Badminton Girl with Open Legs ;-)

        I'm an Indian. I know that there are some faults in me which I also know is known to everyone but I have an Indian sentiments because of which I feel bad when those things are spoken in public about me. Every Indian have the same problem of hiding some things just because they are not proper according to our previous generation which may speak in our protest. If a friend asks all his girl friends to wear one piece and come to the party, majority of girl will try to show that it is not their style of dressing and according to them, wearing such cloths is very obscene and impermissible. But you go to their Facebook profile and you will find 200 pictures in their album containing all the pictures in one-piece where legs are in display and the darkness of cleavage is visible. 

              
              Today, I heard that Badminton fraternity has passed a dress code for all the girls playing Badminton to wear mini-skirts. According to media, the fraternity wants to add the flavor of glamor. Mostly, women play badminton and other court games in shorts or tight dresses. This news became a topic of debate on all the news channels and a part of the editor page of all the newspapers. When a law is passed in a certain region that the Burqas will be banned, Muslim extremists over-reacts. Even the Indian Imams starts speaking about the rules and regulations of Islam. They have nothing to do with the region but just because they are of the same religion, they try to show that the Muslim women are disrespected. They just can't keep control on the Muslim girls of India but they have the whole list prepared for talking on the Burqa ban in Japan or France. When our neighbour country Pakistan has Veena Malik who exposes herself at the set of Bigg Boss surrounded by 85 cameras located in Pune, these Muslims advocators can't even ask the girl to stop but they have a big deal with the burqa ban at a place which is 1000s of kilometers away from them. 

                I remember when Sania Mirza was sent a notice by a Muslim group for violating the regulations of Islams by wearing short skirts in court while playing tennis. Sania Mirza didn't even gave a damn to the notice and she continued playing and became a role model for many girls looking sports as their future and passion. In today's world, you take the name of sports and relate it with the girls, the first name which will creep your mind is Sania Mirza. I feel that this is truly a proud moment for all the Muslims to have a World Champion Tennis player from their religion but they feel that she should travel her journey to success without violating the laws of religion. They may be right but Sania Mirza's stardom has washed everyone's doubt.

               Now, as badminton women players are asked to wear short skirts, Indians have started over-reacting to it. They have started boasting about their culture and tradition. Now, they don't remember that even Kamasutra is a part of Indian culture. If Kamasutra can be accepted so widely, what's a big deal if your girls are wearing short skirts. Go on the streets where youngsters roam and hangout and check out the dresses of the girls. You will be shocked to see that 95% of the girls are either showing their upper arms through that sleeveless tops and others showing their legs through that short pants or one-piece. If your Indian culture is so pure and soulful, how are these girls roaming freely on the streets with their skins in display? All the Indians are interested in following western culture but nobody wants to talk about it in public. Nobody dare to speak in public that they are the one who love to practice western culture over Indian culture. 

               News channels showed that people have problem with the new rule of badminton where the girls will have to wear shorts compulsorily. Now, everyone of us know about Saina Nehwal - The Number. 1 Badminton player of this era. Saina Nehwal says that she has no problem with the rule as she is used to play in shorts. Ashwini Ponappa - the girl who rocked the court in Commonwealth games also says that she don't have any problem as she is comfortable in playing with shorts. Another Indian badminton star - Jwala Gutta says that the girls who don't feel comfortable in shorts may face problem but I don't have any. Even, Deepika Padukone has been a state-level badminton champion and I think she would have agreed to play even in bikini. Now, the conclusion is that girls don't have any problems in playing badminton without covering their legs but the people of India who don't even watch their matches have so much problem as the girls are asked for a nude fashion show. 

