OMG!!!
It has risen again, the serpent, the reservation issue, when is it going to croak. don't u think it should die off right now and forever, it has been living an indissoluble life. it has quaffed many a lives. this everybody can see but what has gone unnoticed is that everyday it has mugged up many a talents. It has disheartened people it has suppressed many talents even before their coming to the fore front, this happens every minute every where. Reservation is no welfare of the deprived, its just the juggling of votes by the politicians, they are bifurcating the people on the basis of their castes, it is even worse than the apartheid. It has brought up many fractions.
If the government wants to do something good for the deprived, it must impart them the education for free and it should be for everyone who is financially weak from every caste and creed. For the people from socially weak communities there can be fully free education, even the higher technical education and in jobs also but not on the caste basis. Women from such communities can be given special consideration, because its the women who change the whole face of the society. Some jobs can be marked specially for women. The reservation, should be given certain definite period of life, say fifty years, this will serve three generations. The Government, in the areas having high population of such communities should run short term job oriented courses.
Caste based reservation should be thrown out of practice immediately.

Me, Myself
Halo everybody!
One should know about the person whose views one is going read therefore I would like to introduce myself, my background, my brought-up. Would also love to share where the idea of jotting down my views and experiences came from. How did the name “NOMADIC CELEBRATIONS” came into existence. I would also love to talk about the people who have helped me to do the writing.
I am from a well renowned ex-jaagirdar Rajput family, with a great lineage. I am a RATHORE Rajput, one of the most highly rated warrior clans of the world. My forefathers have made a mark in the history and the living kin are doing the same in the current scenario. My father is retired senior government officer. My family constitutes highly ranked government officials to peons, generals to sepoys, intellectuals to plagiarismists like me, international players to operators of casinos, doctors, engineers, chartered accountants, policemen……. The list goes on. We have witnessed and practised democracy in our family to the highest level despite being a jaagirdar family we sit on one jaajam (mat) which is still something uncommon in the erstwhile jaagirdar families, our women have been out of the purdah (veil) for ages can sit with father-in-law on the dining table and even can converse, this is still not common in the commoner Rajput families, but the foremost rule of the family is to respect Thakur sahib (my father), elders, women and help the needful.
I always wanted to write and have the criticism, discuss my views with people but it remained as an idea for long as I am not able to express my views as am not onto intellectual side or creative, I am a great example of plagiarism, but always wanted to make myself heard. Sometimes people used to tell me I should write as I travel a lot, have some knowledge of Rajput history and gardening and a very adamant set of views which can be very unacceptable as they have flair of arrogance. My brother-in-law Pradeep Singh persuaded me to write and he suffered through my plagiarismatic art as I have taken this name “NOMADIC CELEBRATIONS” from his blog name “NOMADIC CEREBRATIONS”, I don’t know about his idea behind the name but I do have a reason behind the name of the blog, my forefathers in my lineage have never settled in one place for more than two generations and I myself am very nomadic in a way, almost always on the move, specially traveling intra-city even intra-state.
My little friend Yatin has done the blog for me. He is the one who has done every bit in this blog designed it registered it everything. I really thank Pradeep Singh and Yatin for making my dream come true.
I am a nature lover by heart. I feel if we go by a simple rule; plant a tree, for every head, in our family, this should be done personally other than the government effort, if any, the problem of imbalance in nature is solved. I love gardening for this very attribute. My garden has been in development phase for quite sometime for some or the other reason but now it is taking its final shape. I have a good collection of bulbous and rhizomatous plants; gladioli, hippeastrum, tuberose, day lilly, gloriosa superba and many others. I think I have one of the best collections of hippeastrum (amaryllis lilly) as an amateur.
Photography is my other ardour. I shoot anything natural and think that photographs should not be worked upon as they loose their beauty; i.e. their originality, the vision behind the picture is lost.
All my interests are fulfilled by my fanaticism for off-road motor sport. When we go for motor sports we are in direct contact with nature as we spend most of our day in the wild. The animals hopping grazing around it’s a delectable experience. One feels can he be like them, the animals, or they should decently be addressed as beautiful creatures, they live peacefully till there is a certain face-off with the ultimate truth of the world, the DEATH (not life this is my perception and cannot discuss this here), without any foul play, just enjoying one’s surroundings and living on whatever the mother nature has provided. The effect is such soothing and very questioning at the same time why do we run around for material things as to live a life is not that difficult, why cant we live without hatred and greed. One must think about this, earning money buying the luxuries is not life. The survival of nature is getting tougher day by day, or should I say we are making it tougher. At least we can stop abusing it and do a little bit of tinkering which we can afford to do easily and without taxing our purses heavily. I enjoy the nature and shoot pictures of the wild and the real India, the rural India. The rallies teach us a lot. One learns to be disciplined, punctuality, importance of time, prioritise the chores and above all the team work.
So friends this is me. I felt this is very important to let you know how I am, the column “about me” is a much avoided thing, nobody wants to go through that column, just want to read what one has written. I think now after knowing me you will be able to perceive my perception.
