Thinking Aloud

आतिथेय सत्कार जहां का, दुनिया में जाना जाता है , नतमस्तक हों गजराज यहाँ, वह क्षण पहचाना जाता है | तुम भूल गए इतिहास अभी, अतिथि देवो को भूल गए, पैसों की इस चका- चौंध में, देश को कालिख पोत गए || मैं इसका जिम्मेदार नहीं, अब ऎसी आवाज लगाईं है , इसलिए ये धूनी रमाई है || मेहमानों के स्वागत में, जहां पुष्प आरती जलती है , उन मेहमानों के बिस्तर पर, श्वान पुत्र अठखेल गए | जल प्लवन हुआ उसके घर में, और उसमें मच्छर पनप गए , जिनके पूर्वज के बाणों पर,सागर के छक्के छूट गए || इस पर अतीत शर्मिन्दा है, जो वर्तमान की कमाई है, इसलिए ये धूनी रमाई है || तुम कहते हो शर्मिन्दा हूँ, पर तुमको शर्म नहीं आयी, गैंडे के समतुल्य जिसे, गुदगुदी कभी भी नहीं आयी | वह राम मेरा शर्मिन्दा है, जिसने बांधा पुल सागर पर, वह कृष्ण चुराता नजरें है, जिसने दी सर पर छत पर्वत || अब संशय में अतीत आया, यह कैसी संतति पाई है, इसलिए ये धूनी रमाई है || इन नेताओं की चिकनी चुपड़ी, बातों में हम सब भूल गए, माँ को कर हम दरकिनार, नोटों-पैसों पर झूल गए | हम लिप्त हुए इनमें ऐसे, भारत की इज्जत भूल गए, मानव मूल्यों की बात है क्या, हम अपनी स...

Not all said was wrong after all

The squeaking sound of opening the window irritates me. Oh.. this squeaking, irritating sound.. Hope I don't have to open it all the time. The window glass has also become translucent. The pale streaming marks are indicative of trikling water through the rusty iron frame of window. Aachcee-- Karr - rr --rr . I have also gone rusty like the window. My joints are behaving like rusty hinges, unlike the vehicle that just passed by. Oh, but I can't bear the smoke spewed by these autos. What the hell they use for fuel ? Even cow dung is less smoky. What can a poor auto driver do with petrol and diesel prices rocketing up ? I will pull the curtains for some time till the smoke waffles away. It is so suffocating in these kind of houses, in one minute I am almost suffocating. I will open the window to get some fresh air. Children are playing hide and seek. One is hiding behind the sand heap. Other is trying to hide behind the nearby lampost. One baloon hawker,with pink, yello, red, ba...

Bhopal Disaster - Too less for a long run The culprit is : So finally GOM has cleared name of Late . Mr Rajiv Gandhi from the bhopal disaster case. He should be. Basically he was Mr clean in the congress party after several major setbacks that congress had seen. Since GoM and court could not decide who the culprit is, so I have tried to put things per my understanding. Innocent Rajiv, villain Arjun : It is quite possible the Rajiv Gandhi was not aware of the incident took place and Arjun Singh was CM of M.P. At least Arjun Singh is goood player at that . We have seen the evidence recently when Arjun Singh took the whole congress by surprise for his reservation policy and whole congress was getting hard time to explain that it was a party decision and ironically owing to same party decision he was not party to general election 2009. Congress : The Pious Bharat ratna Congress-- how can a political party with little short half of the total number of the bharat ranta awardee can commit ...

I did not notice the symbol till recently that the circular symbol contains one V just below W. Suddenly it started making a sense to me. V & W make the complete name. Also, the tag line " Das Auto", German for "The Car", is much simpler compared to its previous tag line “ Aus Liebe zum Automobil ” - "For the love of the automobile”. "Outsourced"- a movie by John Jeffcoat , a satire cum reality cum modern day comedy which also depicts the cross cultural conflicts, has also a bit of Indianized Volkswagen . "Ground clearance is up to Indian condition"-- One proof is given by placing an ostrich egg below the car and crossing over it without hampering the egg. On average, an ostrich egg is 15 centimetres (5.9 in) long, 13 centimetres (5.1 in) wide, and weighs 1.4 kilograms (3.1 lb), over 20 times the weight of a chicken egg.Here the 13 cm is the ground clearance for the car. Does this adaptability of VW reflects market sensitiv...
