WAR or No WAR




The heat is on aftermath of Mumbai attacks and tensions building up both sides of India & Pakistan.

Is WAR appropriate at this juncture, when global economy is crumbling and both developing countries end up spending Billions of dollars?

The answer for that is told by our predecessors in ancient epics as Sama ( Peace), Dana (Finance), Bedha (Differentiate) and Danda(WAR).

India has been adopting other methods Sama and Dana for quite some time to appease Pakistanis and some extent our own Kashmiris. Our leaders extended a hand lot of times to make peace and ended up with the last option (War) in the past.

But It looks like Pakistanis never learnt from this....it always becomes emotional when things come up with India. Why do not they learn from Germans, Koreans...who fought wars, but today they are one country. of course Pakistan cut their umbilical chord about 60 years ago from India.

The strategy adopted by India is absolutely right at this juncture, create bedha....show how different is Pakistan administration and put global pressure on it till it recedes. The only way to avoid war is to use sanctions against Pakistan, the already crippled country can not take much and would or hope that they would eradicate terrorism from state sponsorship.

Mahabaleshwar - A Nice location


Pune is rich with hill stations around, one of them is Mahabaleshwar, which is just 120KM from Pune. Rich with Strawberry farms and three big Valleys, Koyena, Krishna and Venna. There are lot of view points to look at valleys and also a point where five rivers meet, apart from above three Savitri and Gayatri. Krishna river actually originates here and flows through Karnataka and Andhra before finally merges in to sea.

It is a nice weekend outing place.

Be Part of the Solution


We have seen lot of blame game happening post Mumbai attacks, all nine expressions (Anguish, Anger, Dissent, Pride, Happiness, Sorrow, Hatred, Fear, Scare) shown by the people towards political system and Terrorism. I agree there is lot complacency, callousness and incompetency displayed by political system, but did we think who created this.

Did you ever vote?
Did you vote right candidate?
Do you know you can go to Polling booth and reject the vote, if there is no eligible candidate (it is your constitutional right)?
Why do not you join politics?

We need to answer ourselves!!! If we want to be comfortable with the Jobs we do and go home and take care of family, yes that is your choice!
But if you want to cleanse the system, you need to do at least one of the questions I asked.

Think over my dear Indian...
