Someone very brilliantly said, “In today’s era being alone is no more being lonely”. Very true and for this I thank all the scientists and inventors.
Imagine yourself home alone, without TV, music players, computer internet. This is my worst nightmare.
I proudly say, “I never get bore when I am alone”. When gave it a thought I realized I am not alone even when I am alone. I am always with some virtual company, which keeps me involved and does not makes me feel lonely.
And so I wish not to face this worst night mare of mine ever in my life.

Rain Game
What exactly Indian media wants??? I am toh literally confused. When it doesn’t rains they worry about the farmers all over Maharastra and when it starts raining they start making hype of it.
For the past some days when it was not raining media was talking about less water supply, electricity problem and drying farms. But now when it’s been raining for two days they have started showing they water logging and traffic jam.
But then it feels they are doing their job by keeping everyone informed about the happening in the society. But there’s a small request do your job but don’t blow things out of proportion just for the sake of TRP.

Menka's Dogs...
Last night I was going back home badly tired by my day’s routine. I was carrying my dinner in a parcel and stuffs for a small Saturday night party at my place. As I was walking up the hills of Borivali east (the extreme northern part of Mumbai) to reach my PG in not so lightened road, I felt a drag on the carry bag I was carrying.
Ya guys, I do fear ghost so I ignored it and kept walking because I didn’t wanted to face my worst nightmare. But to my fear the drag became stronger and stronger. Then finally I gathered all my strength and decided to turn.
As I turned, to my surprise I found a group of dogs were behind me and the one heading them all was grabbing my carry bag. As I tried to pull away my bag they all started growling.
I got frightened and left the bag and as the bag touched the ground they all broke on it and ripped it apart and ate all the chicken and mutton I was taking for my dinner. It was worth 350 buck I saw it been eaten up by a bunch stray dogs.
Thanks to Menka Gandhi for her unwanted love for animals and unwanted animals like these stray dogs. Hey its really getting bad guys when u walk around some places you find as many dogs as humans.
And I believe government all over must do something as it a common problem of all the Indian cities.

Who are the real child labours???
He is a perfect son of his mother, a perfect brother to two siblings. He helps his mother to earn daily expenses and run the family of four. Ten or twelve years back his father left his family to live with other woman in his life. This incidence could be the reason for his dedication towards his family as he has understood his responsibility towards his family.
I am talking about Ajit Janardan Sawant a 15 years old boy (which he claims, but he hardly looks 10 year old) who sells novels and magazines at a traffic signal in Linking road in Bandra the central part of Mumbai. He is into this work since five years. He works from 10:30 AM in the morning till 6:30 PM in the evening and faces the harsh sunlight and smokes and pollution in the traffic which he explains is affecting his health.
He lives in Grant road the Southern part of Mumbai. He comes 20 km to Bandra to sell his stuffs not because sales are high here. He do so because of the fact that when he used to do this in Mahalaxmi in south Mumbai he was caught once by police and was in the lockup for one night because he sells pirated novels and he is a child labourer.
So, here comes the theme of this blog… You guessed it right it CHILD LABOUR one of the most burning issues of our country.
The point that I want to make here by telling you guys this story is that, when Mr. Janardan Sawant didn’t took his responsibility seriously and left his family no where, Ajit even being a small child did felt it and now when he wants to help his mother himself and not under any pressure or anything. Not only Ajit but there are many such kids who are earning for there family and if they will not their family might suffer. So, the question arises that if these small kids are acting responsible then who is government to stop them?
And even if they do stop them because of some good reason they must be equal to all. You might think what I mean by “equal to all”. By this I want to point out to the kids who are into modeling and acting or professional games. So when their parents can decide for them then why not Ajit’s mother and these parents. So government needs to explain who comes under the criteria of child labourers.
Frankly speaking I know the some of the reason why they are targeted but I am saying this with the mind set of Ajit and her mother who had this strong feeling. I just wanted to convey this to some people and guys who better then future journos. So guys think again with the mind set of these poor children and do something in future for them if you all can.

Spliting country
“Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha Dravida utkala banga” is this what we sing only for the sake of being an Indian, or do we learn something from it. You guessed it right I am talking about the unity of our country.
Before it was all in the name of religion but now it seems has shifted to region, thanks to Raj Thackeray. Raj is certainly not doing something new, he is just repeating the history once done by his uncle Bala saheb Thackeray 40 years back. At that time, their aim was South Indians, which has flipped 180 degrees and is aiming North Indians now.
The start of this conflict seemed sudden as there wasn’t any incident that could have lead to the conflict. Just because Amitabh Bachchan has planned to start a school in UP and not in Maharastra seems a foolish excuse. This looks more like a publicity stunt to hype MNS as a prominent party in the country. But can anyone imagine how badly it affects the thinking of the people. It seeds hatred in the mind of people and compel them to think in that way. But this is something they don’t care about and the thing that they need is name, fame and power.
Raj thackery now being called Raj “SAHEB” Thackeray is like Bala saheb Thackeray and MNS gained enough name for the future State elections. Mission
You people might think why all of a sudden I am talking about this topic when almost everyone has forgotten it. Then that’s not the case because I feel some people has not yet forgot the thing and the seed sowed in the mind of people has taking shape. No I am not talking out of the blue but this is something I experience daily in the local trains. Be it the sarcastic comments or the direct quarrels or be it the graffiti comments in the train. For example the one which I saw today morning was “Meri Agli Supari, Bhaiya aur Bihari” which reminded me of a similar bad quote told to me by my friend about their religion long ago.
Now my only question to these guys spreading this non sense is that, have we all forgot our 61 year old history and 150 years long struggle for freedom. It is said that we learn from our mistakes but aren’t we repeating it because I believe if we keep discriminating on different grounds the day is not far that we will split in many small territories like we used to be 200 years ago.
So the future is in our hand and we have to decide what we want our country to be like.
