Jaago Voter Jaago

My innocent attempt to deflate my frustration about the dirty politics that is going on in our country. Also, let me warn you that my Hindi can sometimes be as messy as the politics in our country ;-]

Aaj tak toh vaade sabhi ney kiye
Par yeh to dekho kisne kitne nibhaye
Pakki sadakein, subsidised rashan pani
Khokhle saare vaadein, jhoothi tassali
Saanth saalon se buss yeh chala aa raha hai
Aam aadmi ek pal ki khushi ko tarass raha hai
Bane hai neta sabse vote kharid kharid kar
Kisiko chand paise, toh kisiko bottle de kar
Samasyaoon se bhara pada hai hamara desh
Isse aur nichod rahe ye neta badal badal bhes
Iss yudh mein dikthe sirf bhai, behen, beta
Buss aapas mein hee ulajha aaj ka neta
Arey desh ka, prajatantra ka kuch toh socho
Apni jebe bharna bandh, pragati ka kuch karo
Abb kuch hoga, iss aas mein nikalte paach saal
Par aaj bhi udaas karta hai, iss raajniti ka sawaal
Aur kitna kare intezar, uss neta ka bharosa
Jisne har baar, har kadam par humey loota
Kuch karo, yeh desh chilla raha hai, mujhe suno
Arey apne hi dharti maa ke lalchi saudagar na bano
Abb nahi hota bardaash, band karo goondaraaj
Nangn na karo isse, Bharat ki rakho kuch toh laaj
Inse nahi hota, to hum hee kuch kar jayenge
Sochenge sabhi tabhi kuch saccha kar payenge
Karo sahi chunaav, do ek pramaan sacchayee ko
Hamara har ek vote kimti hai, isse vyarth na karo
Hope meri Hindi padd kar tum sab jaag gaye ho :-D

Down The Memory Lane - The Times of DD

The weekend was bad, rather not so good; my back ache had buckled me to the bed, not allowing me to stay in one position for more than 4-5 minutes. I was surfing through the television channels lying on bed, and soon I noticed that I was doing nothing but going from 0 to 54 (that is the only number of channels I have on my television) and then again 0 to 54, and then again and again. I was tired watching that Indo-Pak terror debate, reality shows were irritating me, and I couldn’t handle any more breaking news with my broken back, neither was I interested in any kind of saas-bahu or the rona-dhona type of soaps, south Indian films dubbed in hindi were a big NO, I was in no mood for business news either, I had also had enough of Ghajini and Rab Ne trailors, songs, and reviews. I remember, only thing that possibly kept me glued to any particular channel was the advertisements – Limca (I love this ad for its jingle, the zing, and the babe, of course), Raymond, Bingo , few insurance

The Tormenting Tale of TimesJobs

Important: Please read my earlier post on Timesjobs.com . The reference to context will then be simpler. My experience with Timesjobs.com has been vexatious. It has almost turned out to be like "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" . If Emily saw ghosts at 3am in the morning, I would often wake up with the nightmare of Timesjobs.com personnel (mostly a Sonia Oberoi or Rekha Singh) asking me if "I am in the right job" or someone else offering me a "Citibank Credit Card" Yes, a credit card indeed. Timesjobs.com itself is out of job or providing jobs and hence has started selling credit cards - IRONY, I surmise. All my attempts to "UNSUBSCRIBE" from their job alert and mailing services have failed, to the extent that I wrote to YAHOO to please have my email address either deleted or changed (I will post a screen-shot of a reply from YAHOO SECURITY TEAM in my next post). However, I still made a brave, despondent attempt to "UNSUBSCRIBE" f

Existing In Chaos

50 days! I have been spinning in hectic schedules of work and a strenuous life of intermediate intensity. I have had hardly anytime to catch up with the news, especially at this time when elections are just around the corner. During all these frenzied days of my work life, I have terribly missed Karan (Thapar), Rajdeep, Arnab, and Udayan & Mitali (Mukherjees), of course. Yes, I did catch up with the Oscar ceremony and the hyped Slumdog jazz though. I am exhausted now. I tried to squeeze in some time yesterday to go through the recent political news (I wasn’t interested in what is happening to Kasab or was eager to know about India’s heroic cricketing triumphs). I pulled out some news archives from various websites, newspapers, and did watch news channels for whole three hours yesterday. I liked the oath taking Lead India 09 campaign, I liked Aamir’s representation to think better for this country in one another Lead India campaign, I loved the awareness and initiatives that Jaago
