Formal Chat
It was to almost 11 pm and at my home all was set for going to bed, she was about to switch off the light when my cell started to sing “Azi ruthkar kar Kanha Jayaega, Jahana Jayaega Hume Payaega.” I was surprised, why Kishori is calling me at this time but the answer was only best known to him so I decided to pick the call not because I was much eager to know the reason but as I know the fact on the basis of my past experience if I don’t pick, Kishori will keep on disturbing at least for next 2 hours with numerous old songs and unfortunately today I was not in position of switching of my mobile as one of our relative was coming from Pune and was reaching Kolhapur late in night. For my new blog readers Kishori Lalsingh Pahalwan is a traditional wrestler who turned into politicians. Any way I picked the call and this was Kishori at other end.
My regular blog readers will surely recall my last meeting with Kishori Lalsingh Pahalwan for knowing his reactions for the recommendations of sixth pay commission. Before he complains about not meeting with him since last seven days, I promise him to be there in at his palace like house in the morning to give him company on his routine morning walk but before my wife put off the lights my mobile once started singing “Aayega Ayega Aayega Aanewala Aayega”, You correctly judged this was again Kishori for being sure about my company on morning walk on next morning.
Next Morning I was there but as this was raining so for a while we sit in open shed and with the sips of hot tea Kishori started the discussion. Netaji seemed bubbling with vocabulary as he started on the cricket a topic of my choice; apparently he looked worried over the recent development of Indian cricket team on the issue of senior and junior players. He was also not happy with BCCI, for not helping out to Sunil Gavaskar for the fight against the ICC, this supreme authority looked determine to force Gavaskar to leave the President ship of the committee on the issue of his criticize of match referee Mr. Proctor, on the issue of Sydney test between India and Australia.
We were on the walk on specially constructed covered footboard with the boundary walls of the house and hot tea was not proving sufficient to melt the ice of silence which started to get deeper and deeper between both of us. “S. P. Sir, how are your relation with Mr. Chandra?”
I was surprised at this sudden question but our previously on going discussion and my common sense spontaneously suggested me that Netaji might be talking about Shri. Subash Chandera, the chairman of Zee Television Network, so I replied “NO, Kishori Ji I never met with him, but what happen?”
“Nothing abnormal but there were reports that when you were in Delhi for the five day shooting schedule of “Public Ka Vittmantri” at Zee studios, he was also there so I thought you both might have developed a good understand for each other in these five days.”
I was wondering over the imaginary powers of Naetaji, what a thought as I and Subash chandera both were in the capital city of the country and not only both we meet but find time sufficient to develop understanding for each other, but my thought process was interrupted with the voice of Netaji.
“Look how he is working, he has engaged Mithun dada for giving fight to SRK in Kolkatta, I am wondering for his wisdom how he forget that original Dada [Sourav] is with us. I was thinking of conveying a message to him, as the Maharashtrian king of farmers is controlling the activities of the cricket in the country and presently he is not opposing the high command but in fact proving a great help for us at center in keeping the left parties under control, so activities of this type by him might provoke anger of high command and if it happen it will be much troublesome for his business enterprises.”
There was nothing to reply but the eager and concentrated eyes of Netaji were prompting me for being vocal but before this influencing atmosphere results in an action from my vocal chord, Neatji’s Cell started to sing “Aaya aaya Tufan, Bahaga Bhaga shaitan”. I don’t know who was at the other end but this call has disturbed kishori such that he dropped his routine walk and we started to return back. I asked permission to go back to my home; Netaji was still in some what worried mood and told me.
“Sir ji, keep in touch and keep on visiting at regular intervals and yes do think of my today’s question about cricket and do come with some positive thoughts for our next meeting”.
I left Netaji with his cell phone which by this time have started to sing “Jina Yahan Marana Yahan Iske Siyai Jana Kanhan”.

She in sixth pay commission
She in sixth pay commission
Salary is the most important matter, that means most for the employees, hence first day of month – salary day – holds greater value than any thing else in the life of salaried class. Even the imaginary world of silver screen is under the magical effect of this world “Salary” and hence since the year movie heroin says like this to hero and who sings:
“Bibi Boli Ghar Zara Jaldi Se Aana, Sham Ko Piyaji Humko Cinema Dikhana,Karo Na Bahana, Aaj Pahali tarikh Hai.” [Wife says, Come a bit earlier in the evening and take me for the movie, Oh! Dear don’t give any excuse after all today is the first day of month]
Things have changed a lot since the shooting and presentation of this song on the silver screen and Indian women had progress to status at which instead of waiting for the salary day of husband she is working to get salary for the self.
