What is freedom?

An oppressed nation which got free from the british rule in 1947, still comes to terms with the fact of a free, sovereign, democratic country. But i just asked myself what is freedom actually? do we feel free as indians.
I realised freedom is so subjective like happiness. When we had the British rule in India, our lives revolved around getting a decent job under the ruling british government and get humiliated as slaves time an again. The timid ones were happy and contented with the freedom they had. While the rebellious lot started an uprising and got india the hard fought freedom. The whole nation rose with joy and bliss for the start of a new era under indian sovereign economy.
       65 Years later where do we stand. Everyone wants a freedom. As we are so busy with our own lives to earn the daily bread, we keep complaining about our horrible bosses, our corrupt political system, our loud landlord, our financial and emotional problems. The issues are plenty, the need for freedom is unending.  Day in and day out time flies, just makes me wonder what have i done which actually makes my country a better place than it was under a ruler. Though we've all served the society in some or other way, a teacher has imparted education to make us a more litterate nation, as a doctor ya it gives immense contentment in treating the poor n needy, an entrepreneur has bought business and economical gain to the nation. Sportsmen have put us on the map so that the world over we are recognized. But is it enough, our political system seems to be in the drain as usual, corruption has extrapolated massively, innocent tax payers' money has been misused. Atleast in last decade we have become an ignorant and complacent nation. No one wants to take a bold step unless and until its bothering you. No one wants to go into the well and clean it. Everyone is happy sucking water from the top, well that includes me too.
      The politicians run the country whichever way they want, and we are just puppets to it. The Anna Hazare campaign did raise some valid points, but their uprising just got diverted from the main issue, due to few irresponsible members. Anna hazare and his group have decided to run for elections, which is a great move, to fight the system by being in the system not from outside the system, in a democratic way. I am sure they can hire able members to form the party who have a decent level of education and have an understanding constitution and economy. We as indians need to come out of our routine, mundane lives to actually make a difference in whichever way we can.
JAI HIND !!!

An Open Letter to a Mumbai Bai !!!

Yo people, whassup? Kay chaalla aahes
The Indian Bai, or specifically the mumbai bai are a group of sophisticated people, who have varied interests in different fields. This letter is dedicated to them.
Mumbai Bai, when u come late daily, use a better excuse than aaj bahut traffic tha or koi bimaar hai.
 When u come to my home when nobody is der atleast keep the volume down when u are playing dink chaak marathi songs.
When u don't come for one day, the whole day, the house is such a mess, well its a mess even when u come, though we don't see it.
When u come to make sabzi for home, what to say, where do u get that zehrila mirchi, fumes come out everytime from everywhere.
Its always fun, when u come home n say "aap ko pata hai aaj uppar waale ghar mein kya hua" its fun to hear thos lovely bits of gossips, just don't go to uppar waala ghar n say "aap ko pata hai aaj neeche waale ghar mein kya hua" . Gossips just get more fun when u have company at home to enjoy ur gossips..
And we all love ur expert comments on reality shows and Tv serials. God only knows what will we do without u. Its never fun to watch a TV serial without u around.
And when u give advise regarding what kinda job, and which place i have to work, feel like idolizing u :P
Yes i would have to check the company credentials, apply to the company, clear the interview, but who cares, u have given the approval, thats enough.
When u take care of kids, its just amazing how u r able to talk with ur companions continuously for 2 hours and still look after the child. kudos.
And for the ladies, if u need tips on fashion, who else could be a better mentor than your bai. U'l get all the help regarding clothes and jewelry. 
These days, we r even scared to fight with u, coz u get ur whole sena to argue against us. 'The Bai Union'

But there are some Bai-s who are really helpful, take care of household chores, give a motherly care to children, don't expect big favors in return. Bravo to all of them.
To the Rest, Don't forget to read my post.

The Youth of India !!

