DAWN.. Breaking somewhere, Building elsewhere

Morning Light,


You scoot through the lands with freedom at a village,
You peep into narrow lanes of a city.

You initiate someone for a early walk,
You make someone else malaise.

You bring light into peoples life,
You bring plight into someone else's life .

You hover over the young pupil bright faces at school,
You also wander with an unwanting expression into  attenuated prisons.


You mark days of youngsters with a stamp of positive hope,
You mark a day for the ones on seventh stage with all the grief.


Some wait for you to arrive,
Some do not want you to punch the clock.

Some take you to be an antidote,
For someone else you are just an antibody.


You lay a bed of roses,
but also lay a platform for funeral.

Some mark you and try to remember as long as they are,
You just become an anathema for others .

You bring victories to sports men,
You leave miseries to their opponents.

You put men at work,who builds a better world,
But you take men to war over places.

You show happiness in an infants innocent smile,
You show tears in eyes of people left behind.

You bring in fresh feel of a day,
You also bring tunes of cacophony.

Just as my teacher said,
You make me bright here,
You push someone else into dark somewhere else.

You and your mate keep running away,
we shall chase you down someday,
we shall chase you down someday.

The 3 C's CHANGE,CHILLARA,CHUTTA

There are hell a lot things that as a child one experiences and wonder why they happen. Then, as life goes on, one understands what is what and all other things. Well, one strange thing that is never in my jurisdiction of understanding capability is CHANGE. No I'm not talking about change that reflects things different . The change I'm addressing here is CHILLAR. Change of currency.
I always wonder why would a shop keeper gives you a feel of pouncing on to you and giving you one tight slap when ever you ask for change. He almost creates an atmosphere as if you asked whole of his money locker for free.
Time and again when ever I come across this, it makes me feel  ridiculous when the same person who denied giving change, readily offers you change when you borrow something. Say a 5  chocolate for  100.

It was quarter past 7 in the evening when I suddenly found my bike tyre flat. I was fortunate enough to get a place which could be of my help . But every story has an unfortunate side of it and here is what happened to me. He charged me 40 and I had two 10 notes and a 500 note. It was almost the end of business hours, which made me feel assured about the change. Then came an answer from the owner of the mechanic shed that he doesn't have an exchange for 500. Main road being a little more that a 100 meters and I began my walk with a hope of finding money which would set me and my bike free.

It was baker's store that I entered first. There were people in there with different requirements . As soon as the person at the counter looked at me with a confused expression and 500 note in hand, he probably understood what I wanted . Even before I said some thing his head began to swing from -ve X-axis to +ve X-axis. My next step was into a drug store. I asked him if I could get an exchange for my 500, he began to clip his expression  and said NO, as if he was an examiner who's not allowing me into exam for being late. It was as if I asked him a pizza at the drug store.

I stepped out and found my luck turned worse. It began to rain and it was bloody heavy. I found myself no less than a begger, begging in rain for change of course. Well, that is what globalisation can do. After couple of attempts in the rain, I started to enjoy the shower. I found a small pani puri wala down the empty road, which was already flooding. My instincts almost pulled me there, for obvious reasons though and not for change. Pani puri in rain is a yard short of heaven .

Had enough of it to satisfy myself and as I began to move, I wanted to try my luck there.  If you feel I had to restart my haunt, then that was something that never happened. To my surprise, or may be even yours, I got what I wanted, there at that small vendor. It was something that made my mouth wide open. The vendor quitely took out a packet, gave me my change, not before checking it twice.

One thing that I learnt from my little experience is that you call it CHANGE in english, CHUTTA in hindi and CHILLARA in telugu. Wonder if it is a co-incidence, the very word that troubled me,surprised me and amazed me starts off with the letter "C". Isn't it ironic.

I tought twice about everything that happened in the fable. But, yet I fail to understand two things.
Well if anyone can guess why they are the way they are, please let me know....

Other than what it costs.

Last one week, took me to one of the city's most popular multiplex and also to a touring talkies. The feel of feeling my presence at a theater near by and the multiplex is quite comparable, and the comparison is quite fascinating.
And all that results in this blog post.....

Apart from a projector projecting light rays on to screen and sound box giving out the special effects and punch dialogues, and of course the ticket price  there are hell a lot of differences when you watch a movie in a multiplex and in a theater which in the by lanes of your little locality.

One thing which I did since my childhood out of curiosity is, trying to get a glimpse of the ticket counter as soon as I enter the theater . You need to get a ticket for the on going show, only then you will be allowed to park your vehicle. Even the audience wouldn't risk parking their vehicles before they get a ticket for them self. On contrary, when you intend to watch a movie in a multiplex, you will have to park your vehicle first and only then you are allowed  to look at the ticket counter. May be people are confident of getting a ticket because there are 5 to 6 screens at a multiplex.

