In my post " Mumbai blast with Pakistani view ( http://anujdmad.blogspot.com/2008/12/mumbai-blast-with-pakistani-view.html )", I mocked Pakistani defense analyst declaring him fool of the first order but now I realize, better I should correct myself. Perhaps he is person having deep understanding of Indian politics and politicians. He knew his ridiculous explanation would be taken seriously by Indian politicians and would be used to appease particular section of Indian Muslims. Mr. Antuley and some RJD members did not let this so-called analyst's confidence go down.
Thanks to Sabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar for publically condemning Antuley in this critical time. This move will surely protect number of Muslims from being trapped into Antuley's and other politician's political gimmick to pander a particular Muslim section.

Should we debate on such issues?
Since the Mumbai attack, I am following news and debates on his issue from all the sources possible available to me. I was gazing at not only Indian channels but also at Pakistani channels, Thanks to youtube. I observed a clear difference between Indian media and Pak media. Just after attack, Indian journalists were in attacking mood and were talking about what action should India take against Pak (as they already assumed Pakistani involvement rather than waiting for investigation reports to come out). Where as Pak journalist were in defensive mood and were carping some handful emotional and illogical rationales like " Pakistan is also victim of terror" or " every time something happens in India, they blame Pakistan" etc. Some of them even called Mumbai attacks were perpetrated by India only just because ATS Chief, who was investigating Sadhvi Pragya case, was murdered. My all these observations not only made me to laugh at Pak media but also made me to proud Indian media for unity in their intensions against external powers. But to my sorrow it didn’t continue for so long.
Yesterday was 26 Dec 2008, less than 1 month of Mumbai attack, all the candle congregation, protest against politicians, public gathering to show unity are over and the same media has started talking about issues like "Should KASAB get defense?"
Check out the link to read our journalists discussing.
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/law-vs-conscience-kasab-defence-a-weak-case/80648-3.html
Mrs Ramjeth Malani, I am sure that you are right as a lawyer but as religion are made for human and not the human for the religion, same way constitution is made for Indians and not the Indians for constitution. Even if Indians are made for constitution then too those are "Indians" and not "Pakistani".
Bharat Kumar Raut said it very well
"The basic purpose of having a legal process in place and a trial is to bring about the truth. When everyone knows the truth, then that question of legal aid does not arise. Secondly, the Indian law is meant for Indian nationals,"
Mrs. Jethmalani should ask Harish Salve's below words to him at the end of this debate.
"Why should we not treat this man, who on his own admission has been supported and trained by ISI - which is a Pakistan government organization - as a terrorist who has waged war on India? I say treat him as a Prisoner of War. I think the Government of India is letting the common man down again. It is high time that the nation stood up and fought back. Sponsoring, supporting and committing terrorism on your land is contrary to the United Nations resolution. A state like Pakistan should be treated as having committed an act of war,"
I urge Mrs Jethmalani to ask himself "who is more important for Indian constitution, Indian public or a Pakistani who came to India illegally, killed so many innocents , raped India's image all over the world just because he had not anything to do in his own country."
Mrs. Jethmalni's below words show that he was there in discussion, with some prejudices and to some extent was yelling his anger with Shivsena
"We will not destroy our reputation merely because the Shiv Sena wants it to be destroyed"
I liked comment by one reader and sharing same here.
"Pakistan does not even want to allow foreign agencies to interrogate suspected terrorist and we are debating on if Kasab should get legal aid. What sort intellectual fools are we? All we need to do is to keep him alive till he is disclosing information or till the time the we can produce him in front of the world as one of the proofs against Pakistan. Let us focus our attention on the steps to be taken against Pakistan rather than diverting our attention to such useless things. The prospects of taking any action against Pakistan are fading fast. People have started going back to their daily grind. That’s exactly what the Politicians want and that’s what the media is doing. Good! Let the people sleep until they are shaken up or woken up by another such attack. We have seen 4100 attacks after all."
These are very genuine emotions which are pleading our intellectuals to react according to constitution to stop such attacks or if it happens to teach a lesson to our enemies and not to talk about right of a Pakistani terrorist.

