HINDI as NATIONAL language

This has been one of the oldest issues since 1947 I guess. We have also heard of this, as a result of which we know from newspapers that the DRAVIDA movement started in Tamil Nadu. Even now they say in Tamil Nadu people don’t speak HINDI even if they know…same with other languages too….its a kind of language nationalism….this has gone so peak that they support only tamilians in Srilanka, Malaysia etc unconcerned about those nations as separate independent nations….

Every time you speak to a North INDIAN he would say , if you don’t know Hindi, that you should be ashamed because u don’t know Hindi… he feels since it is INDIA, Hindi is the national language , we all Indians need to know it….. As for a language HINDI, I have high regards. But I cannot imagine it that it is the only national language… Then why those 12 languages on the back of INDIAN Currencies…. I have read that those languages are all National languages….. But HINDI and English are NATIONAL level official languages and every state would have its own state level language … this is written clearly and accurately in INDIAN constitution, I have heard of it…. But people would not clearly agree for it… there is nothing wrong in HINDI as national language, but it should be imposed on the whole country because probably 50% of the population knows it…. Also is the thinking so dangerous that it should be made as national language because that only identifies as the we are Indians… I strongly oppose this idea and believe that INDIA as a country is united irrespective of differences in its cultures, religions, languages, creed etc

This is just a personal opinion, nothing against any person, religion or language…am an INDIAN first and then a kannadiga …. But people should think that languages are just the mode for communication, not to be used for narrow political purposes as we have many other important things to worry about……

But if some one has any proof to say that HINDI is not the only national language, please share with me, so that I can add this and clear things with people whom we know…..

Election ೨೦೦೯

The year 2009 did not start with any good auspicious event at all…. It all started with the startling revelation of a chairman of some Service company, that he cheated his trusting employees, his share holders and the general public with whopping 8000 crore rupees. This gentle man, who used to preach all his employees on the qualities of transparency, ethics and honesty had himself, not followed that which lead to his downfall. But the general perception was he alone would not have done this scam single handedly. He should have got some overt support from his management team and covert support from the land mafia, government departments and also sultry politicians. This was the opinion of the general public. Everyone also knew that Mr Former chairman is politically influential and also a filthy rich guy would come out once the general elections are over… People would be waiting for it to see if that really happens. People were also thinking that , if the general elections were not in the corner, central government would not have come forward to nominate a board and facilitate things it had done now.. We have seen how the successive governments have failed our nation irrespective of which party had come to power. We have seen how they have closed the government factories. But may be the reasons could be something else like the apathy of both the employees and management. But here is a private organization which was one of the most admired company, but some , sorry for using this word, bastards had made others feel cheated. People here were working hard to realize the dream of making it a 2 or 3 billion company. Management should have been transparent on things, it should have shared with employees, people would have worked on it and helped the company, they should have asked for the ideas from the simple employees who could have given good tips on what is wrong. Consider this example, a king would never know what the nation is feeling, he should talk to his poorest of poorest peasant to know what is troubling the nation. That’s how the greatest kings of our country had worked; the same country’s education system had told us this. Why did not this management learn? There can be lots of reasons of why this company had flailed like having useless midlevel managers without being bothered about the employees, having non-competent managers at client level, having the non-motivating, aggressive in all bad terms, not so serious on getting projects, tracking and taking things to logical ends, and many more…
But lets forget that for the time being and lets get back to the main issue. Yes this company had fallen from grace, lots of employees were shown door at onsite, many came back because of the market condition, and some lucky people change their organizations at the onsite. Those who came back, some went to bench and some went to projects depending on their lucks. But in midst of all this great team of new management team helped this hapless company to be sold into one another great conglomerate. Hope now things would settle down, yes there are challenges, but yes we have to face it.

Yes, this happened because elections were round the corner.

The second issue was… going by the political leaders’ words….left does not want congress government , congress doesn’t want third front government, BGP + NDA does not want neither the congress or third front government, JDS does not want neither the BJP or congress government, but why…is it because of ideological reasons…..fuck no….its for power… a 80 year former prime minister who is from Karnataka wants to be become PM with his meager 3 or max 10 MPs. Bullshit he does not want to become PM because he can do good deeds , but because he wants to die as a PM in Power… Another gentle man from Gujarat who killed or helped kill ( as this case is with court, I would write what general public is believing) many fellow Muslims wants to become PM because he wants to build ram temple in ayodhya and Krishna temple in Matura…. Do we need the temples now or school….hope he would decide on it soon….public would respond soon…there is one another person from Gujarat, a former deputy prime minister…he wants to become PM because he dreamt to become PM…. A poor dalit lady worth 20000crore wants to become PM because she wants to see a lady and a dalit become PM…this is kind of leaders we have…..but do we need such people, its for us to decide….

Why they are not bothered about real issues. There are many real issues and I would try to list not in any priority list but in general terms…they can take them and give it to specialists and get the priorities corrected….

