Kashmiri people should understand.. "Bhukhe pet bhajan nahin hota"

Kashmir has been a very hot issue recently. All these stone pelting, human right violations, killing of youths, atrocities by armed forces, all party delegations, demand of azadi, protection of Kashmiriyat have been all over the news.

But before writing anything, I would like to ask few questions....
Why the hell we hear all the bad news from Ghati(Kashmir valley) only? Why is there no problem in Jammu and Laddkah region? (may be because Hurriyat and other such leaders have influence only in valley)
What have they got after this stone pelting and long protests? What Kashmiri people have got after so many years of violence, protests? (only destruction of industry, infrastructure and killing on many innocent people--who don't care whether Kashmir is azad or not, whether Kashmir is in India or in Pakistan, their only concern is to arrange some money for their living ).
If made a independent nation will Kashmir be able to live peacefully considering, it is surrounded by Pakistan and China and its strategic important in any war in south-asia? Will it be able to defend itself if Pakistan or China attacks in future?
What about Jammu and Laddakh region? Do people of Laddakh and Jammu want to be part of any such Kashmiri nation? (I have serious doubts about it, given the situation of Kashmiri pandits and attitude of Kashmiri leaders towards these regions)

I understand that the situation in Kashmir is complex or have been made complex by various involved parties. There have been human right violations by armed forces. But its easy to write flashy articles about human right violations and Azadi . Its easy to discuss Azadi and Kashmiriyat, when you are sitting in AC and have a 30-40K computer with you. (Most of the articles about Kashmiriyat, Azaadi,popular on internet are written by Kashmiris who either are in abroad or in very comfortable parts of India.) Do they really understand the pressure on common people and armed forces present in Kashmir? (I would ask them who are writing such articles what they would do in these situations?)

There are criminal proceedings going on against many officers. Its not like for Kashmiri people that they are living under some British rule. They have all their rights and in some cases, special rights (article 370 and all). They live in India, a democratic country. If there is any problem, that can be solved under this democratic framework. Focus should be on making common people's life better not on making it a hell with protests and killings.

Those who are asking for Kashmir Azadi...what the hell are they thinking? Can Kashmir survive on its own? Does Kashmir have the capacity under these conditions to be sovereign state and maintain diplomatic relationships with other nations? All these Hurriyat conference and Arundhati Roy type of people...do they really care about Kashmiri people? The situation is much much better in Indian Kashmir than the so called Azad Kashmir (pakistan occupied Kashmir). I would like to ask to the so called Kashmiri leaders.. do they really represent the whole Kashmir? They don't have any support in Jammu and Laddakh region. They just want to create controversies and use this for their personal benefits. They have their children studying in abroad and they try to close schools and colleges in Kashmir.

Human right violations are black spots in any democratic framework. The perpetrators should be punished severely. But considering the pressure on armed forces, terrorism and situations in Kashmir...this can not be base for Azadi. China and Pakistan will never let the Azad Kashmir survive peacefully.
Those who talk about KASHMIRIYAT.... where was your kashmiriyat when kashmiri pandits where displacesd? Why no one talks about their problems? (because it wont give them publicity and media attentions)

Indian government should really do something for betterment of Kashmir people at ground level. Big economic packages are not going to help the state. The influence of these pseudo Kashmiri leaders and intellectuals should be eradicated. Common Kashmiri should be informed about their truths, so that they can not misguide people to carry on their selfish activities.

Some people think that they can fulfill the Maharaja Hari Singh's vision of making Kashmir a neutral state like Switzerland. In 1947, when conditions were favorable, it couldn't be made possible, then I think every sane person understands that this is like daydreaming now. As a person who is interested in history and love to read about it, I personally would have preferred this situation- Kashmir.... a neutral state between India and Pakistan, Paradise on earth. But thats not the situation. What is done in the history, is done. Our only way should be forward, betterment of common people's lives. We haven't invented time machine yet, where we can go back in past and change history.

There is saying in Hindi... "Bhukhe pet bhajan nahin hota"...so without any economic development, to talk about azadi is useless and foolish. All these people who are protesting for Azadi...should understand the truth and work towards progress of Kashmir. Because of their protests, the booming tourism industry is in disarray for again. All schools and colleges are closed. Who are they hurting?... Kashmiri people....the common Kashmiri people.

After all these protests,even if they get Afganistan type azadi, of what use will it be? ( that too, only by a handful of selfish people who uses this as their instrument, is wanted )

you and i in this beautiful world - I

You and i in this beautiful world,
You and i in this beautiful world,
green grass....blue sky in this beautiful world.

Whenever I heard this jingle, I always imagined myself traveling in some hilly region without any destination, alone, seeing-exploring each scenery, feeling everything that can be felt....

But the question is... "Is the world around us so beautiful where you can live happily... beautifully?? "

I will say it all depends on our choices. What we chose to think,to do makes us happy or unhappy. We may complain about opportunities, facilities, conditions... which may be true for some situations, but in the end it is our choices which make the world around us as we feel it. Conditions may be bad, facilities may not be found, opportunities may be lost but there is always a way to make you happy, to make this world beautiful.
So like me, don't imagine a beautiful world in living alone in some hilly region or leaving everything to explore something new. I am pretty sure there are many things in our day to day life which are worth exploring, enjoying. Actually these small-small things have the power to make our world beautiful, happy. Search for these things and make this world beautiful.

Why is SINGLE there???


When we click on someone's name or picture on orkut to see his/her profile, we find that some very important information related to that person are shown below his/her picture...1.) Name 2.) Gender 3.) City 4.) Country and there is one more 5.) relationship status. Now consider that Orkut and sites like this are called social networking sites. So Orkut thinks that these five things are most important(that's why they have been highlighted below your picture) to know by someone about you when you are going to make contact with someone online.
Now keeping in mind that Orkut is a social networking site, lets think about these five most important(as Orkut thinks) bits of information. I suppose we all agree that name is really most important thing about any person to be known by others who are socially active even in the least possible degree. So I think the place of name below the profile pic is justified. Even then I don't understand why people write some fancy names and leave others in a mental state where they struggle hard and use all online resources to figure out about the identity of the person.
Now if we consider the city and country, we can say that their place is also justified because we all want to know about the place of the person with whom we are making contact online. After that comes the Gender of the concerned person. I think it's very natural for us to have curiosity about the gender as we will decide our way of communication in that way. As we Indians try to use a very formal language with females, it helps. With this it also helps us in deciding the way we put our PJs during chats.
I think out of those five highlighted things, I have been able to justify the place of four. But what surprises me is the presence of relationship status. Why is that needed there? There can be many other important information that can be highlighted, like profession. But why Relationship Status?




Everyone can explain this in their own way. I will not impose my explanation to you. But put your explanation in comments. I think it will be interesting to see how it is explained by junta....
