Pass me everything.... Dudleybouy.

Sad state of affairs.

"Red light zone" in India is such an apathy. You don't remain stone hearted when you know get to know the stories. How much of a trick people play - parents, siblings, husband, wife and other external sources - call it poverty, income issue where you don't know how to bring the food on the table.

I was appalled not by the other known issues that do the round within India (poverty etc), but to see that the heartless and senseless people end up having small infants next to them when they get forced into this act. Children look around and it is their brain that gets so influenced that eventually the parent will not be able to correct them or whatever coz the child when they hit the Teens will surely turn around and call their parent a 'slut'. So eventually, the child is either going to take into the profession much earlier than they should - thanks to the ever increasing orgies of men and women around us !Some of the women there would definitely would like to touch that emotional chord by saying they were forced into the profession. Some could actually be telling 'true tales' but whatever it is the pictures indicate a sad story to a mighty big extend. Why can't we fucking leaglize sex just for all this sad things to happen and operate outside the homes? Atleast we are not hurting the future generation, that's the least we can do. Why can't Indian government sell sex toys to a good extend to Indians? That way they would know who to pick and certainly not a lactating women. Come on for christ sake....

Come to think of it, can Dowry in form of 100-150 soverigns of gold, car, home, land etc that come along with the girl when people get married, will that make them a slut or are we free to make a different classification because it happens in a different league? Perhaps they would call it punctilio of the family! It all started in Europe,yea Dowry started off from there. But Asians have come to understand the nitty-gritty of how to get a maximum mileage out of this concept. That is one reason why this has come to stay like that black spider in Spiderman :-)

We all end up thinking and beating ourselves for all the wrong doing. I guess as long as we have that punctiliously defined out right - we are following our actions defined by our lineage, culture and every one is happy. So long my friend....

Eventful day

Today is when I bought my own car... Woo hoo. I will add pictures of the beauty that I own but it is yet to sink in much. I keep reminiscing about what LP sang when I get into this zone.

Yea, I own Maruti Suzuki Swift VXI with ABS - silver grey with all cool wheel upgrade. Awesome. I am waiting to get my hands on the Stereo once that happens I would be very excited. It is right now a check between JVC and Pioneer.... Life with options at every stage in life, isn't it :-) Oh I am not married yet, just if you thought I got the car by something as cheap as a Dowry !!! Moralistic man, respect.

Podcast me,oh the trend!

Thought about the funny evolution the world is going through - change (read it with all caps). Be it education, structure or execution of anything there is a whole lot of perception changes, the paradigm shift I would like to call.

Ages back the way project was executed (read it as anything) was not derived or based on a particular way of standards. Top corporations seem to be catching up with lost time purely by adapting to the difficult approach that is outsourcing and offshoring (still not many know the difference between the two!). But my note here is not about either of them. Instead it is about another change that has simply swept everyone off their feet - podcasts. This rather simple - apple owned, term is amazing to believe how much it has become the rule-of-life for any knowledge sharing or best practises.

Hard to believe that Apple claims it has 1,00,000 podcasts in its stores. Hard isn't it? To again retrospect and feel that in such a short span of time since its evolution to have got a ground like this is a fantastic achievement as such. Four years back no one knew about this, now every a college going teen knowns what this is and how to use it in the optimal way. I am always a big fan of technology and improvements, to me this is a massive way forward. As we move ahead, we have ensured that we don't leave breadcrumbs behind to know where we started from. This is change is going to stay and for all my money will improve a zillion times with time.

Magic of change. BTW, there is a podcast for change too :-]

I was itching to write up an article soon after 'officially' it was announced that Indians are targeted in Australia and slowly it caught up the imagination of people and became the breakfast-lunch-dinner news for days and into weeks. Are we right with our cutthroat analysis and the 'sensationalizing' attitude to petty information? Now, don't get me wrong I called it 'petty'.

Let me list what my take is on this whole tamasha. Now, in any country there are certain places you should not go to - no matter alone or in a group esp when you don't specialize in violence at any point of time in your life (and FYI, specializing on violence is not about like beating up your brother or some animals and emerging a victor!) . A group is no power when people retards are tagged in one side in the other side. Well, in the US, the downtowns are the most dreaded spots where the black form a group and harass people. I was called up at one time from the back and I did not react to that call from them and my friend and I walked (my friend wanted to respond to the call by going to them!) It still chills my spine wondering what would have happened if we had reacted. But the simple fact is "losers" are part of any society. It is about how you are sensible enough to avoid them. So people who don't exercise this will eventually get mugged. That happens in India too. Isn't it?

Common sense is not common as they say is the more important reason for what happened and how it happened in Australia. Indians for some reason seemed to have larger interest on residentship and all that which stopped them from lodging a complaint to the cops. This just makes me smile on how gullible people become and eventually blinded by this whole 'interest'. Isn't protecting yourself foremost important than coming to India with one eye or one hand and say 'mate I am an Australian'? I always believed in one thing - 'Action - consequence' chain and what happened to most of the gullible people is the consequence to the action they chose.

