This is your chance!

At the age of 84 people are normally supposed to go senile, worried about the mahabharat show they are going to miss because of grandson’s unexpected hijacking of the remote control and the subsequent discussion they are going to miss out during the morning walk, with other fellow members of the fraternity. But then there is certain someone by the name of Bal Thackrey who is crying foul against people in general because his own family life is in shackles and because his maid wont serve him that delicious pizza from Pizza Hut (apparently a multinational chain run by a North Indian).

Talk about utter cheap-giri. So much that it has caused a pretty laid back person like me to write stuff down!

Ab tak to J&K kisska (India ka, Pakistan ka ya J&K ke logon ka) ye sawaal tha, aur ab ye bemuraad insaan ne naya bakheda khada kar diya hai, Mumbai Kiski ?

As if life was not hard, frustrating and stupid (read everything related to the Kasab case) enough!
Dude, I am telling you (also includes certain someone related to you, by the name of Raj) none of us have much time on this planet (and this existence actually does not make sense), so try to enjoy that extra cheese wala Pizza and marvel at the simple delights and pleasures of life. Stop bugging people. Sachin, Ambanis, APJ, SRK might have a lot of patience. But normal people like me, we no likey this divide and rule stuff. 

What makes Mumbai so easy going is its vicissitude. Its capacity to absorb people, its ability to give everyone a chance (that sadly includes you) .

So count this one and please live and let live.

    your blog is good, jara hatke!
    i dont approve of "Thackrey" style of working… but in all this there is a valid point.. Mumbai as we all know is ever accommodative.. but other metros like Chennai for instance,those guys down there hate hindi and that way any normal bloke from northern side thinks twice before going to Chennai..
    the other problem is inspite of having huge potential UP and Bihar are hoeplessly backward when it comes to industrial development.. what it does is, migration of people from these areas to Mumbai which stressess already over loaded infrastructure of our beloved Mumbai..
    Our politicos say "India for Indians"(Read Rahul Gnadhi), perfectly fine. but then forget UP, Bihar also belong to India and people there deserve to live better lives.. lot of problems will be solved if these places get their due.. Hope Rahul gandhi is listening to this 🙂

    A great post!

    Totally agree with ya!

    I am also disappointed with the Separate Vidharbha deal.

    Someone really needs to voice opinions 'against' these things.

    @addu: thanks!
    but dont u think, if these guys really had the interests of Marathi manoos at heart, today every household in UP and Bihar would have been idolizing them, for their prosperity and growth, and the marathi manoos as well..
    It is plain irritating to divert the whole attention of the nation towards such issues and not taking care of the real issue staring at us in the form of our friendly neighbourhood.

    First of all a great post….i agree that after the debacle of the SS in the lok sabha and also in the assembly polls they have gone crazy with finding a plank, a issue and all this is an attempt, they are failing miserably at it. However how much of this is the brain of Balsaheb is the real question. He might not have always been correct in his method, but as a person he atleast wins my respect!!! At 84 i seriously dnt think every SS decision should be attributed to him and yeah his son is not even a penny off what he was and will never be too

    @Nishant: thanks. That separate Vidarbha thing is another crap-giri. The saddest part is these things are motivated on self interest.

    @Da: hmm..u do have a point.. but by this post I am not saying I am against the nations development..I just dont like the approach. As you said, lets hope the central govt is listening and takes some action. The lashing against common man is uncalled for!
