Digvijay, Dhoni and others....

Hi...
It was a very sad second half of the day with the Dadar blasts happening. My condolences to all the dead and injured, may god bless them and their souls.
After the blast, it becomes a game to get into the media and put forward your point of view. Interviews, expert comments etc..
an important statement came from Rahul Gandhi, gen. sect. Congress....you can read it here...
Rahul Gandhi`s statement on Mumbai blasts 2011 (Times of India,13th July 2011)

I agree with Rahul that it’s not possible to stop each and every terrorist attack. However, the indifferent manner in which he gave the statement shows off his unconcerned attitude towards the victims. It seems like the whole incident appeared to him like a minor accident.

On the other hand, Digvijay’s statement shows that his indifference and non-concern is way beyond Rahul’s. He says India’s situation is much better than Pakistan where blasts keep happening every week.

This really makes us ask – Are they waiting for a situation where a blast takes place every week? When we will have a Pakistan-like situation, only then will the matter become serious?

These comments coming from the hot shots of the ruling Congress party clearly proves that we have elected inhuman people to govern us who themselves are a terror.

I have no shame in saying that even the British wouldn’t have been so inhuman!

If Rahul or Digvijay loses a loved one in some blast, only then they will realize how serious a terrorist attack can be.

Now to Dhoni, I don`t blame him for going for runs in the last test in West Indies. Obviously he would have discussed it with the coach Duncan Flectcher. Now think of a scenario, you are a coach of the number 1 test team of the world, the ODI world champions and the one with the most successful and powerful boards in cricket. The board that would shower you with money and perks if you win....but would throw you out like a fly from tea if the team looses.

You can see Gary Kirsten, the most successful coach of India received almost as much as the cricketers for winning the WC 2011 and making the team number 1 in tests.

Here are the stats of Duncan Fletcher`s coaching stint for England Click here . You will see a lots of draws in there. I for once think that he is a coach who doesn`t like to loose and would rather draw the test then loose it. If Dhoni would have put his foot down, he could have moved himself up the order and pushed for win, but if he would have lost, then it would have been an embarrassment completed for India in this test.

Now off to England, who are desperately trying to prove themselves a real contenders for the number 1 crown in tests. It`s their home ground and their atmosphere and they have their tail up after beating a Murli less Srilankans.

On a more personal note, I have been reading the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips...and really it takes a lots of stress off your mind. I am also fascinated by that kid`s imagination. Man, I really want to ask my parents if I had such a creative imagination when I was 6-7 years old??

Delhi Belly, D.K.Bose and others....

Hi to everyone... Hope you are enjoying the Mumbai monsoons rains... :)

Well I just saw Delhi Belly and really thanked god that I had come to the movie with my friends. The level of language and expletives used in the movie can only make it a hit in a generation who think d.k.bose is a very good song as compared many songs..just because the way d.k.bose is used in the song. I am not in favor of having movies with expletives being made just because the younger generation wants to see it. I am also not a fanatic but definitely it is just wrong to "cleverly" use a combination of words which spoken in a loop sound like an Indian expletive.

I know all of you have heard, seen the song but still Click here to YouTube video of the song.


I have no problems with the movie as it is advertised as sex-comedy, I have problems with songs like d.k.bose being aired in prime time slots. How did the Censor board of India overlooked the fact that children of age 12-13 and below can hear this song, and with all the hoopla about the movie, they can ask their elders what d.k bose or bose d.k. mean.

Telling them the real meaning is not anyone wants to know. Some might say ki aaj kal toh har koi gaali deta hai. Well that is because they saw some one else doing so, felt it was cool and followed.
Small children learn and copy what their elders do. If you are gonna curse your way through every damn sentence, than fine, don`t be shocked when your 4-5 year old comes and greets you with the same words you unknowingly let out.

My generation (born in late 1980s and early 1990s) were fortunate enough to have that filter, through which information came through. If there is no one in your family that swears every sentence, you children would not learn it. My parents or the circle in which they took me, never used expletives, at least I didn`t heard them using it. Hence I don`t use profanities, though I admit I know a lot of them, but I don`t go around using them in every sentence.

My generation feels that using profanities, both Hindi and English are cool, the hip thing because they see it around them. If a person does not cuss, friends or peers ridicule him/her,(yes...girls can beat boys anytime when it comes to profanities...). Peer pressure is not limited to just drinking, smoking etc , it works hear also.

Films and TV are mediums that affects large number of people at the same time. Film makers need to show some responsibility what they are catering, because youth follows what their idols do on screen. A girl or a guy of 15-19 years of age mindlessly follow their role models, clothes, haircut, style etc.
Please keep that in mind while attempting to write another "D.K.Bose" in future for the sake of creativity.

I write what I think, the above post may sound like many other posts written on various blogs, newspapers,website. But I don`t think that many people of this generation, which loves such things would have written criticizing the song.

Just think of it, next time when a 4-5 yr old kid comes and ask u the meaning of D.K.Bose , you might not tell that kid, but he will eventually come to know and think at least for once how did they allow such song, in prime time?

Until next post... take care..and keep smiling

Introduction.

Well being my first post, why don`t I let it be just something of a casual post. Something about me.
I am Jatin Sharma, I live in Palghar, Maharashtra with my family. I did my schooling and graduation from Boisar.
I then proceeded to do my MBA from Dr.D.Y.Patil University, Navi Mumbai.
I also play cricket for a club in Boisar, well I am crazy for cricket, music and fiction novels.

Social media excites me a lot. Not just as a way to pass time or to connect with my friends and relatives. All of us know the potential of Social networks as a way to add a different dimension to the business. A way to market your business, products,work, basically anything.

Hence social media has become a very lucrative and viable career option.

More on this to come...
