Suppose you are Veeru tied in a rope and a sharp shooter has aimed at your head ready to break it like a watermelon. Gabbar says chose one man to play for you. "Jab tak wo out nahi hoga, tab tak tumhari saanse chalti rahegi." Without a blinker of thought you would appoint Rahul Dravid. He would save your life. As he has been doing for India for fifteen continuous years. For no reasons he is called the Great Wall Of India. Dravid hates this figure of speech for him. A wall is lifeless all it does is blocks things. It separates intruders to trespass. Dravid does more than that. He stands, he blocks he reacts and scores. 12200 plus run and still counting. With his kind of average he goes , he is ought to make 50 plus run every innings. Wall, a lifeless being cant do it. For its not about blocking only, it is also about making runs and that too with conviction. Dravid, they say lacks aggression. For me, he is the biggest aggressor. Aggression is not about reacti...

So India is going to have their own slut walk. Aka Besharmi morcha, this is a new "firnagi" wave we are catching up. The history of slut walk is not too old. A Canadian Police officer's remarks started it all. And there has already been over 60 "walks" across the world. And Delhi girls are ready, few girls already selecting their skimpiest clothes as being interviewed in daily news channel. The fight is against sexual violence. That brings me to one question what took Indian women so much time to have an "andolan" now. The remark being made by canadian polcieman is every third Indian's view. Why did they need to follow some wave but not initiate it at first hand. Good that they are having a movement now. But unlike being followers can't we also raise voice against female infanticide. Violence (not only physical but social and most importantly economical ) is faced by majority of Indian women. Do we need any other country to start the march fo...

1988. Aamir Khan croons papa kehte hai bada naam karega. 2011, his nephew Imran sings Daddy mujhse bola tu galti hai meri …. Is this a kind of generation gap ? 100 percent cut off for SRCC (the college does not even feature in top 200 college of world) ...means no room for error. Do they actually produce machines now?  Learning new metaphor from Dhoni. Adulteration of techonology and human errors cost us that wicket(referring to Ian Bell given not out when reviewed). What about Sachin being given not out by the same technology in world cup semi final. Ramdev Baba's estimate of the  money to be lost if corruption is not wiped out Rs10,000 lakh crores. Who does these estimates? Ramjee ke pass sabke liye hai masala?? 98 kg of Gold found at Sai Baba's home. But that saint used to take gold from his mouth in miracles. So why so much of fuss ???

Watching one of the interviews after Baba reached Haridwar was amusing. In his words, he stayed around a wall in Ramlila Maidan for two hours. He then disguised himself in a ladies dress to escape (perhaps forgot about his beards) but police caught him. He claims the policemen pulled up his stole to strangulate him. “Arre bhai jaan maar doge meri kya ?” , he asked. He is a real marketing guy. He did not even forget the name of his favorite channel Aaj Tak claiming they were recording everything. Aaj Tak keeps repeating that line of Baba for its tag of “fearless” journalism. He further said,( maut se mujhe dar nahi lagta. Par mein aise nahi marna chahta tha). If the idea was to kill him, why did policemen not kill any of the people around? Baba says he never faced such a violence in his life. Taking Metro from Rajeev Chowk is more violent than that. Jokes apart, has baba really thought of people who are abandoned from home in demolition drive? Or the kind of fast 30 percent of Indian...
