India needs freedom from Kashmir and not the vice versa

The reaction to call of Bandh by Jammu for allotting just few plots of land for Amarnath Pilgrims ( so that they are safe and in less danger of being the perfect dartboard for Islamic Militants) came as burning and stomping of tricolor yesterday, chanting the "pro-azzadi " slogans in a more defiant and hoarser voice, the call for march to Muzzafarabad or aligning with Pakistan and of course turning a blind eye to all the benefits they enjoyed while being part of India.

In 60 years of their association with India - Kashmir and their people have enjoyed the following a) A Rule that no one could buy land in the " paradise" . But they could venture to any part of country, study, work, buy land and settle down.
b) 15 years ago when I was still at school - Rice @ Eastern part of India ( where Rice was cultivated) was available at price 3 times more than in Kashmir and it is still the same.
c) Almost at same time, the Islamic militants backed by Let and ISI from across the border, raped, looted, massacred and drove away their Hindu Brothers from the so called "Pure Land".
To diagnose the situation its essential to know the history of Kashmir. Centuries back it was a Hindu state which had large number of Hindu institutions and it was the way of life for the people there. At time of Ashoka, Buddhism got an official patronage and then Hindusim coexisted with Buddhism. The Buddhist touch could still be felt in areas of Ladhakh.

Then came the Islamic onslaught. Let it be known that Hinduism followed in Kashmir was inclined towards Shaivism ( a cult whose main religious deity was Lord Shiva) and they all belonged to same caste / jaati. So all the logic that Islam got accepted because it was away from caste system ( which is not true ) is erroneous. Islam got accepted mainly because of governance and slaughtering. The power of sword and doctrines. On one hand there were frequent raids by Islamic bandits, who forced the Hindus in kashmir to choose between pride, honor, peace, power versus religion/ belief . This was when few Hindus, started a new sect, called Khalsa( sikh sect) to protect Hindu women from being looted from the homes to harems. ( Pity the kashmiris we know now are fighting from that side which had inflicted these wounds on them)

Secondly, mughal emperors who were fascinated by the beauty of Land and used it as vacation spot, doctrined the infamous rule " No one could buy land in Kashmir other than Kashmiris " , acted as a catalyst to the mass conversion. The last powerful mughal emperor - Aurangzeb- was more vehement with Islamization of Kashmir. He imposed taxes on non believers ( Hindus, Buddhist) coz he believed any other definition of God or his teaching other than what Muhammad the prophet has spoken is heresy.
With British Rule( though visibly Kashmir was under Hindu Prince), things got stabilised. But then partition happened and rest is what we have been witnessing. There has hardly been a Kashmiri who has done India proud. But they have been great with bombing their own country men and demanding more and more. The time has come now, when we should leave them for good.

The ideal solution is , as Mulla from Jama Masjid says, yet another partition of India. Let us get an Independance from Kashmir but that should come at some cost. Let Kashmir take all muslims from India.

Lets have a fairer partition this time.

Random Judgement

The only thing that is predictable is unpredictableness - this could well sum the jist that

Randomness reins and rules

Right from the genesis of world, where determinism is facing a recognisation crisis -to the science that we know now as science - to the belief that tomorrow we would see the sun rise from east .. all events are unpredictable..
Clearly Aristotle would have believed that Earth is Flat , only to be proved wrong by the Rennaisance age rebel thinkers , who denounced the Catholic belief and declared " Earth is round" ..
Aristotle and Greek phillosophers voices were ebbed only to be revived but by economist of todays who proclaim that with Globalisation Earth is Flat.. so we are at what we were .. but we have been in a roller coster ride more like a sine wave ...
this is the power of science and human limitation .. we are and all our thoughts are so much UNPREDICTABLE ..
What else is predictable ?? Lets examine their truthness and sanctity ..
Google "predictable" and you would land up in the POP band from Australia with similar name rather than events which could be classified remotely as PREDICTABLE ..
so why is then the Fuss over how things should be tomorrow leave alone talks of when one is 60 or so ??
Why cant the idea of living in present and learning from past be the sufficient qualifying conditions ???

