"Ab... SAB DiKHTAA HAi"

PM Manmohan Singh said he is ready to appear before enquiry committee, because "unke paas chippane ko kuch nahi hai..." =D>

Ab chipaane se yaad aaya... woh bhi kyaa din the......??? when people used to hide their personal life ..... personal feelings..... Log apnaa achha buraa doosron se chipaate the.....:)

While giving something to someone they use to hide from others..... while borrowing from someone, they would do every thing to hide from rest...... Aakhir izzat kaa sawaal hotaa tha.....:)

us zamaane ke log pyaar karte the, to chipaate the...... their Pyaar was never like aaj-kal waala Love.... joki hota nahi phir bhi hum dikhaate hain.......:(

There was a time when Dilip Kumar used to come on silver screen with his Band Galaa coat....... now its Salmaan's age, who can take off his shirt any time on the screen.... aakhir six-pack jo dikhaana hai.......:D

In fact we have changed a lot from then to now........

Bahut tarakki kar li hai humne........

Ab hum kuch chipaana nahi pasand karte........

Sirf dikhaana dikhaawa pasand karte hain........../wahaha

7- "TIME TO FOCUS NOW"

Frnds......

While going through the pages of a magazine, looking at the title I got stuck on one page… the title was “INDIA – A SUPER POWER COUNTRY” … and after reading about a paragraph, came to know that according to a report by Transparency India survey.. India is super power in corruption, in fact the 9^th most corrupt country in the world……and I could not go  into the article anymore…….. bcoz it hurts now….. yaa, really…….:(

"CORRUPTION  HURTS........IT  HURTS   PERSONALLY"

 "IT   HURTS   AS   A   NATION""

I was just thinking that even after becoming one of the most corrupt countries, why we are so comfortable with it....??? I realised that its just bcoz, whenever or wherever we talk about corruption, we simply point our finger towards others…. towards politicians, bureaucrats etc, and never even bother to think about our contribution towards the rising percentage of corruption.

I think we are equally responsible for this.. for example..when you pay a small amount to your Postman or your society watchman, you name this a TIP… but have you thought  that if you don’t pay this small amount what will happen...??? Well.. there are chances that u will find your important post missing...... or  your kids playing in the society will not be looked after well by the same watchman… So finally it’s a Bribe in the name of Tip….. isn’t it….??? This is how corruption starts….. it starts from our own doorstep….

There was a time when bribe were paid for getting wrong things done... But now bribe is being paid for getting right things done at right time... and we all are happy doing this....:(

Actually in this materialistic age, Life has become a business for us……but enough is enough… Time has come to do something…. To think about our future generation… What we are going to handover to our children……. A MORE CORRUPT SYSTEM….??? Think about it....... We must not give them the same corrupt system.

Well,  to give them a better system, we must focus now on a non-corrupt training at home by our own action… We must ensure that our children are brought up knowing  that Corruption is morally wrong and they will be punished if indulged in these activities…… they should understand that  making money is not bad, but the means for this should be correct….

The fact is that we are obsessed with making money  and Materialism is something like god for us….. This attitude is to be change… It has to change for the sake of our children… for the sake of their future…..and  for the sake of our Nation……!!!

6 - "RADIA FRIENDLY MEDIA"

NEERA RADIA......The Professional Lobbyist,  does not require any introduction.........

Born in Kenya, studied in England and married to Janak Radia, a London based businessman of Gujrati origin. She migrated to India in early 90s, and initially served in few Airline companies, thereafter started her own Public Relation Firm known as VAISHNAVI CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS........Whose clients among others include Ratan Tata's Tata Group, Mukesh  Ambani's Reliance Industries and Prannoy Roy's NDTV....

                                                             

In connection with Radia Tape issue CBI has announced that they have 8000 recordings of phone conversations, in which some prominent personalities can be heard talking with Neera Radia....in this list, apart from the political and corporate house personalities, there are also some pioneer of our Indian news channels and print media.

The Radia tape issue has shown us the actual face of  entire Indian electronic media.... As you know, our Indian news channels are very efficient in exposing scandals and making breaking news.....but on this issue, there was a complete blackout by prominent news channels, because there were some names involved in this, who are  so called pioneer of our Indian news channels.....they can be easily found  doing media trial of different stories.

On 7th May 2010 the first article on this issue was published on "BHADAS4MEDIA" (hindi web portal), thereafter in Nov.2010, "OPEN" (a magazine) carried a story which reported transcripts of some of the telephone conversation with senior journalists, politicians and corporate houses........... and then Karan Thapar's show "THE LAST WORD" (27th Nov.2010) on CNN-IBN, was the first show in main stream  Indian Television to address "Radia Tape & the involvement of Barkha Dutt & Mr. Singhvi in malpractices", ending the TV channels blackout of the story.

In fact this tape issue has shown us the nexus between information hungry journalists, professional lobbyists and Industrialists, and opened our eyes to what has been suspected, the ability of a small but powerful group of journalists to use their connections with politicians & corporate houses to influence Govt. policies.