Just watched the movie 'Shaitan'  by Bejoy Nambiar.  As much as the direction, story line and acting pleases the audience, the same dint stop me realize the antics of today's youth. Well the movie was really well made, its shown the reality that happens in the posh streets and colleges of mumbai, delhi and even bangalore. The movie portrayed the gory sight of youngsters, indulging with drugs and alcohol, leading to misguided perceptions and in the end terminating with untoward accidents.
  But where are we heading, the alcohol, the cigarretes, drugs, etc. are just misguiding the youth these days. Just few days back i was just walking past a famous mumbai college, i wouldn't name the college. As i walked past the college gate, past the narrow roads, that were adjacent to the college, saw some girls in the age group of 15-17 years, smoking cigarettes. Well obviously its none of my business, that the girls are smoking, but 90% of the youth take up to smoking, drinking and drugs, just to mingle in the crowd, just to show that they are cool, social and ready to take challenges. Research shows 80-85% of addictions start at 15-18 years of age. If parents act right at this age, to curb these tendencies, they can actually protect their children from long term addiction. Problem is we don't realize it at that age, but when we grow older, we start seeing the effects of it.
  Parents are also at fault for the behavior of their children. In the name of love and care, parents spoil the children with accepting all the child's wishes even though things are not rational. Spending hours together on computer, mobile, social networking and spending less time with parents, this is what happening at every home nowadays. The term Rich spoilt kids is not uncommon these days.
  We keep saying the future of the country is with the youth of india, well but its actually in the hands of individuals, who have matured out of their youth and ready to lead a responsible life and the country.

Stop Child Atrocities!!!




Yesterday, i was travelling in the mumbai streets for some work. In a single day, i could see the act and effect of child labour on small school going children. First i was just waiting in the bus stop, saw couple of young 7- 8 year old girls carrying a big vessel of water on their head, in hot afternoon sun. With the weight of the vessel almost 25% of body weight of the child. Worse was they were walking barefoot and had to cross to the other side of the 3 lane link road. All that in heavy traffic. It was a real pity to see such kids doing cheap labour, instead they should be studying in schools.
The same day, i saw a young 10 year old boy buying gutkha( chewed tobacco) from a local pan shop. The pan shop owner without bothering just sold it to the fella after taking money. Some passerby caught hold of that boy, and made him spit all of it, and when the shop owner was asked bout selling gutkha to children. He said, " tereko kya karneka, usne paise diya maine becha" ( u mind ur own business, he paid money i sold it to him) . This is the awareness and responsibility of people around us.
I am too busy to care, but want to do something. Jaago Re and BlogAdda.com are helping me do my bit for the society. Please check it out.
The problem is bigger than child labour, the core problem is poverty and illiteracy. I just happened to talk to some poor families, most of them complain that they don't have money, so they are forced to send their kids for meager labour. Many of them understand that kids should be studying , some are just plain ignorant. Kids are easy target for cheap labour. People can make them work whole day and can get away without paying them too. This kind of lifestyle exposes them to various abuses like tobacco, smoking, drugs at a very early age and there is no one to monitor them either. Its sad that in our country we always talk about economic growth, but what about the core problems that are plaguing our country, Povery, Illiteracy, communicable diseases, child labour, female infanticide etc.
I know there are lot of NGOs working on this issues, but there should be a centralised portal by government, where quick and correct action can be taken against these issues. And even i want to be part of the cause to curb these issues in our country.

Sexual Abuse in Children!!


















Recently i was talking to a friend. I just realized child sexual abuse is so rampant in india. Almost 50% of women ive met have suffered some kind of sexual abuse in their childhood. Whats more disturbing is their own relatives are involved in such bad practices. 
where are we heading to. At one end our economy is progressing up and people in our country are embracing the broader, global mentality into their day to day living and at the other end such kind of abuse with children still continues or should i say maybe increased too. Who is to blame? Our society, people, system. Sad part is the children don't even know what they're going through. when they realize, its too late. People in own blood relationship indulge in such cowardly practices. There has been instances of father molesting his own daughter. Many of them don't have the courage to stand up against such wrong practices due to threats from the accused, or the fear of affecting familial relations. One should realize, if someone indulges in such dirty doings, he is not fit to be in the family. The society should stand up against this abuse, and protect their children. Recently i read an article in newspaper, where young boys are also being sexually abused by their relatives. 
We seriously need some proper sex education in our system. Every school whether government or private, should give proper sex education to all the students by maybe class 6th or 7th. The word should be spread to smallest of smallest villages to biggest cities in the country, so that these young children don't become a victim or accused as they grow up. After all those who do abuse children also have turned into what they are because of proper education, or maybe otherwise. I don't know whether these things happen in developed literate countries but I strongly feel good education plays a big part in our upbringing in life.

