I can hardly find any difference in the tweets of the newspaper and that of Deepika padukone.
Both are sensational,blunt and vulgar.
I need not mention the chain of the tweets in question, as they are amply being highlighted by the electronic media.
Media and cinema are undoubtedly answerable to the society. Both are expected to exercise utmost restraint in their expression, as it has a first hand and instant impact on the society.
Media sighing out ‘OMG’ on some video, in view of the present state of Indian cinema, is absolutely ridiculous.
But the reaction of Deepika Padukone, is in no way modest too. It is equally ridiculous.
Being bold is acceptable. But being shamelessly bold is bound to send wrong signals in the social circles.
I would suggest to both media and cinema to be extraordinarily society friendly.
People of all age groups have access to the social media in the contemporary times. And we, as responsible and sensible citizens need to be very much respectful while interacting on sensitive issues.

Wing Commander Bali The Saviour
We are proud of you Wg. Comdr. Bali and the likes of you, for the tremendous amount of dedication and the resolve that you have displayed during the rescue operations in this natural calamity that has fallen on Kashmeer.
Our eyes are filled with tears of pride when you are heard saying that you will reach out to the last person and won’t stop.
We feel inspired when despite the uncertain state of affairs, you send out your courageous statement like ” things are not as bad as they look “.
We salute the Indian forces which has soldiers like you, who, despite having seen his own house washed out in the flood and the whereabouts of his parents not known, is selflessly fighting it out for the country’s honour.
JAI BHARAT
I Salute The Indian Soldier
Time to bow before the upright Indian soldier, who is bent upon risking his own life for the lives of thousands of citizens who are stranded in the worst conditions created by the unprecedented flood fury in Kashmeer.
This is my soldier’s arrogance, to risk his life. Kudos. I am feeling proud. I salute this arrogance. Why, because this is not his arrogance, this is his holy resolve, this is his strong and determined will, to come to the rescue of someone in distress.
This is not the time to dig the past. Because, we will get enough time to do that, when we come out of the disaster.
This is the time to be on the side of our valiant, brave, courageous and more importantly revolutionary military personnel, who have suddenly forgotten everything, what they remember at this point of time, is their DUTY to serve the nation through a selfless service to the mankind.
I can relate number of incidents from the past, which can vindicate the Indian stand on Kashmeer.
But this is not the appropriate time to do so.
As I said that we will get enough time to do it, at a later stage.
For this time all I can say is,..
My soldier’s shoulders are so strong
They can lift you and walk for long
They won’t remember that you cursed them with others along
They will carry you to safety with a bravery song
All you have to remember, is that he belongs to you
And to him, you belong.

100 Days Of Modi Regime
I feel overwhelmed and enthralled on BJP Govt. at the centre completing 100 days.
I wish Modi ji all the very best, and wish him and his dynamic team a very successful full term.
I hope Modi ji will leave no stone unturned in dealing with the issues, both domestic and international, and will definitely come up to the expectations of the people of India.
I also hope that during his regime, India will touch new heights on the international front.
JAI BHARAT.
Kashmeer Crisis, Nature’s Fury
I personally understand the misery and agony one has to go through in the situations prevailing in the valley these days. It is the guts and courage of the affected people who are fighting it out day in and day out with very less support from the Government. I salute the fighting attitude of the people of Paradise on earth, which is under the direct threat from the almighty.
Also proud to have Mr.Modi at the helm of affairs, who is ready to extend relief even to the people of POK.
Very heartening.
I pray to Almighty God for the safety of every citizen.
Time to understand the eternal power of the Almighty Lord.
Further, Mr. Modi is not doing something out of the way. It happens to be his administrative obligation to do so. But at the same time we the people of India have to understand the reality. And the reality is, the power of the great nation “INDIA”.
We kashmeeries have to understand once and for all that our fate is bright with INDIA.
Let us also not blame the people who propagate separatism. Because they have no moral duty to come to the rescue of the people in distress. That is what they think. They are there to bring distress. Not redressal.
Let Almighty God bring every affected citizen, out of this unprecedented distress.
Rely on INDIA. And rely with pride.