Recently the sixth pay commission submitted recommendations with almost 40% salary hike. I thought of knowing the reaction of people over these recommendations specially those which have a relation with women employees. Like increase in leave period and hike of education allowances for two kids etc. the first person which visualized in my mind was Mr. Kishori Lal Singh Pahalwan, a wrestler by family tradition who turns into politician and presently working for the social welfare of women. This is another thing that three on going court cases of crucial and abuse behavior with women [two by his divorced wives and third one by present wife] hardly keep him free, but being very influenced person he is treated as the most active politicians of the area.
I reached to his place looking house at the out shores of city early in the morning because this is the only time when he can be in normal mood. Kishori was preparing to have a routine walk and ask me to company him for the purpose of saving time. Since the Netaji is a wrestler by family tradition hence he never forget to have a morning walk for at least 4-5 Km, due to this habit he never go away from the city and his house other wise he is with all the political qualities of a national leader. Since he become active in the politics it become hard for him to keep the routine of morning walk as if he goes out complaining common people force him to interrupt his walk. He talked with high command on this matter and state government asked the city authorities to allot him the land kept reserved since several years for constructing stadium for his residential purpose. In the long green back yard of this residence we were walking.
“Have you heard about the recommendations of sixth pay commission?” my world tried to break silence of last five minutes.
“Yes! Though I have not seen the details but is sure whatever recommendations Justice Shrikrishna have made, all of them were in accordance of will of high command” Kishori replied.
But Sir?
“No No” I was forced to stop by high pinched voice of Netaji. “Don’t use any harsh words, we are leaders of public and if we stop thinking about the welfare of deprived working class people, where these people will go?”
“But sir, I was intended to know your reaction for the recommendations made by sixth………..”
“You critics? I think even God is not able to satisfy you” I was wondering how this word criticism entered into our conversation but It is has nothing to do with Netaji. He kept on saying
“Look since the centuries Indian women are in the phase of secondary social status. What is harm if we are trying to give her 50% reservation in the politics after all they constituents almost half of the country population”.
Netaji was in the full swing of bombarding me with words and I prefer to play the role of silent listener.
“High command is much concerned over the recent social trend of pre birth killing of girl child and probably this the reason for withholding women reservation bill, other wise this might have been presented in the parliament many years ago” Netaji stopped for a while.
“But sir, I was trying to know about the sixth pay commission “I tried once again to get reaction.
“We know that, but did you know how hard is for the Indian women to work in the office after looking at domestic house hold works?” I was forced to move my head in negative style.
“If we are giving a little bit relaxation to her while she works in the office, what is wrong in it? I say nothing is wrong; after all we are working to provide her a little bit relief for the sufferings of centuries.“ Netaji stopped to have a deep breath in the pleasant morning air and I thought, this is the most appropriate time to get back to home for my routine work of blogging.
I failed to get reaction of Kishori Lalsingh Pahalwan but I request you all not to behave like the Netaji and express your reactions for my, this blog at the space provided below for the comments.

Cricketing controversy
Cricketing controversy
It is often said success always try to run into your head and at least at present most of the Indian cricket lovers and former players are of the opinion that success is running into the head of Indian captain M S Dhoni especially after his statement about the inclusion of the senior players into the plating squad for the ODI.
Why there is so much unrest and anguish for the Dhoni? If we look at the history of the game, this is always the captain of the team who is blamed most for the defeat of the team and has to face the criticism, even at some times is forced to leave the captaincy of the team. It is still alive in the memories that not only S. Shrikant [after the defeat in Pakistan] but many more Indian captains have gone under the same situation. In these conditions if a captain is expressing his preferences and priorities about the team composition and asking for selecting team of his choice than what is wrong in it?
