Casualty

2009-02-22T01:39:00.002+05:30

Saw a little boy today And he was bleeding

From his nose needing those who could Save him

To keep him from his grave but they

Were so far it was not as far as he could take it

So he could never make it and they

Said to his crying mother and his elder brother

Where is your father all the while the mother

Was wailing my child is failing and you

Are the one to save him and the brother

Grown up and responsible said to them

Is it possible that you could wait

My late father left me the burden

Tell me what has happened

The brother said come on mom outside

Let the doctors work inside and i will be

By both your sides

All this time the doctors were sucking the

Blood out of his tubes to place a tube

To aid his breathing but they were despairing

And they said call the time

Probably aspiration of the blood

We’ll need to confirm on post mortem

To him come outside again now give

Your name address and information

To the waiting police at the station and

Tell your mother not now but later

For it is you now who will cater

Not just to this formality but be the

Only source of some normality .

Never Forget

Indians are dead and humans.
The untold bravery of the mothers and fathers who died vainly shielding their children and the orphaned children.
The torture marks on innocent people that made hardened forensics men baulk at the sight.
The announcer at VT who, under fire, continued to guide people away from the danger zones.
The people who are our enemies, the people who have aided our enemies, giving them food and shelter.
The policemen and commandoes, named and unnamed, who have laid down their lives serving us.
Those who were sleeping on their watch, intent on regulating dance girls in preference to terrorists and those who promptly arrived to have and to eat political cake made from the spilt blood of humanity.
Our friends like the South African commandoes who saved a hundred lives when it wasnt even their damn job to.
The promises made to us by our leaders and by the leaders of our enemies.
The staff in the hotels who, in the highest Indian traditions, did not leave the side of their guests even at the cost of their own lives.
The enemies besetting us from all sides outside and from the inside - Pakistani military, naxalite revolutionary, Chinese hegemony, Islamic jehadi, Bangladeshi , Hindutvawadi.
The men who never send their children to the military and then call them dogs - the fathers who do.
The official you bribed ten years ago- he probably was promoted and was bribed by a terrorist today.
Importantly - the promises you have made to yourself this last year to defend this country, and perhaps - to vote.

The Search for Eve

2008-11-24T00:42:00.009+05:30

the story goes that many moons ago some female* due to her particularly carnal nature or the spectacular nature of the male's ability to lift heavy weights ( her for instance ) over a shoulder, had sex with him thus spawning all of mankind . she is called, because we have mostly used mitochondria to trace our descent from her, the mitochondrial eve.
she must have been crazy.
dont take my word for it . two cambridge grads have this to say.
- douglas noel adams - it was a bad idea to come down from the trees.
the clincher,
- mary beard (in her times literary supplement blog) -" it was the custom for women using public or restaurant lavatories to operate the flush with their feet – if it was at a reasonable height. "
http://timesonline.typepad.com/dons_life/2008/11/strange-america.html
the comments thereafter make very interesting reading.
the evidence gleaned from the numerous authoritative sources such as the results of the 2000 and 2004 prez elections in america, sandhyanand and video zonkers clearly show that not only has she given rise to a very strange line of daughters but also a very very strange species indeed.
the endless and mindless delving into the mechanics of toilet flushing and how one washes hands and difficulties thereof combined with the deep question of ` what to do with the doggy bag ?` is exactly the kind of instructions for toothpick use that drove wonko the sane to his asylum. (or was it out of it. )
what we need to do is -
1 find this lady
2 invent time travel
3 genetically modify her
4 find out who she mated with
5 kill him and
6 promptly disappear from existence from the past present and future. ( this being the necessary consequence because you were stupid enough to go meddling with a- a female b-a female relative ancestral to yourself c-einstein )
so we are stuck then in this world - spawn of that fateful evening - having to deal with toilet flushing issues and ads of sanitary napkins.
the ads for sanitary napkins are another proof of the extremely twisted nature of our genetic inheritance. sanitary napkins that suddenly bloom up in multipetal splendor and then absorb the sum total of all the fluid in a single average ocean are very routine on them. every woman (except for those poignant few primary amennorhoeics and secondary amenorrhoeics) bleeds at regular intervals but i doubt she emits veritable deluges that are only held back by the dykes that labor mightily against them.
All suggestions regarding what might have to be done tamaam bayanaton ko maddhenazar rakhte hue will be entertained.

