Congress is heading the Centre as well as State Government in Maharashtra, so now they cannot pas on the buck for lack of security , support etc etc. So now all is okay put the blame on some "foreign insurgents" . I do not rule out this possibility but at the same time were we well equipped to avoid attack after attack at all our major cities. What evasive action have we taken to prevent attacks ?
Probably next to zero we just keep on blaming "Foreign Hand" in all the cases. We have shown time and again by taking a begging bowl in our hand and standing in front of Unitaed Nations, USA and other Counties asking them to declare Pakistan a terrorist state, we waste our time asking them to take action against Pakistan. We cannot even hang a criminal like Kasab, we keep on feeding him at the expense of tax payers. We have failed time and again to deliver when it matters. We have failed to protect our selves, I suppose this is what we all deserve. Life is unfair get used to it. People are going to rape you in full public view if you given them signals that you would not resist any attempt to rape. They are surely going to rape you if you invite them to do so. Do not blame the people who rape, blame yourself for being raped.
Now for God sake please do not laud the so called " Spirit of Mumbai" This is not spirit of Mumbai , this sheer cowardliness and indifference to what happens around us. People in Mumbai are so obsessional, so much driven by the urge to earn money and more money that they give scant regard to what goes on in their next home. They simply start their day afresh with the sole motive earn their daily bread... or whatever.
The only effect of this blast was few phone calls here and there to confirm if your immediate relatives are okay, thats the end of it. When shall we wake up and shake our politicians, kick them out of office for incompetence. Teach them a bloody lesson of their lives so that they do not take their term in office for granted for ever. Wake up my dear friends and kick out the incompetent rulers, bring about a sea change, it high time now.

Iqbal Mirchi, the drug mafia is doing business in UK
I wrote yesterday about the extradition treaty we had in place in UK and regarding handing over of the person who was absconding from UK for committing some offences like rape. To my utter surprise today I read in the news that now a British national, Heena Kausar (wife of Iqbal Mirchi), a smalltime yesteryears Bollywood actress, has urged the court to revoke the detention order against her husband so that the seal on the two flats she owns in Juhu can be lifted. The flats are in Milton Apartments on Juhu Tara Road.
I salute the audacity of this women who had fled with her husband just before the 1993 blasts. She knows that the spineless Indian Government, Judiciary has no guts to arrest her. She could have very well been arrested for supporting a drug mafia, mind you Iqbal Mirchi was declared a "proclaimed offender" by the Indian government in 1994. He has been ranked among the top drug barons in the world by a United Nations report and has an Interpol Red Corner notice pending against him.
The news item also goes on the say that Iqbal Mirchi is doing business in the UK. Now will the Government show the courage to seek custody of Mirchi by exchanging the offender (Mr. Aman) who was caught at the Delhi airport yesterday ?
The media would make sure that the case goes into oblivion. The end result in all probability would be , Mrs. Mirchi getting custody of the flats which are owned by the drug mafia but on paper the owner is Mrs. Mirchi, so our Courts would surely go by the rule book, cite some precedent, some laws beyond our understanding and with an apology for wrongfully taking possession of the Flats and then return them to her !!

Medical Negligence - Justice prevails at last
Justice finally prevailed after 23 long years when Mr. Praful Desai was held guilty by the Esplanade Court for medical negligence. I salute the tenacity of Mr. P C Singhi who kept on fighting to ensure that people like Praful Desai are taught a bloody lesson of their life.
In the present case it is rather shameful that this person ( I hate to call him a Doctor as he does not deserve to be ) Mr Praful Desai even disowned responsibility of his very own patient. Desai in his defence maintained that it was not his case. He said Leela was his assistant Mukherji's patient and since junior doctors were not allowed to admit patients under their own name, the names of the senior surgeon would appear in the case papers. "Such senior surgeons whose name appeared as a formality had no responsibility towards such patients. My role was limited to only giving an opinion as she had been referred to me by Mukherji,"
Now these bloody Doctors have opened their shops simply to earn money out of every patient who comes at their door step. Despite a clear opinion that the patient was beyond operation just to earn some more money they had the audacity to cut open her stomach to operate her. This is just to earn money from who soever is admitted in what so ever condition in their hospital.
These very so called Senior Surgeons charge a ransom just to give their opinion and show their face. They use their names to advertise their expertise and in reality what happens is some junior inexperienced and unknown Doctors operate you. If all goes well the So called Senior Doctor earns loads of money and if anything goes wrong he simply tries wash his hands off like in the present case. Patients have full faith in them but they are simply not worth the faith a patient has. I do not see any difference between an errant taxi driver who fleeces his Customers at every given opportunity to earn some extra money and these Doctors who are just waiting for the kill. These Doctors are worst when compared with an Taxi Driver as they can play with your life and in all probability escape the clutches of law. It takes one like Mr. Singhi who takes upon this highly over rated community and makes them realize that they cannot take their patients for granted. This man Desai should be barred from active practice even though he is 76 years old today.

