Being bigger than ordinary is challenging for having balanced approach towards day to day life. One gets bouquets every day. At the same time one bears burden of thorns of harsh criticism every minute. Above all, there is bundle of problematic riddles on the head increasing every second.

That’s what means to having the position of Prime Minister of the largest democracy of the world with huge population, vast land with thousands of variations. This position of high power has given Narendra Modi to prove his strength and vision for welfare of common people. He seems to be at ease in public view. He carries on his responsibility day and night with untiring endeavour. He smiles. He frowns. He laughs. He cries.

Believe me he is human like any of us yet meant to rise higher than all of us.

He strives against all odds. He speaks non stop for hours. He meets many persons of authority. He shakes hands with warmth with discriminating one against others. He embraces one and all in foreign land as well as on our own pious muddy country.

He walks behind the departed soul of our dear Prime Minister Atal ji. He flies high when our airforce takes swift action against terrorists. He bows down before baba of Shirdi and Sri Aurobindo and his own blessed mother.

There is much more in his head what anyone on this earth can assume. He has his platter full of policy. He knows how to play Power * Power in politics. He has knack to bringing world leaders on terms for the sake of national interest. He lives for national treasure to be preserved. He loves wildlife and nature to be protected.

Yes ! Narendra Modi is Man with difference!

Analytical inference of this man can be concluded as:
“Success is not money or muscle power, not even fat pay bracket or place on high table. Success is being at peace with yourself n courage to say ‘No’ guided by inner self. Appeasement at the cost of own principles is the cause of failure. Other way round lies success.”

This is how our Prime Minister mirrored in the minds of those who vote or may not vote for him and his party.

Our dear Prime Minister is precious Birthday Boy today.

Let us wish him Success, progress and performance as always with bountiful of affection and respect.  After all birthday wishes emanating from heart reach beautifully to hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Divine blessings are bestowed upon him from above.

Happy Birthday once again dear hon’ble Prime Minister!

Kashmir was recently jolted by the ugliest terror attack in nearly two decades. This attack claimed at least 42 lives of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel. The 14^th February Pulwama attack exceeded the monstruousness of Uri attack of 18^th September in 2016 in terms of scale and casualties. In the Uri attack, the terrorists targeted an Army Brigade Headquarters that claimed the lives of 19 soldiers. The last Uri attack stunned the nation and made our blood boil. We all sought retributive punishment for the culprits and our desire of vengeance was satiated by a surgical strike conducted by Indian thereafter.

The Pulwama attack resonated with the car-bombing at the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly Complex in Srinagar on 1 October 2001. The terror attack evoked similar amount of fear amongst the civilians. In the October 1 attack, three terrorists rammed a Tata Sumo laden with explosives into the main gate of the complex which killed 38 people.

But the main cause of concern here is that unlike the previous terror attacks, the Pulwama attack was carried out by a local militant Adil Ahmad Dar. The scathing Pulwama attack made both our head and heart hang in shame.

According to the news agency PTI,

42 CRPF personnel have been martyred in a terrorist attack on a convoy of the security forces. Police have identified the terrorist as Adil Ahmad Dar alias Waqas Commander from Kakapora in Pulwama. Followed by the attack, US has intervened and asked Pakistan to immediately rip the terror gropus off all the immunities that those have been enjoying so far. Pakistan was believed to have been supporting and providing ‘safe haven’ to all terror groups operative on its soil.

The local Kashmiri terrorist Adil Ahmad Dar was driving the Scorpio car that they rammed into the military vehicle cilling 42 Jawans. Home Minister Rajnath Singh spoke to the DG CRPF RR Bhatnagar following the attack. J&K Police has immediately probed into the matter and post-blast analysis was done at the spot only.

Your blood may curdle to learn that the explosives used for the attack were so strong that the blast was heard from 10-12 km away, including some parts of Srinagar adjoining the Pulwama district. After the 2001 attack, this was the first suicide car bomb strike in Kashmir where the three suicide attackers died on the spot.

Going by the answer provided by the Union Government in the Lok Sabha, terror incidents in Jammu and Kashmir have increased by 261% in the passage of last five years which is really frightening. In this video below, you will find out what PM Modi has to say about the grimness of the attack:

World economic conference – World Economic forum is a Swiss NGO (Non-profit Organisation) which is stationed in Cologny, Geneva.

They rope in business, political, academic, and other leaders to serve the Global, Regional, Industry agendas.

This is an International Body as recognized by the Swiss Authorities.

