Maoists take Rajdhani hostage! What Next??


The Maoist goons held the Delhi-Bhubaneshwar Rajdhani hostage for 5 hours before government forces could secure the train and bring relief to the nearly 1200 passengers trapped in the train. Now what is really surprising is that with the ease the Maoists are openly launching such logistically difficult operations. This is really not possible without the help of some elements which have a good understanding of the administrative apparatus. There are claims that the Maoists which earlier used to be supporters of the ruling party in Bengal, are now apparently being supported by the Trinamool congress. The Bengalis have over the period of time managed to with their attitude and liking for Communist rule managed to make the state an unlikely place for carrying out business. In fact, the entire eastern side of India as compared to North,West & South has seen fairly less development and will continue to do so with this sudden surge in Naxal challenge.
The Bengal incident is clearly an off shoot of the turf war which is being played out between the Communist party and the Trinamool congress. The last incident which did hurt the Bangal image was the pulling out of the Nano project from Singur which was really a pathetic incuident to say the least. Its actually surprising to see then the TMC gain seats in the 2009 assembly elections especially after managing to shunt out the biggest project to come to Bengal in a long time.
Well, but then petty politics is what is the root cause behing India's lacklustre growth and inequal distribution of injustice across the geography. Hope atleast the centre is serious about shutting out the Naxal violence spreading across major Indian districts in India.

Why should we speak Hindi???

I was just watching an episode of 'The Big Fight' on NDTV 24*7 on Sunday morning which featured Sanjay Nirupam (ex Shiv Sena now Congress), Akhilesh Dubey (Legal VP,MNS,dats a mockery),a SP MLA and some academic of South Indian origin and DMK MP Ms. Kanimozhi joining via VC. The debate was on the entire incident after Abu Asim Azmi was slapped after taking his oath in Hindi. In the entire debate, the one thing that struck was that the North India politicians from SP & Congress were vehement on Hindi being spoken & accepted as the National language. Just because Hindi is the language of choice of the 2 major BIMARU states in India and just because 40 crore Indians speak that language it doesn't entitle it to become the National language. Though, I dont support Raj Thackeray, I am firm in the belief that the influx of the North Indian migrants into Mumbai is bleeding the city I love, and its imperative for us to protect the Marathi language.If people can come in Mumb...

The Importance of LinkedIn

Image
Since it was founded in December 2002 and launched officially on 5th May 2003,  LinkedIn has taken the professional networking world by storm. Though it may not have clocked stupendous membership numbers like its other famous social media network i.e. Facebook, LinkedIn has become the be all end all tool for working professionals to network on and be seen on it. I wont be exaggerating if I say that it is embarassing for a working professional not to have a LinkedIn profile nowadays. I for one, do make it a point to search for a potential employee's/clients' LI profile first before meeting him/her in the real life (yes, it still does exist in this age of social media).   As of January 2013, LI has reported 200 million members in 200 countries and terrritories and growing at a phenomenal rate. LI actually helps people to expand their professional networks, canvass for real jobs, form their own relevant alumni meetings/groups, company networks, etc. LI has actua...

I Am Back

Well, i am back to penning or rather blogging my thoughts after a long time. The primary reason I was away from blogging was because I was trying to understand and convince myself about the relevance of this social web avatar (blogging). Well, since the last 2 yrs, the smartphones have taken along with the rest of the world, India also by storm. Most of the applications that you use are available on the respective eco-systems out there. Research also shows that blogging is on the wane due to the emergence of the era of the smartphones. But, after seeing my old blog after almost 2 years, I would definitely like to come back to this form of social web. This has so much to express compared to say Twitter where you are limited by the characters. Also FB is a for lack of a better word juvenile..So, heres to new beginnings and blogging...
