BABA SAHEB AMBEDKAR -The Real Bharatha Ratna

Dr.Ambedkar is one the very few people whose story I have studied in my childhood.
I never understand which  idiot got the worst idea in the history of mankind to split the people based on caste.
This man was born more than a century ago when the word caste ran the society.The history is well known from there on.But what does Abhinay want to say in this post of Ambedkar jayanthi ? only one thing Baba Saheb saw this country  out  of the internal walls built amongst the people.But today I hear people saying
       "Definitely, he belongs to so and so caste /religion so he deserves respect"
       "He belongs to my caste so I voted him "
     I can openly declare that even today the word caste has a lot of prominence .The results in the elections are determined based on the caste factor . As a common man I can only request the leaders " Please don`t kill my country the british slaughtered her for 200 years along with this casteism devil,the british left but the casteism has to go I think its time to see through the word caste.Its time ,awake."
              WHERE the mind is without fear and the head is held high

               Where knowledge is free




               Where the world has not been broken up into fragments




                By narrow domestic walls




               Where words come out from the depth of truth




               Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection




               Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way




                Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit




               Where the mind is led forward by thee




                Into ever-widening thought and action




       Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.




Tagore said this and this poem has been a source of inspiration to me.Felt like sharing it here .Ambedkar created the constitution which provides the best possible freedom in the world but Dr.Bhim Rao I`m sorry to say this my people are not ready to take this much of freedom .They never understand the meaning of democracy .We need you back Ambedkar ,Yes we need you back, at least  then my people would understand the meaning of democracy .Any way as an admirer of you I will always be with you and will of course ,follow your principles. Happy Birthday to the greatest leader of the poorest people in  India.

Yes I am a Twitter Freak!!!!!!!!


Twitter !!!! The name sounds strange to you ????? Then mate there is no point in using the web ,you better be off. The striking aspect of twitter is the ease in using it and the ease with which it brings use close to the celebrities.Whenever I feel like I`m down I simply open my twitter profile.The WordwebPro says the word twitter means "Make high-pitched sounds, as of birds".Let the world listen to your sweet voice. With the advent of twitter I came to know that celebs are  no different to the common man .They too feel bored ,even bored than I do !!! surprising ! I stopped using orkut and facebook since I signed up with twitter.Now I think I face the difficulty, may be I`ll have to reintroduce myself to my friends on orkut and FB. Now I think even Google got scared of twitter and it started Buzz . The reply you get from from a celeb to your tweet gives you the kick which you don`t even get in the last puff of a cigarette or the first kiss of your life(Didn`t experience neither ,so I`m playing safe-:).Hummm the next thing I `d say is about the bolly Tweeple .Earlier bollywood moved on mafia now ,I here by announce ---Bollywood moves on Twitter . Tharoor  added political flavour to the twitterverse 


IPL made me even mad, modi makes it lively on Twitter ,warne ,yuvi,viru,sachin,and many others ,almost all of them are on twitter. What did I learn?  The best question to ask now. I learn`t how effective of social networking media can be. For example , people on twitter should have known about Sania Mirza`s wedding much quicker than many other people.Not just this idiotic example but there are many ,I came to know about yuvi`s injury before the champions trophy last year when dravid and sachin wrote about it on their twitter pages.These examples are trivial ,follow TOI india you will get news as fast as instant coffee. And there are always common people ,you can always go through what is on their mind .Like FB, twitter may not have many  applications .But the driving force behind twitter is KISS(keep it short and simple).The Tweet may short but it is like a sort of sweet.Wa hh kya ryming hai!! yes twitter makes me creative, challenges me to think and write innovative tweets .I don`t understand why people have buzz and twitter accounts only to just read what others think.Come out folks ,write out what is on your mind it doesn`t matter even if it is absolutely garbage. The celebs are the worst tweeple I think, with a little bit of innovation most of us can be more interesting than them.Come on ,don`t shy out. After all this ,if you just think I am just a twitter freak just tweet off from here!! Else sign up with twitter and  carry your friends in your mobile phone free of cost .Don`t forget to follow me @abhi328 on twitter . Without Twitter there is no point in using the web today you are miles behind the world ,start running even now atleast you can catch up with them in time.Finally,Yes I`m a Twitter freak .Hope to see you soon on twitter.

Why I attend emls?

After coming to IIT M I have given my heart and soul not to miss an EML(Extra Mural Lecture). I can`t express in my words how much I get inspired each time I attend an eml .
A friend asks me "What do you get by attending an Eml ?doesn`t it matter to you even  if you waste your time listening to the fool coming and speaking whatever comes to his mind?"
Dear friend ,Yes it matters .My Time is valuable ,so is the case with the speaker .The person has been invited to an IIT ,remember.
I can share one thing out my experience I haven`t ever thought that I have wasted my time by attending an EML.It may not bother you but it definitely bothers me if can`t listen to Kiran bedi whom I have been reading about since I was a child. It matters a lot to see Vijay Amritraj who inspired India . And it makes a difference to meet Jai prakash narayan IAS , a role model in my life. It is great to have the gutty Nanditha das between us.The leading economists of India Motek singh Ahluwalia and Y.V.Reddy can never be missed . A moving dictionary Justice Venkatachala can`t be ignored. In addition to all this Saarang and Shaastra provide an opportunity to listen to the greats of the world.One thing I have learnt from the last Eml I attended is that never ever underestimate the speaker by the lack of popularity.Barring carlos ghosn`s Eml to be an NDTV interview I call Sunitha Krishnan`s lecture as the most recent one I have attended and it is indeed the best so far.Even the person with the toughest heart would have shed a tear that day.
In addition to all this there is always NSS which calls great speakers. In fact they called JP. And Refections is doing a good job.VSC is always there but I rarely attend their sessions.
I would rate the EML`s in this order














Sorry ,friends my mind is not allowing me to rate.Each of the EML is special in its own way .This years EML team is really great ,I know most of them by name but I`m sure only one or two among them at least know my name .Any way you guys rock .As promised in one of my earlier posts I`ll brief Ms.Bedi`s eml.She said that there are 3 M`s governing excellence Mastery in your region,active Membership of a group (society or institute etc.,) ,higher Meaning to life.She directly questioned us what we have contributed to the nation which is paying us a lot.We could n`t  answer .I don`t know about others I personally could n`t answer.The poorest of my country is paying me and I`m enjoying here. My mind calmed me down"What can I do I`m still a student".I think Dr.Bedi was reading minds then she quoted the beauty"IF BEING IN IIT YOU DON`T,THEN WHO WILL?" .
If you don`t then who will?
Yes Abhinay if you don`t then who will .Any way , it was memorable to be with the dynamic lady for few hours .


Folks Abhinay is not so busy now the next post will follow soon It`s gonna be on my favorite networking site.Ya if you are in 21st century you got it right Twitter Meri Jaan