The Annual Meeting is held by the end of January each year in Davos, a mountain resort in Graubünden located on the Eastern Alps region of Switzerland. Round about 2,5000 top business leaders, International Political Leaders, Economists and Journalists that form the ‘Davos Panel’ are committed to make the world a better place.

Modi to attend World economic conference

Our PM Narendra Modi is all set to appear at Davos to attend the Annual World Economic Conference they very first time in 20 years. Here, he will be in talks with World’s top CEOs and large number of heads of governments.

This will be held towards the end of January in the routine manner in Davos, Graubünden. But the good news is that Prime Minister Modi will be treated like a Chief Guest and our country will dominate the show.

Davos is a small town in the lap of Alps with an international appeal. In Victorian times, it was a tuberculosis sanatorium where patients were kept segregated from the polluted city air in a crisp, clean ambience with hearty mountain air to breathe.

Davos was even attended by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s wife who has undergone her treatment for TB. This small place in the Alpine area is transmuted into an opulent ski resort now where the CEOs and large number of government gather to meet the World economic conference in January.

Modi will visit there with a team of around hundred Indian Corporate Chiefs and Policy Makers. The event will be themed on India and it will be the main focus of the conference too. The top officials deem India to be good field of investment hence this gesture.

It was Chinese Presiden XI Jinping who addressed Davos as the Chief Guest where he wooed global businessmen and denounced protectionism.

His words were a veiled attack towards Donald  Trump’s inauguration later that month.

The last Indian PMs have avoided the event as it collides with the 26^th January, Republic Day celebrations but Modi decided to give it a shot despite having a packed schedule. His visit to Switzerland will be a nippy affair and he will be present during the 26^th January Republic Day Celebrations.

World economic conference – Besides, there is ASEAN conference just round the corner to be held in India. After a prompt visit to Switzerland, Modi will return to India to welcome the World Leaders followed by the budget session of Parliament.

World has become a very small place thanks to increased global co-operation in every sphere of life due to technological advancements.

While good things are happening all across the world, there are definitely some areas of concern as well in regards to terrorism, wars and global warming.

In this challenging environment, there are a few world leaders who can directly or indirectly make an impact on our lives with their actions.

Let’s have a look at these 5 World Leaders, who will change our lives:

5) Angela Merkel (Germany’s Prime Minister)

She is a strong lady and knows her power as well. She has been instrumental in helping Europe tide over the Euro crisis due to Greece’s meltdown. Now, she is at the forefront of leaders trying to handle the humanitarian migrant crisis from Syria and other countries impacted by IS warfare. Her positive actions will not only impact Europe and Middle-Eastern nations, but also India as it would make our neighbourhood a relatively calmer and peaceful place so that we can focus on our growth.

It’s been more than a year that Narendra Modi became India’s Prime Minister after a massive victory purely based on his own charm and charisma!

No mean feat for sure in a country of billions with diverse ideologies and multiple political parties all trying everything in the book and outside of it to grab power or to hold on to it.

Even though his appeal is fading away, which is obvious as nothing is permanent; the way his opponents are ganging up against him is mind-boggling! It may be an ego-boost for him, but for an outsider it does look like an uneven competition.

On one hand you have one party, BJP and its smaller companions forming the government, while on the other hand you have the entire opposition rallying up against him. In the forthcoming Bihar elections, Congress has tied up with Nitish Kumar’s JD (U) and  Lalu Prasad Yadav’s RJD to give stiff competition to Modi. We don’t know who is going to win or lose, but the fact that such stalwarts are not fighting graft, corruption or poverty caused by their own parties in the past few decades of rotten rule and are in fact training their guns at Modi baffles everyone. Is Modi such a huge figure that instead of working on issues for the common man, the political parties are only trying to prevent BJP to come to power?

Every election rally or media interview is aimed at taking pot-shots at Modi or his policies. Agreed, he hasn’t done wonders for the country and many of his ministers and party-people have been in the habit of putting their foot in the mouth. Also, I agree that the promises made before the general Lok Sabha elections were too huge to be fulfilled and were made to catch votes. Still the question is that the parties that are hitting at him, what has been their track record?

For one, Nitish Kumar did bring a change in Bihar. Not only the economy grew, but it became a safer state compared to what it was during Lalu’s rule. So why has Nitish become so desperate for power that he has shook hands with Lalu? What about Congress? Have they all forgotten the multitude of corruption cases piling-up against the party for which there are no satisfactory answers? Lalu’s track record is for all to see and there can’t be any argument!

