How Can you Prevent Terrorism????
There is nothing really a common man can do except for restraining himself from becoming a terrorist. But the way societies exploit a common man(soft, personal and invasive terrors) ; he eventualy takes up arms against the oppressors who then inturn brand him as terrorists, its a vicious cycle.If a government machinery acts against terrorism then hundreds of other sympathizers join hands against that government and thus terrorism spread like a fire in the wild.
Every man is a born terrorist he himself only can control him or he should kill himself to control terrorism.
Either all should become saints or all should become terrorists. If there are two sets of people in a society then there is bound to be conflict.
(my topic that "All Earthizens should go to Pakistan" was a lighter version of this explanation)
So control the beast in yourself and hope that others do the same .. thats all we can do.
e.g. Forms Terrorisms
1) Mother to a child sleep else I'll call Gabbar/lock u up in dark/I'll go off etc.
2) Teacher : "Why didnt you do the homework? (even if there were 10 guests romping all around your house) Show me your Knuckles...
3)Dad: Get high merit and become doctor else I shall turn you out of the house
4) Boy friend to Girl friend : "Even though I am the most ineligible guy for you ,Marry me else I will kill myself"
5) Mother-in-law: Bring more Dowery else you will be burnt
5)Boss: Finish this task else no leave or be ready to be fired off your job.
6)Law Enforcement: Dont move as cosy couple in public else you will be jailed for immoral traffic.
7) Self imposed Social Moral Police: Dont Watch FTV .. it has wierd things that is a common sight in impoverished countries (less clothed)that goes against culture
(how did he know ?? :p)
8)God man: Slaughter 1000 Camels else God will Curse you. (Hope Maneka Madam will one day sue our Gods)
9)Fanatics: Dont love your fellow human he is an outcast.
10) One country to another: Dont make nukes else we will nuke you.
11) Terrorists: We want some justice for above things but we are not sure what we want and who will give it to us but we know one thing that we are going to do "blow you up".

Insensitive Electronic Media - Role in National Destruction
Watching at least four English news channels surfing from one another during the last 60 hours of terror strike made me feel a terror of another kind. The terror of assaulting one's mind and sensitivity with cameras, sound bites and non-stop blabbers. All these channels have been trying to manufacture my consent for a big lie called - Hotel Taj the icon of India.
This was the quote from Gnani Sankaran- Tamil writer, Chennai. (http:// www.gnani. net/)
And I am with him to second his opinion as I am convienced that it is only a matter of convenience that these media houses put news contents across to us.
The way these media houses were proclaiming to have got hold exclusive footages of terrorists and carnage as if they have funded these attack and got they copyrights. It was really a shame.
I remember during late 90's when the world was looking at E-Commerce with awe; I used to teach students about electronic revolution and the way they can even sell death to people over internet.
Now I feel ashamed of myself when the same very ideas are put to use by electronic media,the way they celebrate death,terror and human misery;the way they package it with lots of background music gory graphics and a suiting hindi song number. The way they repeat absured things like "sighting Hanuman" and "Sounds from Hell" a zillion times that a person is all physced up to believe all that crap for real.
The way they portray their political ideologies to frame an opinion in their favour e.g the RKB show, now they are after the bullet proof jacket since 3 days .. Barkha Dutt is after "Enough is Enough" etc. The way these media channels leak sensitive information to the world sometimes make me wonder whether these media houses are funded by people with vested interests/Terrorist groups. To make my belief strong was the action by IBN7 , they disclosed a confidential letter on the Television , written by Police Commissioner of Gujarat to his subordinates about 2 investment agencies collecting fund for Jehad namely GoldenInvestments and one something else. Anyone with lowest of IQ can understand the consequences of such disclosures; it will suerly help the culprits to cover up. So a responsible media house will not do it and if they are doing so - it is to help some vested interest. The way live display of commando positions were helping terrorists and its operative heads is open now.
