************************************************

Anna Hazare is a 74 years old gentleman but his enthusiasm, zeal and energy can put the youth in their 20s to shame.

His crusade against corruption has brought out the entire country [except the "cyskics" (cynics, skeptics and critics all rolled into one)] on the streets. While Anna Hazare remains the man of the moment, there's an entire dedicated team which works with him and whose members' full-time profession is activism. Then there are also dedicated people who remain behind the scenes and take care of the social media campaigning, technical stuff, logistics etc.

Let's take a look at the front-bench members of the Jan Lokpal movement:

************************************************************************

Arvind Kejriwal

Recipient of the prestigious awarded Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership in 2006, Kejriwal has emerged as a true “youth icon” during the last few months. He was born in Hissar, Haryana in 1968, and graduated from IIT Kharagpur as a Mechanical engineer in 1989. Arvind Kejriwal was always concerned about corruption and the passivity of the people. After quitting his job with the Tata Steel, he took time off to work with the Missionaries of Charity and the Ramakrishna Mission in eastern and northeastern India. He was also instrumental in spreading awareness about the passing of the Right to Information (RTI) act.

In the ongoing movement for Jan Lokpal, Arvind is considered a key figure along with Anna Hazare. People who work with him sings songs in the praise of his intelligence, which, they say, is “razor-sharp”.

Awards and Honours:

2004: Ashoka Fellow, Civic Engagement.

2005: 'Satyendra Dubey Memorial Award', IIT Kanpur for his campaign for bringing transparency in Government.

2006: Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership.

Bhushan was an active member of the Congress (O) party (different from the Indian National Congress) and later the Janata Party. He was a member of the Rajya Sabha from 14 July 1977 to 2 April 1980 and the Union Law minister in the Morarji Desai ministry from 1977 to 1979. He joined the Bhartiya Janata Party in 1980.

10 Most Corrupt Indian Politicians

************************************

Courtesy: yahoo.com
************************************

While everyone has been animatedly supportingAnna Hazare's fight against corruption, people seem to have forgotten who the people are who actually led to this situation.

The peak of irony was when Anna was, allegedly, lodged in the same jail that housed the people who were responsible for two of the biggest scams in the country ever. How must the authorities have felt when they saw Raja and Kalmadi fill their plates while Anna was on a fast because of their misdeeds?

Corruption has become an unavoidable part of politics and every now and then, one or the other politician re-affirms this fact.

Here is our pick of the 10 most corrupt politicians of India.

************************************************************************

Suresh Kalmadi

Suresh Kalmadi, almost single handedly caused a loss of hundreds of crores of rupees to the country. The Commonwealth Games, organized by Kalmadi was no less than a loot with numerous reports of the magnum opus event being soaked in corruption making headlines way before the Games had even started. Apparently, out of Rs. 70000 crores spent on the Games, only half of the amount was actually spent. Owing to his involvement in the scam, Kalmadi was charged with corruption and sent to Tihar jail.

************************************************************************

A. Raja

A scam worth Rs. 176,000 crore had former Union Cabinet Minister for Communications and Information Technology, Andimuthu Raja at the centre. A. Raja as he is generally called, was the prime accused in the 2G spectrum scam, which was the largest that the country had seen in a long time. Following the shocking exposure, Raja was indicted and forced to resign. Presently, he is too has been lodged at the Tihar jail and is awaiting his trial.

************************************************************************

Mayawati

Mayawati has always been criticized for ostentatious display of power in her state. She has allegedly used her status as chief minister to amass large amounts of personal wealth. She was charged with corruption when the Taj Heritage Corridor Case was uncovered. Mayawati's birthdays have always been media events, where she usually appears decked in diamond jewellery and also accepts public donations for which, she often comes under fire. Her assets are worth millions of dollars and in the year 2007-08, she had paid an income tax of Rs. 26 crores, which placed her amongst the top 20 taxpayers of the year.

************************************************************************

Lalu Prasad Yadav

The fact that Lalu Prasad Yadav has been an accused in 63-odd cases serves for the fact that Lalu stands as one of the strongest competitor in the list. The biggest scam that rocked Lalu's political career was the fodder scam which involved the embezzlement of Rs. 950 crore approximately. The accusation of nepotism against him has come up time and again but hardly any action has been taken against him owing to his 'connections' in the government.