This does look like just power-struggle instead of any genuine attempt to serve the common man. At least at the centre, Modi is ‘seen’ to be working for the betterment of the country. That perception also does wonders when we compare to UPA 2 when not even a leaf moved from its place! The heartening fact is that whether it is due to UPA’s policies or Modi’s efforts, the country is in a much better place economically than it was a year ago.

Bihar elections might remind everyone whether Modi is still the behemoth he is considered to be or is losing his sheen. But whatever happens, one thing is for sure that even after one year of grabbing power, he is still instilling fear in his opponents for them to lose their sleep and join hands with their enemies to hold on to power at any cost!

India hasn’t seen such a leader in many many years! Let’s hope we get many more of Modi’s kind, of course in an improved and refined manner!

The post Narendra Modi Vs. The World! Can He Still Win? appeared first on Youngisthan.in.

Hey! Don’t look at me as if I woke you up at 5am on a Sunday!

I know that Mr. Narendra Modi has the mandate to rule us for another four years and elections are far away, but then someone has to remove the rose-tinted glasses offered by Mr. Modi himself and look at the future realistically!

First of all, the achhe din are nowhere around the corner!

Sorry to rock your boat, but they are not coming anytime soon. All you have got and are going to get is pep-talk and nothing more. Development isn’t happening the way it should be, the government is not able to pass major bills required for businesses to look up as it doesn’t have the numbers in Parliament and prices are rising again!

In short, the frustrating days of UPA 2 are what one can expect given the way this current government is functioning.

If this goes on, by 2019 we all be screaming for a government change and a new PM!

Who can qualify?

Obviously the congress supporters will shout from the roof top to make their baba, Rahul Gandhi the PM!

However, the country knows his calibre and he doesn’t look like in the race, at least not today. May be if by some miracle he gets some brains, then I can’t say.

In such a scenario our best bet should be the current cricket team captain, MS Dhoni !

Yes I know he is not a politician, but by 2019 he would have retired from cricket and would have got time in his hands to join politics and contest an election. He started playing cricket for India and in no time was made captain based on his skills. He knows the game well and is a true leader. He has supported underdogs, spotted talent and gone against odds million times to steal victory from the jaws of failure! He is a true team player, a cool leader, takes smart decisions, and is unorthodox in approaching problems and providing unheard of, but successful solutions!

In short, all those qualities are what are required to be India’s PM!

We as a country have lot of potential, but no one is exploiting it in the right manner so that every citizen benefits and real growth happens to reduce poverty and inequality. The current government is only offering big words, bigger headlines instead of real action on the ground. Not to mention the fringe elements already working overtime to create a rift in the society on religious grounds!

And no, we don’t hear Mr. Modi rejecting such stupid statements simply because he can’t spoil his relations with RSS and VHP to stay in power!

I guess our best hope is someone like Mahi, a youngster to lead our young nation!

Enough of oldies catering to their selfish goals without giving a thought to what the nation wants!

Arvind Kejriwal and Narendra Modi:

Leaders of their respective parties and almost running a one-man show in their respective governments!

Both have razor sharp tongues and came to power by making promises taller than the Burj Khalifa towers in Dubai.

Of course they are competitors and competition is good in politics for betterment of the society, but as of now the two gentlemen are competing for the crown of “Who is the most incompetent of all?”!

To be honest the fight is really hard and every day brings new instances to prove that both of them are vying for this crown really desperately.

The day starts with Kejriwal’s name as a chant in and around his party office with everyone either singing his praises or his detractors, the likes of Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav vying for his blood! Same goes for Mr. Modi as his ministers and party leaders don’t start a sentence without mentioning their anndaata’s name. Ask Mr. Ravi Shankar Prasad about net neutrality and he will say our PM Modi has said so and so..

You see, it is obvious that both of them are feeding their supporters within the party something which is having a hypnotizing effect! Kejriwal and Modi are being projected as leaders who can do no wrong, see no wrong, and talk no wrong! Then what perplexes a common man is if such is the case, then why isn’t anything happening on the ground as far as electoral promises is concerned?

Kejriwal came with big promises, but recently did a U-turn by saying if he can fulfill even 40% of his poll promises during his five-year stint, it would be an achievement!

On the other hand Mr. Modi promised return of black money within 100days of him coming to power and the whole nation is still waiting after a full year with bated breath about the return of at least records of who owns how much black money!