Extradition Treaty with UK
Man wanted for rapes, murder in UK arrested at IGI airport ( News in Times of India)
This man in question is one Mr. Aman who is wanted in the UK for crimes which he allegedly committed like rape, attempt to murder etc. Now the big question, do we hand over this man to UK as they have demanded ? I guess we should not, but use this occasion as a tool to get the people on our most wanted list who are residing in UK or have taken asylum under the garb of extradition laws. But the bigger question does India have the courage to use these situations to our own advantage to the fullest ? India supposedly has an extradition treaty in place with the UK, but how many times has the UK government handed over criminals who take shelter in their country. UK is home to lot many Pakis and Bangladeshis and I do not recall a single instance whereby UK has helped India in dealing with criminals.
Now there would be legal pundits who would start bragging that unless proved a person is not guilty, we should not be judgmental and leave it to the courts and blah blah .. some Human Rights organization would crop up mid way. Thankfully the person is not from minority community, read Muslim community, else we would have some Ulema who would come and support him.
Here I am not supporting an accused in any way, but just want to see some hard nosed action from the Indian Government. We are of course used to the spineless behaviour so should not be surprised if we hand over him outright to the UK, like the French Government handed over Savarkar to the British !

Homosexuality
Ghulam Nabi Azad has spoken the truth for a change and I support and second his views. He may be cornered and by the time I write this post he may have also retracted his statement. I am a firm believer that Homosexuality "IS" indeed a disease and needs to be cured. I however may not agree that this has come from the West. How on earth are you going to support the idea of using your excretory organ i.e. your anus to copulate with another human being. Isn't it unnatural, against nature. Having love and affection towards a fellow male is understandable, but the urge to use your anus for sexual gratification is simply going against nature. That is the reason we call it a disease and hence the need to identify and treat such individual.
Just because New York and some other Governments of the world including Courts in India legalise Gay Marriages does not mean that their view is final, correct and binding on everybody else. It does not stop others from expressing their opinion.
The very fact that these individuals do not agree that they are diseased further reinforces the need for treatment, whether it is as per theory of Baba Ramdeo or any other means. A mentally disabled person never agrees that he needs treatment, an alcoholic never agrees that he is an addict and the same rule applies to homosexuals.
Let common sense prevail and I hope that we can treat these homosexuals and set right their orientation once for all.

Flying Peacock
I had been to Jaipur on an official tour on 4th and my onward journey was to Delhi on early morning of 5th July. Our Vehicle Driver was on leave and so I decided to walk down the distance from our Guest House to the Airport. It was barely one kilometer and so I decided to walk down and play my role in reducing my carbon foot print and at the same time make an attempt to burn a few grams of my over flowing body fat !
Except few morning walkers there wasn't anybody on the road at 6 am in the morning and I could merrily walk down the road, eating some neem leaves. There were plenty of them all along the road and I could easily savour some of them.
Then came the sight of a flying peacock, yes a flying peacock. I was the only one on the road who could see his smooth sailing of close to 100 meters or so. I was simply stunned and stood my ground with my eyes wide open. I could not see the peacock fluttering its wings nor any noise, you may call it as a glide, unabashed. I had to wait 33 years of my life to see a peacock flying, it is always better late than never.
I had seen plenty of them after I came to Ahmedabad, even saw them dancing on television. I had watched their movements clandestinely when I had been to ESCI, Hyderabad. But to see a peacock flying unhindered and sail smoothly was simply mind blowing.
I was in no mood to capture it on my mobile or take a video as I simply loved that very moment, enjoyed it to the fullest and thanked my driver for being on leave. Nature keeps on offering us beauties time and again, we simply fail to capture them, apparently busy with some thing which we don't know, running after some thing which is well beyond our reach.
We were always taught that peacock is a "bird", but we never had the patience to go and watch him fly. We were to busy to watch his pictures on glossy papers and memorize that he is national bird of India and dances when it rains. Thanks "Jaipur" for showing me a flying peacock !

India at Wimbledon 2011 and Partners in Doubles Tennis
Mahesh Bhupati and Elena Vesnina have reached the Finals in mixed doubles this year after a hard fought three set win in the Semi Finals. The other Indians gradually faded out gradually as Sania Mirza exited from women's doubles semifinal and the mixed doubles quarters. Leander Paes, too, lost his mixed doubles quarterfinal. Mahesh and Leanader bowed out in the initial stages and so did Somdev in the singles. We cannot expect much from Sania given her priorities. She can expect to win only if she spends some more time on the Courts rather than at the beautician.
By and large we must be happy that the tricolour is seen some where right up to the finals.
I always keep on guessing how do tennis players chose partners and what makes them do so. I never heard of Elena Vesnina until this year's French Open appearance with Sania , that too after they reached the Finals. She was unheard in the singles circuit as well. Then how do these players get in touch with each other and what makes them decide that they shall gel well as a combination. Without match practice, with playing together they reach the finals of wimbledon! Now that is called real chemistry or pure luck I must say.
I remember Mahesh pairing up with several of them one being Rika Hiraki of Japan if I am not wrong. They even went on to win one Grand Slam. We never heard them winning any tours on ATP, straight way a Grand Slam !!

An exciting draw
Today I woke up at around 4:30 in the morning to answer nature's call, could not resist having a look at the final score in second test between India and West Indies. I expected India to win after the two quick wickets in opening session. Dhoni's bold declaration was paying off dividends, this was the general feeling.
But alas, we had to be satisfied with a draw. How things change, a draw was seen as a victory for India few years ago in the West Indies, now we equate it with a loss! Time have changed.
The fragile batting line up of the West Indies did manage to salvage a draw and it was really credible given their past performances. Just one total in excess of 300 in last ten innings. The Indian bowling could not give the finishing touches. We simply lacked a genuine fast bowler who could terrorize the batsmen on final day. Harbhajan's continued failure with the ball was also disappointing. He is in the team thanks to his lusty blows with the bat. Only time would tell how far his luck would help him stay in the team. Those lusty blows are not genuine batting in any way, so Mr. Harbhajan time is running out. Wake up fast else we have many spinners who are waiting to replace you.
