Something inspired me to write this post. I don't know what and I don't know why but somewhere inside a voice spoke "Thou shalt write about the dreaded nature of females"
So, while I was listening to this voice and storing the data in my memory bank, I was busy relating the facts with my own experiences. May have forgotten a point or two. Anyway, here it goes
Ten facts about women/females/ladies/girls and whatever you call them (species or aliens maybe!)
1. The more you stay close to them, the more they take you for granted.
2. Married women always expect gifts and jewelery from their husbands on any happy occasion or festival. Their insatiable thirst for jewels is unquenchable and so many mortals have perished to quench this thirst.
3. The rate of expectation goes on increasing linearly with age.
4. The rate of expansion (obesity) also increases, but with a twist. The rate is parabolic, i.e slow at the time of marriage, slightly higher at the time of first delivery and a huge figure after 40 yrs of time spent on this earth.
5. They never miss out an opportunity to take a nap or siesta!
6. Their ego is hurt easily and they can hold a grudge for a very very long time. No wonder, Jesus was a male because he could not adopt his policy of 'forgive and forget' otherwise.
7. Indian species are particularly fond of 'Daily soaps' on Television. The emotional quotient is directly proportional to the number of viewers. Highly emotional serials can easily expect high viewer ship ratings.
8. Some of the less beautiful ones tend to attract the opposite sex by applying a high dose of make-up, gels, cosmetics, lipsticks, mascaras, talcum, deos and so on and so forth.
9. They can speak non-stop when in good moods and terms. If two identical species meet in any circumstance, their conference can go on and on and on and on and on....
10. Most commonly, they are afraid of cockroaches and lizards, some can be afraid of spiders and rats also. But, the point is they are afraid of something or the other.
Bonus fact - They can even be afraid of ghosts.
Coming to facts about Men/Male (or even the other species, opposite sex)
Only one fact: No matter how hard it may be, they (men) cannot live without them.
P.S: Some facts about women may be applicable to men also, in which case their femininity is observable. None of the "facts about women" can be applicable for "pure breeds" of men.

Hero se Zero
Well, a lot of things seem pretty annoying these days, match fixing scandal makes a comeback. Flooding in Delhi coupled with widespread cases of Dengue disease. Heavy rain over the entire country except the states of Bihar & Orissa. Naxalism at an all time high. Messy affairs of the "Commonwealth Games", batting woes of the Indian team in Sri Lanka. To top it all, a disastrous theme song for the Commonwealth Games by an Oscar winner, a Hero among 1.2 billion odd population of the country.
One would argue, even our cricketing heroes, filmi stars, etc come under the media scanner once in a while for bad performance or bad box office turnout. But, that's a different case altogether. The point under discussion here is the blatant attempt to recreate a "Waka Waka song" (a huge hit during the Football world cup by Shakira) at a time when the whole world is spitting on the face of the country for haphazard execution and arrangements.
Well, further to this, our "Hero" failed to live up to his name and the music reviews for the movie "Robot" starring namba Rajnikanth went blur. Wonder how the movie is going to be, looking at the trailer feels like the remake of the Robin William starrer 'Bicentennial Man'. Also, wonder if Rajni is going to follow the footsteps of Rehman dada all the way to doom!! Lets wait and watch!

Phoolan Devi's in the making
Was just taking a stroll in the wide vast roller coaster road called 'the internet' and managed to find an interesting article on "Women Naxalites!", Wow! immediately got immersed into the article. Not because the writing was creative or the piece was written by some great author, but because the article had some bits of hatred, violence, vengeance and guts. It's a story about a woman nick named as Uma (named after Uma Bharati, due to the busty appearance) and how she joined into the gang of Naxalites due to poverty and land loss.
Its a story for everyone to mourn at, a helpless woman being given charge of maintaining the entire family who had no choice but to join an inhuman organisation full of bloody terrorists. Well, to cut the long story short, it doesn't take a wild guess to predict what happened next. A young woman, many men, a thick dense forest and nobody to help. I mean, in a country where women are viewed as quenchers of lust, what else could have happened.
Eventually, she too will meet the same fate as the legendary Phoolan Devi, who was shot in the chest by one of her kin. Maybe, she won't be alive even as I write this post, who knows.
May the good God bless you!.
For the convenience of readers the original article is presented below:
Source: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Raped-repeatedly-Naxal-leader-quits-Red-ranks/articleshow/6423200.cms
Somewhere On The Bengal-Jharkhand Border: The eerie calm in the dense sal forest is deafening. Walking along a snaking dirt track, a clear patch appears. Sitting on a rock, hidden by thick, emerald green foliage, is the diminutive figure of a woman, a gamchha (thin towel) covering her head. Her blue salwar-kameez meld with the surroundings. Her eyes dart around at the slightest hint of sound. Shobha Mandi, alias Uma, alias Shikha, gives a searching look and then smiles. The 23-year-old CPI-Maoist Jhargram area commander says she was expecting us.
