2day is thurs & it ws a holiday coz der ws sum tnsion goin on in the city on the "telangana issue".
One dumbheaded politician followed by several dick headed follwers are crying for a new state outta A.P. This dumb guy is fasting(as is claimed) since past few days. As his health deteriorates by the day his followers show their rage by thrashing shopping malls and public places(shows how impotent the police and govt is).
If my opinion ws 2 b taken I wud recommend to take 3rd degree action against the students who r creating agitation and kick the shit outta their asses.What have they thought of themselves ,they attack as mob and escape without being caught hold of. And also let this politician continue the so-called till death fast. Such cheapos are not req in this contry nymore,nywaz. But govt has given in to these sick guys and has nodded for the formation of Telangana. This shows its impotency and status of law and order in this country. Many ministers have resigned in resp to this.I support their view.
We Indians are so proud of our culture thruout the world. But "our" is a relative term. It has become so subjective that it blinds us to the fact that some of us behave irrationally and selfishly. Like spoilt children their demands must be met at any cost irresp of fact whether they cause harm to whole nation. Spiltting up more states is immature and cowardly. Our nation builders have worked hard to unite the country whereas those demanding splits are mere puppets of their selfish desires in the name of serving their people. So I see there is no rationale in splitting up the states as it aint gonna help ppl get rid of poverty and their grievances.
One comment of mine ws published by times of India editor today regarding this issue.
Why dont they understand:
" UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL"

post for last monday
Well last weekend ws fun. 'Trishna' kept us busy. Partcipated in arm wrestling(hand still aching), also participated in a game show org by 'bingo'. Won a 'reebok' tee and lotta packets of bingo. Boozed thru the weekend. Dance party on sunday nyt ws fun too.
Monday,I thought shud've been a holiday but to my displeasure, it wasnt, missed out on a couple of classes.
I've heard that their were 256 princely states in India b4 independence which were integrated as one unit by Sardar patel.Mahatma(as they say) Gandhi divided it into two. And so it followed.

Well this story is being written after a month though, it is about my trip to pune. It was diwali of 2009.I wasnt going to home so I thought Insted of getting bored here, I shud rather visita frnd "tyson sir"in pune who was calling me since a time.
So just a day before leaving I booked a train ticket, which was showing 100's in waiting.So the chances of getting a reserved seat were grim. I rerached nampalli station just minutes before the train was to leave station. Voila! got an RAC. phew!! atleast I'll get a seat 2 sit , I took a sigh of relief. As the train was late so I had to wait for sometime.
Then in train it was a pretty uncomfortable situation for both me and the co-passenger who was sharing his seat with me as we both were not able to sleep. He finally broke the ice and slept on the floor. voila!!! I had a complete berth for me. As my legs cudnt fit, I still was not able to sleep properly. Well in the night,I knew, Mom wud call me(she calls every night). First I thought to keep my phone switch off. But my conscience didnt allow me to do that as I know Mom frets if we dont talk in night. So I somehow managed and received her call. I cud figure out,that she cud figure out,something was wrong. But didnt want to tell her that I was going to pune intead of coming home on diwali. I usually keep my parents informed when I go for such excursions.
Next morning train reached pune,I called Tyson sir. His phone was swithched off. I had his address,so thought of strait away going there. I took a bus and was enroute when he called. With the help of a co-passenger I got down at a place where he came to pick me up.
That day was a saturday. In evening we went to the market. No crowd !!! I mean I've never seen such big city with empty roads. It was diwali so all students and professionals, who constitute the main crowd, were at their homes.
We went to a 'german bakery'. Its famous for having foreign crowd frequenting it. It was so,actually!!
And next day was a memorable day. Tyson sir, his friend Tooshar and me, to took to the country-side roadtrip. First we went to a temple about 80- kms from Pune and then went on to an old fort made my 'Shivaji' . I mean it was a really old fort as the roads were so bad that I think ,after shivaji those roads were never repaired again. The road as I said was treacherous and very diffcult to ride upon but the driver was me and further I dont need to brag about my capabilities.
En route we halted and various spots for photographs. Also we descended upon a green hill which looked like an early 90's movie location.
After reaching the top of the hill where that fort was, we came to know that we ought to trek to reach the fort. Cool man!! I never thought of trekking here. There were no roads, no passage. We had to find our way through bushes. There was one spot where we had to grab on a tree root and pull ourselves up a steep inclination. It was quite a workout and we were a bit tired after reaching the top. But the breath-taking view of landscape from top of this fort was flabbergasting. We took photographs and roamed around the area ,before we decided to make the descent. While coming back to stopped by a lake which striked us from the hill-top. As I dont know how to swim, I chose to standby meanwhile tooshar and tyson sir jumped into the lake. Would have been an awesome feeling, jumping into a lake just like that is a fun and a bit jittery thing to do. We then had some food at a restraunt and by the time we reached home it was pitch dark. It was an awesome day , had a nice time, can never forget that day.
