The Muggle Traffic :-)

How I wish We were not muggles but were of magical blood and knew few magical tricks like flying on the broom, using floo powder to travel or learn apparition etc etc to travel from one place to another rather than using these heavy vehicles which leave jets of smoke and spoil the green earth. For those who are pure muggles (NON magical folks) and those who never read harrypotter flying, flooo powder are all the techniques in harry potter which magicians use to travel from one place to another. Atleast a flying car a motorbike with wings will do. But alas these fastest easiest and pollution free magical techniques are just fantasies ...Its not medieval age either to have chariots driven by horses or use animal transport which is pollution free and deadly slow. In this quick and fast modes of life to have pollution and traffic free travels..few techniques which came to my mind..rather few amendments to the actually existing techniques are like below

Staying in Hyderabad i daily witness the terrific traffic jam in many areas. Especially when it rains you can see torrents of water running through gutters resembling a river with high currents !i was stuck in a traffic recently from 8 PM to 11 PM in night which is actually a 45min long drive. TRAFFIC JAM is the biggest challenge in most of the cities in india. Neither the fly overs nor the traffic police are able to resolve it and they are not able to control the people who never bother to follow traffic rules. Few measures which can reduce the over flowing traffic are like below. Some can be implemented as pollution preventing green initiatives ...and Some have just come as a thought to my crazy TRAFFIC BOTHERED brain so please bear with it

· First and foremost idea is car pooling or car sharing. This actually is not an innovating technology or amendment to the existing but i just wanna state it here as its a great initiative started by many folks here in the city. Especially its useful when many start in a company simultaneously. Instead of a single person driving an individual car if 4-5 people travel in the same car, the traffic jam and the pollution level can be immensely reduced and if there is a jam it would be interesting to have a neighbour rather than having long mobile convo while driving which may again lead to a fine of some 500/-

·

A cable car or a rope car usage in which the journey is actually with the help of Ariel from one place to another. Cable cars are used in countries like Italy and places like Singapore also as a major transport . Well the cost of maintenance and the arrangement of harbours for this means of transport is definitely a herculean task in countries like india. I don’t know the feasibility of the implementation of this idea but i definitely feel it can reduce the traffic and pollution too

·

and now this very option is for the Rich CEOS of india who actually own a charter flight and use the same every time they travel in the city..like our mukesh ambani. People who can afford to buy helicopters or travelling in them can actually use them trying to reduce the traffic down on the roads :) Air traffic is not a major problem till date. We never know how it will be if the usage increases!!

Sub- ways : i always feel sub ways can help a lot along with fly overs in diverting and controlling the traffic.If there is a possibility of constructing as many sub ways (underground roads) as there are fly overs then we can divert and control traffic to some extent. The subways should atleast be there connecting the HEAVY TRAFFIC prone areas of the city where atleast heavy vehicles can divert and save the jam

·

Metro rail is already started in india in places like delhi. I hope many more metro rails come in operation even in places like hyd and a hard and fast rule should be started that on so and so road (where there are frequent jams) public should use the rail to reach their destination but not their own vehicles or bikes. I hope it cant be implemented over night but hoping to see such rule to be followed by atleast 50% of population who care about mother earth!

· There is one more crazy idea which i got actually after watching a vedio on You tube which am sharing here with you . How cool it will be if some one has to do a water slide just to jump in to the swimming pool at their home just like in the vedio below using a long pipe line ;). A slide filled with fun which will even burn your calories which other wise you wont do in your mundane day long stationary job where physical movement is 0. I loved this craziest idea but for implementing it you first need to have a rich home with a swimming pool :-)so its a open question if this can actually happen :P :P!! Njoy the vedio below frnds!

And the crazy ideas like flying motor bikes , brooms or flying carpets and travelling through chimneys go on in my head when ever am stuck in traffic jam and when ever I see 3-4 fat innovas Fighting to overtake in the midst of heavy traffic

Hoping to see atleast one feasible idea to be implemented like the rope cars or sub ways and traffic is controlled and inturn the pollution and greenery is retained on earth !!

The Final Destination!!

-->

Whenever LIFE brings me near to you,

I can always see my Dreams come true!

The journey of heart is filled with fragrance,

The heart jumps with joy and my soul wants to Dance!!

Your voice makes the time fly so soon!

