Chak De yaara- promoting peace

Posted by speakindia on December 31, 2007

On the 30th december 2007 I saw a show “Chak de yaara” on star plus which had the Indian and Pakistan cricket team along with their coaches and other supporting panel. To host the show, we had none other than King khan (shahrukh khan) . The event I thought was a fabulous event and the message it gave ( The message of peace ) was the best part. I think about 99.99 % of the population on India and Pakistan want us to be one, except for the people in power and some religious psychopaths. Speak India is with the 99.99% and it is my appeal to all the citizens of India and Pakistan to promote peace and unity. Apart from that the military rule in Pakistan, I feel is a major hurdle (led by Pervez Musharaff ). Any ways art and culture I feel is going to lead the way. So CHAK DE INDIA and PAKISTAN.

Lyrical trends of 2007

Posted by speakindia on December 31, 2007

In 2007  the lyrics of our bollywood songs changed drastically and we listened to something new this time. The lyrics were simple, easy to understand and casual. Normally our lyricists are quite adept at their job and use language in a very aesthetic manner, which takes some time to understand. It was nice for a change.

Best lyrics of 2007

1. BIDI JALAILE – omkara

2. E Ganpat chal Daaru la – shootout at lokhandwala

What to do on 31st December 2007

Posted by speakindia on December 30, 2007

What to do on 31st December 2007 becomes the most important question in the last week of 2007. The answers are many. But I decided to rate these answers starting from the worst answers i.e. the least important answer to the best answer(what I think should be done)

# The decision of “Where to party” (i.e. with friends) [Worst question]

# “Which BABA/Astrologer is the best adviser. “ [remember you are your own best adviser, Babas' can tell you what is going to happen, but cannot change your destiny. You can change your own destiny]

# “Which program/movie to watch on Television” [Stop being such a couch potato and for gods' sake, switch off that idiot box]

# Plan your 2008. Take the blessings of your relatives and pray for a happier tomorrow. Bring more love in your life and throw out anger. Try to help others, the needy and have fun. My idea of spending the 31st December 2007 is to spend with family. So have fun. Chao!!! [Thats the right choice... Aha...]

Top 5 professions of 2007

Posted by speakindia on December 30, 2007

#(1) Music reality TV

Music reality TV became the best profession in 2007 offering instant fame to the talented singers, the not so talented singers, anchors and the judges, giving them a platform to pursue a profession in which success is hard to come. Not to forget the moolahs earned by the TV channel by promoting almost every movie and the mobile service providers (SMeSSes… The actual mess)

The winners in music reality TV are

1. Saregamapa
2. Indian Idol
3. Star voice of India
4. Mission Ustad
5. Bathroom singer

#(2) Sadhus/Astrologers/Yoga guru on News channels

The most viewed and believed people on the television are the sadhu babas who give their advices to the people who have time to listen. They actuate people to think positively and give other pravachan and not to mention the dakshina(donations)

#(3) News Anchors

Plenty of news channels have popped up creating ample opportunities for journalists and news anchors. Don’t forget the BREAKING NEWS and the CRIME reporting program where the anchor, I suppose looks like the actual criminal(no offenses, just kidding)

 #(4) Comedians/actors (daily soaps)

The number of channels offering family and wholesome entertainment have quadrupled in the last few years. With these channels, the number of serials have also increased and hence creating opportunities for the big screen, not so lucky dreamers to showcase their talent and earn a good sum of money. Apart from them we also have the behind the screen people who have also got a chance to work in the creative field.

The breath of fresh air : The reality show : “Great Indian laughter challenge” was a breath of air, giving us viewers a relief from the emotion packed family sagas. Although this entertainment was not always family oriented and crossed the line between decent(slap stick) and vulgar. Not to mention the agony of those who were the victims of their gig.

#(5) Software oriented

Finally at the bottom of top 5 is a not so high paying glamorous field but we have a field that has given handsome salary and a good status to many Indians.

We should not interfere in Pakistans’ internal affairs

Posted by speakindia on December 30, 2007

Benazir Bhuttos’ assassination was a sad incident. She was ray of hope, a sun that would have shined over a successful peoples’ Pakistan. Now that the sun has burned out because of reprobative fundamentalists, the story is over. Its time to look into future. It seems the media in India have made themselves as detectives, chiefly responsible for finding the culprit. They keep on playing the video clip of a person firing or they show the pictures of the heads of the people who blew themselves up and executed the crime. But the interference is becoming too much it seems and is going to invite trouble only. The fundamentalists are crazy people with ideas and people to addle any nation, its culture and people.

Whats Next: Doctors of death

Posted by speakindia on December 29, 2007

Doctors of Death

I have noticed that in the past few months a lot of people are dying from cancer, which the doctor is not able to diagnose early. Also the medical profession has been turned into a commercial business. They recommend many tests which are costly and have a tie up with the testing centers.

A Recent case

An employee in a well known company in NEW DELHI was admitted to MAX hospital when she became unconscious at work. On bringing her to the hospital they said it is an emergency and they will only look into the matter on admitting her. The admission fees are very high. When her colleague shouted at the doctor, then only he looked into the matter. It was just a matter of exertion which was turned into emergency.

Have you ever faced a situation where your closed ones have suffered because of a negligent money minded doctor. We would like to know about your experience

Domestic violence

Posted by speakindia on December 29, 2007

Youths throws acid on 17 year old girl in New Delhi

Domestic violence has considerably increased in past few months with most of the victims being women or children. Recently on the 27th December 2007 two unidentified youths threw acid on a 17 year old girl. Its shameful of such people to commit such a horrendous crime. You are affecting many lives. The life of the girl is obviously affected , her family is also getting affected. The stains of this attack will remain with her throughout her life.

I ask SPEAK INDIA readers

What should be done to such bastards?

My solution

They should be given life imprisonment.
