Have Kolkatans Lost their Sense of Humanity?

What has happened to Kolkatans? Why have we lost our sense of lending a hand atleast in times of dire needs. Just yesterday hundreds saw a man die in the river Hooghly but no one dared to do something. The pilots of the 2 launches turned a deaf ear to the hundreds of shouts of the passengers to stop as if his butt was on fire.

Arent these government employees humans? Ofcourse we have seen them piloting buses whether it is local or long distance with no mercy. These government employees have proved to be inhumans since ages. They wont think twice before runnign over someone, thats what it seems like though it sounds odd.

Yesterday evening a man drowns in the river which is supposed to Holy. WHo knows how many more are supposed to loose their lives before someone does something about it. The same happened toa adistance relative of mine years back. This was a repetition. My relatives body was found after more than a week completely swollen, hard to recognise, not sure what is going tohappen to this man, hardly there are chances of him being alive.

But let me ask the Kolkatans one question. I know that everbody shouted for help but the pilot didnt stop. The public ransacked the office and manhandled the pillot after reaching the surface but what were they doing while they were in the launch. Couldnt a few people have broken the pilot door in  the launch itself, it is not heavily guarded after all?

A few months back such an incident happened to a friends friend of mine who died in front of the Kalighta Metro Station due to a heart attack. As we all know that we have police personnel sitting in entrance of the metro railways. People passed by but no one cared. After about half and hour someone tried to rescue him but by the time they stopped an ambulance and they were on their way to the hospital the man was dead.

I stay outside Kolkata, here people say that Kolkata is famous for its hospitality. Many famous personalities from different sectors of entertainment have been found to voice the same. But do we do so only on a case basis just to be in the lime light.

Inspite of all these I still feel that there are some good men/women out there. Hoping for the best.

Cold Turkey

Recently I came across a new name: cold turkey!!. Initially I thought that it is a name of a recipe. But when I looked in further in  the page I wondered what a recipe is doing in a medical journal website. Digging further helped me out. 

It is a medical term when someone leaves any addiction all of a sudden exp like drug related or alcohol etc. These people might suffer from some withdrawal symptoms like seizures, etc.

Isnt this interesting information. !!!

Autism - My Thoughts

A few months back I came to know that one of colleauge's son is suffering from Autism. Well I became sad to learn about this. I thought of asking him how is preparing to cope with it but I dared not. I thought it might harm his feelings or I should not prick his feelings.

Afterwards I thought again ,Why didn't I ask? I should have asked , I am a friend of him and I know how much mental tension he would be in along with his wife. Well if I had talked to him, he might have felt a little better though it is he who have to live his life with his family and Autistic son , and not only lead a life but lead a much secured life.

Why I failed to ask? It creeps me still today. Is is our society which stopped me from asking him or is it my conscience? Why I said society is becoz still today we stay in a society however HIG they are these issues are not taken the right way. Any neuro disease or related disease like depression etc are not considered normal. People start behaving oddly or many start avoiding too.

Lets not go into any other issues now and lets talk about Autism itself. Almost a year back there was a daily soap in Zee Tv which dealt with an Autistic Child. Why is it so? Why our society is still unfriendly to these? Is it that unless the issue is borne by someone ,  one wont understand.

Why are Autistics still thought as unfriendly. Why people dont understand that it is the problem and we should try to understand them more instead of avoiding them. Why dont we understand that this is a problem with which these challenged people will have to live life throughout.

What WE can do is understand them, increase our knowledge in  these (who knows a child with autism may come to our life too, what would we do in that case, will we be able to avoid ? NO is the answer I am sure)

Then why reciprocate the same to other families too?????

We can call ourselves a SOCIETY when we will learn to deal with all these ups and downs of life and make friends with these people who donot know a normal life until taught specially.

I am sure many of us know that these autistics are born with huge intelligence or a special power. There are many who have published thesis at a very young age. The best example is Temple Grandin. There is a movie in her name. I happened to see it just a few days back. This movie shows us and  helps us to learn that we can bring changes in these lives by becming a bit more caring and by standing by these people to help them to WIN in life. 

Shoe Polishing your way to glory!!

Shoe Polishing your way to glory!!
It was big headlines yesterday that a security guard attending to the chief minister of UP bend down to clean her shoes. It so happened that when she alighted from the chopper on her visit to Naunipur village her shoes became dirty and hence the guard took out his handkershief to clean it. Isnt it nice to hear that someone takes so much care of her.
This has led to huge furor in  the cabinet with opposition leaders voicing out their opinions on this. Congress spokesman Akhilesh Pratap Singh said, "Mayawati, who rode to power by claiming to fight against feudalism, has adopted the same culture after becoming the Chief Minister".
Well, well isnt it that it was congress who started the boot polish culture.

3 days to the commonwealth games 2010

In my last post i described the pityful condition of New Delhi due to the commonwealth games. It was still a sad scenario. Then yesterday one of my friend sent me an email which contained a few pitures of the different arenas where different events are to be held for this commonwealth games 2010.

The email contained some pistures some of which I am going to share here in this blog.

 

 

 

 

 

Does these pictures above show that we are not ready for the games. Well internally we are not but there are still small loopholes which needs to be filled. The morning news informed us that Australia has shown the green

9 days to the Commonwealth Games 2010

9 days to go for the commonwealth games and we are nowhere close to the expected standard. Pictures of dirty rest rooms, beds with muddy dao paws, flooded entrances to the appartments, dangerously open areas in corridors are hovering around the internet and daily newpapapers.

In this murky scenario one of the CWG bigshots commented that our hygiene standards are not equal to their standards. what a shamful comment from a person in charge of the organising commitee. I would like to ask this person Mr. Lalit Bhanot secretary general of the OC that how come hygiene differ from country to country. In India are we really proud of our hygiene ideas. Can the capital city of India boast of hygiene now. Just a few days back news of dengue and other related diseases

Asian Games 2010- A standing example in India

null

Today while going through the msn india headlines I was shocked to see that a bridge recently built in the commonwealth village games in new delhi has collapsed. The bridge was built at a cost of 5 crores and was completed within 2-3 days. Now with 12 days in hand this bridge collapse has added another crown to the already running CWG fiasco.

What hurts is that our politicians and bureaucrats showed a dismal picture of our country. This was supposed to be a huge affair

Are we Indians spending our valuable money on other resources?

India is going to see the costliest film in the Indian Film Industry soon. The film has been made at a whopping cost of 190 crores. Well I am eagerly waiting to see this movie as what interests me is where this amount of money was spent rather than how the movie is or who are starring. The hero in this movie is well known in Indian Film Circle as the costliest actor. It seems that one of his last movie was the costliest movie made in India few years back.
Not only this, there are other movies who are made at huge budget. India has many movie industries varying from one region to another. The most well known is the Indian Hindi Movie industry popularly known as Bollywood and the other is the South Indian Movie Industry. Now this South Indian Movie industry has 4 variations due 4 different languages in the southern region. Then there are other genres in India too like the Marathi, Bengali, and Bhojpuri etc.
The costliest are usually made in the Hindi and the Tamil Film Industry according to news sources. Thousand of crores are spent on the fees of the Heroes and Heroines. Even there are such actors and actresses who have a fixed scale and won’t accept a penny less.
The most amusing part is where does this money come from? Do we not still belong to the developing nations group? Do we not have millions of people who don’t get 2 times food a day? Well there are millions such including small children who go to sleep at night after just a glass of water may be. Let alone food for all, do we have the basic necessities in India that we spent billions in the movie industry. We pay our favorite actors and actresses in millions just for being our favorite actor and actress. I am stressing on “we pay” coz it s