The earth seems to be better than the skies and the Moon!!

Thy memories make me glad and also sad,

Lost in thoughts I go Mad!

I wake up in the mid of the night,

There’s no one to share all this plight!!

Every moment now the same thought troubles me!

Is all this temporary the LOVE, Joy and the glee?

With this fear in my heart I ran far from you in to a void!

What all I was left with was Me a more Paranoid!

With these rippling thoughts in my mind one day my fear overpowered,

The fragrance melt and the blossom withered!

Piercing my eyes are the dreams shattered.

“Oh Dear Life! Is this the final destination?”

Why should every relation end in Separation?

Can anyone crack the mysterious puzzle of love?

There’s a saying “You reap what you sow!”

Love is an exception You sow and it doesn’t Last!!

Why should my words always refer to the past?

“Your voice once MADE the time fly so soon!

The earth SEEMED to be better than the skies and the Moon!!”

Tum sa na hoga koi---Aisha:-)

Tum Ho kamaal tum bemisaal tum laajawaab ho aisha ............;)

Aisha was the most sensitive yet tough girl in the class..Keeping things to her self not mingling with many. She had a very small circle of friends...with whom she used to share only few things...We can say her life was routine and monotonous .Morning 8:30 Breakfast, then classes..Lunch break...then back to hostel....there were one or two good friends with whom she used to spend time...She wanted to have a large circle of friends..like few had in her college..a Fun TO BE WITH group with whom she can go out...do loads of shopping..watch movies..plan trips!!but ya she was so shy and so reserved that she never entered a Fundoo—jolly group....Getting high grades..presenting papers....being part of work shops, seminars,,,was her routine.. when Fun with friends comes to picture...she was a step behind every one...dont know what used to pull her back :-o?! People used to get inspired by her...some used to praise her infront of every one...Only her ears went red and she used to blush pink ..Never was she able to thank any of them properly or show any sort of reaction. She was particularly NOT SO INTERESTED towards boys...well most of them ended up being flirts!! She believed....Interacting with them is not that needed! It will hamper her future...so she was happy in her small little world...But some rogues who were back seated always in the class and looked almost like rowdies were not so happy looking at her grades , success and she being so famous..They used to boo or laugh when ever she went on to dais for a seminar..or some vote of thanks speech..she never flinched. She was confident and good at speeches ! One day there was a Rose day in college....Every one brought the roses of different colors they favoured Some brought white for friendship...some yellow ..some red expressing love to their fav girls and facing rejections :P so on so forth!! Aisha never understood those colors and felt all this was silly !Some boys favoured aisha’s company but never dared to express any thing with a girl who shudders at a simple conversation...so they stayed indifferent. Aisha’s good friends Reema and sujata were absent that day.. She started feeling little wierd.It being the last day of the week..all were in light mood and entire afternoon they were enjoying playing different games antyakshari..dumb-c, truth or dare...what not!! Aisha started getting bored..she was desperate for a good company now!she managed playing but it was deprived of fun! Seeing all the pairs and few large friend groups... first time in her btech tenure she was feeling the urge to enter in a group or be a friend with a boy who can make her laugh through out...:-/ She felt strange why such a sudden desire......With lost thoughts she went to internet cafe in college to catch up with some of her old friends (though she lost touch with many). .The worst happened then... One of the same rogues who were not so happy with her wrote a horrible mail from a bogus id badboy@yahoo.co.uk . She opened wondering. What it might be having...It went on like this “Miss aisha...What do you think about your self...Some princess from heaven _#@)#@_#(_@ (beep ---it can be censored)....You never talk to any of the boys ...R u just very )@(#_@#_@ (beep)..........U will taste the mud..if we want....$)#()@)#@)@ (so many beeps) “ controlling her overflowing tears... She logged off and came back to hostel..she was crying all night.. she shared her plight with Reema in phone and divya in hostel who was her only hostel buddy !! she was wondering what did she do to get such a mail...Her whole semester was spoiled..she went to principal and complained on the whole rogue group as she was not sure who exactly did it !! the whole lot were suspended for 5days..but she was sure it was Govind the one who loathed her the most and he was shivering a lot when called to princie’s room!