Cricketers Falling Prey To “Life Style Virus”
Viruses are of so many kinds. Some are fatal, some make you sick, some pose an immediate threat to your life and some even change your life. Our cricketers have fallen prey to the last kind of the virus.
They have succumbed to the vicious and dreadful infection of the virus which changes the total life style and the pattern of activities of a person.
And there are sub types of this kind of the virus. Viz. Political virus, bollywood virus, fixing virus, Ad. market virus, arrogance virus etc. etc. All these viruses have laid very dangerous impact on the sport in general and the player in particular.
India might be the most richest cricket board of the world and the most powerful as well, keeping in view India’s position at the ICC. But if we try to analyse the effect of these positions on the overall body language of the cricketers, we will come to the conclusion that it has adversely affected the players and left them alarmingly arrogant.
Needless to elaborate on the kinds of viruses which have invaded the playing potentialities of the cricketers. Records tell us the whole story.
How pathetic !
But this is the truth about Indian cricket, and some elite cricketers, who unfortunately are the so called back bone of Indian cricket, who have ruined the cricketing image of our country, should be shown the door, before they make any further damage to the game.
Nip the evil in the bud.
Well, I feel it is not going to be fruitful for both, struggling and promising cricketers of India, if we name these ailing stalwarts of the game.
The only thing I would like to suggest to the budding cricketers of India is that they should not follow the precedence which their erring icons have set for them.
Country comes first.Individuality comes next. It is never the reverse of it. If you are a cricketer,then you ought to worship the game selflessly.
Glitter of glamour is the enemy of the game.
Real cricket connotes toil,sweat,hard work, practice, dedication, sincerity, obedience, team work and simple living. Because it the simple living which holds key to dedication, and dedication happens to be the name of the game.
Cricketing life should be treated on the pattern of “Gurukul”. Where every activity which does not go in line with the basic fundamentals of the Gurukul, is forbidden.
Glamour in cricket, has been eroding the very essence of the game. And it is not that we don’t know it. But why we are turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to this grave state of affiars, remains to be a mystery.
In a bid to solve this mystery, Cricket board will have to put its foot down and start being more and more strict towards the arrogant few. And give the game, its original form and the players, their original persona and identity.
BCCI very urgently needs to get its act together, before it is too late.
Iron woman, Irom Sharmila
Very simple, move just one alphabet ‘Forwards’, and you will make the Indian women move miraculously ‘Forwards’, with pride, and heads held high.
Irom chanu sharmila, in fact happens to be ” ‘Iron’ chanu sharmila”.
yes ‘IRON’.. Strong and tough. Unbreakable and indestructible.
Iron-woman.
That is what Irom Sharmila is all about.
Hunger strike for 14 long years. Fighting, for her state Manipur, to get the AFSPA ( armed forcer special powers Act 1958 ), scrapped, this macho woman has some mettle,spirit and resilience.
She is of the opinion, that AFSPA has been irrationally, arbitrarily and tyrannically used against the people of Manipur and the rest of the North east.
She spent most of the time, recovering from severe illness due to her unabated hunger strike, in a hospital for these 14 long years, on regular intervals, as she would not agree to end her hunger strike, while serving her term in jail .
But her resolve, to get her state, its due, did not perish.
Hats off to this Iron- willed human being, Irom NO Iron Sharmila.
Irom, we salute your determination, resolution, hardihood, courage, bravery, valor, spirit, tenacity, fortitude and tremendous degree of patience.
My God, She got released from the jail after 14 long years. Do you know what was the first thing she did? She again went on ‘ hunger strike’. And got re- arrested.
Hats off Irom. You mean a lot to the Indian women.
Think tank, But How ? Crime Against Women, A Sin
Mr. Arun Jaitley, a political stalwart,proudly enjoying the privilege of being called the “Think Tank” of his party, can stoop so low and speak so irresponsibly and unconscionably, really stunned me.
I wonder, How can he be the “Think Tank”. He has not thought before he spoke.
Even in normal circumstances one thinks twice before making a statement.
But this political giant never thought it to be so important.
May be he did’nt do it intentionally,but whatever he said was something which needs to be condemned very strongly.
If you are making a statement in public or in a forum,you ought to do some home work and keep your cool while deliberating. You have also to be careful and unhurried in your speech.
“Think before you speak” , It looks, does’nt apply to him. Perhaps he thinks that he holds a position where he is free to utter anything he thinks is in the larger interest of his country and the audience will accept it, even if it hurts the sentiments of the people and even puts the image of the country in jeopardy.
Any unfortunate incident of crime against women, needs to be strongly condemned and its mention should not be made in public, so cheaply.
This is really painful.
We ought to raise our voice against crime,but should not use it for ulterior motives, even if it relates to any sort of development, for that matter.
It should not be highlighted while discussing issues confronting the country, even if it happens to have some kind of an impact, directly or indirectly, on the same.
Country comes ‘First’, But respect for women is “Supreme”
Crime against women is a sensitive issue and needs to be dealt with utmost responsibility and a sense of belongingness and humane emotions accompanied by compassion, benevolence and humanistic values.
So, Mr. Jaitley when you said and I quote a part thereof, “A ‘small’ incident of rape….” unquote. You have not said it with all your thinking abilities at your command.
This is very very hurting.
Well, Mr. Jaitley you owe an unconditional apology, not only to the person about whom you spoke, not only to her parents and well wishers, but to the Nation as a whole.
And, I am sure a person of your stature will not waste a moment in doing so.
Please uphold the values of Humanity.

