Striking hard the strikers..

The nation has been witnessing the strong stands of the truck drivers and owners who refused to hit the gas few days back in an attempt to persuade the Indian Government to consider cutting down the diesel price and exempting these trucks and lorries from toll taxes. I understood how selfish and incorrigible these truck drivers and their supporting unions are for they want the Government not to burden them with these taxations but they don't mind if their burden is transferred to the people of the nation. I can't believe that these truck drivers are totally unaware of the fact that the Government turns its attention to the people to make up for what they lose to the truck drivers in the form of tax exemptions and fuel price cuts. For once, I am quite happy with the position Government has taken in this issue. It has thrown out statements, firm and strong in their depths, against the striking truck drivers and owners and has even gone to the extent of issuing charges against some of the Unions that have almost brought the nation to a standstill. When the Government that has all along been soft when it comes to terror and releasing the monotonous "We-condemn-this-act-of-terrorism" statement, stood strong against the literal menace of these mean truckers' union, the oil companies which joined hands with the latter to make use of the serious situation to get some fruit out of the air, showed a 180 degree change in their stance and are now back on the rails to continue with their works. Now, the only pests left are the Truckers' unions which need some serious lessons to be taught the hard way by the Government. As a result of these unions, the formation of which according to me should be abolished in a nation that calls itself secular and gives out equality for everyone in front of legislation, the nation saw one of the most crucial periods of all time and still the aftereffects can be felt by the Indian society. Demand for oil all over the country is at its highest over the last few decades. Bunks ran out of oil and I was horrified to see people wait in queues that were not less then a mile in their lengths in the petrol bunks along the GST. The fantastic part of the fable is that I didn't find a small change in the magnitude of congestion after the truck drivers sought after a strike that cut the fuel supplies to almost all the places in the country. This came as a hard slap on the faces of the striking truckers' unions and Government has even made arrangements to make the army get the necessary oil supplies for the people of the nation which has now endangered the jobs of the truck drivers. As a result, the people who are badly affected by the strike is no more the people of the nation but are the very people who joined hands to form what are now considered as a flock of dumb brutes or truckers' unions. Since the unions are now facing a bigger crisis than ever before, I guess they would call off the strike very soon or the nation would call of their services which are almost unwanted now since we have an alternative in our hands called the army that has always been highly reliable. For the first time in its tenure, the Government has helped the nation by being firm and helping the people make the so called Unions bite the dust. Kudos to the Indian Government! (I can't believe I am appreciating politicians! :-P)

Rules derailed..

I hope you can see clearly who the man at the front is. He is an official in the Indian Democracy. His job is to make sure people in the society stick on to the rules laid by the Government. The rules that they deal with are related to traffic and other procedures that should be followed by everyone using the roads which some say are MAINTAINED by the Government (and still they look pathetic :-P). Hence, in short , this man in Khaki and white on the bike registered to the Government can be put equivalent to a guardian. Rather, guardian of society and rules laid by the Government. I happened to go to Marina beach few days back with one of my friends. When I was driving back home, my ride was interrupted by the flashing red signal. I was almost the first one to bring my bike to a halt just before the stop line. After the signal timer flicked for few seconds, I found someone trying to get on to the front of the lot waiting for the green using the small passage on my left which was not even sufficient for a bicycle to go through. I told myself "Wow! What an aspirant!!! He wants to be the first even at a signal!!" Finally, this man's bike stopped after completely crossing the stop line, the meaning of which he totally didn't understand. You can find the stop line in the picture and the man in the front on his bike as if he his on his way back home after winning the whole world. And you can also find that no one else in the picture had crossed the stop line. From his shoes, pant, shirt, helmet and the color of the bike, I recognized who he is. That was when I felt really bad for the people in our society. A man who is supposed to protect the rules has decided to crush the same under his feet. Several men at the same level as this brute in the picture above stand together at signal junctions just to catch hold of those who they say don't follow the traffic rules. And nowhere have I seen a rule that says these men carry an exemption from these rules and they need not follow what they say is mandatory for the public. I couldn't resist my frustration and I was completely annoyed. But, I couldn't do anything other than take a snap of this immorally molded moron. Had it been a common man crossing the rule, I bet the traffic constable at the other end of the signal would have extracted something from his wallet. What makes the difference here? It is just few things which our Government servants lack. They are supposed to be called the Government SERVANTS. But, their actions make us feel they rule the nation. This is because corruption is all powerful in this nation. It is way above people and society. When even the one who is responsible for keeping the rules intact is not prepared to stand by the book, who else can be considered for filling the most essential niche here? I've had several bad experiences with these beggars in uniform who catch at signal junctions me just to suck my pockets dry. May be this is the reason why I consider my feet more important than these brutes with bulky bellies. Some of my friends even advised me not to put these pictures here on my blog as they fear I might push myself into grave danger. But, I can't help it. I can prove anyone I am flawless just by showing them this picture which I love to keep staring at for the whole day. And I can justify whatever I've told about these roadside vagabonds. The man in the picture is just another creature who makes his living on the roads using what he gets from the society. If you still don't know who he is, I'll tell you about him. Ahh..He is totally insignificant. He doesn't have much importance for me to really talk about. I don't think he deserves any explanation. Leave it. I wish to continue this hunt for these senseless scavengers in Chennai. ;-)

