The times of today demand that we people of India needs desperate change of politics on which our lives and future depend on. Every small change, every small contribution from each one of us is needed to help make difference to the life we live, for the better. I came across Section 49-O before but did not pay much attention. My dear friends, please read, understand and use section 49-O if needed.
What is Section '49-O'?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/49-O
Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!
Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".
Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received "49-O" votes more than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and will have to be re-polled. Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them. This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a
feature to the public....
Please spread this news to as many as you know... Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India... show your power, expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting... so don't miss your chance. So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on...
Jai Hind.

Terror in Mumbai
The Terror attack on Mumbai was despicable, cruel and cowardly. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims and thier families. We would also like to salute and thank our hereos ( The commandos, the Indian soldiers, Navy's MARCOS, the police, brave employees at hotels ) who fought bravely rescueing the hostages.
Let us hope that this unfortunate event wakes up our political establishment in tackling terror more firmly with a determined will.
Other notable thoughts(just my opinion) :-
-- I was so angry with this incident that part of me wanted to go and fight with terrorist myself.
-- Our real heroes ( soldiers, commandoes and firefighters ) were transported in local transport bus whereas our cricketers always get the best of luxury. Not saying cricketers should not get luxury buses, but why should we ignore our real heroes.
-- After India won T20 Cricket cup, central government and states were scrambling to shower cricketers with millions of dollars. Why is no one doing the same with our real heroes?
-- One silver lining was that local bystanders gave standing ovation to our real heroes and watching that my eyes were numb for first time. It was like I was watching patriotic movie. I hope people do not forget this love for our heroes and our country.

Is this human?
Disgusting, criminal, pathetic, sickening, horrifying, shocking, .... I just cannot come to terms the word I can use to represent the above video. Apparently due to some college function pamplets not printing name of college in full(or something like that), students started a fight which after looking at the video just seem gory.
I know we all have difference but beating relentlessly a fallen human for full five minutes and that too by students of law college is beyond my imagination. How low can parental upbringing be of people who resorted to such criminal and senseless violence? Also seen in video are policemen watching all this gory violence 'helplessly'. I say helplessly coz I was said that cops would get into trouble politically if they do thier job. I guess that is the way we Indians have got used to and will live with.
Google with keyword 'chennai college fight' for news links.
God bless us, I can only pray.

Interesting and informative.
1 If you are right handed, you will tend to chew your food on your right side. If you are left handed, you will tend to chew your food on your left side.
2 If you stop getting thirsty, you need to drink more water. For when a human body is dehydrated, its thirst mechanism shuts off.
3 Your tongue is germ free only if it is pink. If it is white there is a thin film of bacteria on it.
4 The pupil of the eye expands as much as 45 percent when a person looks at something pleasing.
5 Laughing lowers levels of stress hormones and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day.
6 Dalmatians are born without spots.
7 Bats always turn left when exiting a cave.
8 The 'v' in the name of a court case does not stand for 'versus', but for 'and' (in civil proceedings) or 'against' (in criminal proceedings)
9 Men's shirts have the buttons on the right, but women's shirts have the buttons on the left
10 The reason honey is so easy to digest is that it's already been digested by a bee.
11 Roosters cannot crow if they cannot extend their necks
12 Every time you sneeze some of your brain cells die
13 When hippos are upset, their sweat turns red
14 Google is actually the common name for a number with a million zeros
15 The attachment of the human skin to muscles is what causes dimples
16 Human hair and fingernails continue to grow after death
17 The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets
18 Most soccer players run 7 miles in a game
19 The only part of the body that has no blood supply is the cornea in the eye. It takes in oxygen directly from the air
20 In most watch advertisements the time displayed on the watch is 10:10 because then the arms frame the brand of the watch (and make it look like it is smiling).
21 The only 2 animals that can see behind itself without turning its head are the rabbit and the parrot
22 Women blink nearly twice as much as men
23 If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural cause.
24 The human heart creates enough pressure while pumping to squirt blood 30 feet!!
and last one is the best...
25. A real diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip.