Just yesterday, Kejriwal held a rally in Delhi for the cause of farmers, even though Delhi as a state doesn’t have the kind of land required for massive industrialization. On top of it, when the poor farmer committed suicide in full public view, Arvind didn’t stop or cancel the rally; in fact he went on and on with his bhaashan for 20minutes! This doesn’t mean Mr. Modi is a saint! He makes news for wearing exorbitantly priced suits and sending Chaadar to Ajmer Sharif, but if somebody asks his government where is the compensation for poor farmers committing suicide due to unseasoned rain in recent days and no one will have any answer! To add up to it, the government is forcing the Land Acquisition Act down the throats of poor gullible farmers in an attempt to please the corporate lobby which majorly funded the elections!

Internal Party Wars for AAP and Kejriwal, while hoards of FOREIGN TRAVEL and less focus on governance for Modi: this is not what we voted for!

It would be better if these two leaders started focusing on fulfilling their promises or else the day isn’t far when the common man will exercise his vote again to kick them out of power!

What is your take on Modi and Kejriwal Gvernment?

I love India, but I hate being an Indian!

I have my reasons!

Well, this morning I was sitting on my couch surfing social media and going through various causes people are promoting right from women’s rights to animal’s rights to what not. That’s when my maid came to hand over the tea and discussed her everyday problems with me while dusting. It made me think if we, as a society, are actually evolved as we claim to be or is it just a race on social media to portray ourselves as a responsible saint kind of people for our 15seconds of fame?

The harsh reality, my dear friends, is that we are nowhere near to be called a genuinely responsible and caring society. We, as a civilisation, have become experts in tom-tomming our good points and shouting from the rooftops about our achievements. However, we are least bothered about the rotten side! In fact, we are the contributors to that rotten side as we proudly call ourselves INDIAN and that’s how we are!

I am seriously not up to it! I just hate it!

Let me share with you the reasons for my callous statement and then you can decide for yourself!

1) We Actually Don’t Care!

It’s not about caring for others’ opinion about our lives, but caring for real causes, real people. We talk about giving love to children, but don’t think twice before ordering a cup of tea from an 11 year old kid working in a neighbouring tea stall, that too in the most indecent language!

2) Two-faced People!

Yes, we all are two-faced people. We love our double standards, and to the core! We love dusky Bipasha Basu on screen, but only want a fair bride for ourselves or in our families! Hypocrisy, right?

3) Beating Our Own Trumpet!

Aren’t we all self-centred to the extent that we try extra hard to show off our Gucci sunglasses and designer watches even at a funeral? Isn’t it always about brownie points or those few seconds of fame?

4) We Hardly Use Brains!

Now don’t make that face of getting pissed off! Yes, we follow others without using our own head. A neighbor buys a particular cell phone; we all will follow them in a herd. Someone goes to a particular restaurant, within a week, we will try to go to the same place and even upload pictures on our Facebook, Twitter profiles!

5) Hardly Care About Animals!

We don’t love fellow human beings enough, where is the question of loving animals? That is the reason for stray animals living in such pitiable conditions and then we consider Cow as a mother and search for dogs to feed after performing puja at home!

6) I, Me, Myself!

Yes, you will agree here that all we are concerned about is our opinions and viewpoints about anything and everything! Others’ opinion or views, be it religion, beliefs or faith, who the hell cares????

7) Blind Copycats!

A song becomes a hit in Korea, we will blindly copy it! A movie becomes a hit in Hollywood; there will be a race to copy it here. A new fashion trend emerges in France, we will copy it without even thinking if it goes well with our body types or not. You all remember the low-waist jeans fashion disaster just a couple of years back, don’t you?

8) Whole World Is A Dustbin!

Now that is one attitude which is responsible for PM Modi’s Swachh Abhiyaan going for a toss! My house should remain spic and span, but it’s my birthright to throw all possible garbage outside as I have nothing to do with it. It’s government’s job to clean it, right? So called INDIAN I am!

9) Money Decides If You Are Human Or Not!

How much one earns makes him/her important in our life. Think about it, how much importance do we give to an office peons or a bus conductor compared to a rich businessman or a senior government official? Got the answer, huh?

10) Always Seeking Answers Outside!

We blindly follow all those dhongi babas and gurus who sexually and financially exploit the followers as we want ready-made answers and solutions to all our problems, served on a platter! Wish we had the patience to look inside and find that all answers lie within us! Wish we believed in efforts and hardwork, as much we do in those dharm gurus and gyaani babas!

Am sure you’ll agree with me that not all is hunky dory with our society and there is no time to sit and wonder about our ancestors’ achievements all those thousands of years back.

