chalo chalte hain

Chalo chalte hain...


Door kahin .... Paas kahin ...
Is andher duniya se door
us ujjwal sitare ke paas

chalo chalte hain ...
Paa liya jo paana tha
de diya jo dena tha

waqt kuch haseen tha
waqt kuch kharaab tha

ab waqt pahunchne ka hai
dariya ke us paar
jahaan dard hai,  par ehsaas nai
jahaan pyaar hai, lagaav nai

Easy Ways to Make Money Online



Short on cash? With however much time you have in your day, try one or a few of these easy ways to make money. Some of these can even turn into a full time job if you’re successful.


·     Sell stuff on eBay and other similar websites. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. There is no cost for putting a product up for sale, but the reward is more than you had. Put a product up for bid or for fast sale to earn a quick buck.

·     Blogging can certainly earn a few extra. Put some classifieds on your blog, as hosting ads on your blog or blogging website can surprisingly earn you a decent wage.

·     Moderate forums on any topic you choose. Company and creators of forums don’t have time to troll their site and delete the inappropriate comments and will usually pay someone else to do it for them. And the good news for you is there will always be a forum that needs moderating.

·     Researchers are always in need of subjects and often put their surveys up online for people to take. Find the ones that have enough support to pay the participants and take 10 or 15 minutes to fill out a survey.

·     Sharing files and photos. You’ll be surprised what files or photos people are looking for. Put your files up for sale online and share some photos. The more websites you put them up on, the better the return.

·     Become a writer, either freelance or for an online magazine. Ever wonder who writes the articles you read online? Many websites hire freelance writers and magazines and newspapers hire offsite writers in a similar fashion. Contact some website agencies, magazines and newspapers to see if they need extra writers. Also websites responsible for answering questions like eHow and Yahoo!Answers pay people to answer questions.

·     Create websites for smaller, local businesses who have yet to make a presence online. Smaller businesses may not have the space or money to hire full time but sometimes can offer some money for someone to create a simple website.

·     Interview someone and sell it. Companies often look for interesting pieces to put into publication but seldom have the time to interview people. Look to local newspapers and magazines to publish interviews about neighbours who are doing something interesting.

·     Online translation is a great way to earn some money for those of you who are bilingual. International websites and companies always need excerpts and documents translated, so offer your services online if you are lucky enough to speak more than one language.


These ideas are simple and fast ways to earn a little extra during the tighter months. Try a few, and you might discover how to maximize your monthly income on a regular basis.

India and Indians have always been going crazy over outdated western hand me outs. Be it, pesticides, cosmetics, defense equipments, fashion or an aging porn star

Hooplah over FDI in retail

Off late, everyone is jumping up and down on FDI in retail and the problems it will solve (As if it is the ultimate panacea of all the problems in India). Frankly it is boring to the point of a piss off. It now seems that everyone in the nation is advocating this FDI as if they are the experts on economic affairs or trade affairs. Well, if we have such a dumb economist of a Prime Minister, why can't we brag something about economics?
But the advantages being pointed out, are far too exaggerated and  cheesy. It is like you are going to thrust them down my throat. I now even expect to read yet another article, plea in a newspaper that may write that Indians would stop raping their woman if they get more retail stores. Seriously, why all this fuss for a grocery store man?

I like reforms, I like a free economy, I like agriculture. I love shopping. But all this going on in the media and elsewhere is pure sham. For more than 60 years Indians could do nothing for their farmers, except pumping copious amounts of insecticides and chemicals (anyone remember green revolution?) and now it seems all Indians have come to this drastic conclusion that a foreign fellow will invest 51% in the karyana store and all problems shall be resolved. Dumb. Why then we wanted independence from the Britishers? East India Company was 100% FDI. It introduced the concept of cash crops in India and modernized our irrigation systems. Should it be that Mr. Prime Minister, calls them back because the country thinks that foreigners will be better off in handling our agriculture crisis?

Coming to the point on jobs. It is being bragged around that hundreds of jobs will be created. But then, if these companies are so efficient, will they be employing a massive workforce or a lean mean team of people. If we are so worried about our employment figures, why not check our ever exploding population? A topic so untouched and d-reserved out of public debates. Or is it again, that you need a foreigner to teach you, a country of billion plus people, how to manage your population.

Another segment of society wants more retail options. I support that. But has it ever occurred to anyone that we don't have enough electricity to educate our children or give uninterrupted power supply to our factories, from where will the energy come to power the AC's of the mammoth stores that have to be come up. Are we really ready for the same?

Govt. allows 100% FDI in cold storage business. If no wastage of food products could be controlled by that measure, how would 51% in retail cure the problem?

Point again is, grow up. If you really want to have a reform, show the spine and get the job done. Whimpers don't help in running a country.

Pour thy pain

Pour thy pain
In the letters of language

Pour thy pain
In the rhythms of music

Pour thy pain
In the words of literature

Pour thy pain
In the roots of the nature

Pour thy pain
In the love of your motherland
 
Pain, pains.
Pain haunts.
Pain destructs.
Pour it.
Just pour it away.
