TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER.....A MONTH AFTER

A month has since passed to the beginning of the eternal journey of my father, who left this world for heavens on 27Th May 2009. Both of our parents left us within a span of 7 months and perhaps that was the reason for our deepest anguish and sorrow.

I have no right words to begin a tribute to my father. His departure to heavens is not easy for all of us to digest and forget. Whenever I visit my dad's house, I feel, there he would come out of his room, just buttoning his shirt, and would ask, when did you come, my son ?

I still wish, that mobile would ring and "Papaji Calling..." appears on the mobile screen. I am dying for such a call to come at least once...I still wish that he sits by my side in my car and keep telling me to drive slowly and safely, as reaching home was more important than how you fared on the highways.

I had for several days kept praying God to send him back to me for the last time, so that at least I could have asked his last wish. For few days after his demise, I continuously went to his bed wishing foolishly that from somewhere he would appear and talk to me.

While preparing for his last journey, I, after fixing up his body tightly on the death-bed, looked towards heaven for his approval, thinking I might see him somewhere up in the sky and get his approval for what I was doing to his soulless body. But the stark reality had fallen on me, that he was never ever going to complain, if he was being hurt nor he would ever answer my any calls for help or advice on any day through out my life. This time he had gone for forever.

I find myself the most unlucky son, as on both the occasion of when my mother and then my father left for eternal journey, I was not present to at least ask them, what was their last wish. The realization that he was gone forever was very difficult to accept and there were occasions when I cried, when as a young child, I cried for some toys to be purchased in the market or fair and was insisting on something, I always wanted. Dad would fulfill my that wish by buying me that toy or thing and then I would stop crying, happily wondering about the new toy. But this time it was the him, who always consoled me, had gone forever.

Stark reality was slowing dawning on me that I needed to control my berserk emotions, which I tried initially, but all in vain. I realized that what I was willing and asking for, was not possible and had never ever happened to anybody.

On the morning of 27Th May 2009, I was just helping out my wife as we were planning a renovation of our kitchen. The final touches were being given for the new temporary shifting of kitchen, since we were expecting the work to begin on the same day. I was about t to fix up the gas connection, my phone rang, brother was on the phone, he just said that the Papa was unconscious and wanted me to reach urgently. It took me another ten minutes, to reach his place about 6 Km. away from my house. During the drive I was preparing myself for his hospitalization and feared deep inside for a paralytic attack sort of thing, since he suffered from high B.P.

On reaching home, we decided to take him to hospital. While taking him out I thought that he might be listening to what we were talking. His face had a determination to fight, perhaps the fight with the death, in which he perhaps knew he would be defeated. He must have had continued with that fight for self respect till his last breath. Perhaps he was a better fighter than I actually knew him to be.

As papa and Dilipbhai, my cousin sat on the back seat while I drove the car along with Dr.Gopal, our neighbor, took him to a local hospital. While wife and brother came by another car. We waited outside the hospital gate while cousin and Dr.Gopal went inside for the doctors present at the hospital to come and examine him.

By this time around I had started to feel that something was wrong. As I was recollecting the events, when we left for the hospital. Dr.Gopal who initially wanted to go to Godrej Hospital, but later changed to local one, known to him. His sudden change of decision, though, was in consultation with my cosine, Dilipbhai, wherein I was not present. But our Mother was taken to the same hospital when she had expired, for second opinion on her death. Those were the most anxious moment of my life. I feared the worst, but still his death...... never ever came to my mind.

While his face never looked like that of a person who was no more., I could feel his body heat. (This happened since he had just died.) So I was preparing myself for much longer war for his recovery and hence contemplating that he might be shifted to even bigger hospital than Godrej, after giving him some first aid sort of treatment in this local hospital.

I still remember the words as said by the another doctor at the hospital, "he is no more...."

Those words shook my whole world. I felt like falling from top of the mountain into a deep dark cliff, where the end was not in sight.

So far I had liked to be one of the spoiled and irresponsible chap. I had habit of hiding behind my father whenever there was something which required my physical presence or my personal decisions. I left everything to Papa. He called me several times, in last few days, when he was preparing his final WILL. But I evaded his attempts to reach me on such subjects. As I kept on yelling at him that it was not the right time to even prepare the WILL, and he will live for long with us.

His words are hunting me and hunting me hard, now. He told me once, when mother was in hospital in very serious condition and doctors had unsuccessfully tried their best, that he was feeling that he would die soon, and he can not live without our mother, which I never took seriously. Actually I had never ever imagined a life, forget even my existence without him. I never ever thought about myself to be in a situation like this, if he was not to be there to guide me and protect me. Later on, thinking about him, I realized that never for a second I had imagined that I have to live one day without him. That feeling is killing me, even now.

The feeling which I harbored now are very peculiar. Being elder in the family, now I am going to be looked upon for guidance and all family related relations and responsibility, which I am not used to, because I never took Papa seriously when he tried to tell and teach me few things. Now I fear that I would surely bungle in performing my duties.

I envy him as he attained worldly freedom and I was completely shackled into chains of worldly responsibilities. I feel being ditched by him and if allowed to meet him once in my life time, I will lodge a very strong protest for the same. Actually not only me, but all who knew him were taken aback on hearing about his demise. He looked absolutely healthy and fine and had no known illness, except the blood pressure.

His profound insistence that he never liked somebody troubled because of him, stayed with him till his last breath. He did not allow any of us even a chance to look after him, take care and do little nursing for him.

It was his nature of never to trouble anyone at anytime let alone me or my brother. He was a person who was worried for everyone, to whom he knew. At times he would come to my house in the late evening at around 9.00 p.m. and leave at 10.00 p.m. as he would insist that I do not change my routine of getting up early in the morning, besides the one liner which was his favourite, " I am free." He was just always willing to help each and everybody let alone the family.

He always refused, whenever I offered him to drop him at Vikhroli home, from my home. Saying that he did not like me to drop him,as I might have had tired. besides he would insist that..." I am Free!"

He took all the responsibility for looking after mother, even when she was in hospital for quite some time. He saw that none of us exhausted and was always there to sooth our anxiety, tiredness. He maintained all sort of communications with doctors, nurses and even the ward boys.

What my father always insisted on the humanity and humility. He never believed in going to temple or STHANAK and perform rituals. He always said that the God wants us to show humanity and we just need to be humans. I have very few remembrances where he would insist on performing rituals. This was soul of the highest standards. There can not be any place except the heaven, for such s soul. And he always deserved that.

It was a thing or two to be leaned from him. he made himself so humble and full of humility that
He had retired as Chief Officer with MHADA, Nashik, an authority under Government of Maharashtra, India. He joined MHADA as junior civil engineer, just two years before my birth. He steered to such a highest post in nashik divsion, with his honesty, humanity and humility. He was simple down to earth man. He perhaps never made money, but with peace and respect he died, was his reward for the character he lived his life.

With the passage of time we tend to feel reduction in pain in our heart. Sometime you have to divert your mind and emotions to look after those behind, whose well being becomes your responsibility. Its the practice of this world, we perhaps shall never forget our loved ones but with the time our heart stops crying and accepts the reality. We slowly start to re-collect ourselves and ponder over the entire issues at hand. Our priorities change slowly and we willingly or unwillingly go back to our routine.


(I had been really very much upset over his death and I did commit few mistakes while and during the trouble which I faced emotionally after his demise. The foremost was I could not inform many of my friends and few of our relatives about the same, as I was not in position to inform everyone, since it was done by other family members. I did call them up after the prayers were over on Thursday. Some of them accepted what I told them. Few of them found it offending and difficult to digest and stayed away citing reasons they deemed right. But then there is absolutely no issues with anybody.)

PAPA, I KNEW...A YEAR AFTER...!!

27Th May 2009 was the day on which an era came to end. My father, who had been fit and fine with no known illness, breathed his last at around 7:35 AM. on that fateful Wednesday morning. It was an end of a wonderful and loving person, to whom I knew. Being the elder son I had the privilege to live more with him as a child, youngster and as father.

He was primarily employed with MHADA as civil engineer. When he finished his engineering, he was called by MHADA and he joinedin 1964. He started his career in a city called Aurangabad, in Maharashtra State. Later he was transferred to Nashik. Where we lived for the next 11 years. Though I was born in Bhuj, Kutch, but came to Nashik, when I was just 7 months old. we lived there for 11 years, covering almost enitire period of my childhood there.

We lived in a building of 2 story, built by MHADA. Those were the days when the people were free and had very little or almost no stressful life. It was absolutely peaceful life. The life in Nashik was the same as that of any place in Kutch, Gujarat, in those days. Perhaps that was the reason for him to settle in Nashik. Home and office were hardly 3 minutes walk. Office used to start at around 10:30 AM and all used to leave by 5:30 PM. No travelling hiccups and no time consumption.

