INDIA IS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY

Nihaal: - Mr. Sashi Tharoor is absolutely right. I have been following him for last 3 months. Many a times, what he tweets are absolutely correct and bang on target. But, he should not discuss it publicly.

Munna: - Yeh tweet kya cheez hai bhai? Yeh circuit, tweet boley toh?

Circuit: - Bhai, I think that Mr. Sashi Tharoor is the name of a bird. Now, bird always tweets...he he he…

Nihaal: - arrey Munna, you are such a mamu aadmi hai yaar…have you ever heard about the website Twitter. Whenever, someone writes something in Twitter, it is known as tweets and I am following Mr. Tharoor in Twitter only.

Dynamite: - O accha, accha, he has tweeted about the new Visa policy of India. He is absolutely right, boss. Without a valid visa, all those bloody terrorists will keep on travelling throughout India, which is not fair.

Munna: - loh, aab Arindam ka lecture baaji suru ho gaya.

Circuit: - hey Arindam, mera naam toh Circuit hai, kyon ki main bachpan se electric circuit se khelta hoon, par tera naam tere maa baap ne dynamite kyon rakha? Zaara paata humko?

Dynamite: - The time when I took birth in the hospital, there was a bomb blast in the adjacent block of that hospital and since my childhood; I am very fond of crackers and bombs. That is why; my father used to call me Dynamite. Aab har koi ussi naam sey bulaa leta hai mujhko. Kya karoon;I can’t complain about them to anyone, as it is their democracy only.

Munna: - Aisa hai kya, yeh India hai, that means, anyone will say anything at anywhere. If it is so, then why the UPA 2 government is giving bwaat to Mr. Tharoor. Visa policy itna strong honaa chaiye ki koi foreign maai kaa laal issh India mein itni asaani se apna foot na rakh sakey.

Circuit: - bilkul right bola hai, bhai. For the sake of tourism, they are entering India and killing our innocent people.

Nihaal: - But, if we will make a very strong Visa policy, then our Indian Tourism department will incur losses.

Dynamite: - There can be no big losses other than the loss of innocent lives. Can you forget the 26/11 attack? Visa policy needs to be changed and other countries should force Indian government to adopt a strict Visa policy. What Mr. Tharoor has said, is not a matter of joke. As he belongs to junior level and is of our young generation, all those grandfather-type old ministers are now trying to play politics on him.

Nihaal: - But, this is government policy. How can you discuss about that in public forums? Democracy does not mean that you will discuss about anything, anywhere.

Munna:- Yeh, Nihaal, let me tell you one thing that as per Indian Constitution, freedom of speech is there for everybody and it will only be termed as a criminal offence, if it invokes any particular group to go for a violence.

Circuit: - Arrey, bhai, tu toh ‘MLA Munnabhai’ baan gaya hai bey. You are absolutely correct. The Indian Government is formed by the people and it has to serve for the people and that is called democracy. When the Indian Government is making a policy, then it is bound to take suggestions from the common people of India. Each and every citizen of India including the cabinet ministers of Parliament has full right to speak about those policies, after all; the policies are made for them only and the ministers, who have created those policies, were elected by these people only.

Dynamite:- If this UPA 2 government is not in favor of providing transparencies about its new policies, then what is the difference between this Congress party and the Chinese Communist Government? I really don’t know why the other countries appreciate the fact that “INDIA IS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY”.

KOLKATA AUR KOTLA KA KALAANK

Praveen: - Hey Subir, you are roaming here and there. Are you not watching the match today?

Subir: - uff, don’t ask me, about this Cricket match. I am really lucky for not getting any ticket for this match. The entire money would have gone wasted for watching this cricket match.

Praveen: - Why? What has happened? You are just talking like a fox who never appreciates that grapes are also sweet.

Arindam: - No, boss, there are enough reasons for Subir to get frustrated. Already Sri Lankan team has scored 300 plus runs and that too in Eden Gardens Stadium. Moreover, Dhoni and Yuvraaj are not playing in this game. Not a single team has ever chased 300 plus runs in this Eden Gardens. So, there is 99.99% chance that India will lose the match tonight.

Kirana Shop owner: - ha ha ha…I think that no one will win this match. Already, there is darkness in the Eden Gardens. One flood light tower is not working at all, he he he…

Subir: - kaun bola tumko?

Kirana Shop owner: - Arrey, you people are gossiping in the street, but I am watching the match in the TV set inside my shop. Just have a look at my TV set.

Praveen: - after all, it is Kolkata and its CPI (M) culture. ‘Andhera kayam rahey’, ha ha ha…Last time also, in one of the IPL matches, the same incident took place, and they told to the public that rats have eaten up some electric wires, he he he…this time, kisne electric wire khaya hai bhai? Kaali billi ney?…he he he…

Arindam: - ICC will not schedule any International matches at Eden Gardens anymore, due to bad flood lights.

