
So how to interprate it ?
To me it seems like .. it means whatever happens for anyone ,happens for his/her goodness . Is it really the case ? Well i think not ,for i have seen countless number of pepople who can vouch agianst it, against the whole saying and whoever started it ,may be i am shortshighted, i don't understand the "big picture", may be i don't understand the complex mechanism where the good lord above governs all and provides happiness and misery in measures only he knows whats best suited for us , but then we are mere mortals ,and we can look only as far as our eyes and lifetime permit and in this lifetime if we dont see the goodness hidden in the "not so good" act by the supreme then we are bound to feel hatered against whoever putforth the saying.
These "fundas" always came in my mind and i remember havin a discussion with my friends ( i was rather eatin there head ) but then yesterday while on my way to a party i saw few enunches on road and the whole saying flashed in my mind .
How are these ppl an act of goodness ? Why are they sidelined in the society for something that has been an act of the lord and thereby an act for someone's benefit ,but whose?
For these are the mere outcast who just live on and die in oblivion and the world goes on . Being born the way they are ,how can they/us justify the saying?

So here comes a new modified saying
"whatever happens ..was meant to happen"
now good or bad depends ..it can be good or it can be bad .. it can be god or it can be evil
and by this i remember the dailog from The Usual Suspect
"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist"
In fact he does .and whatever happens here is ..say .. a game being played by the two god and evil and we are just the pawns being played for good or for bad depending upon who you are played by

baap re .. ok aaj ke liye bahut hua :D
cheers

My Contributions towards economy

2007-06-08T12:20:00.000+05:30

Having done my part of job for my company and gettin lotsa free time in reward i decided to utilize the time for a noble cause
Evaluating all the choices i had ,i ended up determined to provide my humble contribution towards the growth of our ecenomy and how ... share market :D
Well 'cas in my opinion , investing in share is the most direct way of investing in the economy and hence being a part of the ecenomic boom.
So my quest began with a paltry sum (y to mention .. u can imagine the sum ppl like me can invest in such a noble n humble cause)
With first few steps marred by the jitters and shock of the market i made an early descision .. share is not my cup of tea (and the fact ki "mujhe bahut jaldi chuul ho jaati hai ")'cas i always ended up giving my part of share to the economy and never seemed to get back the economy's share .. in short i made losses n more of them
Then came the harshad bhai aka sachin .. his first shot was a century and then on he played like sachin of "the past" hittin sixers and boundries with every investment .
This infused in me a new life and i started a new enning under the supervision of our fund manager ..
things went good and some even better .. i felt i could buy the merc soon (:D) and then one day .. came the nitin fire ... i bought and in evenin read my astrological prediction (i usual dont .. its just the fun part for me .. ) in that it said " loss from fire "
next day nitin fire hit lost all fire and hit a low .. then the nest day it hit a new low .. and my dream of buyin that merc now seems elusive :P ..
But them i am proud to contribute towards my ecenomy :D

SAVE OUR PLANET

2007-06-07T15:50:00.000+05:30

Lots a hoopla is going around about green peace ,environment ,blah blah blah
So in here I'll scribble about my idea on how to save environment ,how to cut down on fuel ,and the likes

Work from home THE MOST IMP STEP TOWARDS SAVING EARTH
Now this can have loads of advantages .. here are few of them
1: since u got to use some means of travelling and that will not be a cycle or ur leg, so if u work from home u save a lot of oil this in turn saves lots of co2 emission
2:ur office will have AC .. so in ur absence you end up saving the electricity as the AC will have to work less
3:in office u will use the PC (work or not .. on to rahega hi) ..in case u r working from home .. laptops can be put to sleep for sometime (that time can range from 1 hr to 8 hrs ) ..so lots of electricity is saved again
4: Count the number of times drink tea coffee etc etc .. all this being saved
5: think about .. lifts .. ur cubical light
6: Since u r working from home .. u might also skip ur bath .. and save buckets of water
7: u can even forget to shave ..and save those aerosol filled shaving creams
8: U wont have to iron ur clothes and you will save more energy
9: in long term u wont have to buy new clothes ,this in turn will reduce production of clothes
which will reduce lots of pollution caused by these industries

So SAVE OUR PLANET
work from home

cheers

Bangalore --Bangalooru

2007-06-06T12:02:00.000+05:30

Not so long ago in my school days i had this classmate named gangadhar .This guy before came up with a very weired request of changing his name from gangadhar to gangasagar ,reason,i was never able to fathom ,may be from just a dhar (a stream in hindi) he found its more supreme,more majestic being a complete sagar(sea), his reason being entirely his after all he's the one who should have the control over what the people should call his ,and finally before the boards exam he got his names majestically magnified.
I laughed at the whole incident but now i feel utterly sad n confused when the names of the places are changed .
Do we really need to change the name to show that we are now free , free to do what we like ,are we so insecure about our freedom that we have to stoop to levels which are far from being productive and which just quench the sense of lordship and control
Has anyone thought as to why Madras was names chennai , well they say chennai was names after the king chenna..
sorry i forgot the complete name but one thing i still remember to have read is that he as basically from Andhra pradesh .
So what great motive did it serve ???
Apart from the fact that the famous madras sappers will be confused ,the stations will be renamed giving employment to painters, the madrasi silk will be antic ( pata nahi ) and maddus will be called chaddus :D all in the name of politics
And now we have the silicon city to the city of boiled beans conversion ala bangalore to bangaloruu .. and strange enough i find a plenty of people supporting the cause .. can anyone help me ???
What will we benefit .. for i find the change of names always leads to the need to re-establish the brand it has created , as it has happened with my company ( man i think i m in middle of change of names game )
My company's name got changed due to merger and then changed again and now the management is busy building the brand name again ,which they say is not so easy task ,Here however the change of name of a necessity for the fact that a number of companies came together so all got to loose their identity and form a new brand together BUT Y BANGALORE