In the evening people would walk down to the city bazaar, known as Main Road Bazaar, from the colony, where we lived. Papa had a cycle. We both used to go to the town together in the evening. He had one condition, that I must finish my studies to go with him to the town. Infact there used to be very little or almost no homework in those days. So he would insist that I should anwer all the maths tables, he would ask. Usually I did go out with him.

I remember his obsession with Maths. He loved Maths and would insist that I also do the same. But I was not that good in Maths and that irritated him, which resulted sometimes in good Methipaks (beatings). But he loved me and it was his love that irritade
In those days T.V. and such gadgets were not part of the life. We just had luxery of a Murphy transistor radio. We had no owned house as yet at that time. Actaully he never bothered to own a house. Such were the days that in those days people would go for a house in rare cases. People, perhaps, as like my father, had no extra money in those days. I remember he used to borrow money from one of our family friend, known to me as Ramji Kaka(Uncle). He used to send some of the money from his salary to back home to my uncle's home in Madavi, Kutch, who was his elder brother and had died when I was just 9 months old.


People would go to the banks of river Godavery, when they would feel that they are free. I can not forget the cool breeze at the river bank. Godavari river is believed to be one of the most auspecious river after Ganges, and hence Nashik had its importance differently from religious point of view. Papa, Mom and myself would go to river bank and sit there. Then go for an eatary, where I would eat Bhel. I remember the Bhelwalla who prepared a sweet Bhel for me, called Nanna Farishta Bhel.

Dad was very strict in his principles. (Once I had asked him, does he feel let down, when he saw other of his collegues, who were making money?, he asnwered that they might have had bunglows and properties, but he had a sound sleep of million rupees !) In those days I felt dad was little more linient with the people, from whom he could extract money or more precisely, can take bribe. I remember One known to me as Khara Uncle. He was a small time government contractor, and very lion hearted man, lived in Pune, Maharashtra, Dad had a very good relations with him, he would come once in a year to Dad's office as we was contracted to look for monsson treatment ofr building terrace, under control of MHADA.

He used to ask Dad to buy a television set. Which Dad always deferred. Actaully he was short of funds. Uncle would suggest that he wanted to send the T.V. set consting Rs.5,500/= in 1980, to our house, but Dad always thought otherwise. At last Uncle won and a t.v. set came to our house. But then he told us that he would need to pay those money back to uncle and for that he would not celebrate one diwali with new clothes. He did keep his word.

Later on he realized that there were few neccessities, which needed to be fulfilled. So while buying a refrigerator, we started a savings account with V.G.Paneerdas & Sons a consumer durable dealer in those yester years. In which we paid a fixed sum. After few months or even years, we accumulated good amount of money with V.G.P. and then we purchased our first refrigerator. He felt ashamed of buying things on installments.

He was very much interested in reading news papers. He had one routine, visit a local public library everyday, read different newspapers. Newspapers were not purchased everyday in those days, the way now we do it. It used to be a luxury of sort to buy the newspapers. I was so obsessed with the idea of going together with him that I aways overlooked the my plight in the library as I had to sit like a duck for almost an hour or two and wait for him to finish reading newspapers.

It used to be a hell of an experience for me, as I used to sit on a bench, while he would go from one reading desk to another. (It used to be a desk, where you could read the newspaper, standing.) Very lately I got an idea. To read some children's magazines for myself. But that used to happen seldomly, as those magazines were published monthly and I used to accompany him almost daily. So once I finished reading those magazines, at the most within 3 days again the same wait used to begin. But then I still insisted on going out with him as I loved to ride with him on the bicycle. I will never forget the joy of riding on that bicycle with Papa.

We had a good family friend, Ramjikaka. Papa had been very close to him. They both used to meet each other almost on daily basis. he one day advised Papa to enroll me for nursery. There was the only Gujarati Nursery in those days.

I was so obsessed with him that I was not wiling to go to nursery and even the school. I still to
this date remember the first day of the nursery, when he left me with the teacher, Ms. Jayashree, and I cried for long. I saw him leaving me in the nursery from the first floor balcony, he was smiling and left on the bicycle. I cried and cried for long, then Ms. Jayashree took me to the hall where there were more than 50 other children, playing. That made me forget him for a while and I was happy to see him again after 3 hours, he picked me up and took me home. Later on to make me interested in going to nursery he enrolled me for a school bus. I still remember, I used to snooze inside the bus and for twice or may be thrice, I fell down inside the bus when the breaks applied. Father would console me when I used to get down from the bus.

Papa would wait in the afternoon heat to receive me at the MHADA colony, when I returned from nursery. Since Mom was very strict, Papa did a soothing job. So I was always very happy to see him collect me at the bus stop. I had the habit of hiding behind him, initially from mother and then from the world of relations and social responsibilities, till he left for eternity. With his presence I never felt responsible. I was proudy and so confident about him, that I never imagined that I have to live without him one day and then forever. I took pride in having a complete family with mother father, brother, wife, son and daughter.

MY FATHER 27th February 1939 to 27th May 2009

In the Morning at around 7:35 A.M. of 27th May 2009, he breathed for the last time. It was an end of a wonderful person and the most loved father. With his demise a loss of a wonderful person is being felt by the family and friend circle.

He left us within a span of 7 months and 7 days precisely from our mother passed away after long illness. He never accepted her demise and never tried to forget her. It was a love we envy, with each other.

Mother's illness increased gradually after she fell in 2003, while visiting a religious place in Kutch. His focus changed. He was so bussy looking after her for the next 5 years, that being her children, we had little role to play in lookig after our ill mother. He took up all the responsibility for looking after her. Some time our mother would complain, that he was acting little strict for her diet. She lived that long because of him only. She was really very lucky to have him as her husband.

But with the death of our mother, he broke down completely. His focus and mission for life had vanished. He was free in this whole world, which must have sun his head and must have felt absolutely lonely. He was too close to our mother, to have forgot her.

He was highly disturbed when our mother had expired on 20th October 2008. And he never came out of the shock. Actually he never tried honestly to come out of the shock. We tried to convince him by different means and different explanation, to which he had only one method, evade our attempt to make him forget our mother. It was a unique case, as per my friend and neighbour, Shailesh Shah, who termed it as AMAR PREM, between my mother and father. According to him, very rarely you come accross such couple, who have great commitment for each other. Very rarely people keep their promise to live and die togather, like this.

One of my other friend where he lived in Vikhroli, had seen his tearful eyes several time., when strolled with his youngest grandchild. It was a situation not very well understood wherein he never wanted to forget my mother. He must have been asking question as to why she had left him alone in this world? He must have had been in deep bout of depression due to this, but never let us even feel that way. He missed her all the time and he must have been praying God for that. It was a really tough time for us to handle his emotions.

Actually we were perhaps the most ill-equipped to understand his emotions and counter his thoughts. But his thoughts were never disclosed to anybody. Had that been done, we could have been better be able to understand what he wanted or he thought.

Truly, his love for my mother was an exception. Though we were shocked and sad, when our mother expired, the proportion was much less because we knew about her impending death, as doctors had told us that she would not make more than two months. We tried to console father at that time and we tried to reduce his sorrow. Though he agreed with us about what we said, but he was not willing to accept the reality, the death of my mother.

Actully under pressure from family and their feelings, he did tried to divert his feelings. He had been to Bhuj for quite some time. He stayed there with one of my cousine, Deepakbhai, who was alone for some time. Both were of close to same age and they shared great time together. When he came back to Mumbai, he joined a social group where he would visit few program mes monthly. At the same time he had started to visit STHANAK on daily basis. He would go for a walk in the morning, where he befriend few people of his age.

Perhaps he tried his best to forget our mother but the time was too short. He perhaps needed few more months to neutralize feelings for mother. But meanwhile the depression and loneliness took over him. And he left for eternity on 27th May 2009.

But our logic was not as strong as his love for our mother.

PEOPLE'S VICTORY

The 15th Lok Sabha, the Indian parliament has been formed and the people have really shown that they know what they are doing and they have the in depth knowledge of the events that happen in the country and they are capable of handling the issues concerning to their country.

The elections this time around had hardly any issues. The polarization of votes on any particular issue was missing this time around. The political parties did tried to create few out of the past skeletons, but as the name suggest they had died of their natural death. Bofors, for example, has no relevance now, except the people have accepted that the corruption will always remain. Masses understand that there is no use of rattling up old and irrelevant issues. Instead the people who are working needs to be supported.

Congress was one of the parties of the UPA. It was blackmailed by the CPM for almost four years. Six months back it withdrew support to the Manmohan Singh government. The Political experts, pundits, astrologers, were all wrong and Indian voters have shown tremendous maturity.

Indira Gandhi had tried to see that no leader other than her should get developed in INC and that was the case till she will killed. Rajiv Gandhi was elected to Parliament with thumping 83% seats after Indira was assassinated by her Sikh body guards. It was more difficult time for Congress once Rajiv Gandhi was removed from the Indian political scene.

