NEP(National Economic planning) Presentation Script.

The wait is over.... the blog is back J

For starters I will be posting my script for National Economic Planning(NEP) which fetched me 81 marks, it was conducted by Prof. Sray Agarwal.

The topic is “Politicians should be asked to work for free”(Against the motion).

“Only a ghost can exists without materialistic property, Only a slave can work with no right to the product of his effort”.

They say Politicians should not be paid, okay than lets not pay them. There are about 543 member of parliament, each getting Rs. 50,000 as their basic salary, thus it amounts to Rs. 32 crores annually. Whereas revenues from direct taxes alone stood at Rs. 3,71,000 crores for the financial year 2009-10, its 0.008% for handling the lives of 1.2 billion people and still they don’t pay them.

The Governor of California gets $165,000 ,a humongous amount, but wait he presides over a budget of 150 billion dollars that’s 7.5 lac crore rupees, and still some say handle such an economy for free.

The main argument that the opposition has given us is that Politics is a social obligation, those who join politics should treat it as a social service, hence work for free. Mamata Banerjee, immediately after winning the west Bengal elections, one of her first statement was the state is in a financial crisis, but she has too look for the means to pay her ministers. Amit Mitra, was a former FICCI general secretary, he used to earn 49 lacs per annum, he treated the finance ministry as a profession. You expect people like him to join politics, if you pay them nothing.

They say, politicians are corrupt, if they are corrupt, govt. Officials are also corrupt, police officials, corporate bodies, all are corrupt, We don’t discuss their salaries, Why such hypocrisy ?

It might mean two things, first being politicians are corrupt and useless, the other being politicians do manage on their own. If politicians are useless, I don’t think we should discuss “they should be paid or not”, we should discuss the political system, I say there should be no political system at all, let there be no democracy, only demonocracy, let their be no waving off loans to the farmers, let the children die of hunger (no mid-day meal schemes),no infrastructure, no banks, no highways, no hospitals...... If you mean that the politicians can manage on their own, we are actually pushing them into more and more corruption, Instead we should say that politicians should be paid more and more salaries that they don’t ever revert back to corruption ever again.

I ask a very simple question, “ Will you work for a social organization for free, for five years?”... If the answer is no, “Will you work, if you are paid ?”

The social organization is nothing but politics my dear friend, thus if mba graduates like us, refuse to join politics for “free”, how can we think of the betterment of the country..

At last, I would like to quote, Ayn Rand from the book “Atlas Shrugged”,

“You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment, We exist for the sake of earning rewards, Threats will not make us function, Fear is not our incentive, It is not death we wish to avoid, But life we wish to live.”

Thank You.

DOSTANA --- FRIENDSHIP/GAYISM ????

It was an usual day..nothing happening,life boring,nothing that can be called "Fun". So decided to visit Sayan. He lives about 15 k.m from my house, so drove in.Reaching his place, Scanned his computer, he said, there is nothing new, the same old stuff. I just went to the tools menu unchecked the hide button, and wholaaa Nothing new indeed..the same old "universal truth" lol.

We decided to have the lunch outside,which is nothing new for us.So drove to Dunlop which is another 10 k.ms i guess. On reaching the place, I saw the highway that leads to the airport huh.. Skipped the lunch at Dunlop took the highway. And that's "fun" driving at 100 odd k.m/hour and and that too in the wrong way lol. We realized, there isn't any roads that could lead us on the right track. So after driving a few k.ms, we saw this platform that stood on the middle of the road. So Sayan and me literally showed the true man power,lifted the bike, put the bike on the right track, quite a task.. 100 we goo./...!!!!

Reached the airport, scanned some really good eye candy and left towards our destination - FOOd.. Sher eh punjab... Had the heavenly tANDOORI CHICKEN. Sayan asked what about vodka, I left my temptation behind, "No sir..have to drive on the highway.."
After having the awesomest food,just outside the restro we saw a gay couple,gosh man,and that too they started hitting on us. We thought we don't look like gays man,but Sayan as usual was into some mischief,he started "Dostana"with the change of hand movement, and the way he was talking to me in front of them,i understood what he was hinting at.And I became John with poor acting, but enough to fool the couple. Sayan sat back,i rode the bike(as usual)and he became cosy and that was really terrible,then but fun when I think about it now. So when they were out of sight,gave this huge red face to him.And we were back to normal sexual life which we share,that is only dostana(that actually means friendship,don't gribble your dirty mind,lol).


P.s - Having a bad day..??? Visit your best friend..You won't regret it.. :)

Why Parents Go Mad ?

A Mother passing by her son’s bedroom was astonished to see that
his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up.

Then she saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow
that was addressed to ‘Mom’ With the worst premonition she opened the envelope
with hands and read the letter.


