To be confined to homes or offices or trafic jams? that is the question uppermost in the minds of Delhikars and Mumbaikars. It is well nigh impossible to get out of the house in the morning during the office hours i.e. 8 am to 12 pm and you are alsways stuck in the traffic . It takes hours together to reach the place of work. The staff members start in the morning at 6 a.m. to reach office at 8 am. and those who leave in the evening at 6 pm reach home at 9 p.m.
In Mumbai, I wait till about 10 p.m. to commute from the workplace to reach home. After 10 p.m. when the traffic is less, it takes me only 30 minutes to reach home at Juhu from Nariman Point. My outings also start at late hours say 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.to avoid the traffic jams and enjoy the peaceful, hasslefree nightlife in Mumbai. However, in New Delhi , I am back home by 9 p.m. There is no night life for me in New Delhi.
Traffic jams are worse in Pune, Jaipur, Agra and other smaller towns. There is no disciplene. There is no awareness of driving rules like drive in the same lane do not change the lane,autorikshas and bicycles can not occupy the centre or the first lane. The unruly overtaking , speed, the sudden crossing and dash by the pedestrians, the vast number of private vehicles plying on the roads are some of the problems. I have been driving variety of cars for last several years all over India, I find it difficult to drive on the highways and in cities mainly becauses the buses and trucks are the speedsters, come on to you and cause accidents.Most of the time these are fatal accidents. Many a time, when I am driving a car on the high way, I imagine or see my car being toppled and crushed by heavy vehicle. It is like a premonition and shudder at the thought. Fortunately, I drive big cars like Lancer and Sonata or earlier BMW and Honda Acord. Hence I feel that there will be no loss of life. I always fasten my seatbelt and make others to do that.
I interact with many traffic police in the cities and highways and thery all complain to me to do something about the unruly traffic. Their main complain is that there are exorbitant number of verhicles on the road and the roads and infrastructure almost remain the same. The plight of Mumbai city is the worst. More and more sky scrapers are coming up . There is only vertical growth in buildings. However, the traffic congestion, water and elctricty shortage, car parking problems have multiplied. The mega cities of Mumbai and New Delhi are not livable.

open letter to Sonia Gandhi
Dear Soniaji,
You talk with lot of contempt and hatred when you refer to assertive, strong hindu sentiments. Hindutva and Hindu sentiments are not bad in fact they are the lifeline of our country, India from time immemoreal. The centuries old customs and traditions, the habits of food, cloth, the dance , the music, the family culture, the oneness of the society are some of the brilliant and positive features of Hindu famillies, Hindu religion and philosophy of Hindutva.
The experties in Software, in IT, telecommunications, in manufacturing, in trade and business, strides in education and sports, art and culture are all thanks to our adherence of tenets of Hinduism and faith and trust in Hinduism, When the whole world is looking upto India and its people to lead the world to peace and prosperity, your talk of Hinduism in negative way casts a shadow of doubt on the intentions of Congress. Is it for development? Is it for peace and law and order and providing security to people of India? Congress never stood for anti hinduism as projected by your leadership and the goernment at the Centre. In India, the majority of people, frankly speading 85% of the population, lives, breathes, eats and dreams of hindu principles and philosophy. Your attack and aggressive postures are hurting the Indians all over the world.
India stands for merit, performance and good governance.
Whereas Congress stands for dynesty rule, psychophancy, poor performance and poor governance. The government which does not and can not give security and protection to its citizens of India has no right to rule the country.
India in the 21st century requires stong leadership, assertive leadership, strong fundamentatlsanf principles of corporate governance and governace of states and nation
and not fake and psudo ideas of appeasement of minorities, reservations as against merit in education and services. Let the hard working Indian get the job, let the hard working sturdernt get the chance to go to the best of shools and colleges. I belong to minority of Jain community. I can very proudly say that I am born in country like India where principles of Hinduism, Jainism, Budhdhism , Islam and Chrisianity prevail simultaneously. The cohesivelness and unity of India lies in the fact that all religions are allowed to flourish. The minorities with their different culture and religion are respected as well. As a Jain, I have never faced any hindrance in my preacching or follwing and propogating the Jain tenets of coooperation, peace and violence.
Any religion or fanatics who spread violence, death and destruction are to be condemned and disapproved. India requires peace and protection, not fanaticism and violence. Disrupting the day ot day life in New Delhi and Mumbai and other parts of the country through terorist attacks, bomb blasts and violence can not combat or halt the progress of the country as the development in India is built on the foundations of equal opportunities, merit, hard work,ingenuineness of Indian people believing in peace, cooperation, non violence and positive environment.
The Congress Party has lost its way in the maze of rhetoric of psychophants and leaders who are cut off from the ground realities. Time has come to do introspection by the central leadership which sits tight in offices with A/cs and heaters in New Delhi least bothered about the woos and troubles of common and poor men and women of India

Anil Kumble deserves all cudos as captain of India
Anil Kumble has done it again. Anil Kumble as a captain of India in Test matches is a different player all together. Instead of pushing the ball through, he has floating the ball more oftern and bowling googlies. It is a great sight to watch Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh bowling in tandem and being the main wicket takers. Our strength is spin bowling and that fact has been highlighted again. With solid line up of Saurav, Rahu and Sachin, Yuvraj and others, India is on its way to win the Ist Test against Australia in Melbourne and win the Test series too.
Congratulations Anil Kumble.Great bowling , captain. Positive environment and frame of mind has done wonders to your confidence and lifted your bowling skills. Keep it up Anil.

narendra modi, lokhandi purush, sardar from Gujarat has won
Narendra Modi vijayi ho. Victory to Narendra Modi. The victory high lights good governance, the people of Gujarat backing up strong, assertive, positive leadership of Narendra Modi.Hindutva of BJP and Narendra Modi has won and the Hindutva of Congress has been defeatedThe progress of India as developed country from developing country and poor country is mainly because the people of India believe that Hindutva is way of life. Hindu religion is not fanaticism but belief in Satyam , Shivam , Sunderam. The Beauty is in all inclusive development and not lopsided development. Peace and non violence are the main pillars of Hindu civilization.
Those who oppose Hindutva oppose development of all, oppose peace and non-violence.
india can not be governed and ruled by people who do not have faith in Hindutva. They are anti-nationalist, anti Indian people and oppossed to progress of India as Developed Nation and Super Power.
People of India will show to the world that Hindutva is not only the foundation stone of all the achievements of Indians all over the world also the world torch bearers of peace and non violence will come from India and Hindutva.

the giver and the taker
God is the giver, the Daata. He gives life, water, fresh air, metal, earth ,sky, wealth, health, prosperity, happiness and joy. The celebrations of life are the thanksgiving to God for providing everything in abundance to humankind. The humanbeings are the takers. We plunder, squander, damage and destroy the ecology, the beauty and the planet"s wealth. The giver is always in peace, contented, joyful and happy. The taker is unhappy, dicontented, aggrassive,violent. Give, Give, Give. The one who gives always gives and is happy. The one who takes always takes and is always dissatisfied, unhappy. All miseries befall on him who takes. Illhealth, starvation, miseries follow him. Everyone deserts him. Loneliness, misery are his only companions/ Give and be Godlike always connected and contented and happy