Westernisation

I was casually browsing few websites. I noticed all the websites of different organisations and companies in india have photos of american n european males and females. Even the top notch hospitals and indian organisations do it. I don't understand why. The company establishment is in india, the employees are indians, still they want to put some foriegn faces on their websites.
Here in india , people have a very wrong notion, that if we put colourful foriegn faces in our websites, people will get impressed. No !! infact i find it very irritating. I want to see faces of people associated with the firm on the website, not some unknown foriegn faces. Here we think westernising things adds to the cool quotient. ya it may be cool for some, and works to some extent, but should not cross the limits.
Why do we need some foriegn faces to improve any company's stature. Right now india has developed into a strong economy, people from abroad come to india, because we got lot of scope of expanding. we have lot of indian faces who've established themselves successfully in the world scene.

Sabse Bada King !! Manmohan Singh !!















 There has been kind of astonishing results in the General Elections 2009. The United Progressive Alliance led by Congress have had a landslide victory in this elections. The result is a one of the most phenomenal result over a decade. 
All the kingmakers, aspirants, Heroes are out. Now the long and twisted wish list of potential kingmakers lie in tatters as they wake up to the post-poll reality. The numbers, on which they were shoring up their dreams, are not simply not with them this time round. Theres only King, our honourable Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. Singh is in!!! Whatever may be the comments. Some say hes a weak leader, some say hes a visionary. Some say hes a puppet in the hands of Sonia Gandhi, some say hes a great leader. Whatever it may be, whether u love him or hate him, you cant deny the fact that his hardwork, sincerity, charisma, determination has been a major factor in congress' big win. Hes been at the helm of lot of criticism lately. The Nuclear Deal was a one of the biggest achievement of UPA  government and i stand for their decision.
Even as the politically underrated Manmohan Singh, equanimous in victory, spoke at the 10 Janpath residence of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, thousands of frenzied supporters shouted slogans, danced and exploded firecrackers on the streets.
He said 'We have an obligation to the people of India to provide a stable and secular government,' underlining the two core themes that helped the Congress retain power in one of most fiercely fought electoral battles since independence 62 years ago.
Today's thumping victory was widely credited to the unassuming Manmohan Singh, who only five years was propelled to the top post after the Italy-born Gandhi refused the prime minister's job. With this, Manmohan Singh has achieved the distinction of becoming the first prime minister after Jawaharlal Nehru to be returned after completing a full term in office.

Randomssssss

I have a Live Traffic widget in my blog which shows the where do my visitors come from, like from which site they usually aland up in my blog. 
Everytime i access my blog, i have a habit of looking whos visiting. Most of my readers come from google search. Im surprised with the amount of google search used by people all around the world.
I realised most of my visitors searched for birthday rap and landed into the post named ' birthday Rap ' a rap i had composed for a friend of mine. Im getting maximum visitors for this post of mine. I was surprised my bday rap or crap became so popular ...lol
The 2nd most common search was Republic day. I was so thrilled to see so many of indians staying in and outside india, still value days like these close to our country's history. I posted this post with title ' Happy Republic Day ' about a year ago. Just to tell many of us ignorant people, what it meant. It was great to see at least a few visitors commenting and thanking me for my effort. 
Its nice to see Indian youth interested in Indian history. We sure are proud of being Indian, but we need to show it to our country and do something good for the development of our country..

Moral Policing or Hooliganism



























 In the recent past, Many parties and small organisations have taken into hooliganism in the name of protecting Indian culture.
Latest incident was in Mangalore, where a group of activists from 'Ram Sene' barged into a pub and pulled out young girls and started, molesting and assaulting them. And then 2 days back, a couple was pulled down from a bus and beaten. why? A hindu girl was with a muslim friend. What kind of democracy is this. How can a group of people, take law into their own hands in the name of moral policing and start attacking innocent citizens.
There will be no safety for woman in india, if such attacks continue. What Indian culture or Hindu culture they're talking about. Cultures never remain stagnant in a society. Cultures are always evolving and has to be progressive. While they take about the 'the bhartiya naari' . They don't understand you can't standardise any way of living, everyone have their way of living and should be allowed to do so. No one has the right to interfere with someone's way of living. 
The great indian culture these people are talking about , is the very origin of the Sexual expression , ' The Kamasutra'. the sculptures in khajuraho rather depict various sexual positions and expressions, and is among those ancient beautiful monuments which is regarded one of the beautful works of Art. Isnt these things offensive for this people. But couples walking on the road or hugging each other even though they are related is offensive.  
The Government here should take a hard stand against such hooliganism, which they wont because, it will affect their party alliances. First It was Shiv sena in maharashtra, and now Ram sene in karnataka, Half of the people doing these things, don't know why they are, they have been provoked and brain washed by their leaders like Mutalik of Ram sene. 
If Govt. can't handle this, We citizens should form a parallel organization to handle such hooliganism.

