Property prices set to rock the sky

Property prices from most of the major cities in the state have been booming exponentially. And there is no sign to get them down as our economy set to take big leap. At the same time a section of society have that much purchasing power to take up the matter of buying property with less financial stress. But, as usual middle class families are running in to distress and having tough time to dream in order to purchase property for their living.
Couple of days back British national Indian origin businessman bought a flat on the incredible price of 34 crores rupees in Mumbai. Even, Reliance Industry’s owner Anil Ambani and one more prominent businessman bought three plots in Mumbai at three thousands crores rupees. These are some bright examples to depict how property prices from some growing cities from the Maharashtra rocking the sky.
If you go to real estate market to purchase one BHK flat, it will cost you around twenty to twenty five lacks rupees even in the outskirt of city. Forget the dream of having small home. It is only possible by buying agriculture land from any village. And if you are not a farmer like Amitabh Bachchan, you have give up this idea. Owning property in city is not an easy going thing now. Majority of population relate to salary class. They are earning ten to thirty thousands per months. In other wards, they must be getting eight to twenty five thousands in hand. How can they purchase plat on installment and simultaneously meet expenses of their family. As they have to pay thousand rupees as an installment for per lack loan.
State government has taken a strong cognizant of this prevailing situation and initiate action by coming out with couple of measures. Government successfully scrapped Urban Land Ceiling Act (ULCRA) in on-going winter session at Nagpur. The out come is the result of Central Government’s stern warning to withhold around 10 thousands crores of grand mend for development of cities. The repealing of ULCRA will prevent individuals to hold more than 500 square meter land. This figure varies from city to city like in Pune the limit is 1000 square meter. The possessors of excess land have to either hand over their land to state government or construct homes for poor and let the government sell them. It will substantially scale down huge land holding in order to take advantages of rising property prices. Due to booming property prices some rich individuals go for property investment rather than putting funds in share market. Now repealing ULCRA will have adverse impact on such dead investment and remove major hurdles. State Government also planned to table another Act related to vacant land. It will prevent people to keep their plots vacant for more then three years. If they do so, they will have to pay 40 percent tax of entire market value of the plot. So, it will be beneficial for them to construct their plot rather than paying huge amount unnecessarily. This decision will bring down property prices as most of the people will throw their vacant plot in the real estate market. And rapid urbanization will be possible after that. Recently, state government passed Pune Corporation’s proposal to enhance upper limit of height for construction of buildings. It is now take up to 34 stories. But, major barrier is that Indians don’t like to live in multi-stories building more than normal five to ten stories. But this move will be beneficial to construct business centers like some western counties. So our cities will looks like western cities like New York and Washington.
Meanwhile, renowned social activist Medha Patkar has take strong exception of the government’s move and threaten to launch state wide agitation. She said that the scrapping of ULCRA has been done on behalf of some builders as now they will get large land from the heart of the city and villages adjoining to these cities. They were running out of scarcity of land for construction. That’s why they have pressured government to scrape this Act. Farmers from these villages will be having tough time to continue with agriculture activity. And they would not get proper market value as they are not well aware of the present market rates and trends.

