Do You Break Out in Rashes,Hives and Blisters when you Care for Others ?

Posted on April 20, 2013 by Soma Mukherjee under Uncategorized

If Caring for others makes you sneeze & wheeze, If you come down with high fever,headache,stomach cramps, leg pull, tennis elbow,Become A-Z of diseases, know that you are not alone.

I will act when storm gets closer till then I don’t care, I will voice when the fire threatens to burn me,till then I don’t care, I will stand up when I find time, till then I don’t care~ aam aadmi

Isn’t it amazing how the same common man who would keep their eyes and ears shut to avoid helping any accident victim, trying their best ignoring the pleas for help, same common man who would rather record accidents and assaults on their mobiles than go ahead and help someone,would cry foul,howl and shout how Government, Police and people around are indifferent to their problems!
These other people/politicians/police- are you- are us…They are doing what we do, they have not come from outer space, they are us!

As long as we are safe… nothing else matters eh!

A few years back a 13-year-old disabled girl was assaulted and raped in a suburban train in Mumbai. There were 5 other commuters including a Prominent journalist from one of the leading dailies of the country, and none of them even thought of helping the girl. All they had to do was to pull the chain in any of the stations in between, all they had to do was to raise voice and stand up for that girl…no one in that train that day thought it was necessary to intervene.
A 26 year old woman bled to death along with her 8 month old daughter after a truck ran over them, while her husbands pleas for help fell on deaf ears of passerby in an area in Jaipur
accidents, assaults, all in broad day light, all in full public view,some stop to see the tamasha, some to quench their curiosity ,the tsk tsk’s and who has done it’s, and some to tweet and FB what they saw. who wouldn’t like their you tube video to go viral?

I can comeup with a hundreds of different situations all displaying same shameless apathy of people all around..indifference to one’s environment..

God forbid if a day shall come when we will start keeping the city clean, stop to help, or stand for a fellow human…when there will be no discriminations based on race and religion, When life will not be about sharing on facebook but caring in Real world.

HUMPTY DUMPTY SAT ON A WALL

HUMPTY DUMPTY HAD A GREAT FALL

AND ALL THE SPIRITUAL GURU’S, BABAS AND YOGI MEN

COULDN’T PUT HUMPTY DUMPTY TOGETHER AGAIN

A few oaths do not and cannot make a person a good policeman or politicians…

To do good, to serve with honesty has to come from within

Care , care for YOUR own people, care for YOUR kid’s future, care for YOUR country.

When it comes to YOUR own house do YOU just leave it to the police to keep it safe?

Don’t YOU take every measure necessary to keep it clean, safe and secure?

Why is YOUR country not part of YOUR security plans and measurements?

Why brutality and heinous crimes don’t shake YOUR conscience?

What will it take to make YOU stand up and be that first hand of help?

When will YOU understand that any assault on a fellow human is assault on YOUR soul too?

Why someone has to die to wake YOU up and How many more brutal deaths will it take to wake up this country of millions?

How long do YOU think YOU will be safe caring just for YOURSELF?

EVIL KNOWS NO BOUNDS

CHANGE TO BRING CHANGE

STOP

STAND UP FOR OTHERS

HELP

JOIN HANDS

YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU

YOUR PEOPLE NEED YOU

THINK

THINK HOW YOU CAN HELP

THINK HOW YOU CAN RAISE A BETTER CITIZEN

THINK WHAT IS YOUR CHILD LEARNING FROM YOUR BEHAVIOUR?

BE AWARE-SPREAD AWARENESS

TODAY IS YOUR DAY TO START SOMETHING NEW

TODAY KEPT IT’S PROMISE, YOU SHOULD KEEP YOURS TOO

DO SOMETHING IF YOU ARE STILL ALIVE

SOW GOOD TO REAP GOOD

Horn OK Please, cos Honking is fun!

Posted on April 12, 2013 by Soma Mukherjee under Insane Zone, My Poetry, Tribute

Today is HONK COS YOU ARE COOL DAY. If you are someone who is in love with their car ( or truck or whatever) horns, who loves to keep honking no matter what the situation is, this is the day for you.

HOW TO CELEBRATE THIS DAY?

Go out honk your town in pain red, get your vehicle fitted with the latest loudest Air horn this world has ever heard of, but don’t just stop there, honk like there is no tomorrow or existence of the entire human race depends on how loud you can be on roads. In short be a -

HONKIS BONKIS HONKA DONKA HONKING ZUDE

[Zude = Dude + Cooler + Zappier

Zappier= Happier + yo]

Of course there are people who will think you are a menace, but what do they know and do we really give a damn what others think ! And to those people who think you are a stupid, biggest jerk ever seen on roads and keep wondering who the hell gave you a drivers license, I will say only this and as I say, know that there is some air quote happening around- “whoa”

I have collected some Sayings, News paper headlines and Excerpts from T.V shows which say it loud and clear that ‘I HONK THEREFORE I AM’

There is an old saying in Webdings-

All those who honk like maniacs on loose will be dumped in hell and made to eat rotten cabbage four times a day. (Although the connection between rotten cabbage and punishing honking maniacs is not known but the ill effects of eating rotten cabbage most definitely are.)

