…phew…your effort to increase fellow dilli-wala’s maiden hit-count is so very transparent;)

Rozaiba:

I agree, the topic is a bit India centric. That`s why I wanted to give some background. The Mandal Commission report recommended reservations for certain castes which were determined to be at a socio-economic disadvantage. The implementation of the recommendations led to agitation in Delhi and other parts of India.

The Rath Yatra was a movement started by ``great`` LK Advani to drum up support for Ram Mandir aka BJP.

Molko:

I`m glad the years you spent studying Rapidex English Speaking Course paid off. BTW, I passed.

Dulla Bhatti:

Kiddan. I have emailed Samina a couple of times so she knows who I am. You were in Delhi in 1984? I was in 7th grade, and were given halfday after we found out she had been shot. I remember hoping that she dies, becoz we would get more holidays.

:)

Tussi wee kaddi email bhej do ...pvohra@yahoo.com

Did I write Stuka for Mr. Vohra`s article? Sorry, must be a mistake.

Harimau:

``I for one am glad that the policemen gave the author a sound thrashing.``

Me too. Put me on the straight and narrow for a couple of weeks.

Sadna:

You`re right on the money..the Mandal thing basically blended into the Mandar movement, even though the underlying steps had been taken. I thought the article would have been way too long though if I wrote about the Rath Yatra as well.

RSaxena:

Hotties. The nerdies do Zoology Honors. :)

Aamir / Narain / Prem:

Glad you guys enjoyed reading it.

Aamir, you have a point about student unions ultimately not being that important. Delhi is a bit different because of it`s visibility.

Prem, who are the people you know? I remember Avdesh Sharma from the ABVP was there. And Sushmita Deb, was a classmate in school, and she became president of Miranda College. I have no connections with Karnal BTW :)

Narain, u a Delhite? What school?

Samina

Thanks. I`m afraid the piece is bit Delhi centri, which is why I was doubtful if it would be suitable for Chowk. Decided to go ahead and submit in any case.

Soundmeister:

`` A lazy good-for-nothing who proudly proclaims that it was promises of spin-doctoring (horse-trading is a more apt term if you ask me) that got you into university AFTER connections failed to work, you THEN has the temerity to protest the Mandal reservations, which even if they were unfair at least were made in a spirit of affirmative action and social justice. People like you, who have seen nothing but the easy way, the short-cut, the queue-busting all their lives are the reason why our country can`t get itself out of its sh1t.``

Dude, you have no idea how much work it is to actually make connections work for you. In any case, I went there for a year, quit in disgust and actually had to give a competitve exam (without connections) to go somewhere better. Even scum is reedemable y`know.

``I hope you live in Boston forever and never come back. We are much better off without you.``

Er, who`s we?

``As for the para I quoted, it`s just as an example of your pathetic attempts at injecting humour into a deadly serious thing like the Goswami sacrifice.``

Dude, now you are being an idiot. The Goswami thing was not a sacrifice. It was a publicity stunt that went wrong. Other`s who did the same thing, yes those were sacrifices, and I inject no humor about them.

``People like you -- the hangers-on of our society, the drunken brats who drive Daddy`s BMW over innocent pavement dwellers, the moneysoaked raveparty freaks who go around shooting women who refuse to sleep with you, the cocaine sniffers at 5000 bucks a snort --- are happily missed. ``

Erm, again, you are so caught up in your outrage, that you are not seeing things right. If I had a BMW, or was capable of sniffing cocaine worth 5000 a pop, you think I`d be hanging around some stupid south campus college brown nosing people to get in? Nah!! I was at best a middle class kid, trying to make it in the world on the advantages I had at the time. The kind of people you talk about give a couple of Lakhs to get into Hindu college, that is, IF they study in India at all.

