Few open questions to amul boy

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T ENDORSE ANY POLITICAL PARTY.
Some Facts about Gandhi family and Congress..

Rahul Gandhi: "I feel ashamed to call myself an INDIAN after seeing what has happened here in UP".

PLEASE DON'T BE ASHAMED OF U.P. YET

Please don't be ashamed of Uttar Pradesh yet. Congress ruled the State for the Majority of the duration Pre Independence to Post Independence.. from 1939 to 1989 ( barring the Periods of Emergency.. Thanks to your Grand Mom Indira G. and a couple of transitional Governments)

8 out of the total 14 Prime Ministers of India have been from UP, 6 out of those 8 have been from Congress...

I think your party had more than half a century and half a Dozen PM's to build a State...

The Reason Mulayam Singh, subsequently came to Power is because your party wasn't exactly Gandhian in their dealings in the State.. So May be If you look at in totality the present chaos in UP is the outcome of the glorious leadership displayed by Congress in UP for about 50 years!

So Please don't feel ashamed as yet Dear Rahul.. For Mayawati is only using the Land Acquisition Bill which your party had itself used to LOOT the Farmers many times in the Past!

WHY DIDN'T YOUR PARTY CHANGE THE BILL WHEN IT WAS IN POWER FOR SO LONG?

Not that I Endorse what Mayawati is doing.. What Mayawati is doing is Unacceptable..

But the past actions of your party and your recent comments, puts a question mark on your INTENT and CONSISTENCY.



YOU REALLY WANT TO FEEL ASHAMED

But don't be disappointed, I would give you ample reasons to feel ashamed...

You really want to feel Ashamed..?

First Ask Pranav Mukherjee, Why isn't he giving the details of the account holders in the Swiss Banks.

Ask your Mother, Who is impeding the Investigation against Hasan Ali?

Ask her, Who got 60% Kickbacks in the 2G Scam ?

Kalamdi is accused of a Few hundred Crores, Who Pocketed the Rest in the Common Wealth Games?

Ask Praful Patel what he did to the Indian Airlines? Why did Air India let go of the Profitable Routes?

Ask Manmohan Singh. Why/What kept him quiet for so long?

Are Kalmadi and A Raja are Scapegoats to save Big Names like Harshad Mehta was in the 1992 Stock Market Scandal ?

Who let the BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY Accused go Scot Free? ( 20,000 People died in that Tragedy)

Who ordered the State Sponsored Massacre of SIKHS in 84?

Please read more about, How Indira Gandhi pushed the Nation Under Emergency in 76-77, after the HC declared her election to Lok Sabha Void!
(I bet She had utmost respect for DEMOCRACY and JUDICIARY and FREE PRESS)

I guess you know the answers already. So My question is, Why the Double Standards in Judging Mayawati and members of your Family and Party?

I condemn Mayawati. But Is She the only one you feel Ashamed for?

What about the ones close to you? For their contribution to the Nation's Misery is beyond comparison.

You talk about the Land being taken away from the Farmers. How many Suicides have happened under your Parties Rule in Vidarbha ? Does that Not Ashame You ?



THE 72,000 CRORE LOAN WAIVER

Your Party gave those Farmers a 72,000 Crore Loan Waiver. Which didn't even reach the Farmers by the way.

So, Why don't you focus on implementing the policies which your govt. has undertaken, instead of earning brownie points by trying to manufacture consent by bombarding us with pictures of having food with Poor Villagers....

You want to feel ashamed. You can feel ashamed for your Party taking CREDIT for DEBITING the Public Money (72,000 crores) from the Government Coffers and literally Wasting it...

You want to feel ashamed.. Feel ashamed for that...



WHY ONLY HIGHLIGHT THIS ARREST?

Dear Rahul, to refresh your memory, you were arrested/detained by the FBI the BOSTON Airport in September 2001.

You were carrrying with you $ 1,60,000 in Cash ( Similar to the Arrest of Rahet Fateh Ali Khan recently, because you han't decared that Amount) . US allowed $ 10,000 cash at Immigration.

