Patriotic Post - 1 "The Razangla battle"

Today's the 10th Anniversary of Kargil and the Government of India is not participating in the celebrations by the Army. Shocking as it may be .. I feel the Govt forgets the sacrifices made sometimes as they continue to bicker about whose fault the War was.
Here's something i just went through after i read it !!! Even though my dad had told me about this ever since i was a kid. Reading this was quite something !!! I have posted the actual link below after the text so that these facts aren't lost sme where.



The Razangla battle




ON October 20, 1962, the Chinese launched a full-scale attack on 7 Infantry Brigade, stretched as it was along the Namka Chu river in the Kaming division of North West Frontier Agency (NEFA), later renamed Arunachal Pradesh, and made rapid progress. However, in the Ladakh sector, nothing much happened during the next few weeks except that some of the forward Indian posts were driven back, though there were unmistakable signs of a build-up of forces.



114 Infantry Brigade had been tasked to defend the gateway to the Indus Valley at Chushul. The brigade had occupied defences on the heights dominating the Chushul plain and its airfield. It is a vast area and consequently the defences were widely separated with the companies occupying isolated positions, resulting in the break-up of the only artillery battery into troop deployment. One of the forward and important features called Razangla was occupied by a company of 13 Kumaon, commanded by Maj Shaitan Singh.

He must have been a very naughty child for his parents to have named him Shaitan Singh. In later years, he grew up to be a sombre, God-fearing, serious-minded officer, a bit shy and unassuming. He took keen interest in the training and welfare of his men. He came from a military family, with his father having risen to the rank of a Colonel in the army.

Consequently, by training and tradition, he was imbued with a high sense of duty and responsibility and his character moulded to measure up to the trials and tribulations that lay ahead.






Razangla is a rocky area in the desolate, barren and cold desert of Ladakh and an important post for the attacker to take before making any move towards the plains of Chushul. Its height is over 17,000 feet and dominates the surrounding area, thus making it a vital feature for the defender to hold.

Equally, there was no better man to defend this outpost than Major Shaitan Singh. Both his commanding officer and the brigade commander (also from the Kumaon Regiment) knew that the enemy will require some considerable effort to dislodge him from Razangla.

Finally on the night of December 18, 1962, the Chinese made their move around mid-night. The attack opened with a heavy barrage of artillery and mortar fire supported by medium machine guns. Shaitan Singh’s men were ill-clad for the freezing winter of Ladakh, their weapons were outdated and ammunition limited with no artillery support worth the name.

Frozen earth made digging very difficult and the defender had based his defences mostly on Sangars. Notwithstanding all that, these gallant men of Kumoan hills met the overwhelming enemy onslaught head-on.

Shaitan Singh must have been the most inspiring figure in that unequal fight; for his men fought to the last while he himself kept moving to wherever the situation was found getting out of control.

Shaitan Singh was seriously wounded in the legs and stomach, yet he declined to be evacuated by his men and decided to fight to the finish. All this time, the battle raged with unabated fury. Some of the section posts changed hands many times. With the ammunition exhausted the fighting took its most primitive and brutal form, that is hand-to-hand fighting with the Kumaonis refusing to yield ground.

Before dawn could break on the Ladakh hills, silence descended at Razangla. The last of the men of that gallant company had fallen at their post. When all had been lost, three badly wounded men who had survived the fighting decided to evacuate Shaitan Singh, who by now was totally incapacitated. They carried him some distance, but the task was too much for the already weakened men.

Realising their state and the problem they were having in evacuating him, Shaitan Singh ordered his men to leave him to his fate and find their way to the battalion headquarters. Reclining against the rock, Shaitan Singh must have slowly bled and frozen to death, and that is the position in which they found him next summer.

Out of this gallant company of nearly 120 men, only these three seriously wounded soldiers came back to give the details of this heroic battle.

The Chinese had suffered heavy casualties and the momentum of their offensive in the Ladakh sector had been effectively checked by these handful of Kumaonis under that gallant company commander. Thereafter, the Chinese made no serious effort to push their drive towards the Chushul plain.

While military observers were stunned at the collective bravery of these men and that of Shaitan Singh, Joe Das, an authority on military history, drew a parallel between the battle of Razangla and the battle of Thermopyalae.

Next summer, when Razangla was revisited, Major Shaitan Singh’s body was found where the three men said they had left him. At Razangla, the spread of dead bodies of the Kumaonis, with some still clutching their weapons and from the type and extent of their wounds one could picture the desperate nature of the struggle and the bravery of the men of 13 Kumaon.

Major Shaitan Singh was awarded the Param Vir Chakra (posthumous) for valour.

Michael Jackson : Tribute

This is a time when almost all channels are paying tribute to MJ. Almost a week later they come up with wierd stories ranging from how he had broken ribs, was bald used a wig was undernourished and also only had pills in his stomach when he died. A day later after a magazine releases pics and new channels play videos play snippets of his rehearsal dance every one comments on how healthy he was looking before he suddenly died.



This is how the media practically used MJ's name to sell news .. often made up to eager and trusting fans across the world. The still r telling us of how ppl claimed to have seen MJ's ghost at his Neverland Ranch !!!