************************************************************************

Madhu Koda

Former Jharkand Chief Minister, and only the third independent legislator to assume the office of chief minister in India, Madhu Koda was responsible for a scam worth over Rs. 4000 crore. The man exploited the state's natural resources by licensing illegal mining leases and stashing away the wealth amassed during the undertaking. Furthermore, the Maoists received a 30% share of the booty. Koda was arrested on charges of money laundering and is still in prison following the rejection of numerous bail applications.

************************************************************************

Mulayam Singh Yadav

Mulayam Singh Yadav is also known as one of the most corrupt ministers in the country despite not being directly involved in any major scams. Apart from his name being involved in appointments of tainted officers and mishandling of his power as chief minister, Mulayam Singh had one major allegation levelled against him– accumulation of disproportionate assets. The case drew limelight on his sons and daughter-in-law as they too were holders of the assests that amounted to crores of rupees.

************************************************************************

Karunanidhi

The corruptions charges against M. Karunanidhi are so many that he is often referred to as the king or emperor of corruption. He was accused of lending support to the LTTE and was indicted for abetting the LTTE in the interim report which oversaw the investigation into Rajiv Gandhi's assassination.

Karunanidhi reportedly institutionalized corruption in the South. He was a leading player in the cash for votes scams that are common in the southern region, as well as notorious foe extreme nepotism shown under his rule. Not so surprising, is the fact that the main accused in the 2G scam, A, Raja, considers him to be his mentor.

************************************************************************

Sharad Pawar

Very few people can miss the cosy relationship that Sharad Pawar shares with power and money.Every now and then, Pawar draws flak for alleged investments made by him and his family in various illegal projects. He was named by Abdul Karim Telgi, during a narcoanalysis test, stating that it was Pawar's brainchild to print fake stamp papers across the country and mint money. He was also accused in a multi-crore scam involving wheat imports and institutions headed by him and his close associates were served notices by the Bombay High Court for showing favoritism to his family.

************************************************************************

Jayalalithaa

The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu has a staggering 46 corruption cases against her. Amongst the various scams were the Rs. 70 million coal import scam, Tansi land deal case, case of disproportionate assets and colour TV case, amongst many others. A raid in her residence and business establishments led to the seizure of some 28 kg of jewellery (worth Rs 51 crore), 91 wrist-watches, 41 air-conditioners, 10,500 sarees, 750 pairs of footwears, etc. She along with her former cabinet colleagues and senior bureaucrats who worked with her are still facing investigation with regard to corruption.

************************************************************************

BS Yeddyurappa

The most recent politician http://www.mensxp.com/special-features/top-10/5458-meet-the-top-10-young-politicians-of-india.html to be caught in the web of corruption is former Chief Minister of Karnataka, B. S. Yeddyurappa. While he has a number of corruption lying against him, the one that toppled his career was his alleged involvement in the illegal iron ore export scam in districts of Karnataka. A lot of blame game followed and ended up with Yeddyurappa losing his ministerial post last month. Despite his denial, his image as one of the most corrupt politicians of the country will not fade anytime soon.

The woman in your life

The woman in your life...very well expressed...

Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry with these facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;

Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family name

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, may be more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this...

Koi Deewana Kehta Hai Koi Pagal Samajhta Hai.....

Koi Deewana Kehta Hai Koi Pagal Samajhta Hai
Magar Dharti Ki Bechani Ko Bus Badal Samajhta Hai
Mein Tujhse Door Kaisa Hoon, Tu Mujhse Door Kaisi Hai
Ye Tera Dil Samajhta Hai Ya Mera Dil Samajhta Hai

K Mohhabat Ek Ehsason Ki Pavan Si Kahani Hai
Kabhi Kabira Deewana Tha Kabhi Meera Deewani Hai
Yahan Sab Log Kehte Hain Meri Aakhon Mein Aansu Hai
Jo Tu Samjhe To Moti Hai Jo Na Samjhe To Pani Hai