We are living in the age of professionalism and killer instant has become the most important aspect of the game for the winning. Every captain is supposed to come out with a definite game plan for the victory. Cricket being the team game one has to depend a lot on the performance of other players of the team as for as winning is concerned. In these conditions it is natural right of the captains to have the players in the team who can be the most suitable for implementing his game plan for the victory.
If we look at Dhoni’s statement in this context nothing will appear abnormal and he can be appreciated for having a clear attitude but one thing which might Dhoni forget and which is causing the evolution of this storm is that we are Indians and we have a great respect, higher than human from any other part of the world, for our elders and heroes. When we talk of senior players like Sachin, Dravid, Sourav Ganguli or Even Laxman all of them have a proven record of serving the game and playing for the pride of nation. There abilities and commitment towards the game is beyond doubts and have given their best years of life for the success of Indian cricket team more ever still their game skills and playing abilities specially of sachin Ganguli are adequate to meet with the modern demands of the game even in the ODI format of the game. Secondly still in our country, sending the old aged parents to old age homes is treated as the mark of failure in fulfilling the responsibilities.
Players like the Sachin and Sourav have done a lot for the game and still they are performing well hence as the mark of respect we must leave it with them when they decided to call it a day for themselves. Here, I would like to quote Ishant sharma, when after returning from successful tour of Australia, he was asked about the experiences there, his reply was the that the most moral boosting thing of the tour was the sharing the thoughts and game plan with the players like Sachin, who had spend years on the cricket grounds almost equal of his age. Surely the physical abilities of human beings are always show a decline with growing age but that doest prove sufficient to mark end for the utility of the person concerned. The age factor has started to work against the fielding capacities of these senior players but still their talent, commitment and experience are compensating their this shortcoming and more importantly they are working for guiding the younger players and helping to build the future team by their presence in the team.
Can Dhoni even dare for dreaming of defeating Australia in Australia if he can keep performance of senior players like Sachin apart? The killing instant and aggression which is shown by the Indian team in the recent one year or so is an overnight developed attitude? Surely not, the present killing instant, zeal of winning and will of raising the performance under the pressures are the result of hard work and dedication of the players like Sachin Sourav and Dravid for over the years, considering all this we cay surely Dhoni has done a thing which doesn’t stands with the moral behavior of Indians.
If we go with the verbal meaning of statement given by Dhoni, This is objectionable at least the timing and way is surely but if we look at this as the attitude it will look a very great vision. Any way it will be more interesting to see reaction of Dhoni for such statement in coming few years. After all players like Sourav Ganguli, the most successful and inspiring captain has been force to leave the space vacant for captaincy by other and same will happen with Dhoni in few years from now. Most probably Dhoni missed that, surely it is the youth who can build the future building but this is to be build on the foundation stone provided by the elderly persons.

Twist of Selecting Indian Cricketers
Twist of Selecting Indian Cricketers
The mighty Australians are still not able to digest the ODI home series defeat at the hands of young Indian team and Indians are willing to keep continue to be in celebration mood for the this victory and winning of under 19 world cup cricket on the same day. As the world witness many sunrises since these two happenings hence the things started to settle down in to history book.
It is often said that every sunrise is bound to bring new hopes and new challenge together. Sunrise of this March 17th is going to bring a genuine challenge for the selectors of Indian cricket team as they have to pick the team for the home test match series against the newly ICC ranked No. 1 team of South Aferica. The twist of selection lies in the untold war of seniors and youngsters and gets more twisted turn with the report of physical trainer about the fitness problem of many players. It is fact that in the recent almost one year dominance of youth has been increased in the Indian team but no one will dare to deny the role played by the seniors in the recent victories of the team.
Forget about the selection committee because they know their job better and Indians are become habituate to bear the shock of one / two unexpected inclusion / exclusion in every selected team. Here we will try to find out the ideal composition of the cricket team.
The ideal composition of team is the five batsmen one wicket keeper batsman and five specialist bowlers with at least one batting all-rounder. Considering the Indian strength over the years with the aspect of batting and spin bowling and recent development of speedsters the ideal composition of team will be six batsman, one wicket keeper and four bowlers.
India is emerging as the new champion in the world cricket not of recent wins like the Twenty-20 World cup, beating Australia in Australia and winning the under-19 world but because of the strong bench strength on which Indians seems to be marching ahead of rest of the world.
