कही अनकही

This is what I heard from a bureaucrat friend...😀😅

अब मित्रों और रिश्तेदारों से मिलने के तरीके थोड़े बदल से गए है / नोटिस किया आपने? पहले बिना किसी तकल्लुफ के मित्रों से मिला करते थे, खाली हाथ या हाथ में बोतल, कुछ कागज, कुछ किस्से, कुछ आपबीती और कुछ जग बीती ...अब भी ये सब कुछ कुछ होता है पर कुछ स्टाइल से ...अब फोटो कुछ ऐसा जरूरी हो गया है कि उसके बिना मिलना बेकार ...फोटू खिचे और सोशल मीडिया पर ना आये तो कुछ अधूरा सा लगता लगता है/ है ना / मिलने में थोडा सा नकली आडम्बर जरूर आया हो परन्तु उसमे एक फायेदा भी हुआ है/ हमारे पास अपने मित्रों के पुराने फोटो बिलकुल नहीं के बराबर है क्यों कि उस समय फोटो खीचना और उनको संभालना उतना ही कठिन था/ परन्तु अब हमारे पास अपने मित्रों की  ढेर सारी फोटो स्मृतियाँ मौजूद है / जब हम बुजुर्ग होंगे तो अपने प्रियजनों की ढेर सारी स्मृतियाँ हमारे साथ होंगी /

In last week of September 2018, I published a cartoon ( The Dreamer ) in this blog where a person was dreaming about NOT increasing of petrol / diesel price. That time, the petrol and diesel prices were increasing on daily basis. That time, elections in the four states were not declared. After elections have been declared in the month of November and December 2018, the prices of petrol and diesel prices started going down. This is eleventh occasion where the prices of oil have come down on this Sunday (October 28, 2018). There may be many factors behind this price cut. The economists claim that international oil prices have been falling and rupee has also appreciated causing the price cut of oil. The election time is just coincidence!🤫

We want our Internet speed not less than 4 MBPS. We need daily limit 10 GB to access Internet. Length of movies have been changed from hours to GBs. Yesterday, I asked someone about the length of a movie. He replied - "5 GB". 😀😀😀. I wanted to know the quality of an image, I am informed...it's 4 GB man..it is bound to have good quality...😜 Believe me!!! this is most commonly used measurement unit in our lives as on date. Are we forgetting other units of measurement? Not really, how can we forget basics. But just imagine if we use only use one unit in Byte for all measurement. Nothing to do which Physics friends!!! Just enjoy...

अभी कुछ दिनों पहले उ.प्र. पुलिस के एक सिपाही ने अपनी बुधिमत्ता एवं आत्मविश्वास का परिचय देते हुए, जब उसकी बन्दूक ख़राब हो गयी तो उसने अपने मुँह से ही गोलियों की आवाज निकालनी शुरू करदी और बदमाशों को भगा दिया / अब जबकि हम हरियाली दिवाली की बात कर रहे है और पटाखों पर सीमित प्रतिबन्ध लगाने की बात कर रहे है तब क्यों ना हम अपने बच्चो को भी मुँह से ही ठाय ठाय करने की प्रैक्टिस करवा दें/  जहाँ एक तरफ हम सभी प्रदूषित वातावरण से परेशान हैं वहीँ पटाखों पर पूर्ण प्रतिबन्ध अथवा आंशिक प्रतिबन्ध भी हमें कहीं परेशान करता है/ इसका समाधान भी समाज के ही वर्गों से निकलेगा/  

If these balls could speak, they must be crying #Metoo #Metoo Veeru... 

The power and impact of Social Media might have taken to surprise many.... # Me too campaign has so called 'exposed' who's who in the politics, film industry, sports, etc. It is possible that few stories might be false also. But the dent has been made. Its impact is all round. On one hand, #Me too campaign has given voice to many victims but same time, it has provided a very effective platform to gain media attention to a few 'celebrities'. Some how, #Me too campaign has been limited only to rich and famous. It has got media attention because of this only. It has not come down to where it might have given voice to many real victims. In the thunder of blame games, it is difficult to find the 'real victim'. In entire #me too campaign, the most impacted entity is the 'Relationship'. It is died or just at the last stage of dying. The pillars of faith and trust have been shaken so badly that there are many cracks on the pillars in overall perspec

Now, every one wants reservation in jobs, promotion, loans, etc from the Government. The meaning of reservation has been lost. Reservation was seen as a medium to create a support system for those who needed it the most. Providing reservation to the same set of people within the weaker community will not help. There is a need to refine the process of reservation. We are now well equipped in terms of availability of data and soft infrastructure like Aadhaar, PAN, EPIC etc. that the digital identity of individual may help in providing benefit to the individuals. Reservation must help the people of a community or a class to come at par with the others. Once it is done, the job is over and the person/family should be out of reservation. Therefore one time reservation could be a solution. It will also help to uplift other people of same community to get benefit of reservation. Today, communities feel proud to declare themselves as BACKWARD. This is not because they want so but because

This year too, India pays homage to Bapu, the father of nation, on his 149th birth anniversary on October 2, which is also known as Gandhi Jayanti. The values given by Bapu are rapidly fading with the passage of time but symbols are still going strong. Perhaps, we love symbols as they are visible; But the values are meant to be inherited. It is a difficult task. Somehow Bapu is missing but symbols are shining in the independent India. Remembering you Mahatma...

The craze of having selfie has increased up to the extent of funny situations. While having morning walk in Jhansi, this was the real time situation. Just sharing to entertain you all...

Petrol and Diesel prices have been increasing in India on daily basis. This is leading to all out increase in cost of all commodities. Price hike hits common men. 

Now Smart Pole will provide integrated supply of WiFi, better mobile signals and security at one place. Then, will people come out of houses and spent their time near smart poles? May be too much... but even today people rush to a corner in house where signal strength is better to receive a phone call. There is need to improve telecom infrastructure to have better user experience. Otherwise.. smart poles are going to be social hub in future...Happy Weekend...

Is typing replacing writing? Did you compliment some one on her/his good handwriting? With growing ease of technology, people prefer to type by 'speaking' into microphone or use keyboard to directly jot down the contents into computer. Writing has its own glory. It has emotions, feeling and intent. There were analysts who could analyses personality of individual by judging handwriting. Typing is need of the day. It saves duplicity of work. Typed matter is considered as 'professional Both  'typing' and 'writing' are going to stay in the society. But no doubt 'writing' is at receiving end. Thankfully, English differentiate between 'Writer' and 'Typist'

Yesterday, India broke an 86-year-old record, surpassing their 24-1 victory over the United States at the 1932 Olympics. This time Hong Kong was at receiving end in Asian Games. India won the match by 26-0. In its last match, India crushed Indonesia by a margin of 17-0.  two Hockey Sticks symbolizing 26.

A cartoon is worth of millions of words. Its independence is necessary. Ultimate judges are the viewers. Let them decide a good cartoon and a bad cartoon. There is no ban on thoughts. We are a mature democracy.  This country needs whistle blowers in any form.  सचिव बैद गुर तीनि जौं प्रिय बोलहिं भय आस राज धर्म तन तीनि कर होइ बेगिहीं नास मंत्री, वैद्य और गुरु- ये तीन यदि अप्रसन्नता के भय से या लाभ की आशा से हित की बात न कहकर, प्रिय बोलते हैं,  तो राज्य, शरीर और धर्म- इन तीन का शीघ्र ही नाश हो जाता है॥
