A Time to Live A time to Speak

So what do you do when you get angry, irritated and bugged by all the non-sense going around you? When you dont have a proper outlet to tell people why you are angry?

I believe most of my fellow Mumbaikars (and yes i am one) would be feeling the same way as i am feeling right now.
Its become a trend for people to comment on Mumbai's Spirit of Bouncing back.... which is a fact, but we mumbaikar's already know that!!!

What we need to know is, though we stayed afloat after the floods, did anyone in the government, state or central, even bothered to rectify the whole thing? Going by this years' managment it doesnt seems like!!!

What we need to know is, after paying the highest service tax, sales tax and income tax in the country, why is our city not getting enough water & power?

What we need to know is, although number of blasts have rocked the city, not just now, but since 1993, has a single person been prosecuted for it?

People it is very easy to stay away from all this and make a statement, but try living it out here then you will understand what WE feel.

When you get back home after a bad day in office, where some one climbs up because of thier sources and not merit ( no this has nothing to do with reservations) you get irritated. Then the local trains are over crowded which irritates you more. If you take the roads its no better. Your house may have been flooded while you were away due to floods. Or it may so have happened that there is shortage of water... Dont you think we will get very irritated?
Then it may so happen that blasts will take place and we looose near and dear ones.... all over the country it will be said MUMBAI WILL BOUNCE BACK, and we do, but nothing is done about it.
IRRITATED!!!!!!!!!!

On top of it, some wired person makes a study that MUMBAI IS THE RUDEST PLACE ON EARTH!!!!!!!

Boy if i meet that person i will show him what being rude can mean... and i tell you, I have lived in Delhi for good long time!!!!!!!

WE BOUNCE BACK BUT IT DOESNT MEAN YOU TAKE US TO BE THE HIT ME JOKER!!!!!!!

If we strike and decide not to pay the taxes and duties that we do... the costlies petrol that we buy... you guys making these statement will really have a big problem.

So please stop telling us to bounce back. We have done it and we will do it.

And by the way, this may be my last blog as the government has decided to block all indian blogs.
Boy does this government find new ways of being called Backward!!!!

Ever thought if democracy was not an option for us, how things would have been?
Dont wonder to much for we are very nearly in that age where democracy will not be something we are used to.
With every person in this government and on the whole... the political parties of this country... trying to fill their pockets at the expense of the country, it's people and above all the democracy of this country.

People don't have the right to expree not do they have equality.
Being governed in this state means being forced to live according to mental level of few people who have the power circuits with them.

Even our society is now becoming one of the most ill tempered, unbehaved society in the world. Tolerence, once our forte, is now just something shown by weak person.

Everyone takes to the street and starts assaulting whoever, wherever and whatever if its not to his or he liking. Imagine, one day you will have to buy a new car because your present chevy was banned in this country for it was American and some people dont like america or any of its product.

Live life 5 years at a time seems to be the way for our new generation. Thats according to the tenure of the government... hopefully after 5 years if the government doesnt change there may be some continuity in our lives.

With our best admin people now just catering to orders of few outsider... and please dont think i am against anyone, this whole country is becoming one circus.

And then few people would turn around and ask, "why the hell do these engineers study in iits at governments expense and then go to America?" or so for IIMs.

Why should they not... when the very mean of studying in these institute is based on your caste and not merit, what good will it to stay here and work with those same classmates who dont deserve to be with them.

Atleast let these IITians and IIM grads go to America before a 50% eservation is imposed on granting of visa to OBCs, ST, SC, and many more.

Someone rightly said, "India is the only country where people fight to be called.... BACKWARDS"