From commanding 25-30 armed Maoist squad members, Uma turned a fugitive four months ago. She fled her command post on the plea of seeing a doctor. She hid with her aunt for a short while; and now she says she wants the world to know her story. She wants to surrender and is likely to give up Naxalism on August 26.
Why did she decide to shed her battle fatigues seven years after she joined the Naxals? "They committed injustices against which they claimed they were fighting," said Uma. "As a recruit, I protested against the habits of some leaders in the presence of Kishanji. Nobody liked it. The leaders instructed the squad members not to speak to me. I was isolated and warned of dire consequences if I protested," she said.
What didn't she like about the leaders? "They rape," she shot back, eyes flashing with rage. "After about a year of joining Naxals, I was put on night-long sentry duty at a forest camp in Jharkhand. Suddenly, out of the dark, Bikash (now, head of the state military commission) came up and asked me for water. As I turned to fetch it, he grabbed me and tried to do 'kharap kaaj' (indecent acts)." When she objected, Bikash threatened to strangle her. After forcing her into submission, Bikash raped her, she said. She was 17 then.
"He warned me against telling anyone about this. But, I told Akash (Kishanji's confidant and a state committee member). He said he would look into it but did nothing. In fact, Akash's wife, Anu, lives with Kishanji," Uma said.
Most women recruits are exploited by senior Maoists. Senior women leaders, too, have multiple sexual partners, Uma said. "If a member gets pregnant, she has no choice but to abort: A child is seen as a burden that hampers the agility of guerrillas."
Uma has heard tales of brutalization of other women Naxals, too. "Seema (then a recruit) told me that Akash raped her as well. Rahul (alias Ranjit Pal) raped Belpahari squad commander Madan Mahato's wife, Jaba. In this case, the party punished Rahul, who is a key weapons trainer at Maoist camps. He was removed from the regional committee for three months," said Uma.
State committee secretary Sudip Chongdar, alias Goutam, was also punished for similar acts, she said, and transferred to Jharkhand's West Singbhum district. Maoists divide time between forest camps and hideouts in villages. Villagers can't refuse shelter to gun-toting Maoists. Also, they must keep all night vigil to alert them against police raids. "When Sudip took shelter in villages, he raped women in their homes. They were too scared to protest," said Uma.
Many of her senior leaders exploited her sexually. One day, says Uma, Kamal Maity, who is a Bengal-Jharkhand-Orissa regional committee member, came to her rescue. At a meeting attended by Kishanji and other top Maoists, Kamal proposed a relationship with Uma. The leaders agreed. "After Jaba's incident, I learnt that a woman cadre is protected against sexual exploitation only if she is with a senior leader," she said. That was a turning point and she rose steadily in Naxal ranks.
Uma is on the police's most wanted list. She is suspected to have planned and executed a series of attacks, including the massacre of 24 EFR jawans in Silda (February 2010); a raid on Sankrail police station in which two policemen were killed and an officer abducted (October 2009). She is also one of the suspects in Jharkhand MP Sunil Mahato's murder in 2007.
She mentored PCPA members, including Bapi Mahato who is in jail for the Jnaneswari train sabotage. Last year, when the joint central and state forces advanced into Lalgarh to break an eight-month siege, she along with other Maoists fired at the police. In Jhargram, she is known as didi. According to a source, Uma single-handedly built up the PCPA at Jhargram.
Uma joined the rebels in 2003. CPI-Maoist hadn't been formed then. "I joined the People's War (PW) which later merged with MCC in 2004 to form CPI-Maoist," she said. She was given a new name, Uma. "I was plump. Anu (Akash's wife; Kishanji's companion) said I looked like Uma Bharti. So, she named me Uma."
Maoist leaders spotted her organizational skills. She was asked to mobilize tribals women at Jamboni and Dahijuri in West Midnapore. She also underwent three-month arms training at Jharkhand's Gorabandha forest. "First, we are taught with dummy weapons using tree branches. All recruits have to fire three bullets in their first session. Those who hit the target are picked for armed squads," she said.
In spite of guns and guerrilla warfare, the woman in her sometimes longs for simple pleasures like painting her nails or wearing earrings. But, she says, "We were not permitted to use even fragrant soaps, lest we get detected. Only Lifebuoy is used by cadres."
Did she join the rebels of her own free will? Circumstances, she said. Uma is second of four siblings. Along with their parents, they worked as wage earners on farms or collected sal leaves, mahua and red ants (kurkut) to sell. "I was good in studies but weak in math. I worked all day and studied at night," the girl from Khayerpahari village in West Bengal's Bankura district recounted. "I couldn't pass the Class X board."
