Moral Police.................

From past few months, I am constantly reading newspaper as it's my habit and moreover it helps me in killing the time (not waste but kill) during office hours. Sometimes, I find it diificult to read few section of newspaper cause it has same content, only the name and location changes, or follow up of some old news. One such news which publishes almost every week without fail is about Honour Killing and the follow up of the cases related to it.

"Today one more couple was beaten to death for marrying outside their Gotra and caste by so called Khap Panchayat."

"The prime accused in the Honour Killing case, ________, was arrested last night in a remote location outside blah blah city."

And a full page dedicated to it. Comments of the relatives, governmennt, police and the accused.

In our country where people believe in GOD more than themselves, I wonder what compels them to take extreme action like killing someone in the name of honour? Or is it the characters of Krishna from Gita and Ram from Ramayan which influence them to take justice in their own hands? Do they believe that they are erasing evil and acting on behalf of GOD himself?

I don't believe in GOD, but I am sure HE is preparing for HIS avatar, if there is one.


Till then, I got a advice to all Moral Police out there "Start doing good work or you will die in hell".



Sub:- Letter from the Desk of Dev-Lok

To KHAP PANCHAYAT,

Respected Sir/Madam,

With all due respect, I would like to bring the case of Mr.Ravaan and Mr.Kansh (Krishna's Maternal Uncle) to your notice. In the start of their reign, they too forced their will and power over the common people and tried to be their GOD. But as you know, their name has gone down to the pages of histroy as Evil's Son and people hate them like anything.

So I request you all, to stop your terror of so called Honour Killing or you too will be faced with same consequences.

Truly Yours'
Name Not Specified.

What's up with HRs......................

Today one of my colleauge bid goodbye to Wipro Technologies. That brings the question, Why?

Why a person working for a reputed company files his/her resignation and switch to other company?

Well, there could be numerous reasons for doing so cause it takes a lot of planning and time to arrive at such a situation. Generally, people resign and switch to get a good salary hike. It's been observed that switching from one company to other gets you a hike of almost 30% (in general). Thats what we call standard market hike.

It's also been seen that when a person files his/her resignation, the HR of the company calls and ask for the reason. If it's known that the person is good at skills, he/she will be offered hike in salary and perks as the other company he/she is going to join have agreed to.

Moreover, it's also a known fact that most of the companies doesn't have any structure when it comes to salary of employees. A person coming from other company will be offered more salary than the one already working in the company having same level of experience. That bags the question of why not having a salary structure model in terms of experience? A person had spent few years of his/her life at your company and instead of giving him/her dues, companies hire someone from outside at much higher package. And then complain about the attrition rate.

To HR,

I request you guys out there to look into this matter with serious attitude. When a person leaves an organization, he/she takes the knowledge and experience of work culture with him/her. It's not the loss of the person leaving the organization, but the loss of organization if someone competent leave.

Sincerely Yours'

Was Bharat Bandh Justified?

Bharat Bandh. We don't hear this word most often but every other year or so, sure. There had been numerous occassion when Bharat Bandh has been called for. Reasons vary time to time but motive same, Protest.

Protest against Inflation, rising Fuel cost etc etc.......

My personal view is that the fuel hike is justified. I am not going to explain Why though. And I am not accountable to do the same.

The Question here is Was the Bharat Bandh Justified?

I don't think so. It was totally uncalled for. The oppostion wanted something to create an uproar and they got one. They blew it out of proportion just to gain a soft corner in the heart of Common Man. I think they too would have done the same if they were ruling the Country. Fuel price hike was always round the corner. Doesn't matter how much effort is wasted in burying it, one day it had to surface. I really appreciate that UPA government had taken the bold step then avoiding the unavoidable.

From past 3 days every newspaper is taking about the hike and it's consequences on Common Man. But I really want to know how many cared about it, apart from oppositon and their goons. Common man was seen sitting at home, watching TV, enjoying the time being with family. Few were crying cause they can't do anything else. Taking vehicle out for a spin was out of question. Only option was to sit at home. What else a common man is supposed to do, right?