1. deforestation avoidance
2. river water fights with states to be solved
3. helping farmers to sell the products directly to customers avoiding hoarders and middle men
4. loans to farmers for following scientific farming
5. gay and lesbian rights
6. women rights
7. children’s right
8. Elderly people’s right
9. physically and mentally Disadvantaged people’s rights
10. Building great educational institutions similar to IIT, IIMS etc as proportionate to growing population.
11. patent right protection
12. securing the constitutional rights of the general public
13. securing borders and solving border conflicts with the neighbors
14. increasing a respectable position in the international affairs with non-meddling with other countries internal affairs
15. modernizing the army, navy and airforce
16. modernizing the police and Para military forces for homeland security
17. banning hording
18. giving importance for water supply and planning for future
19. giving importance to improve the power supply for current day and also planning for future requirements and also thinking of alternative sources of power generation
20. creating employment opportunities for all irrespective whether they are skilled or unskilled labor
21. making INDIA a place which attracts people for business and education, investment
22. support the scientific and also the traditional way farming
23. support the skilled labor for small scale industries
24. punish people who are corrupt, and involve in anti-national activities also anti-social activities
25. investing in infrastructure, banks , educational institutions, agriculture, port etc
26. SEZ in areas which are not fit for agriculture purposes
27. bring in 49/O so that people can say whom they don’t want to vote
28. Get the bring back your MLA/MP/CM/PM /Judges if they are not performing well
29. minimum education and life style for all
30. housing for all
31. Mandatory voting from all eligible voters
32. National level Identification card based on strict identification and verification methods which should also be used as a DL, Passport and many other identification records

These are some of the things which we as citizens think are to be taken care by any government. We as citizens expect answers from the politicians to spell their stands on so-called controversial topics like the women’s bill, article 377, gay rights, river rivalries among states etc. Instead of trying to stop someone from coming to power, let these politicians speak of why they want to stop them for wanting of some developmental work to be done etc….hope all of us would vote and elect a responsible government this time. May 17th is the day we know who will form the government and we shall wait till then. till then GOOD BYE

ಚಿರರುಣಿ

ಎಲ್ಲೊ ಕೆಳಿದ್ದೆ ಈ ಮಾತು
ನಿನ್ನ ನೀನು ಮರೆತರೆನು ಸುಖವಿದೆ ಎನ್ದು
ಗೆಳತಿ ನೀನು ಅದನು ನೆನಪಿಸಿದೆ
ನಿನ್ನ ನೆನೆದೆ, ನನ್ನೆ ಮರೆತೆ
ಅದರೆ ನೀನು ತಾನೆ ನನ್ನ ಗೆಳತಿ
ನೆನಪಿಸಿ ಒಳಿತೇ ಮಾಡಿದೆ

ನಿನಗಾಗಿ ಎಲ್ಲರ ತೊರೆದು ಬರುವವನಿದ್ದೆ
ಅದರೆ ನಿನಗೇ ನಾ ಬೆಡವಾದೆ
ನೀನೇನು ತ್ಯಾಗಿ ಅಲ್ಲವೇ
ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ನಿನಗೆ ರುಚಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ
ಅದೇ ಅಲ್ಲವೆ ನನ್ನ ತಪ್ಪು

ಒಮ್ಮೊಮ್ಮೆ ನೆನೆದರೆ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು
ನನ್ನ ಮೇಲೇ ನನಗೇ ಸೊಜಿಗವೆನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ
ಅದರೆ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ಮಾಯೆ, ಸಮ್ಸಾರ ಮಾಯೆ
ಅದನ್ನು ನೀನು ಕಲಿಸೆದೆ
ನಿನಗೆ ಅದಕೆ ಎನ್ದೂ ನಾನು ಚಿರರುಣಿ

One more weird dream

They say the dreams are the visualization of what a person is thinking…some also say that it is the pointer of the greatest force to tell u which way your life would move…

Yesterday I was watching a movie called HOSTEL which is so called horror movie, but it was another useless cannibalism movie…totally a sick movie….. Yesterday too I got the same dream which I have been getting since 5 days…some times I feel that I am a kind of sick guy who tracks his dreams, more over tracking such frightening dreams….

The first day’s dream went like this…. We all friends would be enjoying our time in a place which is something like our 1990’s Bangalore…big veranda…a 200 by 200 plot…a big play ground, a big house and small portion built for rent too… and in front of that house they are big trees across the road. And there is a small circle just a few steps away…. And there is a palace similar to Mysore new palace and a elephant is tied there…. And this elephant, due to some thing, breaks its chains and runs towards the circle. there it sees our house and enters our house,……it will now see that we all friends are playing it chases us….it would leave us even when we enter our house…it would be behind us and ultimately kill us…..

The same dream came for next 3 days….

But yesterday’s dream went beyond it…. It would chase me…I would jump down from the building, and jump over to my neighbors house and at the top there is a small building which this elephant can come and I would save myself and calling my friends to come to that place. Mean while we would somehow kill the elephant….

A weird dream indeed…. But alas am happy that it ended in happy ending in my saving myself and my friends…..
