HUMOUR -CELLPHONE ETIQUETTE

DO WE INDIANS LACK CELLPHONE ETIQUETTE?. DO WE USE OR MISUE CELLPHONES?
IT IS COMMON PRACTICE IN INDIA TO USE CELLPHONES WHILE DRIVING, A FEW
OF THEM DIAL NUMBERS WHILE DRIVING EXPECTING A NOBEL PRIZE FOR THEIR
FAST REFLEXES. A NOTICEABLE TREND IS CELLPHONE JAYWALKERS EXPECTING
A QUICK TICKET TO THE HEAVENS. WHEN A CELLPHONE RINGS IN A GROUP YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO EXCUSE YOUR SELF AND MOVE TO A QUITE CORNER, HOW MANY OF US DO THIS. TWO WHEEL DRIVERS ARE GOOD AT CELLPHONE ACROBATICS.
MANY OF THEM HAVE THE CELLPHONE GLUED TO EARS, WITH THE SHOULDER'S SUPPORTING THE PHONE FROM FALLING. IT IS COMMON TO SEE SO MANY OF THESE MOTORCYCLISTS. THE OTHER DAY A FRIEND OF MY CAME FROM SWEDEN.
HE SAW ABOUT 10 GUYS TALKING WITH CELL PHONES SUPPORTED BY THEIR SHOULDER'S, HE ASKED HOW COME YOU HAVE MANY HUNCH BACKED GUYS IN YOUR
COUNTRY. I TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS CELLSYNDROME. HE ASKED ME IF IT WAS A NAME OF A NEW DISEASE.

LATHI RAGE AND COPS

DECCAN CHRONICLE MAY 28 2006 : SI SUSPENDED FOR NOT CO-OPERATING WITH ENQUIRY




A TRAFFIC COP TRIES TO STOP TWO MOTORCYCLISTS TRYING TO DODGE HIM
ON A BUSY TRAFFIC JUNCTION. A LATHI BLOW ON THE HANDLE BAR
OF THE MOTORCYLE. THE MOTORCYLE SKIDS ON TO THE ROAD DIVIDER
ONE KILLED ON THE SPOT ON THE SPOT THE OTHER SUCCUMBS THREE
DAYS LATER. DUE YOU CALL THIS POLIICE EXCESS? DID A TRIFLE TRAFFIC
OFFENCE MEAN A DEATH SENTANCE TO THE MOTORCYCLISTS? WHO EMPOWERED
THE COP TO STOP A SPEEDING MOBIKE WITH A LATHI? WHY THE BENEFIT OF
DOUBT WAS NOT GIVEN TO THE MOTORCYCLISTS? JUMPING THE LINE WAS NO A
MAJOR OFFENCE. THE MOTORCYLISTS WERE NOT DREADED CRIMINALS ON THE RUN. THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT IN CRICKET IS ALWAYS GIVEN TO THE BATSMAN.

UNCIVIC SENSE

Do we care for our fellow citizens? Do we lack basic civic sense? Last year a
Bank Manager was washed away in a drain gutter, the drain lid was stolen. A hue and cry was raised. The incident was quickly forgotten. Public Memory is ultra short. What do you do when you find a open drain?. Do you report to the civic authorities? Do you try to buy a lid and do your bit of social service? Are you afraid the civic authorities will reprimand you? Do you just walk away ? What would the Father of Nation done, if he was alive?. He would have been there guarding the manhole till, the manhole is closed.

Post your comments for a better tomorrow.

HUMOUR - WHOSE WATER IT IS ANYWAY?

A FEW DEFUNCT TUBEWELLS IN A FACTORY. THE INDUSTRIALIST REGULARLY PUMPS ALL HIS EFFLUENTS INTO IT. IT IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE TO INSTALL EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANTS. HUMAN LIFES ARE DEFINATELY CHEAPER. THE NEAR BY UNDERGROUND CHANNELS
ARE POLLUTED. THE RESIDENTS ARE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE CONTAMINATED WATER.