Whole of the parking lot seems to look alike in a multiplex . And one need to wonder where you parked your  bike. Or even the cellar number may trouble you. You have got no such problem at the talkies. Only thing that bothers you is the safety of the bike. One wrongly parked vehicle can result in breaking the side indicator or rear view mirror of you bike.

One thing that made me nervous always was loosing the ticket. You have 5 members going for a movie you have same number of tickets in your hands.  You need to preserve all the 5 pieces of paper for getting into the theater. Multiplex are so much audience friendly that they just give you a piece of paper which has all the details printed, along with a cartoon, which they claim to be your photo.

Another dominating aspect that demands a draft here is posters . There wouldn't be as many posters
 of the movie that you have been too at the multiplex. One at the entrance and another at the notice board just beside door that leads you to your seat.

You also do not find many people at the multiplex talking about the movie. No matter if it is prior to the start of the show, at the interval or at the back end of the movie. You will get minimal response. Before the start of the movie people are mainly worried about the seats and the view of the screen that their seat would provide. The issue shits to combo packs that would serve them at the interval (coke+popcorn @ ***). People would only plan about spending some more time at the mall after the show. At the theaters that we are exposed to, prior to globalization, the talk would always circle around the movies,story, actors, performance, songs, gossips,highlights etc etc.

Another crazy thing that came to my sight is that, you don't come across people who would  be waiting at the doors for you to complete the show so that they can take over because the way out and the way in are not the same. So you can neither get a warning from someone about the credibility of the film nor can you help others, which happens at the end of every show at the small theaters .

In a multiplex the person coming to watch the movie is the boss. Or at least the management there makes us feel so (must be having something to do with business tactics). The management creates an environment there which says, "It is great that you have come to watch a movie here" . But here in the little theaters, the managements seems to feel great because of they have something that draws masses to them. You realise this more in the interval time when you go to a vendor selling soft drinks and popcorn.

Toilets at the multiplex are to be dealt with utmost care. First thing that bothers me are the clean mirrors. At the first go, you fail to get the navigation of the wash room. Then the sensors.You never know where there is a sensor and when & where water gets splashed. You have a drier just beside the wash basin. At the warm air comes out only for 5 sec and the machine gets terminated abruptly.  The person visiting for the first time wonders if he hasn't used the machine the way it to be used. At the theaters we are used to, there are neither clean nor are they as hitec . So ultimately one doesn't need to care for anything.

The feel of feeling the feel of a movie lies with us. Whether it is a touring talkies,  a five star theater , a pub with small screen or a multiplex, for me movie and my company are paramount. Entertainment is only thing that I get driven end of the day. Only then comes all the others.

What is 2G scam?

Well there are 3 generations of mobiles that we are using or rather used
First generation 1G, or we call that CDMA. We used to have those Lg mobiles for Tata and & Relaince. They used to provide you with the handset as well. No other network can be operated from those mobiles except for the sim that the provides has given you . This was the start of mobiles in India and  we named them 1G, First generation or CDMA. This was quite famous with Tata, Ralience & virgin. No other networks had much of CDMA (Code division multiple access) stuff .

Second generation was the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications)  world that we are or rather we WERE living untill 3G arrived. That was like, you have one hand set with you, you can use any network . Unlike that CDMA mobiles, here the user has the choice of changing the network when he wished to.

Then then came third generation and you what all you are provided with . Video calling, highspeed Internet etc etc....

Now if you set up an communication network in India, you will HAVE to transver your call only through BSNL . That might be any permutation and combination . Make a call from Airtel to Idea or Idea to Vodafone or what ever, the call has to the through BSNL. So there are certain frequency bands which are combat able with BSNL. This is just like radio frequency and and other bands. So every network has to use that specific band width or need to set to the frequency. This facility of using the frequency or spectrum will be auctioned and it is need to be bought, paying all kinds of taxes and other things to government of India.
Anything in a country like ours, should be first provided by government  only then it can be given to private sector. So that government can recover all the money it spent on installing the equipment like towers, satellite cables and all . So when 2G arrived , it was to be given to government ie Cellone should have provided it first until it recovered all the inventory it spent and only then it was to be given to private organisations.
Our telecom minister Mr. Raja was least concern about the government inventory . So he directly let out the spectrum for private firms like Bharathi Airtel ,TATA ect. The 2G spectrum scam in India involved the issue of 122 licenses of the 2G spectrum to 85 companies including many new telecom companies with little or no tax at all. For which Raja and his assosiates have been paid heavily.
So, government had to face losses of 1.76 lakh CRORES.
In short this is the story of 2g scam.