Dead end started for Musharraf

Bowing to the stiff pressure from western Godfather and international community over his long time stay as army general, Pakistani General and present President Pervez Musharraf handed over his prestigious baton to his colleague from army. This move added a unique chapter in Pakistani history of ruling generals. No one spontaneously laid down their arms so far. His decision had been considered the ultimate end of eight long years of his rule following bloodless military coup against then Prime Minister Nawab Sharif. His tenure remains full of controversies. His pro-American approach and anti-Taliban stand make him vulnerable against Fundamentalist and Islamic extremist. However, he still enjoys indirect support from general Pakistani people due to his administration’s tough initiative for moderate Pakistani society.
When he took over power from Sharif, Pakistan was armed with deadly nuclear weapons. And couple of years back it had large-scale military confrontation with India in Kargil region of J&K. His sudden decision to expel Sharif and assume all powers make world to look at Pakistani developments anxiously. It was usual affairs for Pakistani people because they have seen several generals coming out to head their country. Such tradition has been intact there from so many years. Even some Pakistani came out openly to welcome his decision and distributed sweets to showcase their happiness.
Musharraf remained American loyalist to ease pressure from International community. Terrorist attack on American twin tower came as shot in arm as Pakistan was the only American ally who could pave the way for American army to march straightly to doors of Afghanistan. Talibanis were allegedly ruling Afghan region at that time. Osama-bin-laden the mastermind of merciless terrorist attack on twin tower was hiding in Afghanistan. American so called war against terrorism bring bunch of potential opportunities. Musharraf was very cleaver to utilize this situation in order to retrieve funds from America and extend his rule. Left with no option America had to blindly believe Musharraf. He extracted numerous military deals to boost up his military might. These popularized deals facilitated him to put one more credit to his achievements in the eyes of general people.
Some time he had to act under the American pressure but he labeled it as friendship gesture. His move against militants hide out in Lal Majid literally irked Pakistani conservative society and pro-Taliban supporters. They carried out several suicide attacks on political and military leaders to show their strength. In fact, some Baluch faction supporting Taliban open arm movement against Pakistani military. Frequent terrorist attack triggered a fear of same fate for Pakistan what the Iraq now have after cruel Saddam rule.
Politician like Benzir Butto and Nawab Sharif sense the gravity of situation and came down to Pakistan to launch one more front against him. Finally he decided to hand over his military power to his subordinate general and loyalist. Now he assumed Presidentship to take constitutional cover. But fear of deadly attack still loom over his head. He is in the eye of the storm and terrorist anytime targets him. They may hit at him after his eventual retirement. They are just waiting for convenient opportunity…

Indian Yoga heading to west

We don’t preserve our ancient arts at all though we are inherited die-heart art lover. We have honorably presented Karate to other Asian countries. They are now enriching this art and it has been recognized world over by their name. We are not even at the isolated corner of the picture. Like wise Yoga is our invention. But lack of awareness and general practice among people we are gradually losing our grip. And some western country’s people are showing their deep interest for Yoga. It may be their liking but question is why Indians don’t cherish such liking for Indian art form. Why do we go for western stuff? Now even 007 Daniel Craig has been practicing Yoga on heel of his forthcoming movie’s shooting. He wanted to have some kind of cool warm up.
We have eternal habit to accept whatever western countries throw out of their ambit. We feel very graceful to take up their discarded stuff. Even we never upgrade it to make up to the mark. Disco, late night party, multiple love affairs, fast food etc. etc. came from that side we accepted blindly. Quality doesn’t matters. They have tested it that is quite sufficient to rely on. When will we shed up this habit? We neither invent anything useful nor have mentality to respect our ancient assets in form of art. When days will come that we would be able to market our goods by our name vociferously. When world would take Indian product without any doubts in mind. We should create conductive atmosphere for that. And government too should play their active role by putting some funds in order to promote our products.

