My favourite song from an upcoming movie "Gangs of Wasseypur"!
I have given the lyrics here in proper Devanagari. I am yet to know who wrote the lyrics.
Whatever, do listen to the songs. It has a very touching voice that runs very deep into your ears!
Cheers!
हमनी के छोड़ि के नगरिया ए बाबा
की आरे बाबा छोड़ि दिहले घर परिवार कवन बनवा माई गईली हो
आरे बाबा सूना कई के अंगना-दुआर, कवन बनवा माई गईली हो

Here is one of my favourite Bhojpuri song.
कवने खोतवा में लुकईलू अहि रे बालम चिड़ई, अहि रे बालम चिड़ई
बन-बन ढुंढ़ली दर दर ढुंढ़ली , ढुंढ़ली नदी के तीरे
सांझ के ढुंढ़ली, रात के ढुंढ़ली, ढुंढ़ली होत फजीरे
जन में ढुंढ़ली, मन में ढुंढ़ली, ढुंढ़ली बीच बजारे
पिया हिया में पैस के ढुंढ़ली, ढुंढ़ली बिरह के मारे
कोने अंतरे में समईलू अहि रे बालम चिड़ई

I do not understand why people use applications on the Facebook!!
Don't they know that these apps collect their personal information stored on their Facebook accounts and send them mails and so much of other craps come in with it.
People like me are wary of subscribing to any of such applications. So, if one of you send some message through an application and it does not display fully on my Facebook home page, I am sure that I am not going to see it.
Obviously, because if I click on the "See More" link, it asks me to divulge my personal info to it!!

Our Wonderful Quotocracy
by Pratap Bhanu Mehta
courtesy: Indian Express
There is a constitutional revolution underway. It has long been in the making. But its full logic is unfolding now. This new type of regime it will beget defies classification. It cannot be captured by the categories bequeathed by those who understood different regime types: Plato or Polybius, Aristotle or Kautilya, Montesquieu or Madison. This new regime is not a monarchy, aristocracy, republic or a democracy. It has its distinct identity, values and institutional frame. Behold all, the rise of Quotocracy! Experience the bliss that is this new dawn.
The principles behind quotocracy need to be carefully understood. It arises out of a democracy and often gets confused with it. But make no mistake. Quotocracy is distinct. A democracy values choice. Voters are free to elect whoever they wish. In a quotocracy, voters by turn are obliged to vote for someone with particular ascriptive characteristics. In a democracy, a general will is possible. In principle people can reason in terms that take all relevant reasons into consideration and are good for all. In a quotocracy, by definition there are only particular reasons and interests: men for men, women for women, caste for caste. A general will is a conceptual impossibility.
