INDIA - SPLIT WIDE OPEN

In the past few weeks people who have the habit knowing things around the world at home, would've observed a few things.
1. China has started imitating Pakistan even more effectively.
2. Maoist guys are getting cornered and they're fighting back.

Topic 1: For a long time I wondered why China was against us (I wasn't so aware of politics and stuff). I like China 'coz thats where Bruce Lee was from. But now I'm getting absolutely P.O.ed at them for claiming Arunachal Pradesh as their state and for bullying Tibetans out of their country. Its like beating up a child because you know the child does not have the power to fight back. Poor tibet guys they've been brought up with ahimsa and no proper military facilities so they lost their land and everything. They got screwed big time. I wonder why China still calls itself a communist state. A communist state should give people what is rightfully theirs. All China has been doing is take what is not theirs. Dont they have enough land already, why do they want our Arunachal pradesh? If this goes on, one day Sri Lanka might start asking for Tamil Nadu. I once heard a politician shouting on TV, "You Indians should listen to us". 'coz he said 'you Indians' I believe he's not one. There are many guys who are proud to be Indians and then there are these guys. We are ripping each other away from our country and we don't even know it. Caste , Religion, Gender and even Language have become barriers of peace. I would like to tell all those 'you indians' speaking guys, "Yes We Are Indians. If You Are Not One Of Us. Get Out Of Our Country".
Topic 2. I'm not an admirer of the Naxal movement. They've killed too many people. But as long as they are there the politicians have something to fear. Those guys are beyond the reasons of the system. I'd have loved to hear the Naxals killing some of those terrorists from across the borders. If they had killed any terrorists who have come inside the country then I'd have called them patriots and martyrs. But they didn't. I don't have any sympathy or apathy towards them. Isn't that bad? They're getting cornered by bigger forces and getting killed and I feel nothing.

Bajaj Avenger Castrated

In these so called modern times and push button, there were a few things that still need some muscle.Bikes, Cars are more than just means of transport. They have become an expression of self.

On our Indian roads, roam some of the most lame vehicles of all time. There's nothing special about.They are just means of transport and thats it. Look at all those hero hondas and bajaj pulsar or platina or Apache or whatever they are. They are all the bloody same. They pose like hyabusas (even though they are ten times lesser than them). And now they have all been made for women and encourage women into driving them. I say this because they all now have button-start. I'm not against the push-button system, my life depends on pushing buttons every day.A button-start to a bike comes in handy during emergencies. But a bike with 'only a button start' is not a man's bike. Its scooty with more CC. Its like female body builder.

I have always wanted to buy a bike which could classified properly. Almost all the Indian bikes today do not belong to any division. They are just economy bikes. I thought the Bajaj Avenger was the only bike that falls into a proper category (cruiser bike).

Now that I've started earning I went to the Bajaj Showroom and asked dude in there about the price. He says 73K. And he continues with, "This is the NEW Avenger".
I said "Whats New?". And reply is.......
1. Its engine is bigger (200 CC).
2. Its silencer now doesn't get rusty soon.
3. Its back tyre doesn't skid.
most importantly ITS GOT ONLY BUTTON START NOW!!!!!!!!!

WTF (a borrowed phrase from my friend's blog)

And there goes my dream down the drain. I'd rather not buy a bike that doesnt know its gender. I dont have a problem with anyone who do not have a gender, but I do have a problem the ones who fake it. It is absolutely perverse. All you cruiser bike lovers out there, the good looking cruiser we used to have is no more. Its become a scooty.
I'm off to buy anything original and masculine. A good ol' YEZDI should do. Its cheap and probably one of the best looking bikes ever. It also gives a mileage of more than 40.