Samander Peer Ka Aander Hai Lekin Ro Nahi Sakta
Ye Aansu Pyar Ka Moti Hai Isko Kho Nahi Sakta
Meri Chahata Ko Dulhan Tu Bana Lena Magar Sun Le
Jo Mera Ho Nahi Paya Wo Tera Ho Nahi Sakta

Bhramar Koi Kumudani Par Machal Baitha To Hungama
Hamare Dil Mein Koi Khawab Pal Baitha To Hungama
Aabhi Tak Doob Kar Sunte The Sab Kissa Mohhabat Ka
Mein Kisse Ko Hakikat Mein Badal Baitha To Hungama

What Your Old Friend Needs From You??

Hi All,

How are you? Where are you?

I am fine doing well.

I would like to make it out one thing that:
We were friends!!! Oops!!! Are friends but were good friends in our college days or few days before. But what it is now?

Do we really know what others are doing right now? I mean to say do you know what and how your other friend is?

To be frank:

• I really don’t know any thing about you right now
• How are you? Where are you? What you are doing? :(

What we are doing; we try to avoid writing few lines to our friends. But we are not doing that we are loosing one of the friend who was one of the good friend in old days.

We meet lot of people in our day to day life. Out of which we make friendship with few of them. Friendship can be for an hour in any journey; for a day in any function; for a week in any training; for few months when we are in that city or company but only few friendships we keep for many years. Rest all get fade out in the careless ignorance of not contacting each other.


I will give you a simple example that I saw this week:
On Monday 25th Feb I was in Amt at home. Me and my mom went to gajanan Mandir to listen to “Kirtan” (A spiritual Speech) (quite strange me and listening KIRTAN) Sorry I went their because of LOAD SHEDING ;)

Me and my mom were sitting and enjoying the words of that person. A lady was sitting behind my mom with her Grand daughter. After 20 -30 mins my mom just looked at her. My Mom was quite surprised. She again & again turned back and looked at that lady.
I asked her “what are looking mom?”.
My Mom said “Don’t know but it seems to be that I know that lady”. But then my mom ignored that.

After some time we went to donate the money for prasad at donation counter. The same lady with her grand daughter was standing in front of us. She asked the person to make a receipt of Rs 151 in the Name of Mrs. Vimal Pachkawade.

My Mom suddenly burst into happiness and asked that woman “Excuse me, Are you Vimal from Bhatkuli (Name of My mom’s birth place)”?
She said “yes, but sorry I didn’t recollect you?”
Then my mom replied “Hey Dear I am your best friend in school days?”
She asked “Who”??
Mom said “PUSHPA?”

Then they both kept that KIRTAN aside and started talking about themselves. Their past memories and present life. I was realy getting bored by their talk but I think it was the great moment of their life to see their Best friend after so many years that too in a surprising way.

That was just an example I came across. But my moto was about the friendship that we make in these days. That’s what I want to say we make many friends in our life and the list of friends keep on changing year by year. Changes as we change our class (level of education); City by city; company by company; Due to busy education; workload, company change job location changes; family location change.

So what is our Good/Best friend need from us? It is Only 10 mins from 131040 Mins..

So I think we should take out at least 10 mins from the span of 3 months i.e 91 days i.e 2184 hours i.e. 131040 mins for at least one friend. Who was your good friend once upon a time and you have not contacted him from a long period. What else we need to keep in touch with our good/best friends.

Just 10 mins out of 131040 mins for your good/best friend once upon a time. If you are not able to take it out then do you think you were having good friendship with him?

I think we just need 2 mins to ask in mail? Hi how are you? How you are doing?

And 2 mins to reply I am fine doing well so and so...

Still we don’t ask or don’t reply... might be because you have other good friends right now but why you are forgetting the days that you have spent with that friendJ

So your good friend just needs your 10 mins from the time of 131040 mins. I think we never thought about that ever. So think over it and implement it in your life.

Thinking will not solve the problem implementation is what needed.

I hope the BIGGG mail might be boring for you!! But I had written it for the sake of my Good friends. I know I have ignored them many times due to laziness and they have also ignored me. But I have taken a initiative to keep in touch with my friends. If you feel so you can also start it from today.
