MNS Demands 80% Jobs to Maharashtrians

So I log in to Timesofindia.com one weekday morning and find what, MNS demands that 80% of jobs in Maharashtra be allotted to Maharashtrians. This or something very similar to what you just read. Is MNS just crossing all the lines of sensibility and moving rapidly towards jingoism? Think about it. After repeatedly targetting Amitabh Bachchan (again) and offending all the Non-Maharashtrians (and majority of Maharashtrians), Raj Thackarey has the guts to demand 80% of jobs to Maharashtrians. This came at a time when there was a report floating that a majority of new households and building properties in Mumbai be given to Maharashtrians. Shiv Sena demanded this I guess (unconfirmed).

So what will be their next demand.
  • All schools should have 80% Maharashtrian children and all classes should be in marathi.
  • Only marathi movies should be screened in Maharashtra theaters.
  • All non-marathi actors should have a last name with either Joshi or Kulkarni attached to them. Shahrukh Kulkarni, Aamir Joshi, Hrithik Nadkarni, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar. Oh wait, Shreyas Talpade and Nana Patekar are genuine marathi names.
  • Mumbai and Maharashtra Ranji Trophy teams should have 80% marathi players.
  • Mukesh Ambani's IPL team, Mumbai Indians, should be changed to Mumbai Mumbaikars. The original and proposed names both suck.
  • 80% of all shops and businesses should have names beginning with "Chhatrapati Shivaji". This has already been started with the names of Victoria Terminus and Bombay International Airport being changed to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) and Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. Shivaji Maharaj himself might be thinking, Why God Why?

All Maharashtra residents, including myself, are extremely proud of our state and city. We live in great harmony with Maharashtrians and few of my closest and best friends are Maharashtrians. Why don't these politicians learn to unite the nation and set a great example. Rather, they are going back to the era of the British empire and using the policy of Divide and Rule.

We repeatedly talk amongst ourselves saying to one another that the common man knows everything and an educated person will not pay any attention to any of the nonsense that MNS started. But still there are lakhs and lakhs of uneducated youth and middle-aged people who get sucked into the games of the mindless and power-hungry politicial parties like MNS and create havoc in Mumbai and other cities. There is a greater power who is just watching and doing nothing about it just yet. Lets hope common sense prevails with the uncommon and Maharashtra doesn't bleed anymore.

Rajesh this is my favourite topic as you know it so I cannot resist myself in adding to what you just mentioned. Few more things that MNS (and shiv sena) can demand in near future:
1.) No more Jeans and Tops for girls in college’s only Navwari saris......How funny will that look?
2.) All pubs and discos will only play Lavnis (tamasha songs....tin tin tin tin...). Its gonna suck if that happens.
3.) and the list goes on n on.........

But there are few things which these politicians (Raj and Bal, dono c******) will find difficult to digest when Ratan Tata announces that the Nano car will be sold for 2 lakh and not 1 lakh for all Marathi’s……he he he …

Above all you look decent without your Verappan style mustache.

Sunday Night Update

Watched the first presidential debate on friday night between John McCain and Barack Obama. Good timepass on a friday night, if you are into these things. I have been taking a keen interest in politics lately and it keeps the clock ticking for me after I reach home from work.  I am particularly annoyed and irritated at both these candidates on the Iraq war for always ignoring the fact that over 100,000 Iraqis have lost their lives. What wrong did they do? And there aren't too many news outlets that are willing to show the plight of (Iraqi) families who lost near and dear ones. That's obvious, isn't it? Barack Obama looks confident and ready moreso that John McCain to lead the United States for the next 4 years. Looking forward to the Joe Biden - Sarah Palin debate this coming thursday. Should be interesting to see Palin talk extempore without a teleprompter.  Back to some sunday night news here. For the first time in few years since I started following football, I felt bore...

Please Help

While I have been blogging for nearly 2 years now and that visitors (like you) are fairly low in number, I would still like to know who you are. Although I know one of my UA friend is a regular here (and yes, it is you Hari), I don't know who are the other frequent fliers. If you choose to remain anonymous, that is also fine, but kindly leave a comment or two in the message box that is on the right side of the webpage. I am trying to get a feel for how often do you stop by. The reason I am asking you to do this is because I need your help. No, it has nothing to do with donations or anything monetary, but here I am in my third month in Bangalore and I am absolutely bored. I need some suggestions to utilize my time efficiently and effectively. Please refrain from suggesting using the gym or joining a book club. These 2 are not my cuppa tea. My mind is 100% blank about extra-curricular activities and I need some 'external' help. One of my closest friends had suggested joining...

To Quit Or Not To Quit

Damn, its getting increasingly frustrating at work. May 8th was the last day I did anything significant to talk about. My current project is extremely slow and I am dreading the day when we all get the boot from here with no new projects in sight. It was all quite hunky dory last April when I had joined Wipro for this project. Hectic training schedules, new and exciting challenges at work, more people interaction, non-stop action in terms of protocols, component testing and reports. April to October was the golden period in terms of real and satisfying work experience gained. November 2007 was the start of Leads work for me and it has been slow ever since. Very recently have I started thinking about looking for another job, which if I get one, would be my fifth in four years. A dubious distinction to have in a short career span. Stability is one thing that I haven't had in any of my previous jobs. Complaints about pay, increasingly boring work combined with a weak growth outlook w...