9 HOURS he was kept at the Airport.

He was later freed on the intervention of the then Prime Minister Mr.Vajpayee.. FBI filed an equivalent of an FIR in US and released him.

When FBI was asked to divulge the information for the reasons Rahul was arrested by Right/Freedom to Information Activists... FBI asked for a NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE from Rahul Gandhi.

So Subramaniyam Swami wrote a Letter to Rahul Gandhi, " If you have NOTHING to HIDE, Give us the Permission"

HE NEVER REPLIED!

Why did that arrest not make Headlines Rahul? You could have gone to the Media and told, "I am ashamed to call myself an INDIAN?". Or is it that, you only do like to highlight Symbolic Arrests (like in UP) and not Actual Arrests ( In BOSTON)

Because it so happens RAHET FATEH ALI KHAN'S recent arrest was Splashed in the Media and Your arrest in 2001 hardly got a MENTION..

Kindly Clarify.....

In any case, you want to feel ashamed, Read Along...


YOUR MOTHER'S SO CALLED SACRIFICE OF GIVING UP PRIME MINISTER SHIP in 2004.

According to a Provision in the Citizenship Act.

A Foreign National who becomes a Citizen of India, is bounded by the same restrictions, which an Indian would face, If he/she were to become a Citizen of Italy.
(Condition based on principle of reciprocity)
[READ ANNEXURE- 1&2]


Now Since you can't become a PM in Italy, Unless you are born there.

Likewise an Italian Citizen can't become Indian PM, unless He/She is not born here!

Dr. SUBRAMANIYAM SWAMI (The Man who Exposed the 2G Scam) sent a letter to the PRESIDENT OF INDIA bringing the same to his Notice. [READ LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT IN ANNEXURE -3]

PRESIDENT OF INDIA sent a letter to Sonia Gandhi to this effect, the day she was about to get sworn in 2004.

Manmohan Singh was brought in the Picture at the last moment to Save Face!!

Rest of the SACRIFICE DRAMA which she choreographed was an EYE WASH!!!

So She didn't make any Sacrifice, It so happens that SONIA GANDHI couldn't have become the PM of INDIA that time.

You could be Ashamed about that Dear Rahul!!


THINK ABOUT YOURSELF.

You go to Harvard on Donation Quota. ( Hindujas Gave HARVARD 11 million dollars the same year, when Rajiv Gandhi was in Power)

Then you are expelled in 3 Months/ You Dropped out in 3 Months.... ( Sadly Manmohan Singh wasn't the Dean of Harvard that time, else you might have had a chance... Too Bad, there is only one Manmohan Singh!)

Some Accounts say, You had to Drop out because of Rajiv Ji's Assasination.

May be, But Then Why did you go about lying about being Masters in Economics from Harvard .. before finally taking it off your Resume upon questioning by Dr. SUBRAMANIYAM SWAMI (The Gentlemen who exposed the 2G Scam)

At St. Stephens.. You Fail the Hindi Exam.

Hindi Exam!!!

And you are representing the Biggest Hindi Speaking State of the Country?

SONIA GANDHI's EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

Sonia G gave a sworn affidavit as a Candidate that She Studied English at University of Cambridge
[SEE ANNEXURE-6, 7_37a]

According to Cambridge University, there is no such Student EVER! [ SEE ANNEXURE -7_39]

Upon a Case by Dr. Subramaniyam Swami filed against her,

She subsequently dropped the CAMBRIDGE CREDENTIAL from her Affidavit.

Sonia Gandhi didn't even pass High School.

In this sense, She shares a common Educational Background with Karunanidhi

You Fake your Educational Degree, Your Mother Fakes her Educational Degree.

And then you go out saying, " We want Educated Youth into Politics!"

Letters sent by Dr. Swami to EC and then Speaker of Lok Sabha are in ANNEXURE 7_36 &7_35 RESPECTIVELY

Contrast that with Gandhi Ji , who went to South Africa, Became a Barrister, on Merit, Left all that to work for South Africa, then for the Country....



