Mad Bad Ads

From very early ages there use to be smart people who use to make money by conning people, we call them thugs. In today's world we have similar people who use there creativity to con people , make them consume stuff not because of its usefulness or quality but they create an so much hype around that product , we start thinking that how we survived without it for so long.
I wonder how a soda making company becomes one of the biggest company in the world.Then when I see its ads and one of the talented actor t elling the world that by opening this soda we open the world of happiness. For many people this sounds childish but more than half of the world get convinced such statements.
I see lot os Ads where some actor wearing lab coat posing as doctor giving medical advice to general public that kids will grow double there size if they drink that powder. To that my comment is I think now we got to know how hanumanji use to grow double or n times in his size , oh there product is so old.
I see somebody saying on television that by eating rice you will be less active and not fit. Fitness has nothing to do with size . There two colleagues of mine one with a pot belly another a lean mean person. Pot belly guy climbs sinhgarh mountain twice a week without rest, lean mean guy has never climbed his stairs ,longest walk for him in a day is when he walks from his desk to car which he park in the same building just 1 floor down. By seeing these ads there is lot of peer pressure on teenage kids to stay slim. Now a days slim is in , kid do dieting in very early age
to look attractive , when they should be eating a lot to have a good growth. My cousin-in-law lost her hair just becauseof this dieting rat race.
Some of the ads gives racist comments where cream manufacturer claims that by using his cream your colour will change from dark brown to light brown (99% of indian never beleives that we all are brown , they want to segregate themselves as dark or fair ). This will open make you more lovable person and will open up flood gates of opportunity i.e. they can instantly becomes actress, air hostess, girl friend , wife or object of attraction for half of the city.
In this rat race of conning people a new dimension has ben addded when these so called celebrities (I am gaints words celebs and fans , it discriminate betwen 2 people and fan is such a derogatory word ) join the con game by appealing to there fans that they should by particular soap or oil or shampoo. I remember when a kid was asked to recognized a renowned bollywood star , he sweetly said "I know him he sells navratan oil"

The Blogger

Now a days no publicity is bad publicity. You want to earn few quick bucks , here is an easy solution. If you are ready to shed off your clothes and make fool of yourself then come to reality show(like Ms Sawant). Well everybody is not fortunate to get an airtime on television. So there is different caste (I am firm believer that caste is based on people's action not based on there genetic code) of people emerging in the world , who call themselves blogger. Some bloggers writes responsibly and check facts before publishing and have self censorship. We need to see if our words are affecting people's mind , some of them consider blogs as replica of truth. Some of these blogs (I am ardent follower of one of that blog) are just verbal diarrhea. Internet world is an extension of real world. Like in real world majority of people read sensational blogs rather than well written and responsible ones.
Let me give you an example just write any blog praising any controversial figure (Jinnah Aurangzeb ,Raj Thackeray or Mayawati). You will get maximum hits and many people commenting on your blogs. But if you write a blog how are our current government food policies are bringing food inflation or how lack of storage engineering expertise in our country is wasting lakhs of tonnes of grains and vegetables. I am 100% sure nobody likes it, although it affects there daily life.
We ar entertainment lover who likes to get entertained at any cost.For me news and reality show are new dimensions of entertainment where somebody's insult or pain is entertainment for us and someboody (media) is making money from it.
Coming back to blogger , I wish rather than allowing anything to be published on net , we should have administrator who checks the authenticity of content also the sensitivity of the matter.

Local Vs Migrants (New Playground for Regional Politics)

When will normal people understand, real issue is not Local vs Migrant. Region is becoming new play ground to play in politics. Since religion card has become too old. Now many politicians understood they can never be at National level , to do that it requires lot of time and energy and planning. So now many are following Tamil Nadu pattern , where no National party can make it, because voters are polarise between regional parties. Same success Shiv sena got in maharashtra, SP BSP in UP and cimmunistin Bengal. Thinking about state and fighting for it is good , India is conglomerate of states which should work with each other not against each other. I can tell you with 100% guarantee that regional card playing can never do any good to state . Overcrowding of cities shd be tackle at diiferent level , by centre govt, planning commissions , not by attacking outside state workers , this makes State unfriendly for new investments. See what Mamta bannerjee is doing in Bengal. See media and politicians carrer is to make normal things sensitive , they can't survive wiithout that. But we normal peace loving people can't we see who all gets benefitted by this all agenda . Migration problem is ages old , farmer migrate to cities become landless worker. If he gets beaten in city will it solve the over crowding problem. Now the problem with big city people is they want best of both the world , they want to have all industries in there cities which makes them developed, but they hate labour

