Stuck in the 18th Centuary

oh well i came to the cyber all set to put up a post, but right now i seem to belong to a place thats about 10 years in the past!!! for heavens sake, i never expected to enter a net cafe which has no usb port. as of right now i'm busy hammering on some sort of ancient keyboard that seems to resemble a typewriter and my fingers are beginning to hurt from punching so hard. i better come up with some ideas soon to convince dad to get me a broadband connection,but considering my miserable performance in the exams, thats not likely to happen. ah well might as well put up the post later, my fingers are beginning to smart, cya ppl.....

Marathi Manoos Ya Marathi Manhoos???

This topic may have cooled down a bit right now what with Obama winning the elections splashed all over the paper[he gets more coverage than our politicians even?], the Malegaon blast investigation....and that gag order on him that finally seems to be working to an extent at least, Mr Raj Thackeray has been one irritating trouble maker for people living in Mumbai. For a person who claims to represent the whole of the Marathi manoos how come he concentrates so much only in Mumbai?
You know what Mr. Thackeray, you are yet to convince me. You say you are a ‘son of the soil’ and yet you still seem to be using the anglicized version of your name, Thackeray doesn’t sound Marathi to me or do you even know what your names supposed to be???? Poor William Thackeray will be turning in his grave just because he shares a name with you, considering the remarks you make... by the way hasn’t your son opted to study German instead of marathi? How come you don’t have an objection to that? Your aim is apparently the welfare and promotion of the cause of all marathis, and yet you love travelling in a Benz and sipping imported scotch....wow talk about blasphemy you hypocrite
Now for those of you who are wondering why this sudden outburst from a girl living miles away in manglore,dont worry I’m not losing it.....just being a little patriotic and showing some loyalty to the place where I was born and love living in...along comes Mr. Thackeray to send me packing to where???? I’m not leaving [technically I can’t I know, I’m not even in there].
But if you want some support then here’s an email I received a week or so ago....if every Indian agrees to it then maybe[and that’s a big MAYBE] I’ll move out.......keep dreaming...

1. Parliament should have only Delhites as it is located in Delhi
2. President, prime minster and all other leaders should be only from delhi
3. No hindi movie should be made in Mumbai, only marathi[like thats ever gonna happen]
4. At every state border, buses, trains, flights should be stopped and the staff changed to locals.
5. All Maharashtrians working abroad or in other states should be sent back as they are SNATCHING jobs from locals.[very important]
6. Visits to the taj mahal should be restricted to people from UP only[lets see that happen]
7. Relief for farmers in Maharashtra should NOT come from the centre coz that money is collected as tax from the whole of india, so why give it to someone in Maharashtra??
8. Lets support kashmiri militants because they are also killing and injuring innocent people for the benefit of their state and community after all.
9. Let’s throw all MNCs out of Maharashtra. They should open their own Maharashtra Microsoft, MH Pepsi and MH marutis.
10. Stop using cell phones, emails, TV, foreign movies and dramas. James Bond should speak in Marathi.
11. Maharashtrians should be ready to die hungry or buy food at 10 times higher price but should not accept food imports from other states.
12. No industry should be set up in Maharashtra if the machinery comes from outside the state.
13. Stop using trains in Maharashtra. Trains are not manufactured by Marathi manoos and the railway minister is BIHARI!!
14. Ensure that children born in Maharashtra should grow, live and die without stepping out of Maharashtra, then they will become true marathis.
So you see Mr. Thackeray, for all the things you claim to be doing for the Marathi manoos, most people have begun to consider you ‘manhoos’. Most of your supporters look like paid hoodlums who just wait for your instructions to then go smashing public property and banging up innocent people. With politicians like you whose only aim seems to be to balkanize the nations, who the heck needs external enemies????
Try as you might, i doubt you can succeed in what you’re doing. Mumbai’s a metropolis, you try sending people out you’ll not only be stealing her identity but also sending back into the middle ages. Not to mention, the whole of Mumbai will be out to skin you.
That’s about it for now, and hopefully he isn’t going to try something new.
P.S: wils I’m so sure you’d love to blast the guy even more than me;-]
