THANKS Mr anonymous
Thanks dear anonymous for wishing me good luck for my results.I congratulate you for your great work for street childran.It is great because the medium where you are working is full of professionals where maximum people are concerned of their own betterment and zeroed to their kith and kins only[Please don't misunderstood me].I think India needs people like you in much quantity at every strata and in every profession to create an example which can be emulated by fellow persons.Thanks for giving me your valuable time and writing comment.I will appreciate your views on making this blog more lively and intresting to the readers.
DON'T PREACH,LET US DO SOMETHING NOW
Once again I thanks to the keen readers of my Blog to express their views neutrally which is the real purpose of this blog as it also bears the name....I promise to publish all the comments from all the readers however harsh it may.
Yesterday night I returned from Roorkee[Uttarakhand] after appearing for UT PCS exam.I saw numerous incidences of poverty along the route from Delhi.It is not only interiors of UP or other states but the scenes outside the Old Delhi railway station [specially in a narrow street filled with fruit shops and people in filthy and dirty conditions].I sanked in to deep thoughts.I thought various causes ranging from failure of delivery mechanism,population growth,rural-urban divide,regional imbalancesn,etc and their solutions like check on population,effective delivery mechanism,sensitisation of the people and civil servants,PURA,etc.
When I was thinking all these things and analysing its pros and cons suddenly One cute but innocent face appeared infront of my eyes asking for buying "CHANA PYAJI" for minimum RS 3/-......I refused thinking it unhygenic and full of dust;that kid left with sad face as nobody else bought.One thought sparked in my mind "DON'T PREACH TOO MUCH Mr Manmauji,do something".Infact this is true.We usually comment and criticize on what is happening but avoid to render some help to needy.Things will change only when We will standup and strat doing something.Now stop preaching and start doing something for the people of the country.
I am happy and thanks to one of the reader who wrote about his work for street children along his work in software firm.Keep it up and guide others for the same.
I am waiting for the results of UPSC and state PCS.I feel if i will enter in to system I can change few things atleast for the betterment of public and stop preaching.

A COMMENT FROM A READER ON ISSUE OF CHILD LABOUR
I really appreciate the effort which you made to at least visit these sites and get the first hand information. Other wise these are more or less drawing room discussion where we make verbal efforts, sympathize with these poor lots, criticize the government and scorn the Bureaucrats. It’s good to know that child labor has diminished in the area but at the cost of what?I would like to add something to your observations which might not be as valuable but at least give me an opportunity to express my views.What ever we are witnessing in terms of appalling conditions of these poor deprived souls in the cause of another disease which is plaguing the states of UP Bihar MP .....and the list goes on ,is the lack of economic development of these states. I guess majority of parents of these children would not like to see their sons and daughters toiling under the hardship of horrendous working conditions. Their hearts must be pining to see the innocence and childhood of their little ones withered by the harsh realities of poverty. No doubt we frequently hear the stories of many children are freed from the captivity of their employers and sent back to their home. But this is just one half of the story. We do not know what happens next. Do we really care to know why they have been pushed into this ugly system of child labor? Only by freeing them from their captivity and punishing their unscrupulous employer have we done our duty. Sometimes I do feel that by victimizing the employer are we not blocking their (poor children and their family) means of sustenance. Had we created enough opportunities for the poor to feed their families then would such situation have risen .Have we really freed them from burden of child labor or unknowingly we have expedited their degradation by creating opportunities for them to become criminals? Have we created a catch 22 situation where we won’t let you work so to earn your bread “Please Beg, Steal, Rob or Kill”. If given an opportunity and means these peasants would also like to get their child educated. But first thing first they have to have something in their belly to make them think.As we know democracy is of the people for the people and by the people .We very well emphasize on the significance on words” of the people and for the people but conveniently forget that it is “BY” the people. As we know the future of human being lies in his own hand (obviously GOD help those who help themselves).Our future lies on our index finger .We make the Politicians they make the policies and then they twist the laws them we complain and the circle keeps on repeating it self. Instead of complaining and whining why not uproot the cause of all ills. We seldom get what we deserve but we get what we want. People in power are corrupt because we support corruption. We want to make our life easy because it requires character to so say a big no what is benefiting us but is immoral. We know power flows from top but is supported from the bottom. And it is the will of the people in power which can change things. And this requires the will of the common man to have such people in power. It’s a simple transitive relation. A=B, B=C then A=C.We want proper clean governance = People in power should be clean and of progressive mind setPeople we elect are Corrupt = We get a corrupt and aimless governanceHenceWe want proper clean governance = We get a corrupt and aimless governance (This is what happens)To elaborate if we take the example of UP its really sad to see the amount of money spent on decoration of parks and statues which do not generate a single penny but perennially consume resources for their maintenance. Any economic initiative is devoured by the monster of dirty Politics (e.g. Reliance retail).The result is people flock to Mumbai in search of job and get thrashed by another breed of Franken steins. So these poor end up loosing their jobs, lives and self respect.I know a common man cannot change this over night but at least we can make our effort to choose right kind of people who represent us and influence the future of coming generations. We as a common people can at least make our effort to choose the kind people with some integrity and vision and who are at least a bit above their self interest.But problem doesn’t end here the next complain is where to find such people especially in an environment where Politics is the first and best refuge of a scoundrel.So my dear friend it has to be one amongst us. We don’t want to compromise our careers and fat salaries, we do not want take extra pain to mend the system, we want somebody to do it for us. When we go to elect people do we sincerely analyze their credentials or we support him just because his sir name is singh, yadav , khan ....... Do we really think objectively or do we help others to think objectively.So what I conclude what we are addressing is a symptom or outcome which has its cause lying somewhere else. And the cause is WE. Before fighting them fight with yourself. And stop sympathizing with poor and start blaming your self. Unless we start holding our self accountable I promise nothing will change.Thank you for your time and patience.