Indian Politics
Mayawati installs 100s her own statues, Amar Singh at his usual nonsense, Mamata driving away Tata Nano, ..., and now Raj Thackeray in news again for inciting violence in Maharastra.
How in India they managed to breed with thier selfish, dirty politics without any concern for people and country. I am just amazed by thier bold ways which seem to only go worse day by day. On deep thinking, I think we all have to seriously put some effort in making sure that these politicians do not take us for granted.
As for violence and damage, all politicians should be made responsible for any and all damage to public property. Until and unless all dues are recovered, politicians should be made to rot in prison. All the trouble mongers in street should be dealt with stern law.
This is not to say that I do not care about the concerns marathi or state local population have. Being born in Mumbai and lived through different parts of world, I totally understand the feelings of locals. But Violence is not the means of solution to any problem in world. especially when only innocent people are victims. Sad part is politicians who incite violence do so in thier own comfort zone. Only common people suffer and that is you and me.
Friends - Do whatever you can to educate people about cruel and selfish leaders. Today we may keep queit, tomorrow we might be victim ourselves and no one would be there to help. Act today!

Movie Week
This past week, I got to see two Hindi movies. Both are must watch.
Movie 1 - Hello ( Sharman Joshi, Sohail Khan, ....)
This movie revolves around life at call centre. Somehow I liked this movie and think after long time there was some movie to keep me seated throughout the end. No I never worked at call centre but it was still interesting...
Movie 2 - Gunda ( Mithun Chakraborty classic...)
Less said the better about this classic movie. Just make sure you leave your brains out. Yeah I know am still recommending this movie and that is because you will know only when you watch it.
Check out this movie at http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=gunda&hl=en&emb=0#
N-Joy.

Parents
As most of the time, just posting here one good email forward which I think we all should read. It's about respecting and taking care of parents. I think I do and I hope you all are doing every bit you can.
Following is the extract.
--------------------------
Conversation... This was narrated by an IAF pilot to IIT students, during a special seminar on HUMAN RELATIONS.
My parents left for our native place on Thursday and we went to the airport to see them off. In fact, my father had never traveled by air before, so I just took this opportunity to make him experience the same. In spite of being asked to book tickets by train, I got them tickets on Jet Airways.
The moment I handed over the tickets to him, he was surprised to see that I had booked them by air. The excitement was very apparent on his face, waiting for the time of travel. Just like a school boy, he was preparing himself on that day and we all went to the airport, right from using the trolley for his luggage, the baggage check-in and asking for window seat and waiting restlessly for the security check-in to happen.
He was thoroughly enjoying himself and I, too, was overcome with joy watching him experience all these things. As they were about to go in for the security check-in, he walked up to me with tears in his eyes and thanked me. He became very emotional and it was not as if I had done something great but the fact that this meant a great deal to him. When he said thanks, I told him there was no need to thank me.
But later, thinking about the entire incident, I looked back at my life. As a child how many dreams our parents have made come true. Without understanding the financial situation, we ask for cricket bats, dresses, toys, outings, etc. Irrespective of their affordability, they have catered to all our needs. Did we ever think about the sacrifices they had to make to accommodate many of our wishes? Did we ever say thanks for all that they have done for us? Same way, today when it comes to our children, we always think that we should put them in a good school. Regardless of the amount of donation, we will ensure that we will have to give the child the best, theme parks, toys, etc.
But we tend to forget that our parents have sacrificed a lot for our sake to see us happy, so it is our responsibility to ensure that their dreams are realized and what they failed to see when they were young, it is our responsibility to ensure that they experience all those and their life is complete. Many times, when my parents had asked me some questions, I have actually answered back without patience. When my daughter asks me something, I have been very polite in answering. Now I realize how they would have felt at those moments. Let us realize that old age is a second childhood and just as we take care of our children, the same attention and same care need to be given to our parents and elders. Rather than my dad saying thank you to me, I would want to say sorry for making him wait so long for this small dream. I do realize how much he has sacrificed for my sake and I will do my best to give the best possible attention to all their wishes.
Just because they are old does not mean that they will have to give up everything and keep sacrificing for their grandchildren also. They have wishes, too. Take care of your parents; it's your turn.

