Should We Need To Change Our Opinion For Common Wealth Games?!!!

A lot has been written on Common Wealth Games which we hosting in our national capital city. All the bad mouthing , rebuke, sacrilege, and condemnation which we can throw on the Organizing Committee and other person related directly or indirectly to the games has been done. Wishes, or better say 'curses' had made by Mr. Mani Shankar Aiyyar not to meet the successful completion of this grand event; intellectuals, individuals have had same vocal opine too. I am, too, is a very vocal critique of this game from the very beginning as the issues of labor exploitation, lethargic approach of machinery towards such a sensitive and mega event which is supposed to reflect the status of our country as a Super Power & Growing Economy, plundering of national resources has never been done ever before by putting national grace on ransom- by deliberately delaying the construction and other work to make mammoth money in last.
Nexus of Contractors, politicians, bureaucrats, and negligence of monitoring & administrative agencies orchestrated this event to make it flop.
But i would like to mention here the words of our Sports Minister Mr. Gill that in the end we will make it like, as Indians, finally manage to host a successful Marriage.

How can we forget the negative publicity of our local, regional, and national print & electronic media has done? All FM channels exclusively broadcast bite to 'expose' the CWG preparation. International media left no stone unturned to condemn India's reputation. BUT IN SPITE OF IFS & BUTS IT WAS NECESSARY IN A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY LIKE US. And I personally admire my system to give real freedom to express our views, thoughts and opinion---uncensored!!!!

Kudos to the labors, volunteers and other literally low profile people who has made the OPENING CEREMONY so successful which has fetch the applauds -then and there for the India. International media has given all the positive reporting after watching the opening ceremony. I was really touched and impressed that finally India is reflecting its 'pink-image'. On the other hand the glow on the face of Suresh Kalmadi reflecting his confidence to meet the deadlines handsomely, contrast to it, the expression of other people in VVIP stand proving at what cost!!!

I am the staunch believer in the potential of India. And people of India has proved it again that physically, financially and technically we are strong and capable enough to achieve impossible herculean task. Message is clear if utilized properly our untrained people can built world class infrastructure. And if not done, in any case, we have our own jugaad to make that happen...........

Now what about the tax payer money, plundering of COMMON WEALTH loot, scamps, throwing the national resources to make (an island) Delhi as the TOKEN of India's development-that to partially, negligence of national & Delhi's political and administrative people, environmental damage to Delhi, not nurturing national sports talent, and list is long. Nepotism in the Organizing Committee by Suresh Kalmadi, giving tenders to favorite companies on the sky-rocketing prices needs some rewards too.
Simple Question like :-

  • Why the initial budget of few hundred crores reached to more than lakh crores?
  • Why if we get approval to host 19 CWG in 2003 we were not ready to host the game till September 2010?
  • Why our honorable PM and their ministerial team fail to show any interest in the CWG preparation until when it was not vehemently exposed by media?
  • Why there was not any timely audit,check or monotoring being done by CBI, CVC or other agency?
  • Why we have foolishly dig out all our national capital?
  • Who and why planned to throw all the beggars and laborers outside the Delhi? Aren't they the stakeholder of national development?
  • WHY WE ARE CELEBRATING THE LEGACY OF BRITISH IMPERIALISM EVEN WE HAD BEEN PLUNDERED BY THEM ALMOST FOR 200 YEARS?
  • Why we have enough money to feed the greed of shrewd individual & perfection to hide their heinous crime, but not a money to empower the poor people- on their education, health and shelter?

We Are Consistently Making Our Leading Presence on Human Development Index but from the bottom sharing rank with Somalia, Sudan and other least African developing contries.

Well point here is to notice is that we can achieve everything and I am quiet satisfied by the performance of our athletes as they have won 4 gold and several silver & bronze in various category.

Hope our athletes made us proud like the neglected hero of this CWG ceremony at the end. There is an urgent need to change our outlook towards our 'hidden' & 'take for granted' talent. Our policymaker should invest more enthusiastically than CWG to nurture the world-class people who tirelessly did their job to make this event happen. We need to change our opinion about our delaying approach..............oh no ....... its not in our blood but it is external and given right environment we can change the IMAGE. And what about Common Wealth........ just give damn condemn to it and look for the future which belongs to us. Yes, its true, if can do it.......we can do this toooooo!

यादॊ का झरॊखा



जानता हू
 


बचपन गुजर गया, मेरा बचपन                                   
                         वॊ शरारतॆ, वॊ प्यार, वॊ डाँट तॊ कभी-कभी मार
घर सॆ स्कूल स्कूल सॆ घर
चलता रहा साल दर साल  

मिला गर कदम कदम पर, तॊ छूटा भी कुछ कम नही 
मुसकुराहट रही चेहरे पर - मानॊ कॊई गम नही  
                               
                         गुजरे वॊ दिन मेरे बचपन के,  स्कूल के, कॅालेज के 
                      रह रह कर याद आते है
                         अंजाने  सॆ बॆगानॆ सॆ कैसे हम
अपनॆ बन जाते है 
                                                                                                    
स्कूल से घर, होस्टल से स्कूल का ये खेल अब खत्म हॊ जायेगा
यकीं करना जरा मुशकिल है मेरे लिऎ                              
                   कैसे इतना हँसी ये पल यादॊ मे सिमटकर रह  जायेगा!!