These 18 years, congress as well as Indian masses developed into one of the more matured entity. The leadership flourished. The benefits of such positive change got its result in Manmohan Singh government got elected twice. remember, it was declared before the elections were held and even a single vote was cast, that the next PM would be Manmohan Singh.

Democratic slap on the face of Lalu Prasad Yadavs, Mulayams, Paswans, Mayavatis, Jaylalithas, Gowadas, will be too much for these petty leaders to absorb. It is not their capacity to come clean and win again. They will not accept their defeats, instead as Mayavati did in Utter Pradesh, by removing officials from their party posts, for debacle in general polls. Who will tell that be-little woman, that those officials worked under her direct supervision. It was she who was responsible and not the officials who followed her command in toto.

Lalu Prasad, mulayam & Paswan thought, they together will bargain from Congress and make the Congres leaders to beg for their support. Nothing of that sort happened, instead NOW they are begging Congress along with their support. People have taught these so called KING MAKERS, a lesson of their life. If they are clever enough, they will leave politics for some better and educated people.

People have undoubtedly voted for the development. They want those leaders who work and region is developed.

Hats off to Indian masses, who have voted and shown immense maturity.

END OF THE WORLD...APPROACHING ! !

The world in which we live is believed to be closing in for one of the close shave with its destiny. The life on this earth will need utter luck to be saved from the catastrophe which is approaching at a steady pace of around 60000 km per hour. The demon is named as NIBIRU. It slated to collide with the Earth on 21st December 2012. The day on which many civilizations like that of MAYANS have predicted that the Earth will cease to exist.

The Internet is full of stories, arguments and counter arguments. They all predict that the Earth will either collide with this Planet like object, which is approaching Earth and will pass by to finish orbiting of the Sun. The planet is so huge in mass and power full in gravitational force, enough to rip the Earth apart.

The effect of what happens to the Earth when the Planet NIBIRU collides with Earth, is being studied. It is believed that all species on the planet Earth will vanish and the entire Earth could be covered with lava from both the planets. The aftermath of the collision could result in size of the earth diminishing, as mass of the earth could spread into the space due to the collision or it may increase many loads due to the masses of NIBIRU joining Earth mass. In both of these situations, the living species of our world would die for sure.

There are people who suggest that the planet NIBiRU, would not collide with the Planet Earth and they say that it is difficult to predict the exact nature of the collision, but it will be a close shave for the Earth.

Even if it passes by the Earth, the distance would be less than 200000 Km, that's pretty close !
The effect of its passing by would be felt on the Earth as a small stamp on the roadside feels when a speeding vehicle passes by. The Earth might act as a stamp on the roadside, while the NIBiRU would be a speeding vehicle on the super highways. The effect of such a passing by could result in Earth moving upside down and the consequent change of gravitational axis. North Pole could become South Pole and vice versa. This sudden change could last for three to four days, but subsequent upheaval could finish the every living species on the Earth. As such a change would bring in every factors of nature's wrath in action.

There would be great earth-quakes, heaviest rain fall, as volcanoes would erupt. The nature's fury would be unbearable. It could end the whole living species in the next couple of months and the planet could within year or so would be covered with snow. That's is the beginning of the ICE AGE on EARTH. Normalcy could return after few decades, may be even a century or two, but by then no living things would have left behind.

Planet NIBiRU, has been spotted years ago and its existence has been confirmed by NASA. Its orbit cuts into the orbit of the Earth and they are on the collision course. They would collide one or the other time, that is for sure.

The Planet NIBiRU is also known as planet X. There were some unexplained gravitational issues, which led the scientists to look of some object which was not discovered by then. Though few Planets were though discovered after that, but the mystery remained. The mystery made the scientists to believe that there must be a Planet like object, which is visiting Sun, every 3600 years.

After careful studies they calculated that the Planet X would visit the Earth in 2003 and in most likelihood it would collide with the Earth. But that has not happened in 2003, but the people now believe that the same Planet X was 9 years behind schedule and it would in most probability, would collide Earth on 21st December 2012.

Such collision had already taken place in the past, it is believed. It is believed that one of the moon of the Planet X or Planet NIBiRU, stayed with Earth in its previous collision with Earth. Our Moon is actually snatched by Earth from the Planet NIBiRU. Scientists give this reason because Moon in no terms is part of the Earth. It is made up of masses not usually found on earth. So this fits into the collision theory.

Earth's engagement with NIBiRU, if happens, then Earth would first of see one of the fiercest fire on the Earth. Everything on this Sumerian civilization believed that the said Planet NIBiRU, will visit the Sun in every 3600 years and this time this period is occurring on 21st December 2012. Hence the NIBiRU is running a chance to collide with the mother Earth.

There are large people who believe that the 21st December 2012 will be the final day of the Earth as predicted by MAYANS. This was the civilization thriving in 8 & 9 century A.D. They were believed to be highly advanced in the calculation and astronomical science. They have perfectly predicted almost all the eclipses taking place anywhere in the world today. They had the perfect calenders based calculations, which baffles the present day astrophysicists. They were near absolute in their calculation and prediction of every starry events. They have even predicted almost all the eclipses right from their existence in 8th & 9Th Century upto 21st December 2012. There is nothing in their calenders after that date. There is no calculations or predictions thereafter. They are utterly silent about any starry events there after.

This has led the people who are ringing the alert bell more entrenched in their belief. What they think is that, since the MAYAN calender is silent after 21st December 2012, the world will come to an end on that day. Internet Media is full of claims and counter claims to this prophecy.

Nostradamus, a French, had predicted a war like situation, earthquakes, floods, heavy rainfalls and heavy snowfalls. He believed these to be signs of end of the world. This is 2009, and so far he is 10 years behind schedule. He had predicted end of the world by 1999. But it could be argued that what he said has already happened in New Orleans, in Gujarat earth quake, in Europe highest and heaviest snowfall in years, but his area of effect might have been Europe or any one continent, he might not have considered the entire Earth for that reason and that may be reason that people like you and me are alive.

It may be posible that he might have some differences in calculaton and due to which situation which he predicted could happen little here and there.

It may also be possible that the predictions which were made in couplets, may not have been unerstood properly. If this was right then the events he had predicted, might be waiting to happening.

There is one more theory circulating on the Internet and that is the day 21st December 2012, Earth and the Sun, will be in such a position that they will be in the exact center of our Galaxy, Milky way. Scientists believe that in such a situation, a hitherto unknown gravitational field could get created and consequently the gravitational balance of the earth could be lost. The direct effect of which will be on the North & South Pole of the Earth. They might shift their position as to North Pole moves towards the South Pole and South Pole towards the North Pole.

Consequences of such shift in poles could be unimaginable. The Earth could face one of the heaviest occurrences of earth quakes, floods, heavy rain or snow fall, volcanoes my erupt at places and more miserably this could all happen simultaneously. This is dangerous. You can not be safe at any place on the Earth. Such an even could start may be two to three months in advance or may begin on 21st December 2012 and last for another two to three months.

We have been experiencing one of the major seasonal changes in this decade. We have been witnessing one of the greatest ever heatwave, very heavy rainfalls, heaviest snowfall not recorded in centuries altogather. We have attributing all these to global warming. We have learned a term named global warming, for all our difficulties due to seasonal changes. But scientists and experts are looking at the possibility of process of Pole shifting might have already began. Perhaps we might see someting very big happening on 21st December 2012.


What I Think of all this is, there is no need to panic.

MAYANS might have thought that after December 21st. 2012 people might be more clever and might have had their own calenders, so they might have stopped at that date. It might just be a co-incidence.

We think that we are the only species in this Universe, which will be destroyed by the nature's events, then you are perhaps wrong. We are not alone in this Universe. Some interesting follow ups, to this article.


(To Be Continued)

THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY PART I

Almost all economies around the world are just after recession and all the problems related to it. All most all the governments all over the world are trying to put their economy back on track, which is in trouble following the crisis in the US economy. The USA is the main country which is affected a lot at this moment of time. Obama will have to release one more package said to be around $800 Billion, could help the confidence level to improve in US and around the world.

Yesterday someone had written an article in the newspaper, saying that the economic experts are caught in to quagmire of the confusion, which way an average man on this earth should go about. Whether he should be advised to go Ghandhian way of little spendings or to advise him to go for consumerism.

As said ealier the Government interference in the Capitalist economies all over world was necessaited due to the crisis faced in world over. The present crisis is of trust. People do have money, but they neither want to invest in the market nor they want to spend on the products. This is perhaps the worst situation for the Capitalist economies to survive. They neither get money for further investments, nor they get market demand to infuse Capital into the economy and increase or even sustain the production lines for the goods.

The economies world over has taken a beating and people have started staying off the market(to buy consumables) This is perhaps is the major challange before economic experts all over the world. But one solution that has betrayed everyone here in india or there in USA or UK, and that is the innovation.

