condemning system alone will never help...............Alok

Dear Residents of TPS 3,

I am aware that all of us want to live in a green , beautiful,
peaceful , secure and modern neighborhood. Far from that our area does
not have even basic civic amenities, no security and no hope ????

Am I right?

Pl. understand what fails us: Supposing I start a factory and appoint
one manager but does not bother to monitor, motivate , check or audit
and if required whip then you know what will be fate of my business.
And on the top of it If just abuse him then will he be even loyal and
faithful to me or will like to meet me with enthusiasm?

Similarly, let us compare our area as ancillary industry and nation as
a huge industry. To run it smoothly we need to motivate our staff, to
achieve higher targets we need to give them incentives, to make them
loyal we need to celebrate Dussehra and Diwali together and give them
bonus and etc etc . In short now a days we even take care fully our
maids , car drivers too well as we realize their importance. But we
ignore our elected representatives.

Once anyone is elected from our area then he is ours. We have to
forget his caste, political party or other issues as we don't want to
antagonize and spoil chances of progress of our area. Or do we???

If we don’t show our face to our elected rep. and he does not show us
his face then that is a dangerous situation where progress , security
of our area suffers.

TO THAT END SOME OF ENLIGHTENED CITIZENS OF THIS AREA HAVE GOTTEN
TOGETHER AND CALLED A FELLOWSHIP MEETING WITH OUR ELECTED MUNICIPAL
CORPORATOR MRS MAHADESHWAR AND EX CORPORATOR SHRI MAHADESHWAR. LET US
BRIDGE THE GAP AND ONCE WE ARE SUCCESSFUL IN THAT THEN I AM SURE YOU
WILL FIND DEFINITE CHANGE ( FOR BETTER) IN SHORT TIME.

OUR FOLDED HAND REQUEST IS TO ATTEND THIS MEET IN LARGE NUMBERS AND IN
GRACEFUL AND CHEERFUL MOOD. IT IS LIKE LAYING FOUNDATION STONE OF NEW
PROJECT.

Details of Meeting are:

Time and Date: 7.30 pm on Saturday, 4th May 2013

At : Marigold Hall, Tholiya Bhavan, 10th Rd., Santacruz East, Mumbai 400055

Menu: Tea and snacks

WILL YOU, YES I AM SURE YOU WILL WITH MANY OTHERS WILL ATTEND AS YOU
WANT TO SEE YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD AS BRIGHT AND RADIANT AS ANY OTHER
MODERN CITY IN WORLD.

Our slackness and condemning system alone when we meet each other on
way has never helped and will never help.

Hope to see you all ,

TPS3 vibrant citizens,

M/s. Paresh Vora, Davis Joseph, Venus Datta, Tushar Dedhia, Ranjan

Vijaykar, Shailesh Mistry Alok Tholiya, Ankit Bajari, Anurag Sharma,

my comment on face book on being happy...

My comment.....must read and send/ share to others......and write ur comments too..

Alok Tholiya But most ppl believe in only loving them selves and thus forget doing good, forgiving even parents, are hardly positive, harm others by deeds and actions, ........sorry state....but this is kaliyug where all good mantras and teachings are learnt only till it furthers own cause, satisfies own ego, aims to achieve on goals even if it means walking on innocent beings( see what most professional, police, govt officers, politicians do everyday to suffering lot) . So all teachings including above are misused.

Santosh Jain shared Kanakmal Jain Sanghavi's photo.

An apology from the rest of us.....atleast one Arab apologises ..has heart and guts

There r many cases where one of our own hurts / misbehaves with person
from other community. Not many folks apologise like this. If one or
many from own community get up like this Arab did then healing can be
faster and relationship betweens communities can improve.

An apology from the rest of us

I was going through comments from expatriates when I came upon a story
that turned my stomach upside down. In the comments, an expatriate
executive working for one of the leading banks in Jeddah described an
incident that happened to him and his wife at the hands of a Saudi
couple while they were out shopping for groceries at a supermarket in
Jeddah.

In his own words to the supermarket management (edited): “We regularly
visit this supermarket for grocery shopping and on this particular
date we had completed the grocery shopping and my wife, with the kids,
went to a checkout counter while I was getting the vegetables tagged.
After that I joined my wife who was already in the queue and was
putting her stuff on the counter for checkout.

“Behind her was a Saudi lady who pushed her cart forward preventing me
from putting the tagged vegetables in my hand on the counter. My wife
politely told her ‘I am in a queue and he’s my husband and this is our
stuff,’ to which the Saudi lady replied, ‘shut up and leave, this is
our country’. My wife replied, ‘Sorry, we are not leaving, we are
already in the queue.’