So her hatred towards boys increased much more and her eagerness towards increasing the circumference of her circle of friends died ! but the other good lot of boys were angry on this act and were compassionate and liked her much more than before. Then one fine day she got a mail from another bogus id ...shivam.20@yahoo.co.in She wanted to delete..but no one actually can do that..so she opened and read and found out that the person wants to be her friend ...blah blah ..the routine mails which we get from unknowns..she sent the mail to TRASH. After a week again 2—3 mails ...few fwd mails with nice messages..again requesting her to be his friend...saying he already knows her..revealing her interests , fav color , book so on.. Surprised aisha still not so eager replied.. "I hate these online FRIENDSHIPS and wish to stay away from them..I wish you good luck with others and good bye". But shivam never failed trying..he kept on sending nice mails , messages , shahrukh khan posters which impressed aisha as to how he kept track of what all she liked :-o ....she was unable to track who it was.....slowly she got used to mails..she went every Sunday to net ...just to check his mails..and have long long conversations...soon she some how felt the Void she was facing in her Btech life got filled.............

She used to express her thoughts ambitions ..desires..her problems in class..even revealed about the bad boy! In no time they got very close...she was going for a 3month summer training to bangalore ...where she may have less access to Net! She informed the same to Shivam...and was missing him...The training helped her gain more new friends...few from girls ..few from Good lot of boys !:) Soon she raghu , Bhanu , manoj , ritika and vasu became a good fundoo batch..

she felt now her life is full of fun .Raghu was more close to her..concerned a lot about her..she also felt good about him !one day he asked aisha “Do u have any online friends ? “ then she remembered she almost forgot about shivam...With a perplexed face she replied “Yaaa! But why you suddenly asked “...He said “well i know shivam “ Aisha had butterflies in stomach..she asked who is it with anger in voice...Raghu said “my god! Don’t become red hot now .He is a nice person..i know him.."but aisha left the room as she was little irritated by the fact!..Then by next day Raghu said “Aisha! Dont know how you will feel about this..but Shivam is me...i had no guts to talk face to face with U ..that too after u had had a bad experience with some boy in the class..but at any cost wanted to be your friend so this step ..please don’t mind “

Aisha : “ I hate people who disguise wanting to be friends. I don’t like U! You are a bluff master...U didn’t reveal your true stuff! And i revealed every thing honestly !!”:(

Shivam : “but i was your friend yaar.. i was about to reveal and we came to training here..thought this is the right moment to strike “

Aisha : "Whatever i don’t want to talk to U!!

Shivam : Plz ...dont do this..i sent so many things you like na..even SRK posters

Aisha : AARGH!@)(#@(#)@ just go away..am not interested in talking to you

For next one week .....aisha was not in talking terms with raghu uraf shivam. ..Then she cooled down..but was not able to bond properly with him !HE gave friendship band which she reluctantly kept in her bag...yes aisha takes lot of time to get back to her self..or chill..The Final day of college came...By that time every one knew She spoke to raghu only coz he became shivam and he is just very very eager to bond with aisha. She felt some emptiness in her heart ..as she realised Its last day and they will never meet again.. she remembered how she didn’t answer all his calls...showed disinterest in his favours ! she was lot adamant ! but now she felt she was at loss ! ....Adding to the drama raghu was missing..he already left for his home town for some personal work ...and they couldn’t even meet after that as he left immediately after exams. and left to US a month after that...Ego ruled for a while .No one called each other. Being very new to orkut/FB .. which already started ruling peoples relations...she couldnt trace him there either !!!She felt its over-->their relation..she got busy with her job ! and almost forgot about raghu! Then nearly after a year and half she got a call from US!! Oh My Gawd! it was shivam...still the same..still full of life....1 and ½ year time was more than enough to chill out and forget about whatever it was... his disguise and those mails..it actually felt funny now :-) :-) They bonded up again...They never missed exchanging news, their happenings in life....It feels great to meet raghu uraf shivam and even other buddies in the group .... laugh Loud and share the olden—golden times even if it is yearly or rarely :)

penned down this one unforgettable thing in her diary and so she gained a good circle of friends at last though not a huge circle but a close knitted one.....Number of friends you make is always not important..But with whom you want to be friends is important !!and its better not to back off when one takes the first step ! and try taking first step too :-)

Time makes Memories slip away FROM MIND! but some memories MAKE TIME SLIP Away !! Those make LIFE "THE SWEETEST":-)

We are born to a Mom dad and we never choose our siblings...but god gave us a great chance to choose

friends !! so choose the BEST FOR U and rock on............