Let us forget about Politicians and bureaucrats, they are known corrupt in our society and seldom talk about their own professional ethics.... But what about these prominent journalists working as power brokers...What happened to their professional ethics???...who were showing mirror to others....will they now try to see their own faces in the same mirror??? or once again will be able to convince us with their Language fluency and orating power???

5. "HISTORY AGAIN"

As the winter session of the Indian Parliament ended without  doing any business, a new history has been created by our Hon’le MPs…… Bcoz this is the first time in independence India that the whole session has been virtually washed out, only bcoz of the standoff between the union Govt. and opposition.

As you all know that winter session of parliament began on 9^th of Nov. and since then the whole opposition(united off course) forced adjournments everyday by trooping into the well and shouting slogans for their demand of formation of JPC to probe the 2G scam….. On the other hand the Govt. continuously rejected their demand due to one or other reason.

I will be glad if anyone one of you can explain me that what for these so called action committees are demanded or formed time and again, when  so many Govt agencies like CB, CVC, CAG, ENFORCEMENT, VIGILANCE etc. etc. are already there to investigate or curb the corruption???

Are all these agencies have become ineffective to perform their duty???  

Or  

Our great Neeti Nirdhaarak don’t want to give them free hand, so that they could work to their potential????

 I think the demand for  JPC or any other committee is only to be in the lime light of the cameras being clicked by the Breaking news Broadcasters….. On the other hand, formation of such Committees is only a method of buying time, so that after a few months ( few years in most cases) when heat of the media is over…..things will be buried into the dusty files….

Now frnds…. If we talk in terms of rupees ….. We may not forget that 2G Spectrum Allotment Scam may have caused a loss of about  Rs. 1.75 Lakh Crore to the nation….. but the unprecedented washout of the Winter session due to standoff between Govt. and opposition, resulted in further wastage of about  Rs. 146 Crore .

Now who is going to pay for this Rs 146 crore, which the nation lost due to our Hon’le MPs ???
Can a Parliamentary democracy work without a functioning parliament???

4."CHANGING SCENARIO"

Change is Life........

Change is Growth.......

Change is the Law of Nature......

In fact change is always good and refreshing, be it any form, Sometimes change may come gently and sometimes with a big bang, but no matter how it comes, in fact most of the time it leads us to a better place and bright future, so it should always be welcomed.

Now, you may be thinking, what change I am talking about ???

Well, I am talking about the change in the attitude of a common man of Bihar, to flourish their future and most important, to get back their self respect, which they lost somehow in the long run.

As you all know, about five years back, there use to be daylight abduction, robbery, kidnapping, loot. But now its a different Bihar, you will find people talking about Shiksha, Sadak, Swasthya, Samajik Suraksha.... Yaa... this is the change I was talking about.

The biggest change here is that the fear among the people has gone...Its the sense of security that has developed among a common man here... Especially in villages, where you will find girls riding bicycle to go to school and coming back home safely....And that is something revolutionary......

It all happened only because of good governance given by Nitish Kumar during his last tenure... Now a days  there is too much talk in the print as well as electronic media about the land slide victory of Nitish Kumar in the just completed election.... But in my view the present electoral victory by NDA is not a victory of any individual or any political group as a whole, but its the victory of hope.... 

The hope of a common man to see Bihar in the race of the developing states.....

But the million dollar question is that " How long this hope will be kept alive by the authorities???

This is something to be seen in the days to come............... till then

3 - "JHALAK 2010"

Helloo Frnds.....


Isse pahle ki TV channels aap pe "Good Bye 2010" or "Welcome 2011" ke programmes thopnaa shuru kar den..... Before your inbox gets flooded with new year wishes, I thought  this is the right time to talk something about  the year 2010, that has gone....


Frnds, as you know a countdown at the end of year is almost  mandatory , if u don't agree then just switch on your TV after about a week and you will be flooded with just about every thing.... Like top 5 Movies.... Top 5 sports person.... Top 5 boy frnds of Deepika Padukone.... Top 5 Girl Frnds of our own Dhoni, with whom he was found wandering before finally settled   with his school time frnd....etc...etc.....


So here I am with a few Pakaau moments and couple of nice moments......... 


1st..... THE UNREAL, REALITY SHOWS........

                                       
                    From "Big Boss 4" to "Emotional Atyaachaar", it has been a charchaa ka vishay for Indian TV world. In fact you all will agree that they all are far away from being real, but they are called REALITY SHOWS.....Pak gaya hun ye soch ker ki what is so great about a few people, who are not so kaamyaab in there respective career, living in one house, they fight, they abuse each other, they do voh subkuch, jo onscreen nahi karna chaahiye, and in response we poor Bharat ki Janta send million of sms to support their cause....:-(
                   Then comes Emotional Atyaachaar.... the on air jaasoosi being done on our own jeevan saathi.... can you tell me what is this all about??? Is it not the height of our bechaargi, that some how we are forced to watch all this.....


Is there any Lalitaa jee out here... jo bata sake ki isme hamaaari kaun si samjhdaari hai???


