Renuka Chowdhary and Ramadoss

Indian Politics is very interesting one. I am very keen to follow the stupid speeches, confessions, acts, misdeeds, volatility, party hopping, ideology hopping of Indian politicians, it is a fun to watch......sample these incidents.
Lot of hue and cry of Mangalore incidents. Hands down, should be condemned but is this the way. Our own Ms. Renuka Chowdhary(RC) very vocal and brave(did she fight against the terrorists during Parliament attack, no i guess she was trying a place to hide....), gave the statements one after other condemning the attacks, fair enough. I happened to see an article in TOI dated February 22, 2009 in Chennai edition, that FIR was filed against RC for terming Mangalore to Taliban. So brave, she stood against the entire state....brave brave....but in the same newspaper in the same page just below RC's article, that naxal women in Bastar, were implementing policy of not having children as it would be difficult for them to fight, why did not RC raise her voice against this and used the vocal force to bring down this.........don't bother to find the answers......it is known fact. Following are the golden principles-
If any opposition party is ruling any state, and any small incidents happen, raise your voice and try to malign the state government by words such as "jungle raj", "law and order failure", "CM/HM should own moral responsibility and resign""President rule should be imposed" etc. etc., who give more type of statements will be recognised for future elections.
If any of your allies are ruling any state/or ruled by self....then "condemn the incident" and move on. This happened in Chennai, when the entire Lawyers were pulled up by police and beaten....as this is ruled by RC's ally, no comment from any corner of the central government......so exact implementation of golden principles.

Renukaji, i have high regards for you but why do you blow up for wrong causes. Be firm and raise your voice for any of the mis deeds irrespective of the parties, do you want to just be good with your bosses and not with people.......don't try to have two faces, you are answerable to god have one face.

Please have a policy of "soft pillow"...at the end of the day when you sleep, ask yourself whether you have done rights things which your conscious permitted and have not done things just to make some one happy.
Please take some cue from A Ramadoss, the health minister, he stands by his commitment, irrespective of the strong lobby's he has accomplished the great job of banning the smoking in public places, he took on the mighty people of star world, but for the cause of a good deed......i am sure when he sleeps, he would be happy that he would have saved lakhs of rupees spent by govt on cancer related ailments, environment etc., I am with you health minster for all your initiatives which helps people at large, i don't even know which party you belong to or does it matter, if given opportunity, i would like to canvass for you in your constituency.

Simple rule Renukaji, if you do know learn it.......by being vocal or fierce will not solve the problem, have sincerity in what you do.........

Worst Case Scenario-Muthappa Rai

Muthappa Rai (Mr.), was the name once dreaded, it was a name, which used to be image of terror for common man and also police. Today, he is very much within us. I appreciate MR. very much, not because he was once upon a time the Don having areas of Mangalore, Bangalore, and Mumbai under his control, but because of his bravery and courage to come back to the mainstream of life after all the dreaded episodes. I am coming from the view that what would have been a plausible worst-case scenario; say if MR. was still a don! The same stories of underworld fights, murders, extortion would have been carried but to the extent required and felt to be done by Mr. also the cost of tracking him by the police of various states, how much drain on citizen’s hard earned money. Today, he is brave and courage enough to come into open, face the law, got acquitted and now leads a citizen’s life. He has built his own party called as “Jaya Karnataka”, which is into development of rural areas as Mr. feels that politicians always try to concentrate on urban cities rather than rural areas. Agreed, and it is true to quite an extent. Likewise, today Mr. has also formed “Jaya Karnataka”, which will definitely prove to be very influential in the near future. It is highly recommended that all our kannada parties should contest elections and win sufficient number of seats (MLA and MP) so that we can have a say for our language in state and central parliaments. A voice with sufficient number in legislature is heard with seriousness! I was keen to register with “Jaya Karnataka” for some social activities relating to education field, but could not access the website, as it was still “under construction”………probably my thoughts are also under construction. I am of the view that if someone is doing good things he needs to be appreciated, forget his past.....everyone of us have a dark past which may none of the people around knows us..........i will be happy if MR. aim of bringing development to rural areas is achieved, which i know the government will never achieve.......I have tried to cultivate a habit of looking positive things in even in negative scenarios and try to imagine the worst case scenario so as to compare the same with the existing scenario..........I AM THANKFUL TO GOD THAT I BROKE MY LEG......FOR BEING LUCKY THAT IT WAS NOT MY BACKBONE......

Why fanatics overeact?

Front Page news....hogging limelight....publicity.....all this are creation of Media. Now let us understand as to why fanatics go overboard and give statements which though does not affect us but still becomes talk of the town....let me share my views with various incidents...
A R Antulay incident. Anutaly was sleeping when Mumbai was on fire....everyone knew that the Anti Terrorist Squad had visited the spots of hospital in search of terrorists.....but Anutaly does not believe it....he feels that ATS were mislead....now the basic question is that who mislead ATS. For this i need to stretch my imagination to the wildest possible extent......let me try....As Antualy had confirmed that it is BJP because of Malegoan blasts ripping it......my imagination goes like this.....someone in BJP knows that there is a terrorist attack in Mumbai and immediately go on field.....they also call up their local friends in police stations and inform them to direct the ATS to a particular place...(this means BJP is acting faster than terrorist)...and the good friends in police station inform ATS to go to that hospital....which ATS abides....then BJP instructs the terrorists to kill ATS guys......hence Anutaly feels that ATS was mislead....so stupid...does ATS listen to Police?or were the ATS given instruction by Home Minister(assuming BJP paid say 100 crore for the instruction to the Home Minister), that means the blue print of the attack with time and place was circulated to BJP/Home Minister and they played the act so that ATS reaches the spot at certain specified time and the terrorist kills them.......sorry i could not stretch more than this(i think i need to check my brain as it is giving wrong signals.....like the above imagination).........

So Anutaly, thought when it is hot lets beat the iron(read citizens)....and gave the famous judgement that ATS was mislead and the death is not as it is proved.....why did he do this...
1) he was not known in public....so by this statement now he is known in the entire world(thanks to the headless chickens(read media)) whom beamed the statement throughout the day
2) Loksabha elections nearing hence to make sure he wins the votes by raising the voice
3) give signal to high command, that my seat needs to be confirmed for lok sabha ticket
4) he knows the sensitivity that media will pick his statement and beam him throughout the days, opposition will create ruckus, he will get wide publicity without paying for it......and this all comes free........
5) Media does not know what to beam and what not to beam.........

Second incident is......."Pub Culture" "valentine day culture against Indian tradition" etc., by various organisations and individuals.....these guys are smart and media is not.......the simple test is that give a statement against any issue which is widely accepted, Media will pick up the issue and start discussions on it by inviting panel.....forums.....votings....all stupid and non value addition methods and keep giving wide coverage to such individuals and organisations.........these guys measure their statement like this--
1) number of newspaper covering the statement
2) front page or other pages
3) with photo or without photo
4) how many channels beaming the same as live.....
5) how many ministers/MLAs/MPS/EX-PM/PM/HM etc., give statement against their statements.......

All the above leads to publicity and they get it dirt cheap...which media is not understanding and falling prey to just stay in competition(same analogy applies to Raj Thackrey).

Media is not responsible enough to understand what is issue of national importance and what are the issues which are just created to get publicity..........at the end of the day we citizens are taken for ride and are forced to forget the real issues of national importance, rather than discussing how do we combat terrorism, how do we increase the literacy ratio, how do we increase the agriculture output, how to increase employment opportunities, we are today discussing(thanks to media) whether to go to pub or not or whether to celebrate valentine's day or not."Media is dead Long live Media"