It is very simple that the people in US first ran after the Y2K and then the DOTCOM. The later got busted into the another hype, housing and construction, which busted in 2006 and for 2 years theer was nothing for the economists at the Capitalist powerhouse to begin with. And so we are at where we are now !!!

But if considered little seriously and analysed little deeply the Y2K, so created and very widely publicised in the media that everything which has a micro or any other chip inside an equipment, would faulter on the night at 12.00, on 31st December 1999, when the year would change to 2000. This made the all the software giants and other varous giants, to run after the solution, as people feared that their life could at perils of systems failure. My wife was sceptical about her mixer-grinder and it worried that what would happen to her 9 years old Godrej refrigerator. People using elevator in Empire State Building, USA, feared that, their elevators were old and were installed before decades, could ditch them suddenly as the chip inside was prgrammed till 1999 and on the D Day, it would read 2000 as "00".

Billions of dollars were poured into the software industries where almost everything was re-written on one or the other pretext. People involved spent money to secure their computers. New hardwares were introduced, people purchased it, even if they had little connection with actual Y2K proof hadwares. That led people to change for the softwares which were Y2K proof. People spent money even if they were not supposed to spend on the matter of computer.

The software firms were created, software engineers and programers became a very HOT word and profession. Employers were ready to pay them anything they wanted. The Dotcom bubble was the off-shoot of this Y2K hype. That followed the Housing hype. The world righ now needs a hype like that. But this time the people around the world must be convinced that the hype created will help and benefit them. This around the citizen all overs the world shall be more active and more watchful.


To Be continued.......

END OF PAKISTAN....???

Even One: The visiting SriLankan team was attacked by these terrorists, killing few people and injuring few great cricket players. These Cricketers, had jeopardized their life to save the sinking Pakistani image in the international cricket, when several countries, including India had refused to play in that country.


Event Two: Just after 20 days to the first incident, few terrorist attacked the Pakistan Police Training Camps, killing few people there, With the battle to recapture the Police Training facilities went on for 8 hours 25 cadets and other people perished in the attack claimed to have been carried out by Bettullah Mehsud.

Event Three: The Pakistani Taliban is inching slowly towards Pakistani Capital Islamabad. The tribal leaders around Pakistan have entered into the truce with Pakistani Taliban. The peace pact with the Pakistan Government is on the verge of collapse in SWAT as the Govt has failed to enforce Sharia laws there.

There are several thoughts running around in the print, electronic as well as Internet media, making people to think about the future of Pakistan. The country which was carved out of India, just to satisfy the egoistic and centrist philosophy of Mr Jinnah, is facing one of the worst ever crisis to its entity. The nation will fail if it does not see what is in its interest and what is not. You can not play to the world gallery claiming to be one of the country on the fore front againt the war on terror and claim to be real Islamist country than those Arabs and other Muslim countries of the world by supporting extremists, on the other side.

Pakistan has always been under crisis right from the day one of its inception. The country got freedom on its plank of being Muslim country, where the Muslims will live in peace, as they could not think that the Indians and not the Muslims would lead the new nation, India.

Indian continent Muslims are all converted Muslims. Converted during the attacks of Moguls, Turks, who captured Hindu states. These converted Hindus(remember that all those Muslims were converted from being Hindus centuries ago by Turks and Moguls), were so desperate to stay with the ruling elite that they themselves converted themselves to Islam, with the powerful support from those armies of Moguls and Turks. This was the story for Muslims in pre-British era of India, and when the Hindus and other religions woke up to to the call of independence from British rule, these converted Muslims (selfish Hindus of pre-British rule era) found that their rule, which was established on the shoulder of the Moguls, would end, they could not digest the fact and went to the extent of breaking up of India, by asking for Pakistan.

Pakistan was a nation created out of all bad intentions, jealousy and feeling of revenge. Jinnah was the titanic figure of Muslim struggle which wanted Indian partition. He was not ready rule the country which was majority Hindu population. The nation created out of hate will die down to the hate complex for India. Pakistan has always hated India and their only agenda for last 62 years has been HATE INDIA. This HATE INDIA feeling has taken that nation completely on the brink of the general collapse of a nation. Pakistan could be the youngest nation to die in the present political history, if it happens to be one.

People of Pakistan, military rulers, political think tank, and a normal Pakistani citizen, proud himself if he is listened for making HATE INDIA speeches at any damned platform. This of their HATE INDIA attitude steams out of their belief that the Indians engineered their further partition. Indians perpetrated and abated the creation of Bangla Desh. This fact they are not ready to forget. They are not ready to accept the historic blunder their leaders committed. Their leaders were very clever to cover up their own mistakes during the Bangla uprising. People of Pakistan forgot those atrocities they committed on Bangal people during their rule on East Bangal.

It is surprising that their leaders could envisage and engineer a similar uprising in Punjab and Kashmir. Instead of pondering over their mistakes and try to bring all the sects in Pakistan together, Punjabi continued to dominate the Pakistani political and military scene. They never tried to come to the terms with the fact that CREATION OF PAKISTAN WAS A MISTAKE. AND BANGLADESH WAS MISTAKE OF PAKISTAN. They have every reasons and excuse to blame everything on India. They have learned to blame every thing which is troubling Pakistan, has been computably blamed on India.

India, never provoked nor supported Bangladeshi movement in the erstwhile East Bengal. It was the atrocities commanders of army who belonged to Western Pakistani Punjab committed on the people of the east Pakistani citizens, that part got Independence with the help of India. Pakistan has always blamed India for that second partition of Pakistan. But how that can be possible ? If India were to engineer such an act, Bangladesh would not have stayed as a nation for almost 40 years, IT MIGHT HAVE HAD BEEN A ANOTHER STATE OF UNION OF INDIA.

Pakistan has turned a blind eye to their deeds in East Pakistan. Their leaders who had little or no vision, never tried to learn from their mistakes. They continued with those mistakes by diverting the attention of people from real issues. Their leaders are so poor in vision that they did not realize the actual and real reasons why the East Pakistan got away as separate nation.
India can not be blamed for that reasons, as innocent civilians were coming to India during the melee in Pakistan's eastern part. The division was imminent and even the USA, willing to support Pakistan could do little to save Pakistan from being partitioned. Even China stayed out of it because they knew that their ally was wrong and it was necessary for India to support the partition of Pakistan.

Pakistan's leaders were so stupid and short of vision, that they blamed everything on India, actually they must have had worked on their own mistake so as why the Bangladesh was created. A deep retrospection was required. They should have pondered over their own mistakes and tried to correct it and with the time they could have forgot the whole issues of Bangladesh, as it was their own mistakes. They could by no means and terms blame India for such an outrageous acts of their military in East Bengal. But they chose easier way out of blaming India, and creating HATE INDIA SYLLABUS IN PAKISTAN EDUCATION SYSTEM.

The actual HATE INDIA operation was initiated by General Zia, who initiated Operation Topac to cut the Kashmir and Punjab from India. His military planners initiated one of the best plans for Pakistan army to gobble up Kashmir and make Punjab its puppet State. But they could not realize that the democratic fibre of the Indian society was much more stronger, reliable and invincible. Thousands of people laid their lives for their nation. More Indian civilians were killed than they were in all the wars they fought after independence and during the independence struggle. India witnessed one of the few most lethal bomb blasts which killed unsuspecting and unrelated Indian citizens and protected successfully the Indian culture and way of life.

After 30 years of their try to break and divide, India has gone stronger and stronger with every passing day and every passing terrorist attack on its innocent civilians. Indians have laid their lives to protect freedom, democracy and its basic principle of co-existence for all religions, castes and creeds. India has emerged vibrant from all its difficult time as a nation. Democracy has flourished and people have become more matured and more determined to defend against those forces which try and create divisions and are harmful to it in any manner. The changed outlook of United States Of America and the whole world, is the proof that we have stayed together and remained one. We have prospered and Pakistan despaired. We made ourselves a considerable global power, Pakistan was recognized a country who is production ground of all terrorist activities world wide.

It is pity that even after knowing the real danger is not India, military and ISI have been creating a phobia and be-close themselves with the militants from across the section in Pakistan. What is most surprising is they do not see they are engulfed into a quagmire called TALIBAN, their top military officials like that of Mr. Kayani, find these Talibani a strategic assets in case of war against India. They have overlooked the basic intention of Talibans in Pakistan. They have not understood and envisaged the implications of Taliban taking over Pakistani State.

What is surprising is that average Pakistani do not see the threat posed by the rising influence of Taliban in Pakistan. A normal Pakistani national is not averse to Taliban gaining ground. They actually fear India so much for their existence, that they find Taliban helpful in their fight against India. They fear India so much that they are not ready to understand, analyse and ponder over the Taliban intentions, which could jeopardize their freedom and their development.