Our politicians....
The very next day, Mumbai got release from terror spread in the city, i was thinking what can i do to fulfil my obligation towards my motherland.After thinking a lot, when i could not get any idea, i thought of starting a discussion on same either in Orkut community or in some other forum.News channels also started very similar campaigns in which they asked viewers to give their view on what should be done to combat terrorism and to give a proper reply to our enemies. Then i realized that its not me only who is thinking on this line but perhaps every citizen of India irrespective of religion, is thinking on the same line. The very next news on the TV forced me to change my opinion as one class exists in India which is not thinking on the same line and that is our politicians. Perhaps these politicians are not normal citizens of India and they are VIPs so they have to have other things to do. BJP was trying to shake the government and was busy whether our PM, Home minister, Maharashtra CM and home minister resign or not. Congress was busy in trying best to hold its power and in running away from its accountability of terror attacks.Later Kerla chief minister was busy with yelling his frustration on father of martyr Sandeep, not realizing emotions of his father and not realizing that Indian mob respects its soldiers more than any other, even more than GOD.
Till now i have not got any idea about what can i do but trying hard to feel as if it happend yesterday only.

I want to hate more n more
Today I went for a candle light congregation in Hyderbad, in memory of innocents who lost their lives in recent Mumbai attack. Popular slogans, which were being recited, were “ Terrorism Down Down” and “ We want, peaceful India”. I had no problem with these slogans but I dint like these much. Reason was my intention of participating in this congregation. I was not there to pay my tribute or to show my sympathy but I was there to create more and more hate in my heart (for whom not very clear but perhaps for such incidents). I had discussion with one of my colleague on my motive as i tried everybody to have such motive.
As an individual I know that nothing will happen just by sitting idle and by complaining about politics but what can I do to answer my own conscious. At present I do not have anything but least I can do is that I don’t forget this incident until and unless some action is taken. …Wait! I think I can say it in better way…until and unless vengeance is taken. By that time, to not to forget this attack like earlier terror attack I will keep on fuelling fire of hate in myself.
Just to update the videos I posted in my last post are bring shown and discussed on news channel “ Headlines Today “. Also, news of one SIMI activist firing in Hyderabad are being shown giving me reason to hate more and more.

Mumbai blast with Pakistani view
It's sad (for me only) that at the time of Mumbai attack i could not cover whole incident as i was at home away from Internet. Not an aproblem, it’s never late.
When we Indians are surrounded with sorrow of loosing our near and dears and pride of India as some bastard came to our land and colored Taj hotel with blood, our neighbour country in which this whole attack was planned is interpreting in totally different way. Just have a look
http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=yvaXOLpZeMs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfYlaF5_q1Y
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F4_qwtM5yY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eij5o7XizIA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQT9cgqdJ6U
But on the same hand after watching this video I felt might be this news channel is some low class channel of Pakistan and trying to get local support and hence broadcasting such programmes and searched for discussion carried out on famous pakistani channel Geo TV.
And found the below video
http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=vNnqYwpf0r0
Now I am really intrested in knowing, what happened 3 days after 9/11.But I do feel something has been spread in Pakistan, which is different from what world knows.

Third law of Attraction (only for software guys)
"Our fate is not decided by an almighty God, We decide our own fate by our actions. We achieve everything by our efforts alone" - This was the quote of the day send by my company HR people to motivate company employees. This may be complete truth in countries where population is less and resources are ample. However i do not undermine veracity of the quote but on the same hand i do not undermine existence of GOD and destiny in our countries. India where it's citizen have to compete not only for career aspirations but even for the basic needs of life (food, water, cloth, education and yes Sex also). So in Indian context customization of the quote is necessary. It should be " Work hard, give your best, keep confidence in yourself and God will bless you what you want"
Now lets break this quote (customized by me) and try to analyze sequence of our role and God's role. First we have to put our endeavours for our duty then only GOD will do is part. But there are some cases where first GOD has to play its part then only we human can do something. Who else than we software guys ( only boys) can understand these situations. Whenever we join new office either directly from campus or from some other company, we hope ( better say dream) of getting a beautiful girl ( Miss Perfect ) around our work area. Working together perhaps we can know each other and perhaps, we can find each other suitable for each other. But........Only few of us get God's blessing. Most of us just keep on waiting and keep on changing company after company or project after project, with this hope. Can we do anything to get a girl around our project. No, we can not and it has to be done by almighty GOD. Hence its the exception of above quotes. My this weired but very common thought motivates me to populace " Third Law of Attraction " just for software guys, in some way similar to Newton's third Law of force. Here it comes
Third Law of Attraction ( Only for Software guys )
" Start praying GOD because only with blessings of GOD you can get a chance to perform and to work towards your goal ( Miss perfect ) "

