On A Serious Note...

Few days ago, I was watching a movie called Yeh mera India or Y.M.I.In that movie there is a scene,where a cop – not a corrupt but a honest and dutiful cop - says that he wished that Bihar never ever existed.There are many other sequences also in this movie and in many other movies too and most importantly there are many real life situations also where Biharis have been looked down upon,embarrassed,humiliated and what not.But when I heard that cop say “Ye bhi hamari hi galti hai ki Bihar India mein hai & saw my friends and colleagues laughing at this comment,I thought its really high time to raise some questions..
I mean why are you people so against Bihar & Biharis.We also are a part of India and so we too deserve the respect that the other people of different states get.Why so much of discrimination.You people keep on saying that we should put an end to caste system but what is this..isn’t this a type of caste system but only put forward in a different way.Tell me what is it that you have against us.You say we take away your jobs.Excuse me,let me tell you one thing..the owner or the head of a company is not such a big fool that he’ll employ anyone.He employs someone just because he feels that this particular person is more talented or more profitable for his company.No..seriously tell me what do you want?Do you want that a doctor or engineer or for that matter anyone – even if he is less talented,less knowledgable - should get the job just because he belongs to the state.If it actually is put into practice,just tell me how do you expect the nation to progress.Come on man,if you really have the talent..compete with the other guy.why are you so afraid?And in case you don’t have it in you then instead of complaining and playing dirty politics,can’t you just work harder.
You say Biharis are corrupt.But let me ask you one thing .Can anyone be more corrupt than a person who cheats his motherland.Do you really think that without any internal support terrorists can enter and plant bombs in Delhi and Mumbai.Can anyone be bigger traitor than these people.Be practical,corruption is present virtually everyehere.One of your favourite topics for teasing Biharis is Lalu Prasad Yadav.Yes he was allegedly involve in Chara ghotala.But first of all,Bihar doesn’t only consist of Lalu like Mumbai doesn’t only consist of SRK and Dawood.Then why do you keep on saying “Ye Lalu ke Bihar se aaya hai”.Can’t you say that this person has come from the birthplace of Lord Buddha and Mahavira.Moreover is this the only ghotala that has ever taken place in our country and is he the only neta whose name has come up in such cases.And what about the tremendous profit the Railways made under his leadership.When you are blaming him for the ghotalas,shoudn’t you praise him for his good work.I don’t remember any politician ever being called by Haward University for guest lectures.
They say – Ignorance Is Bliss.Well in this case,it certainly isn’t.Let me make you aware of some facts.Lets start from history.
If you have ever attended school,you must have heard of Nalanda and Vikramsila University,two of the the most important university of ancient world..they were in Bihar.Jainism and Buddhism,two of the world,s most important religion have their roots in Bihar.Eminent personalities like Dr. Rajendra Prasad,Gautam Buddha,Lord Mahavira,Guru Gobind Singh,Chandragupta Maurya,Sher Shah Suri,Kalidas,Chankya,Jai Prakash Narayan and many many more are products of..ya you guessed it right..Bihar.
Moving over to education, Bihar has produced more no. of IAS officers than Kerela,Karnataka,Tamil Nadu,Andhra Pradesh and Gujrat combined.Does the name Super 30 ring any bells in your mind.It is an institute in Patna which gives free fooding,lodging and tuition to 30 students preparing for IIT every year and last year all 30 out of 30 got entry into IIT.I don’t remember any other institute anywhere in India producing this kind of result and to add on to that more Biharis are doctors than Punjab and Gujrat combined.Now after reading this ,only if you are IQ is in single digits,you’ll say that Biharis are fools.
Many people have complaints that Bihar has a very high crime rate.Can anyone prompt me so that I can remember ..Which city is the hometown of underworld?Which city has the highest reported no. of murders,rape cases,robbery?Which city is so unsafe for females that they are advised to carry chilly spray with them for their self defense?Ah..now I remember ,Delhi,Mumbai and Bangalore account for one out of every three crimes in cities with a million plus population.And Delhi our national capital is our crime capital too having topped the list of no. of reported crimes for five years in a row.
Look I’m not trying to say that this state is good and this state is bad.The point I’m trying to make is that it is always better to find a remedy than pointing out the faults.Nothing and nobody is perfect but we can always try to be perfect and for that we need each others support.Tell me how do you feel now a days you hear in news that Indians are being abused,beaten and even killed in Australia.Thats the same way I feel when I hear about Biharis being ill treated,isolated,abused and even beaten in some places.It really saddens me when I see the faces people and even some highly educated teachers make when I say that I’m from Bihar .Just few days ago,one of my best friends was failed in practicals in a reputed medical college just because she proudly said that she is from Bihar.Isn’t that pathetic?
Bihar is developing and that too at a very fast rate under the leadership of Nitish Kumar.But it’ll reach upto the unprecedented heights only if you lend us your support.

P.S – Today everywhere there is chaos.Murders,robbery,rape,terrorist attacks have become the order of the day.But we can counter all this only if we stay together..help each other,love each other,fight for each other.If we go by the laws of our Creator then he’ll surely helpus to restore peace in this world because every new born child brings the message that God is still not tired of us..We still have a chance..

