Guest Post........."Friends from Jupitor"

Hey Pallies,

If you landed on this page thinking that its Hemant..let me correct you that it's not. I am Sowmya and I am here to write a guest post for this cute blog of my friend.

 

FRIENDSHIP is like a flower blooming every day;
But there are some rare flowers which will be attractive with its nature.
Friendship is like a magical gift;
Where unknown personalities meet & understand each other;
It’s the feel of godliness!
Here we go with a poem about two true friends.........

Our friendship is a beauty;
With “good day wish” as duty;
Happiness is like lottery; But
Our hearts are just pottery!

Act positive towards prank;
Talk everything very frank;
Our rapport reaches rank;
With a pending tanks of thanks!

We are the reflection of our taste;
Treat nothing as waste;
Our faith is like a gum paste!

Here we always pray;
God to every spray;
Best blessing from his tray;
To awash all our grey!

Reason for naming the title so: 

Jupiter is a king of Gods according to “Rome. Myth”
It’s also called “God of rain”.
The personalities of those friends are very cool & to resemble their superiority of friendship!

तुझसे वफ़ा करता तो खुद से वफ़ा न कर पाता............

 

मुताफिक हु की कुछ गलतियाँ हुई हैं मुझसे,

 तू मुझे बेवफा कहे तो कोई हर्ज़ नहीं,
मगर तुझसे वफ़ा करता तो खुद से वफ़ा न कर पाता.
मानता हु की मैं गुनेहगार हु तेरा,
गर तुझसे वफ़ा करता तो गुनेहगार खुद का कहलाता.....

Innovation is back...Welcome to the blogging world....

Welcome to the blogging world,

From My Heart To Your Heart,

Just the way you like it,

A little sweet, tangy and very very spicy,

and a Blunt Blog,

Depicting all about various shades of life,

strung in simple words,

Those words touch your heart,

And emotions flow out without control,

sometimes reflective but always tongue-in-cheek,

A Peek into My Life & Times,

you will find, Stories from an idle mind!

And Thoughts that became posts,

I vouch u will like it the most,

Welcome to the blogging world....

Welcome to the blogging world....

The birth of this poem:  

I was going through different blogs one day when I observed that everyone uses a title to define one's blog. I found these titles so attractive that I decided to arrange them and give it a form of poem with a meaning. Thanks to all the bloggers, who have made it possible for me to come up with such piece.

Note:

Each line will take you to the blog from where it is picked. Please email me @ hemantarora44@gmail.com if any one of you have an objection for me picking up the line from your blog, so that I shall remove the same.

Thanks Again.....

With love,

Hemant

This Feeling.........

My friend came to me crying that he is single and he feels alone....etc..etc.

I told him...

"Being single sucks,But the feeling of being a free bird (I am not being so blunt to call it a khulla saand) compensates for the same"

@Readers: Would love to have your take on this :)


With love,
Hemant

Writing for a cause - Jan Lokpal Bill

Hi Readers,

Thank you so much for your love and I am obliged to have all of you as regular readers on this blog. This is your blog and you can always drop your suggestions at my email address "hemantarora44@gmail.com" and I promise (Not the Govt brand promise) to reply within 4 days. 

I wish if I could go ahead and sit with Anna for fasting, if my company would have given me few leaves. You got it...we are mango people and it's practically difficult for us to be on ground zero with Anna. This is my attempt to dedicate a post to this social cause and spread awareness about why Govt version of Lokpal Bill is not something which can help us curb the corruption.

A lot has been said and done about the Jan Lokpal bill which has been proposed eight times in the Parliament till now. We have never heard of this bill until Shri Anna Hazare raised his voice in support of a strong Jan Lokpal Bill. 

This is my attempt to make people (at least those who visit this blog) read about Govt version and civil society version of Lokpal Bill for their knowledge. There had been so many chain emails on Internet and we must accept the fact that most of the chain emails are not from the authenticated resources. Here are some extracts from various authenticated resources which can help you to understand why we should have a strong Jan Lokpal Bill.

