Greatest Poem :Rabindra Nath Tagore
Well guys this is among my favourite poems by one of the greatest poets of all time. We can feel the sincerity and genuiness of the poet in this masterpiece . We are instantly transported to a eutopian world:-
Where the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action
Where the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action
…Into that heaven of freedom, myFather, let my country awake.Rabindranath Tagore

Shayari
Well guys am attempting a shot at shyari here I go:-
Parinda Janta Hai ki Voh Jal Jayega ,
Par Galib voh phir bhi shamaa ke pass kyon jata hai
Barkhurdar Tum Kya Janoo , Jalne Mein Jo Mazza Hain
Voh Toh Sirf Parinda Janta Hai.
Parinda Janta Hai ki Voh Jal Jayega ,
Par Galib voh phir bhi shamaa ke pass kyon jata hai
Barkhurdar Tum Kya Janoo , Jalne Mein Jo Mazza Hain
Voh Toh Sirf Parinda Janta Hai.

How to tame errant rikshawalas:- Legal Crusade 3
Well my fellow crusaders continuing with my legal crusade how many times have you found yourself almost 'begging' to Auto Rickshaw/Taxi drivers to ferry you to your destinations only to be replied with a stern no or worse still a disgraceful "Tchhhh"… and at times no response at all ! How many times have you seen tired office goers, ladies with their kids and aged/sick people standing in middle of the road just because no auto/taxi is ready to ferry them to their destination.What you should be knowing is that these Auto and Taxi drivers are 'Public Service Vehicles' and they have NO RIGHT whatsoever to REFUSE a passenger… No matter how short or long the distance the passenger wishes to travel.As per the Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Act, Section 22 (d) 178 (3) (b), "Auto rickshaw driver Refusing to ply for hire" attracts a penalty of Rs. 100, and it goes up to Rs. 200 for a Taxi refusing to ply.In simple terms, if an auto rickshaw or a taxi is plying on the road, with its meter UP showing "FOR HIRE", they will HAVE to go wherever the passenger wants to go, IRRESPECTIVE of the distance.Another fact that most of us are unaware is that we DO NOT need to ASK the Auto/Taxi driver whether he will take us to a particular destination. Instead simply hail an auto/cab and GET IN first and then tell the driver to take you to the desired destination.The Driver cannot ask you to get down from his vehicle. He will have to ferry you to your destination.If he tries to get physical, simply call up 100 from your cell phone and inform them about the location of the auto/cab and the Registration number. If you have complaint against any Auto/Taxi driver who refused to ply to your destination, you can lodge a complain against him using the Mumbai Traffic Police WebsiteClick the link below to lodge an online complaint http://trafficpolicemumbai.org/Complaint%20Form%20aginst%20ART.htmlOr you can simply fax your complaint to 022-24927237,24924734,24925462 You can also email the Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) at jcptraffic@trafficpolicemumbai.org and jcptraffic@gmail.comSO, Don’t take it lying down, don’t take NO for an answer.. Show them that now you are empowered… REMEMBER :FIRST GET IN AND THEN SAY WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.. THE AUTO/ TAXI DRIVER CANNOT REFUSE THEY WILL HAVE TO TAKE YOU WHEREVER YOU WISH TO GO.Forward this to as many Mumbaikars as you can, Let the auto/taxi drivers know that they cant take us for granted anymore.. Show them who's the BOSS !Till then take care.

Redudant Laws
Are you aware that ...
About two-thirds of our laws have not been used in independent India.
About 10 per cent of them can be scrapped right away.
And most of the 10 per cent in use currently have so many obsolete and conflicting provisions that they serve far more as instruments of harassment than effective means of justice.
The oldest law in the country has been in operation for over a century and half. The one sentence 1836 Bengal District Act empowers the Bengal government to create as many zillas as it wants. The Act still exists.
As do a host of other like the Indian Post Office Act of 1885, the Indian Evidence Act of 1850 or the Indian Sarais Act of 1867. Most of them cater to a colonial and feudal socio-economic environment. And they exists side by side, mostly in complete disharmony, with the Acts passed by independent India, the Industrial Disputes Act of 1947, the Companies Act of 1956 and the Patents Act of 1970 (replacing the 1911 Act) and the Act last passed, the amended Copyright Act, 1994.
Under the Indian Sarais Act, 1867, it is a punishable offence for ‘inn-keepers’ not to offer free drinking water to passer-by. Recently, a Delhi five-star hotel was taken to court by the municipal corporation on the grounds that the hotel was not doing so.
Only about 40 per cent of our laws are in regular use. Independent India has till now found no conceivable use for the rest.
The Indian Telegraph Act, which was passed in 1885, when the concept of television obviously didn’t exist, has been invoked five times in the past three years by Doordarshan over telecast rights of cricket matches played in India. This very nearly derailed the telecast of the 1996 World cup.
In the past century and a half, the socio-economic framework of the country has undergone radical changes, but the legal structure has failed to keep pace with it.
While India badly needs efficient laws, the time spent by the law-making body on the job is unbelievably little. Parliament spends less than 0.6 per cent of a Lok Sabha day on law-making.Surprised Ponder over it !

Optimist Creed : Way to Live.
The Optimist Creed and the Serenity Prayer have offered courage to many (myself included) in times of need, sorrow and stress. I hope it encourages you and that you’ll copy it and read it often, even out loud. You can also take a print out of the PDF Secret Version . Here you go.
The Optimist Creed
Promise Yourself…
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.
To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
Cheers !