Special wish to all : One day a crab was running on sea shore !! A wave came and cleared footprints of crab, crab : "Being my friend Y r u clearing my beautiful foot prints ?!" wave replied : "A fox was following Ur footprints to catch u!! so i had to clear them off !" Friendship

means caring beyond imagination ♥ ♥ ♥ HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY ♥ ♥ ♥ to one and all

BREAKING NEWS!!---BREAK YOUR HEAD AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

BREAKING NEWS :::::BE IT A 24*7 NEWS/ A REALITY SHOW OR A DIALY SOAP ::YOU ARE AT YOUR OWN RISK OF BREAKING YOUR HEAD

Media has a large impact on peoples lives. It can make or mar the mind. It has got all freedom which no other person in any profession has got. Media unlike Movies doesn’t have a Solid censor board. It does a sneak peek and grabs a hand ful of news from any where and every where .It has got full rights to shout what ever is not right and if any injustice is happening to some one. Involvement of media can bring revolutions and change people’s life!!But in recent past years the innumerable number of News channels which came to lime light with 24*7 over flowing news are not getting involved in people’s life and helping them but bugging them beyond limits which definitely is misusing the freedom given to them.When the important news dries up media concentrates on trash/crap news of a celeb’s personal life, strife, break up or any thing in which the audience is least interested. At some point the crap creeps so much that the news which has to be in headlines crawls behind the carpet!!!Reality TV/ Soaps cum news shouldn’t definitely be like in the pic below where a hen cooks its own ASS(the best reality show :))!!By watching some channels we even roast our own brains!!!

Below are images of few reality shows which unnecessarily make people emotional and the weddings conducted on Television!!!-----I have no words left to explain how stupid they are... and People like fools tend to watch all of them : ( :(. The raaz pichle janam ka hosted by Ravi kishan made even monika bedi and shekhar suman also to come to studio and weave stories was a big flop and am very thank ful to who ever is behind closing this program.This proves there is some brain left amongst us.

Now coming to NEWS channels you can take for instance AAJ tak news channel which is famous for hoards of BREAKING NEWSwhich is actually crap! Once there was a Breaking news flashing on Aaj Tak.I was watching curiously when a booming voice from behindthe vedio clip shouted Aishwarya Rai bachan neNAzar utaara!! Akhir ye kiske lie ?kab aur kyu? Ye raaz kya hai ? ..and it went on for an amazing 1hr with commercial breaks in between where aish was throwing namak or some ash on to the road which was shooted from a distance ....and was repeatedly telecasted with zoom zip zap ear splitting sounds as if some thing sensational is going on with aish!There was one more news like in below image where Aish 's mood was off during the premiere of RANN...reason being Vivek Oberoi who paid a visit on daddy’s big day! This news showed aish in different mood swings through out the premiere...Parallely there might be other important happening news in the city out there!...........a news definitely much more interesting than the cold war between rai and Roi

But all our media is interested is in aish’s moods swings or shoiabs scandal who recently got wedded to sania mirza a News or rather a dialy serial which went on for many days ....IT became quite a news in hyd being telecasted in all possible telugu channels where even after gettin g serious warnings of not entering Sania's residence reporters still stayed as watch dogs and tried capturing each and every possible scene inside. In the midst of it ayesha’s Fiasco (who was already married to shoiab) which increased the TRP of the program/ News and they didn’t hesitate to show this twist again and again on TV which made people bored to death !Even the news of Sainas Victory was shunned by Sania's wedding!I wish the crap is cut and news is shown in short!!!not like a dialy episode or atleast the number of USELESS news channels have to be cut to half of the present number. Yes we can always chose not to watch the news..But we tend to watch it as we have to keep track of any important change in the country or world!!but how sick it is to always catch a glimpse of sania and shoaib ON ALL CHANNELS in your serious efforts of catching some other news :(

India TV is no less

. It takes the cake. Be it 'aliens gonna abduct Himesh' story .They show it as its all we want!!!!This is 24X7 atyachar and they even argue that they stick to public demands .Check out below images

This can only lead to two conclusions

·Public was always stupid. They are just cashing on it

They make public more stupid day by day, and then they cash in.