Dear Mom:

It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and you. I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice. But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercings, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it’s not only the passion… Mom she’s pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter.
We share a dream of having many more children.


Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn’t really hurt anyone. We’ll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy. In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it. Don’t worry Mom. I’m 15 and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I’m sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren.


Love,



Your Son Paul

P.S. Mom, none of the above is true. I’m over at Dustin’s house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report card that’s in my center desk drawer.
I love you. Call me when it’s safe to come home
.



P.S - LOL Lol This isnt written by me,but as soon as I read it,I just couldn't stop myself posting this in my blog.

Changing Attitudes of our Universities

As a student I would like to talk about politics in universities which I have been following after clearing my plus 12 exams. I could have talked about national politics but for that I will require a lot more information and being a lazy person as my friends know, I am bit scary of taking the long route.

"Universities, are no longer ivory towers. They were meant to remain above politics, but are very at the very centre of it." - Deepak Nayyar former vice chancellor of Delhi University.


It is true that our universities are now at the heart of a grim and fractious political scrabble, which has pushed our most prominent deans and academians into exchanging terse, political one-on-ones with our politicians. I have witnessed it very closely during my 6 month student life in Goenka college (one of the Kolkata's prominent college). The path to this state of affairs has been a long way down. Early on, India's educational institutions were at the centre of our most positive iconography - our universities were a source of great pride, which gave Indians, as Nehru said a franker look and straighter back. Forty years on, India centered the 90's in the midst of massive protests against caste based system which was eventually implement recently. The way the protests over the role and control of our universities have protrayed on comments "Its not democracy, Its democrazy".

I personally thought that passing out from ISC approved instituition I would be better off when I land in universities, but on the contrary I was caught up in the beauracratic sink hole of our universities. It is very clear to all that our education system has become inert and incapable of adapting to a rapidly evolving economy, and its best universities are in danger. Their weaknesses have become particularly critical with the rise of the knowledge economy, and as India's legions of youngsters enter instituitions that seem less and less capable of giving them what they need. As a result students are going overseas for higher education. This trend was started with silicon valley revolution when Indian masterminds went to States to get good jobs. Contrary to that situation at present we have far more educated brains (in percentage) going, and/or willing to leave the shores, not only for better lifestyle but for standard education. We students complain about the competion in domestic market which have grown immensely as compared to 50 years ago, but the attitudes of our government have not changed a bit. They still use age - old methods, the syllabus of West Bengal board is still the same, my uncle and most probably my grandfather had studied the same subjects and same syllabus as people of my generation is studying. The embarassing thing is that students are still using age old books in which the measuring unit is pounds, which was abolished since India became a republic state.


In Kolkata, BESU, Presidency college and Jadavpur Uni are always under police scanner. Either there is student clashes or there is a student's strike against the system. These protests hardly bring any changes and the student clashes generally bring student in the headlines but not the agenda.


Guys you all know that the general election is extremely close and the demographic structure suggests that 50% of the voters are in the age group of 18 – 35. We must ensure that we vote for the best leader, not based on the ideologies of a particular political party. Having said that I don’t think there are any who we can vote for, hence we should abolish this voting system. If we do not vote no one will be elected. Or one of us can take the charge to lead. I really hope Pratik the owner of this blog to stand up and lead the countrymen. He has got leadership qualities and with good support he can change this bloody system. We citizens want changes to this current structure, the government runs under gandhi’s and nehru’s philosophies and ideas, which I personally think is obsolete in this global and digital age.

The choice is yours guys!! Make it or break it.


Warm regards

Elections and our universities

Well Ankur Gattani,an iim graduate,an entrepreneur is a gtalk friend. Well when he changed his status to - "Getting Political, Working with BJP! Wanna Join?". I thought I have a companion to debate ,as me a Congess supporter. Soon, i realized our ideologies may be different but we both want our nation to go miles...


me : hey ankur, r u kinda free i just wanted to ask you some questions?

ankur.gattani: ask.

will respond a lil slowly though

ok?

9:01 PM me: yaa ok

well wanted to ask about your political purpose

is it personal or it means business

9:02 PM ankur.gattani: personal

me: ok so are you secular by nature..

ankur.gattani: am an atheist actually

me: nd i m really sorry if i m bothering u like stupid journos

ankur.gattani: but yeah, adequately secular

9:03 PM me: yaah so bjp doesnt believe in secularity nd you are kool with it

9:04 PM ankur.gattani: well. you wanna debate this right now?

me: if u have time

9:05 PM ankur.gattani: see, quickly speaking, the original thought of 'hindu nation' as professed by bjp and other saffron groups

is more of a cultural nationalism

than religious one

yes, there's division

yes, there's hatred in different layers of society

and no one did anything to build the bridge

9:06 PM congress ensured that muslims were treated differently..