POLLUTION CONTROL OFFICER: "SIR, ALL THE UNDERGROUND CHANNELS ARE POLLUTED BY YOUR EFFLUENTS"



INDUSTRIALIST: "ASK THE RESIDENTS TO DRINK MINERAL WATER,MY CHILDREN ALWAYS DRINK MINERAL WATER"

ANTI-RESERVATION AGITATION

CLOSE TO 60 YEARS OF UNFETTERED FREEDOM, DO WE STILL REQUIRE RESERVATION. THE BRITISH
LEFT US 60 YEARS AGO TOOK AWAY WHATEVER DISCIPLINE THEY INSTILLED IN US. WE HAVE BEEN A UNDISCIPLINED LOT, NOT ALL OF US A MAJORITY OF US. WE WERE GOOD SERVANTS, OUR OLDTIMERS WILL VOUCH FOR IT. WE HAVE PROVED TO BE BAD MASTERS. DID WE NOT PROGRESS ENOUGH TO STILL HAVE THE RESERAVATION YOKE ON US. WAS RESERVATION REALLY MEANT TO UPLIFT THE DOWNTRODDEN OR TO ENRICH THE VOTE BANKS? THIS IS A MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION. THE OLD NETA WHO STIRRED THE HORNET'S NEST SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT TWICE
BEFORE DECIDING ON THE RESERVATION ISSUE. ARE WE A COUNTRY OF MEDIOCRE PEOPLE?
THE TALENTED FLY AWAY, THE TALENTED PARTIOTS HAVE TO FIGHT MEDIOCRECITY TO SURVIVE.
RESERVATION AT WHAT COST TO NATION -THE NETAS HAVE TO ANSWER THIS. DO WE STILL
REQUIRE RESERVATION IN THE FIELD OF MEDICINE WERE LIFES ARE AT STAKE - DO WE REQUIRE
RESERVED PILOTS WHO PUT LIFES AT STAKE. WHO ARE THE BACKWARD CLASSES- THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN FORWARD CASTES AND BACKWARD CLASSES IS AMBIGUOUS - THE FORWARD
HAVE BECOME BACKWARD-THE BACKWARD HAVE BECOME FORWARD- I REMEMBER AN OLD FRIEND WHOSE FATHER WAS IN A COMFORTABLE JOB IN THE GOVERNMENT, WHO DID HIS ENGINEERING THEN AN IIM-MBA THEN WENT ON TO JOIN THE CIVIL SERVICES FOR WHICH AN ORDINARY BA OR BCOM WOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT- THIS GUY HAD DEPRIVED TWO FORWARD GUYS OF A DECENT CAREER. "CREAMY LAYER" IS DEFINATELY A DEFUCT TERM. ARE RESERVATIONS MISUSED? ARE BACKWARD CLASSES MORE POLITICALLY FORWARD THAN THE FORWARD CLASSES? DO WE HAVE LESS INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN BACKWARD CLASSES WHO NEED A HELPING HAND? DID THE ANTI-RESERVATION STIR SPELL OUTI N CLEAR TERMS THAT WE HAVE MISGUIDED THE COUNTRY TO WHERE WE ARE? CAN RESERVATION CONTINUE FOR GENERATIONS UNABATED? DID THE NETAS EVER THINK ABOUT THE ECONOMICALLY BACKWARD FORWARD CLASSES?
THE ANALYSIS - ARE BACKWARD CLASSES POLITICALLY ACTIVE AND CONTRIBUTE THEIR MIGHT
TOWARDS THE VOTE BANKS. DOES THIS MEAN THE FORWARD CLASSES ARE POLITICALLY WEAK?

