Well,I will be frank...!!!When I came to Mumbai from Bangalore this weekend to celebrate deepawali with parents,I expected that this city which is one of the most rocking cities of India(please keep Raj thackarey out of your minds) will not be celebrating diwali with the usual pomp and show.Cmon...how can it??How can the financial capital of India celebrate when the Rupee is tumbling down,when sensex is dropping every day like team australia's form,when pink slips are the order of the day..??And add to the fact that a guy from patna was recently killed in an encounter when he decided to hop on to BEST bus no 332 with a revolver to kill raj thackaray.(well this will be discussed later).
But I was proved wrong.Mumbai celebrated and I would tell the truth that this has been one of the most fantaboulous diwali's of my life.The grandiose way in which the streets were lighted and people bursted crackers,i wondered whether there was any news of sensex regaining points.
But true to it's spirit..aamchi mumbai just rocked.Arre..kal ki kal sochenge..aaj diwali hain..patakhe phodenge...!!
I had decided not to burst crackers and would limit myself to only 3 gulab jamoons today.Someone with brains has aptly remarked"Never make resolutions which you can't fulfill."
The limit of 3 gulabjamoons had to be extended to 13 and I lighted few rockets and bombs.
Guess you just can't stay away from this festival.
Coming back to Mr. Rahul Raj Singh,who had come to mumbai to get a job maybe but was highly inspired by the movie Wednesday.But while there Naseeruddin Shah was supported with ample technology and planning,this guy decided a revolver would be enuf.Although I strongly oppose the fact that he was killed,am equally surprised at the guy's behaviour.I guess frustration has it's limits.
Anyways,this diwali was a tiring one..(eating 13 gulab jamoons is no mean feat)..so feeling sleepy.
Gud nite..Mumbai..oops I forgot..this city never sleeps..!!

Some people have all the free time in this world
* Harbhajan Singh and Mona get court notices for playing Ravana and Sita in a reality dance show.How the hell can they do so..??Aren't they Sikhs??So they have to pay.Someone probably sipping a cup of coffee in his palatial bunglow, made out of black money, decided that it has been a while since he had been in limelight so he decided to take them to court.
* MNS chief Raj Thackarey wants all north Indians out of Maharashtra.So he now gets the support of die hard marathi fanatics who believe Maharashtra's their land and belongs to no one else.Indian Constitution's article to live freely anywhere in India and earn a living for every Indian can go for a ride.So while he gets arrested these so called protectors of maharashtrian culture start burning their own homeland and killling innocent people.
* Mamta Bannerjee tries hard to become the Chief Minister.When she fails,she now wants to stay in the lime light or else "yeh junta hain Bhai...inki memory bahut kharab hoti hain".So she takes the cause of poor farmers in Singur."Give us land or else we won't allow you to run your nano factory.So helpless Ratan Tata says tata to W.B and Gujarat takes over.That's a different story that soon after Tata went,there was a strike saying that this was Tata's strategy.They never wanted a plant in Bengal.Wow after investing 1500 Crore he never wanted a plant in Bengal.Good one..
There are several more instances of media hungry people trying desperately to do something or the other to get a piece of print and the television media.We won't allow this or that,coz people's sentiments have been hurt.Who Goddamn are they to decide when our sentiments are hurt is a question better left unanswered?Sania should stop wearing such clothes coz Islam doesn't allow this.I guess a Burqa clad sania would look quite funny facing her competitor.
That's one side of India for you.That's the masala one eagerly awaits for in the daily newspapers.
Now does this irritate you??And if it does who's to blame?Now before we all start taking sides and start pointing fingers at the media stating that they do nothing except making catchy headlines,let us all be little realistic.So you can't clap with one hand and neither can I sir,so while you point fingers at media,politicians etc,mind you 3 fingers are towards you...(or shall I say us the so called aam aadmi..!!)
Now let's start the debate??What can we do,except reading the morning newspapers with some hot tea and marie biscuits and then hopelessly commenting that nothing's going the way it should be..??
Now let me take you to recent past..Jessica Lall case!!Remember how so called Manu Sharma who was earlier freed from the clutches of the law was later taken back just because we,the aam aadmi decided to start a nation wide campaign.There are more but then this post is becoming unnecesarily long.All I want to state is that ,these RajThackeray's and Mamta Banerjee's are into the limelight because of us.We have put them there.So why not take few corrrective steps..??
It's time for India to unite.Is someone listening??Let's get our asses moving..