so the vote bank lasted

me: well bjp rather nda includes ram sena...

which boosts of hindu culture

ankur.gattani: get yoru facts bro

ram sena fielded 83 candidates against bjp in last elections

me: well the facts are correct..i think

yaa if bjp had any chances of coming into power

me: it wouldnt be without help of ram sena

ankur.gattani: it's a bunch of disgruntled ex bjp guys

me :nd the gujrat riots

by our own narendra modi

to gain the vote bank of hindus

was so fair

me: well yeh i read the hot shots of corporate industry want modi as the p.m

ankur.gattani: this is not about that

anyway

no one around is perfect

9:19 PM no party's full of angels

bjp, when in center.. had behaved fairly responsibly

me: yaah india wud rather grow at 10 but with the expense of blood bath

ankur.gattani: and gujrat.. in 7 years.. hasn't had any further bloodbath

9:20 PM me: further nice term buddy

ankur.gattani: and that matter itself is in the courts

those guilty shall be taken care of.

me: u murder once...nd u dnt murder for the next 7 years so all your guilt is now white washed

yaah rite

nd the babri masjid

9:21 PM ankur.gattani: every saint has a past.. and every sinner a future.

if you look at the mass mobilized during babri masjid issue

and the way mulayam singh had opened fire on the people

9:22 PM I'm not proud of the whole thing, but I don't feel apologetic about it.

being hindu

and having religious sentiments is not a crime

me: well 1 doesnt need to be proud of doings nd at the same time be sorry

9:23 PM its the loss of country men...

jab khud be bithti hai tab pata chalta hai

ankur.gattani: well. perhaps.

me: chalo i dnt say anything about bjp

9:24 PM just wanted to ask you why not congress

i dnt see anything wrong done by it in the last 5 years

except attacking pak

ankur.gattani: no wrong.. isn't all right

me: nd kiilling lakhs of innocent people

9:25 PM ankur.gattani: who killed lakhs of ppl?

me: india growin at 9 a record isnt right

no 1 did

i mean the whole of anti congress wants it to attack pak

nd destroy it

9:26 PM farmers gettin loan waiver

indo nuclear deal

mid day meal scheme

ankur.gattani: dude, it would be naive to believe that anyone wanted to attack pak

politically, diplomatically it's an unwise thing to do

any responsible person. wouldn't do it

and do you realize what loan waivers mean...?

me: well the opposition wants to react right

ankur.gattani: all those farmers.. who tried hard..and paid off their loans

9:28 PM felt stupid for having done so

coz the others.. got away without paying

me: i mean wants the party in powert to react nd do smething

ankur.gattani: so now imagine the state of further loans

that'll be given to these farmers

nwo that there's a precedent of waivers

make a whole community of workers lazy, and dependent on you.. so tehy keep getting you back to power

me: well hehe...

9:29 PM lazy rather getting sucided

farmers lazy they never are

ankur.gattani: yeah

why not.

me: being generous doesnt mesn to make ppl lazy

ankur.gattani: and well, there are options between things

9:30 PM including support prices and other things

loan waivers.. are a slap in the face of those who took loan repayment seriously

and now the whole farmer finance process.. will be screwed up

don't invest in infrastructure

9:31 PM or build processes that will get growth

me: well hey it was waived for one time and in the existing market scenario

where farmers where highly in debt

ankur.gattani: spend trillions.. on waiving off loans

and make ppl happy

so they keep coming back to you

me: nd could never repay them back

ankur.gattani: and you keep doing it again

me: atleast the party encouraged them to lead a new liufe

life

ankur.gattani: how simple. isn't it?

9:32 PM me: so u want them dead...

the per capita income declines

ankur.gattani: sorry dude. if you're only gonna talk in extremes

me: they be in further disturbance

ankur.gattani: i have no debate further.

me: well as u said difference in opinion

9:33 PM ankur.gattani: the naivete of the intelligent.. is an unfortunate thing to happen in a democracy.

they give you a story

you buy it happily

after 50 years of rule

me: i could say the same thing brother

ankur.gattani: why is farmer suicide a situation in teh first place?

me: u buyed the story of bjp workers

9:34 PM who might are using your website to promote their campaign

well u can ask your leaders

nd judge the numbers

wen bjp was in power

9:35 PM ankur.gattani: what numbers?

farmer suicides?

me: numbers of farmer suicide during bjp rule

ankur.gattani: dude 50 years of rule and 5 years of tenure

adn if you were to blame bjp for it.. then well. what do we say!

9:36 PM anyway. individual debates can go on and aon

i'm on the task to set right whatever i feel is wrong with the bjp.. and though i believe congress is a gone case.. you're most welcome to try your luck changing it for the better!

me: well to be truthful i joined the sfi

ankur.gattani: which is what?