Kill those terrorists !!




























 




























In the recent times, terrorist attacks in india has become a usual thing. 
Yesterday,  The news of serial blasts in the capital city rocked the country. The pain and shock echoed in all the news channels yesterday night.
Its really shocking to believe these serial blasts occurred within just 2 months since the serial blasts in bangalore and ahmedabad. Though bangalore blasts dint claim much of life and property, Ahmedabad blasts were detrimental, many lives lost, one blast among them occurred within a govt. hospital where patients were being treated, many doctors too lost their lives.. 
Similarly  yesterday's delhi  blasts have shaken the whole country's intelligence system. Almost 20-25 dead and more than 100 injured. Who is to blame for all this happenings. Why isn't our intelligence bureau, vigilant enough to take good precautions. Why is the intelligence network so weak, that any damn fellow can easily carry out such high intensity blasts without govt. officials knowing about it. Yes it is difficult to keep track of country with huge population like ours.. but thts not the excuse, we have the resources, but don't utilize our networks well. Finally all the investigations die out in a month or so. there is no continuous tracking of terrorist activity in the country.. A group 'Indian mujahideen' has supposedly claimed their role in the blasts, by sending email to all the news channels and the govt. calling their operation as 'BAD'.  bangalore, ahmedabad, delhi as complete after delhi blasts and tht next target is mumbai. These muslim extremists are spoiling the name of the religion, by committing crime in the name of Allah and Islam.

Finally the common people suffer, lose their lives...  Just can extend my condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. We need to stand together and fight against terrorism as a country, and crack down on these anti-social elements..

Gone are the lovely Old Days

Recently I got a really interesting email. I thought I'l share it in my blog.
Every word in this article makes me wonder, Life was so beautiful when we were kids, and its changed so much today...

'Good old days'


When gulli-danda and kanche (marbles) were more popular than cricket ...

When we always had friends to play aais-paais (I Spy),chhepan- chhepai and pitthoo anytime

When we desperately waited for 'yeh jo hai jindagi' ..

When chitrahaar, vikram-baitaal, dada daadi ki kahaniyaan were so
fulfilling

When there was just one tv in every five houses and

When bisleris were not sold in the trains and we were worrying if papas will get back into the train in time or not when they were getting down at stations to fill up the water bottle ..

When we were going to bed by 9.00pm sharp except for the 'yeh jo hai
jindagi' day ..

When Holis & Diwalis meant mostly hand-made pakwaans and sweets and
moms seeking our help while preparing them

When Maths teachers were not worried of our mummys and papas while
slapping/beating us ..

When we were exchanging comics and stamps and chacha-chaudaris and
billus were our heroes ...

When we were in nanihaals every summer and loved flying kites and
plucking and eating unripe mangoes and leechis ..

When one movie every Sunday evening on television was more than asked
for and 'ek do teen chaar' and 'Rajni' inspired us

When 50 paisa meant at least 10 toffees ...

When left over pages of the last years notebooks were used for rough
work or even fair work

When 'chelpark' and 'natraaj' were encouraged against 'reynolds and
family' ..

When the first rain meant getting drenched and playing in water and mud and making 'kaagaj ki kishtis' ...

When there were no phones to tell friends that we will be at their
homes at six in the evening .

When our parents always had 15 paise blue colored 'antardesis' and 5 paise machli wale stamps at home

When we remembered tens of jokes and were not finding 'ice-cream and
papa' type jokes foolish enough to stop us from laughing ..

When we were not seeing patakhes on Diwalis and gulaals on Holis as air
and noise polluting or allergic agents ...

the list can be endless ..

on the serious note I would like to summarise with .

When we were using our hearts more than our brains, even for
scientifically brainy activities like 'thinking' and 'deciding' .