Lighten up my man!! and yes, I do take your post in the right spirit :)

“Our College President had run away on a motorcycle at the first sign of trouble A La Mullah Omar, and the cops had no idea where he was. As we waited, a crowd of students gathered outside the Thana, shouting slogans against Police brutality and asking for donations from passing motorists. The president of the ABVP (the party, not the union itself) came in to the police station, demanding our release, and carrying a huge bag of bananas for us. The cops were in a foul mood by then, so they took the bananas, slapped him around in full view of us, and then took him upstairs for “special treatment”. We could soon hear the sounds of the special treatment coming down and that terrified us even more. The cops then decided that they would not arrest us, but would teach us a lesson in civic courtesy before letting us go. The civic lesson constituted our being made to lie down face down and rub our noses on the ground. All this, while we were whacked by lathis on the backside. While rubbing our noses on the cold floor, we also had to say, “Mai Public Property damage nahin karunga”.

….lol…so tell me, could the policewallahs be bribed with apples, oranges etc. too?….or did they have a special affinity for bananas?….

Dear YLH # 10 . . .where does it say anywhere that chowk.com is a Pakistani site? Or for that matter, an Indian site? Or a site that is here to discuss Jinnah/Nehru, Kashmir/Kashmir, Military Rule/Democracy . . . cricket, movies, humour . . . girls, boys, sex, poetry?

Chowk is as ``only Pakistani`` as Hamdani or Malik is a Pakistani or Indian surname.

warm regards,

Veeresh

To the author:

``From that day on, as the agitation steadily worsened, with Rajeev Goswami and others immolating themselves in protest, my mission remained clear. Have fun, make money, but do not put yourself in danger.``

Vohra,

I hope you can feel the revulsion that is boiling inside of me for you and your ilk. A lazy good-for-nothing who proudly proclaims that it was promises of spin-doctoring (horse-trading is a more apt term if you ask me) that got you into university AFTER connections failed to work, you THEN has the temerity to protest the Mandal reservations, which even if they were unfair at least were made in a spirit of affirmative action and social justice. People like you, who have seen nothing but the easy way, the short-cut, the queue-busting all their lives are the reason why our country can`t get itself out of its sh1t. I hope you live in Boston forever and never come back. We are much better off without you.

As for the para I quoted, it`s just as an example of your pathetic attempts at injecting humour into a deadly serious thing like the Goswami sacrifice. People like you -- the hangers-on of our society, the drunken brats who drive Daddy`s BMW over innocent pavement dwellers, the moneysoaked raveparty freaks who go around shooting women who refuse to sleep with you, the cocaine sniffers at 5000 bucks a snort --- are happily missed.

I hope you take this in the right spirit, mate. You ARE scum, you know.

Cheers

ref: replies 1 and 2:

Hey, How`d you guys know that Parag is Stuka?



I have the same question. How come it was such a public information and I never heard about it.

Brother Vohra...naah I will stick with Stuka..:-)..does not it feel like a dream..I mean those university days and all those agitations, bands, harhtaals, dharnas, bus roko, rickshaw roko, rail roko, Tanga roko..etc etc roko etcs...

The day Indira Gandhi was killed I spent the night in a police station.....it was really cold particularly early in the morning but luckily only a few days ago they had captured a truck load of ``Bhukki``...all that was stored in the veranda where we were kept...so as the night passed we cuddled with the boris of bhukki closer and closer...it was the only warm thing besides thanedaar sahib`s danda...which we heard working on few of us..I was luckily spared...

Failed your high school exams and bribed your way into college, depriving some deserving student of a place. And you have the cheek to be smart arsed about it. Utterly pathetic.

By the way, the word is ``guarantee``, not

``guaranty``. No wonder you flunked your exams.

DU has changed.

In the `70s, people hung about, did theatre, and went to Naxalbari. Bus pass 12.50, few bikes, no cars.

In the `80s, nobody knows what people did. Bus pass 12.50, more bikes, few cars.

In the `90s, people did Mandal, then got into the IAS. Bus pass 12.50, fewer bikes, some cars.

Now, all they want to do is MBA or ``compootur``. Bus pass free, very few bikes, lots of cars and no more parking space.

Is this a deliberate attempt by the `Chowk` staff to shake of Chowk`s Pakistani character?
