the Insider Outsider story:the truth behind the politics
How will you explain the events that have unfolded last week in Bombay oops.... Mumbai .Out of the blues, Raj Thackerey has suddenly become a politician ,with all that free publicity. I wonder the media would have shown the same frenzy if he would have sat on hunger strike for the farmers of Vidharbha. Any way let us leave that introspection to the media.
I find the whole incident bizarre and disgusting. But is it so? Hang on what is the politics behind it.Well according to political analyst like me, there are different theories to the whole incident.
Theory one:
Raj Thackerey was in desperate look out for some political ground after his split from Shiv Sena hence attack people from North India, especially the icon, Amitabh Bacchan .
Why Amitabh Bacchan : Immediate publicity
By doing this he will be accepted among the Marathi speaking people and party workers
Will be galvanized who were otherwise living a dormant life. By hijacking the political stand of shiv sena Raj Thackrey becomes the new leader for Marathis.
Theory two:
The relationship between the Congress and N.C.P are not cordial at the moment and recent meeting of Sharad Panwar and Shiv Sena Chief Bala Sahib in one function must have raised alarm bells among the Congress think tank so two parties,Congress and Raj Thackerey's party design a plan , a multiple arrow aimed at Shiv Sena, N.C.P.A deal with Raj Thackerey and Congress is Struck where the Congress Govt lets Raj Thackrey and his merry men go on rampage by not arresting them.
Raj Thackerey becomes hero of Marathi cause thus stealing the plank from shiv sena and N.C.P which are predominantly Marathi based parties.In forth coming Lok Sabha Elections the Marathi votes will be split among N.C.P, Shiv Sena and Raj thackrey party thus increasing the electoral chances congress Party. The Congress with this incident alienates the north Indians from joining Shiv sena.
Who cares about the nation.
The fact of the matter is the Economic boom Mumbai would not have been possible
Without the cheap labour available in the form of North Indians.
The irony is the Bollywood which is predominantly Hindi cinema and which provides bread and butter to Marathis and north Indians alike depends on the audience from Hindi heartland.
It is High time North Indians look for there own film city in north India wherever it may be then only these politicians will understand what it means by divisive politics

Winterline view from Mussoorie
The winterline is best viewed from two places in the world ,One is in Switzerland; the other is in Mussoorie, India. You can witness the natures art during the month of mid Oct to mid January. Each evening as the sun sets behind the valley you can watch the winterline a black/gray line in the sky, which is the false horizon.The line separates the gray, air of our atmosphere from the wonderful reddish orange/pink sky. You can witness it best from the chic -chocalate shop in kulri bazaar ,but it will be available throughout the mall road.
The other attraction is the rhesus macaques and langurs who tread fearlessly in the ton forriaging for leftover by tourists.

Chuk De India(cricket)
Well who would have thought that Dhoni and his men in blue will do it after 83 once again. 
I still rember the excitement of 83 world cup when kapil dev gave us the first taste of the world cup.This win in 2007 is even sweeter because it comes after the debacle of world cup in west indies.That to by young unknown side.
The best thing which I liked about the team was calmness of Dhoni and the sheer agressive approach of the players.That is young India for you.
It seems like a fairy tale for likes of Dhoni who rise from small towns to the glory.
The best part of the win was that nobody believed in them but for themselves.
Congratulation to the Team India and Dhoni.
well Done
My only worry now is that the victory would not make them overconfident and they lose the sight of the future,and with all that money being showered on them god knows what would be going in their brains.
BCCI should now look towards small towns that is where the real passion
for the game is.Make small cricket academy or workshops in these towns.I am sure it will benefit cricket and the nation.
the moral of this win
is team first,
united we stand.
in the end Ihave only to say