MUSIC IS DIVINE

I seriously fail to understand  the logic behind half of my generation out here, who out source music and feel as if it a deadly crime to listen to Indian music and call themselves to be "MUSICIANS" & "MUSIC LOVERS". Isn't it a bull shit kind of crap. They claim themselves to be Musicians not knowing the basic definition, that music is divine,irrespective of it being INDIAN or an OUT SOURCED track.

People here look up to an an English track and say wow!!! which is understandable, but i feel like knocking the same person down when he says Indian music is not his cup of coffee. Aren't we in most charitable position where in we applaud a product designed out side, not even giving a go at produce made at home. Don't you all so called musicians or music loves know where you are drifting .

Some say Music here is below standards, and some say Indian music is lot more of copy from western tracks. But, what it make me feel like is, fair proportion of people feel admiring music made in west is something that takes their character to a greater level. And, what's worst part of the story is that these SO CALLED ( I insist on saying SO CALLED), musicians or music lovers have so damn knowledge that they would judge music done back home.

Well, I seen no wrong is using the same  tune or source form a Western track . And even if there is something wrong, people who don't have basic knowledge about music have no right to judge or even comment. When people like you prefer the Western ones and over look the creativity here, i see no wrong in imitating or even using the source music to reach fools like you. And also one should know playing or recording the same stuff done once is not as easy. We all are living in a false prestige or false status, where in we admire people who are known all over the world just because they have a global market.

It has become a habit for every obnoxious person knowing how to play a  Guitar or Drums to call themselves to be a musician who doesn't know the basic definition of what music is . Well if it is to show Attitude, please keep it to yourself, because Indian music has nothing to play to you. What I can actually say to these people is that, if you are true music lover or a musician as you claim to be, please have a broad 'ears' to have a neat go music, irrespective of its origin,source,composer and other production values.And if you still can't actually know the value of MUSIC on a whole, they i can only pity you!!!

Stop crying about the origin of the music, source, who being great and who not being great, ultimately what a , music lover should look at is if it makes him feel good or not .
MUSIC IS DIVINE, WHETHER IT IS INDIAN OR INDIGENOUS!!!!

(this post is a dedication to all those literal fools out there who dis agree that credibility of music dosen't depends on its origin!!! )

LESS HOPE OR HOPE'LESS'

Indian Politics and Politicians, this is one area that most talk about when there is a chat on having less hope or being hopeless . Well, I said hopeless because not more that 25-40% people in India have a hope. At least, not having a hope is okay, but large proportions of Indian population are HOPE'LESS' . And this hopelessness has a direct relation with the number of odd incidents that dent the figure of INDIAN POLITICS . Be, that people like Kalmadi who's ready to pay lakhs for making his WASHROOM a safer place (may be he was too impressed with disinfection advertisements) , Raja who always appears in white & white (may be to cover the BLACK inside),  Yeddyurappa who wish to eat away all the visible land or may be, our Hou'ble Prime Minister Of India who just watchs all this to be a 3-D animation movie or may be it has more dimensions. Every one is equally responsible for this hopeless feeling that prevails, at least among we youngsters and age old people because we are one who are more worried about future. Because we neither have a home to make nor do we have heavy responsibilities

But, as someone very hopelessly told something which actually never gave me a convincing expression. "EVERY THING HAPPENS FOR GOOD & TO LOOK INTO POSITIVES IN EACH AND EVERY NEGATIVE THING".

For the By-Polls to be held in Kadapa Dist of A.P, there is a young leader contesting named Y.S.JAGAN MOHAN REDDY son of late Y.S.R . And after scrutiny of all the nominations filed, ten Jagans are to contest the by elections in Kadapa . Yes as far as 9 others with same "name" are competing against this leader in the district. It is apparent that the opposition parties have sent there mind to the renovation center and have come with this incredible idea of confusing the poor voters . And original Jagan's party not having a permanent party symbol comes to their advantage.  I would challenge my heart and soul if any of these leaders think so much about doing a word of good to the voters, or rather people they fool around.This is really a master stroke as far as confusing the voters and pushing the original JAGAN into dark .

And now, I see a positive thing alteast in this hopeless, so called crooked thinking of our leaders. That is, if BCCI ( board of cricket control in India ) should look into this very keenly, they can have all the 11 members in the team with same name, surly the opposition will be confused and we can cash upon this. And, if that one name is a iconic one, say SACHIN TENDULKAR then the game is half won already. Physiologically the game is already in our hands because every time the opposition listen to this particular name, they skip a beat or may be two. And for all of you who say this is playing negative, this is the way that our leaders are leading us. I hope BCCI is hearing me .  Or at least wearing a mask, as a replica of the icon will also do because there is physical presence of characters here. And probably for the first time I'm able to see something positive in negative . Well at least lest HOPE everything happens for a reason and that suspicious reason comes good .

From now on lets HOPE MORE to figure out a positive in every scam that our country sights.