What is Jan Lokpal:

The basic idea of the Lokpal is borrowed from the office of the ombudsman in other countries. It provides for filing complaints of corruption against the prime minister , other ministers and members of parliament with the ombudsman. Anyone, except for a public servant , can file a complaint and the Lokpal has to complete the inquiry within six months.

Myths about Civil Society Version of Jan Lokpal Bill:

Myth # 1: Draft is prepared by Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, and Arvind Kejriwal.

Reality: It is drafted by Justice Santosh Hegde (former Supreme Court Judge and former Lokayukta of Karnataka), Prashant Bhushan (Supreme Court Lawyer) and Arvind Kejriwal (RTI activist)

Myth # 2: Govt may go ahead and appoint corrupt people to run Lokpal!!!

Reality: That won't be possible because its members will be selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians, through a completely transparent and participatory process.

Why to support Jan Lokpall Bill and Anna Hazare!!!

1. Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore: Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.

2. The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction.

3. If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant.

4. It will be the duty of the Lokpal to provide protection to those who are being victimized for raising their voice against corruption.

Difference between Civil Society draft and Govt Draft of Lokpal Bill:

1. Tackling Corruption within Judiciary:

Government's Draft: A committee of three judges from samecourt will give permission for investigation against the accused judge. (How will judges from the same court give permission to investigate their colleague judge?)

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: A seven member bench of Lokpal will givepermission after an open hearing.

2. Tackling Corrupted MPs

Government's Draft: If a MP votes or puts up a question in parliament in return for a bribe, then he/she could be investigated by a committee of other MPs as is the present system.
(In the past 62 years, many instances of MP's taking bribe have surfaced but not even a single instance has been honestly investigated nor any MP sent to jail.)

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: The investigation would be done by an independent Lokpal. 

3. Tackling Corruption by PM

Government's Draft: If the PM is involved in corruption, then CBIwould investigate, not the Lokpal. (CBI directly comes under PM. How will CBIinvestigate its own boss?)

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: Lokpal,which is an independent body,would investigate PM.(If govt.'s doesn't want PM's corruption to beinvestigated, let them amend constitution upfrontrather than making a pretense of investigations by CBI.)

4. Selection of Lokpal:

Government's Draft: a. In a ten-member Selection Committee,six are politicians, of which five will befrom the ruling party. (This kind of system will increase the probabilitythat a corrupt persons and thosefavorable to ruling party are finallyselected.)
b. Selection process will be decided by Selection Committee.

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: a.Selection Committee would comprise of two politicians, four judges and head of two independent constitutional authorities.
b. The Search Committee would comprise of civil society members and retired constitutional authorities.
c. A detailed selection process has been described, which would be transparent and have people's participation

5. Accountability of Lokpal Members

Government's Draft: The members of Lokpal would be accountable to the government. Only government can file a petition in theSupreme Court for their removal.

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: The accountability of the Lokpal members would beto the public. Any citizen can file a petition in the Supreme Court for removal of a corrupt Lokpal member.

6. Whistler-blower's Protection:

Government's Draft: The CVC is responsible of protecting thewhistleblowers. However, the CVC neither has the capacity nor the legal powers required to protect whistleblowers.

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: It should be Lokpal's responsibility to protect the whistleblowers. The Lokpal has been given sufficient powers for the same. 

7. Punishment for Corruption:

Government's Draft: Maximum punishment for corruption is 10 years.

Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal: The maximum sentence is life imprisonment.Officers senior in rank would attract stiffer punishment.

The concept of Free World

Thanks to Sowmya for motivating me to write a post on this topic Free(With reference to independence day). I had been googling the whole day to prepare a background with no success. And finally I took a decision to write about the concept of a "Free World"........

Everyone seems to be talking about a free Nation, free State and free City etc. I have this imagination (you can also term it as my fantasy) of a "Free World", wherein an Indian can be a neighbor of a Pakistani national in a street of New Delhi. Did you just notice that I made a mistake in the last line!!! There's no Indian, Pakistani or Australian National and people will belong to only one nation called "World".

Imagine a world without war and no Visa or Green Card!!!

Imagine a world with no boundaries, one currency and one government!!!

