The reservation issue was again in news in past few months as Gujjars were asking for reservation in Rajasthan. I won’t write whether gujjars were right or wrong in asking for reservation but lets talk about the reservation itself first. I find this very idea of ‘cast based reservation’ stupid. It was a stupidity in the very first place. First thing you say people from some castes should be given some relaxation in the exams, admissions…whatsoever as they are financially weak and haven’t got access to all the facilities. Now are all the people from those castes same ? NO ! ...

A beautiful poem by Faiz Ahmed Faiz: woh log bahut khushkismat the jo ishq ko kaam samjhte the ya kaam se aashiqi karte the hum jeete ji mashroof rahe kuch ishq kiya, kuch kaam kiya kaam ishq ke aade aata raha aur ishq se kaam uljhata raha phir aakhir mein tang akar humne dono ko adhoora chod diya… Comments Comment by Bal on 2008-12-16 18:02:13 +0530 eh te kmaal hai hai yaar… never read thing like this!

One of my all time favourite songs. Beautifully sung by Musarrat Nazir. Awesome lyrics: chale to kat hi jeyga safar ahista ahista hum uske paas jate the magar ahista ahista abi taaron se khelo chand ki kirno se ithlao milegi uske chehre ki sahar ahista ahista (ithlao - play with) dareecho ko to dekho chilmanon ke raaz to samjho uthayenge parda haye baam-o-dar ahista ahista (dareecho - ?,chilmanon - ?, baam - housetop or roof, dar - door) ...

Someone has rightly said “Money can’t buy happiness”. One may not believe this but watching 2 videos made my day and gave me a ton of happiness. I stumbled upon one video of Musarat Nazir on youtube and then i saw mera long gwacha’s video, done by her on PTV in 1985-86. My lifetime favourite song which i have grown up listening to. The voice, tone ,music reminds of those beautiful old days. It used to play mostly on radio channels like Jalandhar, All India Radio and Lahore. When i got computer at home, i recorded this song by placing microphone near radio speaker and today i got to watch that video. Plain awesome…real singing with soul and emotions. ...

It has been more than 50 years since we got freedom and we all are aware that politics and corruption have screwed up the whole system of India. I was watching a video by Shiv Khera where he calls to build a corruption free nation. A must watch for every Indian: Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: Also, there are 2 videos in Hindi: Part 1: Part 2: Comments Comment by Brig Gulshan Rai(Retd)-AOC(Known to Gen P Sagar on 2008-08-11 13:38:26 +0530 Mr Khera has the perfect appreciation of where we stand as a nation today.He has to galvanise support of the masses.Most indians want sweeping changes.