PS
1 i dont know how to reconcile my use of information from outside sources with my assertion of copyright on this blogs contents. i attribute all direct quotes but that is about what i can do with my level of ip law knowledge.
2 the pune municipal corporation as part of it s duties to deal with biomedical waste conducts regular checks in hospitals. during one such inspection of a certain medical college outstanding performance for disposal practice was noted . the only objection raised was against the hostel. apparently the girls hostel of a medical college generates large quantities of biomed waste. the sanitary napkins were named "blood contaminated waste" and appropriate measures were ordered to be taken. after strong rebuttal of suggestions to establish within the hostel a central napkin disposal container the issue was swept under the carpet. clearly these sanitary napkins are a big problem.
3 wonder if the bra burners ever burnt sanitary napkins.

this is a paper based on the work "maitri " and " melghat mitra" have done in a concise manner .
i will clarify here that the work was not done so as to generate this paper rather the paper is a way to get the attention of those who can those who want to and those who should be doing this work .

some people must realize they are better off shutting up or producing proof when saying things in public . this human being needs to chill . some wise people have said - and it is true - that it is better to be quiet and be thought a fool than to speak and prove it .

http://udaythombre.blogspot.com/
dude i got nothing against you or your opinions . but atleast have some evidence before you start ranting . god knows we need people bringing the truth out [ witness famous iipm expose on the blogosphere ] but this kind of thing destroys the credibility of political comment on blogs .

i was converted in a christian school

2008-09-22T16:28:00.000+05:30

yes i was and there is no denying it . what a dastardly and obscene thing to have done to me .
imagine taking a kid who is innocent and converting him .
so what happened is this . the school i went to is a jesuit school . it has priests and everything . i was induced to be in this school for nine years of my life under false pretences . i was told i would be allowed to be me and develop my potential and do the best i could . that never happened .
instead i was induced to work hard . i saw the world from the moral and human perspective . i was able to see that there is a fundamental unity to the world . i was made to work my ass off and develop beyond the potential i carried . i became a doctor . i became a human and yes a better hindu and above all an indian .
how horrid that my school was able to convert me into a doctor a good human and an indian .

the delhi police needs congratulations . the encounter leading up to two deaths and arrests is to be commended . the brave policemen who went in and were injured have this nations gratitude .
jules ribeiro sir has pointed out that encounters are sudden and unplanned and that even at the height of mumbais anti gang war he never created what have come to be called encounter specialists .
police in general are the worst off lot in all government service . eighteen hour days with no money to show for it , no family time and whatever action they take is pilloried by the press politicians and society at large . have a thought for these guys who are given no money to fuel their patrol vehicles . when they do go out on patrols they are grossly undermanned .
i wonder whether people saw a ndtv docu which showed an anti naxalite force man deactivating a mine with nothing but his hands and teeth . he wore no armor had no gloves no cutters nothing . just another day for him then .
a case in point of the plight of the good police officer . the bajrang dal chief is on record to state that his organisation is responsible for the killings in orissa and the outrages in karnataka . he is not yet arrested . the government of the day wont order him arrested .
there is now enough proof that the bajrang dal is an armed anti national force . ban it . they are building bombs , destroying the common mans peace creating an atmosphere of internal discord in short acting against the central ttenets of the constitution of india .
there are terrorists all over india . they come in all guises . naxal , islamic , hindu , kashmiri bangladeshi , pakistani . the need is to have men on the ground doing the job of basic policing . orissa beset by naxals , sanghis and radical christians has virtually no policemen . naxals openly with full clamor invade and take over police stations killing policemen . the maharashtra intelligence branch has no money and next to no staff . what will the point be of having a new law if you dont have people to implement the present ones .
recognise our enemies from the outside . pakistan is the fount of all money and logistics for the islamic jehadis . they are preparing for war with india . even their staunchest allies in america concede this . china and their local representatives in myanmar give safe haven to northeastern militants . china is building roads and massing troops on our east .
the enemy within is not so much a creation of ours as much as a byproduct . when criminals run free and have so much power there is a natural progression from the idea of crime to the action . when the law is implemented [ two shining examples - punjab with ribeiro and gill and andhra with the greyhounds for the naxals ] there is hesitation and the concept of right and wrong has time to act . give our men in uniform more men in uniform . they will act preventively investigate and convict then instead of act to prevent an investigation and never take action .

