Grave question marks hang over the Gaza killings. “We used to plan our lives day by day. Now, it’s hour by hour,” says a survivor
peace is no where...

enemies are everywhere...

humanity seems to be no where...

W ..wI ..wiK ..wikI .. WIKI Media

this is some good news (for WIKI of course)

This latest fund-raising campaign has been going since mid-November, but Wales' pitch, posted at Greenwich Mean Time on Dec. 24 in several languages and linked to a prominent banner on the site's home page, brought in an extra 8,000 contributors--a 9-fold jump, the biggest in the non-profit's history.

God kaun hai?

क्या हर एक अच्छा आदमी भगवान् बन जाता है ? तोह शायद महात्मा गांधी भी कोई तोह भगवान् बने होंगे, कौन से?

this was my innocent definition of God. I believed in him. I chanted for him. I loved him. I cried for him when in need. I loved the sweets offered on his name. I revered him. I guess all this because I found this more tangible than trying to understand eternity nature of Him. So the years passed by trying to look smarter and but failing to be one and in the process forgetting the question. And one particular day i wondered again, well where's/who's he then? And that is when I was reminded of the above Question yet again... so i guess search is on....

How many of you have seen this...

Mithya. I hadn't until today. Director - Rajat Kapoor Script by - Rajat and Saurabh Cast - Ranvir, Neha, Naseer,Harsh Chhaya, Vinay, Saurabh etc. All of them at the same place. How much fun they might have had making this movie. All the veterans but never the superstars. All the actors but never the cynosure of our eyes. All the people and never a dangling character. Sums up a great movie and never ever a lose intent along the way. Beautiful because they weren't making a type casted movie. Creative because there is no place i have seen this before. Bold because experiment was totally out of the league. Rajat Kapoor is a good director!!!

Another down...

I am not sure how should i be feeling about this. Though the friendship is to the bare minimum and joviality is to bare professionalism... but yes we have been around for almost all my professional life here. And this guy's also leaving. This sudden depression of sorts may just be cauz i m not the person who is leaving and rest others are, but there is same realization .. 'yet another down'... or rather up, up and away... whatever be the case its difficult ... its difficult to lose the old folks .. its difficult to know .. u r the ones who is old among fresh ones... and its difficult to believe 'i am actually getting so fidgety about the whole deal'. Sort of same old feeling the stretch of which is kinda directly proportional to stretch of time you had been with the person. May be i will get over this.. may be this will go under the carpet... may be it would simply vanish... may i might simply fly out ... but today i had to write about it!!!

Modern day dilemma...

Put humanity on dick …. Ok …. Asshole जब वोह यहाँ आके मारते हैबच्चो को वोह humanity है
भेन्चोद घर में घुस कर मारों ..जो मिले उसे मारोऔरनामो निशान मिटा दो
सालो कोहिन्दी इंग्लिश या उर्दू कुछ समझ नही आतीभेन्चोद गांड में गोली उतारोगे तभी
दिमाग मई बात बैठेगीइनकी आने वाली नस्लों मे कि …. हरामियों कभी इंडिया साईं पंगा लिया नै
तोह माँ ही नही …..तुम्हारी ख़ुद कि गांड भी चुदगी
humanity …

शांत गधाधारी भीम शांत ... यही कहेंगे ना युधिस्तर ? एका एक यही दिमाग में आया ऊपर लिखा जवाब पढ़के | आज कल के परिस्थितियों में यह सीन जरुर फिट बैठेता है द्रौपदी का चीड हरद और पांडवो कि ना कुछ कर सकनेकि विडम्बना| युधिस्तर भीम को शांत करते रह गए, अर्जुन अपने आप को शर्म से छुपाते रह गए, भीम फ़िर भीअपने बड़े भाई के ख़िलाफ़ जाने से कतराते रह गए ... सोचा तोह यह सूरत अभी अपने देश कि जनता (भीम) , देशके प्रधानमन्त्री (युधिस्तर) और देश के अर्जुन (शायद पुलिस कर्मी और जवान ) कि भी है कौन जानता है सहीक्या है (युधिस्टर कि
आग्यापाराता या भीम का गुस्सा) ? कौन जानता है ग़लत क्या है (लड़ाई या समझोता)? कौनजानता है कौन संभालेगा इस देश को ? कौन जानता है अपने कृष्ण कहाँ है ? सही रास्ता किस ओर है ? इस्राइलीताकत (या बैमानी करतूतें) अभी तक अपने तरीके से पलिस्तीं को समझा तोह सकी नही ... तोह अभी भारत क्याकर सकेगी एका एक अपनी शान्ति और सहयोग प्रति नीति से हटकर ... नही भाई में शायद बिल्कुल ही नहीजानता कि क्या करना है ... ना में आपके सवालों का जवाब दे पाऊंगा ...

Candyfloss boy...

इतना बड़ा धंदा करता है और टिकेट हाफ चाहिए ???
yes this how a candyfloss boy was greeted by bus conductor in BEST bus. Surprising part of the statement was that no one actually expected the boy to ask for half ticket (including me). Since, every one there was already disturbed by the boy carrying the large stick holding the candy floss, everyone noticed he saying that and burst into laughter. Well this all contrasted against his expression void face.. determined to get his half ticket. Hmmmm... actually, I am not complaining against child labor or destitution in society.. but simply how easily our eyes lose the sight of a child (in whatever form he is in) ...
