After n no. of advertisements and promos, I see a disclaimer on the INOX screen that says - ” Mumbai has been called as Bombay here and there in the movie, if it hurts your sentiments, its completely unintentional. Mumbai is an INTEGRAL part of this movie. “

My heart skipped a beat when i read the - Mumbai is an integral part of this movie! I was all the more excited about the movie on the bigscreen!. ( Ever since I have started work, I enjoy watching just about any movie on big screen with Popcorn and Pepsi! )

My stay in Mumbai was one of the best phases of ALL my life. I attributed it to - the feeling of being independent, responsible and freedom. And everytime I read about ‘Mumbai’ or see places of ‘Mumbai’ in the movies..there is always a feeling that somehow fills all the voids within.

And I realised today that its not the place or the part where I got to live on my own that makes me feel that way but .. the friends I had made in mumbai and also another special person with whom I shared my stories from mumbai…be it describing a weird looking rock that I had discovered on my way back from work or my experience cooking my first pulav!

That feeling which fills all the spaces so perfectly would not have been there if not for all of you…

Snippets of the documentary - Encountered on the Saffron Agenda.

See this video and then you’ll know for yourself how brutal humans can be and still get away with it. Why would anybody shoot a female between the legs in a so called ‘encounter’.

Does somebody have answers for all the questions raised by the families/friends of the ones that have been sacrificed for political motives of the corrupt leaders?

Encountered by Saffron (a)Genda

Just off from a 100 odd minute documentary on the ‘Gujarat Fake Encounter Controversy’. For those of you, who are not familiar with the incident - The Gujarat Police killed a couple of innocent Muslims over a period of 3-4 years starting in 2002 on a false allegation of planning to assasinate Modi and claimed that they belonged to the LeT terrorist group.

‘Encountered on saffron agenda’ is a brilliant documentary that brings to light the facts behind these encounter killings and the fake documents to prove that the falsely alleged belonged to the terrorist group. The documentary showcases all the loopholes in these strategically planned murders.

The train a Mr. Sameer Khan had took to Pakistan for  LeT training didnot go on the date mentioned in the police documents. Neither did the hotel that he stayed in Nepal exist. Ishrat Jahan, another claimed terrorist, was raped by the police and was shot in seven different places to eliminate all evidence of rape that might show up in the Post-mortem report.

I feel ashamed of all the politicians - so called ‘leaders’ , who take advantage of their power and treat fellow humans like guinea pigs for their little experiment called ‘Elections’.

Is it really that difficult to feel a tad bit of compassion towards other humans? So what if they follow other belief system or religion..at the end of the day..we have all come from the same source..the same universe.

The saffron color in the Indian National Flag symbolises sacrifice and salvage of the leaders who have given all they could for the independence of the nation..

And most of the present day leaders are salvaging innocent people for power and their own selfish political victories and have changed what saffron color in our flag actually reprents.

My heart goes to families of the ones encountered by the saffron genda (flag in hindi, and the color of flag of the political party that has been ruling Gujarat for a very long time now)

All you terrorists out there and corrupt leaders - Cant you pause for a moment and think of your loved ones before you take away ours?