What if the whole world starts executing "Free Trade". If it would have been so, there would be no poor country. There would not be any comparison because everyone will be using the same currency. One will have access to what one wants. The world will become small and beautiful. 

But the question is: "Are we ready to accept such world"!!!!

The answer is a definite "No" if we look at the current circumstances. The last depression gave birth to World War I and the next question arises: "Will next depression give birth to World War III?". Can we expect such an ideal situation in such circumstances!!!!

I know the concept of a "Free World" is a myth which is possible only in an ideal mature society. And then we have to look at what Gautama Buddha said: "When society(people) matures, there would be no need for the society (restrictions, boundaries and rules)."

Gautam Buddha said this in 555 BCE and after so many centuries, we are still far away from that ideal stage of mature society. The literacy rate is increasing day by day but did we ask a question if we are educated enough to reach that stage!!!!!!

Well, now if you have finished reading....do drop your thoughts on this before you click on 'cross' mark on right hand top corner of your computer screen. 

Note: These are my personal thoughts and do not represent any body or organization by any chance. Enjoy reading and drop your views. 

With love,

Hemant

When someone dedicates a pic to your blog...it must be posted with honour....

One of my friends, who likes taking random shots, dedicated this pic for this blog....she says that it matches my Blog's URL...

Thank You Smita...

मन की गति है कौन माप पाया!!!

गरजते हुए बादलो में धूप किसने है देखि!!!!
है किसी ने देखा क्या शोर मचाता सन्नाटा!!!
गर्मी की देहेकती हुई धूप की ठंडक किसको महसूस हुई है आजतक!
दर्द है इस मुस्कान के पीछे, क्या ये है कोई आज तक जान पाया!

है देखा क्या किसी ने सूरज को चाँद से रौशनी लेते हुए,
और जब चूहा दहारा..और शेर गिढ़गिराया!!
किसी ने शायद ही देखा होगा, की ट्रेन उर रही है हवा में!
और शोप्पेर्स स्टॉप की टपरी से पान हमने खाया!!!

देखा क्या किसी ने मछलियों को उड़ते हुए हवा में!!
और हाथी ने समंदर में अपना घर  बसाया!
क्या कभी सोचा है कि ऑफिस जाना पड़े सिर्फ छुटियों में!
और बाकि दिनों में घर पर, घूब रंग हो जमाना!!!!

जब अध्यापक कक्षा में दे रहे थे एक्साम!!!
तब स्टुडेंट्स ने डंडा घुमा के चक्कर लगाया!
घडी रुक सी गई थी अपनी जगह पर!!
और जानवरों ने अपना अलग से शहर बसाया!!!

ये मन की हैं बातें, ये मन कि है कोशिश!!
पहुचता वहां जहाँ कोई न पहुच पाया!!
ये मन ही ना जाने, ये है कोई मरीचिका!!
असंभव को संभव से परिचय कराया!! 

English version (Please do not read if you understand Hindi)

Who has seen sun in the dark foam clouds!!
Has anyone seen silence making the loudest noise ever!!
Who felt the coolness of the sun's heat!!!
No one has been able to spot the sorrows behind this smile!!

Has anyone seen sun borrowing light from moon!!
And the mouse was spotted roaring in front of lion!!
No one has seen train flying in the air!!
And we tasted the tastiest paan* on Shoppers Stop joint!!

Has any one seen fishes flying in the air!!
And elephant started staying under the water!!
Have you ever thought that u visit office only on holidays!!
And spend all other days at home enjoying yourself!!

When all the teachers were appearing for the exam!!
Students acted as proctor to prevent the teachers from cheating!!
The watch stayed where it was!!
and all the animals declared their own city!!

These are the things of the mind, the mind to try that!
It reaches where no one could ever reach!!
It itself does not know, as if it is mirage!!!
It has introduced the impossible with possible!!!

**Paan: Betel leaf with areca nut and slaked lime paste (famous in Indian/Pakistani and Southeast Asian tradition)

Also wanted to convey my "Thank You" to Sowmya for motivating me to translate this post in English so that everyone can get the feel....

ये रिश्ता बड़ा अजीब लगता है!!!