Either our media is too foolish and immature lot of physcos; a bunch of idiots with no clue about what they are doing or they are the real terrorists with hidden agenda to break India with all the kinds of inflamatory stuffs they keep propogating and seeking public opinion and by pushing words into ones mouth.
A classic example of idiotic jourlalism was pointed out by many of my friends was on the day when Hostages were freed from Taj (28th November 2008) ; one Mr.Deepak was tortured with the silliest and absurdest Questions like
1)Did you confront the terrorists? Did you see them? (answer- If I were to meet them I would not be standing here)
2)Did you get Food? (answer was- who the hell on earth will think of food when ones life is in danger.)
and an array of such punches good enough to make it on to Santa-Banta joke's Site.
Another example of propogation of aggression was repeated clip telecast of Richard Gere Kissing Shilpa Shetty , an isolated incident which could have been forgiven and forgotten was raked up to such an extent that the media houses themselves were playing the Moral Police again another shame for us.
I am aplolitical and I hope it helps me to call a spade a spade ; a rediculous thing to happen during those days was the advertisements aired on by these very media houses on behalf a National Political party , asking for votes and chiding the ruling party for its ineffectiveness.But people with a bit of commonsense can understand that the root cause of all these trouble that India is suffering was invited by this very National Religious Party by demolishing a harmless Babri Masjid structure and drawing the warth of millions of Islam followers. These very incidents are used by vested interests to brainwash the unsuspecting youth to join religious cause and spread terror in India. This very National Party was responsible for India's economic isolation due to its inability to tackel the aftermath of Nuclear Testing. A humble apology would have saved a lot of hardships for India. If our media had an iota of national interest they would have put forth the real culprits in front of public and not propogate the very political party because of which we have lost our peace and our citizens life is in threat. (earlier the trouble was only in Kashmir after 1992 is has spread to entire India, why?)
India needs stricter guidelines for allowing news channels to operate they have to be responsible/answerable to the masses.
If need be let the government amend the constitution but the harakiri in the name of freedom of expression and undue press freedom should be put to a end with an alternative solution to enable press/media to operate responsibilly and constructively for the welfare and education of the all classes of the society and not just for the likes of people affected at Taj or the people who find places in Times of India's Sunday Review Section or Page 3 of Mumbai Mirror.
I know if this blog is read by a media person , he may not digest it but nevertheless I could not refrain from putting my thoughts down. As you say "To Err is Human"

The Indian Retail Market and the Herd Mentality
Dont loose your sleep dear Retailers there is much to chew than your mouth can hold.
India is too big a rural market for Big Retail brands to conquere .The small time retailers need not worry too much as of now, a person from say "Kecheri" in Thrissur Dist. will not travel all the way to Trichur Town (20 KM away) to get things like 5 kg sugar etc. from the Mall.
And Malls cannot be started in all corners of the village as they lose their strategic advantages of Place,Time,Volume,accessability.
If someone starts a Mall for a village population of 5000 he will be doomed as the logistic cost of sustaining a good mall will surely be higher than the total average expenditure by all the 5000 strong population in a month.
Hence Retailers and small shop owners should take their business to the masses and see that they penerate deep into each village and provide such convenience to the villagers that they dont even think of travelling to the town for purchasing their groceries/electronics/Garments. The Retailers can even start home delivery schemes.
And they should not allow their stronghold on distribution chain to weaken,they can play the role of Franchisees or Sourcing Agents to the Big Retail Giants or they can prevent one such Mall coming to their town through co-operative movement. The small retailers who provide different goods and services should come together and pool capital through co-operative society and start a Mall themselves in the Town or villages , the profit will be distributed to the shareholders and risk of individual businesses get covered as well as they will get a stronger bargaining power to get goods from industries at the same price as Retail Giants, as well as enjoy some concessions enjoyed by the co-operative societies. The moment the Giant sees a competition in an area they will think twice to set up their business there.
A good example I can quote is the state of Malls which were set up in close proximity in an area in western suburbs of Mumbai (Goregaon to Kandivili) these Giant Malls were so near to each other that each started eating into the business of others and the laws of economics were tilted against their favour in such a way that they are forced to continue with very meger profits as an early exit from the market will burn deep holes in their pockets.