Roaring road accidents..

Road accidents are happening at an exponential rate now a days and your vehicle bumping into one of them will be the most unfortunate thing ever. It’s always better to get prepared before hand and auto body shops city of industry makes that easy for you. Collision Repair expert comprises a big chain of auto body workshops that effectively bridge their customers with the best auto repair shops in the town. They have incorporated strict quality measures within their network to ensure that they provide the best to their customers. They personally call back every customer and evaluate their experience, based on which a rating is given to every auto body work shop that is publicly posted in their website. You can also fix appointment online and be assured that your vehicle is in the best hands in town. With Chennai fast developing a sophistaceted and modernizied metropolitan city everyday, accidents have become very common on the roads that people don't even care to help the ones who got their heads into these unfortunate twist provided by their fate. I would like to see the Traffic department coming up with innovative, useful and really sensible road rules to overcome these accidents that often prove fatal for some people. Instead of forcing the bikers to wear helmets, the Government can give bringing in the vehicle lanes on the roads some thought. You would find such lanes only on roads with heavy traffic. But, that makes me wonder why there are no such lane discipline rules available for Grand South Trunk road that connects the city to other southern parts of Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu Police department should realize their purpose which is to ensure safety of society and public and they should also understand their hands can be put to good use other than saluting higher officials and blocking drivers for not following the rules which seem to have been designed only for the benifit of these vagabonds in khakis.

Government vegabonds..

Today, I had a bad experience with the traffic police officers again. This time, I felt I was really unfortunate for having bought a bike because I think I would have paid more than the cost of my bike as fine amounts to the cops. The traffic police in Chennai are so damn desperate that they are willing to do anything stupid with the public in order to squeeze the money out of people's pockets. There are police officers who stop those who are wearing helmets and have got all the proper vehicle documents just to scratch a piece of buck out of their wallets. This time also, I didn't do anything wrong. I received a call from one of my college friends and I had the time to bring the vehicle to a halt along the roadside and attended the call. After the conversation ended, I kept the mobile locked between my left ear and the helmet so that I can immediately attend the calls if I receive any. After a 2 minute ride, a traffic constable appeared in front of me and signed at me to bring the vehicle to him and that was exactly what I did. The mobile inside my helmet found exactly the wrong time to fall down and that was when fate turned its attention towards me. The constable asked me 'Talking over the phone while driving?'. I said I wasn't and I even gave him my mobile to check the information of the last call which I received from my friend. He checked the time and was pretty much convinced that I didn't go against the rules. But, what runs in him is the Indian Police blood. That made him argue with me and he put forth a question 'If you were not talking to anyone, then why the mobile phone inside your helmet was closer to your ear?' I don't know where I got the reason from. I quickly responded to him saying that my mobile phone's vibrator isn't working and that was the reason why I held the mobile closer to my ear in the helmet so that I would get to know as soon as someone calls me. He wasn't satisfied with the reason because it was not reason that he wanted. It was something else that he had his intentions upon. As an expert in dealing cops and talking to traffic constables, it was pretty easy for me to guess what was running on his mind. I went to the sergeant and explained to him the entire scenario. He understood that I wasn't using the mobile. But, once again, Indian Traffic Police. He wanted me to give what he expected. But, I was not prepared to be fined for a mistake I didn't commit. I kept arguing while the sergeant started filling up a form using the details he acquired from my license card. While he was busy doing this, I told him 'Sir I know I didn't cross the rules and even you do. Please don't waste a sheet of paper for sheer 50 bucks. I can pay that to you though I can't justify myself if I pay you the money. So, you can stop filling that form'. The guy appeared quite calm and replied 'No kid. Rules should be respected and you should be given a written record of what you have done' I asked him what I did. And once again I entered the world of explanation but the man, about 60, never seemed to loosen his end of the rope. Finally, I made call to one of my school friends who brought Rs.40 against Rs.500 which the cops demanded. When I handed over the 50 buck note to the sergeant, he was completely heated up and started venting his anger on me and not even my foot cared for that. Finally, he accepted the 'BRIBE' and threatened 'I'll make sure you get caught wherever you go in the city'. I replied 'You're welcome sir. You can catch hold of me if you find me really crossing the rules unlike what you just did now'. While I was about to leave, I told the constable who caught me 'Even you know I didn't use the mobile while riding'. He replied 'You should have been fined Rs.1, 100 as per the rule book'. I told him 'No rule book would say keeping the mobile closer to the ear while driving is wrong unless we use it to speak with someone or listen to music'. When he was retaliating, I left the place, leaving my foot to listen to his mouth!