ये रिश्ता बड़ा अजीब लगता है,
क्यों प्यार का बंधन अब करीब लगता है, 

क्यों लगता है जब हम दोस्त थे,
वो दिन थे कितने अच्छे,
वो खट्टी मीठी बातें,
और वो ख्याल थे कितने सच्चे,
क्यों टूट सी गई है डोर,
और धागे हुए कच्चे,
फिर भी जब तुम होते हो पास,
वो एहसास बड़ा ही अज़ीज़ लगता है,

ये रिश्ता बड़ा अजीब लगता है,
क्यों प्यार का बंधन अब करीब लगता है,

I kept walking....

  The sun was departing from the sky,

I saw birds flying back to their homes;

I kept walking…. I kept walking….

People were leaving their offices,
with a hope to see their family soon,

I spotted on the west the full dull moon,

Clouds were turning into dark blue,

I felt the wind turning a bit chilly and cool.

I kept walking…. I kept walking….

Now the sun got completely, buried into the sky,

And I saw the dark foam like clouds at high;

The artificial lights filled the city in a row,

People were waiting outside the theater for the evening show;

I kept walking…. I kept walking….

Everyone was tooting horns on the traffic signal,

An auto just passed by me, playing Jagjit Singh 'Gajal';

Every corner of the road was filled with machines and people,

The wind grew stronger and moved my Jacket's Lapel;

I kept walking…. I kept walking….

The road to home was really full of excitements,

There were too many things happening around me,

but I was so silent;

The home was still two and half kilometer away 

when I took the right turn,

I assured myself not to worry as life is full of twists and turns.

I kept walking....I kept walking....

This poem was written in November 2009. I thought of giving this poem a new life, as this piece left ignored for a long time....

Thanks for reading me... and as usual.....your thoughts/critics/feedback are my paycheques :)

The idea of a perfect date......

Everyone has his/her own idea of perfect date. I never gave this a thought, until I went through this POST. And then I realized that I too can have some super romantic ideas of a perfect date. After commenting on the post I thought to give it a form of post on my blog as well. 

Here I go with my idea of perfect date....one of them requires you to step outside and another one shoes u a picture of few of homedates ;) 

--Sitting and watching her endlessly....

--Singing her a song......
--Cooking her favourite dish without letting her enter kitchen......
--Watching her while she is watching television....
--Looking into her eyes and trying to measure how deep   they are....
--Watching her sleeping....omg...she looks so awesome..
--Spending the night on the roof..under the natural dim-light of moon....stars above the head..
--Spending whole day at home and being available to each other mentally, physically and emotionally.....
--A candle light dinner at home....possibly at the rooftop...

--Sitting on the riverbank with my head on her lap......

--Watching the City Paris from Effile Tower.....
--Boating together with a view of sunset in the background.....
--Watching the sunrise together on a beach.....
--Do the titanic ACT on a cruise....
--Spending the night at a campfire with only the two of us around.....

So so so....if you have dropped by here and ended up reading the complete post...do mention your idea of perfect date......it will make this post far richer than what it is :)
 

Thanks for reading me....your comments are my paycheques....

The feeling of getting awarded...

Hey Pallies,

I am dedicating this post to one of the fellow bloggers who awarded my blog on her blog. Though I always prefer rewards, this award made me jump on my bed when I saw it.

Whenever I received an award in my office, It hardly mattered for me because awards are also planned these days. They award you tell them that you are going to resign in few days. You can try this technique. The award are effectively used to reduce the attrition rate. If you are not satisfied with your rating and planning to escalate the issue. I can bet the you are the best employee of the same month.

I always used to ask my boss to arrange a reward ceremony. Those Rs.500/- sodexo coupans look better than a trophee which does not make sense when everything is planned. Trophee is illusion, money is real.

Well, my award is listed under THIS link.

Thank you Beeni for awarding this blog.

Every award comes with some promice, so I promise that soon I will be back with below things posted on my blog:

1. 7 Random things about myself.