CLARIFICATION TO MY NOTE ON "MY VISIT TO FIROZABAD"
Interestingly I found one critic on my findings about the situation of child labour in Firozabad.First of all I heartly welcome my critic and wish some more criticism on my other notes.
As for the clarification on this note,I want to say that I was quite aware about the problem of child labour in Firozabad.This was the reason I went personally and saw few sites.I visited numerous factories ,few of them are largest in Firozabad.I found a big board declaring that "NO CHILD LABOUR IS PRACTISED HERE" at every factory'gate.I went inside and found only two child labours according to Indian definition of Child labour in those premises.I would like to clarify that I have not visited those places where only family members or their acquaintence are working.There can't be anydoubt on my findings.But still I agree with the fact that Child labour has not been abolished completely from Firozabad.Yes there is a lot to be done to remove it completely.But this is true that the situation has improved drastically in recent times.Any one can go and visit Firozabad any time and find out the truth that I have written.
This is true that government's delivery mechanism has failed substantially but there are also some concrete measures have also being taken to root out this menace from Firozabd.We should recognise this fact too.
Still,if some body has anydoubt I will welcome his/her criticism and will provide further clarification on this issue.
Whatever the condition may be of child labour but who ever is working right now there,there condition is not at all good.They are working in a pathetic conditions,high temperature barefoot,no safety measures,no insurence,no labour union,etc.Government must look these issues and take some effective measures to improve the situation.

WAITING FOR THE CIVIL SERVICES RESULT
I am sitting ideal in front of pc and having myriads of thoughts in my mind this evening...the result of IAS exam and Jharkhand PCS are about to come so little bit tense too....I am not a person who takes lot of tention on small issues but since lot of stake is involved on these results that is why I am tense.But when I see that I am not the only person who is facing this situation,i feel quite relaxed.But this is not the solution to my problem or for anyone who is preparing for this exam.SOmething has to be done quickly as I have already put many years in it.
My friends in the corporate sector has achieved numerous heights in their respective fields.When they see me they become tense and suggest me to quit as soon as possible and join corporate sector as it will give huge opportunity to me to achieve excellence in my life.
But when I close my eyes and ponder over these suggestions then i feel that I never saw a corporate dream.Things may be brighter there and I may not equal them being in public service.But ,definitely,I will draw much more satisfaction in the public service life.I don't have any dream to sleep on the bed of currency.That is why I am continue to wait for the result of Civil service result...