This was in 2002. Younger brother Sanjay, who was in Class VIII, was already taken away by the extremists. He became a Lalgarh squad member and is in jail now. "My father, Jamadar Mandi, was an alcoholic suffering from tuberculosis. There was no money to buy him medicines. We sold our land and also borrowed money," Uma said.
While the family struggled, some "party" members offered help. "They gave my father some money and told me to join them. They said I could leave if I didn't like working with them," said Uma. The prospect of a job spurred her.
But only after she signed up did she realize she could never go home. "Whoever comes here, never returns," a senior leader told her. She wanted freedom from poverty but found herself chained to an ideology she couldn't understand.
After seven years of witnessing bloodletting, she has no fear of death. She now hopes the state she has fought against will rehabilitate her. "There are many in the Maoist ranks who would flee given half a chance," she said.

Time Travel and Normal Travel
Everytime I sit to post, I wonder why so much of gap between my posts and what I can do to improve the situation.
Realized that I haven't given my mind, the requisite time for travel and exploration of the unknown. Life was just going on in one direction and without the wandering mind, one cannot expect fruitful creativity.
So, coming to this post, it is dedicated to the concept of "time travel"
I happened to watch one episode of Stephen Hawking's special on Discovery last Monday (9th Aug 2010, 9 pm to be precise). Well, apart from the regular complaint of 20 minutes break in an hour's show, it had all the ingredients to keep a person engrossed and guide one's mind to civilized wandering! . Let me just try to pour some of the thoughts below
1. Time can be thought of as the fourth coordinate after x y & z coordinates. This makes it difficult to explain, but gives clues to physicists about the concept of time travel.
2. One cannot travel into the past according to Hawking, because of the causality effect. A famous case to illustrate this fact is the Grandfather paradox, wherein a person who travels in the past and shoots his grandfather before the conceiving of his father/mother will not be able to exist in the present.
3. Hawking seems to dislike the idea of parallel universes, (since according to the Grandfather paradox, a person who shot his grandfather can return in a parallel universe as some other identity). Hawking dismisses the idea and says "one can therefore travel only in future"
4. Of the many ways of time travel suggested by Hawking (travelling on the circumference of a black hole, travelling into a worm hole, travelling at speed of light to a distant star), the only option which is feasible is the travelling to a distant star and returning back to find the Earth has surpassed more time than the travelling ship.
A click on wikipedia with the search as 'time travel' reveals a big tag stating "one of the biggest problems in Physics which remains unsolved". Although, the method may not be scientifically possible right now but one must not lose heart, atleast not now.
After watching, I switched on my memory to some of the Vedic and Ancient Indian theories of time travel. A scene in the Mahabharata depicts Arjuna listening to the Bhagavad Gita when time is bought to a stand still by Sri Krishna. This may be possible, may be through the mind because one's thinking can surpass the speed of light. Maybe, this is an answer to the omnipresence of God. All this is left for a challenging debate.
For now, my mind seems to have returned back to normalcy. Physically, I traveled normally to a nearby town named Mandvi last evening where I witnessed sunset at the beach and got back home very late. Hope, some day, one can enjoy traveling through time rather than taking time to physically travel distances.

A dawn to remember
The 5th of July 2010 may go down in India's history as "Bharat Bandh" or the so called day of "awakening of the common man", but to me, it was just another day. Nothing special except coming down from Adipur to Mundra at 5:30 am in the morning, at a time when the weatherman would have called it a rainy day.
It all began with a wrong decision, a mis-timing, a haphazard plan of relying on Govt. buses the previous night and the horrible service to a village like Mundra. How can all people expect to live in cities and neglect any development in villages. Anyway, whatever happened , happened and there was no better way things could have happened.
Coming to the so called "Awakening"
According to an article by Rediff, the Orissa state exchequer lost 120 crores to this bandh, Bengal state lost a whopping 500 crores and even a state like Jharkhand lost 110 crores. This apart from other indirect costs such as, distrust by foreign investors and weakening of the common man who is already at his weakest.
The website link is attached for reference : http://business.rediff.com/slide-show/2010/apr/27/slide-show-1-bharat-bandh-which-state-loses-how-much.htm#contentTop
How many people would actually be affected if the prices go up is the question to ask. Not, how many times the Govt. has increased the rates or by how much percent. But, our politicians are busy throwing dung at each other's face and waiting for someone to lick it off. Does it come to our mind even in the faintest of thoughts that all the protesters shown on TV are actually bought for Rs. 100-150 per hour and such people always wait for opportunities like these (elections, rallies, protests etc) even if the 'burning issue' doesn't concern them. Do you really think, these people are fighting for their rights? Are they even aware of their rights? Do they even serve an iota of purpose by having a strike?
So here we are, in a sick poor country, a mess of sorts, complex web of situations still battling for survival because for the common man of this country
"Survival of the fittest" is the only thing on his mind.