PS - the military men of this nation have received a raw deal in the sixth pay commission . build up national support by reiterating this point . atleast that might raise their morale .

The Point that is to Be Made is That

2006-02-26T04:29:00.000+05:30

In a land ( and this is revolutionary in this field ) not very far from here there lived a woman . This obviously makes life very complicated for me and everyone else . It is time therefore to introduce a twist . The woman meets a man from a land far far away . This is of course an event occurring purely by chance not having been orchestrated by sinister and/or non-sinister forces .
So that is all we shall say about that , the fact of ( or the point in ) the matter being that they met . This caused the woman to be greatly revolted . ( This story is obviously meant to boggle the mind . )
Why , you might ask , was she of all things , revolted . You see she was told as a little girl in pigtails that strangers ( by which of course we mean men from lands far far away ) were bad . She was in a word , xenophobic .
But still , why revolted ? Why not scared or angry ? Well because he was not scary . I mean ie the chronicler means that the man was puny and was barely even of a definable stature . Not angry , because well , he was not mean . Not then a man capable of arousing xenophobia . In fact , when the two met – the man and the woman ie ( you see some readers forget ) – he was very polite . He said something to the effect of the day being rather pleasant and the woman ( the one from a land not very far from here ) lending even more pleasantness to it . The question then remains - why revolted ?
Because of his dress . It was because of his dress . When he was commenting on days and women and their synergistic effect on overall pleasantness , she was closely observing his outfit . Who on earth , she thought , would wear a dress inclusive of purple trousers and a pink shirt . This revelation has hopefully cast from the minds of the readers the grave sense of apprehension regarding the mechanisms of women`s minds .
Hardly did the shock of the ensemble pass than she realized his buttons were irregularly buttoned . She hastened to point this out to him . This caused him immediately to cease his contemplation on the theory of the pleasantness of everything . In fact he realized that life had pitfalls and that this was one of them . He proceeded to essay a stunning comeback with a reply almost unprecedented in all history . He said , “ Madam , haven’t you heard ? Everyone out in the land far far away wears their buttons just so . It is quite passé among the fashionable crowd to wear them straight . “
Revulsion , fie upon you , you revolting emotion . How dare you arise ? This man is fashionable . Fashionable cannot be revolting . I could probably get him to tell me a few of his ideas on fashion . Then I could get back at that woman from a land not very far from here ( from where , if you recall , she herself was ) . She is always going on about the clothes they wear in a land far far away . ( Since this is a complicated story , the land far far away just mentioned is not the same land far far away that we were referring to with respect to the man with purple trousers and pink shirt )
( Note from author :- Bracketted sentences are the author`s thoughts other than those he considers absolutely essential to the comprehension and appreciation of the story by the readers . They are however vitally important to himself . )
“ So irregularly buttoned shirts a land far far away , are they ? Must be unusual , the place , I mean . I have traveled to lands far away but they seem to be very similar to my own in the mode of their raiment . You must tell me more of yourself and the place where you come from . “
“ You are very kind madam . All a journeying man needs is an attentive ear and maybe some food and drink . “
“ Don`t worry about it . People can gain immensely from knowledge of lands far far away . “
( Society has rightly made it a great virtue to listen to women when they speak and knowing from their talk what they really are thinking. This being a complicated story we break new ground and listen to the man . )
“ Well madam as you wish then . I come from a land far far away . ( We will now discontinue the use of this term and replace it with Pinkland . ) I mean Pinkland . A rather nice place where people are always happy and gay . As I have already told you , people wear their buttons irregular . This fashion caught on with the launch of the ` Weird ` line by Weird dude and Noted fashion guru in the summer just passed . The buttons on women’s clothing are rather bigger to accentuate their feminity . They tend to wear blue and red which as I see is in total contradistinction to the colors you ladies seem to wear .”