WHY LIE ABOUT EDUCATIONAL CREDENTIALS?

Not that Education is a Prerequisite for being a great Leader, but then you shouldn't have lied about your qualifications!

You could feel a little ashamed about Lying about your Educational Qualifications. You had your reasons I know, Because in India, WE RESPECT EDUCATION!

But who cares about Education, When you are a Youth Icon!!



YOUTH ICON

You traveled in the Local Train for the first time at the Age of 38.

You went to some Villages as a part of Election Campaign.

And You won a Youth Icon!! ... That's why You are my Youth Icon.

For 25 Million People travel by Train Everyday. You are the First Person to win a Youth Icon for boarding a Train.

Thousands of Postmen go to remotest of Villages. None of them have yet gotten a Youth Icon.

You were neither Young Nor Iconic.:P

Still You became a Youth Icon beating Iconic and Younger Contenders like RAHUL DRAVID.

Shakespeare said, What's in a Name?

Little did he knew, It's all in the Name, Especially the Surname!

Speaking of Sir Name..


DO YOU REALLY RESPECT GANDHI, OR IS IT JUST TO CASH IN ON THE GOODWILL OF MAHATMA?

Because the Name on your Passport is RAUL VINCI. Not RAHUL GANDHI..

May be if you wrote your Surname as Gandhi, you would have experienced, what Gandhi feels like, LITERALLY ( Pun Intended)

But you don't seem to use Gandhi except when you are fighting Elections. ( There it makes complete sense).

Imagine fighting by the Name Raul Vinci...Even Leonardo Da Vinci couldn't win an Election in India with that Name!!

It feels sadly Ironic, Gandhi Ji, who inspired Icons like Nelson Mandela ,Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lennon, across the world, Couldn't inspire members of his party/ Nehru's Family, who only seem to use his Surname for the purposes of FIGHTING ELECTIONS and conveniently use a different name on their PASSPORT.

You could feel ashamed for your Double Standards.



YOUTH INTO POLITICS.

Now You want Youth to Join Politics.

I say First you Join Politics.

Because you haven't Joined Politics. You have Joined a Family Business.

First you Join Politics. Win an Election fighting as RAUL VINCI and Not Rahul Gandhi, then come and ask the youth and the Educated Brass for more involvement in Politics.

Also till then, Please don't give me examples of Sachin Pilot and Milind Deora and Naveen Jindal as youth who have joined Politics..

They are not Politicians. They Just happen to be Politicians.

Much Like Abhishek Bachchan and other Star Sons are not Actors. They just happen to be Actors ( For Obvious Reasons)

So, We would appreciate if you stop requesting the Youth to Join Politics till you establish your credentials...



WHY WE CAN'T JOIN POLITICS!

Rahul Baba, Please understand, Your Father had a lot of money in your Family account ( in Swiss Bank) when he died.

Ordinary Youth has to WORK FOR A LIVING.

YOUR FAMILY just needs to NETWORK FOR A LIVING

If our Father had left thousands of Crores with us, We might consider doing the same..

But we have to Work. Not just for ourselves. But also for you. So that we can pay 30% of our Income to the Govt. which can then be channelized to the Swiss Banks and your Personal Accounts under some Pseudo Names.

So Rahul, Please don't mind If the Youth doesn't Join Politics. We are doing our best to fund your Election Campaigns and your Chopper Trips to the Villages.

Somebody has to Earn the Money that Politicians Feed On.



INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS

You want to feel ashamed..

Feel Ashamed for what the First Family of Politics has been reduced to...

A Money Laundering Enterprise.

If MONEY is all the Motivation there is, You can Feel Ashamed for Sonia G's 'POVERTY of AMBITION'

You really want to feel Ashamed.

Feel Ashamed for what you ' SO CALLED GANDHI'S' have done to Mahatma's Legacy..

Meanwhile, I would request Sonia Gandhi to change her name to $ONIA GANDHI, and you could replace the 'R' in RAHUL/RAUL by the New Rupee Symbol!!!

RAUL VINCI : I am ashamed to call myself an Indian.