The problem facing the Pakistan is not that simpler the way it could seem to be. The Jihadi elements in Pakistan is like that of a giant dragon who was created to kill people, but when idle, it could kill the very own people who created them. The same thing will happen with Pakistan. Under intense international pressure it might reduce the intensity of terror strikes in India, but these idle Jihadis could turn their guns towards Pakistan itself. And that has already been witnessed in Pakistani Lahore.


The Taliban is a dark force of this universe. They are group of people who are so intensely brain washed that they do not have their own thoughts and their own vision. They are brutal, blind and butchers. They have no respect for human lives, forget women folks of their own country. They have no value of human lives. They believe in the life after death and not life before death., which non of them ever seen and experienced. No Taliban or even a human being has come back and tell the people what happened to them in heaven, when they were brought near Allah. No one on this earth has ever proved what happens in heaven. People believe in this philosophy out of fear of gun, these commanders and leaders have with them or they are not educated to an extent that they could argue with these leaders and commanders.

Their philosophy is based on personal views of some powerful people within their group and not by the learned people who openly share their views, which are open for debate and further improvement.It is difficult to imagine that young guns just 12 to 13 years old are drawn into the bloody war of Jihad. Jihad was never what these selfish mullahs and their followers have made it to be. JIHAD is a war within a person.

The New Enemy of Mankind...THE TALIBAN

Few months back, from the same platform I had expressed fears that the world is going to see a new enemy in the coming few months, named Taliban. Unfortunately my fears have gone right. The Taliban has emerged as a force to reckon with in Pakistan as well as in Afghanistan. Indian media is just after Taliban as it was after something after the 26/11 Mumbai siege. Many things have been written and many more things will be written on the same subjects, people in India knows about the Taliban more than their own country.

What is surprising, is everyone in this part of the world, have perhaps not understood the real danger of Taliban. Swat valley may be the first to fall, may the FATA be the next, then Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad and then......perhaps India, Srilanka and the whole of Asia......
The way the Pakistan Govt. is acting, is not understood as to why they have surrendered to the Taliban, the gene they themselves created. Pakistan seems to have not learned the terrible lesson, the Americans have learned. They created Mujaheddin in Afghanistan to fight against the Russians, and they ended landing there themselves to fight with these same Mujaheddin after 9/11.

The lackluster policies of Pakistani democratic Govt. could bring an end to the existence of Pakistan itself. The departure of Musharraf from power and death of Benazir Bhutto along with Mumbai and Lahore attacks may be the few last straws in the disintegration of Pakistan into smaller states.

But that may be a geo-political situation. The danger not envisaged by the Pakistani rulers, is very grave and very devastating for the generations to come. The effect of this Taliban movement will be felt for the generations to come, as was felt by Japanese after the two nuclear explosions over their cities. Taliban is not a force nor it is a terrorists who could be killed to end the problem. The roots are deeper into the Muslim society and its problems with the understanding of their holy book Quran. The Gods are always Gods and whatever their form may be or how the people believe and imagine.

No religion on this earth would justify killing of innocent men, women and children. No religion would allow the innocent be killed to enhance its influence. It is the sheer selfishness of a human being towards the power who has always been responsible for such dastardly acts of killing humans on flimsy grounds.

Dealing with Taliban will be difficult because it is not a group of few thousand people, it is the thought which is very dangerous. The Talibans will not allow people to learn, asks very young children to pick up the arms for a JIHAD, which is non-existent. The meaning of Jihad is completely turned upside down. Jihad was envisaged to beat the inner darkness of a human being. Who during his life needs to fight with so many things and his biggest enemy is himself. What the Jihad means is to remove the inner darkness and inner confusion. As a human being and being the social animal he has to go through several ups and downs in his life. He has to fight with all such issues and not to fight with the other humans and kill them just to justify their lies.

Taliban as been doing everything and taking all steps which will perpetuate what they have been doing right now. They have disallowed women from going to school. This will create a cadre of uneducated and highly motivated women force, who will give birth to young Talibans..for generations. Besides these women will always be ready to satisfy their lust. They have limited the job opportunities for men like banning numerous service providing professions. They have banned the trimming and cutting of beard fro men, this will leave all barber shops empty and barbers jobless. They have disallowed banking, entertainment industries leaving large gaps in solving the economic problems of the people. They have ensured that people are left with no choice to go for earning. An idle man could easily be drawn into the Taliban force and hence expand their cause. Since these idle men has no work left they fall easy pray to the the increasing pressure to join the militia force, to fight the security agencies.

The suicide bombers and those who fight for the cause of Taliban are convinced that the nymphs are waiting with the garland, to welcome them on the doors of heaven, if they die for the cause of Allah, their God, which is difficult to digest as no religion ever teaches specifically to kill those who do not believe in their own God. The definition of Kaffirs (those who do not believe in Allah, their God), has been completely taken as to suit their lust for power and easy access to woman, wealth. Does anybody from their entire force has ever come to earth from the doors of heaven to tell the actual happenings out there. It is all rubbish just to expand one's personal influence over bunch of people who believe these leaders blindly and never ever ask question, why?

Under such a delicate circumstances few things needs to be understood by the Muslims all over the world. They must recognize the inherent danger these Talibani forces pose to their generations to come. They must choose between the peaceful life and murderous tough life for their children and grand children. The people of this world from different religions could not cowed down forever. As they can die for their cause, so the people from other religions, could lay their lives for their belief. Hence they must learn and find out the ways of co-existence. Remember, this genie would take at least two generation to be dead as the way they are grooming new terrorists and these terrorists will do to their children.

The most important and the most crucial will be to kill the thought of Taliban. The Tought Taliban must be refuted at all levels by all means by educating the Muslims who could become easy pray to such a stupid and baseless propaganda. Furthering and accepting and committing to a religion is absolutely personal decision and perception and one can not be forced to follow any of such things. The Thought Taliban must die at the hands of those Muslims who consider that freedom is necessary to him, his family and his society as a whole. The Tought Taliban has picture of few centuries back. People of other religion, who believe in live an let live, have not yet decided to go the way Taliban have gone. Remember, the Sikh religion was carved out of Hindus, who were fed up of the Muslim atrocities in 15th & 16 th Century A.D.

Situation is much more different today. Moderate Muslims will have to fight for their religion to clear the blame and accusation that of following a religion of devils. Muslim as a religion is not a disputed proposition, but when few people following this religion talks of eliminating all other religions, is utterly unjustifiable and unacceptable.

Aftermath of Mumbai Seige

It was a almost 2 months full of suspense and drama. The result of all this drama and suspense, were known to Indians from the day the clouds hovered over Mumbai. There were war calls and then peace calls and then everything under control of the all mighty, whose war against terror is for a revenge for collapse of twin towers. They do not want to disturb their war in Afghanistan. They do not wish that Pakistanis withdraw their troops from their western border to its eastern border.

Pakistan has once again done the same thing, by refusing to acknowledge the proof of its involvement in the terror attacks. British, European and other world countries who will follow the American lines, have absolved Pakistani Govt agencies' direct role in terror attacks. They have also changed their earlier stand of perpetrators be brought to India for being tried. They supported India to cool tempers running very high at the time of terror attacks. Indians are once again fooled. The Kargil was followed by General Musharraf becoming guest to the Indian Govt, under the script written by the American foreign office.

We were made to sit with the master mind of the Kargil War. Those who were killed in that war must have been bitterly uneasy at that sight of Vajpayee shaking hands with the killer Musharraf. Then came the attack on the Indian Parliament. Many people to whom I know say that had some of the politicians were killed in the said attack then only they could have taken the decision to attack Pakistan.

India could end up paying very heavy price for trusting Americans, who have no principles in foreign policies, except their own National interest. They saw that the Pakistanis could really f*** up their efforts in Afghanistan by withdrawing troops from its efforts for war against terror, they changed their stand from favouring India to being an arbitrator working in favour of Pakistan.

It was a larger plan of Pakistan when they started to work for Operation Topac and Operation Bleed India. As I have already written that India has already lost a war with Pakistan. Pakistan has bound Americans by their so called support to their war on terror. Musharraf had joined hands with USA in their war against terror, despite the people of Pakistan had opposed the Musharraf move. Now they must be tanking Musharraf for acting so shrewdly with USA and using that opportunity against India in the hour of need. Americans despite knowing that the Indians are right, they can not do much about it. They have to stand with Pakistan.

If the Indian establishment is relying on America to rein in Pakistan, then wait for the day when our Prime Minister is waiting to receive Masood Azhar, Lakhavi at the New Delhi international airport for their official visit to India as representative of Pakistan Govt. I do not feel more humiliated than to sit for a dinner with a person who master minded the killing of our innocent citizens and our security officials.

This is perhaps the worst situation for Indian foreign policies is in and for those who want Americans to fight our war of terror. Mr. Pranav Mukharjee must stop depending upon the Americans, who are in process of change of guard at White House.