*******************

Praveen: - Today’s match has no importance at all. Already, India has won the series. Hey, Subir, do you have anything to say about that Kolkata match?

Subir: - Boss, that was just a superb display by two young stars. Virat played a virat innings and Gambhir was very gambhir in his job.

Arindam: - In today’s match, Sri Lanka is batting first again. What is the score now?

Subir: - Arrey, forget about the score, just look at the Indian bowling. They are just bowling like Australian and West Indian bowlers. They are swinging and bouncing the cricket ball just like anything. Sri Lankan batsmen are having a very tough time in tackling our deadly Indian bowlers. See, just see, one Lankan batsman is seriously injured now. Bravo, our Indian bowlers are rocking today.

Praveen: - Something is fishy out here. This Indian bowler is bowling at a mild speed and he has not given a short delivery, but still that ball bounced at such a height, that it cleared everyone to reach the boundary. Are they playing on grounds or on a concrete floor?

Arindam: - Oho, yeh toh Kotla stadium hai, Delhi ka? This pitch is totally unpredictable and it breaks very easily. Don’t forget that our Anil Kumble capitalized on this pitch to set a record of taking 10 wickets in one innings of a Test match against our arch- rivals Pakistan.

Subir: - He he he, the match has been called off now, for bad pitch at Kotla. Tabhi toh main sochoo ke, Indian bowlers are bowling hi-fi bouncers today, he he he…Where is Arun Jaitley and Chetan Chauhan? They give big lectures, but they can’t even make a good cricket pitch. Really, it’s a shame.

Praveen: - If CPI (M) is to be blamed for Kolkata drama, then it is DGCA, who should be blamed for Delhi Disaster. No matches should be scheduled in Kotla and Kolkata stadiums, unless they come out with proper respective reasons for the “KOLKATA AUR KOTLA KA KALAANK”.

DEVELOPMENT REGIONS WILL ACT LIKE VIRTUAL STATES

Ritesh: - Ha ha ha…I just laughed after hearing the news that the current CM of Andhra Pradesh, K Roshaia has put up his hands regarding the Telangana issue. He is now seeking help from others to resolve this issue. He is very confused now, about what to do and what not to do.

Jeetender: - That has to be, boss. On one side, the people of Telangana are protesting and on the other hand, the MLAs of coastal Andhra region and Rayalseema region are resigning. There are many political leaders, who are totally swinging their viewpoint by 180 degrees.

Sharmilee: - He he he…the son of YSR as well as Mr. Chiru is now demanding for a United Andhra Pradesh.

Babloo: - They are smart to take that action, because if the Central Government pass a bill regarding the formation of a separate Telangana state, then we will surely see a decline of the Pearl City of India.

Jeetender: - If you form Telangana, then, everyone will claim for their own states; which will again indirectly ruin the Indian economy. If you form a new state, then you have to allocate some money for that state as per the norms of Indian Constitution. As a net result, the fiscal deficit is bound to increase.

Ritesh: - But, Telangana state needs to be formed. It is a very old issue.

Arindam: - The reason, why the people of Telangana wants a separate state, is due to its non-development. However, after forming a separate state also, including Hyderabad, the dilemma of Telangana people will not be solved. Rather, the problem will increase further. Try to understand the brutal truth that Coastal Andhra Pradesh has a good agricultural land backup, with large docks and good industrial factories. When you are forming a separate Telangana state, it looks like as if you are breaking alliance with your powerful allies and after that, your survival will be at stake.

Sharmilee: - Well, you are right, Arindam, but, it is also true that as a part of Andhra Pradesh, this region is still under-developed. No one has done anything for these rural regions, except for that Hyderabad city.

Arindam: - Now, when everyone knows the fact, then why all the party members are not sitting together and discussing the future plans for this AP. If they really want to do development of AP on whole, then firstly, they have to stop this Telangana movement. Secondly, they should regard United Andhra Pradesh as a combination of three Development Regions and they are Telangana, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, and Rayalseema.

Jeetender: - figuring out three different development regions in a state does not necessarily mean that those regions will be having developments.

Arindam:- But, if they pass a bill in the AP Assembly that whatever development schemes will be decided by the Indian Government or AP Government, will be allocated in these three regions in a ratio of 35:33:32 for Coastal Andhra, Telangana and Rayalseema respectively. As Coastal Andhra has larger area than Telangana and Telangana has larger area than Rayalseema, so, the ratio of development has been kept proportional to the per sq. Km area of these development regions.

Babloo: - Now, who will monitor the development of these regions? Suppose, AP government has sanctioned irrigation development schemes for all farmers of Andhra Pradesh. Say, they have sanctioned 100 crores for this scheme. That means that Telangana region will get 33 crores, Coastal Andhra will get 35 crores and Rayalseema will get 32 crores. Now, if there is no development, whom will you question? See, in this case, AP government has done their job by sanctioning the money to all these three development regions.