7 big reasons as to why politicians call India a peaceful land.

Many of us know, as the politicians in India, when they acquire power, declare, that India is the most peaceful land on this earth. If you believe this, you're one big time clown. On the other hand, if you refuse to believe this, once again, a fool has been made out of you. Don't understand? That is Indian politics. Here, everything happens and everything looks fine. But, the reality is that, nobody knows whether the happenings are of any good to them. Okay. Aiming at the topic.

The politicians keep stressing that if there is a place on earth where you could dwell peacfully, it should be India, for, there are 10 big reasons in their minds, which are as follows:

1)Most of the politicians have a brave background with all weapons, guns and other stuffs that a rowdy would be in need of. So, 'PEACE', to them, means 'Living amidst blood, skin and smell of rusting weapons'. So, they feel India is peaceful since most of us don't carry such weapons all the time with us.

2)Have you seen Bombay stock market? How noisy and irritating it would be? People over there take care of exchange of stocks, money transfer and foreign flow-ins. The politicians do the same thing among their circles, with the only difference being that, they don't have something like a BSE. They do everything without any of the common man getting even a clue of what they are upto. Isn't this peaceful compared to BSE? This is why they call this sub-continent the peaceful land.

3)When something goes wrong in the country, the politicians, if you had noticed, would not release any statement immediately. For instance, consider the so called hunger strike observed by the 'KALAIGNAR' on 0ctober 1st. As soon as he received a word from the Supreme Court, this guy went home, took some rest, had a peacful day with 'Daddy's little daughter', read 'KAVIYA KALANJIYAM' and then arranged for a press meet late in the evening. Did you just realize how peaceful his day had been? This happens everyday in the lives of politicians in India. Isn't this really peaceful? India can rightly be called a peaceful country right?

4)At the party meetings, you could see only the head of the party talking most of the time. The people who call themselves the followers of the party sit like a bunch of goats as long as the party head stops speaking which, in our state, would take atleast 3 to 4hrs. Thus, only one person would talk and 100s and 1000s of people sit and listen to the useless, carefully framed speech without any reaction. How peaceful it would be to have a single person talking and all others looking at him?

5)Our politicians are so brilliant that they don't have direct contact with any of the terror heads. Instead, they have chain brokers to talk to such people. They work as hands in gloves. If the terror groups decide to lay down their show in some part of the country, they would INFORM our politicians first so that they can get their consent before they could go ahead with anything. So, these politicians are sure that no such attacks would take place without their consent. In turn, they are paid by these terror groups. There is something that is very unique. It can happen only in India. India blames Pakistan that Pakistani politicians are funding terrorists. Our Indian politicians are strict when it comes to the direction in which money flows.May be its because of the reason that its the other way around in India. Terrorists like Dawood Ibrahim and Sivaprakasam fund the politicians. Hope you understand what a FUND here means.

6)Two bullet-proof vehicles, more than 10 cars, 100s of black-cats, 1000s of policemen, loads of ammunitions and guns. When the politicians are gaurded by all these, even a speckle can't touch their skin. Even when someone tries to attack a politician, either the policemen die or the black-cats die. The politicialn will still have a peaceful life after going home with his family. Ahhh! Isn't his life really peaceful?

7)People like me, who blog against the politicians, are so unlucky that their blogs reach not so many people. So, the chances of producing a chance for this country has hit the ground level. As long as blogs like this don't reach the people out there, who have got the true spirit of India within and is ready for a revolution and modification of the Indian society, these politicians will live peaceful lives.

NOTE: India holds the 2nd position in the 'Worlds' top 10 terror-attacked countries' Think over it again. Is India really the safest country on earth for us to live in? If yes, for whom? For politicians or for people?