2. Answer of following questions:

a) Name my favorite song 
b) Name my favorite dessert
c) What is pissing me off
d) My favorite pet
e) My best feature is
f) Everyday attitude
g) What is perfection
h) Guilty pleasure

3. Award 15 blogs.

With loads of love,

In the attempt to find my love, I found myself...

Yes, I have just realized that there are so many things in this world which hold more significance in my life than love. I think my mom needs more attention than you and I must help my brother in accomplishing his dreams. May be, it would be more substantial to follow what my boss says, than attending your call every night. At least he is real and not an illusion like you. I also think that it would be more appropriate to spend time with my parents in post dinner discussion and help them deciding how the future would look like for the family.

May be, it was just attraction or a friendship caught on fire....but I am sure it was not love. After today, I may think that it was an earmark that you left and I also won't regret that I did let you walk away. Those tiny details may not catch my attention going forward. My world would still move, if I don't tell someone what I had in my dinner or which clothes I wore on a specific day. Telling my mom how my day was in the office would make her happier and may bring a smile on her face than discussing those flyspecks with you. Seeing that smile should be the most important task in my life, rather than bringing you tonnes of gift to see you happy.

We might not have meant for being together, and I think I would not be able to keep this 'friendship' alive anymore. We can never be friends, because may be I loved you more than anything in this world before today. Till yesterday, our paths varied but our goals were same. Today onwards our goals also vary and I know I will achieve mine without you.

Till yesterday, I was striving hard to find you but I think in the attempt to find my love, I found myself. I must thank you for making my life easier. I must also thank you for making me reach the stage of self-realization.

May be I would like to continue my life journey without you and may be i still know that I truly love you...

Stay far....Stay away.

Please don't call, I have changed my number.

You would not be able to see me online on gtalk, I have blocked your ID.

Don't try tracking me on facebook, my technical friends have helped me blocking you permanently from facebook, may be they could have helped me in doing the same with my heart.

No Regards...you don't deserve any.

Nitin

This is a letter drafted by me for one of my friends. I tried my best to translate his feelings into words. May he recover soon. 

Thanks for reading me....your comments are my paycheques.

When people reach the hights of cheapness....

This post is about the behavior of a special personality, I came across while my stay in Noida. You can learn how to use the facility of "Complementary breakfast" from this special personality....enjoy reading.....

Recently, I had a chance to stay in a hotel called Hotel Orange Pie" in Noida. I could term it as one of the best two star hotels in Noida city. That morning I observed this incident while having breakfast.

The hotel serves complimentary breakfast, and I saw one person sitting in hotel restaurant across the same table where I was having breakfast. The person was having Aloo Paratha, he applied 3 tea spoon butter on it. On the right side of the table I saw a full glass orange juice, a bowl of Fruit Jelly, and a bowl full of corn flex. On the left side of the plate, he kept a large cup of milk which was half filled (he had already consumed half of it while eating his first paratha). There were also 3 breads kept in a small plate with a minimum of 30 Gm butter on each slide.

While having Paratha, he complained about how bad the service is. He also complained about him being late because of such a slow service by hotel. He used the ideal time (when he was waiting for another paratha) in applying tonnes of butter on the bread toast and having it along with a little amount of jam. Now you must be knowing what the meaning of this 'a little' is for this special personality. Have you ever seen someone having fruit juice along with hot milk..I was also as astonished as you are after seeing this guy. On the top of that, that bread toast was also dipped into hot milk before tasting the tongue of this person. 

After finishing his first glass of Orange Juice, he ordered another one. Here we go with the conversation:

Foody: Waiter!!!!!!

Waiter: Yes Sir!!!! How can I help you!!!!!

Foody: Can you please get me a full glass of orange juice?

Waiter: Sir....I just wanted to inform that complimentary breakfast consists only one glass of juice. Shall I bring another one!!!!

I was waiting for this moment and here he found himself in this embarrassing moment.

Foody:  Wait for some time....let me finish my breakfast first. 

I saw him thinking something for few minutes....as if he is going to take  one of the most important decisions of his life. And the D moment came:

Foody (to waiter): Can you call the manager? 

Manager: Yes sir!! How was the breakfast!