Though it is said openers are the problems for the Indian team but look at options available for the selection committee
1. Gautam Gambhir
2. Wasim Jaffer
3. Aakash Chopara
4. Virendra Shewag
When we turn to middle order the option range become much more, wider with
1. Rahul Dravid
2. Sachin Tendulkar
3. Sourav Ganguli
4. V V S Laxman
5. Yuvraj Singh
6. Suresh Raina
7. Robin Uthappa
8. Mohd. Kaif
In the bowling department options available for the selection include the names [Zahir Khan being not fit is excluded from the list]
1. Anil Kumbale
2. Harbhajan Singh
3. Piyush Chawala
4. R. P Singh
5. S. Shreesanth
6. Ishant Sharma
7. Praveen Kumar
8. Murali Kartik
Indian players are facing the pressures of long schedules ahead of them at least till the end of this years they have to play back to back matches and series and surely it will be a true test for them to play the IPCL in famous Indian hot summer of months of April and May though the matches will be played late in the evening and will completed in just three hours but being of twenty 20 format, these three hours will be sufficient to absorb much of water from the fitness ocean of the players. Keeping all this I will pick the following 15 players [in order of batting]
1. Virendra Shewag
2. Gautam Gambhir
3. Rahul Dravid
4. Sachin Tendulkar
5. Saurav Ganguli
6. V V S Laxman
7. M S Dhoni
8. Irfan Pathan
9. Anil Kumbale
10. R. P Singh
11. Pravin Kumar
12. Ishant Sharma
13. Yuvraj Singh
14. Robin Uthappa
15. Piyush Chawala
I had preferred to rest Harbhjan just because of long schedule ahead and give yet another go for the young Piyush chawala to prove his worth. Having just one spinner in the playing eleven might also invite criticism from the giants of the game but considering the ability of rolling the arm over of Sachin and Shewag I can justify my selection however picking the playing eleven will be the right of team management who will be in better position to have measures of ground realities on those particular days of match. There is dispute over the fitness of Yuvraj and if he is rule out this ground I will prefer to include Suresh Raina, even S Badrinath who is not included in the options any where might get consideration here.

We the Indians
We the Indians
It is said that we are living in the democratic set up with all the freedom of expressing self and raising a voice to protest if any injustice at any walk of life. Have you ever though about these expressions and protesting voices? How much these are real and our own one?
At different walk of life we come across with the bios behavior of livings from the human world. The most recent one which may be quoted as the illustration is one that of Mr. Proctor, ICC match referee, at Sydney cricket test match between India and Australia. Australians had put allegation of racial comments against the Indian off spinner Harbhajan and even in the lack of decisive evidences match referee went on to punish Indian players, in the vision of Indian media this was the classic example of bios behavior, thanks that ICC appeal commissioner disagreed with the views of match referee and the probable division of cricketing world has been avoided. Don’t you think there is a little bit truth in the views of Australian media that decision of ICC appeal commissioner is influenced by the monetary powers held by BCCI in the cricketing world?
Look at Indians how easy to influence our thought process just because we are living with national quality of very short memory with an attitude of compromising with the situations with almost nil opposition. It is not the recent development that, though it appears like that, politicians always find ample space to get our emotions going on fire even for the issues which can be ignored continently for the sack of safe guarding of our social life. Look how the numerous televisions channels in the country are exploiting us for their huge economic gains. These channels are prompting us for being active on the issues nothing to do with our day to day life, neither day have an impact on our personal or social life. The most recent one is number game dispute among the Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan [the two actors from bollywood]. Does this number game war is going to affect life of common Indian in aspect? Surely the answer will be negative one but still these channels are projecting it as the most important happening of Indian social life and prompting people to express one’s views over the issue by SMS, so it can add enormously to the earnings of channels.
British rulers were aware of this attitude of Indians; hence they start working on it for influencing Indian thoughts for safe guarding of their rule over the country. They had opted education system for the purpose because any other method is capable of influencing one generation for a shorter period where as the affects produced through the education system not only goes for a considerable larger / huge period of time but also go on affecting generations and generations. Unfortunately after the independence no serious vision has been developed towards the educational system and almost the same system kept in continuation, look at the results, present Indian youth is considering self as the improvised version of human beings over own parents. The worst and dangerous scenario is that youth as started to treat the older generations as primitive one, unable to cope with changing times and subsequently making self deprived of rich life experiences of parents and grand parents. All this is prompting youth to fall pray of confusing thoughts and conflict over the choice of life style and thus get own life encircled with numerous avoidable pressures and stresses.