He was the biggest star and i must say with the most brilliant voice full of range too.His music had soul, lyrics that appealed to all; his beats and OMFG wat a dancer/performer !!!
I havn't grown tired of listening to his music and never will.

There are various phases in our lives one where we r addicted to pop, then boybands - britney-beyonce etc phase, then when we feel a little cooler we listen to rock, hip hop,rap eminem is da coolest rapper and he kicks ppls asses and ofcourse then there's the phse when we listen to mature rock, metal some of us enjoy club and house music !!!
Through all of these phases i could listen to any of his hits at any given time of the day and thoroughly enjoy it !!!



His music transcended all genres and had a bit of everything in it. Each of his songs has more production value than that in an album of any recent singer ... Listen to Billy Jean for instance or Bad or Give in to Me or any of his hits and just compare it to sme of the music here .. Flo Rida - Right round for example .. which is a gr8 track btw ... its not even a patch on any of his songs



He collaborated/performed with some of the biggest names in the industry today right from Slash to Britney.He gave to charity. Was gud to fans. Ppl got after him in the series of incidents he got into like havin a Chimp as a pet .. OOh its so sweet wen Paris Hilton gets a Chi hua hua as a pet and carries it around in her hand bag isnt it !




He did hav cases filed against him for serious charges but nothing was proved though there was an outta court settlement the first time !
Now who wouldnt get after a person with as much Money as him using one of his eccentricities and a wonderful way of killing the very base of his popularity : his acceptability amongst most of the public irrespective of race, or sex !!!
Now when Elvis died weren't the like 300+ ppl claiming to be his illegitimate children to cash in !!! Bust Elvis is still the King isn't he ?

Forget that shit. His music was gr8 ... 2days music isnt very gr8 and the artists keep getting caught with dope every now and then and its ok .. isn't ?

Its not like i listened to his music a lot over the past few yrs but i know one thing i never got bored or changed the channel when one of his performances or songs were being played !!!

And this is who he was going out with when she was the world's most desirable woman

Network - Insane movie !!!

Im writing this post a little late i guess considering i saw this movie almost a year ago !!! but then i guess there's no time frame for writing a blog post :) plus seeing the movie again 2day has something to do with it , i guess

The story of the movie is just insane and from the moment you start watching it you know that you are viewing a movie with complete skill ...The story revolves around the life of Howard Beale a TV news anchor far from his prime .. who has seen really gud days but now is really low on TRP .. one day on another one of his boring shows he announces that in a week from now he would kill him self ... from there on the movie takes a quantum leap into how new age ambitious media ppl decide to put this slowly turning manic on prime time television as a instant processed messiah of the ppl ... finally killing him when their ploy turns agains them ...
A ploy wherein in the new Howard Beale show theres a Lady with a tarrot card and a Man who predicts the weather using his crystal bowl (smething that strikes a resemblance on sum of our TV channels 2day)

Here are some of the the insane monologues in the movie

Howard Beale:


1. I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad.
You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, Goddamnit! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell,
'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it:
Howard Beale: [screaming at the top of his lungs] "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

2. Howard Beale:


[arms outstretched to the heavens] Edward George Ruddy died today! Edward George Ruddy was the Chairman of the Board of the Union Broadcasting Systems, and he died at eleven o'clock this morning of a heart condition, and woe is us! We're in a lot of trouble!
[calmly strolling toward the audience] So. A rich little man with white hair died. What has that got to do with the price of rice, right? And *why* is that woe to us? Because you people, and sixty-two million other Americans, are listening to me right now. Because less than three percent of you people read books! Because less than fifteen percent of you read newspapers! Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube. Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube! This tube is the Gospel, the ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers... This tube is the most awesome God-damned force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls in to the hands of the wrong people, and that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died. Because this company is now in the hands of CCA -- the Communication Corporation of America. There's a new Chairman of the Board, a man called Frank Hackett, sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the twentieth floor. And when the twelfth largest company in the world controls the most awesome God-damned propoganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network?
[ascending the stage] So, you listen to me. Listen to me: Television is not the truth! Television is a God-damned amusement park! Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, side-show freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business! So if you want the truth... Go to God! Go to your gurus! Go to yourselves! Because that's the only place you're ever going to find any real truth.
[laughing to himself] But, man, you're never going to get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you want to hear; we lie like hell. We'll tell you that, uh, Kojak always gets the killer, or that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker's house, and no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry, just look at your watch; at the end of the hour he's going to win. We'll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in *illusions*, man! None of it is true! But you people sit there, day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds... We're all you know. You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the tube is reality, and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you! You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even *think* like the tube! This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God's name, you people are the real thing! *WE* are the illusion! So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now. Turn them off right now. Turn them off and leave them off! Turn them off right in the middle of the sentence I'm speaking to you now! TURN THEM OFF...
[collapses in a prophetic swoon as the audience erupts in thunderous applause]
You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here, you're beginning to believe that the tube is reality and your own lives are unreal. You do. Why, whatever the tube tells you: you dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs. In God's name, you people are the real thing, WE are the illusion.


3. Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube. This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation; this tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers; this tube is the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people, and that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died. Because this company is now in the hands of CCA, the Communications Corporation of America; there's a new chairman of the board, a man called Frank Hackett, sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the twentieth floor. And when the 12th largest company in the world controls the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network?

4. Arthur Jensen:

[bellowing] You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it! Is that clear? You think you've merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case! The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance! You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU...WILL...ATONE!
Arthur Jensen: [calmly] Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale? You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those *are* the nations of the world today. What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state, Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that . . . perfect world . . . in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality. One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale, to preach this evangel.
Howard Beale: Why me?
Arthur Jensen: Because you're on television, dummy. Sixty million people watch you every night of the week, Monday through Friday.
Howard Beale: I have seen the face of God.
Arthur Jensen: You just might be right, Mr. Beale.

Parking @ Viman Nagar

Living in Viman Nagar has quantumly improved in the last 6-8 months.I mean there r restaurants every 100 mtrs literally. There's a 3 storey restaurant with different cuisines served at each floor at lesser than a 100 mtrs ;) there's a world gym thats started thats even closer bang in front of my house (almost) !!! Mixed signals i say restaurants at walking distances and a gym thats even closer ...

However the pain in the ass fucks that are seriously spoiling the fun are these traffic guys that hav this random vehicle that keeps going about @ 10k an hour all the tim in the different roads here with the traffic ppl running along almost faster than the truck pouncing on any 2 wheeler parked on the road without any one sitting on it ..

Man r these guys slick they hav the bik up and away onto the truck or wateva it is in no tim .. I was actually amazed at how fast they did their shit because they did not look very well fed .. as in if they didn't hav their uniforms on i would hav thought it was a bunch of underfed orphans that had escaped from their orphange to get smething to eat !!!

Neways back to the pt ... i was actually amazed today .. i had parked ma bik in front of a takaway here as busy chking the order of ma pomfret for lunch when i heard this commotion .. it was a lazy saturday afternoon nd i had just gotten up abt 45 min back so was not so much into wat was happening around me .. neways i saw this set of 4 guys in blue uniforms running towards a red pulsar (my bike which i realized a few seconds later) ... suddenly from the shop i was in ... a group of ppl in maroon uniforms started waving and shouting loudly (these wer the waiters of the take away which i again realized a few seconds later) ...

So this set of blue uniformed fucks just got of the moving truck and quickly crossed the road but while this was happening the red uniformed saviors ;) wer on top of the situation (as again i realized a few seconds later) one of them realizing that the customer (ie me) hadn't grasped the reality of the situation .. took it upon him self to save the day (god bless him may he get a bik to do his deliveries instead of the cycle currently bestowed upon him) ... so this dude goes and sits on the bike and holds on to the handle like theres no tomorrow ... and just in the nick of time too .. the fucking blue vultures cowered back in to their fucked up truck which again continued on its journey @ 10 km per hour ...

To top it all .. me now partially aware of wat was happening rushed to my bik and seeing some random red uniformed guy sitting on my bik holding on to its handles, went on to hold the back of the bik with all the strength i was ready to shout at him ... but as the truck before me moved on with the blue dudes looking on with smug faces at us ... i realized that this was a waiter ... he was with the good guys ... I wanted to thank him ... but he lik a soldier acted as if it was nothing at all had happend and showed me their exclusive parking space behind a tree ... like a safe haven only for his customers ... i just went on and doubled my order

The battle was won but not the war ... tomorrow there will be another customer .. hopefully another savior ... Just another day at Vimannagar ... LOL

Bottom Line : Viman Nagar needs proper parking .. also has a lot of interesting shit happening all the tim ;)

Operation Black Tornado

The Taj ... Before the attack .. legend has it that once JRD Tata wasn't allowed to a 5 Star Hotel in Bombay cause of his race ... nd he came back to build the Taj Hotel in 1903 .. the best in India and amongst the top 5 in the world that time



A heritage site ... and now after the terrorist attack dis is what is being done to the vision of that man some thing that stood out the test of time so much so that when the new Taj was made the old one was kept as it is as a tribute to the vision of a man that in its tim was the symbol of what being an Indian meant







With it finally reopening today ... wat happened at the end of the whole cycle ... lets see Pakistan hasnt done any thing ... Politicians after a week of "solidarity" are back to "wondering" whether the ATS Chief was killed by people who wer involved with the Malegaon blasts (basically minority appeasement) .. the nerve of these people ... also the house of Major Unnikrishnan was compared to a dogs house within a day of his funeral ... people hav organized candle marches to show solidarity against terror (im with you without a candle march - Peace )
Masood Azhar who was placed under house arrest 2 weeks back by the government .. mite suddenly not even be in Pakistan ... And of course a certain Mr Antulay a union cabinet minister has to open his hole and let all of his frustrated minority vote bank politics come out ... Luckily atleast 2 of the best hotels in Bombay are reopenning ... I now feel that atleast the people who werent personally witness to the incident will feel a little peace ...

A little food for thought if the govt doesnt give a f***k about any one who dies in terror attacks .. insults the famil of someone who gave up his life for the country maybe instead of taking out candle marches people should just vote for a different government ...