Here in Bangalore, where the tax on fuel is more, people are voicing to cut down the tax to decrease the effect of fuel hike on common man's pocket. CM said a big NO to it cause majority of government fund is generated through taxes only. The same is spent for the upliftment of the city and suburbs, though only a part. Everyone dreams about living in USA where streets are clean, medical facility are better, life insurance is good, overall better than India in terms of living standard. But how many knows that one has to pay flat 30% tax on each penny earned in USA and the government does not provide any kind of subsidy in fuel. In India we have slab system for tax, government still provides subsidy in petrol, diesel and LPG. But all we know is to crib about everything. Oh! government has increased the fuel prices, now how am I gonna survive. But We don't cut down in our other expenses. If the rates of Jeans and T-Shirts increases, thats OK with Us cause those are imported goods and have brand Values. Spare Jeans, but I can gurantee you that you can have a pair of Shirts/Blouse or Pants/Skirts for lesser money and much better in quality and fitting, if get it stitched from a tailor. But No, that is out of question. That is not a well known Brand, That is not Imported material. But in case of petrol, we start crying. Don't anyone see that a major part of fuel consumption is imported from other country.

Alright, leave all that. Coming again to Bandh, I want to get your attention towards the loss of Business it caused. Business worth Million of Crores was put to hold. Damages to public property due to agitation was there. Who is gonna account for all this?

The question will always be there without any answer.

Do we really need these Bandhs? If not then why not protest against the Bandh?

The ball is your court Common Man. Decide.........

Songs that I can listen to..............ANYTIME

Shikayat hai - Jism


Shikayat Hai Shikayat Hai Shikayat Hai
Mujhko Dil Se Yehi Shikayat Hai Shikayat Hai
Mujhko Dil Se Yehi Shikayat Hai Shikayat Hai
Jo Usko Mil Nahi Sakta
Jo Usko Mil Nahi Sakta Kya Uski Chaahat Hai
Mujhko Dil Se Yehi Shikayat Hai Shikayat Hai


Tukdo Tukdo Mein Mujhse
Roz Milne Wale Sun
Jab Mukammal Nahin Milna
To Koi Khwaab Na Bun
Tanha Tanha Hoon Mein
Mujhe Teri Zaroorat Hai
Mujhko Dil Se Yehi Shikayat Hai Shikayat Hai


Yeh Teri Zulfein Teri Aankhen
Uff Yeh Tera Pair Hai
Aur Khushboo Se Mehekta Hua
Yeh Gora Sa Badan
Jaanta Hoon Mein Lekin
Kisi Gair Ki Amanat Hai
Mujhko Dil Se Yehi Shikayat Hai Shikayat Hai


Bin Tere Mujhko Zindagi Se
Khauff Lagta Hai
Kishto Kishto Mein Mar Raha Hoon
Roz Lagta Hai
Is Liye Mujhko Apni
Zindagi Se Nafrat Hai
Mujhko Dil Se Yehi Shikayat Hai Shikayat Hai
Shikayat Hai Shikayat Hai Shikayat Hai





Maine Dil Se Kaha - Rog


Maine Dil se Kaha Dhoondh Lana Khusi
Na Samajh Laya Gam, Toh Ye Gam Hi Sahin,
Maine Dil se Kaha Dhoondh Lana Khusi
Na Samajh Laya Gam, Toh Ye Gam Hi Sahin,
Maine Dil Se Kaha................


Deewana Kaha Jaanta Hai, Khalish Hai Ye Kya Khala Hai
Saher Bhar Ki Khusi Se, Ye Dard Mera Pala Hai,
Jashn Ye Raas Na Aaye,
Maza Toh Bas Gam Mein Aaya hai.........
Maine Dil se Kaha Dhoondh Lana Khusi
Na Samajh Laya Gam, Toh Ye Gam Hi Sahin,


Kabhi Hai Ishq Ka Ujala, Kahin Hai Maut Ka Andhera,
Batao Kaun Bhes Hoga, Main Jogi Banu Ya Lootera,
Kai Chehre Hai Is Dil Ke,
Na Jaane Kaun Sa Mera............
Maine Dil se Kaha Dhoondh Lana Khusi
Na Samajh Laya Gam, Toh Ye Gam Hi Sahin,


Haazaro Aise Raaste The, Jo Tay Karne Chale The,
Rahein Magar Chal Padi Thi, Aur Peeche Hum Reh Gaye The,
Kadam Do Char Chal Paye,
Gire The Tere Dar Pe.............
Maine Dil se Kaha Dhoondh Lana Khusi
Na Samajh Laya Gam, Toh Ye Gam Hi Sahin,