Bangalore brand is so much well known that bangalored has entered the lingo abroad for the people loosing their job and hence bangalored .Its synonyms with the indian silicon city all over the world ,so what greatness will we exert by changing it to bangaloruu ,apart from creating jobs for painter, and the change in god knows how many places.
What needs to change ,and which will still be the same whether its silicon city or boiled bean bag ,is the traffic ,lack of infrastructure and well lack of night life
What obviously will follow is more change .. not in the places but in their names
The Question remains .. what do we gain from it ????
To me it looks like the utter futile effort to portray a sense of control , for its hard to create and engineer new ideas but to just rename then for vanity is just a cakewalk

Take whatever U can ..Give back nothing

2007-06-06T11:07:00.000+05:30

The Pirates took what ever they could .. our time ..our money .. n to some extent our boredome(at cost of our sainity) and gave back.... the most expected thing entertainment can't really fit that bill for this movie "The Pirates of Carrebian ..At world's end"
It was rather at Wits End and sadly seems it wasn't an end afterall ,for we saw the great Captain Jack Sparrow whinning and sailing in a duffle boat towards the elusive Black Pearl (or may be towards the "new" sunken treasure from the great map he stole ...who knows ..and well ..WHO CARES
The most entertaining part was the 15 min break .. where we saw one of the best commercial and very in splits for a long time (arguably the commercial should fall in an altogether different show timing :D)
Watching the movie can be termed a criminal offence but sometimes everyone likes to get to the other side of the line and missing the POC might be termed as pettie crime too .. so y not check the extremes and then anythin done with 7 good cheerfull (n fattebaaj) friends is always fun and adding to it was the drive from PVR to airport at 2am in drizzle ..
I know things can better than this but still M LOVIN IT :D

A white man's burden..

2007-06-05T12:14:00.000+05:30

I often read and hear about the glories of our past and how better off we would have been if our "ignorant and selfish elite" wouldn't have got lured by the sparkle of modernity shown by the east india company .
Looking at our glorious past ,we can find what can be termed as patchwork of development which most of the time gave a glimpse of the narcissistic nature of the our elite class ,who for the sake of love made "tajmahal" ,for sake of pride made "lalquila" but what about the sake of people who they ruled for countless years.
Did the East India Company come with the sole aim of colonization?
No, they just found a new market where they can earn profit .It was the lure and the greed they found among our Elite rulers who were ready to lay down red carpet for these traders for the modern facilities ,which enabled them to become traders to rulers and naturally to oppressors

For a moment if we imagine ,that they never came , that colonialism was just a figment of imagination ,then how would we have been.
To begin with , the famed kohinoor would still have been decked in the throne of the maharaja of patiala and not broken down and displayed in the royal crown
The Country (well what country ) .. the present situation would have had nearly 10 big n countless small kings ruling their empire with their whims n fancies
The "Nawabs" would have been richer with more diamond ,pearls and countless others gems to flout .
The Kings of punjab and rajesthan would have had many more mercs than perhaps the few we have in india (this for the fact that .. at the time of their rule they already had some 25(or more??) cars .. which are now their vintage collection)
but then how about electricity,railways,postal service...
Well saying that the rulers would have neglected these basic need would be close to blasphemy
'cause we have the great grand trunk road built by Sher sah suri which acts a lifeline in parts of bihar n lots of other places, the question here is
how effectively this could have been done ?
With more than 10 big rulers each having their own turf ,running them in their own way ,having their own objective and each having the "obvious" secret of expanding their empire ,the necessary need for collaboration would be a far cry ,this would naturally impact US (not the USA).
If we take the example of NEPAL, which was "lucky" enough to be left untouched by colonial oppression then i think we might feel bad for the good feeling we are actually feeling by comparing their market and our , their development and our ,their GDP and ours
But then some might point to china..
The mighty kingdom ,never bore the burnt of colonialism ,but then the condition of china was vastly different from that we had.China was ruled by a single king,the dynasty was not fragmented, religion was not diverse ,in case of India the conditions were entirely opposite ,and we still enjoy(always?) the diversity of region n religion,It was because of the oppression that we saw the rise of global leaders ,i don't really know that if Mr mohan das was not thrown out of the train compartment we might have seen bapu or not, and which in turn saw the rise of unity , thanks to mr patel who got some unity by force as well, as a result of which we became what we are (and this has impact on US .. this time USA :P)
But then this is just a thought ,and thoughts i believe are like arts works created by the artist as a metaphysical representation of the world around him which may or may not suit the present society at large .
SO WHAT

Y a Black Page

2007-06-05T11:35:00.000+05:30

On Starting a new blogpage(with the last try goin for a toss ) i thought to save energy as well,
and how to do it . Well simply by using this black background .
Considering the fact that the blog being hit (jokes are party of life yaar)
Each hit will save energy by reducing the amount of power consumed by an average LCD to display the web content by a factor equaly to the difference between the energy required for it to display the black page n same for the white one (considering i might have used the white one )
which amount to a NOT SO SMALL power saving .

Ps: obviously not my idea .. i just happen to read it in one fo the articles about how much energy can be saved if the google page was turned black :D
cheers