I AM IN AGRA
TOday i am roaming in the streets of Agra "the city of Taj"..For outside world it is a beautiful city which consists renowned monument of this world.
But I was quite sad afetr seeing apathy of the city administration to make it a world class city.There was no traffic regulation,filthy,poor roads and bad power conditions.These things are enough to distarct any foreign visitor to visit again this city.U.P. government must take immediate steps to make Agra a beautiful city so that lot of foreign tourists can be attracted to this place.With the public-private partnership this dream can be easily achievable.

DICTATORSHIP OF THE WESTERN WORLD
It has been proved on numerous occasions that western world led by USA dictates terms to others specially poor countries.This has benn proved again in the case of Kosov.What is heartening is that this region is already very tense and volatile.In place of sorting out things with diologue USA led group is openly supporting divisive forces.They have supported unilateral declaration of independence by KOSOVO from Serbia.This step is going to destabilise whole world in general and that region in particular.United Nations should come forward to show its strength and do something to prevent western block to play politics and stop fishing in the troubled water.

MY VISIT TO FIROZABAD
Last month I went to my home District Firozabad.Though it is famous for its glass works but it was disfamous for child labour too.I went in the disguised form and took first hand information in those glass works.
After entering in to the premises I met with horrifying scenes of ancient world where a large numbers of slaves used to work barefoot in the factories.It has forced me to remember numerous hollywood movies depicting that types of scenes.
But i saw around the premises and searched with eagle's eye but very rarely i have found child working in those terrible conditions.When I enquire about it, management told it is due to strict actions by district administraion.This was pleasant to me.
But,no matter children are not working but still people are working who are having their families and kids.All effort should be taken to ensure the safety of these persons.

A SORTIE TO JHARKHAND
Recently I went to Jharkhand's capital Ranchi to appear for an Interview for Jharkhand administrative srvices.The experience was not very bad infact.There was a rumour in Delhi that all seats have been sold by the commission so it is futile to go and appear for the same.I land up on 24th of jan and straight went to commision building.I just want to see those cute folks who are doing "JUGAD" OR "SETTING"...but unfortunately I have not found anyone near the building.Some body told me that you need to approach directly to one of the member of the commission from backdoor and offer handsum money to get the post of SDM orDSP etc.I was not able to decide waht to do.My interview was on 28th.It went quite satisfactory.I donot know the result and also not waiting for any positive outcome.I am also not sure whether there is any truth about those "SETTINGS"...i just did my job rest is on GOd...but one thing is sure that I love the beauty of jharkhand..it is really beautiful..it's people are nice and specially it's tasty "LITTIS"[don't to how 2 pronounce it correctly"]....Now I am back in Delhi and started studying..some time I feel very bad that even after studying for 3-4 years you have to pay 20-30lakhs to get in to the civil services...this is not fair.......any way Now I am waiting for the final result expected to be released soon...

IS IT A USELESS WORLD??
Some time I feel that it is really a useless world to live in .This perception emeges due to widespread problems ranging from political corruption,administrative apathy,pollution,ditching etc.God has created human being as a beautiful and cooperative able to think creature but then why this creature behaves in this manner in different forms.One can not tolerate other's views ar other's welfare.Somewhere there is a huge problem.We have to find out the solution for this.
But people like famous saints,waterman rajendra singh,arvind kejariwal,etc who are spending thier lives for other's cause gives me some hope to live with dignity among these useless people.Their noble works force me to do for society and stop complaining about others.

THE PLIGHT OF INDIAN SENIOR CITIZENS
According to the census 2001 conducted by registrar general of India,India is the home of 76 million old age people who are suffering from myriad of problems.This figure is expected to reach 300 million by 2030.There is a need for a serious thought on their plights.
These senior citizens are facing problems due to increasing trend of nuclear family,shrinking living space,cultural degradation,loss of community life etc etc.According to our religious texts the age after 60 is fit for "VANPRASTHA" and it is the age of wisdom.But due to cultural encroachment and societal value degradation these old age traditions has been obliviated.As a consequence this strata of our population affected maximum.It requires immediate attention by our policy makers.
Indian parliament has recently passed a legislation which aims at ensuring maintenance to senior citizens and speedier disposal of cases related with it.The various provisions of The maintenance to old age people act 2007 such as provision of appelate tribunal,legal right to get maintenance from children,revoking of gifted property rights from children or relatives,old age home,provision of 3 months imprsonment or Rs 5000/- fine or both etc etc give some hope to this section of the society.
But state can't go away with the act only.It also has to take some responsibilty in this aspect.Indian constitution also in the article 41 gives onus on government to take care of its senior citizens.
Let us hope that this new act will provide some relief to these old and wise people.The childrens and other relatives will also take some sensitive steps to take care of their elders.

