Stop Calling Them Students!!!

They got their first starring role in our 24/7 news media, when KCR was trying to get off yet another of his dramas. He tried to quit his 'Fast until Death' with in a day of starting it. They started burning KCR's effigies and turned against TRS. KCR budged and new heroes are born. They are some students, mainly from the Osmania University. 

On paper, they are students. But they are actually parasites stuck to the university system taking advantage of scholarships and free hostel facilities playing politics in the student unions. They are not your typical 20 something year olds studying hard to learn their way to a professional career. They are aspiring small time local politicians feeding from the hands of the big political parties raising slogans for money. 

With the media lionizing them, they became overnight leaders. They formed a group under the banner of Osmania University Joint Action Committee/ OU JAC. Then they turned rogue, took over the OU campus and started spilling out on to the streets.  

These are the guys who trashed an ex. minister, overturned his vehicle, and made him run for his life on live television and faced no consequences.

These are the guys who made life threats to the cameras and got away scott free. 

These are the guys who protested Batukamma and Dusshera calling Mahishasura as Dalit leaders demonized by upper caste Hindus. 

These ignorant tools are indulging in blasphemy thrashing Hindu religion and celebrating the life of Narakasura as a Dalit king who lost a battle. 

Make no mistake, these are not some stupid kids any more, who are being exploited by smart politicians. They have become a copy of anti establishment Maoists, only with more credibility vested to them by our Media. They are hiding behind the Telangana plank and no body even dares to call them out on this. 

Power being the only motive, our spineless politicians, are shielding behind them to achieve their political goals. Instead of rejecting these outlaws, they glorified them as student patriots fighting for Telangana. Now,  these loons are creating terror in the name of Telangana.

Call them anti democratic. Call them anti hindu. Call them political parasites.  Call them Militants.  Call them terrorists. 

But stop calling them students. Stop calling them Telangana martyrs.

They don't care about separate Telangana. They are a bunch of jobless rogues who blame the society for their failures now creating ruckus with their new found fame. 

Raja's 2G Scam: A Good Thing?

Looking at the 3G rates announced by Tata Docomo, the first private operator to go third gen, raja's 2G scam seems to have happened for the greater good. Raja might have eaten a few thousand crore rupees by giving away spectrum at cheap rates, but that probably have resulted in less initial costs for the telecom companies. And the savings are further transferred to the aam aadmi, resulting in much low cost of mobile ownership.

Now that the govt has auctioned the 3G waves for a figure closer to Rs. 1 lakh crores, these telecoms have no option but to squeeze it from us. Bad news for the mobile broadband. While we enjoyed unlimited mobile internet for under Rs. 100/- per month on our mobiles, the just announced plans from Tata Docomo start at Rs. 350/-. The golden period of mobile internet in India just ended before it even started.

While we can starting playing guessing games on how our central government is going to misuse and mismanage these new crores that they got from the telecoms, we may have Raja to thank for the cheap 2G services we enjoyed for a while.

Akshaya Tritiya: The Ultimate Marketing Win!!

Move on Valentine's day, Mother's day and all other days with your stupid flowers, greeting cards and cheap gifts. Indian Gold Industry has pulled off an amazing win over the marketing geniuses of the west that have invented these so called 'days' as tools to sell stuff that people don't need in the name of gifts.
Some one, some where in India have discovered (invented) this amazing day, Akshaya Tritiya, the third day of Vaisakha Lunar month in Indian Calendar. Supposedly, if you buy gold on this day, you'll return to buy more gold and continue buying more and more gold. Given the Indian womens already crazed love affair with the most precious metal, this is a deal that cannot be refused.
The word cannot have spread quicker and this day has become the biggest marketing success in History. And it is expected that Indian consumers would buy a total of 5000 tons of gold on this single day.
How is that, Mr. Hallmark??