It’s time to change ourselves for good for a better today and tomorrow!

It’s time when I proudly want to say “I love Being An Indian”

Its hard to say goodbye especially if the person is PM Narendra Modi.

This is how probably every supporter of Modiji felt when he was about to leave Canada and headed back to India.

The Madison Square Part -2 was better than the ‘India day Celebrations’ in Canada. PM Modi leaves his mark where ever he visits, like gifting Bhagvad Gita to President Obama, International Yoga Day in United Nations and now the Canadian counterpart’s wife wears a saree for the function where PM Stephen Harper greets people on the festive occasion of Baisakhi and later visits a Gurudwara .

We wish the #MakeinIndia dream becomes a reality soon.

Sulabh Shauchalaya Or Shahrukh Khan?

Is that even a question worth thinking about?

Obviously, we need Shahrukh Khan!!!!!!!!

Sulabh Shauchalya can wait, for another life!

Whoa, wait wait!

It’s not us who are saying this, but a big company in the business of toilet accessories is saying this.

Yes, you read it right!

In a country where basic hygiene is still a novelty of concept for most of the population, where toilets are still considered to be a luxury rather than basic necessity, there are organisations who consider that toilets need to have a class, a style. According to them, having a stylised commode or an attractive faucet is more important than having a basic “Shauchlaya” for poor people who have to relieve themselves in the dark of the night in open fields or on railway tracks!

Actually, there is news doing the rounds that Shahrukh has been signed for or is on the verge of signing a contract to be the brand ambassador of the company and promote their toilet accessories for a whopping 15crores! Can you imagine the figure?

It’s humongous!

Come to think of it. Isn’t it better for the company to rather spend that kind of money to make public toilets or adopting a few villages and providing each household there with a decent toilet? This amount of Rs. 15crores can help in constructing so many “Sulabh Shauchlaya” which can have company’s accessories to help build the branding too. They can use the toilet walls for their brand logos, their efforts for a much needed social cause will give them free publicity and enhance the brand in a positive manner.

It’s true that it is a free economy and everyone is free to conduct their business the way they want it, but then there are some basic needs of the country, and everyone has a responsibility for that. With Mr. Modi’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan crawling at a snail speed, such initiatives will give the campaign a big shoot, with the hygiene facilities they will be providing. Instead of showering so much money on celebs to establish the brand, it is important to be amongst the common man and help out with his real needs. Advertising the brand can happen with lesser known models who won’t charge such a bomb. The word of mouth publicity, the positive feedback after doing the community service and economical advertising can easily establish the brand in the consciousness of the consumer. What say? Isn’t it a constructive idea?

Our heroes have multiple avenues to earn big bucks from. Let them earn from promoting cars and paints and clothes and detergents while companies who can contribute in developing the nation, in however small manner, should do their bit instead of spending their valuable resources on exorbitant fees of superstars!

Toilet company, are you listening?

It’s been 67 long years that he last walked on this earth.

However, no matter what most of today’s generation feels or says about him, the man makes more and more sense in today’s world!

No, not from a political angle or just because he is the Father of the Nation we should follow him and his ideologies. The fact is that his thought process can be safely applied in our day to day lives and we can surely reap rich dividends!

Want to know how?

Let’s share with you some of his major philosophies and how they can help you live a better life!

1) Non-violence

He not only propagates physical non-violence, but also non-violence of the speech and thought! Imagine if we all follow it in our lives while dealing with an irritating boss or stupid traffic jams or our maids, life will become so peaceful. Of course, the major ramifications will be seen in societies leading to better lives for everyone.

2) Make in India

Mr. Narendra Modi might be trying to popularize his own mantra of Make In India, but Mahatma did that all those years ago by talking about making and using our own products. This way, he spoke about self-reliance so that no one can rule us and we don’t become dependent on others while making sure there is prosperity for every citizen of the country!

3) Truth

No matter how much we say that lies are important in today’s world, one should learn to be diplomatic etc etc. we all realize in the bottom of our hearts that how satisfying truth is. Yes, sometimes it hurts, sometimes it spoils relations, but in the long run it is nothing but truth that makes us have a peaceful sleep. Peace is what today’s stressed generation is searching for and it can come only with being truthful, to one self and others!

4) Change

We all talk about how life is changing, things are not the same, they are not good etc., but it is important for us to become the change we want to see in the society. And any change begins with us! This is what Bapu said and it holds true even to this day. Try to change your thoughts, our reactions to things happening around us and see how life changes for the better!