When we were crying and laughing more often, more openly and more
sincerily .

When we were enjoying our present more than worrying about our future ..
When being emotional was not synonymous to being weak

When journeys also were important and not just the destinations .

When life was a passenger's sleeper giving enough time and opportunity
to enjoy the sceneries from its open and transparent glass windows
instead of some superfast's second ac with its curtained, closed and dark
windows ...

I Really Miss them!!

We Indians !!!!

Recently I Read an Interesting Article about Indians!! Well It just a funny Joke.. But If anyone felt its offensive, I personally apologise...


Tamils are always proud to be Tamizhs; Pretty

courteous. They speak yenglish but
sorry, no indi
(Hindi). The more common Madarasi (chennaisi...,now?)
is an ardent fan of
kireeket matches.

Their counterparts in Bombay think they live in
America but speak Hinglish like ...are you sure ki
Sujata aa rahi hai ya Ill go akela!"
And they take great pride in making stupid mistakes in
Hindi Grammar. The
BEST hypocrites in the world.

Thamizhs, are verrry lecky to have "simble"
neighbours in the keralites who are a komblex race of
peoblle (they migrated around 2000 B.C. from the
middle east, I guess; and now even the Sheikhs feel
wary of them) but they have excellent GK , eat a lot
of chooclyte and own 99.998765% of tyre shops in the
world and form 99% of nursing community.

Not far begind the kerals is the telugu desam, who are
totally againesht
flaunting their wealthu to the woruldu, though they
occasionally come out
withu brick red shirtsu and parrot green pantsu with
pleetsu (fleet).
Worustu,no?! But they (think) are greatu in
CICSu,Microsu and COBOLu!
Generally sane peoplesu (and so you can always findu
them judgingu,
probhingu, queschioningu othersu ...)

The Canadians, excuse me, the Kannadigas aor (are) the
coolest lat
dobun south but if there is political unrest in
Hersogovnia oare (or) an
ebola virus outbreak in Zaire, they bash up the Tamils
in Karnataka.
Cauvery very bad! When it comes to Rajkumar (actor),
if a fly sits on
his nose, theyll burn the entire city of Benglore to
kill the fly! To
hell with Silicon valley! I-ron, firshtu, girlu, Lasht
Bussu, roadu,
crickeatu, filamu are some of their favourites.

Maharashtrians are a conservative, confused,complex
lot-kar. -Kar, that
is because gavasakar, tendulkar, bahulkar,.. confused
that is because
sitting in southern part of India they would ask the
other person "are you
from Maharashtra or from south India..?" and genuinely
wonder why the
other person takes some time to answer the question.
They like the principles of pheejix and their
favourite character
in the alphabet is Zay (god knows where that came
from). Although
soft, peace loving people but they elect the shivsena
to rule them.

And right there next to the Maharashtrians are the
Gujjubhais. They like
to keep kes in the benk and their favourite past
time is eating
snakes like paav bhaji, masala papad and pijja
at the local snake
bar. They gobble down palak sev like their life
depends on it and believe
in the brotherhood and sisterhood of man and
woman(everybody is a bhai
or a ben).

If you go further eesht, you land uf Udissa- the land
of irron (r
unsilent) where sombalpuroa and Bhubaneshbara are big
towns. The people
are bery cordial and if you are Vikram they bill
soorly ask you B or
Bhe. They do not sout, sam or soot but occasnally
bawsh their phace at
the wasbashin. James Bond Mohanty in our colleze had a
roll nomber
jero,jero,sebhen.

Bengalees are bery bery similor, but or bery proud oph
Subas Chondro
Boash and Shoatyojit Roy (I used to know a director by
name Satyajit Ray
who was also pretty good) and everybody is Xda. I
used to havbe a friend
by name. Dada. Wonder...never mind. Bot I most
conphess, Roshgollas are
bery goooood, tho!

Bihari kids are supposed to be the smartest kids in
India (if not in the
universe!). How we wish they grow up the same
way,...but... And Biharees
are bery phond of Laloo and Ranchi, ka isse bhadiya
tumre pass kooch hai,
kaa?! spit spit...

UPites and MPites are busy going to ischool and
istudying metals to make
lots of ishteel.

