Reply to query raised by Shri Bharat Chudiwalaji ....Seat Belts Save lives????‏

Namaskar.
 
I want to simplify life by saying we should not delve in to all issues. Human rights, dignity, development , corruption free society, right to get lawful work done in right time, are issues which we must all be alert and protect our rights and for which we have to be alert, thinking, vocal and if needed should fight for like Annaji and commonmen and even media did recently. 
 
But many other things we must leave on sensibilities of govt. machinery like traffic rules, pollution, population, dance bars, gutka, smoking , saving greenery, protecting wild life, conserving resources etc etc  
 
If there r no enough rules then we may raise issues but when there are enough rules then we must blindly follow them and be a resposible citizen. These rules are framed after lot of studies, lot of efforts, experties, expirience go in to making rules. Since there r many countries who are already ahead of us in many ways so they face the music too before us so while framing a rule even our govt . experts take in to account how and why from issues affecting them and rules framed by them. Motor accidents are also similar issue. The modern cars with quick pick up and high speed and express highways / flyovers have come up. To control severe damage to drivers and passengers the belts are must. But not many care so the strict law. I feel even Air bags will be compulsory in a year or two. Country can not afford paraplegics everywhere due to car accidents. 
 
Similarly speeds are also regulated by authorities. So to avoid severe accidents as happened in the case of Salman Khan there r speed limits and everyone must adhere to them without being smart or feeling superior or feeling he is VIP and is above law. Specially parents must educate teens to learn driving discipline as their life is the costliest and that is a age when they are negiligient. 
 
Similarly alcohol. Govt is doing their best to eduacte and punish such motorists but many still undermine the law and suffer or make others suffer. 
 
At times I find govt / ministry has made a very good law but even judiciary has unnecessarily intervrned. Like govt has to manage law and order, health of citizens  and therefore they are best to decide timing of bars, ladies bar, sale of Gutka etc but thru PIL courts have intervened where they should not. But same judiciary has also passed so many bold and visionary orders that we can breathe a free air or if was fully left in the hands of only govt then we could be just living like in banana republic. 
 
So things go on ... we must delve only on very cocerning issues and let experts in bureacracy frame good laws and we follow them. 
 
 
Thanks and Regards,

Dear Alokji,

 

I have a question, which I often ask myself or even a traffic cop!!!

 

Which is a better option???

 

To Wear a SEAT BELT and DRIVE FASTER!!! (You may SAVE YOURSELF, but what about PEDASTRIANS???) It seems we have forgotten NANDAs and SALMAN KHAN!!!

 

or

 

NOT TO WEAR A SEAT BELT but DRIVE SLOWER?? You save yourself, but more importantly you DONT KILL OTHERS!!!)

B'coz they are living like 'Aam aadmi' of India not like Netas  who go to villages to show their NAUTANKI with lot of securities & media and when abroad or in 5 star they r different.

My reply to .....Why has Annaji’s roar silenced Mrs Smita Pednekar’s voice?.....pl. wait for ur turn...my activists friends

1. I only know that there r so many shameless/ smart PIO's and Appellette officers that u cant get anything out of them. SIC takes months to hold hearing. I cant make PIO's move an inch if they dont want to. Recently Vakola Police Station had not replied to my application under RTI for 50 days. When I chased then they sent evasive reply. I went in appeal. DCP office called me for hearing. When I said I have nothing to add beyond my submission in appeal they rudely said we will reject ur appeal. Under pressure I went for hearing fixed at 4 pm. DCP arrived at 6 pm. He asked me if some wants your information then shall we give??   He made several such gesture which would have made an ordinary man piss out.Finally when I stuck to my stand he passed an order that Vakola Police station should provide me the information sought in 15 days. 25 days have passed but nothing has happened. This unauthorized hotel running without licence is backed by a powerful leader of UP and he being a ex home minister Police and BMC is not taking any action. So, so much abt teeth-less RTI. Though I am willing to lay life even in favour of RTI as it has atleast given me some basic right which I never had prior to RTI. 
2. We have thousands of God and all are having differant portfolios. So our culture does not put all responsibility on one shoulder.Then how can we and why should we expect all solution from Annaji and put blame on Annaji for not able to take care of each an every need of every citizen.we MUST rise to the occasion. We must come forward and extend help to Mrs Smita Pednekar and  alike and to those we feel r left out, unattended , needs care. We cant expect one person to carry out all our mission. I work for Sr. citizens. I dont expect u to tell me to also run activities for handicapped, blind, orphans,widows, women in distress and so on and so forth. I as an individual have a limitations. There may be much more serious case of Cancer patients but I can not divert my focus. And there r others who work in other field and doing great job and I dont expect them to start sr. citizens activities. 
3. Late Shri Kewal Semlani is my Messiah, he came at his cost of time and money and educated me and my members abt RTI. Then came great pioneer of RTI Shri Shailesh Gandhi and delivered lecture on RTI in my hall for my members. . Who really gave me more insight abt RTI and I have won one very important case only because of information collected with the help of RTI. So I dont think anyone is undermining RTI act or RTI activists. Even your time will come Shri Krish and Shri Sunil. Lage raho ( Munna bhai) . All of you are doing wonderful work. A day will come when you all will too shine  like or even more then Annaji. So do not divert / weaken your energy. Concentrate on work and mission you have set for your self. Often unintentionally we put hurdles in our progress while we think we r doing so on someone else's progress. Atleast I know mails of Krish and guidance of Sunil have been very useful to me and I am indebted to them. And I want them to create circle of such goodwill and friends all around on the   issues they stand for instead of diluting their such powerful energies this way. 