REMEMBER, there are more terrorist attacks going to happen in India. These Jihadis will try to put pressure on USA by creating trouble in India, which in turn give these extremists a breathing space, as they are all surrounded by the Allied Forces. Once if the Pakistan withdraws troops from the Afghanistan border, it will definitely weaken NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Still there are plenty of room for India to call the shots. India can easily do such things by even without firing a single bullet. (As it is peace loving country). India can increase war pressure on Pakistan or even threat to do so. It is quite clear from what is happening around, that India has already explored the possibility of a war. Perhaps they are preparing for a war, already. But before doing so it wants to leave no stone unturned to see that diplomacy and international pressure really works.

The world must realize that this time Indian government is damned serious. It can not afford to stay aloof from the public opinion in India, in general. Le me remind my followers that Indian people are ready to accept all the consequences of war, though the Indian Government is yet to take any decision on the same.

IS WAR WITH PAKISTAN POSSIBLE ? PART II

Continued....

It may not be right time to have a war with Pakista, now. Since the surprise element of war is already over. Secondly, India if planning a surgical strike against the camps in Pakistan, it may prove counter productive. The Pakistan will shout that they are being the victims and besides those camps might have already been emptied. Perhaps the purpose for such attack would not serve.

Attacking another soveriegn country needs to be planned meticulously and with utter precision. The planners I am sure will go deep into the effects of what if we attacked and our timing for the same.

First of all we must prepare ourselves for the war. We need to understand the economics of war. We must assess the exact outcome of the war. Everybody in India knows that if Pakistan cornered in conventional war, it will use nuclear weapon.

But for that reason India must give up "NO FIRST USE" of Nuclear weapons stand. This is one of the policies decided in the South Block, who does not understand its implications. War is War. IN WHICH WHO IS ALIVE WINS. "WARS CAN NOT BE WON BY DIEING, IT IS WON BY KILLING ENEMIES"

It is really confusing that how Indian Administration would cope up with a presumed whirlwind nuclear attack from Pakistan. If Pakistan decides to attack 8 to 10 major Indian cities of India, what action then the crumbled India could take. It is not clear what kind of command system is in operation at the highest level. If New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahemdabad, Banglore, Hydarabad, Nagpur, Luckhnow, Bhopal, Ranchi and few other cities like, Pune Nashik, Surat get destroyed in a sudden nuclear attack. In such case I doubt India has no other means but to surrender to Pakistan, as its complete political system and command structure would not be in place to launch a counter attack.

It is difficult to understand that Pakistan would destroy only one or two cities. When it knows that if given a chance India would finish Pakistan, It will not give and take any chance to allow India to retaliate. If Delhi ,Mumbai are attacked, India is finished. These additional cities will spell doom for Indian Union. All States of Indian Union could become small countries and Pakistan could gobble them up and become a greater Pakistan.

One must understand that we will be making a grave error in estimating the strengnth of Pakistan. It is a country which has principles, no civilian rule, no democratic traditions and no accoutability to their own people save the world. They are full of lies and we all have seen them defending their lies with another lies.

Make no mistake, the NUCLEAR THREAT IS REAL. As pointed out in earlier posts, Pakistan has always wanted this thing to happen and they knew that what was coming. We do not want to be agressor and the world knows it. But those countries who have the nuclear weapons, have never claimed that they will not initiate the use of nuclear warheads. THEN WHY INDIA INSISTS ON NO FIRST USE PRINCIPLE. IS MAINTAINING PEACE IS ONLY THE INDIAN DOMAIN ? DOES PAKISTAN AND THAT SAKE THE WHOLE WORLD HAVE NO PRESCRIBED COMMITMENTS ?

Suppose for a while that the war begins and Pakistan is cornered, if it attacks Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahemdabad, Baroda, Pune, Nashik, Luckhnow, Bhopal, Hyderabad, Banglore and all the maor cities with its entire available stock of nuclear war heads, what will India do and where from the retaliation come. If all these major cities of India are attacked simultaneously, it will kill millions and millions aNd destroy the entire India. Where is the chance and question of India calls back.

CAN ANY BODY FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT EXPLAIN, WHO DECIDED THIS CRUCIAL POLICY OF INDIAN DEFENSE ? WAS THE INDIAN PEOPLE CONSULTED BEFORE ? dO WE HAVE COMMAND STRUCTURE AS EFFICIENT AS THAT OF OTHER SUPER POWERS TO RETALIATE & SAVE OUR TOP DECISION MAKERS?

You will agree to the point that we will gain very little with this war. It will cost us billions of rupees, besides loss of life & property worth another few billion rupees. India will get behind by atleast 20 years in case of war. Forget Pakistan as it will not be there on the map after the war, but the Indian loss would also be very great. So what should be done? We can not fight wars and can not tolerate Mumbai type of attacks on Indian soil, mins and self-respect. We have to take a middle path.

We must get togather with NATO forces in Afghanistan. Send our troops to there. We have to corner Taliban before cornering Pakistani terror outfits. Taliban and Mullah Omar are enemy number one for India. With special commandoes in Afghanistan, we must trace and kill any Talibani leader or cadre with swiftness.

We alerady have commandoes which can enter Pakistan. Let the Pakistani Army & intelligence know, that the Indians are behind the assasination of Dawood Ibrahim, Masood Azhar & other terrorists wanted by India. Assassinate few of their hardcore terror leaders. Bomb those camps with RDX or plastic explosives. We are claimed to have a very sound economy. Few crore of rupees will go down the drain, but will be a capital investment. Blow up ISI Headquarter. Kill few of their top officials, who are believed to be mastermind.

Tell our commandoes, that this is going to be a covert operation. They must absolve Indian Government, who will refuse to take their bodies in case they are caught and killed. India will disown their body and refute charges of Indian hand in such events as elaborated herein above. These Jawans must be told that their last rites will be performed in India, with full nationa honour but without their dead bodies. These Jawans are known for supreme sacrifices, and they will come forward for this also.

The effects of such covert attacks would be very simple to assess. Pakistan will blame India for all these events. General public will feal that the Indians have killed those officials and people who are believed to be responsible for terror related attacks in India. Hence despite the Army wanting to initiate war with India, general mood will be defferent, which could be dangerous for any government, be it India or Pakistan.

But this requires bold leadership in India, above vote bank politics of caste, creed and religion. We have to make sit leaders like A. R. Antule, Raj Thackaray etc, at home. We need to be vigilent and very alert. There are so many ifs & buts, but the time for waging a full scale war with Pakistan has expired long back.


(Finished)

IS WAR WITH PAKIS POSSIBLE ? PART ONE

The Indian electronic as well as print media is flooded with the news items related to said preparation of Indian Air Force to strike on militant camps inside Pakistan border. Actually such reports do create some breaking news type of hysteria and result in increased TRP for news channels nothing more than that. It is being projected to be a situation that war between India & Pakistan is imminent and preparations for it are underway.

The impression is being carefully created wherein people are being tried to convinced that war is the only option available with India and it must take up the chance and thrash Pakistan for once and for all. Let it even be a nuclear war, if it had had to be. But it may seem little more than a pure imagination. War, is not going over picnic to a hill station nor its a live commando operation in either Taj Mahel hotel or Hotel Oberoi Trident or Nariman House operation by Marcos. Such an event has always raised the TRP of TV channels. CNN became famous and known to entire world with its live coverage of war in Iraq, in 1991 Operation Desert Storm, when Kuwait was gobbled up by Saddam Hussein.

If the Indian electronic media, is busy creating a war like situation thinking their TRP could go high up in the sky along with their revenue, then their credentials as Indian news channel must come under sharp scrutiny. A full fledged war with Pakistan may seem to be exciting stuff for all Indians, but it needs to be planned & executed with razor sharp precision. It must take into consideration all aspect related to present & future implications of a war and our present & future requirements from the war. We might need to consider the after effects of the war as well as taking it to logical height of its intensity.

It must be remembered that if the war breaks out, it will be fought very fiercely. Indians have suppressed their anger since the Khalistan Movement in Punjab and Independence struggle of Kashmir from India. India blames all its militancy, nexal and terror activities are supported and abated by Pakistan. And on the other hand Pakistan has had a grudge that India helped create Bangla Desh by breaking up of Pakistan. India tired of two decades of terrorist attacks and loss of lives and property worth millions, could foresee to take revenge for the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent Indians.

The open secret agenda of Pakistan includes dis-memberment of all Indian States and then gobbling up one by one to make its boundaries from Iran to Kanyakumari. (You can not ask anybody, not to dream, but have to be prepared to defend if that dream is being tried to be converted into a reality).

Indians are very much aware of such situation. Hardliners in Indian establishment want to finish the existence of Pakistan as a State if this time the war begins. There is a new breed of officers and soldiers, who propagate fight to finish war with Pakistan.

Both the countries have their capacity and by any comparisons, Pakistan will and can never match Indian military might in conventional non-nuclear war. But 1999 Nuclear explosions have changed everything. India and Pakistan have become nuclear weapon States.