Coming to SMS polls.. virtually on every possible / non-possible issue! Will someone's Gastric problem end? Will salman be the best match to kat ?Should Sania wear red or green on her wedding?? Should we continue racking our brains or not? ..... We all rant on rising prices on petrol, vegetables, inflation but what about the cost of SMSes on these reality Draculas? 3 / 5 / 10 Rs worth of one SMS. and we send multiple of those.. everyday! Definitely aimed at making "Ass-M-Ass" out of us!!Do u really think Reality shows are judged as per SMS?!!?and even if Votes make them WIN!!!is it a fair judgement always ??Just use your brain friends !!!!

Recently at Dhonis wedding A renowned News channel made a big story even after the wedding ended showing the debris / clean ups after wedding predicting what might have happened! Its hight time media should realise people might be interested in Dhoni’s highlight cricket match but not highlights of wedding , pros and cons which is predicted by investigations on premises!

Predictions :: media is best at predicting news , taking sides or creating news and making their own judgements at times based on haphazard facts for the sake of TRPS...even if its simple news or some major news which can lead to violent consequences!

Coming to the crime and agitating news media puts full effort in showing the ghastly death images so full of life that people get disturbed at times seeing the cut heads , hands , pools of blood like in some horror movie..and they never miss the close up shots. I wonder how they can go and shoot there firstly! Its medias duty to show the crime news and injustice but when it goes beyond the saturation...people don’t feel like watching the TV for news! When there was 9/11 and WTC was attacked not even a single dead body was shown on US news channels ... I hope We too follow the suit and make news little watchable!

Every one is in deep sorrow on watching such news but no one wants to Turn off the TV out of horror!There are few advantages like Police can catch criminals with the help of media’s proofs .Coming to telangana agitation here in hyd Where many agitated students called out for a strike ,burnt buses. and created havoc were actually not students and not even from Telangana but hired goons!! Which was proved by media’s intervention. I appreciate it a lot ! They are equal to police here saving the state..but I plead media not to show agitating/violent news a lot or cooked up news which is not news at all..............

Media played a key role in catching many criminals using powerful sources like sting operation (the tehelka.com) Just yesterday in news i watched in headlines Today that Saffron Goons attack HT main office coz of some fact of RSS revealed in the news channels! Media has to face this after math many times after it reveals the facts! I appreciate the brave media, but the same media should watch its words!!should put a check point on interfering in lives !

Freedom doesn’t mean you can scan each and every person whenever you like. A person just faced the blast at Nariman’s house (26/11). He escaped death. He all injured was being taken on stretcher and media was questioning him what happened exactly inside? Can he reveal any important details? The person was bandaged and couldn’t speak! And media is expecting answers from him!! The continous telecast of Sex scandals :::: Nityananda /bheemananda swamys and kalki bhagwans news and videos were released first on local tv channels which showed it again and again and again

One joke i heard on radio : A reporter asked a person Prasad : “what is your opinion on swamys like nityananda”

Prasad : “what opinion will i have on him!! He is a cheater like others...but this vedio is even banned on You tube but your channel shows his hot vedios again and again which we actually enjoy! No one can show like that” The reporter says with camera man Raj reporter Srikanth TV007 and ends it then and there !! :-)

Can go on on this but I want to end my perspective here!! :-)

Ø I wish our media pays more attention on important news and less or no attention on news which is not news at all

Ø I wish to pay attention on news rather than going inside my room and reading a nice book

Ø I wish few TV channels don’t take political sides or support a caste or religion or any other damn group

Ø I wish there are less number of news /reality channels. There are already many tv soaps and reality shows which are again judged on News channels

Ø I wish People become more intelligents and protest against population explosion of TV channels. There has to be a limit on number of channels

Ø I wish people become more educated on politics economy..inflation..technology...achievements of our nation so on so forth

Ø I wish the gloomy news ends and even happy news is also shown for a change..for some positivity to imbibe in our nerves and cells. Even APJ kalam once protested that negative and only SAD NEWS is being dumped a lot in our news papers and channels

And finally if such changes happen I wont feel that there would be a need to hold an award ceremony for THE BEST KICK ASS news channel award and situation will not be like below :-) :-)

I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book - Groucho Marx !!!!!