Jwala Gutta

                Indians should learn to be broad-minded and live over-their-fake-culture-prioritization. If I would have had sister and she would have been a national-level badminton champion and if she would have been playing for the country, I would have allowed her to grow her passion rather than asking her to sit at home just because the rule has passed that the legs will be shown. In Delhi, girls wear Kurta-salwaar at home and after reaching the college, they change their attire into sleeveless pellucid top and short pants or jeans. In Mumbai, girls wear Burqas while leaving their home and after reaching the garden, they take off their burqas and get intimate with their lovers. So, the clothes never matters. What matters is the attitude of girl. Veena Malik's attitude was wrong so she is abused and people are pissed of her. Sania Mirza's attitude has been respective and therefore people respect her for her achievements and many people dreamed of getting married to her. Even I don't have any problem with my Indian girls playing badminton or any game in short cloths till their attitude is right.

               This is all I wanted to speak on this issue.

Thanks.

My Best Performance After 15 Years ;-)

            390TH BLOG -->>

        After my 6th std, I didn't performed well in my academics and not even in the extra-curriculum activities. My father always wanted me to go on stage and perform something so that my confidence level will boost up but I never concentrated on what he said as I always had the same thinking that my father expects everything from me and I am not capable of giving him everything what a child can do. I tried to study but I never gave an outstanding performance because of which my intelligence would have been proved or my father would have been satisfied with his only son. He bought mouth-organ for me so that I can learn an instrument and entertain people on stage, he bought skates for me so that I can dance like those Western skate-dancers who does some spectacular act on wood stage, he bought games related to English language so that m English can improve and I can speak fluently which he can not. He did many things so that I can become an All-Rounder child but he never got any pragmatic response from my side.

             When I was in my Pre-Primary section and Primary section, I was an All-Rounder child. In my 1st std, I won an All-Rounder award for which audience clapped like a thunderstorm for me. I still remember the day. It was mind-blowing. I was quite small so I didn't understood much but I knew that I have done something great which has made me above the other students of my school. I was feeling very proud and thankful to God. I was thinking that I'll do this every year and I'll take this Award every year. That year i went up on stage for 5 times for 5 different awards. One snap is shown below where I am carrying my All Rounder award on the stage. 

All Rounder Award in 1st standard

         You can see the glow and a desired spirit in my eyes. The confidence in my standing posture and a pride which kept my head high and a will to do it again and again. But after this performance, I never got any special awards in my life. Being an All-Rounder is a big thing but at least winning an award for any activity in school would have made me smug and my family satisfied but the only thing I used to do in school was to enjoy and ruin my life. After some years, I understood that its not possible for me to get any felicitation in public because i am someone who's talent has died and which can't get a rebirth.

             But after I came to BCA in Bharati Vidyapeeth, Navi Mumbai, I had one thing in mind, let the students from this college be smarter and more confident than me, but I'll still perform in all the activities. Let the people laugh on me but I'll still do everything I haven't done in my life. This resulted into a fruitful result for me. My academics has been better than the those of last 5 years. My impression in the minds of teachers, students and friends is of a performer. When I don't perform, everyone shouts at me. What can be better than this for me. After the quotient of 1st std where I won 5 prizes and gave my parents a satisfied heart and a glittering eyes with lots of hope, this year I have again won 4 Certificates and 2 Trophies. I don't know how this miracle happened with me but the one thing I know is that I dared to enter all the zones which I never accessed before this in my life. I was never sporty but I still participated in sports. Friends laughed at me but I continued to strike the cords of my will and desire. I participated in all the DAYS function of college, won in a single one but still did a wonderful job what I feel about me. 

             I would like to share all those moments with all of you where I ran up till stage and took my certificates with lots of joy and pleasure. Please see all the images below :-

              Today, I am very happy to share these pictures with all of you. I need everyone's praying so that I can keep performing in this way for the rest of my life. God bless to all of them who pray for my well beings.

              Thanks.

I am 2 years old as a Mumbaikar !!!