2nd.... UNSOCIALISING  SOCIAL  NETWORKING......

                         Facebook, Orkut etc..etc..so called social networking sites, giving us a virtual platform sites to share our Kabhi khushi-Kabhi gham moments, with someone whom we don't know at all... There are about hundreds of names in our frnds list, most of them are as unknown as some one passing by to you, while you walk down the road and never bother to know who he/she is ???...


Honestly speaking, even I am very active there on these sites but often think these activities are making us more unsocial day by day... Because we simply concentrate on increasing the density  of friends list and never actually think to develop a real friendship with any of them.....


So frnds lets try and hope to be really Social in the year 2011, than merely being present on these sites increasing virtual frnds day by day.....


3rd....BADNAAM  MUNNI.....
                                                Now this is really called Badnaam ho ke naam kamaanaa.........Frnds pak gayaa hun is gaane ko sun ker.... don't understand what is so great about it.... It only resembles me of a theater show dance of the famous Sonepur ka mela.....


Just pray to get over this type of songs in 2011.....


4th...KATRIN  KAIF......
                                    Oohhh.... am just being crazy about her... how fabulous she is... perfect look... perfect hair style...Not a bad actress too....in short  "ALL IS WELL" ......, through out the year, she was just every where, from TV commercials to movies....


My good wishes to SEXY SHIELA for 2011........:-)


5th..... SUSHAASHAN  BABU.........

    And fainally, last but not the least, our own Sushashan Babu....Just about a week back in a keenly fought election, Nitish Kumar lead NDA literally swept the Bihar...I think its for the first time that Bihar has voted for Good Governance and not for Caste or Religion, and the whole credit goes to Nitish Kumar. 


Let's hope that he continues his Sushashan attitude for next five years and give us some moment of pride as Bihari......(Insha Allah).


I am sure, you must be thinking about so many events took place during the year, such as 2G scam, Radia Tape issue etc..... But I think too much have been said about these by Electronic & Print media.... In fact main to pak gayaa hun inko sun ker.... shaayad aap bhi......:-)
   


                                "WISH    YOU    ALL    A    VERY    HAPPY     2011"




"yours irfan"

                                             
                                                                                                           

2 - "COMPROMISING ATTITUDE"

Frnds, Last month while travelling back to my home from Bhubaneshwar, I boarded my train at about 11.30 PM. Fortunately it was a lower birth for me( my favorite one ), and when I got  myself settled, there comes a lady, smiling at me and telling " Can you plz go to my upper birth?" 
No doubt her smile was good, but at that moment my lower birth was much more relaxing to me than her smile, so I turned down her request politely. After a few moment again she started telling " I am a lady, so can't you compromise for me plz ?" ........ and finally to make her comfortable, I had to compromise with my comfort.


Now frnds, purpose of narrating this story is to come to the subject i.e."Compromise".....
I just hate this word, bcoz this is what I have been doing through out life...... in fact not only me, as and when all of you do this In your life.


What you think ?... Forget about that, just listen to others thought, life will be smooth.


What You like ?... Just don't care about that, Compromise, Smile and tolerate, you will become a favorite.


What you want ?... Don't bother about that, make some compromises, you will sail smoothly in life.


Frnds, after a lot of compromises for the sake of life, relations, Love, respect etc.etc., I forgotten who I am ?


After making all these adjustments and compromises, I may be a nice guy in the eyes of family and friends, but in the long run, I feel, I lost myself. Because of my compromises I may be the favorite person, but that does not bring back the loss of my own personality.


Some times you may console yourself that because of the compromises or adjustments you made, in return you got a loving family or a satisfactory career , but over all you will find you lost the race.


You may say that, to win some you have to loose some. No doubt we all do compromises, and you must do, but only if it is necessary and not just for the sake of others satisfaction.


MAKING COMPROMISE.... Do you know what it means literally ?
Well, it means ENDANGERING THE  REPUTATION..... 
so never endanger the reputation while making compromises.

1 - "About ME.........:-)"

Helloo Frnds.....


 Before I start posting my blogs here, I thought it will be wise to write something about me..... but honestly speaking its far more difficult for me to write about myself than posting a blog of mine.......


Anyways.... to begin with, all I can is that , I am a guy whom you will find sometime very clear in his thoughts but someday I may look like a confused guy, just because I am a bit introspective of my surroundings......


Born in a small town of Bihar( much talked state for its demerits rather then merits )..... and i dont have any regret of being from Bihar....( frnds on Bihar I will write in details in my upcoming blogs ).. at the moment all I can say is that we BIHARIs are not that bad, as being made in media, and on individual basis we are not less to any person from any other part of country....


Though by profession I belong to Engineering field, people from this area are known as not that much associated with Saahitya and Culture  but apart from my profession i am a person who likes to read a lot during leisure times and writing is my passion... so I decided to write here on my blogs instead on papers......


When someone writes here, he or she generate opinions … or comments, and in some cases criticisms......., same way friends I am also looking ahead for your views and comments on my upcoming Blogs here........


Yours.... Irfanuddin
