Hey folks, i am back after pretty much a long...long time, nearly a year. Well this whole year had been a disaster for me both at the personal level as well as at a professional level. But as it is said that, 'you should look to present instead of thinking of your past and future', i have moved on.
And yes folks, i got married this year to a girl of my choice. Very cute, nice and loving. The best thing I love about her is her smile and simplicity in every thing she does. We have lot more in common.
Well it's time to be back to work. So, i hope to write on my blog frequently now.

Great Obama
Folks, this Diwali was really awesome, the President of the United States - Barack Obama visited India. With his ever charming style and magnanimity,he really won the heart of young Indians. His address to the Indian Parliament was really phenomenal, his ability to keep the crowd spell bound with his oratory skills is really amazing.
He knew and has known that India really is an important ally for the United States of America. He even touched upon the issue of India's request for a permanent sit at UNSC. He spoke greatly of the Indian hospitality and culture. With the same enthusiasm and spirit he even addressed and took question from students at St.Xavier's Mumbai in his typical town hall style meetings.
Folks, he admires our father of nation Gandhiji so much and all those who are inspired by Gandhiji's struggle and his way of living. I have read all of Obama's books, he really appreciates and shows how he has learned from all the great people in the world including Dr. Kind and Abraham Lincoln. Its time that we Indians should learn from this man, who has shown the young Americans the power of change. The same power of change and confidence can transform us into a nation that the world can identify as the world's most powerful country. We needs to be reminded of what Gandhiji has said, "Be the Change you wish to see in the World".

Politics of hooligans – Where is Democracy?
Folks, what has happened in the last 6 months and just yesterday in Bihar Assembly is really a shame on Indian democracy. Politicians going hooligans or rather behaving like hooligans. It’s really high time that, we the people – as we very proudly call ourselves should realize that this nation or States of this nation needs a ‘change’ – a change not only in terms of the way these States are governed but also a change in the perception of the people. We got to stop this ‘chalta he’ (let it be, the way it is) attitude and take a step towards a change in the way the ‘politics’ is understood today by a common man.
Please for the love of God, stop these hooligans from thinking of their own interest and make them realize that they had taken a vow to protect the interest of the people of their respective states and not their own interest. What is happening today or rather what has happened for quite a long time now is that the leaders at the top themselves are compromising the nation’s interest in the name of ‘party politics’ and ‘power’. To stop this, we need to rise with a collective voice of ‘change’, a ‘change’ in the way we take these politicians and their actions for granted.

Football World Cup Grand Final
Folks, What a grand finale it was, indeed remarkable. Spain has proved that it’s the world’s best football team. Those initial 90 minutes were real nerve breaking minutes, both Spain and Holland attacking each other with an equal force. The came those yellow cards, it was really a nightmarish experience for Holland to have got so many yellow cards. But then the final blow from Spain came in those extra 30 minutes, that too in the last 3 minutes of the game.
This world cup had really been full of surprises with most of world’s best teams out of the game in the initial rounds – Italy, France and Brazil. And then to top it all there was this astrologer ‘Paul the Octopus’, who had really been the centre of attraction throughout the world cup. Seven out of Seven predictions, really unbelievable. But yes all in all a really entertaining world cup.

Love Story 2010
Folks, today i am going to talk about a little love story. I will then left it to your judgment, if it was really a love story or a case of mere infatuation or attraction. Let me begin with my character, his name is Vansh, a simple, honest and a very truthful guy. Who is lively and believes in enjoying life. Vansh works for a small organization and where everybody likes him & his way of living life. In his intial 6 months at this office he remained happy go lucky types. But then suddenly in the last couple of months he felt that he has something in common with a girl working for the same organization with whom he had been interacting quite often.
Suddenly he decides to take that girl's cell number and she gives him happily. They start exchanging SMSs and sometimes Vansh would call and even she would call him. Vansh realizes something, that may be he has feelings for her and even she has feelings for him. The way this was progressing was way too fast, Vansh realized that but somehow something struck him that no she is the one, his true love that he had been scouting for ages. Finally he decided to ask her for a date. But before taking any such bold step, he decided to consult her best friend in office. Vansh spoke to her and that girl gave a very confident answer that she is a very nice girl, you should propose to her.
On that very advise and given Vansh's observation, he decided to propose her. Went to her and told her that he likes her but then comes the girl's reply, you should have told me earlier,I am already engaged for the last two years. Vansh felt totally devastated by this answer but then could not help it either. That girls calls him up and says you yourself believe in enjoying life, so i am sorry, be happy and don't feel bad.
So, folks this is the end of the little love story. But belive me folks this guy Vansh, as I know of him,has always been through such times. He even shared this me and told me how unlucky he is in matter of love.
Sometimes i really don't understand what God has in store for us, especially when it comes to love, for Vansh i know it will be difficult to move on. Rest you guys decide what was his fault? Is falling in love with a girl, who is so cute and nice to you a wrong?

The Bhopal gas tragedy Verdict
Folks, just couple of days back, a local Court in Bhopal (MP) announced the verdict on the World’s worst industrial disaster – ‘the Bhopal Gas Leak Case’. The Verdict – it says has convicted 8 people for a mere two years imprisonment with a meager fine of INR 1 lakhs. There is a lot of hue & cry on the verdict in terms of very meager punishment accorded to some of the people manning the then UCIL.
People have compared this case with the recent oil spill that happened in the Gulf of Mexico, US, where the US President Barack Obama has announced that highest punishment be meted out to those responsible for the oil spill, that is the BP. The criticism or rather a comparison had been drawn between the two tragic incidents, as in the latter the US government has announced huge amount of compensation while in the former, way back in 1996 after the SC’s verdict a settlement amount was agreed to between the Government and the then UCC, which was to the tune of $4.7 million. This in fact prime facie seems to be a travesty of justice, especially considering that in the Bhopal case the then US government did nothing for extraditing the prime accused Anderson (chief of UCC). The defence was that US government’s hands were tied up by the existing laws. This to a certain extent was true that US laws were such that Anderson’s extradition could not have been effected.
But it’s really high time that we in India should consider enacting such laws, wherein a foreign government’s co-operation can be easily sought on such kind of disasters that are a result of the negligence of few of the man manning such foreign corporations. A good case in point here the ‘Nuclear Civil Liability Bill’, over which a heated debate has already taken place as to the capping of liability of a foreign government (the US in the Nuke deal). The road ahead in this direction is still murky & bad, we need to draw a make a clear policy decisions on this issue.