दुबेजी और कुमारी नेने की प्रेम कहानी

गोरखपुर के दुबेजी जो पेशवाई शेहेर में रहते थे
बस घर बस जाए उनका सबसे यही कहेते थे
राह में चलते चलते पढी नज़र नेने कुमारी पे
तरो ताज़ा हो उठे जैसे उठ गए हो किसी बीमारी से
उनको मालूम नही था की किस्मत उन पर छा जायेगी
जैसी भी हो उस मराठी पुत्री को उनकी सूरत भा जायेगी
पहले गियर में आ रही थी दुबेजी प्रेम की कार
मगर कहीं कहीं पढ़ती थी भाषा की मार
जब भी करते थे प्रेम की बात नेने कहती थी I GO (आइगो )
बेचारे दुबेजी कहते तब जाओ समझ नही पाते क्यों गयी वोह
बढ़ाने को आगे अपने प्रेम की कहानी
उन्होंने मराठी सीखने की ठानी
मराठी के प्रति उनमे बालक समान जागी उत्सुकता
किताबें पढ़ते नही लेकिन शेहेर के सारे मराठी बोर्ड पढ़ डाले
क्यों ना हम एकांत में प्रेम में डूबे रहें
ऐसा बोली जब नेने तो समझ नही आया क्या जवाब दें
दुबेजी तुंरत बोले ट्रैफिक का बोर्ड देख
मना चा ब्रेक उत्तम ब्रेक
जब नेने के पिताजी ने दुबेजी को छाए पर बुलाया
शादी कब करोगे इस सवाल का उत्तर समझ नही आया
सोच सोच समझ नही आ रहा था क्या जवाब देई
मराठी में बोल पढ़े अति घाई संकटात नई

Biased and Manipulative Media

Since the day we were having fuel crisis, I was expecting somebody from media coverfuel news. As I use to browse through 20 odd Indian news channel we have , I use to see Arushi, Khali , Saifeena (thats what media call them) news or Raju Srivastava cracking some jokes.Nobody was covering fuel delay in fuel price hike (It took 15 days to our Govt to decide fuel hike).It was the news which affect all rich and poor. Recently I read a blog (http://www.ibnlive.com/blogs/ashishjain/234/51740/fuel-prices-are-cheaper.html)
from somebody from CNN IBN,saying why a common man making hue and cry over petrol. As all other liquids like dettol, coffee , laser jet ink are far more expensive than Petrol. I think media has lost its creative thinking and come out with these kiddish arguements.Its like comparing water with some expensive perfume and telling water is still cheap, even sold at 25 rs/litre in mall and cinema hall.

भ्रम

आज खोया था पुरानी यादों में
मन की कुटिया में धुंधला सा दीप टिमटिमा रहा था
अचानक दस्तक दी किसी ने दर पर
ऐसा लगा जैसे कोई आ रहा था
अचानक दिमाग के अंधेरे को चीरती हुई एक किरण आयी
उसने मेरे मन के चित्रपट पर कुछ मिथ्या तस्वीर बनायी
जब मैं जागा उस सपन सलोने से
तब् मैंने रोका उसे अपना होने से
वो बोला क्यों रोकते हो मुझे अपनी आसक्ति से

क्यों बैर लेते हो विश्व की प्राणशक्ति से

मैं ही मानव देह को भूख सेहेने की ताक़त देता हूँ

भले ही कुच्छ क्षण के लिए परन्तु उनके दुःख हर लेता हूँ

रोजी की तलाश करते करते थक जाता है नौजवान

तब् मेरा सहारा लगता है उसके वस्त्रों में पैबंद समान

कुछ दीवाने मेरी ओर बढ़ते हैं मुझे मंजिल जान

पर उनके पहुँचने पर लुप्त हो जाता हूँ म्रग्त्रिश्ना समान

मेरे मन ने कहा क्यों ठुकराते हो जो निर्बल की ताक़त है

आओ मेरे मीत मेरे भ्रम मेरी मन कुटीर में तुम्हारा स्वागत है

बालक का भविष्य

जब शाम घर हमारे आए प्रोफेस्सर रामदास
हम बोले "जन्म हुआ बालक का फ़िर क्यों हो इतने उदास"
बड़े अनमानते हुए बोले "मुझे कोई चीज़ नही भाती
क्या होगा भविष्य नवजात शिशु का यही चिंता मुझे सताती"
हमने कहा क्या मुश्किल यह पता लगाने में
बंद कर दो उसे एक कक्ष अनजाने में
हो जहाँ रखा एक सेब , रुपया और एक गीता
फ़िर देखना तुम वेह बाल किसका स्पर्श करता
गर उठा कर सेब चबयेगा
तो धरा की सेवा कर किसान बन जाएगा
गर उठा रुपया खेलेगा और खेलेगा खेल
बन उद्योगपति रखेगा , लक्ष्मी को डाल नकेल
उठा लेता अगर हाथ में भगवत पुराण
बड़ा हो बनेगा पंडित ज्ञानी और विदुआं

प्रोफेस्सर ने शंका की साँस भरी

और अपने आगे की बात कही

अगर वेह उठाता एक हाथ में सेब दूजे में रुपया

और बैठ जता गीता पर

वेह ना बनेगा उद्योगपति ना ही स्कॉलर

हमने कहा फ़िर आपके बच्चे का भविष्य बहुत उज्जवल है

उसके एक पैर के नीचे आज है दूजे के नीचे कल है

यह वेह शख्सियत है बुध्धि सबकी हर लेता है

वेह और कोई नही भावी राजनेता है