Finally tigress bend to politics

What could be the more shocking news for every die-heart Indian? One more warrior lay down her arms in front of political devils. She was the first IPS lady officer who stands firmly against mal-practices and corruption without any kind of substantial support from any quarter. She has been transferred to Tihar jail against her wish so that she should not be able to take stern action against any prominent and influential miscreants. By this decision our government literally tried to tie her active hands. Left with no option she had to assume responsibility suddenly put on her strong shoulders. But you can’t silence creative mind. She showcases the unique example of converting disgusting Indian jail to social reform center. She literally transforms prisoner’s life toward peace and prosperity. Even United Nation takes cognizant of her inspirational work. And she had been appointed to higher committee for reforms in law and order sector. She was facilitated by Magsaysay award in the reorganization of her work. But our government simply overlooks her qualities. She has been denied from deserving promotion to occupy Delhi Commissioner’s post. She expresses her anger by going on medical leaves for as many as six months. However, her every attempt failed to wake up deaf government machinery. Finally she decided to quite and put down her uniform forever. She has tendered resignation to Home Department. And I don’t think that she may take back step. She said that she would like to work for social reform, women empowerment and weaker section of society.
It’s bright example of overpowering bad over good. We have been experiencing it from so many years. Earlier unruly cruel rulers rule us. We were living on their mercy. After that British came to rub salt on our wounds. Now, politicians are trying their best to play with people for their benefit. They are quite dangerous, as even they don’t know for whom they have been working.
Now, we should be able to digest Bedi’s resignation like some more examples in future. People working for the benefit of human being very meticulously put on rest in our so-called developing country. First we have to modulate our thinking patters to shattered government’s age-old machinery. Bringing changes hasn’t seems to be too much easy. Forget dreaming superpower status. 2020 target going far ways from our clutches. Don’t you think that we won’t like such superpower India lead by goons and corrupt politicians? It’s better to live under the aegis of another superpower. Don’t you think so…

Ex-love matters

Sometime we have to leave some part of our life behind to go forward and discover new spice. It happens with everyone. And gradually we start understanding, how to deal with such unexpected situation. After some days initial hesitation and mental trauma transform into source of inspiration and use-to behavior. In fact in some cases we candidly accept innovative developments vociferously and literally forget our previous life. But as a matter of fact in some instances we have to face previous life with new one, which result into major mental stress.
Now, Brajelina have been facing same problem due to Brad Pitt’s ex-wife Jennifer Anniston’s proximity with her ex-mother-in-law. Pitt’s mother Jane has been spending lot of time with Jennifer even as her son’s breakup and initial tie-up with Angelina Jolie. Angelina already raised her doubt on this issue making Pitt more nervous. It has been seems to be more difficult to Pitt to deal with such unexpected developments in his life. He is trying on his best to cope up with this situation. Even dealing with one woman is tough and now a days Pitt having three women in his affairs.
Meanwhile, Angelina’s closeness with her bodyguard raised concerns. She even called British national bodyguard by her pet name. She believes him lot and trusts his decisions. This news has been in the eye of storm over wide publicity. But Pitt’s hasn’t seems to be worried as he has to face such news items on daily basis. Some media guys meet their two quarters of life by airing such baseless issues regarding influential people. Such reveling stories find suitable place to boost up readership of some newspapers.
Now, it is quite clear that not only our ex-love but also ex-life matters somewhere. When you have settled down in your new life with substantial comprise and ex-love encroach some part of your and your family member’s life it district your peace. But we should not forget that when we tie-up with any girl/boy we are indirectly stimulate other family members to have some relation with him/her. And when we find it difficult to continue with our relation, we resort to breakup. But it doesn’t mean that our family members could be able to break their emotional bonds with him/her very easily. They still continue their course. Some time parents are more close to their in-law to son/daughter. But, such proximity makes their sibling to get worried.
Facing such ambiguous situation test our capability to sort out the issue. First, we should take in to consideration our present life and behave accordingly. If by mistaken we neglect present life partner, it may cost us in any regard. Once we feel that we are quite comfortable to win her/him confidence, we can approach ‘ex’ to redress the grievances.