( Spare a moment for the lady`s thoughts – Wow the guy has command over language . )
“ The architecture in the place is also at variance to your `s . It is rather more earthy . Vibrant colors and natural materials are used to reflect our deep connection with nature .”
“ The people as I have already said are always gay and they are perpetually finding occasion to make merry .You cannot in all the world find a happier people . They like to enjoy after the hard work they put into their jobs in the ultramodern factories and burgeoning farms . “
( Spare another moment – Oooh ! )
“ I`m a guy who loves to travel . One meets a lot of interesting people that way . “
( Moment – Ooooh ! )
“ I mean look at yourself . But that later . I can cook and can clean up after myself too . Iwork in the entertainment industry . It is a place that lets me express myself and bring out the many dimensions within myself . I act in movies and at times take up direction too . Having spent a lot of time among crass films I have finally managed to distill a pure art form and have developed myself as an actor true to the creed of acting . All my work is now sincere to itself thus attaining self sufficiency eliminating the need to validate it with the mere opinion of the body public . It takes a true viewer to plumb the depths of what we are trying today . “
( Ah well . I had to ask . )
“ My mother has raised me to be a good Pinklander . I have therefore traveled to every part . It is a magical land . Being in my line of work in a magical land means sometimes the line between reality and virtuality blurs beyond any recognition .
The lady cuts in at this point , “ I must really be going . It`s been nice to speak to you . “
( Moment – Atleast I got a story )
So that is all we have to say about that . But this story is descended from the very knots tied by unthinking scouts in an effort to turn out a sheepshank . It has the character of one likely to pop up from behind a wall and ensnare one when least expected .
The man from Pinkland realized that his story about the buttons had gone too far . He straightened out the shirt front and turned around because forward lay the way to a reunion with the woman just departed . Now whom should he bump into but the stupid woman from a land not very far from here ( which is now called Orangia . )
The stupid woman is actually very intelligent . In fact she is the most intelligent being in Orangia . On seeing the man from Pinkland ( who the reader will recall was quite a spectacle in his purple trousers and pink shirt ) she felt exhilarated .
An endless series of questions was asked before regarding the appearance of revulsion in the mind of the orangian woman . So the effort is to cut out all the stress associated with a prolonged research into this obscure line of thought .
It was because just as she saw him a Giant Condor soared over her high . But how the …….. ( no questions remember .)
She followed the bird in it` s path in the sky . Doing great justice to her status as the most intelligent woman in Orangia she completely ignored the Pinklander .
On seeing her look up , he turned his gaze too and looking up he suddenly broke into a mighty run . Why he should desire to make such a rapid exit from the story he has failed to justify till date . Suffice it to say there was a reason .
Now the stupid lady from Orangia saw the lady from Orangia .
The lady proceeded to tell the stupid lady all the latest trends in Pinklander fashion . The stupid lady then suddenly remembered that the man`s buttons were proper when she had seen the condor . This became a contentious issue . 15 minutes and numerous names called caused no solution to emerge .
It was finally resolved ( obviously since the story is recursively convoluted in 13 dimensions ) by the arrival of the man from a land far far away ( as Pinkland sounds like nothing on earth ) in his ordinarily buttoned shirt . ( also obvious )
The sight of the man this time aroused no revulsion and not even exhilaration . Actually that is strictly speaking wrong . The stupid woman was exhilarated because she was right . The lady was very sad because she was wrong and since she obviously ( which is obviously a word I have used too much ) had been had .
The stupid woman , who was very intelligent and also as just shown , right , will be rechristened Smart Dame .
Smart Dame kissed the man from a land far far away . Just like that . Standing there she kissed him . He was stunned and she was further exhilarated .
For all his shortcomings , which included , if you hadn` t already noticed . being a teller of tall tales , there was one thing he could do well . He could kiss a woman . Kiss her till she forgot about the world .