Look the effect of these influenced thoughts process; it keeps us so busy that we are unable to concentrate on the important issues of the life. How and to what a great extant we are fearful about the AIDS that we are not able to even think of non moral behavior of younger generations, being created as the result of their early exposure to condoms and other contraceptives, which are hugely advertised as the mean for the safer sex to safe guard one from this deadly disease AIDS. Is the AIDS more deadly in compare of the development of social attitude of youth by these aggressive advertisements? In fact it has increased the sexuality in our social life to such a great extant that in a country where women was worshiped as the Goddess in the past, presently is unable to find a safer place for calm and fearless existence.
I believe my this writing will sufficiently influence your thoughts and surely will prompt you for giving a second thought to things before acting and expressing reactions over a social happening.
It is said that we are living in the democratic set up with all the freedom of expressing self and raising a voice to protest if any injustice at any walk of life. Have you ever though about these expressions and protesting voices? How much these are real and our own one?
At different walk of life we come across with the bios behavior of livings from the human world. The most recent one which may be quoted as the illustration is one that of Mr. Proctor, ICC match referee, at Sydney cricket test match between India and Australia. Australians had put allegation of racial comments against the Indian off spinner Harbhajan and even in the lack of decisive evidences match referee went on to punish Indian players, in the vision of Indian media this was the classic example of bios behavior, thanks that ICC appeal commissioner disagreed with the views of match referee and the probable division of cricketing world has been avoided. Don’t you think there is a little bit truth in the views of Australian media that decision of ICC appeal commissioner is influenced by the monetary powers held by BCCI in the cricketing world?
Look at Indians how easy to influence our thought process just because we are living with national quality of very short memory with an attitude of compromising with the situations with almost nil opposition. It is not the recent development that, though it appears like that, politicians always find ample space to get our emotions going on fire even for the issues which can be ignored continently for the sack of safe guarding of our social life. Look how the numerous televisions channels in the country are exploiting us for their huge economic gains. These channels are prompting us for being active on the issues nothing to do with our day to day life, neither day have an impact on our personal or social life. The most recent one is number game dispute among the Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan [the two actors from bollywood]. Does this number game war is going to affect life of common Indian in aspect? Surely the answer will be negative one but still these channels are projecting it as the most important happening of Indian social life and prompting people to express one’s views over the issue by SMS, so it can add enormously to the earnings of channels.
British rulers were aware of this attitude of Indians; hence they start working on it for influencing Indian thoughts for safe guarding of their rule over the country. They had opted education system for the purpose because any other method is capable of influencing one generation for a shorter period where as the affects produced through the education system not only goes for a considerable larger / huge period of time but also go on affecting generations and generations. Unfortunately after the independence no serious vision has been developed towards the educational system and almost the same system kept in continuation, look at the results, present Indian youth is considering self as the improvised version of human beings over own parents. The worst and dangerous scenario is that youth as started to treat the older generations as primitive one, unable to cope with changing times and subsequently making self deprived of rich life experiences of parents and grand parents. All this is prompting youth to fall pray of confusing thoughts and conflict over the choice of life style and thus get own life encircled with numerous avoidable pressures and stresses.

Educational Outsourcing
Educational Outsourcing
Internet is no more a source of immense information and knowledge, in fact for the Indian students, house wives and retired persons it is emerging as the source of employment opportunities as in the America and European countries demand for the professionals for the educational tuitions is growing at very vigorous rate and these countries are looking at India as the outsource for the purpose.
Outsourcing is the term used for completing own work with the help of external agency. As there is lot of Indians with good command over the English language and computer skills and technological excellence of country is on the constant boost hence the country is emerging as the most reliable and trusted source for the various types of outsourcing. Comparatively low human labor rates than European countries and America are also helping India in this arena.
