Colours and Racism

I wonder that, since times immemorial, this has been a common thinking that 'protect your eyes because they can see COLORS of life'. Since times immemorial, painters have strived to get a hold on the COLORS. Even the monochrome is a COLOR then why some of us humans are averse to COLORS ??!!??

I am talking in the light of the recent humiliation the Indian shooting contingent had to face at the hands of some morons. The Indian and the foreign authorities may be speaking a few words and writing it off as not a case of racism but the act of the English authorities speaks volumes !!!!

Do they have any justification why the door was slammed in the face of the Indian players and, even if it was done by mistake, the mistake could have been corrected and the door may have been opened up. But, in turn, English authorities came up and, allegedly, threatened the Indian shooters of dire consequences.

In another incident, 2 female Indian shooters were asked to get off the bus. Etiquettes flow from UK and the manners are still called English manners and then such an attitude ??!!??

I am sure that not all of English citizens are like this and that there are some worn out minds that still keep their backs at the rising sun.

But that positive thought does not dilute the situation, nor should we let it be diluted for it is not the insult of a few individuals but of the entire nation, which is not a new thing. As history has it, Mahatma Gandhi was thrown outta train for being coloured, Mrs Indira Gandhi was insulted by the US president and, if I am not mistaken, UK archives have some documents in which the ministers, during a conversation, have even abused. Mr George Fernandes, who visited the US as the then Defense Minister of India, was FRISKED ON THE AIRPORT and was even asked to take off the clothes or the shoes. He ought to have come back right away and India ought to have taken up the issue. But no !!!!

Our countrymen still, probably, live in the mentality of KSHAMA !!! For us, the respect of the nation is nothing. They say that in US every one is frisked. There is no differentiation when it comes to security. Does the protocol of the other nation not mean anything? It does !! Its just that we are spineless enough no to be able to press for that.

On the flip side, in normal course, even shoes are not permitted on Raj Ghat. Fair enough. But when US President visits India, weapons are allowed there BECAUSE THAT WAS THE SECURITY PROTOCOL OF THE US !! If you have a policy, stick to it. Just because the visitor is the US President, you bend backwards completely...Shame !!

Now, again the manager of the Indian contingent, when asked whether there is a possibility of the Indian team heading back to India, denied any such possibility. Can't you guys be strong enough? They are promising to take action. Dont JUST PROMISE yar, do something. Let us know that there is someone who can stand by our honour as the honour of the nation.

Hobbies

Pursuing a hobby is a different thing and pursuing a hobby SERIOUSLY is a pain..Boy, I have been trying to pursue photography as you all know. I am thankful to this gentleman in Lucknow to whom I mail my pics over and he sends his critique.

I think that a particular pic is good but when I receive his critique, he just blasts me off. For example, this pic. Apparently, it looks, if not good, OK. I mailed it over to him, as usual. And as usual, he slammed it saying "could have been better but for the 2 red flowers". Visually, they look good but aesthetically, for a photographic image, they are DIVERSIONS !!!!!

Whatever you do is less if you wanna be good.

On my way, lets see.

Blog

Why does it happen that after sometime your blog becomes irregular. Is it because you get bored or your life has lost all the new things which could be poured into one?

Is it happening only with me or does it happen with every blogger around?

Sunday And Monday

As usual, Sunday was to be and was spent lazying around, reading novel and the stuff.

Monday was to be and is boring office day.

I wonder at times whether the life has chosen its track ???? No change in schedules, no newness. Everyday is the same day. The only difference lies in the calendar.

I remember a joke -- Life is So Busy That After Monday And Tuesday, Even The Calendar Says W-T-F !!!!

Office Works

Lotta work in office guys..Assignments and assignments..But its good. Getting to learn.

Had a visit to the doc today for my throat problem. He asked me to get the throat swab culture again and if it is positive again, I might have to get the tonsil removed.

I wish I don't have to.

Ajmal Kasab's Sentence

Ajmal Amir Kasab, the accused of the Mumbai terror blasts was sentenced to death recently. No doubt the decision was rapid. Took just 1 or 1-1/2 year in toto. But we are so habitual of delayed judgments that, along with the happiness over the judgment, we are forced to think if it is the baby of some over zealous judge or the pressure of the social sentiments !!!! Whatever it is, the bugger came to a rightful end.

Debate is on if such people should get the lawyers to defend them. I also think that why they should be fed in the Indian jails which are already over crowded with the under trials (corroborating my surprise over rapid judgment in this case) ?? A lawyer once gave a justification that let it be a FORMALITY so that the people don't raise the fingers on the judicial system.

I want to ask that which people are you worried about...Pakistan, which herself sent this asshole or US which screwed the International Law and screwed 2 nations completely or China which came into your boundary and painted the soil red? Down the line, why could you not hang him on the dome of the Taj in full public view? Who was stopping you? What if evidences were "inadequate" in his case also? Would you have acquitted him as well in the name of the justice while knowing fully well that he is THE ONE ?!?

I read once - "Justice is much more than the codes and precedents...." . The writer may have meant something else but I think it has equal worth if such buggers are given a PROPER GUN SALUTE !!!!!!!