why do such men exist ? are not ambassadors meant to be people sent to maintan the peace between nations . ofcourse this includes the mandate to further the interests of the home nation . this man certainly seems to have overstepped the limits of his office . there is a matter of protocol and established practise . in his case he should have either written to the foreign office or made personal contact in a back channel manner . not every politician in america is a india lover . in fact so many of them have acted in direct antagonism to india`s interests it would almost be possible to call them anti india and their nation as a whole anti indian . i do not however recall the indian ambassador going out of his way to express his opinion to the media and to all the politicians . he represents what must be called the `` ugly american `` . brash and of the firm opinion that they do own the world . even if the truth is that they do he is still in the position of being in this country as a representative of his nation and it`s culture . the possiblity that the first is held hostage by a conspiratorial government and the second is a mere figment of imagination must be entertained .
coming to what the gentle man has decided to defend . george w bush is a joke and has been one ever since he was sensationally elected in an atmosphere of no suspicion at all about his brother and the attorney general along with fox news skewing everything . the man has been good to India but that is about his only redeeming feature . then again we must remember the plight our neighboring nations are in because America was on their side .
it is fanciful in the extreme for the cpi to talk of propriety ofcourse . they will not be showing a visiting head of state the courtesy of attending his address to parliament . but they are citizens of India and as such are entitled to their views and actions within the framework of laws . however the ambassador has definitely overstepped his boundaries .

sassoon

2005-12-06T01:40:00.000+05:30

some facts regarding sassoon
the sassoon general group of hospitals including the david sassoon , jacob sassoon and new sassoon buildings is a very old institution of pune .
the sassoons who founded the hospital were great jewish philanthropists and businessmen .
the world is however round and what goes around comes around . [ needless statement that ]
sample these .
the sassoons were the worlds largest traders of opium . restating that - they were the monopoly sole rights holders to the entire opium trade to china in the nineteenth century .
uncredited quote "silver and gold, silks, gums and spices, opium and cotton, wool and wheat-- whatever moves over sea or land feels the hand or bears the mark of Sassoon and Company".
http://theory.tifr.res.in/bombay/persons/david-sassoon.html

we have all heard of the opium wars . but did you know that those wars were fought by the british army as paid mercenaries [ well almost ] of the sassoon family . theses were fought because the emperor of china confiscated the sassoon`s opium . also post these wars the sassoon family received sole proprietorship of almost all the dens in all of china . the second opium war was funded by them too .

the family set up mills in bombay . these mills did so well that the manchester and lancashire mills were all shut down or became sick . then the family set up endowment funds to alleviate the sufferings of those who lost their jobs .

this is ofcourse not to turn away their phenomenal contribution to india . bombay without those mills would have been half the city it is now . shanghai would have been the lesser . british polity
and poetry would have lost out .
these people were like all great traders . they played a lot with the dark side to bring the light . and they made a neat packet too .

Let There Be Light

2005-11-16T19:04:00.000+05:30

It so happened that on a certain day during those exertions that God underwent in order that we exist he uttered the above title . He did so with all the force and authority at his command . However he suddenly realised that not all authorities were in entire agreement with him . He there fore had to repeatdly say the line . This then is an account of how God had to labour even more than we credit him with having done .