Part II.........Love At First Sight

THIS STORY IS PURELY FICTITIOUS AND RESMBLANCE TO ANY LIVING OR DEAD IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL

Hey.....I'm back......
Sorry to keep YOU ALL WAITING.....
Don't laugh......I very well know that none of you were waiting.....
But...you know....it feels really good to say this and it kind of creates a dramatic effect which a budding writer like me needs so much...
So...Ladies & Gentleman...I,Abhishek Jayant present to you........
Aaaaaaaaah.....leave it on.....I think now I'm being overdramatic.....

So.....where were we....
Now I very well remember where i left the story and even in case i forget....i can always look at my last blog and refresh my memory neurons...
But again I've seen writers do this and i also think it creates that........ya...you guessed it right....dramatic effect......
Anyways I think I should stop being dramatic before it makes things problematic and should start the story....
Shandilya's words echoed in my ears even hours after he had said them and i assure you that it had nothing to do with any kind of ear disorder....
Shandilya is a kind of guy who rarely lies.....
So when he said those words......even though i insisted at that time that i didn't care......i had to give it a serious thought...
Of course you all must be thinking that how stupid of me that i didn't even ask who the girl was........
You see....i'm not that stupid as i look in my display photograph(I always forget to change it).
I had realised that the whole thing........whatever it was......involved a girl.
But you all must have noticed.....
That friends really become dogs in these matters.They take these situations as a god gifted oppurtunity to tease and trouble you as much as possible......
So......when i asked him to elaborate the whole thing like a long answer question(that means you have to make diagrams or in this case show photographs)....
He had some Enrique's advice for me....
I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU.....
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT......
COZ BABY HALF THE FUN.....
IS IN FIGURING IT UP ALL OUT....


STOP ACTING LIKE A GAY.........
This was my advice to him.....

I really missed my best friend Taharat at that time.He had a habit of getting into these kind of situations and i had helped him so many times and now......
When i needed him........he was thousands of kms away in kota...


That night when i went to bed.....i had so much going on in my mind....
Seriously....do you expect me to sleep after all this......my whole world had turned upside down in just one day....
But you know what........
I slept....
and had a very nice and sound sleep...
You see...i've a principle in life....
It goes like this.....
No matter whatever happens......
never compromise regarding two things........
that are......FOOD AND SLEEP
Almost 90% of the indians follow this principle but only few philosphical people like me realise it.


Next day....surprisingly.....i reached the institiute early.....
Now don't blame me for that....It was not at all my fault....that day the traffic was almost non existent and roads were very clear...
Anyways when i enterrd the institute....the first thing i saw was a girl standing at the end of the corridor.She was standing with her back towards me and seemed to be busy reading the notice board.She had let her hairs loose and they were shining in the bright light of the tubelights around.I was staring at her absent mindedly......
Then suddenly she turned..........and both my eyelids shifted one cm towards the opposite sides to get a better view of her....
I didn't intend to say it but i couldn't help it either and the word WOW escaped for my mouth as an appreciation of what i had seen....
I had said it a bit too loudly.she looked around for the source of the noise and her eyes met mine....
Its almost impossible for me to describe that feeling....when for the first time she looked into my eyes....
I could catch a glimpse of heaven in her eyes.....
Really....I found my paradise when she looked me in the eyes....
We kept looking in each other's eyes till she realised what she was doing and turned away.
But i kept looking at her...........
She had the most beautiful eyes i had ever seen.......Her lips looked as if God has worked on the minutest of details to make it as perfect and attractive as possible.Even from a distance....i could make out that her cheeks were so soft and lovely.All in all she was literally flawless......
I kept admiring her beauty till a batchmate patted me on my back and brought me to my senses.....He was saying something but i completely ignored him and started walking towards the wonder girl......
She felt someone was standing near her and turned towards me.....
She looked at me and said...Oh...hi
I wanted to say hi but the Broca's area of my brain was not supporting me.....
I mumbled something which could've meant hi.....
But only in french or spanish.....
I tried again and this time i succeded in saying hi and introducing myself as Abhishek Jayant...
She held out her hand for a handshake and told me that her name was Neha.
I gladly shook hands with her and asked the reason why she was standing here.....
She told that this was her first class in Aakash and she was unable to find the classroom...
Her voice was so sweet........that I could have stood there listening to her for the whole of my lifetime without saying a word.....
Anyways I was more than happy to help her and showed her the classroom.She smiled at me and said thank you after reaching the destination.
Her smile was so gorgeous......that i felt that i was the luckiest person on this planet to witness it.....
That whole day I kept thinking about her only....
For the first time in my life...........i was day dreaming...
I couldn't control myself and told Shandilya everything....
He looked at me in complete shock and asked who the girl was...I told him the name and he appeared to even more shocked......and then after few moments.....he smiled cunningly.He asked me to show her after the class ends....
I wondered why but he looked more excited than me....
But to our utmost disappointment.....we couldn't find her that day....
She must have left early.....We concluded.....and left for home...


That night i couldn't eat or sleep....
Her smiling face......I could see it virtually everywhwere...

The next morning...I reached the instiutute as early as possible...Shandilya arrived 5mins after me and we both started searching for my dream girl.I finally found her in library....
But when Shandilya saw her....he dragged me out of the library and started laughing like hell....
i kept asking him what happened but he kept repeating the same thing again and again....
" THIS CANNOT BE TRUE "
