-----An Awesome movie experience!!! (Answer this kid's questions)-----

Last night I went for a movie with my friends at ‪#‎PVRKurla‬. We were all set for the movie & there was a man sitting beside me along with his son (around 6-7 yrs of age). The interesting part was that kid's first question while we were about to stand up for the ‪#‎nationalanthem‬. It goes like this!
Kid: Dad, why are we supposed to stand during #nationalanthem?
Dad: Respect towards our ‪#‎motherland‬ son 
The kid with confused expressions was quite during the anthem. Later, once the anthem was finished & we were about to enjoy the show, he comes up with another one.
Kid: Why is it played in ‪#‎theaters‬?
His father was speechless & so was I (cos even I dint had any answer to that question). But that's not all. He comes up with another googli/yorker.
Kid: Dad, only a few in this theater respect the anthem & not everyone (with a sad face).
Dad: (With a surprised expression) What makes you say that son?
Kid: While the anthem was going on, I saw that lady sitting cos she had all the eatables with her, that man sat way before the anthem was finished, that girl was doing something on the phone & that guy was & is still on the phone (He pointed his tiny little fingers towards a few). So basically only a handful of people were actually focused & stood in respect.
Hi father was again astonished with his queries but dint had anything to justify however he told him very politely with a smiling face...
Dad: My dear, they all did whatever they felt is right. No one can force you to stand during our anthem but if you love your country from your heart, you'll stand in respect whenever you hear our #nationalanthem 
The kid smiled & continued watching the movie but his questions had a point.
Either our national anthem should not be played at places where people treat it with disrespect OR wherever it is played, please leave your work aside, & give just 52 seconds of your precious time in respect to the land which gave us our identity. Respect can never come by force but by heart.

Why cant BJP and its supporters handle criticism?

Why can’t BJP & its supporters handle criticism? You are in power & it’s a democratic country. As a citizen of this diverse nation, we have the right to ask questions to the government & you’re obligated to answer us. Why do you have to defend yourself behind the excuse of Congress whenever we ask questions about the benefit of demonetization? Indeed it took us 60 years to realize that Congress was incompetent to run the country. Isn’t that the reason we gave an opportunity to you (with majority) in the first place? Why don’t you justify the after math of demonetization? The nation wants to know, after all those sacrifices, what have we achieved! We stood outside atm for days; 1.5 million lost their jobs; 2% downfall in GDP & 100+ martyrs outside the ATM/banks for the betterment of the country… We all accepted it assuming this is what it takes to become a corruption free country & at the end, it will be all worth it! You have asked for 50 days, we gave you a...

Dedicated to all those Hindus who wants Mandir & Muslims who wants Masjid on        "The disputed land - Ayodhya" I happened to meet Mr.Balraj Upadhyay (63) & Mr.Tabrez Farooqui (64) at a restaurant in Kurla. What made me to interact with them was the language they were using to communicate with each other. Balraj was speaking in one of the purest form on Hindi & likewise, Tabrez was using the best of Urdu. I was amazed to hear that they are friends for more than 50 years. Balraj, a Brahmin by caste & a Retd. Mechanical Engineer by profession whereas Tabrez is an Urdu writer & at times preaches Islam to the youth. They both looked simple & down-to-earth & were enjoying their tea until I interfered. I asked them if I could join, a straight look on their face followed by a smile which I presumed as an acknowledgement. I don't generally prefer to disturb anyone's privacy however the situation over here was different. It was rain...
