civic or non civic sense????

Aamir Khan's Incredible India! ad is really something to ponder about.
While we boast of our country becoming super power sooner or later, forget the fact that mere nuclear power will mean nothing if we are backward in civic sense! just think of these situations:

• 
  
  Half of the cities in the country are perhaps lacking public sanitation facilities. Well,democracy is a part of our constitution and a part of our attitude as well. We can attend the nature's call in natural circumstances!!!


• 
  
  The roads: Bhubaneshwar,if we can see,has been rapidly making progress - wait a minute! the progress is not forward as of now...we are marching backward! dilapidated roads and precarious edges giving a warning signal on the sign board of life -"drive at your own risk,this could be your last day!" Check for the road from Fire station to CRP square during rainy season to have a splash of the remedial waters and if you wanna break into a jig,please ride through any of the interior lanes of the city roads and feel the thrill of dancing bones!


• 
  
  Cleanliness: we can see BMC erecting some beautiful stone carvings on the roadsides at junctions from Power house to Jaydev vihar and the one connecting AG square,but walk a bit into the bye lanes and the lanes connecting the interiors of the city,you will be surprised to find the masterpiece works of the municipal corporation- heaps of refuse lying in the open( thats but an invitation to H1N1 and Dengue and other dreaded dacoits...I mean Viruses which dare to threaten your life),blocked drains overflowing onto the roads and stray cows and dogs manning the traffic! Unique for any one to see.


• 
  
  People: like in any other part of the world,they are more cordial than any one can expect. you can see them flouting every norm possible and yes,congratulations: we are soon adopting the Delhi's aggresive culture! No mistake of your's but still then,you are the one at the recieving end!

One thing is missing- sense! it has gone to loiter into the woo0ds for the people here. Anyone and everyone is least bothered about the rules and civic sense. Everyone is in a hurry,all want to talk -least bothered as to where they are-petrol station or inside the ATM counter or in the mid of a honking road which competes for speed in the rush hour! Walking pavements have become shortcut routes for the wheelers,not to spare the 4 wheelers which block the pavements as parking lots near the warning boards put the traffic commissionerate of police which spells fine of Rs.500 for flouting norms!

Who cares???

The one who cares,is the least cared! .........

Say what??

Research is crazy!!!!

If there is nothing to experiment and derive, experiment the minutest of the things existing in the universe which are of least importance!

That is what precisely The New York University has done with its FB findings!

Now what is the necessity to find what is the impact of the use of FB on its users?? How many will follow it or who will deem it to be a necessary issue???? Economics needs it not neither does anyone!

People need not be adviced about the benefits or the disadvantages that these social networking sites do have on their lives as it is a matter of common sense which prevails. now if there is a section of the society which wants to express itself on these sites in a manner which would blow out the wits of the censor board,then, universities like NY cannot alleviate the situations with their findings- they cannot embed in these people a sense that should be common and prevailing in them!

for a thought, can we avoid people like eve teasers and vagabonds and educatedly uneducated people who flaunt everything- right from their intelligence to stupidity??? if not,then how can one think of avoiding the junk in cyber space??

While research and development is necessary,not much can be done to improvise the thinking of people and the young masses who listen to none but impulse and situation! So,better it would be to allow the brains for value additions in areas where it is most needed like poverty alleviation which happens to be the most disturbing economic ailment still lingering.

Crazy kia re!

in memory.....million jolly thoughts!

Suddenly when i plugged my ears with the telugu songs and played the favorite number,"Manasa..." from the movie Munna, i was transported back to Rajahmundry for a moment! The ever flowing river Godavari, the breeze in the evening that eased the tensions of the whole day's work and wiped the memories of the slang bang from the boss, the beautiful nazara of the setting sun behind the waves of the cool waters of Godavari, the fishermen's boats floating on the serene waters searching for the fodder for the day and the travel boats trying to persuade young couples for a ride in the waters.......hmmmmmmmmmmm. I could smell the air and hear the prayers in the ISKON temple by the river ghats,the shouts and cheers of the children in the water park in the Hotel River Bay and can feel the devotional atmosphere of the town.

Frankly speaking,I never had such great memories not even in Pune wherein I stayed for a couple of years to attain the degree of the Masters in management! I enjoyed there,but as a student. Here,at Rajahmundry,I enjoyed as a free man- I was no more limited by my parents money. I had my own money to spend and enjoy as i wanted. That was the joy of being an individual after 25 years of living which flew away while I nursed my bruised health since childhood and chased my dream of becoming a MBA! Life to me now was like a parachute in the atmosphere!

Freaking out with my pal on his scooter or on a bike,going on long drives,discovering the beauty of the nature filled with freshness of a young mind, visiting temples decades older than our grand parents and their parents, crossing brooks which could have swept us away, interactions with paranormal beings,a beautiful relationship that lasted till the time I was there ...can never be divorced!

Today if i am enjoying Telugu songs,I would thank Jo who had gifted me the CD on one of my Birthday...something which i can never forget. There are many songs which we used to sing while playing antakshari on phone almost everyday,talk and talk and talk as much as we could...she was a revelation in herself, a lady in her late 30's with responsibilty of a district and two kids to manage at home. I learnt how to be smiling even when the world commanded us to do all the worlds work at a moment! She taught me how to be laugh and manage the corporate tensions simultaneously. Well,I got a brother also...Rama. He was the person who introduced the whole town to me and made me known to the town. He taught me how to interact with the people there, how to be the best in business and tricks to win clients. he was a client as well for me generating record business for RMF. I and anna (as i call him) were the envy of the competitors as we were close officially and personally.

Devotion, fasting and a sea change in my speaking (Telugu we speak and telugu spoken there at is different), a bend towards God and a strong belief....all this courtsey anna. In Bhubaneshwar, i never used to go to temples,forget fasting! I used to just wish Hi to God in our Puja room and that was more for me but this change in me .....may be God would have been surprised.

well, the memories keep over flowing...i how ever,stop here.
see ya later frnds!