Coming back to the main point, Is India a racial free country? We take extreme measure to go and tap everyone's table whenever we think they are doing something. Yea, what the Indian government did by intervening is good but it is like the 'top selling hypocrisy' that will surely rock the best sellers table ! We, in India, have a religion wise divide, linginuistic divide, region wise divide, skin color divide. We beat up the deep lower middle class people and make them get into sewers and mind you these jobs are only for these people. We call ourselves 'non racial' and to me it is beyond any doubt that we are trying to do a political puppet show to satiate the people who voted them to the position. And irony is that the 'developed' countries will never be in a position to counter react when they are classified as 'racial'. Funny thing is it is like that killer blow, it is like the this - a lean guy can call a person 'ugly fat' guy but when the fat guy calls a person a 'lean' guy, it is offensive :-]

Haven't we done horrendous acts of crime to the foriegn nationals when they are in India? The political heavy weights get involved and bury the case because there was a same religion tag team that worked that time.

People beat the shit of students and many others just like the losers in Australia, did that make India a racist economy? When Indians burned down trains when some petty same 'religion' motto was compromised, did that make India a racist economy? When youngsters get beaten/women burnt by junkies as a result of ragging or for non compliance of some practices from the past, did that make India a racist economy? When we sent 'certain' sect of people only into 'live, smelly' sewer pipes, did that make India a racist economy? When we have the classification and Or is it that the nomenclature - rascism is defined and practiced when it is appropriate or needed?


We all feel it is an opportune moment to send in a hard punch to Australia by calling it 'racist economy'. Are we right? Perhaps vindicated for some things that happened in the past ... Might be.

Yo mayte ! if you did not like what I wrote, me thinks you are a racist !!

Well this is not any grudge message or anything. Just a fair remainder on how certain things existed in the past, perhaps 80-100 years ago in imperial India when Banks were truly existential for the westerners who were ruling us then. The 'aam-admi' (read common man) then could not right royally walk into any bank and do their regular deposits or withdrawals. Now, with time things evolved to a state that now every bank be it whatever nature - Investment or Captive or Corporate, they want a piece from the developing country. No where in the world Banks make that much purely from the collections perspective as they would do in India.

In the US, the security number and the credit history would ensure whether you get a 2 or 3 or 5% interest, in India you have a standard 11% on Bank loans or 23% on credit cards or 15% on personal loans. Kinda kinky isn't it? That beside the point of my claim, going back to times when our grand parents called the shots, they would have had something like Suruku Pai(read as an affordable purse! This was a traditional purse for the Indian women some 100-150 years before Guccis or Vuittons came India's way) or a piggy bank where the initial savings used to be kept. With the current blow up operation where we see that our hard earned money which we think is safe in an investing bank just goes right out of the window into an 'abyss'. No one has a clue on what happens to them in trying times as these. Now this brings us back to a very important question we have to ask ourselves, Are banks actually safe with our money or do we go back to Suruku Pai times and hope to have a good night sleep atleast knowing that money is right next to me? Am I over reacting to this situation? Yes and a No to this. Can you imagine a bank which is 350 years old, which survived the 1920 depression and now claims bankruptcy? What happens to the money in the bank? I was told that any account that had more than 70,000$ would be frozen and would not be available for the people? Can anyone beat that statement? It is after all the person who is living in the county, who is owing the money. Many banks and investment banks have just brought it upon themselves just because of the greed and competition to make more money added to total disregard to the investors money.

So why did the global financial meltdown begin? Who is responsible to this nerve wrecking piece of work? To me, it begins in the US and ends in the US. I honestly believe that the greed rests in US which prompts other greedy dorks around the world to look greedy. Now imagine the Subprime situation in the US? Who brought that up? If you did not know what it means, it is just that NINJA loans [‘No Income, No Jobs and No Assets’] that led to this. A person who did not have ability to repay loans were given write offs obscene loans to an extent like 1,00,000 $. The bubble was being created there, then and it led to the greed among everyone to make it big. More loans, more offenders,no liability to the money they all took - the bubble was so big by now that it was time the burst was evident. And rightfully after the burst, the money was just gone, houses came back to the Banks because of defaulters.

Now, the million dollar question, why is my money is in danger? I am not even in US, I could be a farmer in Japan or Finland but still my money is under threat. How? how the banks were tied to the defaulters? Read this article here to get an idea how the whole laundering act took place. This would give a very good idea on the global melt down.

Man, for one, will combat terror, fight in unimaginable altitudes to save the country, will work 23 hours in a day to satisfy himself, does all he could to woo women of any kind and vice versa but when it comes to money loss, it shatters the complete desire to exist. Money has grown to have such a strong writing in our psyche.No money, no nothing. We now have come to an stage where we just cannot trust anyone for anything they would say. Your money is under threat, you are under threat. So do we retreat back to the old days where we would keep our money in a piggy and imagine the good ol' pal is taking care of your money. Will our ego let us come down to that state? Will our greed to quadrapole or hexapole the money allow us to do this? Will we be safe in this world? Has our old, dirty past come back alive from the grave to bite us in our back? Karma..... the piggies are no longer the forgotten creatures, they seem to have come around and now I see the smiling piggy in my desk, it tears me to bits !!

Well, Aarti, just threw an award away towards my direction, just threw it all away I think :-). So here are the trumpets glaringly loud, the drums rolling, the people anxious, the award goes to - Dudleybouy.