Inorder to prevent such situations and to sustain Retail boom in India , the Govenments should bring in some regulation in the approval of Malls in a locality based on the population, expenditure capacity of the population, Proximity to the source / distribution network, need of the region and competition.
On the other hand Governments should be careful in opening up opportunities to the Business Houses in India as many of them (usually small ones) follow the "Herd Mentality" they flock to a business where they see some success stories e.g. Airline industry (today nobody knows where the East-West Airlines have vanished) , Telecom industry many have burnt their fingers by jumping into a market with a saturated bandwidth Spectrum next to face the music is the Retail and Real Estate/Reality industry and slowly but surely the death of many Media Houses and News Channels (the ones which have become more of a Music channel) are in sight. The Government should control this flocking and channelize the resources available with various Business Houses to different Areas of opportunites.
India is a Big Growing Economy and there is enough market space in various segments for one to make a fortune but the million dollar question is are you moving in the right/unique direction ?

Agar yahi jeena hai doston to phir marna kya hai?
Shehar ki is daud mein daud ke karna kya hai?
Agar yahi jeena hai doston to phir marna kya hai?
Pehli baarish mein train late hone ki fikr hai
Bhool gaye bheegte hue tehalna kya hai?
Serial ke kirdaron ka saara haal hai maloom
Par maa ka haal poochne ki fursat kahaan hai?
Ab ret pe nange paon tehalte kyon nahi?
108 hain channel par dil behalte kyon nahi?
Internet pe duniya ke toh touch mein hain,
Lekin pados me kaun rahta hai jaante tak nahi.
Mobile, landline sab ki bharmaar hai,
Lekin jigri dost tak pahunche aise taar kahan hain?
Kab doobte hue suraj ko dekha tha yaad hai?
Kab jaana tha shaam ka guzarna kya hai?
Toh doston shehar ki is daud mein daud ke karna kya hai
Agar yahi jeena hai to phir marna kya hai?

Halla Re - Song From Neel N Nikki
Na pairo mein payal na haaton mein kangana
chali main chali main chali
ho na ankhon mein kaajal na maathe pe bindiya deewane ki dhundu gali
i wanna show my body groove the nite away
chahe bas chahe yeh dil dilbar ko paana re
halla re halla re halla re
halla re halla re halla re
tu jhoom le tu naach le masti mein tu kuch pyaare
halla re halla re halla re
halla re halla re halla re
tu jhoom le tu naach le masti mein tu kuch pyaare
main toh na jaanu kisko dhunde yeh nazar bekhabar
main toh na jaanu kisko dhunde yeh nazar bekhabar
ho jiski khaatir todu main duniya bhar ki rasmein
kare joh vaade pure nibhaye saari kasmein
kahin toh mil jaye woh chahe dil toot ke mujhko
rahoon na main bhi bas mein raahein na woh bhi bas mein
I wanna show my body groove the nite away
chahe bas chahe yeh dil dilbar ko pana re
halla re halla re halla re
halla re halla re halla re
tu jhoom le tu naach le masti mein tu kuch pyaare
halla re halla re halla re
halla re halla re halla re
tu jhoom le tu naach le masti mein tu kuch pyaare
aya kahin pe mujhko mera humsafar joh nazar
aya kahin pe mujhko mera humsafar joh nazar
mohabbat ki rahon par main hadh se badh jaaungi
main uske naam jawani kasam se kar jaaungi
mujhe hai itna kehna wohi hai mera gehna
agar bahon mein lele khushi se mar jaaungi
i wanna show my body groove the nite away
chahe bas chahe yeh dil dilbar ko pana re
halla re halla re halla re
halla re halla re halla re
tu jhoom le tu naach le masti mein tu kuch pyare
halla re halla re halla re
halla re halla re halla re
tu jhoom le tu naach le masti mein tu kuch pyare
halla re halla re halla re
halla re halla re halla re
