Perfume has reached : Hotel "RAWANDA"

sorry guys,

Perfume was the topic suggested to me but the case that i am referring to much more important than to have a write up over imaginary things!!!!

************************************************************************************

Hotel Rawanda : forget it, now remember : Hotel Golf
************************************************************************************

Date : 18/12/2010
Place: Abidjan
Country: Ivory Coast

Part I: Ivory Coast :

"somewhere on the other side of the globe,where the sand is as brighter as ours is, where people are the same as we are, where one third population stays below poverty line as ours is.......................................People are tortured, massacred and life is everywhere on streets in the form of blood, flesh ......

I am talking about Ivory Coast, small african country which is on the verge of another civil uprising again.
A country which earned its freedom in 1960 from french claws! Led by Mr.Houphouët-Boigny who ruled as president from independence in 1960, managed the balance of ethnic mix and religious sentiments of the ethnic groups cleverly and changed the face of this small african nation. Ivory Coast was the most developed african nation by the end of 70s with huge exports of cocoa, coffee. will you believe, Ivory Coast maintained its economic growth rate at 10% for 2 decades from 1960 to 1980. But it was followed by draught & further dissent which crippled the agriculture led economic growth and resulted in huge inflation and uprising of opposition. The old & feeble president died in 1993, & thus the one-time African success story was fraying at the edges.
The void space infuriated clashes over the succession for the presidential post!!!

Part II: Who's Who?

1) Laurent Gbagbo : Culprit

The president, a former history professor, became one of the first politicians to challenge the country’s first president, Félix Houphouët-Boigny. Imprisoned in the 1970s, he later lived in exile in France. In a hotly contested election in 2000 he ousted coup-maker Robert Guei. Repeated delays to planned polls allowed him to remain in office long after his term expired in 2005.

Illegally positioned himself as president from 2005 till date and has defied all attempts of international community to bring in peace in the nation.

2)Charles Blé Goudé : Butcher with Brain

One of Laurent Gbagbo’s most notorious supporters, Mr Blé Goudé’s Jeune Patriotes militia is able to draw thousands of armed men on to the streets. Mr Blé Goudé, who is known for his anti-French and anti-immigrant rhetoric, & his ability to rage anger against the non-ivorian ethnic groups, is under UN sanctions for his role in organising and leading anti-French and anti-northerner violence in the country in 2004.
He is the main aide in the problem.

3) Alassane Ouattara : Waiting for Justice
Former economist at the International Monetary Fund who served as prime minister 1990-93. A Muslim from the north, Mr Ouattara was barred from contesting elections after a court ruled that his mother was a Burkina Faso national. Draws support from northern region still held by rebels since the 2002-03 civil war and almost universally acknowledged abroad as the rightful president following last month’s polls.

Part III: Hotel Rawanda coming again!!!

U remeber, movie Hotel Rawanda in which Paul Rusesabagina (played Don Cheadle), the manager of the Sabena Hôtel des Mille Collines. the manager saves lives of people trapped inside the hotel which was surrounded by Hutu rebels who were searching Tutsi refugees to kill, or to massacre.
On the same line, there is a hotel in the city of Abidjan which is giving refuge to the presidential candidate Mr.Alassane Ouattara.
Name of the hotel is "Hotel Golf" http://www.golfhotel-ci.com/default_en.aspx

As per the reports that arrived yesterday, some 600 UN peace keeping soldiers were guarding the hotel from the militia of the president. As a precautionary measure they had put up razor wires all around the hotel & put up a tank at one of the corner of the hotel to retaliate any onslaught from rebel militias.....

Part IV: Are we expecting something ?

Nicolas Sarkozy, has tried his best, UN, USA are going to put up sanctions over Ivory Coast. Robert Mugabe tried to intermediate in the fray but failed. Entire african nations & the international community wants peace there...........wants the situation to be placated asap but is this possible?

Answer is in the future & which is uncertain.....Lets Hope for the Best!!!!

as it is said for the Ivory Coast warriors :
" It’s in their core: to fight to the death "
............
can it be changed as
"Don't fight, Live & Let Live!!!!

I wana kill Ayon for this topic, gone is 60 sec???

hmmmm....what can i think of in next 60 sec...time starts now...

binu......phew...!!!(i could write this much in 60 sec, sad)

anyways, i will keep 6 mins in my kitty & feel it as 60 sec...