Dual standards for racial abuse

We have curtain prejudice in our mind. They have inherited from years for our benefits. And we are quite happy to enrich them by our activity or praising and endorsing some nonsense incidents. We feel proud of having something, which others don’t have. And that proud make us vulnerable. Our block mind distance ourselves from reality prevail in society.
It’s quite true that we aren’t ready to eradicate these prejudice instead we come forward to condemned undesirable incidents happens against so called our people. We unanimously come to gather to talk on racial abuse at other parts of the world. Racial abuse against our actors at UK immediately becomes hot topic for discussion. And it gets undue response and subsequent publicity. But we failed to talk about public atrocity against Adivasi and Dalits in our country. Why do we have two parameters for same discrimination? When white people don’t allow us to mix-up with them we feel sorry and get angry. But what will be your perception so far as discrimination at our doorstep happens on an average basis. How do we talk about MR. Bush’s duel stand regarding fight against terrorism?
Female workers of All Assam Adivasi Student’s Association have been stripped on road in full public view by locales at Guwahati in Assam. They were protesting against ill treatment given by some middle class locals while earlier protest. Police remain a mute spectator during entire drama. No one resist unruly people to do so. Nuke girls were running helter and shelter to search cover. And people were still busy to tear their remaining cloths and some to look at their open body parts. Two girls have been killed and as many as 200 injured in clashes. It once again highlighted broader social divide persist in our country. Although we talk lot on this issue to showcase our liberal image, we are hardcore raciest up to certain extent. And this reality directly or indirectly come to fore on certain phenomenon. Do you think that we have right to condemned racial treatment attributed by white people? I don’t think so…

Marriages made in heaven

Do you believe that marriages made in haven? It has been true so far marriages of Hariyani groom and Keralian brides are concern. It sounds quite strange. But two ends of long Indian terrain meet there for some fortunate life partners.
Boys from Haryana’s Hissar district seem to be too much fascinated to seek life partners from Kerala’s Kannur district, which is most probably thousands of kilometers away. Even girls don’t hesitate to marry unknown person from entirely different region. Distance doesn’t matter when need or some bonds come to fore. Here need plays a vital game for marriage.
This inherited tradition discovered in Hissar district has been going on from so many years. Even elders from this district can’t spell out any concrete details regarding these long lasing bonds. Despite lot of barriers like caste, creed, language, traditions etc. all marriages are successful. No one express concern or raise serious reservations. Both parties come to gather to sort out their differences. And ultimately mutual trust and understanding make their life easier.
However, girls find it extremely difficult to live in totally different situation. Back in Kerala girls ware sari and specks Malayalam. They have to accept Haryana’s dress code that is Salwar Kudata. And as per the tradition they have to cover their face when unknown person comes to home. At the same time learning Hindi is must as everyone speaks in this national language. Even atmosphere plays very fatal game as Haryana remain extreme cold or hot all over the year. Sudden temperature change causes them with health problems. One newly married girl said that one day my husband ask me to bring salt. I brought everything from kitchen except salt, as I was unable to understand his language. Even today I don’t talk to him only hand signs and gesture work as a language.
Marriage in Haryana cost near about 50 thousands rupees and couple of lacks in Kerala. So such marriages have been considered cost saving. And sex ratio in Haryana has been going down to widen fatal gap between number of marriageable male and female. This social stigma resulted in to innovation of distinct tradition. After all we are Indians…we should breaks all barriers…

One more victim of LOVE

Love is a passion. Love is the madness. But still people fall in love and sustain serious injuries. Some time in heart and some time on mind. Body remains isolated area.
One furious boy from Kolkata came to tenseltown where he mate a girl in new year bash. Their friendship turned into romantic relation called love. Girl too was from Kolkata living with her uncle at Mumbai’s posh Oshiwara apartment. She was pursuing her modeling career. Boy was at the top of the world over a smart model’s acceptance of his proposal. But, their love runs into tragedy after couple of months. The key reason still remain untraceable. She refused to pick up his mobile calls and turn down meeting offers. Her continuous refusal fills him with anger. And anger took ulgy face.
He went to girl’s apartment and shot her mother who was there to stay with her daughter and uncle. He waited for girl who subsequently came there with her friend. But she managed to escape from death trap laid by him. Fearing caught by police finally the boy shot at temple.
This incident once again highlighted Cosmo sexual life style. We should understand the tentative love and eventual breakups happens into such love affairs. Not only boys but also girls from conservative society most probably become easy victims of such affairs. Farce relationship’s trauma some time makes someone to take extreme step. It could be ending our life or taking undue revenge by killing innocent lives even those who don’t have any relevance to incidents. Anger destroys thinking power. Which result into big tragedy…