Changing times.
Here's nice cartoon and a joke with good moral. Not related but still kindof common. Got these in my email inbox and thought to share with ya'll.
How Technology changed us...
Herez a good one.
Apparently, a self-important college freshman attending a recent football game took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.
'You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one', the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. 'The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon. Our space probes have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, ships and electric and hydrogen cars, cell phones , computers with light-speed processing.. .and more.'
After a brief silence, the senior citizen responded as follows:
'You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young....... .so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little shit, what are you doing for the next generation?'
The applause was amazing....

60 Minutes
Recent catastrophic events like earthquakes, tornadoes, storms, flooding left many people homeless both in developed and developing world. Most of them were aware of the impending disaster about to strike them and some were kind of caught unaware.
Watching the news along to get the updates, I could notice that lot of people were warned about impending danger to thier homes and Police, rescue teams and volunteers were asking people to get out of thier home and head to safer places. People were scrambling to pack few bags for immediate survival from thier home soon to be destroyed. In one such after-disaster interview, I saw few people repenting not able to take thier important belongings out of the house. This left me intrigued. I was wondering what would I be doing if I was in such a bad situation.
My question to you is say one fine day, someone comes knocking at your door, and tell you about some impending disaster, and that you have just 60 minutes to pack and leave the place, how ready are you? Are you well organized to take decision, pack and leave in 60 minutes? Will you grab documents? Money? Jewellery? clothes?....
In cases like earthquake you have less than a minute, for tornadoes you have less than 30 minutes and for cyclones maybe couple of hours. In any case, very less time. So how ready are you? Think!!!

Officeworld
It was beautiful, bright and sunny friday afternoon. Being friday, I am in good mood and all excited. Calender pops up to remind that I have to be in meeting in next 15 minutes. For a meeting wherein you are about to be demonstrated some new technology and application for next 60 minutes, you wouldn't dampen your mood. But 10 minutes into the meeting, here I am yawning and desperately trying to stay awake.
Problem was that the presenter was just too engrossed in his slides and himself that he had no idea that he was addressing the meeting. All I could hear blah-blah-umm-blah-blah. I wanted to ask him question, I wanted him to ask the question but no. He just had his rant on. This is where I realized that why some classrooms are so boring. Teachers or presenters just do not involve students or audience in the discussion. I really wish they crack relevant jokes, ask questions, take questions, or whatever it takes to involve people in room.
Okay, not all of teachers/presenters are boring but you can easily find out why. I just hope I dont land up with such yawning room.
Check out these pictures that depict( in humor and yet kind of real) the world of office. I find these related to my officeworld and that is also the reason I spend few seconds everyday to visit dilbert.com.

lines to remember..
Best of forwards to me, from my email inbox.
Some of these are pretty good...
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.
3. Its always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
4. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
5. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.
6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
7. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
8. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
9. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is probably not for you.
10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
11. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably a wise investment.
12. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

Upgrades, Installation and Uninstallations...
This is email forward I received from a friend and I thought it funny enough to share with you all...
Dear Tech Support Team:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0.
I soon noticed that the new program, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activities.
Applications such as BachelorNights 10.3, Cricket 5.0, BeerWithBuddies 7.5 , and Outings 3.6 no longer runs, crashing the system whenever selected. I can ' t seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications.
I ' m thinking about going back to Girlfriend 5.0 , but the ' uninstall ' doesn ' t work on Wife 1.0.
Please help!
Thanks,
"A Troubled User"

Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem that people complain about.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0 , thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program.
Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!!
It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 5.0.
You cannot go back to Girlfriend 5.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed not to allow this.
I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.
The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.
Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean 2.5, Sweep 3.0, Cook 1.5 and DoLaundry 4.2. However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program NagNag 9.5 . Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Sarees 2.1 and Jewellery 5.0
STATUTORY WARNING : DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With ShortSkirt 3.3 . This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Saying
Found this line somewhere recently, liked it.
‘Love is not about finding the right person, It’s about creating the right relationship; It’s not how much love we have in the beginning, But how much love we build in the end.’
Hope you all are having fun....I am.
