"WE"

The Jan Lokpal Bill aims to effectively deter corruption, redress grievances of citizens, and protect whistle-blowers. If made into law, the bill would create an independent ombudsman body called the Lokpal (Sanskrit: protector of the people). It would be empowered to register and investigate complaints of corruption against politicians and bureaucrats without prior government approval.( As Described in Wikipedia)

The man, the Hero, the god Father to this mission : Anna Hazare

As the mission got started, the 'WE' started

a) Adding the message fb wall, liking the posts (the first and easiest way of showing our thoughts), taking it to heart and vouching to never pay corruption
b) Some of us were joining the movements (taking tickets/or being a part of grp)
c) Praising the Anna for his vision, "Jai Anna"

The sessions in parliament have flown by, each and every wording's in the bill have been ripped through (some one said and I quote "Law is made complex, to ensure that people behind the creation safeguard their positions for Generations to come, if it was easier then they would be jobless/powerless"), the govt have sometimes gone left, sometimes right and our very famous Lalu vomited his inference to shake the floor. Even if Lok Shabha agrees, Rajya Sabha (where mostly learned people, independent of electoral representation) need another couple of seasons to read through it (Scholarly house it is). But, this is not the main problem, yes they are doing their best to keep corruption alive and ensuring that accountability doesn't become a parameter to gauge them. For me, the most relevant part is the same "WE"

The "WE" today with time (not generalizing, but may be this is a trend, i hope not)

a) It's my work, if i can pay a broker and get it done, i will prefer it after all it is my personal one. I can't wait for it to happen, money will get it done (read : ex NIT, W friend Kush's post, and was happy that he was an exception, Kudos Kush for going to Police station and not paying the Hawaldar his share to close the incident, hope you remain so and set many more examples).
b) Who will go man, every day there is something or the other and then their air travel tickets are being paid by us, who is paying me for travelling ? I rather not go by taking a leave first and then paying for my own travel to see nothing change.
c)Man Anna has gone for another "FAST", he is overdoing it now


The "WE" cycle goes on ! Hope the "WE"can turn somethings into actions like my dear friend Kush as we call him !

Y am i writing this ? I am also the "WE"

FAQ's

1.5 years, life in 3 countries and they remain the same. Dedicated to gonna be European friends/acquittance's !


--> Are all Indians Hindu's ?

Though majority are, we have all religions. If you don't like any we end up following baba's and amma's.

--> Do you also eat with Hands (with all sort of facial expressions)?

Yeah, I do. Indian cuisine with hands tastes better. Try next time when you have our food, you will feel the difference.

-->Do you Speak Indian ?

Excuse me, we have a common language which is Hindi. Gosh, again, please don't mock up a synergy like French, Spanish, Italian.

-->Is Cricket your national sport ?

Nope, National sport is HOCKEY, but yeah Cricket in India is like football to Brazil.

-->You are vegetarian, is it to do with your religion ?

No sir/madam. I am really a wrong sample representing India when it comes to eating, apologies. We have people who will give any one a run for money and they are a growing majority.

-->How can you decide in one meet and accept her/him for life ?

Seriously i have no clue. But, may be one of the reason for less divorces. It is a marriage of two families, much beyond two involved (movies help out man.

-->Bollywood movies have songs and dancing - Hilarious ?

By movies we mean fun. It is a package for us. Dancing, singing, fighting and jokes fulfill our movies and make them rich.

-->Who is the most famous actress, the girl from Slumdog ?

Nope, she is just OK, I would even say we could get a makeup less F.Pinto in our streets and guys wouldn't care, but the best of this generation would be some one like Aishwarya Rai.



PS : To all my Indian's friends, seems that we need to storm this part of the world more and give these chaps an exposure to our culture like we did to Americans :P

5 Reasons Why MAN U will win the CL 2011

a) Sir Alex and Man U would have conquered the long dream of 19th championship. Momentum, calmness, strength and flair will all be with them.
b) Team Man U will play attacking brand of football for 90 minutes with flanks exploding with pace and trickery, in Rome it lasted only 30 minutes and everything went through CR, lessons learnt, Old fox can't be outfoxed again.
c) Schmeichel ended his Manchester United career with 1999 treble so too will Van de Saar with the 2011 double.
d) It is being played in WEMBLEY 60000+ cheering for the Red Devils, Barca’s playing and acting both will give in.
e) Historically neither team has won two consecutive matches, do I need to say more ?

Man U 2-0 !

Will PEP end up doing a ROGER

As it turned out Jose has done it again, though he had to surrender his 10 years of Invincibility at home. It would be a mammoth task for any manager to land a trophy at a new club in less than 12 months let alone do that in 4 different countries. Tribute to the SPECIAL ONE as a new era begins, an era where rivalry will take the sport to unparallelled heights, the winner for sure will be the game.

We have enjoyed the dominance and play of this Barcelona team under PEP, like we enjoyed Roger's dominance of Slams. But the best thing that happened to tennis was when a tireless tenacious 19 year old decided to run down every ball and topple the strength of Roger to a misery under pressure (the lethal one handed backhand wilted and still misses the lines against Nadal).

Here comes the parallels, Barcelona take your breath with one touch passing, sublime 7 second pressing off the ball and truly produce magical football, something similar to what Roger brings to Tennis - Elegance and Perfection. Treat to eyes, moments galore. But such dominance needs spice otherwise it could put off the neutrals and would never appeal to newer audience. To take the sport to the next level you need a rival and finally PEP has his task cut out. Real Madrid with Jose at the helm are molding themselves into a Nadal - Speedy, Tenacious and Never give up (wear your opponent out mentally and mistakes will give you Victory). The parallels dont stop there. Nadal made clay his fortress, improved on grass and then humbled Roger on Hard courts. Bernabeau will be a fortress (jose 10 years of management is a proof for it), neutral venue will give madrid 50:50 chance of winning the match and at Valencia they showed what they are, and it will be a matter of time before Barcelona would be pressurized at Catalan. But for now the philosophy of Barcelona will be under the Jose pump and if Champions league tie over two legs doesn't go their way (they still are the overwhelming favorites) then people would call this philosophy of elegant football as uni-dimensional. No matter how many trophies you win, as the best in sport you always want to win that extra against your nearest rival.

The ball truly is in Pep Gaurdiola's court. Will he stick to his philosophy of elegant one touch football or go the Manchester United way of giving up pleasure for results. Do his players have what it takes to deliver on Big occasions against such rivals (Roger attacking the net against Nadal though keeps the point short he doesnt get the major chuck going his way)?

Only time will tell but for the moment let us enjoy the remaining 2 EL clasicos this year and minimum couple more next season (after which PEP being smart for sure would phase himself out, his engine Xavi would be 30 and wouldnt be the same to feed the little under 5.7 strikers to keep netting).

What better that a tactically brilliant coach with a ready to die team testing his wits against technically brilliant coach with a machine team at the biggest stage "Champions Legue". For sure Barca could wake up and show the kids of RM that it could take longer or Jose might end up having the last laugh.

Will PEP end up doing a ROGER ??
