The Tale of two cities

Once upon a time there were two cities.One known for its intellectual richness and resourcefulness while the other for its passion for religion.Ironically they both took birth on a single day and had a lot in common.Through the ages they both maintained very strong armies much above their capability taxing their people passionately fighting eachother.
You would have understood by now that I m talking about New Delhi and Islamabad. Both of whom is rated among top ten of world armies.Their fights which dates back to 1947 were all for the paradise on earth called Kashmir.Pakistan still regards Kashmir as their territory but the when given the choice Kashmir wanted to join India after formation of India & Pakistan.(Not to forget even Pakistan people voted for Frontier Gandhi.I m talking about the elections when Khan Abdul Gafar Khan's party swept the polls in Pakistan and reduced Jinnah's Muslim league to a miniscule)But lets forget the past as we all know its no longer the people's voice is heard out even in a democracy.............Its loudest voice.Even if shout the lie its believed but do shout it.I don't believe the Kasmiri view is in anyway represented by hurriyat either in Kashmir or in POK because I sincerely believe nobody would like to have bombs blow and guns fire in their backyard.They all want peace and would love to live in harmony with their relatives in POK.Indian govt has taken a huge step in this issue by being very patient.Inspite of frequent terrorist attacks whose leads were tracked to ISI( Delhi bomb blasts) we have shown unbelievable patience in going on with cease fire.We tried our best to help in their dark times of quake but was kicked on face.Although Paks responded well initially to our peace reforms they are still trying to break the pace.I can understand an elected representative trying to make thing sluggish(as he has got an election over the corner every now and then) but a dictator..................That's something difficult to deduce.

Should Scandinavian cockroaches be given the right to speak

There had been virtually a pandemonium in early 90's about equal rights for males and females and subsequently for one third reservation in parliament for women. Now with return of congress, famous for their reservations of all kind the furor has returned.Do really reservations may it be for women or scheduled caste really something worthy and do they achieve their objectives is something we should think upon atleast when this reservation story has completed 50years of 'glory'.
I will compare this reservation story to my title about the non-existent cockroaches who were to be given the right to speak. The reservations originally brought about by Mahatma Gandhi to ennoble the 'harijans' and bring them in to the mainstream of population and subsequently to bring about equality in the society giving opportunity to even the most deprived ones.
The real story today, a bunch of educated and aware people use the opportunity of reservations for generations each time fooling the government by underquoting their salaries. They become richer and richer and add to the workforce more and more talentless people.Today every government office you can find people who still dont know what they are doing and what they should be doing ? I wont say that Indian government is not aware of this. They had started many think tanks to discuss and identify troubles in the reservations............but committees got confined only to the committee rooms.
Cure : I believe the government should understand that its high time to change its look towards reservations.Reservations must be allowed in the social setup but must be based only on income. The less income groups should get reservations not anybody else.

Belling the CAT

I dont think this is a good way to start posting on your blog. But this is the best time to talk about the mother of all exams. The arena is set and the warriers ready to go for the grand finale on 20th November. Although I have almost lost hopes for a call this year, I plan to board that ship sometime. May be as a lateral entry after 1or 2 years in L&T. There are a lot of attraactive aspects of a PGDM in IIM, the 1st of which is a very heavy pay package. Its not over ur also going to get to study with the best brains in India along with a very promising and satisfying career.
So for all those guys who are waging for it , best of luck.
For guys like me, best of luck in advance