And God said `` Let there be Light .``
And His Wife `` Get off Your Arse You Lazy Slob and switch it on Yourself .``

Then He shook off His surprise and said once again

`` Let there be Light .``
and the Electricity Board said
`` You wish .``

Now greatly worried He repeated

`` Let there be Light .``
And His secretary said
`` Sir , the council wont accept verbal orders .``

Thwarted once more he repeated ,
`` Let there be light .``
So George Bush went to Congress and told them ,
`` God has told me to invade Iraq .``

The Night

2005-11-03T00:57:00.000+05:30

The night , infinitely more beautiful than the day , saw a boy on a walk . The day stared out at him , stark , revealed all in a blinding light and concealed nothing . The night enveloped him .
On that night he set out to see the darkness . He walked into the night and as always felt safe in it`s envelope .
A fight of someone`s right broke out . Apparently causeless , it played out , to end fruitless . The fighters were drawn apart and promised to do unto the other what only monsters were capable of . This was scheduled for the next day , by which time each was convinced the other would be convinced anyway . So saying they went away amidst a hail of profanities .
Further down the road shops began to close for the night . Shopkeepers hung their wares in deep recesses and stacked their containers . They shut down the artificial light . Then their assistants downed the shutters and they were all gone . He wondered what persuaded them to leave their shops in darkness . Unseen dangers did not exist for them , he thought .
Along the path ahead was a lottery shop . People plunged into the game of fortune . The night was dark . So were their minds , dark with the brew of the local brew and the effects of it . So many of them knew their hopes of the day before were shattered but the darkness did not let them look ahead . An emptiness was reflected in their eyes , from the absence of conflict in their actions .
Cars whizzed by . Urged on by their owners they surged to - surged to where ? Home perhaps , where they would sleep .The lights would be put out there . An ambulance passed . It wailed its way through the traffic . In the hospital behind it alerted someone even before it was seen . He remembered the sound from every night . No lights would be put out where that ambulance came from . No lights were put off where it went .
An empty road loomed ahead . Poles bearing directions jutted out . They showed the way to follow in the light cast by the tall lamps near them . The lamps were guides too , put there by men to quell the dark .
At the bottom of a pole he sat down . He looked up and saw the stars . Cold distant lights that were guides as effective as the tall lamps . The lamps were different though , from the ones in his own memory . The stars he always knew as they were . Their sight soothed him . He lapsed into a reverie seeing Orion hunting , Canis aiding him , Great Bear waiting , the Guards protecting Polaris . The reverie passed and he moved further .
A car pulled up ahead of him . A girl got into the back seat . There were two men in the front seat . Another girl sat on a bench on the footpath . As he came closer her sobs reached him . A man came to her , pulled her closer , covered her eyes and placed his hand on her head .
He was close to his home now . He stopped and took a deep breath , stretched out his arms and looked up once . Once at home he changed his clothes put off the lights and went to sleep .

newspaper nightmares

2005-09-23T17:53:00.000+05:30

have you noticed how in the recent past there have been full page ads for doctors .
there were ads for some man who claims to be a national award winning orthopaedician . then there were all these ads from a couple regarding non invasive investigations for coronary artery disease . even the hospitals are getting in on the act witness the numerous notifications for emergency services which [ perhaps only incidentally ] mention the name of the hospital .
this is in the allopathy side of medical care . the near impunity with which our traditional and other system practitioners advertise themselves is downright obscene . i mean i suppose the guarantee of - no side effects - is enticing but what about the effects in the first place .
google news reports that we will soon be taught traditional medicine as well as part of the medical curriculum .
and now for the icing . pune times interviews with doctors .
sample these quotes[ misquotes anyone ]
- " whether or not your baby will be born premature is decided mainly by the gestational age at birth , doctors have discovered . "
- " urgent need to eradicate haematology ." [i suppose this was to mean haemat diseases .]
- " one of the main symptoms of adhd is pain in the ear ." [ somehow this was the most important symptom that the reporter found after an interview with a psychiatrist ]
where do they find these people i wonder .