Quotable quotes
After a series of recruitment related posts and stuff which angered me, I decided to do something sweet. Give the world some memorable all time favorite quotes from famous Hollywood movies. Some would really shake you off, boil your blood or ignite something beautiful out of you, so read through.
Countdown
At no. 10 is a dialogue from "The Dark Knight" by 'Lucius Fox', character who plays a good samaritarian in the movie by helping Batman. This one is for all the Blackmailers out there:
Let me get this straight: You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands. And your plan is to blackmail this person? Good luck.
At no. 9 is a quote from "Spiderman" by Peter Parker's Uncle (Ben). It is a favorite and most mocked at sentence
With great power comes great responsibility
At no. 8 is a dialogue from "The Matrix" by 'Agent Smith'. I like this one because it degrades Humans to the lowest point. A very bold dialogue.
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.
At no. 7 we have something again from the movie "The Dark Knight" by the Batman. It gives out the simple secret of how heroes turn into villians. Here it goes
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
At no. 6 we have the movie "Shrek" and the quote by 'Donkey' who knows the meaning of wasteful efforts.
Okay, let me get this straight: you gonna go fight a dragon and rescue a princess just so Farquaad'll give you back your swamp, which you only don't have 'cos he filled it full of freaks in the first place, is that about right?
At no. 5, a quote from "Ratatouille" by the character 'Collete' who reminds us about Bosses and Bossing around
No! You waste energy and time! You think cooking is a cute job, eh? Like Mommy in the kitchen? Well, Mommy never had to face the dinner rush while the orders come flooding in, and every dish is different and none are simple, and all different cooking time, but must arrive at the customer's table at exactly the same time, hot and perfect! Every second counts and you CANNOT be MOMMY!
At no. 4, the most voracious dialogue I've ever heard, this tongue twister is from the movie "V for Vendetta" and the dialogue is by the character who calls himself 'V'. Why does he call himself V: here's why
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant and vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me "V".
At no. 3, is a quote again from "V for Vendetta" and again by 'V'. One of the favorite quotes which causes fury and blood boiling and should never be uttered.
People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
At no. 2, a quote by Spiderman in the movie "Spiderman", this quote tries to bring out the real you, possibly an answer to the toughest question in the world. Here it goes
Who am I? Are you sure you want to know? If someone told you I was just your average ordinary guy without a care in the world, somebody lied. Truth is it wasn't always like this. There was a time when life was a lot less complicated.
And finally at NO.1 , the most outrageous and mind twisting dialogue between 'Morpheus' and 'Neo' from "THE MATRIX" which compells everyone to think.
Morpheus: I see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, that's not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo?
Neo: No.
Morpheus: Why not?
Neo: Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.
Morpheus: I know *exactly* what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
THINK HARD
Countdown
At no. 10 is a dialogue from "The Dark Knight" by 'Lucius Fox', character who plays a good samaritarian in the movie by helping Batman. This one is for all the Blackmailers out there:
Let me get this straight: You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands. And your plan is to blackmail this person? Good luck.
At no. 9 is a quote from "Spiderman" by Peter Parker's Uncle (Ben). It is a favorite and most mocked at sentence
With great power comes great responsibility
At no. 8 is a dialogue from "The Matrix" by 'Agent Smith'. I like this one because it degrades Humans to the lowest point. A very bold dialogue.
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.
At no. 7 we have something again from the movie "The Dark Knight" by the Batman. It gives out the simple secret of how heroes turn into villians. Here it goes
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
At no. 6 we have the movie "Shrek" and the quote by 'Donkey' who knows the meaning of wasteful efforts.
Okay, let me get this straight: you gonna go fight a dragon and rescue a princess just so Farquaad'll give you back your swamp, which you only don't have 'cos he filled it full of freaks in the first place, is that about right?
At no. 5, a quote from "Ratatouille" by the character 'Collete' who reminds us about Bosses and Bossing around
No! You waste energy and time! You think cooking is a cute job, eh? Like Mommy in the kitchen? Well, Mommy never had to face the dinner rush while the orders come flooding in, and every dish is different and none are simple, and all different cooking time, but must arrive at the customer's table at exactly the same time, hot and perfect! Every second counts and you CANNOT be MOMMY!
At no. 4, the most voracious dialogue I've ever heard, this tongue twister is from the movie "V for Vendetta" and the dialogue is by the character who calls himself 'V'. Why does he call himself V: here's why

Lazy recruiter
After placement hoaxes comes the turn of some 'lazy recruiters'. The term used here can be defined as follows : A recruiter who wants to hire top notch performers but doesn't want to spend time, money or any other resource. Instead uses someone else's hard work to achieve its goal of hiring top graduates.
There are many such recruiters, God knows the exact number. But, one of them surfaced recently.
The name is Bosch, Robert Bosch !!!