Do We Do Our Best

Titles allure us. Fame make us crazy. Craving all the time for success is fashion. But when its time to action we are blank, no where on the scene!!!

Cut short!!!!!

Today i along with Ujjawal shared a good movie that we can say a really of our taste and touched us deeply after 3 Idiots! Ya, you got it right My Name Is Khan, the most awaited movie and eventually became one of the most controversial movie because of certain other reason.

My Name Is Khan keep disturbing me till now and addressing number of questions,issues, and problems (in a simple way GOOD or BAD)which people around us has been making them complex day by day because to realize their vested interest. BUT OF WHAT COST!!

MNIK, was totally of Sharukh standard, which hardly disappoint his fans, viewers since he started his journey with BAAZIGAR and if you can go back to Circus and Fauji serial thats too good. A man who has traveled his journey from almost rags to riches in Bollywood on his sheer determination, hard work, and passion kept his promises to all his fans and viewers all across the world.

An actor, Saharukh Khan constantly delivering one blockbuster after another. But the movie i want to quote here is CHAK DE INDIA which move every Indian and instill a feeling of team work, passion to fight for the National pride and now MY NAME IS KHAN a movie which rolled out unparallel acting scene after scene was the evidence of being the BEST in his field. I do not want to praise Sharukh's contribution to stir the Nationalism and Humanism (tough he did) by his acting but simply wants to share HOW MANY OF US ARE EQUALLY BEST TO SHARUKH KHAN IN OUR RESPECTIVE FIELDS?

Maharashtra is not confine to Mumbai only but includes Vidharab and lot more than this. Itself Dharavi is the part of Financial capital of India. Maharashtra has its own perennial problem but do the Thackery family did their BEST to erradicate these serious problems of Maharstrians and ever aligned their development, well being to rest of India.

Big B, Aamir khan, Sachin Tendulkar, M. Ambani are truly the jewel of their field. Can we proclaim such attributes from our politicians, the so-called well-wishers.........why they fail to deliver their BEST even they have more power, more potential to make their acts at par with these people.

Why our teachers fail to meet standards of Rancho, why our journalist fails to meet the benchmark of Big B in RANN, why the human inside us fail to see people on the basis of their GOOD OR BAD VIRTUE? why we all are making life around us so complicated around us which demands only honesty, humbleness and respect for others? why we fail to think that we are human first and after a title holder. And Act our Best according to that.

Che Guevara, a role model of mine, went and fight for Cubian and later Bolivian despite being an Argentinian. SRK ala Khan, Rizvan Khan goes to help in the dire need to Mama Zenny in Willmania at the cost of his life even when the administration has almost neglect this place.

This is not only a filmy drama but more than that!!!!! When problems are of global nature haundering us we have to think in broad perspective and come up with new framework than parochial politics of Jehad and Marathi Manoos!!!

Let me quote one line "Duniya me Dau Tarah Ke Log Hote Hai Achhe Ya Bure " and on your best side you are first one at least in Acting field.


CAN WE SAY WE ARE READY TO REPAIR ALMOST ANYTHING!

I love my country, love my people and love this planet.

Way back into the Childhood



Very lucky we are to be here in Denmark, recently we visited H.C.Andersen house at Odense, world acclaimed Danish author and poet noted for his children stories. Experience was like travelling in our childhood days and cramping the poems, fascination about stories and fairy tails.

Hans Christian Andersen (April 2, 1805-August 4 1875) was known for having children delighted worldwide. How can one forget the story of "The Snow Queen" and "The Little Mermaid". Tourist across the world came here to see, feel and experience the legacy of Andersen and how Danes are preserving it.

H.C. Andersen, is pride of Denmark. Danes love to talk about himself and his works.

To attract the children and facilitate the visitors, House has a small lake, green garden, coffe house, amusement center and a shop.

So it's another good exposure to Danes cultural heritage.

Nice to be here with my group.

Trip to Odense Military Camp




Again it was the memorable date of September 18, 2009, we just completed our appointment and presentation at Fitness.dk. Now butterflies are running inside the stomach, by this time Military Commando Mr. Anders has joined us, average but tough looking man. Are we scared no not at all we were excited about our drill to military camp, lot of anecdotes Mr. Henrick has shared with us about the thrill to be here.

We went here and informed about the dos, donts, and some other general rules. Now we are in the hand of Mr. Anders, serving as a national security guard, but on personal request of our Prof. Henrick he was with us. Amazing!!

There were 18 hurdles which we have to complete first as general (demo), then in group as fast as you can and than individually.

Mr. Anders was amazing while swiftly and confidently doing every activity. And what about us, tired in first or demo round but without any break Group has made and put on the track with the spirit of to-win. One hitch four hand gerande was assigned us which we supposed to carry till the end of the hurdle-race.