The recent trend of outsourcing is “e-tuitions”. Look at the per hour rates of private educational tuitions in U.K. [26 to 30 ponds] and America [45 to 50 $] but if an Indian is engaged for e-tuition the expense is reduced to something between Rs. 300 and Rs. 500 only. This is happening because traditionally Indian women are house wives and modern educated one are grabbing this chance because it provide facility of working from home and that too in the leisure time. Indian students perusing higher studies like the in Engineering, Medical and Management faculties are utilizing their after study time for earning handsomely. There are many I. T. companies from America and Europe working on the rate difference and earning many time more than any individual tutor.
e-tuitions have a kind of social effect on the life of Indians beside the economic gains. In the western world there is an emotion of hate for the hardworking talent Indians with a common complains that Indians are reducing the job opportunities for the natives. This educational outsourcing is proving turmoil for the fire as here Indians are getting jobs even without landing on the land of that particular country.
If we look at the essential requirements for the e-tuitions one needs a good computer, internet with sufficiently high speed and with VOI facility and a good quality web camera. All this is not a huge investment and even available at net café’s of many cities in the country. The dominance of Indians can be reflected from the fact that over 70% e-tuitions of U.K. and USA are given by the Indians. There are very high chances that future professionals of these countries will be one, educated by an Indian teacher.

Train in the Sky [Journey to Delhi]
Train in the Sky [Journey to Delhi]
Surprised to read the title, how unknowingly to me, Indian railway has gone to such progressed status? This might be the question you may be asking to self? No dear still the services of Indian railways are limited to terrestrial faculty only, I am talking about the “Budget Air lines” opening a new, affordable and time saving travel alternative available for the Indians.
I was bit excited on the morning of 5th February 2008 as it was first chance for me to board on a domestic flight covering the distance between Pune and Delhi. The first thing which surprised me was the instruction of Airline “ We prefer reporting time two hours prior to schedule time of flight”, as I was traveling from Kolhapur to Pune by train, which was schedule to reach at Pune early morning, well ahead of schedule time of flight, so it was not a problem for me.
My son’s friend Deepak was waiting for me at Pune station, after detraining he took me to Pune Air port at Lehgaon, where we sit for discussion on share market and mutual funds. I was traveling Delhi for the shooting of first nine episodes of “Public Ka Vittmantri” and as this was one of the nine topics on which every participant was supposed to express the expectation of common people from the forthcoming union budget of the country. Deepak being an investment guide was the perfect person to learn more about the faculty.
At about 10:30 Deepak asked my permission for reaching to his office on time and after that I was there at the front desk of “Indigo” after handing over my check in luggage I was with boarding pass and about 80 minutes of time before the boarding. Really it was pity that at waiting lounge Tea was almost tasteless and I was forced to go out to have one with smoke at canteen outside. Surprisingly I was allowed to step out even with boarding pass.
Almost one hour before the schedule time we have been asked to proceed for security check in and wait in the departure lounge. Fan wings of the plane started moving almost 15 minutes after the schedule departure time. I asked the lady from the cabin crew after we were stable in air for some biscuits and water. The service was very prompt but I was still drinking the water she returned back and asked me for paying Rs. 20/- for the two pieces of cookies, for which you might not preferred to pay even Rs. 5/- while buying from the market. The surprised were still not finished as I have to wait almost one hour for collecting my check in luggage at Delhi Air port. Yet another surprised was stored there for my return journey by “go air” where even drinking water was the paid service.
I am not objecting for the paid catering service, my objection is with the quality and rates, when the air line companies are realizing that they have to remain within the budget of middle class economy on the fare fronts why the same realization is not visualized for the catering? Surely paying something between the Rs. 80 and Rs. 150/- for a vegetable sandwich or Rs. 10/- for a 200 ml drinking water bottle is not within the affordability of Indian middle class economy.
As for as the leg space is concern it was even narrower than the leg space of 2X2 Asiad buses but as the most of the passengers were traveling a distance to be covered in the duration of 2-3 hours hence this can be taken as the avoidable discomfort.
My, this travel experience will remain incomplete for me if I forget to mention Mr. Bharat, the cook at guest house of Zee at Delhi. Host in true sense, humble in nature, a person with ability of understanding your choice of food within seconds. As the concluding remark I wish to thank Mr. Dinesh Joshi [from Zee Business] producer of “Public ka Vittmantri” for taking efforts for making my stay at Delhi comfortable.