5) Patience

This is by far one of the most important lessons he taught us, in fact reminded us of. No matter how fast our lives are, patience is still a virtue and can go a long way in helping us achieve our dreams and maintain peace and social order in society. Impatience only complicates things and our lives are complicated anyways.

Try to apply his lessons in life and see the positive change. But yes, don’t expect results in minutes or hours! Have patience, good things take time!

Paresh Rawal and Narendra Modi are without a doubt two of the iconic individuals in their respective careers. Who would have thought that a day would come when the two names would be used in the same sentence?

Well, that day has arrived.

Indian actor Paresh Rawal is all set to act in a Narendra Modi biopic film and he will portray the current Indian Prime Minister. The actor will also produce the film, which would be his second after ‘OMG! Oh My God!’.

It goes without saying that the actor is an icon and many up and coming actors have seen him as an inspiration. Though he initially took up roles that required him to play an antagonist, his later transition into a comedian cannot be overlooked.

So, will he be able to do justice to the character assigned to him, which, by the way, is a major responsibility? Let us analyse a few of his roles that might draw us to a valid conclusion –

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, “Sardar” (1993)

Paresh Rawal as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in Sardar

This is not the first time Rawal will be playing a politician in a film. He has done it many times and one of his successful roles has been that of playing Sardar Vallabbhai Patel in ‘Sardar’. Directed by Ketan Mehta, the actor did complete justice to the personality of the Iron Man of India.

Ram Gopal Bajaj / Shyam Gopal Bajaj, “Andaz Apna Apna” (1994)

Ram Gopal Bajaja / Shyam Gopal Bajaj from Andaz Apna Apna

Fans of Paresh Rawal have to love this comedy bit that he did in the 1994 film ‘Andaz Apna Apna’. Though he was not the lead character, he was one of the important parts in the movie and playing twin-role while at it. The roles of Ram Bajaj and Shyam Bajaj by Rawal struck a chord with the audience bringing him to the Bollywood forefront as a comedian.

Lalit Ramji, “Woh Chhokri” (1994)

Rawal as Lalit Ramji from Woh Chhokri

One year after ‘Sardar’, Paresh Rawal played a politician (though a supporting character) in Subhankar Ghosh’s ‘Who Chhokri’. Rawal plays a layman, who later goes on to become a politician, after abandoning his wife and daughter, that is, leaving them to fend off for themselves in the society. The film won three National Film Awards, including the Best Supporting actor for Rawal.

Tikku, “Tamanna” (1997)

The iconic actor also played a eunuch in Tamanna

1997-film ‘Tamanna’ truly highlights the actor’s versatility to his job. The decade was the time when the Rawal spent most of his time playing serious characters and Tamanna was no different. This time around, he depicted the role of a eunuch trying to raise a girl in the 1975 Bombay. He had never acted as eunuch before, but managed to perfectly demonstrate his ability to adapt to different characters. The movie went on to win an National Award the following year.

Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, “Hera Pheri” (2000)

One of his latest portrayals include Baburao Ganpatrao Apte from Hera Pheri

Another hilarious character that won the hearts of many Indians was that of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte that Rawal portrayed in Hera Pheri. Be it his transition to Marathi accent or the indulgence in lunacy, he infused organic comedy to not just the character, but the film overall, winning him the best comedian award at Star Screen Awards, IIFA and Filmfare.

Narendra Modi and Paresh Rawal do have a few similarities – for instance, they are both Gujaratis, politicians and belong to the same party.

Looking at the actor’s history, it can be said that he is the only actor in Bollywood, who could have landed this role. But can he do justice to the character? Yes, he can.

But will he, is the question that will be answered only after the film’s release.

The post Can Paresh Rawal Justify Narendra Modi’s Personality? His Past Iconic Roles Will Tell You appeared first on Youngisthan.in.

No political party or the media has been able to come up with the answer to the question that everyone is tired of asking, “Where is Rahul Gandhi”.

The sudden disappearance could mean two things – either he is REALLY upset about Congress’ loss to BJP in the 2014 General Elections or he is diligently planning to come back hard at the ruling party in the 2019 General Elections.

We wish to rule out the past and the present here and instead focus on the future – the future of India under Congress, once again.