Indians must consider this and understand that Pakistan has been wanting this to happen for two decades. They wanted to squeeze Indian nose without being worried about the hit back from India. That is what has happened. Knee jerk Indian leadership fears war. They are given so many chances of hits to Pakistan, but some how or the other way they just lay down their arms at the final, crucial moment. The thought of creation of such a situation, favouring Pakistan, started ever since India exploded first nuclear device in Pokharan, in 1974. With that explosion, India drew Pakistan into the race to develop and possess nuclear weapons vis-a-vis India.

Slowly the policy makers in Pakistan realized that with the nuclear weapons' threat, India will never attack them as Indians would fear the Pakistani nuclear weapons. (Remember: Pakistan has not committed itself to N-FIRST USE. So they are free to initiate nuclear attack) The threat of use of nuclear weapon is much bigger than actual use of such a weapon in real war. So they clandestinely developed nuclear weapons material. The premise of Pakistani Nuclear weapons programme is based absolutely on deceit, theft, ditching and corruption. Once the nuclear weapon developed, they were fearless in their operations in India.

Indian leadership, they know, is one of the most soft in the world that anyone can bully Indians. They have no vision. They have no love for their nation. They are not bothered if Indians get slaughtered by terrorists, naxals or any other body. They had expected the maximum these leaders can do is shout for the war. In such an intense situation USA will take care of Indian leadership and thwart any action being perceived by Indian security forces.

Mr. Bhutto , the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, had vowed to eat grass for 1000 years but to make a nuclear bomb, that was the desperate bid by the entire Pakistani mindset since they lost to Indian forces in Dhaka. This mindset has changed a lot since then for the worse.

Pakistan wants India to bow and rub its nose at its feet. Each and every Pakistani, whether he or she accepts it or not, has not forgot theBangla Desh creation engineered by Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. If he is a patriotic Pakistani , then he will be lying he says he wants peace with India. Kashmir they want is for to avenge their defeat, when they lost there in Kashmir, they had entire Indian horizon open for them to attack the innocent Indians.

It was the open secret that Pakistan wanted to create a situation, wherein it can disturb peace in entire India with deadly precision and Indians can just make noises here and there and can not do much more than that, as if India were to think of a war, a second thought would come to its mind about the nuclear fall out that could result from it. A fear of nuclear war and counter attack from each other prevented then USSR & USA to attack each other, even as in worst situation like Cuban crisis.

Pakistan is a State which manufactures terrorists. They are trained and indoctrinated to a state of mind that the trained terrorist looses interest in living a present life. The brainwashing is so intense and to such an extent that the terrorist feel that better life awaits them in heaven, if they lay their life for the cause of their community. They are given allurements like marrying off to a Kshmiri girl or some cash rewards or anything like that. Above all they are given a feeling that the God ( Allah) will be greatly pleased and he would send those who died of this Jihad, to heaven near God.

So you like it or not, Pakis have already won the war, without having declared war, whether we accept it or not. They have created a sense of terror in the mind of people across India. They must be happy to see the Indian News Channels, when give breaking news of about 30 terrorist having landed in India, 9 killed, one arrested and 20 still at large. There may be only 10 terrorists, those who might have reachedMumbai, but the fear of another 20 has made the entire security agencies go tizzy over these 20 said terrorists who are at large.

The point is not having sent 10, 20 or 30, it is the work of 10 and fear of another 20 hiding in country have put everybody, especially the Indian security agencies, on the toes. Pakis could never achieve such a feat even if they fought a year long war with Indian troops. On the chess board they have check mated us and while we are still sleeping and refusing to see the reality. We have lost the battle, we may win the war but now we are lost. A country of a billion has been defeated by a country of few million.

They have made India to be able to do nothing in retaliation of anything they do with deadly & ruthless precision. They have attacked our cities, our people, our security, our sense of being an Indian as and when they have wished

The operation TOPAC started in late 80s, initiated by general Zia, was known to each Indian on this earth, but we did nothing but waited for their plan to succeed. Their plan succeeded greatly and they have been reaping its fruit now.

India may be a very powerful army, which is always in bunker passing their time in either earning money with currupt means or planning some awkward terrorist operation, where they are not bothered to use the stolen two wheeler.

India may have powerful airforce, but it is always busy in helping those Indians who have been caught in flood waters. Even after 60years of independence we have not been able to tap and control our rivers.

India may have good navy, have aircraft carrier, stealth frigates, but they were no-where near when the 10 bastards from Pakistan entered in India, via Mumbai shores and let loose the havoc.

We have 11 to 12 security agencies, but nobody knows what is the purpose and duty of each agancies and where and whom to report. Even if the reporting is done sometimes rightly, they do not know what to do with these informations so received.

We may be second largest fastest growing economy in the world, but we have been defeated and completely tied down by a country who is in deep debt trap of westrn countries, particularly USA and IMF. Despite many conditionalities they have been successful in evading these international agencies and can further their agenda of terror and destruction in India.

Even today, after almost three weeks after Mumbai attack, we have only convinced the UNSC to ban Jamait Ud-dava and few rhethroics here and there. We have successfully passed a bill in Parliament for creation of NIA. But what if this newly created agency goes the way other agencies have gone, becoming a puppet of political party in power.

Make no mistake that the world communities fear about the nuclear war between India and Pakistan and its fall out on the entire world. Pakistan will blackmail the world community that if India attacks them, this could turn out to be a nuclear war between India and Pakistan. Hence, Pakis will always get away with its crime, while the world community let by USA, will always ask India to keep patience. (As it happened this time when Ms. Rice arrived from USA with a message from President Bush).

Considering the above facts, we have very limited options. We will not able to attack. If we attack, the war will have cent percent chance of getting converted into a full blown nuclear war between India and Pakistan. Which neither the world community nor the India would ever wish to happen.

To Be Continued........

MUMBAI UNDER SEIGE

The deadliest attack so far on the city of Mumbai has left the Mumbaikars dumb-founded. Being a Mumbaikar myself, I have mixed feeling of anxiety, fear, anger and outrage. It has been one of the longest drawn battles for the security forces in Mumbai. It has so much of violence that they are now not moved even by explosion from a grenade and many of us have stopped watching the Television sets for sheer lack of any end in sight to the trauma that an average Mumbaikar is facing.

Many top journalists would now be busy writing up articles on this of Mumbai's attack and will term it and present it in the most sensational manner. People will start moving from where they had left on 26/11 and start to learn, if they already don't know, to forget what happened to people who were killed at CST Railways station, Taj Mahel hotel, Trident Oberoi Hotel or even at those two hospitals. Govt. will declare (has already done that part) compensation to the kiths & kins of those who were killed in the terror strikes.

It is surprising that despite the several hoaxes, terrorists have stayed away from attacking USA, after 9/11 after their counter strike in Afghanistan and poor Iraq. They have not even dared to even attack the Israel for that reason. But terrorists from all over the world find India as the best place where they can express themselves and fro that reason kill Indians to prove that they are still there and do matter. You know the politicians think that better they have to handle less opposition from those who have died. This shameless class of modern India, who rule the masses of over 1.25 Billion, feel that if few die of such terror attacks, is a small event. These are the real B*****ds, should have been shot in the first place.

It was in 1980 in the month of August, a senior Indian diplomat Mr. Ravindra Mhatre, in London, U.K. was abducted by JKLF terrorists and he was killed. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister Of India, had ordered an immediate death rope for their leader in Jammu jail, named Maqbul Batt, whose death penalty was under Govt. consideration. It created a sense of security and respect for the people of India, that their death as martyor, matters.

That was the last time I had heard of the retaliatory strike made against any terror outfits, the manner and language they actually understand. But since then the same old story goes on since long. Govt. machinery wakes up only after something happens and they The same old story of waking up after the strikes are already made as it has happened now. It is beyond anybody's comprehension that the terrorsts were holed up in the three buildings for almost 60hours in Mumbai and challanged the entire security agencies for over 60 hours.

Heart really goes out for those officials who have laid their lives for this nation. The loss suffered by their family is beyond one's imagination and can never be compensated. Three top officials have lost their lives and Mumbai Police will definitely feel the pinch of their absence from duty.
They have no proper equipment to protect themselves. The terrorists had AK47 & AK 56 rifles, while our police force just had old rifles which can at a time load 2 rounds, and fire one of them, while the terrorists had a gun which can load upto 200 rounds a time. What a difference.

Politicians have the top class commandoes from NSG for their protection, who are very well equipped, but those who contribute their hard earned money as tax, are vulnerable to such terror attacks. And mind you, most of the policies of styaing as enuch is decided by these politicians. Imagine that they have the best protection, but who pay for their protection are left to die a death either at CST Railway Station, Taj Mahel Hotel or Trident Oberoi Hotel. But anger is rising for the politicians who are responsible for the safety of its people. They all sit in the most secured houses, covered by the Z+ + securities, they keep making stupid statements and have no vision and directions for themselves, are allowed to lead the nation in its 21st direction. It is a pity that these little inconsiderate mice are allowed to lead us.

