"Official Names" in the Constitution, Bhaarat or India

UrdudaaN 2 Indian State shud amend... the country shud be called only the "official names" as in the constitution e.g Bhaarat or India, and not just/Hind'vii or hindi Hindustan... or 4 that matter in all vernacular languages... Let someone go 2 the courts and ask 4 a directive from the courts in this regard 4 INC lead this coalition is also a 'Hindu' rule...

Censor Board will eventually be held responsible 4 clearing the controversial movie "jo Bole So Nihaal... only if they were literate enuff :)... with a changed title and certain Sikh religious context removed, it wud ready 4 theatrical release or published in other words.

Stupid Sunny Deol with stupid lot of film makers likes of Zee, Anil Sharma and co. shud be debarred from movie making...

The birth of Santa? - Bart Simpson] while they had no clue of the scale of catastrophe it were 2 cause... 200k+ dead and 10 times homeless and 2 world leaders kept holidaying till 29th January [ooops December '04].

INC and Co-Op Scams, Even Sonia Insensitive/unresponsive

08:27 AM 05/19/2005 :: Sharad Yaadav 2 Bhandaarii blaming gujarat 'Hindutwa lab' pogrom misdeeds 4 the lumpen's loss... Not just Gujarat Mass violence will prevent them the seat of power everywhere but longer the Milosovic pol potty Modi retained by the 'sick Beej' more they will loose 2 the oblivion... [and Sonia headed Raajive Gaandhii foundation praising Gujraat guv on development, while no justice 4 thousands of riot crimes still unpunished. And btw this is an apparent PR practice 2 create an apolitical image 4 the Foundation]

But INC is no good either... its ministers keep calling this land as Hindustan...[hindutwa in through the back doors] May be Samajwaadii party one day get rid of loudmouth stupid Amar Singh & Pehalwaan Mulaayam and socialist-jingoist capitalist Sahaara and come mainstream and replace INC... a strong third front leading this nation and INC in opposition till INC get rids of all its greedy power hungry low lives and come clean... and both this formation rotating rule... not as deluded lumpen Jetly suggested as them and INC rotating business [Karan Thaapar/Beeb]... tathagat single handedly combated the menial-lumpen... supported Sonia against rightist xenophobia... but even Sonia insensitive, non-responsive towards t's plight... Kamalnaath camp Local INC leaders' associate jiimoed me fixed deposit... of which t has been constantly reminding on these pages... yet nothing happened... no friggin jobs goin either... t shud seek refuge in other part of the globe... intelligent enuff 2 recon & use me talent.

Calling Bhaarat as Hindoostan is Hindutwa Through the Backdoor

12:50 PM 05/21/2005 :: Dekho duniya-gaoNwaaloN... hindutwa still lives... certain few channels and a few INC minister keep calling this Buddhadesh as hindustaan... Hindu roughly means a mixture of 'pagan heathen societies'... which is a misnomer and derogatory as well... beside declaring this land belonging 2 Hindus only while siikhs, Moslem, Christian, Buddhist, Jainas live here in ten of millions... in the constitution it is Bhaarat, Paaswaan on record raised this issue in the Parliament [no confidance against NDA guv debate]... high time somebody move the courts so that union ministers 2 dalla corporate media checked 2 do this "backdoor Hindutwa"...

Shantum Seth & "Walking in The Footstepts of Buddha" & DDN

glad 2 see Shantum Seth on DDN... "Walking in the Footsteps of Buddha fame"... launching some travelogue book on Buddhist Monk... MMS guv shud invite Thich Naht Hanah 2 India... kHushawant Malice/HT this weekend talked about buddha... proof that despite him author of many books... khushwant remains a chhichhora journo... with superficial and shallow knowledge] beside journoes 2 scribes not creative either], Buddha's silence about question of God wasn't just "studied silence"... not necessarily meant "i don't know" rather "that i have no conclusion about it" or "journey shud be continued, finding out urself"... than he goes on to say that Buddha was obsessed with gloom... but goes on 2 publish a poem supporting buddha's first noble truth... 2 nature and its glory from blue skies 2 singing birds, sparkling sunshine, flowers in bloom etc. stuff Osho talked often that 'which' khushwant wudn't get though he is among 'friend of Osho'...

