Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Dialogues by Dr P Pradeep Anaesthesiologist...

Live and Let Live...!

 Yes, despite the scams, corruption, unemployment, bad roads etc, India scored  5.5 in Human Development Report , conducted by UN, which measured " Overall Life Satisfaction! " Indians are generally a happy breed. Even amidst global economic gloom, Indians remained upbeat. Most Indians are God fearing and they are steadfast in their belief that every happening in their life is decided by God and their fate. Hence naturally, not withstanding poverty, corruption, bribe, poor infrastructure, we Indians are the happiest bunch of people living on this earth. Our "Happiness Quotient " is always remarkable. We strongly believe that being rich does not increase the happiness quotient. We Indians do have a purpose in life, we believe in : "Jiyo aur Jeene Do"; " Live and Let Live !" 

Chetan Bhagat...

 Banking to writing, and now Chetan Bhagat wants to try his luck behind the camera. Chetan would be working on the screenplay of the movie adaptation of his novel, 2 States, and also will be assisting Vishal Bhardwaj in directing the movie. Chetan's newly foud fondness for film making is not very surprising. He loves to remain in the news : Chetan Bhagat and 3 Idiots controversy is fresh in everyone's mind.Everybody knows that 3 Idiots is just based on Chetan Bhagat's Five Point Someone, but 70 percent of the movie is different. Chetan was also involved with the screenplay of two films adapted from his novels 1. Hello ( One night at the Call Centre ) and 2. Abhishek Kapoor's adaptation of his novel : Three Mistakes of My Life. We only wish Chetan Bhagat, Good Luck for his newly acquired penchant of Film Directing !

Barkha and....

Nobody can deny that in the tapes Nira is heard talking to Vir Sanghvi and Barkha Dutt about the composition of the central Govt ministry, with special reference to the DMK.She requests these two journalists to talk to influential people at the Centre to get particular members of the DMK in the ministry. The two assure they will do the needful. Please sample the conversation again :[1] Theek hai, not a problem, I'll talk to Azad-I'll talk to Azad right after I get out of RCR( Race Course Road,presumably the PM's residence)--Barkha Dutt.
[2] -600 crores! 'It is hard to argue' with that kind of pressure......Basically what they wanted is a little bit of more flexibility. One more cabinet I suppose---Vir Sanghvi. Now, evidently,' it is hard to argue' with such tape as evidence against the two! I would request Karan Thapar and other sympathizers of the duo not to confuse, we Indians, by writing :" Did the journalists really agree to be messengers/lobbyists or were they pretending? It is not unheard of for people to 'Agree' to do something...but not intending to deliver." Sir, such excuses, can not hold water in this prima facie case !!

Dear Khushwant Singh....

 Khushwant Singh's write-up "Let us no longer bicker over temples and mosques" ( with malice towards one and all, October 17 ). The write-up was curiously a contradiction of the heading. Khushwant Singh was bickering over the authenticity of Shri Ram's birthplace Ayodhya. I was really wondering would he dare to doubt similarly  about the birthplace of Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammad ?  He even pooh-poohed the veracity of archeological evidence produced in the court. He seems to be biased against the  Ayodhya verdict, rather than his bias on the side of  "the" Muslims as claimed by him.It was damnably unfair that he should question about the religious beliefs of millions of Hindus regarding the birthplace of Shri Ram. Khushwant Singh's questioning : " Was Shri Ram really  born in Ayodhya ?", can be construed as  blasphemy. Surprisingly, he still strongly believes that Ayodhya verdict is the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of Indians. I would like to remind Mr Khushwant Singh that Ayodhya verdict has already been announced by the Allahabad Court but the Sword has so far not fallen on anybody's head. Yes, I agree fully with him, "Let us no longer bicker over temples and mosques" !! Sir !