R u also waiting?
Recently, a blood donation camp was organized in my company premise. In this regard a mail was broadcasted days ago.I am in habit of donating blood but since around one and a half year i could not get the chance to do this noble cause which just takes few minutes and a pure will.So i was really very excited to donate blood.On the day of donation,I asked several of my team members to accompany me but to my surprise most of them denied. I wanted to know why are they not willing to donate blood but no one could give any reason or better to say no one wanted to open that they are afraid of a reason which they neither know nor exist. Anyways, with this impression i reached the venue with a perception in mind, as not many people willing to donate blood so ill go there, donate blood and will be back not in more than one hour. But again to my surprise, lot many people were present there. I had to wait for more than two and half hour to get my turn.Not even this there were some who came from company offices and client locations which are located more than 20 Km from my office campus.Situation could be understood as organisers has to close registration long before (3 Hours) the closing time of the camp because they were afraid otherwise doctors will have to stay whole the night.I was really surprised that with almost same level of education how people differ in their way of thinking and their attitude towards life and society.
While returning, i was thankful to organisers for giving me chance to make my blood useful for others.I wanted to share same with my friends. Back at my flat i shared same with my friend and he gave me one more information ( sharing with friends always gives some added information) about a site where i can register myself and be open for to be contacted by needy people.Now i have registered myself and waiting for 3 months to be passed as i can not donate blood for next three months. I am sharing the same link here so as if anyonee unfortunately lands at this page, he/she gets at least something out of it.
www.friendstosupport.org
By registering, now i will not have to wait for one and half years to donate my blood.So, Are you also waiting ???............

One evening with Coffee and "A Tale of Two Cities"
I hope, starting from my post “Love your LOVEs”, my writing has given strong indications of my introspection to rejuvenate my interests. The very first interest I found is writing as I have started writing, second 2 Gs and the third one I have found is Literature. I remember when I passed my 8th standard and entered in high school ( (back at my native place, high school is considered as the start of career struggle) and was reading one of “Super commando Dhruva Comics book”. My father saw me reading comic book and said “Anuj!! Now you have grown up, so stop reading comic books and jump onto literature.”....... He gave me a book written by one famous Hindi novelist “Shivani”. I don’t exactly remember the book name (perhaps it was ‘Rathya’). Afterwards I read many Hindi novels by Shivani and by some other writers. Thanks papa to develop a love for the books in me.
Yesterday I was alone and was wandering in a shopping mall, busy with window shopping. I had nothing much to do when I passed outside “CROSSWORD”. I went inside and started looking for a book to pass my half hour. Still I had to decide which book I should opt. This was the time I again started thinking which topic or field intrudes me most. Answer was history that too Indian History. I found the book “A Tale of Two Cities”. Basically “A Tale of Two Cities” is a book published in 1859 by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. It depicts the plight of the French proletariat under the brutal oppression of the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution. In the original book the two cities are London and Paris. But the book I had in my hands is written by very famous Indian eminent Kuldeep Nayar and a Pakistani writer Asif Noorani.Here analogy has been done and two cities are represented by India and Pakistan. Both the writer tells their stories of migration between India and Pakistan. The only difference in their stories is, Kuldeep’s migration was forced one and to migrate was a hobson’s choice whereas that of Asif’s was volunteer and was inspired by better business opportunities. I will talk about more about this week later when I finish this book.
Initially, I was apprehensive about this book. Being from saffron family I have always put writers like Kuldeep Nayar, Romila Thapar, in neglected category as in my view they lack respect for ancient Indian History and Heroes that in turn infers proud on our own roots. But later on I started reading the book. Sitting in CROSSWORD, having book in hands, coffee and muffin on table is really a lovely time pass. With every sip of coffee and with every line about scenes in Sialkot in 1947, I started hallucinating an imaginary Sialkot around me. When I finished my time there (I had to as it was closing time for them), I recalled about COFFEE HOUSE in Lucknow where in past all the intellectual of the city used to discuss literature and Shero-shayri.
At the end of day I found something more which really intrudes me, gives me a nice feeling when I think back and inspires me to carry on what I am doing.