Punjabis are very sweet and aggressive and offerRotti
Shotti Khayega!
to which I once replied No. He said Tage itu,yaar!
By Godu!
Every Household will have a person named "Bunty" , "Happy" or "Sunny".. Then of
course,everybodys a paappe
or a kaakke. Thats Pnjab for you.

And Kashmir (called Cashmir by many, may be because
of the amount of
cash spent to keep it in India)?!? I know Roja (or
Roza?)was shot (I
mean filmed) somewhere nearby...

But at the end of the day, wherever you are in the
world, whether it is in Sunnyvale, CA;Birmingham,UK;
UmmAl Quwain, UAE or Serangoon Road,Singapore, ask
them who they are and youll get just one answer -
INDIANS. And If there is a cricket match in any part of the World, Indians wud definitely be there..

Again Please take it as a joke. No matter How we are, who we are ,even with so much diversity in our country, We r Proud to be Indians.. Aren't We? Well I Am....

60 Years of Independence !! How We've Fared !!







Today is 15th August. We celebrate 60 years of freedom since 1947.
Its a great feeling that we have come a long way in these 60 years.
The things that have improved is our Economy which is on a rise. India's GDP grew by 9.4% in 2006-07 as compared to 9.0% in 2005-06 , the per capita income growth rate is estimated to be around 8.4% for 2006-07, Literacy rate though not much has still increased, Employment rate is increased. Many Multinational Companies see India as a potential place for their Growth and i wont disagree. The roads have improved, Telecommunication network has improved..
The youth are slowly starting to realise their responsibility to the nation, At least i do , wanna make a difference for my country, and Politics is the place to be. As someone has rightly said, ' To Change the System, you have to be in the System'.
The problems to tackle are India's exploding population, which is about 1.12 billion as of now, with more population, u need more infrastructure. One thing is still very much prevalent is Poverty, feel bad when i see young kids begging at signals n road junctions, They must be studying in some school. But thats the way it is now in India, The Rich get richer and the Poor get poorer. Where there is all the latest amenities and gadgets in the big cities, People in the rural area get to enjoy only about 3-4 hrs of electricity n water supply everyday. Medical facilities are in a boom in the big cities, and in scarcity in rural areas. The Rural development scheme by the government is not very much functional.
As the Economy is growing so is Corruption, Everyone wants to be rich. Corruption has to be dealt strictly, only then there would be some multifaceted progress of the country...
India's Test victory against India, and release of Indian women's Hockey based movie 'Chak De India' ,couldn't have come at a better time, on the eve of 60 years of Independence.
Whatever may be the condition of my country, but i love my country, and i would strive for betterment of my country..
" JAI HIND " " VANDE MATARAM"

Mumbai -5th Honest City in the World

Mumbai is judged the 5th honest city in the world. Well tht was kinda surprising for me... Well im not sure how did these people conducted this survey.. But kinda good to hear tht...
I dnt knw whether people here r honest. but theyre definitely people wid big hearts. Most of the people r really helpful. Its the spirit of Mumbaikars, tht i absolutely love , may it be the Floods , 7/11 train blasts, or the recent building collapse in borivili. They're always der to help other people in difficult times..
Recently a friend of mine came to this city frm a not so big city alone for searching a job. A gal alone in a new city, seems a bit tuff for the gal to face. But people here are so helpful. u'l never get lost in mumbai.. And wid the efficiency of our transport system, the local trains, the B.E.S.T buses, autos n taxis, U can go frm 1 end of mumbai to other end in just mere 20 bucks... But ofcourse i wont say mumbai has world class transport facilities.. But i wud say its the best in India. Nowhere in India u'l find such an efficient transport system, though many a times buses n trains r late.. but a spare a thght for the driver too theres too much traffic in mumbai... its very difficult to be on time. although not impossible...
And i wud vouch for the fact tht mumbai is the safest city in the country for the gals... For instance take Delhi, being the capital of the country , its not at all safe for gals... every other day there is a case of molestation, rapes. Its so painful ... Of course these crimes even occur in mumbai.. But comparatively Mumbai is far far better.. Recently I went to delhi , the shopkeeper n people r so rude der.. was so frustrated handling them.. Mumbai usually thts not a case..
Well exceptions r always der... der r people who r faced wid very bad experiences in Mumbai... koi kuch bhi kahe, Im just proud to be a 'Mumbaikar'