Even we are ashamed to call you so!



P.S: Popular Media is either bought or blackmailed, controlled to Manufacture Consent!

My Guess is Social Media is still a Democratic Platform.

Let's ask these questions, for we deserve some Answers.

For we are all Gandhi's. For he is the Father of the Nation.


To know more, Try looking for Dr. SUBRAMANIYAM SWAMI. He is the reason today 2G SCAM is being Investigated!!!

The Battle of Algiers (1960) Italian

French colonial ruleನ ವಿರುದ್ಧ Algerians ಸಾರಿದ ಭಯಂಕರ ಯುದ್ಧ ಅದು.

tour ಮುಗಿಸಿ ಬಂದವನಿಗೆ tvನಲ್ಲಿ ಒಳ್ಳೆ ಚಿತ್ರವೇ ನೋಡೋದಿಕ್ಕೆ ಸಿಕ್ತು.

ನಮ್ಮ ಭಾರತದ ಮೇಲೆ ಆಂಗ್ಲರು ದಾಳಿ ಮಾಡಿದ ಹಾಗೆ, Algeriaಕ್ಕೆ ಯುರೋಪಿಯನ್ನರು ವಲಸೆ ಬಂದು ಅಲ್ಲೇ establishಆಗಿ, Algeriansನ ಅಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಹೊರಹಾಕುವ ಕೆಲಸಕ್ಕೆ ಕೈಹಾಕುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಬೇಸತ್ತ ಜನ ಅಲ್ಲಿನ ಆಡಳಿತದ ಮೇಲೆ ತಿರುಗಿಬೀಳುತ್ತಾರೆ, ಮುಂದೆ ನಡೆದದ್ದು ಒಂದು ಚರಿತ್ರೆ. ಸರಕಾರ ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನಾಕಾರರನ್ನು ಹತ್ತಿಕ್ಕಲು ಮಿಲಿಟರಿ ಕರಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ. Col Mathieu militaryಯ ಮುಕ್ಯಸ್ಥ. ಆತ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಭಯಾನಕವಾಗಿ ಯುದ್ಧ ಮಾಡುವ ಮನುಷ್ಯ.

ಚಿತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಸನ್ನಿವೇಶಗಳು ತುಂಬಾ ನೈಜವಾಗಿ ಮೂಡಿಬಂದಿವೆ. ಜನಾಂಗೀಯ ನಿಂದನೆ, militaryಯಿಂದ ಆಗೋ ಹಿಂಸೆ,ಯುದ್ಧದಲ್ಲಿ ಗಂಡು ಹೆಣ್ಣು ಎಂಬ ಬೇಧ ಭಾವ ಇಲ್ಲದೆ ಪಾಲ್ಗೊಂಡ ಜನರು.. ಅಬ್ಬ ಅದ್ಭುತ.

tvನಲ್ಲಿ original movie ಹಾಕೋದಿಲ್ಲವಾದರೂ netನಲ್ಲಿ original movie ಸಿಗತ್ತೆ, French ಸರಕಾರ ನಿರ್ದೇಶಕನ ಮೇಲೆ೫ ವರುಷಗಳ ಕಾಲ ನಿರ್ಬಂಧ ಹೇರಿತ್ತಂತೆ. ಇವತ್ತಿಗೂ ಒರಿಜಿನಲ್ movieನ tvನಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಸಾರ ಮಾಡೋ ಹಾಗಿಲ್ವಂತೆ.೨೦೦೩ನಲ್ಲಿ USನ pentagonನಲ್ಲಿ screening ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ ಫ್ರೆಂಚರು ತಗಾದೆ ತೆಗೆದ್ದಿದ್ದರಂತೆ.

Blind questions to myself

When the opportunity or impulse is there... ACT

ACT = Act Concerned to the Time.

Why this three letter word irritates us, kindle us, awaken us, alight us…? No answer... But, what is the thing which makes ACT when we need to talk… is this the gravity which encourages us to form the motion of act or what exactly is that, is that a invisible attraction of mind or visible attraction of sense? What makes us think when it is the time to ACT?

