Dirty Politics

Its been a complete mess in Pakistan with the emergency imposed. As an Indian if you think that you live in better place, then think again. Look at the “state” of Karnataka. I mean, the way BJP and JD(S) have been functioning for last 2 months or so, its really a shameful chapter in Indian democracy.

If you still what I am talking about then listen to this. JD(S) cheif Deve Gowda had established a coalition govertment with Congress 3 years ago. But 12 months in to power, his son decided that they had enough of secular agenda and went to BJP. Now, initially Gowda opposed this move, but later retracted his statements saying it is for the betterment of Karnataka. They had a power sharing “agreement” with BJP, which meant first the Janata Dal will have its CM for 18 months and for next 18 months BJP. Everything was going along nicely until, the time to handover the pwoer to BJP came closer.

Gowda father and son accused BJP of trying to kill them and refused tranfer power. Now, in such a situation any party with self respect would have taken out the support. But no. BJP waited. Their leaders were telling everyone, that the transfer will take place, they have faith in JD(S). Finally, when they realized the truth, the assembly had to be dissolved. Well, I thought the chapter is over now and new phase of election will determine the destiny of these pity parties. But little do I know about politics.............

BJP and JD(S) who accusing each other of treachery came together for one more time, and requested Karnataka Governor to revise his orders, so that BJP can form its government with the support of JD(S). The Governor obliged and Yeddiyurappa, the BJP leader became the first BJP CM in south India. But, yes but, only for 8 days. The new agreement between BJP and JD(S) was not enough for the 2 parties to be glued for next 17 months. JD(S) took out its support and rest is a part of India's hall of shame.

My favorite Dialogue : Vegeta's Respect

I wanted to publish this since long time, but always postponed it, waiting for the right time. Well actually it is not a dialogue, since only one person is speaking.  This dialogue is from my favorite Cartoon serial DragonballZ and is spoken by my favorite character Vegeta . The scene is in the climax of the serial, in one of the final episodes. To give you an idea why I like it, let me give you some idea about DragonballZ . The characters Goku and Vegeta are one of the most important characters in the series. Goku, the protagonist, who is actually an alien from a planet called Vegeta and is one of the last of his race Saiyan . But unlike the Saiyans who are naturally aggressive, fight-loving, brutal, strongest warriors in the world, he is very calm, naive. He hates to be a Saiyan, when he realizes that he belongs to such a killing race. According to his blood line and roots on planet Vegeta, he is a third grade soldier in the Saiyan Army. On the contrary, Vegeta is the Prince o...

Natrang

I seriously don’t remember the last time I watched a Marathi movie in a theater, so according to my memory this was the first time I saw a Marathi Movie in a theater. And where?? The center point of recent controversy, Bharatmata, whose owners have been asked by NTC to vacate the place. Well, I will discuss that point in another post. Now, let us talk about the movie. I must admit it was a pleasure to watch Natrang in Bharatmata. The theater is located in central Mumbai near Lalbaug, which was dominated by Marathi mill workers in the yesteryears. Viraj had gone to PVR Lower Parel to buy the tickets. But since it would have cost us Rs. 150 each, I felt that it was too costly and asked Viraj to watch the movie in some other theater or on some other day. Since, Bharatmata was the nearest theater he decided to go there. I also left from home to join him. When I went there, there was a huge line for ticket. I didn’t tell Viraj but I had just 30 bucks in my wallet at that time, but what y...