9:46 PM me: were "dadas" were nothing much than

preached the "big grand old dadas"

so hated it much more

i wish i wasnt in bengal

well but i like it here

9:47 PM i just wish i can see bengal rising with my country

ankur.gattani: except one remark, you were fine.

me: well me kinda bachcha

still learning


Well this is just a zist of a long long convo, i dont know how you people will react to this,and I don't care if believe in my ideologies or of Ankur's. I would just like to ask a question," If the youth, doesn't stand and do something for this country,who will? Yeh who will..?".

P.S - If you think, you are not the one "chosen",please vote, a vote can make all the difference.

The awesomest thing


I always wondered what would be the answer for the craziest thing done by me. Hmm, the brothel story doesn't fit, as me still a virgin, blind date was a spoiler,use and throw gfs, is not my cuppa tea.

In this quest of knowledge, I came across th
is totally crazy group and an idea sparkles what about a tattoo, no not for the sake of doing it,but ain't it be cool. So got quite excited about the feeling of a tattoo on my body,(the feeling aroused before Ghajini promos went on air). As the protagonist of the movie Gajini,was looking for Gajini, I went on a search for a good tattoo artist based in kolkata. I realized soon, tattoos aren't cheap and neither there are good tattooists in kolkata. So I came across this really chilled out guy Bitan Da,who was of great help.

So finally the d-day arrived,my hands were shaved. The machine was ready, and it started, "Not bad", I thought,"doesn't pain much".Then the long strokes came,"I have to bear it,my choice of Shiva huh",then the really long strokes of the Shiva hairs,"Are you kidding,does it pain,it doesn't right,the blood isn't artificial huh",I tend to talk as madly as possibly to myself. After the f** shadings and all,and 3 1/2 hours of no pain,the tattoo was completed.
The Shiva was actually looking like a rock-star(the Shiva version of 20Th century).I noticed i couldn't lift my hands."No pain,no gain",i thought.

Then after few days I thought the tattoo isn't crazy enough,so my thirst for doing crazy thing
is still on.Then I realized when you get a tattoo you want more,so a Jesus and a Mecca is what i can gift to myself for being noble and secular.

P.S - the wish-list that come to my mind every 15 min. may change in due-course of time.

Pratik.

Beautiful BONDI

Hey guys this is my first post. My friend Pratik had given me this grand idea of expressing with words. So here I am,,
I came here in March 2008 and since then I am enjoying my life. I assume you guys have read 'The Three Mistakes of my Life' by Chetan Bhagat. Well I hav read that book, it was pretty good especially the moment when the three friends were in Bondi. Having read that I thought of checking out some hot naked girls at the beach.

It was the 2nd day of this year, I had got nothing to do. Entire family is in India and somehow I did not have work that evening. I thought of spending the hot afternoon in Aussie way. So after my lunch, which was limited to two sandwiches (my limited ability to cook accompanied by the excitement of Bondi Beach) i head off to Bondi beach.

I reached the beach at 2:45pm, the place is very attractive (not because of beautiful girls but the beautiful hills surrounding the beach. Noone was there with me so I was at liberty to do things according to my wish. I took out my beach towel and my shirt laid down on the sand half naked. To my fortune I could not see any naked girls around me, I was extremely disappointed and started reading a book (I could not have done better). Well time was passing by and my craze has hit the lowest since I have read about Bondi. Anyways my eyes was searching for something special, I saw quite a few women in bikini, but i was least interested in bikini girls.. though they were very very hot.

Suddenly I felt my body shivering in the cold weather, no trace of sunlight and chilly winds blowing past my ears made me motionless. At that point of time a hot girl came to me and asked for a cigarette, no guy can say 'No' and so I hand over one to her. she sat beside me. She was wearing a green coloured bikini. She was an Irish though, she started enquiring about my life my hobbies and all. I hate these talks, I was every cold, mercury would have dropped to 20 degree with chilly sea wind blowing across my face. I put back my shirt on but of no use I was still cold. she touched my hand and felt my shivering. She then kissed me and with a matter of time she pulled back my shirt. We were kissing each other passionately, as it was a public place I could not do anything more which I would love to do. After 20 mins of foreplay I asked her why cant I see naked girls on the beach. She gave a naughty look and said "this fucking government has banned it. They want to attract tourists Islamic countries and for that they have introduced this stupid rule".
I thought I am pretty late, I should have come here before govt's decision. Anyways I came back with a sorry face and a sad heart...

I am looking to go to Manly beach because this rule has not been implement there as of yet. Guys please pray for me,, so that i can make it in this summer before that stupid rule is implemented and the weather remains sweaty hot......

did you like the story guys, feel free to comment,,

Warm regards
Aniruddh