What if Congress wins and Rahul Gandhi becomes India’s next Prime Minister (or let’s crank it up a notch and assume him as a dictator)? Here’s a hypothetical evaluation of how things would be different than they are now under Narendra Modi’s regime –

Italian Would Be One of the Languages Taught in School

Italian would be taught in Indian schools

Being born to an Italian mother, Rahul is assumed to have emotional attachment to the language. Why not introduce it in Indian schools? Say goodbye to French and German.

MS Word Would Have Italics by Default

MS Word would have italics font as default

All Indians, who use MS Word on regular basis, would have their text style settings as italics. Italics font is fancier than normal text; so, makes sense.

Bomber Jacket Would Become a Style Accessory

Men would rely on bomber jacket to make a style statement

Rahul Gandhi incorporated bomber jacket to his everyday style staple, which was a Rajiv Gandhi trademark. Bomber jacket definitely has to be one of the biggest ironies on part of Rajiv Gandhi.

Investment in State-Of-The-Art Technology to Eradicate “Poverty”

Poverty would be eradicated via technology

Rahul Gandhi would definitely want to eradicate poverty, which he termed as a “state of mind” drawing criticism. His investment in technology would help change people’s mindset making them feel richer every day.

A Road or an Institution Will Be Named After Sonia Gandhi, Finally

Sonia Gandhi would have something named after her

No road or institution is named after Rahul Gandhi’s mother Sonia Gandhi. Most of his other family members have that honour. Rahul will make sure his mother gets the respect she deserves.

A situation where politicians make tall claims without any effective result, a man has stepped up overseeing operations undertaken by the Indian Navy and the Indian Army in Yemen.

That man is VK Singh.

He is the same VK Singh, who was condemned on social media and on print by Indians when he attended Pakistan National Day last month.

VK Singh, Minister of State for External Affairs

The situation in Yemen is worst for the locals, including Indians residing in the country. The Saudi-led attacks on the Shiites have taken many lives spawning fear among the residents.

Most Indians were angry that when India celebrated Shaheed Diwas, our Minister of State for External Affairs celebrated Pakistan National Day hosted by the Pakistan embassy in New Delhi. However, it was wrong of the media – online and print – to wrongly target Singh for his participation in the celebration. He has served the country during the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971 and still continues to do so, though now as MoS.

Wear green jacket 2 #PartyWithEnemy. Create media furore. Few wks later, auction jkt 4 nationalist credentials. #VKSingh in PM’s footsteps?

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally telephoned King Salman of Saudi Arabia requesting cooperation and support to evacuate the stranded Indians in Yemen, to which the Saudi King agreed.

As a result, the Indian Navy has done something no one would have expected, which is evacuating close to 350 Indian citizens as part of “Operation Raahat”, who were left high and dry in war-torn Yemen.

Narendra Modi sought help of King Salman of Saudi to evacuate Indians in Yemen

Rescued with a Navy vessel, the Indian nationals safely reached Djibouti; from there they were securely taken back to India by Air Force C-17 Globemaster. Many Indians are still stranded in Sana’a, the capital. Another aircraft is soon to reach to bring back the marooned Indians.

Indians rescued Air Force C-17 Globemaster

VK Singh is one of the most respected Army men and his treatment after attending the Pakistan National Day, at the hands of Indians, was totally unfair. He retired in 2012 as Chief of Army Staff after serving the Indian Army for forty-two years.

Singh proves everyone wrong by embarking on this difficult mission overseas, in the process exhibiting his dedication for India and its citizens. Where the night rescue saw the Navy evacuate 349 Indians, its future missions will see as many as 4,000 Indians brought back safely to their homeland.

VK Singh’s integrity was wrongly questioned and many of his criticisers will have their apologies ready when Singh returns with the remaining Indian nationals from Yemen.

We salute you, Mr. Singh!

Narendra Modi won the General elections with an almost sweeping majority.

With an impressive PR campaign, he rose to power but has failed to deliver on his promises. This makes me wonder what would happen if Mr.

Narendra Modi was India’s Supreme Leader?

Would he fulfill all his whims and fancies without thought? Or would he put the people first? Read on to find out:

1. Gujarat would be India’s capital

And maybe all of India will have kick ass roads like Gujarat.

2. All non-vegetarian food would be banned

Where will we get all our protein from? 🙁

3. Say goodbye to Sunny Leone, Smriti Irani will be India’s household name.

A little less boobs on television would be a good thing, wouldn’t it? Or not 😛

4. India would be a dry state.

Just why? Ahhhhhh Why? Why?

5. Forget that skirt and that pair of jeans. Everyone will be rocking that khadi look.

It is not that bad I suppose! More breathable clothing for the summer heat!

