Yadi bhala kisi ka kar na sako...
Trying to revive my blog. A poem to get the engines running again...
Yadi bhala kisi ka kar na sako to, bura kisi ka mat karna
Amrit na pilaane ko ghar mein to, zahar pilaate bhi darna.
Yadi satya madhur na bol sako to, jhoot kathin bhi mat bolo,
Yadi maun rakho sabse achha, kam se kam vish to mat gholo,
Bolo to pehle tum tolo, fir mukh-tala khola karna.
Yadi bhala kisi ka kar na sako to, bura kisi ka mat karna..
Yadi ghar na kisi ka baandh sako to, jhopdiyan na jala dena,
Yadi marham-patti kar na sako to, khar namak na laga dena,
Yadi deepak ban kar jal na sako to, andhkar bhi mat karna.
Yadi bhala kisi ka kar na sako to, bura kisi ka mat karna..
Yadi phool nahi ban sakte to, kaante ban kar na bikhar jaana,
Maanav ban kar sahla na sako to, dil bhi kisi ka dukhana na,
Yadi dev nahi ban sakte to, daanav ban kar bhi mat marna.
Yadi bhala kisi ka kar na sako to, bura kisi ka mat karna
Yadi sadaachar apna na sako to, paapo mein mat pag dharna,
Kintu na kabhi shaitaan bano, aur na kabhi haivaan bano,
muni-pushp agar bhagwan nahi to, kam se kam insaan bano.
Yadi bhala kisi ka kar na sako to, bura kisi ka mat karna...
Yadi bhala kisi ka kar na sako to, bura kisi ka mat karna
Amrit na pilaane ko ghar mein to, zahar pilaate bhi darna.
Yadi satya madhur na bol sako to, jhoot kathin bhi mat bolo,
Yadi maun rakho sabse achha, kam se kam vish to mat gholo,
Bolo to pehle tum tolo, fir mukh-tala khola karna.
Yadi bhala kisi ka kar na sako to, bura kisi ka mat karna..
Yadi ghar na kisi ka baandh sako to, jhopdiyan na jala dena,
Yadi marham-patti kar na sako to, khar namak na laga dena,
Yadi deepak ban kar jal na sako to, andhkar bhi mat karna.
Yadi bhala kisi ka kar na sako to, bura kisi ka mat karna..
Yadi phool nahi ban sakte to, kaante ban kar na bikhar jaana,
Maanav ban kar sahla na sako to, dil bhi kisi ka dukhana na,
Yadi dev nahi ban sakte to, daanav ban kar bhi mat marna.
Yadi bhala kisi ka kar na sako to, bura kisi ka mat karna
Yadi sadaachar apna na sako to, paapo mein mat pag dharna,
Kintu na kabhi shaitaan bano, aur na kabhi haivaan bano,
muni-pushp agar bhagwan nahi to, kam se kam insaan bano.
Yadi bhala kisi ka kar na sako to, bura kisi ka mat karna...