Paapajii, Buddha, Sorrow & God

btw paapajii shud have narrated the tale... how three different persons visit Buddha with question about god... 1st one asked "is there a God" of which Buddha responded negative... 2nd one suggested there is none and Buddha disagreed... and 2 the third one Buddha kept mum.. closed his eyes sat quietly... the visitor did the same after 10-15 minutes sitting in silence in the lotus posture, opened his eyes... thanked Buddha and left... Aanand, Buddha's elder first cousin lived with Buddha like a shadow... got confused, confronted the awakened one... three different answer 2 three different people... said it wud be impossible 2 sleep 4 him... Buddha said first of all those questions were not urs nor the answers were meant 4 u... its like reading somebody else's mail... Aanand begged 2 differ saying Eyes can be shut but ears have no such device... and me present in the room?!? Buddha said the answer seem different but it is the same... the first visitor was a believer and wanted validation of his belief... the next was an atheist and he wanted the same and the third didn't have any conclusion or any preconceived notion about god and his question was simply 2 learn and to him I said no word and sat in silence and he got the answer in that silence... and that sitting in silence answer such a question... and Aanand u wud recall he thanked me b4 he left... so here Buddha was saying "find out 4 urself" or that "the answer rn't outside u but within oneself and in silence the answer to that question arise"

State Accreditation 4 Bloggers!?! What About Digital-Divide Menace

09:27 AM 05/18/2005 :: Ah Accreditation 4 Indian Bloggers...

Diana Hayden/Biography/History channel real charming one... though it cud be improved a lot... more photographs flashed fast repeatadly will make it photographic Biography]

Lata/AB providing legitimacy 2 disruptive forces

11:35 AM 05/12/2005 :: Guv responded 2 Maaya charges of Harassment as "not vindictive" but sure biased towards dalit/minority... And Laalu case of disproportionate asset case is merely 35 lakhs... while Brahminical makkaars got tons of crores piled up... yet no action on them... from Popa 2 bhaaNds, 2 much coverage on them. The stupid Mass media corporate dallaas just believes in numbers & TRPs only considerations!! [Krusty The Clown :: So, have a merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a kwaazy Kwanza, a tip-top Tet, and a solemn, dignified, Ramadan. And now a word from MY god, our sponsors! ~ in The Simpsons]

Somaya Tandon, Nida Khan, Anisha Nayyer/HLT Sunetra Chowdhry, Richa Jain, Hrithika Jhaanjii/NDTV, Rupa & Ranjini/IndiaTV etc., so pretty... tumre chehroN se hii nazar nahiN haTtii/ kHabreiN hum ka kHaaq suneiN dekheiN?!? Sharad Pawar, Lata & AB providing legitimacy 2 disruptive forces... what a shame!! or is that they r paid 4 their 'endorsement' of the menial-lumpen.

Buddha Will Smile as GV Dumps its Nukes

04:52 PM 05/11/2005 :: Sonia lambasted them good... so did the PM. ABV Aadvaanii self praising About their Nuke misadventure... ABV saying V broke no International law... yeah the same lingo as the North Korea and Iran speaking. Not Just Pokhran II was a mistake but the pokhran I as well... Buddha smiles... dah! this Buddha feels pissed & sad... until India abandon its Nuke program completely... this is "Aum Shaanti, shaantii, shaantiihii" land like no other land... ahimsak feminine nature characteristics and shud remain so... "hamaara kHoon amaanat hai nas'l-e-nao ke liye/ hamaare kHoon pe lashkar na pal sakenge kabhii..." Pokhran II underground test costed this poor nation about 20k crores and 70-90k in sanctions in the aftermath... dumping of all nukes is slow a plan as the implementation of Kyoto Protocol concerns... [ah NDTV calling Baal Thakrey Baala SAAHAB!!!] btw t blesses this Buddhaland ample rains... probably it will be best of rains ever happened... but except bajrangii ruled pradesh...

Reconstitute Pro-Right Biased EC

02:17 AM 05/09/2005 :: ...EC, the election commission that is, shud be re-constituted as "thoRa ne ghana" Sapta or seven of Rishiis all rolled in one, much praised & ranked bureaucrat raising serious accusations... They r sure look and seem biased to me... paaltoo from all angles... so them more biased to the right and finding an excuse 2 do what they wanted 2 do in the name of being independent, autonomous, impartial... etc [btw they depend on everiithing on the admin., or is there any provision in the budgetary allocations 4 funding the commission] without giving a serious thought of the repercussions... the guy goin' there some guy called Rao looks fookin' senile 2 the core...