HUMOUR - WE LIKE RED AND WHITE

Mr. P.K. Rumesh - gulf returned- was flogged many times for spitting in the gulf.
He was in India last week to buy some property. He went to the sub-registrar's office. The office was painted - sorry- we never paint our offices - we only whitewash them once in a Blue moon. The registration was over. He did not pay any bribe- a lucky man. His parting gift to the sub-registrar's ofice. A mouthful of liquid ZARDA PAAN on the new white washed white wall. White and Red a beautiful combination, the modern art would have made M.F. Hussain proud. We are all art lovers. Every office reflects our aesthetic sense. WHO'S COUNTRY IT IS ANY WAY?
Do you think we should flog Mr. Rumesh or reform him?

Members of parliament - Thrift

FIRST PAGE IN TIMES OF INDIA DATED 21/5/06

124 Members of Parliament do not own vehicles. How do they commute?
Do they travel by Delhi Transport Corporation buses? . The last true neta
to have travelled by a DTC bus was LAL BAHADUR SHASTRI. Have they all become NEO-SHASRTRIS'? Have the MP's gone in for car pooling to save the nation precious fossil
fuel? It's my Dad's car- Mom'car- Son's car -Friends car- Company's car as long as it takes me to th Parliament. WHO'S CAR IT IS ANY WAY?

NETA-LEADINDIABLOG

Who is a true NETA?. Netas‘s lead the country to bloom or doom.
Are we doomed? Are we evolving? Are we stagnant?
What a Neta can do or undo. We at LEADINDIABLOG believe that the
the first and last Neta was M.K. Gandhi – more popularly known as The
father of the Nation. Is Ghandism Dead and Gone? Is Ghandism relevant
in the present cyberworld?. Was Gandhi the first and last Statesman that
India ever produced. If we ever had a yardstick to measure the role of his compatriots
During the freedom struggle,- How near did they come to the father of the nation?
Assuming on a scale of 1 -10, they score a healty 6-7 or 8 – The modern day
Netas hardly hobnob over the zero level.
Where is the Intelligensia? Most of them are either dormant, who rufuse to join the
the main stream – who are more busy for the personal gains- do not care to involve themselves for a social cause- upliftment was never on their agenda. The others are
abroad enriching their adopted country – we never really cared or took concern on brian drain.

Calling all the intellectuals in India and abroad – awaken the sleeping giant you have a big role to play. We do not want Starched Silk khadi Netas- It costs Rs.900/- for a pair of silk starched Pant and shirt. It costs abt Rs.20 to iron ands starch. Rs.600/- a month.
Ghandi ‘s cotton khadi dhoti costs abt 50 Rs. Cost of washing 25 paise a day or
Rs.7 and 50 paise a month. Imagine if all the netas wore cotton khadi and not silk khadi
Washed and ironed their own clothes. The money saved could have feed a few lakh
starving Indians. We do not want smart netas we want netas who will quench india’s
Social thirst. This is not a dig at the netas - a stark reality.

Netas never cared – it was always whose country is it any way- Milk the country for my own personal greed.


The adage High living and LOW thinking (much less about the nation) seems to have caught up. It is hightime we adopt a new way of high thinking and low living. Low living does not mean living in dirt- Sacrifice for the nation- save for the unprivellged. Live a clean life. Educate the uneducated- Educate the ‘Educated uncultured’ -Educate the pseudo intellectuals

We do not target any individual- We LEADINDIABLOGGERS only want kindle the candle of hope in everyone’s heart for a better tomorrow- a healthier nation.We do not want Khadak netas – Starched clothes are expensive to maintain. We want handwashed khadi clothes are crumpled- Crumpled Netas (not mentally crumpled) should be the new buzz word Crumpled clothes should be the new fad.



We need a Neta who in the Gandhi Mould who is semi-clad, who washes his own Khadi -Who really cares for his people-Who can clense the society of all evils, who is net savy and carries his laptop and one who has a big family as large as India. Just imagine Gandhi with a walking stick on one hand a laptop on his shoulder leading us out of the dark world of corruption towards real progress. Gandhism Khadism and Cyberism can go hand in hand -that is what LEADINDIABLOG BELIEVES IN
