Maoist Ambush!


The attack on the Congress Convoy was not just unfateful but shocking too!
and the fact that the sick Maoists stabbed the great "Bastar Tiger"- Mahendra Karma 78 times was beyond imagination.

But on giving a second thought I feel those people who did this act of brutality are really not the ones to be blamed!
Reasons - Because they have been brainwashed to such an extent that they think what they are taught to think! They act according to what they are told to do! They live the way they are being told to!
They hardly have a life of their own - they are poor little guinea pigs Being Used for someone elses purpose!
These people should be treated the same way as the USA treated the Osama Bin Laden's supposed supporters in Afghanistan.
I am not writing this article in some state of mind in which I am very angry on some particular Maoist due to some personal grudge.
I think every Indian should have a personal grudge against every Maoist or Naxalite or any such Stupid Minded Mentality people.

I have been to Bastar in the Feb 2006. Bastar is a beautiful place but
1) Tourism cannot develop because of these Naxalites and Maoists! Hence many
2) Poor children cannot be educated because Naxalites and Maoists donot want children to get education, because if they do they would understand that these supposed supporters of poor people are actually their Enemies!
3) Maoists are the ones who are responsible for tree felling and reducing the Jungle cover!
4) Lives or people are in constant terror because these Maoists or Naxalites are spread all over the village and the moment a villager speaks about his.her own interested his/her family is slained!
5) People can't commute on certain routes Why because these Useless people have captured those areas and don't like common people to go to those areas. Capturing religious temples is another menace that these people have created!

If someone is really working for development it could be in the form of
1) Planting more trees
2) Giving basic education to children.
3) Providing self employment options to Adivasi people, or even establish cottage industries
4) Providing options to sell those items made my small scale enterprise!
5) Explain them the importance of water catchment areas and Rain Water Harvesting.
6) Explain them the importance of using bio-degradable items (which they already use being Adivasis) and letting them continue doing so in a scietific manner and thus helping to lessen the pollution!

I think if only this much is done One is actually helping these normal Adivasi people to live their lives in a better way.

And as regards what should be done to these Crazy Minded Maoists and Naxalites, Yes they should be treated the same way as USA treated Afghanistan.  And if another group of Human Rights Activists say that this should be done.. make them stay with the bodies of Mahendra Karma and Nadkumar Patel for 1 night!
Do I need to mention more!

SAVE WATER! ITS VERY PRECIOUS!

Hello all!

I am feeling delighted that finally My most awaited season of the year - Summers are here!!!

Was coming back home after some errand when I observed people washing their aangaan / verandaah and immediatly the thought popped up in mind.
Why not write something about the most discussed but often ignored thing!

Tips to save water

Herez what I do and I feel most of us can do..

1) DONOT keep the Tap open while brushing my teeth.

2) Keep a bucket full of water in the toilet rather than keeping tha tap constantly open. I refrain from using the flush because it uses up too much of water, and that doesnt make me feel good.
3) Use bucket filled with water instead of running on the Shower.

4) Instead of keeping the Pipe open for washing the car, I instruct my domestic help to take water in a bucket and use the same for cleaning the car

And Yes, that dirty water is used to water the plants outside home.

5) Instead of keeping the Pipe open to water the plants, Use a Bucket and a Mug.
This is a very good exercise too!

6) Keep a big vessel filled with water in the Kitchen to wash veggies and fruits and use the same to water plants.

7) The water remaining in the glasses after guests leave, goes to the indoor plants.

This is what I do to get a feel good factor - that I am doing my bit to save the most precious Liquid!
And Yes I teach the same to my Son.

¡Buena suerte! Siga haciendo sus esfuerzos para ahorrar agua!

(Good Luck! Keep doing your efforts to save Water!)

Hindi poem that the kids would love to hear

I came across this poem just last week when my cousin Nani was teaching this to my son, all of a sudden I realised that these simple hindi poems are such an interesting stuff for the kids.. and helps learning as well, thats why am sharing this with you all.. hope you would like it..



होकर कौतुहल के वश में 

गया एक दिन मैं सर्कस में 

एक बड़ा सा बन्दर आया 

उसने झटपट लैंप जलाया 

डट कुर्सी पर पुस्तक खोली 

आ तब तक यूँ मैना बोली 

हाज़िर है हुज़ूर का घोड़ा 

चौंक उठाया उसने कोड़ा 

टट्टू ने भी किया सपाटा 

टट्टी फांदी चक्कर काटा 

फिर बन्दर कुर्सी पर बैठा 

मुह में चुरुट दबाकर ऐंठा 

माचिस लेकर उसे जलाया 

और धुआं भी खूब उड़ाया 

ले उसकी अधजली सलाई 

तोते ने आ तोप चलाई 

एक मनुष्य अंत में आया 

पकड़े  हुए सिंह को लाया 

किसे साहसी जन डरता है 

नर नाहर को वश करता है 

मेरा एक मित्र तब बोला 

भाई तू भी है बस भोला 

यह सिंही का जाना हुआ है 

किन्तु सियार बना हुआ है 

यह पिंजड़े में बंद रहा है 

नहीं कभी स्वछन्द रहा है।



PS: My Nani remembers the poem this way do tell me if you know some other version of the same or other Hindi poems