“There was a heated verbal exchange between my wife and her after
which the Saudi lady grabbed my wife’s wrist and told her: ‘Hit me,
you will hit me?’ to which my wife, slightly taken aback by this
reaction, replied, ‘Sorry, why should I hit you?’

“Meanwhile, the Saudi woman’s husband who was standing behind her also
jumped into the argument. I told him that if ‘the women are arguing,
why are you jumping into it? Instead we should try to solve the
problem and get going.’ He then started quarreling with me
unnecessarily. During the loud exchange of heated words, no one from
the superrmarket management or security came to resolve the issue.

“We were finally able to complete our checkout and I was about to
complete the transaction by taking out my card to pay the bill, but
again that lady for no reason at all started shouting, ‘quickly,
quickly’ in Arabic. I asked her to be patient as we are doing it as
quickly as we could, but again the husband jumped into the situation
and started quarreling with me.

“My wife grabbed my hand to say let’s just go, and at that moment the
Saudi man pushed my wife which really was too much to bear. I was
angry with him and shouted at him, ‘How dare you touch my wife!’ At
that moment two or three other men, apparently all Saudis, grabbed and
restrained me while the Saudi husband was still shouting at my wife.
My wife told the man, ‘How dare you push me?’ and he shoved her again
and this time so hard that my younger son fell to the floor and my
wife’s foot was injured and sprained badly.

“During the whole scenario nobody from the supermarket came to our
rescue and I was loudly pleading for security or the police as that
guy was now getting openly physical. My wife was all tears. Finally
someone from the store called security who took us to their offices. I
demanded that either the police are called to see the CCTV footage of
the incident or this man apologize to us. After some time, the
security let the man and his wife go while his wife continued yelling
at us that this was her country. I asked the security officer if he
had taken the man’s ID details to which he shrugged and replied ‘why?’

“We then went back to the supermarket to speak to the management and
asked why they did not interfere as the whole episode happened on
their premises. To this the manager explained that they had the whole
footage of the incident and if we requested the police or their higher
management then they could provide us the recording. However, he
implied that it would be futile as everyone will favor Saudi’s version
rather than give a fair hearing. I was devastated.
“I feel that the management owes us an apology for the unnecessary
humiliation. We are bringing this to your notice as now we are
somewhat traumatized to go to any supermarket as there is no guarantee
that such an incident would not happen against the expat community.
Signed — A.K.A.”

A similar incident befell an American lady married to a Saudi last
year in Riyadh, and at the hands of Saudis.

The comments by the expatriate said that “all the negative press over
the past few months in the local news has escalated this problem and
Saudis feel more hostile to the expatriates. The expatriates have
become Saudi Arabia’s scapegoats! Maybe this hatred is also an
indication of underlying issues and a way of people expressing their
frustrations.”

Perhaps it is so, but that in itself is no excuse for such despicable
behavior. The expatriates are our guests and should be treated with
utmost hospitality. There was no justification for such unprovoked
behavior on the part of the Saudi couple, or on the other Saudi males
who just stood by watching.

And if the supermarket management fails to apologize to this
expatriate and to his wife for the trauma they went through, then let
me be the first among many Saudis to offer my personal apologies. Such
rude behavior is certainly not within most of us.

Simple things r difficult to those who r not simple at heart

When I complained about newer charges levied on surprise basis by banks my bank replied that: Having reviewed the email v r unable to understand your complaint:

Simple things r difficult to those who r not simple at heart. Crooked minds and hearts only know to use their power and authority to exploit and suck blood of others.

If I was in place of present M.D. :

1. I would evaluate whether I really need extra profits.

2. Why I need extra profits.

3. Who are going to be benefitted with this additional income?

3. Who are going to be affected by newer and newer charges?

4. Then I will consult those getting affected. Then reevaluate.

5. If there r no justification then no new charges will be levied by me and atleast not unilaterally and secretly.

6. If my heart and soul are convinced to levy newer charges then I will educate the parties getting affected, convince them and as far as derive consensus by statistical reasoning.

7. Finally I will obtain the affected parties written consent to new charges.

But present days bankers, various service providers ( cable, DTH,telephone,electricity, taxi, milk, hospitals, colleges etc) are white collar dacoits they don't brandish guns and do not live in chambal but use RBI, IRDA,DOT, electricity board, finance ministry, transport ministry and loot us and live in 5 star comforts of AC cabins and palatial apartments while we poor citizens struggle and sweat to pay these goons.

Shame on parliament, courts,media and so called intellectuals keep silence while common men suffer.

Thanks and Regards,