Now some honk related news that made it to the headlines in all the leading news papers this year

Those who see dead people can also see people who honk like crazy - Times

Those who see only good and positive and meditate to elevate say that the more you honk, closer you get to the awesome seats in heaven.- The Times

(This I believe is true, has to be, why else would someone honk when the signal is red, or on a deserted road or even in a basement car parking! Think about it, who are these people honking at in the basement parking ! unless their car is an alien communicating with its species dressed up as other vehicles, in that case Your highness kindly excuse my ignorance.)

From the food shows, quotes of some celebrity chefs-

.”….And while we are at praising or criticising honking( depending on which side popular people are) there are some cocktails like Honk Honk,Honka doo, Honky Donky etc which are truly incredible and should be banned.. “- Ataa Maajhi Satakli

“….then there is Honk Tikka masala and Honk In Rice which no one should eat till one knows Honk is a vegetable or meat and in case of later what kind of meat is being used…you %%$##&** shit you garbage ^%#@ you are a fish piss- Gordon Ramsey

Your City Guide published the following in their April 2013 booklet-

“..and while we are at this topic of honking and related stuff I want to request people who dream, sing and dance honk, not to spit or urinate in open till we are sure how much of information makes it’s way to your brains.”

Well have to admit, never expected so much hooplahoo about honking in News papers and T.V shows but as I always say-

” someone is going to talk about it, much sooner than you expected” ( this one day will be the most used quote)

Oh and I wrote this incredibly amazing rocking song on Honking which will make you a proud Honker.

I have named it ‘Flaunt your Honk’

Honk your way to work ( why do you work again?)

Honk your way to home ( no need but hey you gotta sleep)

Honk in a parking lot ( why not cars are people too!)

Honk if you are driving all alone ( like that ever happens …ha)

òó

HonkHonk cos you own this world

HonkHonk cos you are such a Dude

HonkHonk cos there is no one like you

HonkHonk cos you are in the mood

òó

Honk loud in a traffic jam ( wth)

Honk on a deserted road ( like you are disturbing ghosts now

)

Honk to the tune of a song ( cos you have an art)

Honk cos you ain’t a toad ( um hmm)

òó

HonkHonk cos you are rich

HonkHonk cos your dad got cash

HonkHonk cos you own the law

HonkHonk cos rash is in fash.

òó

You were born with nothing ( what’s it to anyone i ask)

You came in this world alone( yeah so what)

But now you got cash, house and cars (

)

HonkHonk and let the world know ( sure wouda)

*********

( seriously!!!! you are going to copy this!!!)

As I said earlier some one is going to talk about it sooner, soooner did it happen. Today Stuart from THE STUART TIMES reported the Following,all i have to say to this is and i air quote it _ “I knew It”

Honking, honking all day long
Why, cos I like this honking song.
Honk in the day time
And night time too
Honk to the pedestrians
And other drivers too.
I used to think that honking was crass
A thing to be done
By a stupid dumbass
But now I know that honking is cool
I’ll ask for it to be taught in school.

“so this is what it looks like, huh”

“it,what!”

“the end of the world”

“who said its end, how do you..

“look around you fool,yesterday was a Friday, A Friday, and today a Monday. where is the weekend?”

←♠♠♠♠♠→

Dear everybody and People from outer space. Something terrible horrible happened in out Town of Gokakakpapa. Someone stole our weekend . This Thursday I saw it dancing with Friday and on Friday I saw it getting ready to date Saturday. One moment it was there, why I even waved and smiled at it but today we got up and found a Big Blue Monday in the Town.

Mr.Herg from the farm said anything is possible now a days, Mrs. Hexel called for the top Voodoo officials and Tantrik Babas from faraway land to solve this end of the world problem. Every one seemed to know someone who knew how to solve this problem and in the mean time I tried to find out what could have happened to the weekend. It really could have been anything….

Spider thought weekend was a fly and caught it in its net

Cat thought it was a mouse and killed it as soon as they met

Dog thought it was a ghost and barked and chased it out of the town

Squirrels cracked it open cos they looked nutty and brown

Cows were hungry and thirsty, they grazed on it to keep their cool

And sheep’s, you never know what they can hide beneath all that wool

What if weekend went for a walk and took a wrong turn

Or went to a carnival stayed there forever to have all the fun

Today was supposed to be a weekend and I didn’t know what to do,

Saturday and Sunday didn’t show up and no one had a clue

That is when we heard about Wombats-

Wombats

experts in all kinds of combats,

They know how to win and change the glum

with marshmallow’s, chocolates and wine gums.

They are wombats

your new age superman

They are clever

they are smart

they are fast

They always have a game plan

They are Wombats

And I knew Soma who knew Fraz The Funny Clever Wombat. The moment they heard about our problems they flew in the next second in their Chocomarshmellow Superduper trooper powered space ship and told us to take a chill with chocolate milkshake and before we knew Our weekend was restored back with all its zing.

Oh but what a shame, that our Weekend was under the huge pile of garbage lying all around in the city !! Poor poor Saturday and Sunday all stinky and dishevelled. Our superheroes Binky,Winky,Twink & Fraz re-charged and refreshed the weekends with chocotrooper superpower and even showed us how to keep the city clean.

They sang us this lovely song-

If you don’t keep your city clean

if you don’t take care of your Town

you drive away all the good vibes

and in stays quarrels and frowns

so pick up that wrapper and throw it in the bin

and next time you see a dirt

don’t wait for someone else to clean

clean you town

clean your town

polish it in and out

love your town