THEATRE : A KEY TO HAPPY LIFE
Theatre that is "Rang Manch" is one of the oldest medium for entertainment in India and also across the world.As it portrays different shades of life it is also called as rang manch...It is quite differnent from films in terms of intensity,colours and issues.It is the real mirror of society.It usually happens with all of us that we face lot of situations which requires our analysis and some time quick responce too.But it is not easy for everyone to do the justice with the situation due to bounded rationality and human limitations.
Here,theatre comes to rescue.As we see diffent situations beiang played by the artists we are in a better position to analyse those situations in real life.In this way we will live a happy life which is comparatively tension free and obstacles free...
Thus,"Manmauji" recommends everyone who is reading this bolg to develop a habit to go and see theatre regularly.

MEGALOPOLIS INDIAN MEDIA
We are celebrating India's 60th birthday.We are all proud of our vibrant democracy and free media.But with the past experience of Indian media,we can't be satisfied with the way Indian print media or electronic media are behaving.If we analyse the content published in National media or visual media,we find that it is highly urban biased.They are reluctant to cover what is happening in the soul of India "that is poor villages of India".
I can prove this biasness with one empirical evidence in my hand.Last year there was a fashion week organised in India's financial capital "Mumbai".To cover the whole feast around 400 media persons were present from different agencies.One thing should be noted here that this fashion week was to market cotton and khadi clothes.
Now compare it with another incidence just happening 100km from Mumabi that is "Vidharaba" the cotton bowl of India and recent hotspots of farmers suicides.Only 4 to 5 reporter were present to highlight the plight of the farmers.This is the real character of Indian so called free and fair media of Independent India.
Big media barons must ponder over this biasness.We can not only talk about the social inequality and exclusion in terms of economic and social terms but it should cover all other types of inequality and exclusion.
There is a crying need of some devoted reporters to highlight the rural cause in national media to grab the attention of the national policy makers.Then only we can hope for some equatable and inclusive policies and development.

This is a comment on my blog "THE CHANGING NATURE OF THE TERRORIST" from a observant reader:
In fact, the recent bomb attacks in Hyderabad and bombs 'fear' all over India is also a result of "THE CHANGING NATURE OF TERRORISTS". Why is it so that people in other countries don't allow their neighbouring countries live in peace. Since India's Independence, terrorist attacks always becomes an issue now and then and in that moment, high security is applied all over and after few days, it becomes again the same. Attacks by foreigners is possible only with the help of inland residents and such helpers should introspect themselves that what they r doing with their mother country and act accordingly.Self Introspection with necessary good and reconciliation activity would be one of the best solutions to solve the universal problem of unrest everywhere. But when man will realise the GREATER SELF???

This is a beautiful comment on my last blog "INDIA AT 60" from an anonymous but very sensible reader"
Of course Kudos to India for becoming 60 and simultaneously loosing its memory power as a symbol of getting aged. Because it is forgetting and almost most of the youth are not aware of the freedom fighters and great personalities who had sacrificed their everything for the sake of the country. Instead, we r interested again to keep ourselves back into the realms of English people by the icons of Globalisation, by getting ourselves into multinational nuclear deals and so on....Why not the top bureaucrats and politicians of this nation are not realising that America is playing its part with India as part of its neo-Imperialism policy??? Let us awake and see the depth of these policies and take urgent measures to save the middle class and the poor sections of our country.