             389TH BLOG -->>

         Let an Indian live in Bangalore - a high-class city, Jaipur - a Pink City with lots of talent, Shimla - a city with nice scenery, Pune - a city with numbers of students or Kolkata - a city of Joy but everyone wants to visit Mumbai - the city of dreams once. The mindset of people living out of Mumbai with respect to Mumbai has been like the attitude of Indians towards foreign countries. In my childhood, I used to live in Sukeli village which is 100 Km away from Mumbai city. In those days, a bus used to go to Mumbai once in 6 months so that the people from our colony can visit Mumbai and do some special shopping. My father never booked the ticket of those buses because he felt that we would shop much and his middle-class budget will be drastically effected. I always saw my friends returning with big bags and packets full of new clothes and toys. Since then, I always dreamed to visit Mumbai.

               Whenever the guests from Mumbai used to come to my house to stay, they used to boast about the houses of various celebrities near to their area. They used to lie that they met several superstars and actors and I used to feel depressed. I always asked them to call me whenever they meet Salman Khan(my favorite actor then) so that I can touch his muscles and feel its hugeness. Mumbai is always a dream city for everyone. Everyone want to visit it once so that they can share their experiences with their relatives who haven't still seen Mumbai. In my childhood, I saw the tallest building with 4 floors without parking space but whenever I saw TV programmes and movies, I used to see tall buildings in Mumbai with lifts and different types of cars. All these were just dream for me. I had my Mausaji living in Nerul. I asked my father in 5th class if we can visit there once again as I don't remember the last trip to his house because I was damn chchota bachcha then and the memory has faded. He planned the trip to his house and those moments of 3 days are still alive in my mind. That craziness and that excitement to see new new things in Mumbai was a very positive feeling in the mind of a 12 years boy. That was the first time I used Lift to reach the 4th floor of a building. That was the first time I saw swimming pool. That was the first time I saw girls with white skin who looks like foreigners. That was the first time I saw groups of young boys and girls roaming around. That was the first time I saw showrooms of branded products. That was the first time of many incredible experiences.

               Till 10th, I lived in Sukeli village itself. In 11th std, I visited Pune and Aurangabad. I repeated my 11th again and completed my 12th in Nashik itself. After completing 12th, I had an option to manipulate my parents and migrate towards Mumbai for my further education. I succeeded in convincing my parents and my father arranged an accommodation in Panvel which lies in Navi Mumbai. Navi Mumbai is the posh part of Mumbai as there's no high density of population, there is no clusters of colleges, there is no dirtiness around as everything is planned and accordingly executed. After reaching Panvel, I messaged all my friends who resided in Mumbai that Now, Even I'm a Mumbaikar and even I'll travel by Local trains. I always wanted to be a regular Local train traveler. I always heard about Local trains whenever a news of Mumbai used to flash on Aaj Tak or Star News. I heard people talking about the overcrowding of local trains. My friends who visited Mumbai used to tell me that Local train starts with 3 accelerators and then runs on a same fast speed. On the very first day, I traveled by local train and went to my mausaji's house in Nerul.

              One thing I always liked about Mumbai was the tall buildings with artistic architecture. While traveling by local trains, I always watch these buildings and dream of buying a flat on the top floor of any such towers. I want the lightning of whole city to be visible from the balcony of my bedroom. After coming to Mumbai, I just don't miss Pune, Nashik,Aurangabad and any other metro cities like Delhi I have visited. Now, being a Mumbaikar, I feel a positiveness in me and around me. I feel the whole aura of Mumbai as a spirit of achieving something. Sachin Tendulkar belong from this land. Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsale belong from this land. Amitabh Bachchan has achieved everything after shifting to this land. There are many more people who have gained big achievements in their life after stepping into Mumbai. I have seen a lot of positive changes in my life too after I have made Mumbai my permanent location to live in. Even if my parents would want to shift to their native place after their retirement, I am not going to leave Mumbai and I'm sure that I'll have my parents with me in Mumbai all my life. 

               On 15th April, 2009, I came to Mumbai and its 15th April, 2011 tonight. I have ompleted 2 years in Mumbai and I am proud of being a resident of this city where even nights are productive, where even a slumboy carries a talent, where even an old man jogs in early morning. 

JAI MAHARASHTRA !!!

JAI MUMBAI !!!
