And today morning I woke up and tuned in to the radio it was great news to learn that the Noida Yamuna bank Metro is on test drive which means it would soon be operational. Great relief man.

And going thru the articles in the paper in hand I found this wonderful piece by guess whom.. ? Thomas freedman! yeah i do not know first when i read him but since then it has been a great reading. Espl his green techand economy based ones.

Well here is Thomas friedman’s column on terrorism and the GUD WORK the american Mr Greg Mortenson is doing and all that stuff. I was moved by the last paragraph, I nad we all know its not true but the way americans depict their deeds and justify them is god save us. Well I love Thomas freedmans articles because he is one of the few that focusses on the green economy and futuristic technologies. Long live green tech. SGV TRIBUNE

“When a girl gets educated here and then becomes a mother, she will be much less likely to let her son become a militant or insurgent,” he added. “And she will have fewer children. When a girl learns how to read and write, one of the first things she does is teach her own mother. The girls will bring home meat and veggies, wrapped in newspapers, and the mother will ask the girl to read the newspaper to her, and the mothers will learn about politics and about women who are exploited.”

So there you have it. In grand strategic terms, I still don’t know if this Afghan war makes sense anymore. I was dubious before I arrived, and I still am. But when you see two little Afghan girls crouched on the front steps of their new school, clutching tightly with both arms the notebooks handed to them by a U.S. admiral – as if they were their first dolls – it’s hard to say: “Let’s just walk away.” Not yet.

To commemorate 10 years of the Kargil war, Abhishek Bachchan travelled to Drass and Kargil (where most of the war was fought), to Abhishek Bachchan visit the jawans.

Bachchan Junior was joined by many soldiers for an evening full of emotional turns and lilting poetry. Nearly 300 soldiers from far flung places around Drass, many having walked a treacherous distance from their remote outposts to be part of this special evening, were duly rewarded with a simple yet poignant gift. Abhishek presented his illustrious poet-grandfather late Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s soul-stirring poem, Agneepath, calligraphed by Amitabh Bachchan on a specially designed mount board to the jawans. He recited the poem to the rivetted audience that magical evening. The poem penned during India’s struggle for freedom is Abhishek’s personal favourite and echoes the spirit of sacrifice and valour that this gathering of jawans embodied.

When I opened my eyes there she was a cute girl an angel dressed in a red gown, I just spread my arms and she came running to me I just closed her in my arms.

My sleep was blown away and when I now had a pleasant feeling in my heart. Roja my darling. We played we jumped we screamed and all this in a first meeting, we didnt know each other earlier. Now Roja is 11 years old and when she came to me on the day that I mentioned, she was helpless with her mother dead and her father following her.

It all happened when Roja’s father was diagonised with HIV and Roja’s mother in a fit of anger and desperation as well as insult poured Kerosine on herself and set herself ablaze. Looking at them the poor kid was helpless didnt know what was going on but only knew something was terribly wrong. After a few months of struggling to cope up with the fact that his lifestyle as a lorry driver and his irresponsible sex as well as unsafe and unloyal relationship with his wife cost him his dear wife’s life the poor man killed himseelf. Not knowing or infact not realising that they were leaving 2 kids literally on the streets.

Here she is Roja, and More or less with the same story came another small child from Kurnool Hsheema and then another one Meena and revathi all victims of AIDS no I would rather say a result of irresponsible unloyal sex partners which turned them orphans for no fault of these little kids. She still reels in my heart and mind whenever i close my eyes those little eyes were not to be forgotten for ever. I strongly wanted to post her Picture but wouldnt like to share it, dont know why ?!

“An Olympic shooter wins gold in a game, government gives him Rs.30 million. Another shooter dies, fighting with terrorists (while) saving our country and our lives and the government pays his family Rs.500,000. Truly Great India?”

“Enough is enough. The terrorists have not only attacked Mumbai but our national pride.”

“Thousand salutes to Mr Hemant Karkara, Mr Vijay Salaskar and Mr Ashok Kamte. Please pay homage to our great warriors. Send this to all Indians,”

Your Mumbai needs you for fighting against the ‘Real outsiders,’”

Where is Raj Thackeray and his brave Sena? Tell him that 200 NSG commandos from Delhi (No Marathi manoos) have been sent to Mumbai to fight the terrorists so that he can sleep peacefully – Mumbaikars.”

“180 killed, 22 foreigners, three ATS officials, 14 policemen and two NSG commandos and the irony is that the national flag is half-mast for the death of a person (former prime minister V.P. Singh) who divided the country.”

`Vande Mataram, Neta Besharam’

`Gali, gali mein shor hain, Pakistan chor hai’

`Chief minister, you should have shown the terrorists Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag. They would have died automatically.’

`There are some more terrorists in India. They’re called politicians.’

“They’ve raped our motherland. We want war,”

“No security for politicians. Every martyred policeman should get Rs 5 crore,”

“A humble appeal to Mahesh Bhatt, Ram Gopal Verma, Sanjay Gupta, Rahul Dholakia and Apoorva Lakhia, Sirs, what’s happening in our beloved Bombay is terrifying and sad,”

“Ramgopal verma bought up two SARKARS and brought down one Sarkar”

“The real terrorists are the politicians who have repeatedly kept silent when Mumbai and other cities of India have been repeatedly attacked and mauled. Let’s first tackle them.”

“Pseudo-secularism is the bigger problem than terrorism. You get rid of this community and you will see that terror threats will come down on its own.”

All those who had lost their lives while saving this city are Marathis and that MNS workers are busy donating blood and helping police for rescue operations.”

“The politicians and administration are equally to be blamed. They only want our votes. If they can’t protect me and secure the country then I want all of them out.”

“For the first time in my life, I am not proud to be an Indian.”

‘We would be happy had our politicians been the victims’

‘To the media Why are you showing politicians coming to visit the Taj? Show us the real heroes, the commandos who saved lives’

‘And now the president is visiting our Mumbai tomorrow to provide lip service. Do we want our brave cops to run behind these useless politicians or do we want them to focus on the investigations? We must stop all politicians from visiting Mumbai for their own political gains and hamper the investigations. Please join in to protest against such visits. Please convey this to all Mumbaikars.’

‘Please forward Raj Thackeray’s phone number. Don’t know where he is when you need him. We want him to go and save aamchi Mumbai along with his MNS goondas, the sons of the soil. Army, NSG commandos are not Marathi manoos. Why should they fight or lay their lives for Mumbaikars?’

‘I don’t want to light a candle to bury my remembrance for those who have died. My heart is full of anger, resentment, pain and revenge. I see no victory. I see no reason to celebrate. I see no reason to hoist my national flag outside the Taj Hotel. Ten terrorists had the power to make the entire nation go crazy for 60 hrs.’

“Enough is enough! I was already tired of both the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] and the Congress making political capital of the Mumbai attack. The BSP [Bahujan Samaj Party] is no different,”

“Please accept my good morning and humble request. Please cast your vote against sealing, demolition, corruption, terrorism on heights, inflation. Mayawati.”