A COMMENT FROM A KEEN READER
This is a comment on my blog "IS SHE A MOTHER?" from a sweet anonymous and very alert reader :
My dear friend, of course, SHE IS A MOTHER, and therefore, she did this heinous but justifying crime.God knows why he has created WOMAN with such an attraction that men lose their senses and behave inhumanly by physical and mental torture over woman. In such a heinous society of beast like men, a mother would definitely feel that her girl child should not face the situations that she has faced in this inhuman 'man'ly world. But may be due to her unavoidable circumstances, she found the only solution of saving her child by dropping in the river.Atleast she would be safe in the God's lap. Let me narrate a recent incident of a gang rape by policemen in an agency area where the so called protectors of the society gangraped the women of the whole village when their men went to other village for work. And you know the justice done to them!!!The women were boycotted by their own husbands and the medical reports were neutral proving the policemen innocent. Of course, this is the Indian Justice and human justice of this society. what should those women do, where should they go? Will they wish to Keep their girl child alive?????

THE PARADOX OF INDIAN RESERVATION SYSTEM
Reservation is a buzz word in India.Due to underlying benifit in it allmost everybody want to prove himself most backward to avail the advantage of reservation in admission,employment,etc.But this system has some dangerous implications which should be discussed properly.
Reservation refers to the government policy of the positive discrimination to ensure inclusive and egalitarian society.For this overt purpose no body should have complained about it.
Now let us see the basis of providing reservation.It is based on the socio-economic backwardness.It is a accepted policy to identify backwards according to the castes as suggested in mandal case.
So the conclusion is anybody belong to particular caste can avil advantage of the reservation.The biggest paradox is it is based on the status of parents.
Now take one case study.In the civil service examination conducted by UPSC in year 2006,one guy who is Superintendent of police in some district of one state of India apperas in this examination.His father belongs to OBC category.So when he finally qualified in the exam,his allocation of service was done on the basis of his parents status without considering the fact that he is a SP from last 5 years.
This type of several cases can be easily seen at several places which is not good in the larger interest of students or society.
This paradox of reservation should be tackled firmly as soon as possible to avoid social cleavage and frustartion among forward caste students.

PALESTINIAN CRISIS
The root of all the modern day problems related with the Islamic terrorism lies in middle east crisis.The jews state that is Israel has fought several wars and still in this process though in proxy form with her neighbours.She has occupied sinai peninsula,golan heights,west bank,Sheba farm and gaja strip during 1967 war.
So far there were several attempts made to sort out this problem but all futile.Recently Arab league came out with some proposals at the Arab League Peace initiative at Riyad summit.It has proposed for full recognition to Israel in return of peace and removal of settlemnet from palestine territory by the Israel.
Indian ICWR has organised conference on this issue as well which was attended by myriads of groups acrosss the world.
Let us hope that Palestinian problem will be sorted out very soon with the support of western world specially USA.Untill and unless this problem wiped out no body can be sure for world peace.
International community specially UN should come forward and provide leadership to sort out long persisting problem of the world.

community participation
There is a sleepy village in Rajasthan.It used to get hardly 2 to 3 hours of power supply.One day electricity department official came to this village and ask them to provide 24hrs power supply with one caveat.it was total check on electricity theft.These villagers were suspious about the claim.But they were ready to cooperate with them.Village communitu started vigilance on everyhousehold to prevent pilgerage.
As a consequence now this notorious dark village is getting 24hrs power supply.Rajasthan government got motivation by this unique government-community participation.it has extended this offer to 8000 villages.this experiment has shown success in those villages and now government is planning to implemnet this concept in all villages of rajasthan.
Really it is very encouraging.All other satte government should follow the footsteps of Rajasthan state electricity board to enlighten each and every village of India.

THE CHANGING NATURE OF TERRORISTS
Recent incident of terrorist attack in uk is disturbing.It is not because that it is another terrorist act in high security region but due to the nature of the people involved in it.
Recent observations of terrorist activities throughout the world vindicated the changing nature and structure of this menace.Now more and more educated and brillient people are joining these groups.The causative factors may be numerous.It used to be said that it is unemployment,poverty,illeteracy,etc are few of the potential reasons which trigger people to join destructive forces.but now it is not so.
Newspapers in India are filled with reports and life of these doctors behind the glasgow incident.We have to analyse it carefully.It is not India or Pakistan which is responsible for it.According to his mother significant changes were observed in his son when he returned from UK.
I think that it is not about region,religion or colour which is behind this transformation but it is racism,isolation,discrimination and explotation of Asean in UK or in western world which triggered them to opt this devastating path.
Everybody should sit and ponder over this issuse.so that we can find some way to eradicate this menace and make this world more peaceful and liveable.
