Scams and Dailies


Typically news follows the LIFO concept,the last to get into your head is the first to get out. Scams and unscrupulous men make it to the front pages of our country's national newspapers while applauds and achievements make it to the last pages. If you don't believe me..then open our national daily "Hindu" and check out the last page for all the "good news". So it becomes natural for a person to open the last page, rather than the first at times.

Our nation's print and electronic media giants need to be introspect the kind of news they feed us with .The most respected journos are caught on tapes lobbying with scamsters! How could a journalist, write an article based on what a business lobbyist expects him to ? "Pen is mightier than sword" but here that proverb has been exploited.Is this a case of corruption? Newspapers and magazines in India were the means of spreading the truth that "Swaraj is my birth right and I shall have it" ,finally releasing us from the strings of British rule 63 years ago.Smart industrialists influence the minds of the common man through pens of these "elite" journos! For a month I have been making it a point to read who has written the article rather than what the article is about. Funny but that's how things are happening in our country. Very few individuals write what they think should reach the masses.
Twitter may be a micro blogging site but it has also been instrumental in showing the doors to the glib tongued of our nation from the most coveted posts. Wiki leaks seems to be more powerful in revealing the Truth!

Personally as a blogger I have written one about the UID project deeply impressed by the whole concept after watching a television program,but I realised that the concept has its dose of errors , after surfing to gather more details.Now my opinion is that its better to enclose the photocopies of the PAN card, Ration Card , Driving license as a proof of our identity, till we are tagged with the unique identity number.

So, here's a young Indian wishing that next Christmas she gets to open the newspaper, reading first to last, happily picking up the main paper first rather than the supplement to refresh her morning with more interesting news!

Merry Christmas !

Lakshya hai tera

These are the lyrics of the song from the hindi movie LAKSHYA sung my shankar mahadevan.


Haan yehi rasta hai tera, tune ab jaana hai
Haan yehi rasta hai tera, tune ab jaana hai
Haan yehi sapna hai tera, tune pehchaana hai

Haan yehi rasta hai tera, tune ab jaana hai
Haan yehi sapna hai tera, tune pehchaana hai
Tujhe ab ye dikhaana hai
Roke tujhko aandhiyaan, ya zameen aur aasmaan
Paayega jo lakshya hai tera
Lakshya toh har haal mein paana hai

Mushkil koyi, aajaaye toh, parbat koyi, takraaye toh
Taaqat koyi, dikhlaaye toh, toofaan koyi, mandlaaye toh
Mushkil koyi aajaaye toh, parbat koyi takraaye toh
Barse chaahe ambar se aag, lipte chaahe pairon se laakh -2
Paayega jo lakshya hai tera
Lakshya toh har haal mein paana hai

Himmat se jo koyi chale, dharti hille qadmon tale
Kya dooriyaan kya faasle, manzil lage aake gale
Himmat se jo koyi chale, dharti hille qadmon tale
Tu chal yunhi ab sub-o-shaam, rukna, jhukna nahin tera kaam -2
Paayega jo lakshya hai tera
Lakshya toh har haal mein paana hai

Haan yehi rasta hai tera, tune ab jaana hai
Haan yehi sapna hai tera, tune pehchaana hai
Tujhe ab ye dikhaana hai

Sattar Minute Hai Tumhare Paas


Shah Rukh Khan is acclaimed for those dialogues are pervasive to set right all the nuts and bolts of your body, especially when its from the movie Chak De India.
Here are the lyrics of the famous Sattar Minute( before the game of hockey is played Kabir Khan gives his final boost of confidence to his girls to prove it to the world...) AMAZINGG!! :):)
"sattar minute hai tumhaare paas...
shaayad tumhaare zindagi ke sabse khaas saattar minute..
Aaj tum achchha khelo ya bura
yeh sattar minute tumhe zindagi bhar yaad rahenge
toh kaise khelna hai, aaj main tumhe nahi bataaunga
bas itana kahunga, ki jaao aur yeh sattar minute jee bhar ke khel lo
kyun ki iske baad aanewaali zindagi mein,
chaahe kuchh sahi ho ya na ho..
chaahe kuchh rahe ya na rahe, tum haaro ya jeeto
lekin yeh sattar minute, tumse koi nahi chheen sakta, koi nahin!!
Toh maine socha ki iss match mein kaise khelna hai
aaj main tumhein nahi bataaunga, balki tum mujhe bataaoge, khel kar
kyun ki main jaanta hoon ki agar yeh sattar minute
iss team ka har player apni zindagi ki sabsi badiya hockey khel gaya
toh yeh sattar minute khuda bhi tumse waapas nahin maang sakata
toh jaao, jaao aur apne aap se, iss zindagi se, apne khuda se
aur har uss insaan se jisne tum par bharosa nahi kiya
apne sattar minute chheen lo" [actual dialogue]


70 minutes. you have 70 minutes
Probably the most important 70 minutes of your life
Today, whether you play well or not
You will remember these 70 minutes for the rest of your life
So I will not tell you how to play today,
All I will say is go out there and play these 70 minutes to their fullest
Because after this moment, whatever happens in life
Whether its good or not,
Whatever the end result is, whether you win or lose
No one can take these 70 minutes away from you, no one!
So, I have decided,
I will no tell you how to play today, YOU will tell me, by playing.
Because I know that in these 70 minutes, if every player in this team plays the best hockey game of her life
Then even God cannot take these 70 minutes away from you
So go! Go and from yourselves, from this life, from your God, and from every person who didn’t have faith in you
Go snatch your 70 minutes. [english translation.]


Remembered this two days before my first aptitude test for a job!