Similar fate like Dad

What it should be called a similar fate like dad. History repeats itself remain a grim reality. Congress party’s young MP and only heir of ruling Gandhi family Rahul has been leading unfortunate fate like his father Rajiv. Recently arrested JeM ultras has reveled in the police interrogation that they would have kidnapped Rahul while his Amethi visit by garlanding him by grenades. They wanted to release some dreaded terrorist from Indian jail by this kidnapping drama. It highlights the JeM’s change in strategy to target influential people and carrying out suicide attack on sensitive places like national vital installations.
Earlier Rahul was studying and working in US. He was quite happy with his sole bread earner stint and simple life like common man. But his mom paves the way for his eventual entry in Indian politics. In fact, she had to pursued him first to come down to India. She stimulated him to be the part of ruling congress party. He assumed organizational responsibility as a party worker like his father. His father wasn’t that much fortunate to enter in politics in a conductive period. He had to take up his job as Prime Minister immediately after the sudden death of Indira Gandhi. Soniya didn’t want such volatile situation while Rahul’s entry in politics.
But that’s not over for Rahul. Disasters like life threats have been waiting for him. His father was killed in barbaric suicide attack in Tamilnadu. It was a handiwork of LTTE. Had terrorist garlanded Rahul by grenades, it would have been serious situation. They might have killed him rather the putting demands for ransom or terrorist.

Adulterated delicious sweets

Next time when you will get down to market to purchase delicious sweets kept in the fascinating, glittering boxes, your experience would not be that much sweet. In the shocking revelation some sweet vender from South Delhi has disclose the genuine truth hidden in the making of sweets. They apparently accepted that most of sweets available in the market contain chemicals, detergents and adulterants. While speaking with media person, they said that they have to mix-up these hazardous items as demand for sweets immediately go up due to festive season. And they have to resort to adulteration of milk even if they know it is not hygienic to health. The profit margin also play very crucial role because people are ready to purchase sweets at any cost. And these materials substantially reduce the cost of production. Sweet’s test doesn’t change even after mix-up. Even daily consumer can’t detect slight distortion in test. And on such festive atmosphere no one bother to mind test and shades.
After viewing such news items the first thing comes to our mind that is where are food and drugs official. They should initiate stern action against such malpractices. Some vender’s are playing with public health for small amount of money. Distributing sweets has been considered as integral part of festivity. Indians love sweets on all occasions. Such illegal trade practices should be close before taking ugly face. Otherwise any other day some innocent life would lost after consuming sweets.

ICICI for distress

Delhi’s consumer court slapped around 55 lacks fine on ICICI bank for using goons to recovery. A decision has been seen very crucial as most the banks across the country using this illegal way to recover doubtful debts. The court has termed the way against genuine practices, which Indian banks likely to be undertake. While hearing on complaint file by Delhi’s one of the customers in this regard, court attributed this landmark decision. The complainant had purchased a car on loan from ICICI bank. But, he failed to pay all installments on time. The so-called recovery agents cum goon beaten him and his friend’s son mercilessly and took possession of the car.

Why on the last day of job…

Pune based BPO employee 22-years-old Jyoti Choudhari brutally murdered by her cab driver and a stranger, who was inside the car, when she was on the way to resume last day of her job. She was working with Wipro. Police recovered her strangulated body from an open farm nearby Wadgaon off the Pune-Mumbai expressway. The due has been arrested soon after the incident. And they accepted their involvement in the heinous crime. First she was raped and latter murdered in order to wiped out evidences. But her murder on last day of her stint at Wipro raises many eyebrows. Why only on last day! And not a single employee from Wipro was accompanying her as per the directives given by the police and IT firms. Most of the IT companies equipped their cabs by the highly sophisticated device to monitor them constantly by GPRS system following similar incident happened in Bangalore. This device helps security wing of company to track down vehicle’s movement during journey. If any cab changes its way mysteriously while traveling, the security department immediately comes to know to take precautionary actions. Why Wipro hasn’t put their vehicles for such high profile security system.