Sorry chote muha badi baat but my wish to see all my activists friends ( so many of them: Rayaniji, Jalanji, Krishji, Sunil Ahyaji, Shiv Kheraji, Shailesh Gandhiji, Mayank Gandhiji, Prafull Voraji, J P Shahji,  and so many of them which names my poor memory is failing  )is that all of you keep winning hearts of commonmen like me  ( and god is seeing all this) whether all of you get Megasesys or not. But definitely all your good work  will one day be rewarded but  thee ( God ) alone decides how and when he would do so.Wait for your turn patiently. ........Alok Tholiya

Nice Article Krish, i appreciate your concern for that segment of lower bureaucracy

I have always read & heard that people, who are honest, have nothing to fear.

Please explain me in brief as to why a person, who is honest, has clear conscience and who never indulges in corruption should fear Jan Lokpal Bill. I would be grateful if u can leave out hypothetical reasoning from this discussion.

Dear Alokji

I'm almost of your age. Except this fasting what the other this man
Anna sacrificed in his life. You may not follow suit to Anna
but I will and I can. But one thing I want to ask you sincerely
will I get the same publicity and media attention which this
publicity hungry man got. Yes, every Indian concerned  about
the growing menace of corruption. But that doesn't mean you
hold the parliament and constitution into ransom. Who is he to
give certificate to Modi. Is he supporting communalism ?
Everybody says he served in Indian Army. Don't know what
was his contribution during his tenure in the Army ? Lakhs served and
still serving the Armed forces. How the entire channels turned this
advertising agencies. Is this man really
knows what he stands for ?

Sorry I am not Anna.

There r 100 MBBS student in one batch. Do all get same success in life / career?
There r so many good boys ( Rahal Gandhi/ Salaman Khan ) but do not have one single wife as against same there r Dharmendra and many others who have 1 +

Many buy lottery . Do all hit jack pot?? There r 100 equally hard working Coolie/ porter . Do all of they make same money at the hand of the day.

There r many good products/ brands but only few r popular. Why??

R all those born r having same weight, color, size, looks, health, destiny ( one goes to slum and other goes to OT, another to Palace, and yet another to cancer hospital.......


And I can go on. That is why make good Karma if u want to hit jack pot, hit publicity, get good spouse / children etc ..


U r having jaundiced eye so u r making all ur calculation not based on a persons life time achievements, sacrifices, deeds,work for poor villagers but on his one statement. And that statement is also 100% true. Modi has worked for development of Gujarat. Can any honest person deny that???  Only a dishonest will. And only a mean will link this one statement with his other deeds/ misdeeds. Annaji s statement is only with the refernce to his work for development and not for any of his other acts. Learn to acknowledge good in even a worst person without being 100% prejudiced.

And also be honest in speaking abt other communal forces , voilence, demolition of religious places since the times o Moguls to taliban, attack on millions of women since the time of Moguls to attack on Kuwait, atrocities on minorities in Pakistan, Kashmir and other places, existence of Mafias , law breakers, smugglers, drug peddlers etc concentrated  in some groups or community, And list can go on.