Invasion Of Hypocrisy-A Big Lesson For The Political Parties
Today, it seems, is a big day for the Indian political parties to rise to the occasion,and work in unison, for the nationalism and patriotism.
During the day I heard political parties advocating the irrational approach of their CMs to boycott the PM’s meetings, just because they feel infringed on account of humiliation caused to them by the people chanting Pro – Modi slogans.
Meaning thereby that if people respect the PM, it amounts to disrespect to other political parties and their CMs. No matter if it puts the respect of the PM at stake.That too when the whole world is watching us.
What kind of a message, they think, are they giving to the rest of the world.
Boycotting the PM is not something that can so easily be done, out of vengeance. There is a protocol in place, in the country.
PM is not a local leader. He is the Prime Minister of the country, and commands utmost respect under all circumstances whatsoever.
And when they come to know that the assassins of PM Indira Gandhi are being glorified through a Punjabi movie ” koum de heere”, they feel offended and infringed.
Well, glorifying the assassins of an EX-PM through a movie is, in no way going to be acceptable at all. PM, after all is a PM. And anything that offends the dignity and honor of the PM, can not, and should not, be tolerated.
But why these double standards. In both the cases it is the PM of the country.
I was happy to hear from one of the panelists in a TV program,who said that assassins of a PM are assassins in all circumstances and can not be elevated to the level of glorification.
And when the spokesperson of the other political party heard the statement of this panelist, quite in unison with that of her’s, she started objecting to the delay in banning the movie. Simply pretending that the panelist’s statement is not of any significance.
This is sheer arrogance, percolating in the party cadres right from the top to the bottom.
All that is needed is that the parties will have to rise above party lines and support the logic.
After all it is the political maturity which holds the key to a healthy political set up in the country.
My question to these hypocrats is that what right do they have to be even accepted in the Nation’s political mainstream,when they cold- bloodedly massacred thousands of innocent Sikhs in 1984 riots. And still want to be looked at with respect and political prudence.
But, still they enjoy a big place in the political circles of the country.
Sikhs are the most patriotic section of the society in the country, and they need to be given some respect.
But at the same time Sikhs will have to act within the accepted frame work of political ethics and decide what is good in the larger interest of the country, in so far as the movie in question is concerned.
Killing is a gruesome offence, no matter under what circumstances the crime is committed. A crime is a crime in the eyes of law. And law is supreme.
Indira Gandhi did not die, she was brutally killed.
Similarly killers of thousands of innocent Sikhs are not innocent too.
And there is no point in glorifying the assassins and the criminals.
Nathu Ram Godse is not a glorified person in the eyes of a true Indian.
How can the assassins of Indira Gandhi be.
Well, movies are made and they carry just the entertainment tag on them. But when movies are based on the historical facts and the true happenings, then in that case, the movies become sensitive and are to be treated above the level of a mere entertainment.
So the issue needs to be debated at length and an appropriate solution sought.

Popularity vs Fear : PM’s Visit To Diff. States
Since the hectic electioneering campaign in the Country, for the National elections, Narinder Modi has achieved a tremendous amount of popularity among the masses.
Today if the most popular person, who also happens to be the PM of the country, visits any state, and the masses chant slogans out of love and respect for that person. How is he to be blamed for that.
Some political parties are, perhaps not in a state of mind, to swallow the bitter pill that they have lost even that, what was there to cheer for.
And now when the PM of a Great Nation visits his country’s different states, and the people there express their profound love and respect for him, through their sloganeering, which is the only way in public meetings, to create a connect with their beloved leader, it is posing threat to the other political parties.
Well, the element of fear is evident, and quite obvious too, but in the process they can hardly afford to do away with a set system of official protocol.
Whenever PM visits a state, the governor and the CM are supposed to comply with the protocol, and not only receive him, but accompany him in all official gatherings and meetings, wherever necessary, and then also see him off.
But quite sadly some political parties which are scared of the increasing popularity of the dynamic PM, are smelling a rat, in the visits and public appearances of the PM.
They say BJP cadres in these gatherings humiliate the CMs through their sloganeering. In fact they go further ahead and say that these are the orchestrated cadres of BJP, who have been planted by the party to hoot the CMs.
Well, what can you call it. I think it is sheer FEAR and nothing else. Fear of losing even the left over ground too, in the forth coming elections, in the states where they have their Govt.
This can be the one side of the picture. The other side of the picture can be more sensational. They say that PM Narinder Modi and his party are trying to humiliate the CMs of the Non- BJP states.
But it can just be the reverse as well.
It can be a well conceived plan of the other political parties, to blame the BJP for humiliating them but in the bargain do the same to tarnish the image of BJP and that of the PM Narinder Modi, just to avenge the humiliation they went through during the elections.
This may be “Killing two birds with one stone” kind of a tactics. Blame them and also try to humiliate them. Simple, just a blame game.
Well, some parties are the political Guru, when it comes to making statements in the public and to the media. Their spokespersons are master in mincing words.
And these words are like a free commodity to them. They can use them as and when they like, simply to sensationalize the situation.
So, if one reads their body language, either in an interview or in a debate, it is very easy to figure out as to what extent they can inflate things, and make mountain out of a mole hill.
But yes, this can be said about almost all political parties. So no one to be actually blamed for it.
It is the name of the game, in the present Indian political scenario.
