Finally, I have started working on something that has been so close to my heart. I have started working on India Infinity. Check http://www.indiainfinity.blogspot.com. Founded by myself and Kunal, it is with an aim to start working for our own country, India. Not just keep cribbing about the system but bring about a change in it. I have taken up the initiative of Farmers and Rural India. The following is an open letter to the world. We are open to all kind of suggestions, critiques and blasphemy.
It will document all the mails sent to different people and their honest reactions. Anything and everything is welcome, including bricks, sada hua tamatars and eggs... njoy

The Wall
I am standing
In the corridor
Waiting for someone
To open the door
The walls around
Seem so high
Hidden secrets
Those are blind to the eye
A mother’s sigh
A baby’s cry
A lover’s sob
Of a love went robbed
A toothless old man
Who loved a whisky can
A little maid,
Who was never paid
A drunken husband
A beaten wife
Quirky laughter
Of a child divine
Grandma’s memory
of a life gone by
Her children living
In a far of land.
A tear of love
A woe of sadness
A tinge of laughter
A life of happiness
Silent truths,
Spoken lies
Romantic dinners
And muffled fights…
In the corridor
Waiting for someone
To open the door
The walls around
Seem so high
Hidden secrets
Those are blind to the eye
A mother’s sigh
A baby’s cry
A lover’s sob
Of a love went robbed
A toothless old man
Who loved a whisky can
A little maid,
Who was never paid
A drunken husband

A tear of love
A woe of sadness
A tinge of laughter
A life of happiness

I am staring at the empty space
That was once a busy place
People running to and fro
Each on their own brisky pace.
All of them have gone home,
To a person who they truly belong
I wish I could come home to you
And cuddle you when I felt so blue
Life has been such a thorny road
Petals and flowers, so it showed
Hiding the pain that lied beneath
Bleeding my heart until death.
I wish you were here
Sitting next to me
Staring at the stars above
Talking of the things we love.
That was once a busy place

Bleeding my heart until death.

Sitting next to me
Staring at the stars above

China Sentences Former Drug Regulator to Death
China has done it!
check the link http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/29/world/asia/29cnd-drug.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
Death penalty for a bureaucrat who took bribes for letting substandard food material into the market. I think this is one of the points that truly differentiates a country from others in terms of taking the term 'development' seriously. A term which tells the world, that they are serious about business. Low quality will not be tolerated. Low morales will not be tolerated. The Chinese Government has truly shown the world that they are putting in the right discipline in place.
It might be a harsh sentence, but I think it is very much needed. It gives a message to all the corrupt officials - You might be the next in line. Politicians will think twice before they accepts bribes, or even think about it. The common man wins. It tells the world that the Government cares about the people and does not want the people to suffer.
With great Power comes Great Responsibility, Peter Parker was told. Isnt it so true?
To the communist government, i salute. Take a bow.
Indian Government, Where art thou? It is good to learn from competition...

Anger is injurious to health! (of others)
It is said that Anger is injurious to the health... (of others)
Anger is a natural way of venting out emotional frustrations and breaking free. It cleanses the system. Just like puking, where unwanted objects are thrown out, anger throws out the internal frustration. Being angry is good, it keeps you healthy.
But, there is a flipside to it. What about the person who is facing you when the anger is vented out? There are different ways in which people vent out anger. The first reaction is to shout on top of your voice. Try it. It clears your throat. Sometimes if your ear is blocked, it even clears up the earblock. It helps you to hear more clearly.
The second way of venting out anger, (most common in women) is crying. This usually happens when the person is a bit introvert. For such people, they think that the situation is completely their fault. However they do not understand, it is nobody’s fault. Again, in this case, it clears the tear glands and washes the eye.
The third way, this now gets violent. There are different stages of getting violent. Some have the habit of punching their fists into the wall, some have the habit of punching into other people, and a very few percentage who kill. Killing may range from Cockroaches to human beings. This is the most dangerous anger of all.
Having set all these trends there has been a new trend in expressing anger, The Digital way. Mails and SMS have revolutionalized the way anger is expressed. A little bit of gibberish following the alphabet ‘f’ can convey so much that you can save a lot of vocabulary and energy from typing. Note, if you are really really angry, type with CAPS LOCK ON. Same with SMS’s.
Digital communication has taken off the charm from expressing anger, but it keeps the other person safe from being physically hurt or even killed.
I am lucky I survived. And probably a simple four letter word can cool tempers down. The word is called ‘SORRY’. Oops! I knew I was always bad at mathematics… still learning to count!!! Ok let me correct myself – A simple four letter word can cool tempers down. The word is called ‘SORY’ ;-)
So enjoy. Life is too short to be angry!!!