123 Agreement and the Indian Media
The 123 Nuclear agreement between India & the US has ruffled some feathers in the Indian politics. The Left Front is vehemently opposing the deal while the Congress is hell bent on going ahead with the deal. Things are so bad that it might lead to the fall of the current Indian government. Here are two ways in which the Indian Media is handling the situation.
1.
This one is definitely exxagerated but not very far away from reality.
-------------
KARAN: NEWS ANCHOR
DEVESH: REPORTER
KARAN: GOOD EVENING VIEWERS WE HAVE SOME BREAKING NEWS FROM THE PARLIAMENT ABOUT THE NUKE DEAL IMBROGLIO
KARAN: HELLO DEVESH U HAVE SOME LATEST BREAKING NEWS, DON’T YOU?
DEVESH: THAT’S RIGHT KARAN, ITS ABT THE LEFT
KARAN: RIGHT ?
DEVESH: NO, THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT DECIDE TO BREAK
KARAN: OH U MEAN THE LEFT AS USUAL
DEVESH: RIGHT
KARAN: I AM SORRY DID I GET U WRONG THERE? WHO HAS LEFT RIGHT NOW
DEVESH: THE LEFT
KARAN: RIGHT? BUT U SAID THE RIGHT JUST NOW
DEVESH: NO, I SAID THE LEFT
KARAN: THE LEFT?
DEVESH: RIGHT
KARAN: OK I AM CONFUSED. DEVESH PLS CLARIFY WHATS IS THE LEFT SAYING, AND WHAT IS THE RIGHT SAYING
DEVESH: KARAN, THE LEFT SAYS THE DEAL IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO GO
KARAN: OK U MEAN THE RIGHT SAYS THE DEAL IS ONLY WAY LEFT ?
DEVESH : NO THE LEFT SAYS THE DEAL IS NOT RIGHT WAY LEFT
KARAN: RIGHT
DEVESH: THE LEFT IS SAYING THE DEAL HAS LEFT OUT WHAT SHOULD BE RIGHT
KARAN: LEFT OUT WHAT SHOULD BE RIGHT? OH U MEAN WHAT’S LEFT OUT OF THE DEAL OR THE LEFT IS RIGHT OUT OF THE DEAL OR THE LEFT IS RIGHT OF THE DEAL OR THE LEFT IS LEFT OF THE DEAL?
DEVESH: RIGHT
KARAN: RIGHT????
DEVESH: RIGHT OUT OF THE DEAL THE LEFT
KARAN: WHO IS LEFT AND RIGHT? THE LEFT IS RIGHT OR THE RIGHT IS LEFT
DEVESH: THE LEFT. THE LEFT HAS LEFT RIGHT OUT OF THE DEAL
KARAN : THE LEFT HAS LEFT RIGHT OUT OF THE DEAL?
DEVESH: RIGHT
KARAN: OH NO U MEAN THE LEFT HAS LEFT RIGHT OUT ?
DEVESH: RIGHT
KARAN: WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN
DEVESH: THEY JUST LEFT RIGHT NOW
And the suspense continues

Well, all is not bad with the India media. There are some really good journalists too. Take Karan Thapar for example. He is one of the best talk-show interviewers I have ever seen. Read below some excerpts of how he strips CPI leader Sitaram Yechury naked over the 123 agreement. Sitaram Yechury couldn't say much except pick on Karan Thapar. Read the whole interview here.
-----------------------
#1:
Karan Thapar: Except, that is in non-binding sections of the Hyde Act. It's in 102 and 103, which are non-binding and you know that.
Sitaram Yechury: Please argue like an Indian, you are not a US citizen.
#2:
Karan Thapar: If it was denied, then it would say under no circumstances can such technologies be sold. They are not. They are actually saying pending an amendment.
Sitaram Yechury: You are talking like a US lawmaker.
Karan Thapar: I am not talking like a US lawmaker, I am talking as a man who understands US law. You are talking as a man who is misunderstanding, and deliberately misunderstanding, US law.
Sitaram Yechury: I understand English, which you may not.
Karan Thapar: In which case you are misunderstanding the language. Your August 7 statement said 'denies access in any form'. Those five words are wrong.
Sitaram Yechury: You are neat-picking for no reason.
Karan Thapar: I am not neat-picking. I am just pointing out that your August 7 statement is wrong.
Sitaram Yechury: My interest is my country's interest, it’s not in neat-picking like you are doing. For India, unless this clause is amended, these technologies are not available. Period, simple.

What Can I Say
One of my most fav songs -
Artist: Brandi Carlile
Also heard in: Grey's Anatomy Season 2
Look to the clock on the wall,
Hands hardly moving at all.
Can't stand the state that I'm in
Sometimes it feels like the walls closing in
chorus:
O lord what can I say
I am so sad since you went away
time time ticking on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord what can I say
Try to bury my toubles away
drowns my sorrows the same way
seem that no matter how hard I try
It feel like somethings just missing inside
Chorus
Oh lord what can i say
How rules can I break
how many lies can I make
how many roads can I turn
to find me a place where the bridge doesn't burn
Chorus x2

Toilet Technology & Management
Does anyone of you have a fetish of shitting in the public? Can't do it due to the fear of law? Worry no more, the swiss people have come up with a see-through loo which has a one-sided glass. People outside cannot see you but you can see everyone outside.
If the above pics showed toilet tech, the below one shows toilet management. An excellent example of process control and how to reduce spillage.
and how about this pic below? am sure it can only lead to increase in spillage! :-D

FAQ??
A frequently asked question in India...hehe!!
Do we have to pay any bribe for getting work done in KIADB ?
No, If any Board Official demands bribe or inordinately delays processing of papers and /or misbehaves in any manner, the same should immediately be brought to the notice of CEO & EM either orally or in writing.
Not a joke..this is a question in the FAQ section of the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board..check it out here