Arindam: - In that case, the leader of the ruling party of that development region will be questioned. See, after every assembly election, the party, which will won majority of seats in those development regions, will be given the power to improve that region. For example, say, if there is a Congress MLA in Rangareddy district who is taking care of its development, but as that district falls under Telangana region, the KCR can also be questioned, if there is no development. Even, the ruling party of that development region can escalate about that Congress MLA, if he is not performing well for the development of that region.

Sharmilee: - So, you are indirectly trying to say that in the United Andhra Pradesh, the three “DEVELOPMENT REGIONS WILL ACT LIKE VIRTUAL STATES,” in terms of their functioning, and it will improve the administrative efficiency.

NIGHTMARES OF HYDERABAD IN 2009

Sailesh: - So, our chapter of Hyderabad will come to an end, very soon, as we are now all shifting to other cities.

Prakash: - Yeah, that has to be, boss. We have got jobs in other cities and we have to move on. But, surely, I will remember our happy days in Hyderabad, especially the year of 2008. We just rocked like anything.

Diwesh: - We also enjoyed the year of 2009, here, by travelling in different places.

Arindam: - 2009 is one of the worst years, that this Hyderabad city people will want to forget.

Balbir: - Yeah, I agree with Arindam. This year of 2009 started with the Ramalinga Raju resigning from his own company. That fraud was so big that it affected all the stock exchanges of the world. What to say about Hyderabad? Satyam employees were contributing around 70% of the revenues for Hyderabad city. Due to job losses, Hyderabad became a deserted place and the local people of this city, who owned their own SME businesses, lost their profitable grounds in the market.

Diwesh: - Everything was recovering slowly and steadily, but then the Mother Nature started playing the trick. There was a huge shortfall of rain in Andhra Pradesh. As a net result, the farmers were in huge loss and the prices of vegetables, fruits, and all other food commodities increased. The price of pulses even went up to 110 rupees per kilo. On one hand, people of Hyderabad were losing their customers due to Satyam scam and on the other hand, their expense was increasing due to price rises in foods.

Prakash: - Arrey, after 1.5 months, there was a heavy rainfall due to monsoon. So, how can you say that the production of crops have been affected.

Sailesh: - Everything has its own time and season. If there is no rainfall, when the seeds are sown in the field, then there is no use of that rainfall. Monsoon came at the wrong time; at least, it was late by 2.5 months.

Arindam: - Hmm, how can you forget the flood, due to that rainfall? It was one of the dangerous floods; Andhra Pradesh people have ever experienced. Now, that flood indirectly affected the economy of Hyderabad. The price rise was already there; also, the diseases or epidemics started spreading like anything.

Balbir: - Still, the people of Hyderabad managed all these things well and moved forward. But, alas, the worst was yet to come. On a rainy day, a chopper went missing and later it was found in the Nallamala forest. At a bad time, people of Andhra Pradesh lost the CM, who was aggressively focusing to improve the rural sector. Due to YSR’s death, the rural economy suffered a major setback. As usual, after his death, the unity inside the Congress party got divided. One community supported the son of YSR and the other to K Roshaia. However, YSR’s son was too young to handle such a big state at that moment; so, K Roshaia was the best option.

Prakash: - Now, after these sad incidents, people were trying to revive the economy of Hyderabad. In this year also, Hyderabad people felt some good chilly winter in the month of November. But, in December, the entire Hyderabad became hot due to TRS leader KCR’s fast until death, for the demand of a separate Telangana state. What a drama it was? For 11 days, Hyderabad became a city of political turmoil. At last, when KCR stopped the hunger strike, the people of Coastal Andhra and Rayalseema started agitations for Anti – Telangana movement. As a net result, the corporate investors of Hyderabad have already started shifting their operations from Hyderabad to any other cities, because they fear that if Hyderabad comes under a separate Telangana state, then this city will lose its strategic power. Everyone invested in Hyderabad at the times of Chandrababu Naidu, because it is the capital city of Andhra Pradesh, which is a very big state and possesses strong Industrial and Services sector powers than any other big states.

Diwesh: - Anyway, we will also leave Hyderabad. Let them fight among themselves and ruin their economy. I will never come back to Hyderabad, if it becomes a capital of Telangana state. However, yes, I will miss the Biriyani, Chicken Tandoori and Moghlai foods of this pearl city.

Arindam: - Ha ha ha, Why don’t you request these Hyderabadi Restaurants’ owners to open their branches in Kolkata also, especially in Park Street and Salt Lake. The development of Hyderabad city is at stake now, unless the entire Andhra Pradesh remains united, after these “NIGHTMARES OF HYDERABAD IN 2009”.