2 'G's of my life
On very first instance, topic of this post might look like stolen from blog "2 MODIs of Gujraat" by Rajdeep Serdesai. I would not completely deny it but these two Gs have really been very important in my life. Guess what are these two Gs.One G is easy to guess and other G is also not so difficult to guess. But WAIT!!!!!!.....I should stop behaving like any well known writer ( as Jagsuraiya) who has a great no. of readers.Number of my readers can very easily be judged by comments on my blog page. So no more flaunting, lets come to the topic. These two G stand for Gazals and Girls. Gazal could have been anticipated by my unfortunate regular readers through my last post and Girl could have been anticipated ny any of my friends (just by watching the way i stare girls). My love for these Gs spawned, almost, in the same time period of my life.
I was in 12th standard when i started listening Gazals. Most of the Jagjit Singh gazals, when i listened for the first time,i felt, it was not for the first time.just some beats of Jagjit Singh gazals even from any unkown source, were enough to captivate me.
As earlier i said, my love for the second G unearthed almost in the same time period. It was the time when i me and my family was expecting my "Bhabhi" to gift us with a baby. I was damn sure that i willbe uncle of a baby girl. My true love for G for Girl blessed me with a sweet niece. I still remember those unforgettable moments of my life when i used to have these two G's (physically) arround me. I used to take my niece in my lap, play gazals and used to keep on studying for hours. I used to talk her a lot even when she could not open her eyes. I love my these moments more than anything.
LOVE YOU MY SWEETHEARTS...................

Music brings miracle
I don't remember, in my small life so far, how many times i have overtly or covertly thanked my friend Pankaj. Toady i am again to say him "Thanks" and i don't know how many more times i will have to say, so its better i pretend as if i do not know counting or say "Main pannchvi paas se tez nahi hun".My recent thanks spawns as again he has given me something to write and to make me feel there is something which i still love.
I referred a gazal by Jagjit Singh which i found on youtube and really loved just by listening once.Perhaps my intention was to show him "Look Pankaj, there is one Gazal of Jagjit singh which i am aware of but you are not." However, "i really loved the gazal" is also a fact in the same way as "Sun shines in east" or some other fact in this world.I could not understand most of the worlds of gazal as those were in Urdu but love knows no language boundaries (perhaps it's too much filmy). It has been the case with me forever. I remember, when very first i listened "tum itna zo muskara rahe ho" and "Jhuki Jhuki si nazar", i felt it's not the first time i am listening these gazals. But when and where, it's still a mystery to me only. Afterwards, once i could trace my all time favourite gazal, "Nazar Mujhse Milati Ho", just by listening its music ( i never listened its music earlier to it) being played 2-3 house away from my home.
I never had to put effort to recollect words of his gazals.Perhaps this is the power of music which makes us to do something outstandingly different from our usual characteristics.I have never been a good observer or good listener but in case of gazals i have always been excellent.
Music brings miracle just like words.Music is something which is omnipresent and needs none of our five senses.Someone has said it very beautifully
"Like everything else in nature, music is a becoming, and it becomes its full self, when its sounds and laws are used by intelligent man for the production of harmony, and so made the vehicle of emotion and thought."

love your LOVEs
Since last few days, I am pondering upon all the activities I do. Although this is not my very first "thought process" about myself, this thought process is exclusive as I am not introspecting myself but I am investigating myself. Investigation, like a psychiatrist or a detective or a lawyer does to its patient or client. Purposes of all these professionals are same , that is to delve one's outer as well as hidden personality, to delve one's social as well as personal life, to delve to know something which their client him/herself does not know. The same way I am trying to delve my personality, my likings and my disliking. In past, when people used to ask me what is my disliking? I used to reply with proud and attitude, in this world there are only few things which I do not like. But now there are very few things which I like.
Now I have questions for me only. Anuj, how many works do you do which you enjoy? This question is not so horrifying for me as the next one. Anuj, how many works do I enjoy and would like to do in future ?...
Till now I do not have answers for my own questions. But for my readers (if someone reads it ) I have something from deep my heart. Always do what you like. My words in last line do not infer to not to do what you do not like. Circumstances may compel us to do against our liking. We must do the work for which we have been designated as sometimes we do not need work but work needs us. Still keep on doing what you like otherwise you will be left with no likings.........