PR & LibDem 22% of 645 = 140+ seats

Mazdoor party of aanglaland return in power 4 record third time... Bankruptcy of them white folks... Still makkaar "winner-take-all" system of voting is on... poor Liberal democrats big looser... getting 22%+ vote share and small in number [22% of 645 wud be 140+ seats]... and btw about 40%+ didn't vote.. the largest chunk, meaning more people in the UK chose Anarchy... the enlightened citizenry which need no governance... South Asia is ready for a center-left polity and LibDems ruling... Intellectuals, qalambardaar alambardaar Performing artists, the Cine ones and the Real ones ;) come together, with a whole loadz of cumming together... and form a party and outsmart these con-artists @ poly_tics...

lampats not reckoning how Sonia lead INC lead secular democratic front fought last GE and won... coz Sonia responded 2 "INC not let any one else provide political stablity" charge... Her popularity grew b'coz of that, the constructive opposition, but Aadvaani memeoid apparently doesn't have so much of time... desperate 2 b'come CEO of Bhaarat. So this way lampaTs r goin' to loose hoi polloi support further... good... them doin' themselves in!?! lol... Vinaash Kaale Vipreet Budhdhii...

LampaTs on the street where they belong

11:40 PM 05/06/2005 :: Menial-lumpen of the Indian polity boycotting the parliaments... meaning them not doin' what they were elected for... and that's the message goin' to the people is that they don't deserve 2 be sent there in the first place. Another message, in the wake of all their financial hanky pankyis that they wanna duck all those charges of corruption... and btw is this undemocratic boycott is on 4 only this session or is it that they don't intend 2 come back et all?!?

Arun Shourie kHaaqii knickers memeoid caught @ Centaur Hotel sell-off... Phukan was a NDA puppet and him using Defence Aircraft is a proof... What about 'Place of Worship' demolition crime... the Baabrii mosque demolition crime of 1992... 13 years on that crime still unpunished.

Dubya's Moorkhistan Only 12% women Reps

02:17 AM 04/01/2005 :: Another blow 2 Dubya... 4 fabrication, sexing up intelligence as false pretence 4 war... messing up America's credibility [?] 4 long time 2 come... Zoe Busiek mentioned 14% political space 4 women in US poly_ticks... :) a pretty detective suggesting [demonstrating in the process, political awareness among other professions of other worlds] a subject worth discussing, when offered radio jockey seat. Why can't Bollywood bimbos/scriptwriters be this smart... glad that bhaaNDs in their real life associating with good ngo causes... but on screen characters seldom engage in any such activity...

PR Sys of Voting Inevitable

Many discussions on newly acquired right by womenfolk... kudos, their right 2 do nightshifts in factories... many women politicians talking about reservation 4 women in politics, on most idiotbox media, but no one talking about PR or full representation system of voting... if women r pragmatic enuff they soon start 2 debate about this latest, modern advanced voting system, which has been adapted by most modern democracies... it will gain strength from all minorities... coz it just doesn't provide adequate political representation to women alone but minorities as well... this just political demand, that 2 inevitably... by 2 formidable political groups of women & consolidated minorities will realize it like piece of cake... this Brahmin empire will crumble with proportional representation. taking cue from tathagat a student group of a US Univ., is 2 send tons of emails... good!! tathagat is pretty sure PR will be adopted eventually... indeed it is inevitable... its just matter of time. Coz...

04:38 AM 03/30/2005 :: Counter Punch Cockburn in Delhi @ X-Factor/NDTV... global dumbing down media is the subject... but isn't that the first lesson in journalism is 2 trivialize everything in order 2 make it comprehensible 4 the hoi polloi... roTiiraam baaTiiraams @ arms proliferation... 83k crores 4 defense in this year's budget, up from 77K. prior 2 that 65K. Paakiis shud have turned down this much much delayed, reluctant supply of effing eff16s... in gesture 'roll it and stick it'... if Blair is Dubya poodle, wonder what it wud make of the General Musharraf...

Sufii Tasawwuf Music Gone Pop ::

11:43 PM 03/27/2005 :: Sufi tasawwuf they tried 2 talk on the Humloag/NDTVhindvii, singing it 2... no one cud explain the Sufi phenomenon but wonder if it all cud be said in words. Words r picture while music or naad or sound definitely not picture. Sufi music not just coming mainstream but b'coming pop is a real sign of real beginning of a new millennia, as 2 what is Sufism, women & Sufism what is Sufism wonder if it's still on?!? :: [Camille Adams Helminski of the Mevlevi Sufi Order, briefly discusses some well-known women Sufis and central issues concerning women in the history of Sufism.] [ZeeTV started on MKG's birthday and renaming a few of the channels and redesigned logos of all on me B-day...]

Wolf! Wolf!! WB Wooof!!!