Several resignations from politicians will not be enough. Some here and there actions will just not suffice, few officials transferred from one deprtment to other department in a Ministry will not serve the purpose. They must be asked to prove their innocence that they performed their duties in the best possible manner or must be tried for treason. These officials have been working for cross purposes so far must be asked question through RTI to inform the people of this country that they worked for the nation and not for themselves .

Electronic Media is flooded with the proofs against these officials who claimed to have received the prior information about the terror attack as far as a year ago. What these traitors did for the full one year? Don't you think they must be charged with a murder of all those people died in the terror attack?

RAW says it passed information to IB, IB says they passed information to Coast Guard, CG says though they may have intercepted the boat in which these assassins reached Indian shores, but they can not arrest them or impound the boat as they are not empowered to do it.

Aren't these officials are acting for cross purposes? It seems that they are paid by the Indian Govt. out of tax payers monies, but seems to working for the ISI & Pakistan military ! They say at one stage or the other they had information about the arrival of these terror group from sea, why they did not take the appropriate action so that the safety of the Indian citizens does not get compromised. It is really hard to believe that nobody in all these top security agencies never sat on the bits of information received from their sources and tried to make a bigger picture. They did not make a group responsible for this particualr project, who were empowered to track the happenings and prepared for the worst.

What is the use of keeping so many security agencies when you can not manage them and even you know sitting in the miniterial cabine that who is doing what? Why is not there a security agancy which looks after all these aspect and all the different security reports to one CEO, if there is a dire need to have different agencies to perform various diffrent duties, so that proper co-ornination is possible ?

On thing must baffle everyone is that, why there has been no sacking of any intelligence officials till this date. There is a common pattern, no officials get sacked for non-performance of their duties. So thay are never bothered if they perform or do not perform.

It is not just the politicians who are to be blamed, but also these officials who have taken salaries from tax payers pocket and have refused to work. They think that the Govt is paying them the salary, but it is not the Govt. it is all people like you and me, even that person is just peon in a office, he pays taxes in all the forms. Shouldn't we ask for the better from these lazy, stupid, traitors in form of officials who are responsible for stopping 10 kids from Pakistan.?

Politicians believe that people have very short memory and they will forget about what happened to them within a month and people will get involved back into their routine of work, office, sensex, invetments, outings, dinners in hotel, new film releases, review of new drama in theatre, election result, etc..etc... If they think like that, then only God will save them.

Electronic media will have some other BREAKING NEWS, and they will make you forget about the rape of Mumbai on 26/11 to 28/11. But I feel that this is not the thing that has been happening since long. The anger of people this time could sweep the politicians from all parties. As I was the part of the rally on 3rd of December 2008, people were in no mood to let those off the hook responsible for present situation, particualrly the Political Class.

Mind you not a single representative from this ROYAL CLASS bothred to join the angry Mumbaikars, lest they could get a good thrashing by the people.

Surprisingly, the " originals" of Mumbai, like Mr. Raj Thackaray, has stayed in side his home and have not seen or heard any statement from him so far(6/12/2008: 11.30 P.M.)

If he was so much worried about Mumbai and his Marathi speaking people, I expected him to have visited Taj Mahel hotel once, during the fight with terrorists was going on. His party cadres should have wielded weapons and attacked those kids from Pakistan along with the NSG commandoes. Let me remind Mr. Raj, that those who fought against the terrorits were all non-Marathi speaking people and laid their lives along with police officers from ATS and Mumbai police. No politician ever got the bullet on his body.

Of course he has proved his smallness, by raising absurd issues of locals and nothing much could have been expected of him than this.He has already justified his place where he deserved to be.

We also failed to see those Human Rights people from Human Rights Commission, who had been advocating linienecy for terrorists Mohd. Afzhal and A.R. Gilani convicted and sentenced to death by Supreme Court, to see what these terrorists did to Mumbai. Is the Indian Human Rightc Commission just looks after the terrorists' well being ? Have they raised the voice on behalf of the innocent people who lost their lives at various places in Mumbai.

People must realize that these people are just after their votes and they have no interest whatsoever in protecting them from such terror attacks. They can just play with the emotions of the people that's all and when people really need them, they are no where to be seen. What we need is our willingness to teach such people a lesson or two of their life.

My logic fails to understand their passion to stick to their seats in power despite the clear wish of people to see them out. Prime Minister, may be a good economist but he is a very very poor statesman. Remember an economist can never take harsh and hard decisions, becasue his point of view on any of the events happening in India, would be through his prism of economic fall out. He has a long way to go before he actually understands the difference between a good finance miniters and a good statesman. His address to nation is so poor in drafting that its not even worth listening or even reading its transcript. Such people sit in the place where Mrs. Indira Gandhi sat, that's great pity.

We are seeing experts on T.V. & in print media considering the option of full fledged war with Pakistan, as all fingers of suspecion are directing towards the natural ally to terrorism (or War Against Terror????!!). They are telling us that war is the only way out and Indian will win the war. It was true before two decade agao , when Pakistan was developing nuclear weapons. bIt is a declared nuclear weapon state. So remember we can not fight war when the enemy is at par with you. They have nuclear weapon for this only, to deter India from weging a full scale war., as their Army, Air force or even Navy are no match to that of India. Pakistan wants us to stay away from full scale war, but on the other hand they can and they will bleed us for years with this type of terrorist attacks.

Now imagine forawhile:

In case of war, Pakistan is governed by mad people in Army and if they find they are loosing out to India in conventional battle (which more likely than anything else) they will use Nuclear weapons against Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Banglore or even Chennai, farther the cities better for them to avoid any nuclear fall out due to nuclear explosion, as our borders are few kilometres apart.

Besides, we Indians have promised a no first use, but we as citizens are not sure about the Indian retaliation would come at all? What will India do if attacked with nuclear weapons? When we can not take simple decisions for ourselves like that of destroying terrorist training camps in POK and teaching Pakistan a lesson, for that we have depended upon USA, that they will fight our battle in POK and we arehappy at the USA sending its troops in the region. wIn case of such a nuclear attack, we might seek permission from USA to allow us to use our neclear weapons on Pakistan in retaliation.

The world would most likely pressurize us not to do so, give us money & all other help and assistance and ask Pakistan to stop or even likes of Mrs. Rice would be in India and ask our leaders and advise us not to repeat what the stupid leaders of Pakistan did. Indians under pressure from world would not then attack the Pakistan with nuclear weapons, despite our cities destroyed by the Pakistani Islamic bombs.

Besides all those Muslim countries, would condemn India if it was to use nuclear weapon and even boycott India, Indians and Indian products, as they have money and they have power. I really wonder not a single Muslim country has come forward and condemned Pakistan and offered help to victims.

That's an absurd scenario, just to tell those war-mongers, who want to have a full scale war with the Pakis. We will end up being attacked with nuclear weapons and will sufers for generations, while Pakistanis will definitely let off the hook. What these world leaders have done to stop the Pakistan from attacking India ? Just nothing, except few statements here and there.

What our leaders do not realize that its our war and we have to fight it out. Nobody will come and ask their citizens to die instead of the Indians in any terror attacks or even a war. So its our war and we have to fight it and ask the world countries to be either be with us or perish. We do not need such friends who are not with us at the time of need. Such a thorough nationalist feeling has to come up in we Indians and more importantly the political leaders must lead us to a war with those who question our national identity and its existence.

Plant few bombs in ISI head quarter and Military head quarters and blow them up. These people and their dear ones must realize the pain we Indians get in seeing dead bodies of our loved ones. They must realize that if they attack Indians, Pakis are the next to die. They must be assured of quick, prompt and swift retaliation at our will. They must know what is an outrage and rape of a nation. Care must be taken not to hurt any civilians as they are most of the time innocent people but if they do die, let that be their fate of being a citizen of that country. People who died at CST Railway station had only one crime they had committed that they were Indians.

WE have only one choice here, and that is try these terrorist in absence, in our courts , sentence them and attack these Pakistani terror groups, from India in Pakistan, with similar modus-operandi, as they are doing with us. Send our trained men to Pakistan and shoot to kill Azhar Masood, Dawwod Ibrahim and all those notorious basturds, which India feels must be sentenced to death. We are not a poor country to not to afford the expenses to get such operations under way. Ultimately we will be saving lot of money in terms of reduced terrorists attacks as well as we will not have to risk a war.

I really wonder that in a country of 1.25 Billion, we do not have even 10 people who could go into Islamabad and find out those wanted by Indians and kill them. I also wonder why monies are not spent on recruitment of agents who can carry out strikes within Pakistan. Once or even twice, thrice and even endless times if we carried out such attacks, till the time Pakistan hesitates and then fears to attack the Indians.
