How to fight terrorism..

Surprisingly, a lot can be done. As terrorists get bolder and bolder and more delusional, it is time to give them a reality check. Terrorists can never stop and will simply move on to the next target after one disappears. For example, terrorists elements within Sunnis go after Shias if they run out of other groups to hate on.

Here are the steps.
1> There are quite a few people, especially in the US,middle east and UK, that say, "We just send money to terrorist groups to get revenge". Report these people to authorities. Money is what drives terrorism.
2> Keep an eye out for people that have uncontrolled rage against other groups out of nowhere. These are the kind of people targeted for recruiting and action. Again, watch for the word "revenge". Report them directly or anonymously.
3> Watch out for people that say that terrorists are only against government and not the people. These are the people most likely to fund terrorists. Report them directly or anonymously.
4> You are likely to hear such words mostly from friends or other that share a common religious or ethnic background. Report them directly or anonymously. Terrorists are not followers of God, they are the devil incarnate. Hateful conversations from any religious group is bad.
5> Do not donate to charities unless you are absolutely sure what they do. Donate to Prime Minister or Chief Minister relief funds when in doubt.
6> Do not carry money on behalf of others when visiting India or Pakistan. Unaccounted money often ends up in the wrong hands.
7> Do not use hawala or unofficial channels to transmit money. The underworld fanatics get a cut out of those transactions.
8> Do not do unofficial bets on cricket games. Corrupt cricket officials get a cut out of those transactions and they are tied to extortion/terrorist groups.
9> Walk away from conversations that are hateful. Terrorism begins in the intelligent mind and get implemented by mindless moron. Sindhi master, Punjabi blaster. (Reference: Mad Max movies)
10> Be the possibility of peace and harmony. This is the most important step. Ofcourse, kill a terrorist before he can do harm. But be an incarnation of peace otherwise.

Dombivali Fast episode in Pune!

I am not sure if this scene is present in Dombivali Fast; it is present in the Tamil version (Evano Oruvan starring Madhavan). The main character starts losing it when a shopkeeper charges extra for a cool drink. A similar experience happened to one of our blog readers out the Pune Asiad Bus Station.

My daughter wanted to have Frooti and Aavla Supari and hence we went to vendors just next to Pune-Mumbai Volvo Booking office withing ST campus.

2 Aavla supari packs charged Rs. 2/- against printed price of Rs. 1/50 and Frooti 2 carry packages were charged Rs. 12/- against printed prices of Rs. 10/. When I demanded the exact amount to be charged they objected saying ST authority has upwardly revised stall charges and he is supplying me with cold instead of room temperature Frooti.

I demanded room temperature frooti pack (for argument sake) for which he said still he will be charging Rs. 11/- as they do not have repurchase scheme.

The shopowner who claimed we are paying more at Foodmalls in between Pune-Mumbai and hence i should not object if he also charges in excess of printed prices from passengers at ST depot at Pune.

The argument went on and when i protested he asked me to do whatever i can or lodge complaint to whosoever i can.(Editor's note: This is where the shop gets broken up in Dombivali Fast)

I brought this to higher authority in same campus for which the gentleman showed no initiative in getting my refund but said he is giving us the cold packs and hence he has to pay for electricity which is costly!!!

I did not get any refund or the excess amount paid and got insulted in front of onlookers at the depot.

The shops do not have any names printed, is there someone who is listening? Taking travellers' plights into account? Is there anyone among ST and other authorities that will take note and ask the owners to charge correctly to gullible passengers? Or are we in a country of blind, deaf and or dead authority?

Is ST authority or PMC concerned department will take note and act?

Or we go on paying excess amount and turn blind eye?

Make sure that the MNS goondas pay for the MIT attack!

Let us hope that MNS activists that tried to molest and kill the Registrar at MIT get punished to the fullest extent possible. Every engineering college in Maharashtra follow the same laws; the other colleges in Maharashtra are substandard and never get filled up with all of the management quota seats.

Pune and Mumbai seats are always at a premium because they are good places to learn and grow. The MNS activities are now reaching ridiculous and fascist levels and it is time they are bought back to law and order.

70% son of soil reservation in University of Pune..

University of Pune is going to implement 70% quota for postgraduate admissions for sons and daughters of the soil that have also completed Bachelor admission there. So if you are planning to do post graduate education later, you might want to make a decision accordingly based on your state of domicile. Ofcourse, this applies only to University of Pune and not to all colleges operating under the affiliation of Pune University.

A son or daugther of soil is defined as one who has a Maharashtra Domicile Certificate. So make sure you confirm the presence or absence of that certificate before making an admission decision. You can expect "English talking" in University of Pune to reduce in the long run, as the majority imposes its will. Nothing wrong with that. As the Maharashtra government has pointed out, such discrimination is happening all over the country and Pune University is just joining the party. No, it has nothing to do with Raj Thackeray. I wonder why the university officials are running around in Dubai recruiting students. They better be going to Dehu and Dahanu instead.

A university thrives in an atmosphere of diversity. We can expect the quality of Pune University to drop in the long run and a reduction in number of those annoying out of state folks.
