#31: 70,00,000 crore and still counting on...!

First of all, sorry for not being frequent for your favorite contents. (my posts…! Ok that was (not) a PJ.) As I was busy for whole month of November in shoot of my fourth and upcoming flick Maanas. But I should not (why not?) use my popular blog site for marketing it. So will come directly (being a director) to the Point of Order.

It is true that India is a developing country; we are developing a bigger scam at the end of every week. Looking at the news channels, it seems we need more branches of CBI than of SBI across country. Jokes apart, yes, I’m talking about the 2G deal/ A. Raja/ Nira Radia tapes and lots more beneath it. The sea level information is what you all have from news channels and I’m not a freelance reporter or a hard core media person to give you what others are not aware of. Still, making an analysis to what has been disclosed (which is only the tip of an iceberg), the names which are not highlighted yet (And which are needed to be given importance) are: former Telecom Regulatory Authority of India chairman and former special secretary to the Power Ministry, Pradip Baijal, former finance secretary C. M. Vasudev, former Airports Authority of India chairman S. K. Narula and former Foreign Investment Board head Ajay Dua. Let’s see the unseen acts of past.

It didn’t seem clearly years back when Tata bagged the state-owned Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) Pradip Baijal was in charge. (Later one of the consultants of Nira Radia.) This leads Nira Radia’s connection to fix Tata Finance in 2001 when she paraded its disgraced boss, Dilip Pendse, to the media; getting the NDA government to allow Tata to sell 26 per cent stake of VSNL. Not only this but also at vanishing the DLF IPO; setting up NGOs to come to a standstill DLFs mall projects; unleashing a media war in the Ambani vs Ambani gas case; and getting media owners in West Bengal to sing praises of its chief minister and industries minister during the Singur embarrassment. I wondered (that time too but hadn’t got that) how both Tata and Reliance were allowed to convert wireless to full mobility (That was birth of CDMA technology which were extensively used for Defense force) when Baijal, again, was TRAI chairman.

Just making a rough estimate to some of the scams till date. (Which are again just a tip of the iceberg…!)

2G Spectrum: 1,78,000 crore
Ketan Parekh:      1500 crore
Telgi Stamps:          200 crore
Satyam:             12,000 crore
UTI:                    4,000 crore

Scams in the terms of money are to be referred on time scale. You can’t compare Hawala scam, Bofors scam or Oil for Food scams to IPL or commonwealth equally. Gradually since Independence, we have worked (very very) hard to top the Swiss accounts. And we did it. Roughly 70,00,000 crore… (Till I’m posting this. As it changes with day and nights in progressive mode) of money is overflowing at Swiss bank. Who says we are poor. We are still “Sone ki Chidiya” just that the “Chidiya” is available to only 0.05% of the population of India. This reminded me a dialogue from my next film Maanas (No offence for publicity): “The honour of the country is at stake. Mark my words. If we won’t be doing anything now, we’ll be facing civil war very soon.” Keep reading Random Strokes. Love – DJ.

#27: And its not Crusade v/s Jihad

Dove World Outreach Center… A small, 50 member non-denominational charismatic Christian church in Gainesville, Florida has become famous worldwide all of a sudden. Reason: Terry Jones, a man behind, who wish to celebrate "International Burn a Koran (Quran) Day", during which church members would hold book burnings of the Quran, on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks…! The oldest and simplest way to become famous is revealed once again in above act. It’s not when you feel comfortable, it’s to make others feel uncomfortable. It’s not an instant or insane action. It’s a planned, well organized strategy to get noticeable enough in the eyes of world. In 2009, Dove World posted a sign on its lawn which stated in large red letters "Islam is of the Devil" and now it is going to higher level with the event of burning Quran. Terry Jones has however said that he hopes the event does not lead to violence. (Then why the bloody hell you announced the senseless event.)...

#14: Dardura Special. Hail Darduras...!

Darduras are here... Darduras are there... These Darduras are everywhere...! First I need to explain what is Dardura? But the right question is who is Dardura? He/she is a kind of species of human being. You can say either is an alien that looks like human being. "Yatra dardura vaktarah, tatra maun hi shobhe chhe..." like of an ukti is there in Sanskrit. Which means when frogs are lecturing around you, better you keep silence. Hope now you have identified the Dardura as it's always there every next step of our life. The pity is you can't do anything with these Darduras. They are either your relatives or your elders or the ones you ought to respect. No wonder they have never been to Junagadh yet they'll advise you how to climb Mount Everest. They'll keep interfering your life untill you really feel there's no life in your life. You are angry. You wanna kill them. You wanna eat them. But these darduras are eternal creatures. Nainam chhindati shashtrani, ...

#21: Blank Pages

You can perhaps rewrite your destiny… but never on paper. (Unless you are using a pencil, but no one likes to write his/her destiny with pencil. All opt for darkest marker to make sure that their written can’t be erased.) So, when there’s something already written on your page, either you have to strikethrough it (Check-chak in Gujarati) which will waste and make your current and future writing both unreadable or just you have to go for… Blank Pages…! Hope you have got the point of order, coz I hate elaborate the matters that should have been sensed. Still with no other option (the truth is I have to make the article long enough for consideration) I am going ahead with the stated idea, coz you never know when An Idea may change your life. Life always runs in a single direction. There’s nothing like coming back. When you travel to point B from A, you never return to point A. You just actually travel once again from point B to A. In the above manner, after performing an act of writin...