"it all started yesterday, with Manish Raghuvanshi...he has a basic problem of
something or everything stopping in his esophagus that is the food pipe, while gulping.
so we went to Aditya Birla Hospital for check up and endoscopy!

so all set for a hospital ride? yeah!

" Manish was given a small robe to wear before the process and then i was told that
its a matter of mints and it will finish off in 5-6 mins..i said OKK!

then the wait started, 5 mins, 15 mins, 25 mins............45 mins & phew, then after i lost counts............finally i asked the ward boy the whereabouts of Manish.
he replied in marathi, "aato re baba, 5 mins aur!!!
Finally, manish arrived,
almost unconscious, with oxygen pipe in nose & blood on the bed-sheet!!!!

i was amazed to see this and certainly worried about him,i was expecting him in better condition than this, he eyes were scantily open with loads of weary stretches over face as if he is in much pain......

i asked how are you,?

with little smile he answered,
"Buss Jaaan le hi lee thi, kisi terah se bachh gaya"

hmmmm, then there was a big laugh in the room!!!

you know, if you can smile in pain, you are the conquerer of the world..!
i mean it, alexander dint had this quality so he lost!!!!

************************************* *********************************************
finally we were done with all......returned back to base ie, Hostel and i came back with some teachings, lessons:

"Never believe in time"
when it says, 6o sec, it may be 60 mins !
so, keep in mind, if you allow time to dive you, you are gone...so try to bend time according to your wish!!

Learn to stand tall, when it is difficult to stand!

***********************************************************************************

finally will take another 60 sec to finish up things,

pakka i will write something good and will be prepared for the next topic!

Writer's Block "can we break this Blockade?"...asks Vinod

Hi guys,

First of all, I apologize for my late response to the first topic....the reasons are many :

1. I was not well.
2. My lappi crashed.
3. I was upset with my galfriend going out for a movie, without me!!
4. I was not ready with some stuffs to put up here...........phew so many!!!!

Actually,

I am a laggard, lethargic and lazyness personified!!!!

well come back to "Writer's Block"!!!!

Comeon lets see, few headlines in newspaper for different places:

A) New Delhi
"18 year old gal, abducted and gang raped in a moving car in Mongolpuri area".

B) Pune
"Lady on a business conference in Lonavala, raped by the worker of Resort"

C) Pune
" MBA student from Balaji Society committed suicide last night"

hmmmm...........interestingly all incidents were related to gals!!!

sadly, in a country where Godesses are worshipped, where the source of power, source of education, source of wealth all are governed by Godeses......certainly its a
shame for our so called civic society!!

now lets see what was the difference between all three incidents:

Case I: New Delhi

"A gal was on the way to pick her mother from a factory in Mongolpuri industrial area alongwith her friend. Few drunk guys were going by their car n they put up ugly comments to her. she revokes against and finally an angry exchange of words happens.
then the guys decide to punish her!

the punishment is more than the Extreme Punishment....ie, RAPE!!!

I am so happy to see that those boys were brave and had guts to punish that gal....& i will come back to them at the end of this writeup.!

Case II : Pune/ Lonavala

A business executive visits a resort in Lonavala for business conference and interestingly, was allegedly raped by the workers over there.....

Kudos to workers who taught a lesson to that Lady who came over there alone for a meeting!!!

Case III: Balaji Inst/Pune

A young lady commits suicide because she was out of placements as her attendance was short....

Interesting case, suicide coz you are Red listed from placements, cool.......kudos to her brave effort!!!

************************************************************************************

Moral of the story so far:

a) Gals, believe it or not, Pune is as dangerous as Delhi is!!!

b) Bloody boys from Delhi/Pune donot have courage to face the challenges of life, so
to ease off frustration, targeting gals??? what a crap....God save us!!

I just believe, the convicts should not be put up behind bars, but actually they should be given capital punishment or even worse to put up an example!!!

c) Gals, dont be crazy behind money, getting job after MBA is not the end of it, but this is start of life...

everybody cant have a jump start straightaway.......but there are instances that once you ride the steep slope, you get the most gentle surface to walk upon!!!!

so keep your morale high.............be stronger!!!!

Advice to Management Instt......."Grow up guys,,,,don't act as a jailor but as a mentor who guides to success not suicides"

*************************************************************************************

All above instances, have shattered me, they blocked my head for a moment due to rush of thoughts!!!!

BUt, now the blockade is broken,,,,,,n my mind is free to abuse the convicts, f**k them up!!!! (sorry)

N i want all gals to feel free to roam, free to smile without fear!!!!!