Leadership and management lesson, make your strategy, planning,assign task, tactics, take care of less competent member of the team, cooperation & coordination........And we were in full zeal and enthusiasm looking to reach the winning post while completing all the hurdles as soon as possible.

It was quiet fun. After group activity, now it was turn for individual competency, stamina and die-hard-attitude. Till now almost all of us are screaming badly, we got cramp, bruise and wounds too. Legs were no more there to help us even standing. But we have to be on the track. Both the Gentleman were there to motivate us, focus to keep moving, don't about think on the body-look for the goal, destination! Narainder won this individual hurdle race. Hurray... kudos to N bhai.

We all were very happy. I am very thankful to Henrick Sir who brought this experience in my life.

Visit to Fitness.dk



September 18, 2009 one of the fully-packed, excited, and adventurous day of mine, since being here in Denmark. It was planned to go for Military Camp, H.C. Andersen house in Odense. We all were very excited and full of various imagination, scared too about the hurdle race supposed to be happen soon. Our Professor Henrick Baadasraard Jensen was all day along with us to facilitate all the appointments and activities. He along with his friend received us from Dense railway station.
From there we directly went for "Fitness.dk" one of the premium and leading fitness chain in Denmark doing good business while spreading the concept of Sustainability and health cautiousness. We also met with the Mayor of Odense at this meeting, enthusiastically helpful about health related issues and how government or responsible person in th politics can enhance and successfully support all these activities to make their people healthy and smiling simultaneously boosting the economy. When being asked why government is so interested in health or fitness centric issues though they seems to be individualistic? His simple, straight,intelligent, and responsible reply backed by statistics that Government indirectly saved 400 millions Kroner of if people will away from hospitals because of these "luxurious-problems" and second people are the responsibility of state and because of them we are in the system so its our official, and moral duty to do take care of them with a comprehensive approach. This answer not just impressed me but touch my heart and i was just left with aha!!!!! feeling.

Fitness.dk is a equipped with state-of-art infrastructure, running by dedicated professional and making good profit with there different operating strategy for their customer.

Whats makes this trip so special?!

Idea to do things differently, systematiclly and always come with strong research to venture into new business. Prepare a base and demand for your business or try to find out if it is there too.

For India it's a emerging concept limited to high-end customer only, as a life style stereotypes. Just imagine about the craze of Quasi-gym among youngster in India, their passion to build biceps and so on. How could one neglect this huge potential market ?

LEGOLand: A new experience



Yesterday it was another new experience while staying at Kolding in Denmark. Earlier we had been several beautiful places scattered around us. We planned to go to Billund, place where LegoLand is built in Denmark. We were quiet enthusiastic about the experience to be happened shortly.
A little about LegoLand Legoland is a chain of Lego theme parks, as on the concept of Disney:There are four Lego park in different parts of world Legoland Billund in Denmark, the oldest one, Legoland Windsor, in England, Legoland Deutschland , Germany, Legoland California, USA.
Lego is the leading toy manufacturing company, having core competency in Special Interlocking Bricks to assemble the toys.Lego bricks can be assemble and connect in many ways, to construct such objects as vehicles, buildings, and even working robots. Anything constructed can then be taken apart again, and the pieces used to make other objects.
Direct to LegoLand:- What makes LegoLand so special comparatively to other amusement park. Legoland comprises of various parks and these parks are split into various areas, for example all the parks include a Lego miniland, a model village which includes models of landmarks and scenes from around the world made from millions of genuine Lego bricks. Other common features include a Lego Mindstorms centre (fun-based learning), Duplo Gardens (for smaller children), Driving area (including attractions such as Driving school, Boating school, Ballooning school and Fire Academy), My Town, Wild Woods and Knight's Kingdom.All the models of World famous buildin like Kennedy Space center, NASA headquarter, WhiteHouse, Airbus-380, Airport, Theme-based-Robots placed almost everywhere kept you engaged; and all these are designed in special Lego Interlocking Bricks. Adventure in LEGOTOP to see the panoramic view from the hieght of more than 93 mtrs was just amazing. The experience in CATERPILLERR was memorable one, LegoSafari was full of fun,other fun included MONORAIL, MINIBOATS are worth to share.One of the most impressive thing was the models of DONG Energy, Windmills and Solar Energy is like prime theme, Kennedy Space Center, NASA Headquarter, The Viking Age, Historical Castles, Monuments and Palaces....... are enough to give stuff to visitors to walk in glorious past and think about present achivements. Parents describing about each thing to their children was nice to see.
It's a simple to show them history and introducing the present achievement in a fun-centric approach.ROBOTIC Centre and Play zone is like heaven for children trying there hand on creativity and imagination by assembling the Interlocking Bricks. Buid to Make children Creative for Sustainable Creative Future.!
Apart from fun, thrill, adventure, amusing experience; Legoland gives the food for thought how to create curiosity in the children as well as elders, to create more effecient and constructive thing to make life better in a Hatke Manner- Out-of-box-thinking. How simple interlocking-brick comes alive, makes Legoland a must to visit place- embedded with lots of other activities and experince to attract & meet the expectations of visitors coming across the world.