Tell Us what you think would happen if Modi were to become the king of India, Would it change for the better or worse?

Hong Kong-based Indian Yoga instructor Yogaraj C.P. created a Guinness World Record by continuously performing Yoga for 40hrs.

The 29-year-old demonstrated more than 1,500 asanas non-stop for 40hrs.

Here is what our Prime Minister tweeted about the young Yoga sensation.

Congrats to Hong Kong based Indian Yoga teacher, Mr. Yogaraj C.P. for creating a Guinness World Record! http://t.co/gsBTcYzZNd

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) February 17, 2015

He even appreciated the Indian Consulate in Hong Kong for their support to Yogaraj.

I appreciate the Indian Consulate in Hong Kong for their efforts to popularise Yoga & their support to Mr. Yogaraj. — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) February 17, 2015

Maintaining a low key all these years he sets the benchmark and creates a record making every Indian proud of him.

After receiving the certificate from the Guinness Book of World Records (GWR) adjudicator Mr. Dong Cheng, he dedicated the record to our PM. He considered PM’s effort to get global recognition for Yoga as very pivotal. Last year U.N had decided to declare June 21 as International Yoga Day.

Yogaraj commenced the non-stop 40hrs Yoga Sadhana with the tree pose called ‘Vrikshasana’.

The MEA spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin also tweeted about the Yoga teacher.

In 2003, he made a record for performing a headstand for 2hrs and 40mins.

His second record was back in 2011 when he held 23 postures while balancing on the seat of a moving motorbike.

He is from Chennai and his wife is from Japan.

His behind the scenes video of his Yoga calendar will simply blow your mind.

Every record that he displayed had stunned everyone. Eagerly waiting to see what’s in store next.

Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award conferred upon an Indian “in recognition of exceptional service/performance of the highest order” will soon become a treasured possession for both, former Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and freedom fighter, noted educationist and founder of the Banaras Hindu University, Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya (posthumously).

Today, the Atal statesman has his 90th birthday and this is also the 153^rd birth anniversary of Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya, which has probably turned even more special for them with the announcement of the Bharat Ratna awardee list on 24^th December.

This day has also brought relief to many BJP leaders who had been demanding Bharat Ratna for Vajpayee since last five years during which Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government reigned.

Recently when cricket ace Sachin Tendulkar was conferred upon with the prestigious Bharat Ratna, BJP expressed its resentment that Vajpayee’s name had been missed out in the awardee list by the Congress government.

PM Narendra Modi has reportedly suggested the names of reformer Vajpayee and Pt. Malaviya to the President Pranab Mukherjee for the highest civilian award. NaMo has kept his word as he had apparently promised Bharat Ratna for both of them during the National election campaigns.

The first BJP leader to get the award and the first from the country’s political right to be awarded the Bharat Ratna, the veteran BJP politician will now be counted among 43 others who have been honoured with the valuable medallion, some noted ones being eminent politician C Rajagopalachari, singing maestro Lata Mangeshkar and the distinguished scientist CV Raman.

The decision was taken when Modi held a cabinet meeting with Sushma Swaraj, Nitin Gadkari, Arun Jaitley, Rajnath Singh and the party president, Amit Shah.

Vajpayee who was elected thrice as the Prime Minister and has been the first successful leader to lead a coalition government successfully in 2008, is considered the epitome of leadership in BJP.

However, while some welcomed the decision, others were much critical about the whole affair as we can see through some tweets:

Bharat Ratna being conferred on Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya & Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee is a matter of great delight.

#BharatRatna to Atalji nd M.M. Malviyji… historical day… Most deserving persons… yes #BharatRatna got new level of being special.. 🙂

#BharatRatna is a political gimmick… Even Atal bihari and very unknown Hindu mahasabha leader madam mohan malviya r conferred with :p

Shame that the #BharatRatna is being conferred on #Vajpayee, who was deeply involved in the Ram Janmabhoomi Movement: http://t.co/EAQtXU8hLp

This Christmas day since it coincides with Vajpayee’s birthday will be celebrated as ‘good governance day’ by the central government. Senior BJP Leader, LK Advani has praised the effort to present the honourable award to Vajpayee by saying that he has a “blemish-free record and deserves the Bharat Ratna.”

The conferment of Bharat Ratna is under much scrutiny now as 38 men and only 5 women have been awarded while 20 politicians have been honoured with the award out of the 43 who have got the medallion as yet. Apparently, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi self-nominated themselves for this award as they proclaimed it while still in office.
