This past week was quite interesting in many ways. Our boss from Wipro showed up and left disappointing many and angered quite a few with the way some of our questions were answered or quite frankly, unanswered. Openly advertising and proclaiming that job prospects for our group are more in India and few in the US has left many of us pondering what's next after this project. I am sure that there are more resumes in the market now on Monster and Careerbuilder than before Dr. Nabi's visit. Rest assured, Wipro will not dump any of us after this BSC project. The only thing on people's minds here is "We came here by choice and we want to go back by choice." Interesting and uneasy times lay ahead in the coming months.
Ma..Na..Se.. or Maharashtra Navnirman Sena's antics and propaganda war in the last two weeks has been very troubling. Raj Thackeray sure looks in line to be assassinated by one of the many pissed off Indians (not necessarily North Indians). This rioting is giving the terrorists and bombers to further destroy a nation on non-sensical regional divide. I have quite a few Maharashtrian friends and we share the same sentiment. They don't have any illfeelings about North Indians living in Mumbai/Maharashtra and wonder when will common sense prevail. Atleast, I am glad that North Indians are sensible (atleast a huge majority of them) not to return the favour on Maharashtrians living outside Maharashtra. When that day comes, the Lawmakers are going to have to find a quick and effective solution to stop the mindless killing and rioting.
India needs to step up and put an end to this. If this continues, there will be a time when Navratri, Pongal, Baisakhi, Durga Puja will be not be allowed to be celebrated and Maharashtrians will be left with celebrating Ganeshotsav only. Raj Thackeray does not care and neither do his thousands of supporters. It is only going to deprive Maharashtrians of enjoying the great traditions that other states enjoy.
Mahesh put it quite funnily the other day, "Uth Maratha Uth, Teen-Chaar Dukane Looth". We all had a good laugh about it, specially the way he said it. Mukesh countered by saying, Gun carrying Chambal daakus are on their way in horses to retailiate with Ma..Na..Se.. If that happens, it would be quite an event to see the clash of the actual daakus and the so-called goondas who are trying to rule a state based on a ridiculous sentiment of their leader.