As I have seen many times in my life, I kept the doors closed when opportunity was knocking hardly from outside. But till today I am not able to indentify myself about one thing! That’s: What inspired me to open a company in Bangalore? Was that idea a factual or wicked minds situation, which was humbling to open a company? Still no answer… Until time becomes everything, nobody can become even a single thing.

One thing I can guess about my past! Thinking about beautiful CITATION made my mind soft, sensitive and carved careful to ACT to the situations. When I got bad words in profession I felt like killing myself but when the fact was hard true! No Option, as their no other way except to accept that fact.

But did a cup of coffee with a few voice exchanges arouse me to GO AHEAD and open a company? Actually what exactly went on that day? My partner was just willing to open a company and finance for that and my mind was just looking for a support to the strong base. As even I know that, I am writing a stupid and nonsense article on my past. Though even I know it’s a waste of time...

As I founded no other way to find the answer on, what exactly inspired me on that particular day and what made me to ACT for that situation? But the result is truly astonishing. VISUAL PERCEPT was never my dream. I just dreamed about a company but those dreams were not having colors, shape and thoughts. But it happened and we both acted according to the TIME!

And the fact was I. I acted according to my thoughts carefully… as I am the masterpiece of my own life. And even I feel it’s a magic that I am getting answers to my question day by day. And the thing is I don’t need to complicate all the "reasons" behind my emotions. It's much simpler than that. Two categories finally came in mind; those are good feelings, bad feelings. I locked my option to good feelings… and the route went to success. And then I was attracted by everything which was required - money, people, relations… and tried to PAY ATTENTION to what's being set in front of you.

After all things happened I went for a ride to a hill station with my (.......?) and we sat on top of the hill asking ourselves what was our dreams and how it got such a shape, color and what made us ACT, and finally how we both meet and what made us to talk each others? Once we both thought about the love life but the same way, dream was not having any person and the dreams were almost blank _______. Simply we used to spend time with a cup of coffee and used to miss each others. But what exactly is that which is making me to miss someone… is that a attraction or a commitment?
No Answer

Well no more time is left for me! I have to attend a meeting after two hours and have to prepare for that… and again bring my mind to the present world! And make it ready to ACT according to the TIME!

The question arise is that, either we have to ACT according to the situation or the time… and is time differs from situation?

Never read this article for second time because this is what I am asking to MYSELF and trying to find the answers…

"You create your own universe as you go along" Winston Churchill
I am creating my own Univer....!

positive thinking

This is nice - finding positive out of every negative - which we don't always manage to do.
I am thankful...

1. For the husband or wife who snores all night, because
he or she is at home asleep with me and not with someone else.

2. For my teenage daughter who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means
she is at home & not on the streets.

3. For the taxes that I pay because it means that
I am employed.

4. For the mess to clean after a party because it means that
I have been surrounded by friends.

5. For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means
I have enough to eat.

6. For my shadow that watches me work because it means
I am out in the sunshine.

7. For a floor that needs mopping, and windows that need cleaning because it means
I have a home.

8. For all the complaining I hear about the government because it means that
we have freedom of speech.

9. For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking and that
I have been blessed with transportation.

10. For the noise I have to bear from my neighbours because it means that
I can hear.

11. For the pile of laundry and ironing because it means
I have clothes to wear.

12. For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means
I have been capable of working hard.

13. For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because itmeans that
I am stilll alive.

AND FINALLY ....... for received e-mails because it means I have friends who are thinking of me, at least

Interesting history.......

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Blind

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend.
He was always there for her.
She told her boyfriend,'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'
One day,someone donated a pair of eyes to her.
When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything,including her boyfriend.
He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?....
The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind.
The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her.
She hadn't expected that.
The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.
Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to hersaying:
'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before,and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.
Life Is a Gift
Today
Before you say an unkind word -Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food -Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife -Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion
Today
before you complain about life -Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before whining about the distance you drive -Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job -Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down -Put a smile on your face and think:you're alive and still around.
'I believe that those we love are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.'
