This is one of the email that forwarded to me by one of my dear friend “Chintu” - his real name is Nikhil and I’m thankful to him for sharing it with me and I thought that it should be shared with the world and so here’s this wonderful point that some guy named Naren wrote. I’ve to say - Naren, brilliant thoughts!!!
Dearest Friends,
We are leaving for a holiday to Lakshwadeep this May. Fantastic preparations have been done. The train reservations are in place. Enough information has been gathered on the places to visit and things to do. The right kind of clothing, the necessary medicines, the anticipatory boredom tackling schemes have been discussed in details.
The best place to stay has been booked. A few local contacts too have been found. The right company for the holidays have been identified, convinced and enthused.
The holidays are still more than a month away. We leave on 6th of May. But everyday there is a discussion on how to make the holidays the best ever. For brilliant memories, a camera, a handicam, enough spare batteries have already found there way to the luggage.
This makes me wonder. We plan so well for the holidays. Most of us do not plan our life so well. Why?
Is it because holidays sound ‘fun’ and life not so?
Is it because holidays are a break from routine and life is routine?
Is it because holidays are an escape and life to me looks like a bondage?
Is it because I look forward to holidays while I look behind in life?
Kya baat hai? Sochoooo mmmm?
Like Farhan Akhtar croons in the movie ‘Rock on’…
Socha Hai Kya Tumne Kya Kabhi?
Socha Hai Kya Tumne Kya Kabhi?
Socha Nahi to Socho Abhiiiiiii…
Happy holidays,
With love, prayers and best wishes,
naren

Good memories are something that you cherish all your life, be it small or be it big and so I decided to share one of the good memories that I experienced long time back and also thought of discussing politics (that I really don’t do much). Ok coming back to my good ol’ memory..
I clearly remember that how I was jumping with joy and was telling my whole family (we live in a joint family) about the Rs. 100 Cheque that I got as a prize from Contest2Win.com. I was like just another teenager who stole money from house (yeah! I’ve done this sin too) to play video games and to go to internet cafes and do all sorts of stuff on the internet [now I think that may be - jo hota hai acche ke liye hota hai, at least - internet is now paying me back more than what I spent on it :)]. I got the prize because, I was the first guy to cast the vote in one the polls they had and that’s about 7-8 yrs. back. The cheque came in my name and was account payee and to ensure that I don’t get disheartened, my dad gave me Rs. 100 saying that he’ll be able to en-cash it (he’s such a sweet heart). And guess what… what did I do with that money??? Spent it on internet to play more games on C2W
Why I decided to talk about this sweet little memory of mine? Well, I’m in mumbai and one of my dear friends, Ankita told me about this India Votes Campaign that was launched by Contest2Win and suddenly that memory of mine started floating in front of my eyes and thought that I’ll surely blog about it.. I anyway don’t have much things to do in this flat that Manik is graciously letting me share with him for 15 days! So cool of him! Thanks bro!
After I checked the campaign, I found it cool and thought that I should talk about it on my blog too and so here’s little commentary about it
Well, no matter what - things have changed in last 7-8 yrs. coz at least now the prize money has gone up from Rs. 100 to rs. 1500
[who's complaining about recession ?:P]
This little contest is actually a nice initiative that lets you create and take quizzes about the politicians that you know or like. I took few quizzes and found a great deal about the politicians and after taking the quiz, I started reading more about those politicians and I can surely say that - I came to know a great deal about them and probably will effect my decision too.
ciao for now… see ya later!

I was away for almost a month’s time and was busy in tata jagriti yatra. It was one fun event and made some amazing friends. I’m missing them badly at the moment and specially all the fun we had. You won’t believe this.. but our hygine level’s standard went from good to worse as we even took bath in train toilets, slept on platform…even streched our back on road!
No matter what… it was pure fun and full of enthusiasm.
after coming back, i’m back with my blog design studio and usb flash. Apart from that I’ve also joined skyquestcom and I’m enjoying every single bit of it as I realized that I love sales as well! sales are pure fun…
so these were the few udpates…will post as something new will happen in my life…ciao for now!

Ok this is one of the forwards which I got.. and I think its just super duper correct..!!!! I think he should be kept in jail and shouldn’t be allowed to address public. Anyway.. enjoy the forward….
We all should support Raj Thackeray and take his initiative ahead by doing more…
1. We should teach our kids that if he is second in class, don’t study harder.. just beat up the student coming first and throw him out of the school
2. Parliament should have only Delhiites as it is located in Delhi
3. Prime-minister, President and all other leaders should only be from Delhi
4. No Hindi movie should be made in Bombay. Only Marathi.
5. At every state border, buses, trains, flights should be stopped and staff changed to local men
6. All Maharashtrians working abroad or in other states should be sent back as they are SNATCHING employment from Locals
7. Lord Shiva, Ganesha and Parvati should not be worshiped in our state as they belong to north (Himalayas)
8. Visits to Taj Mahal should be restricted to people from UP only
9. Relief for farmers in Maharashtra should not come from centre because that is the money collected as Tax from whole of India, so why should it be given to someone in Maharashtra?
10. Let’s support kashmiri Militants because they are right in killing and injuring innocent people for benifit of there state and community… …
11. Let’s throw all MNCs out of Maharashtra, why should they earn from us? We will open our own Maharashtra Microsoft, MH Pepsi and MH Marutis of the world .
12. Let’s stop using cellphones, emails, TV, foreign Movies and dramas. James Bond should speak Marathi
13. We should be ready to die hungry or buy food at 10 times higher price but should not accept imports from other states
14. We should not allow any industry to be setup in Maharashtra because all machinery comes from outside
15. We should STOP using local trains… Trains are not manufactured by Marathi manoos and Railway Minister is a Bihari
16. Ensure that all our children are born, grow, live and die without ever stepping out of Maharashtra, then they will become true Marathi’s
This should somehow reach Raj Thackrey so forward it to as many people as possible.