I praise Modi for good work and condemn communal violence ignited by Godhara incident and also condemn Modi Govt for failing to control same in time. Will you criticize all those who demolished all those temples for centuries. I condemn all those who block traffic be it Hindu, Jain, Muslim, Christians or RPI  etc  .. Will U???

I criticize who force holi on others . Such a shameful act. Cheap mentality. Will u criticize those who remove attack procession of other religion passing thru public road??

Will u criticism those who give birth to children and make a liability on other tax payers, do not give these innocent children proper education and care and let them become criminals, mafia, terrorists or just a laborer??

Will u criticise those country who do not let others to practice their religion? India, Narendra Modi, Hindus, RSS, BJP and most of us allow and love peaceful coexistence and give all full freedom, equal rights and  equal opportunity. There r some bad sheeps I agree but before they raise their ugly head statesman of our own community curb them.

AApe mein etna sashas hai?? Do u mean that there is no one from other communities who r responsible for equally serious crime as u think is of Modi ? Have u voiced similar hatred against them. Do I have to remind those names, those hundreds of serial bomb blasts , those riots from Bhivandi to Malegaon , to bhendi bazar / J J Hospital marg where 150 Hindus were stabbed on their lever ( trained hand) .

For development of our country  population control, stopping tax evasion, brotherhood,respect to each others culture,discipline,eradication of corruption, punishing the scamsters  etc are the basic need. How many of these u , ur heros, ur preachers, ur moral guide r promoting??

And yes Sharukh, salman, and Aamir have in great way  stood for harmony and they have set example starting from their family. But majority of their community are liking that??? Are praising that?? will they be awarded for this that respect sentiments of each other??

Sorry I am Anna..

Omar, BJP vis a vis silent anti anti anna team on TN resolution

Guru & Rajiv killers must hang,says BJP Srinagar/New Delhi: J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah,in his tweet on Tamil Nadu politicians appealing to the president to spare Rajiv Gandhis killers the noose,said,If the J&K assembly had passed a similar resolution for Afzal Guru,would the reaction have been as muted I think not. The CM had earlier conveyed his reservations about Gurus execution to the Centre,saying he was worried about its fallout in the Valley. However,Omars apprehension of a political furore appeared justified when the BJP asked him to refrain from commenting on the issue.This is a sensitive issue and Omar Abdullahs comments are unfortunate.Had a Hurriyat leader made such remarks,it would have been understandable.But a responsible chief minister should be restrained.At a time when the Supreme Court has already given the death sentence,raking up this debate is unfortunate, BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said. Another BJP spokesperson,Ravi Shankar Prasad,insisted that any person who tries to attack Indias sovereignty and integrity or kills a former PM deserves the death sentence and ought to be executed.The BJP is clear that all those handed capital punishment after due process of law,including confirmation by the Supreme Court and rejection of clemency plea by the President,should be executed, he said. The Congress remained noncommittal. The CMs comment on twitter is his business.Its not for us to take cognizance of.These are sensitive issues on which each state government has its own perception.We can only wait and watch, party MP Renuka Chowd hary said,adding,In a democracy,it is perfectly okay for people to voice their opinions collectively or individually.I do not think we should speculate.

Congress has kept Karunanidhi with them but what is he saying?? He says law of India shoud not prevail and that the senseless, heartless assassins of Rajivji be pardoned!! Shocking. I wish and prey that will Karunanidhi will have have same standadrd if one of his young family member is killed by a one insane person. It is time Karunanidhi and all such politicians who have connections with any such heartless groups be dumped. ........No one speaks out except Alok on such issues.

    Alok Tholiya Thanks but u know at the time of elections psyche of voters changes. Some go to Matheran, others play card etc and avoid voting. And those who vote ...on community, language, personal interests ( builders, hoteliers,mafia, land sharks, creators of slums and unauthorized stalls etc etc? So who will vote for me?? And in present conditions u have to spend a fortune. And those who spend like that make 100 times more. Nither I can spend nor I wish to make thru social/ political activities. I won best Lions district President award but did not strive to beyond that, In District presidents elections there r some who spend lacs. I thought I can rather do some good activity with the money I will need to spend to contest election. So i cud not and did not rise beyond that. Now what I plan for next elections is make a monitoring body and take written commitment from candidates and then meet regularly and evalute and monitor the elected municipal corporator.