Foody: I am going to shift to another hotel today. You guys can't an extra glass of juice and expecting a customer to pay Rs.3000/- for a day?

Manager tried his best to be as polite as possible, and handled the issue very diplomatically. He might have given this answer after understanding the mental condition of the guy he was dealing with.

Manager: Well, I would like to inform you that we serve only one glass of juice as a part of complementary breakfast and it's not the waiter's mistake. They have been instructed to inform the same to guests; however I will arrange an extra glass of juice for you without charging you any penny. Is that okay with you!!

Foody: Yes.....thank you. You guys are superb (he had this killing smile as if he has won a battle of his life)

Note: I was watching this entire episode while sitting across the table and sipping a cup of milk as slow as possible in order to watch the climax.

I always say this line: "The laughing recipe is available in plenty around you....you just need to observe and experience the same in your day-2-day life"

Thank you for reading me.....your comments are my paycheques :)

Review - Bade Achhe Lagte Hain - A daily soap on Sony TV

This one was quite unexpected...but my cousin (Mr. Sunjeev Arora) always provokes me to experiment. So I thought of writing a review on this family serial on Sony TV. I am not a fan of Sony or any other channel. I just watch TV as I don't have a choice. My mom follows all the Soaps on different channels and she can never affford to miss two serials, one  being "Bade Achhe Lagte hain"......

Unlike other daily soaps, this does not show the typical saas-bahu-dever-deverani conflict of upper class families. 'Bade Achhe Lagte hain' is a story of Ram Kapoor and Priya(Sakshi Tanwar). Both of them are in their middle age and have been busy with their professional life so much, that they have left their age behind. Both of them were happy with their individual life until they came to know that that their siblings are in love with each other. Situations lead to Ram and Priya getting hooked with each other by their families and the story takes an interesting turn. 

Though, some of the reviewers have claimed it to be a predictable serial, I still feel that the serial has got 'THE' factor in it. You would love the chemistry showed between this couple. Watch 'Bade Achhe Lagte Hain' for a different taste, enjoy the conversation and chemistry between this middle aged couple. Does not seem to be a typical BALAji serial.

Regardless of critics, its always audience who decides the fate of a film or serial. You may want to have a look at comments by different "Aam Janta" about this serial and you will get to know more:

Rating: 4/5

PS: One more reason behind my entire family watches this serial is that Ram Kapoor just looks like my Elder cousin. My cousin is also as sensitive, gol matol as Ram Kapoor with the same walking style :)

Ma'am!!!! you got the wrong hand here.....

It was a perfect Sunday dated July 3, 2011. It's been over a month I did not get chance to spend a Sunday at home. My mom wanted me to stay @ home for the whole day and my Brother wanted me to go for a movie with him. I decided to surrender and preferred staying @ home for the whole day. 

At the same time I also booked two tickets for Transformer 3 from bookmyshow.com. Every-time I use these things, I think our genre to be fortunate enough to have access to such an advance technology. The day went by with 100miles/hour speed without realization. I went to market with mom to buy vegetables. Also paid a visit to D-Mart in Kalyani Nagar to purchase Grocery items for home. Forgot to mention....that I had also been given a responsibility to clean one of our rooms and I finished cleaning before 12:00 PM.

The best thing is when we went to Fun & Shop Multiplex, Fatima Nagar in night. The showtime was 10:15 PM and we decided to kill our time by enjoying the greenery  inside the Multiplex. Now THE moment came...when a couple was walking right in front of me with hands in hands. I was walking alone as my brother had not yet reached the multiplex. Suddenly my devil mind started imagining some pictures. I saw girl's boyfriend letting his hands off and walking towards something (May be he wanted to attend one call..i don't remember). I overtook the girl and was dancing in my own music. A girl came from behind and started walking holding my hands in her hands. We might have walked couple of steps and than I said, "Ma'am!!!! you got the wrong hand here....." I purposely walked a few steps to reach a group of people and than uttered these words. 

Everyone around started laughing and this girl kept apologizing, which added some more flavor to her existing embarrassment. I looked around with a killing smile and headed my way towards Theater # 3. Transporter # 3 :)