Well one Accounting Genius says .. that predictable things exist and they are ones which are PRACTICAL .. :) so the obvious question would be then what is PRACTICAL ??
simple .. things which are predictable !!! ( hair pulling definitions )

So you see all those who keep on barking on why some are not predictable could take a lesson on how he/ she is in state of oblivion ...

POOR Song ( a tribute to all those fellas who should never pen a poem)

We all are poets .. the question is how good..
but as usual .. I damn care about the other million peoples wishes and do what it needs to be done .. do what I think should be done .. so here is the poem dedicated to me :)

Penned it when I was on a terrific academic form ( scoring lowest marks) at college
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I am going nowhere, lost in the thoughts and lost in translation
the winds blowing so strong feels that am loosing the ground
with shaky feet I tread on the road so desolate with faces all frowned
the vision gets blurred with every hour,the beats get dimmer faster than I could hold
I shout I scream and cry for the guidance
the voice still seems to get lost in hollowness enveloped
scarred to tread myslefwith chains so heavy wrapped around and lofty spirits forced to ground
pulling me inwards softly whispers the voices aloud
I cry and now I know this is not the way I want things to end
So i bury myself while the rest are dancing around
and then come out loud and strong
promise myself that i would sort the things and break apart from the mound
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
sounds crazy but it always has to be crazy to make it look apart

Alumni meet: Meeting in PRESENT with the PAST to decide the FUTURE

Being at cross roads of Time is always interesting .. like dreaming about how things would change at your graduation day at the first day in your college , or how YOUR kids would look like when you have just started dating your ( or some one else) girl friend .. or for that matter enjoying the deja-vu when you watch kids playing in rain and wished that you could return to the careless world , long to drive the time machine in reverse gear and be with same set of friends.....Sadly Science has taken a back seat in this case.. its all the mind game when it comes to meeting the time at its various stages..

so trying to brush the crap aside.. Last week ( well almost the last ) , we had this Alumni meet
" thrown" at us.. The first impression when we got the news from the 2nd (.. wait .. 3rd .. no no .. 4th )hand about Alumni meet @ SPJCM @ mumbai was Unplanned, Rushed in and a meeting befitting the underworld for it was so much hidden and less known about..

Call it being jobless and almost useless after my office hours, call it the lust for free booze, call it the meet to know profs in a decorumless environment and call it meet to meet some special bunch of old friends who bore the torture at campus with me for a year ... it was all that

Plus I was not at home cooking (thatz the most sensible thing I do after work) making some one else's dinner one more time pathetic...

So Steeeled was I in for the meet that the pouring super rains could not deter me ..at same time .. one of my good hearted friends was kind enough 2 let me hop in along with him in his car for the meet.. After this event .. Almost evry odd obstacle fell apart..

I need not worry about the turn out at the event for I had atleast a company of 4 ( that many ppl were in the car), no more worries on ruining my new shoes in rain or hopping around cabs/trains/buses to reach the place.

At the end, I felt, the meet would have been worth even with these obstacles. The meet was plain .. devoid of glitz which normally accompanies Alumni meet .. less of borrowed/imported good looking girls on stage( in fact there was no stage .. the room was small ..akin to what we see in TV .. the ideal meeting room for Revolutionaries.. small .. chairs all around .. and less of windows or glassy doors). The only thing that would widen your lips was the sight of Carlsberg.
But the fun was more than that .. I reconnected with my old friends.. friends who were limited to few lines on chat windows.. .friends boxed in adress book .. whom I never called just because I didnt knew what to talk .. friends who were around while I was hunting for them in all scientific manners.. The meetz focus revolved around future of college and how alumni could do and should do things.. it was quite a realisation ( and special thanks to Carlsberg for that) to find that indeed I had done a Time machine ride..

Being with old friends, now , to talk about our future..
What a Cross Road Sirjiii !!!
