Best wishes to our country and democracy for third phase of election(107 seats)...I hope People will vote for right leadership....and PrimeMinistership....I have w ritten about my PM choice for PM post.....and csk match...yesterday match was very good....best wishes to CSK and Advaniji....Rajnath singhji is looking upset...should not...feel good sir!!Best wishes. Jo hoga accha hi hoga.

All the teams in the IPL matches playing well. I am supporting Deccan chargers (Sudhirji's Asian Age has collaboration with Deccan Chronicle, so his cartoons get published also in DC (Hydrabad)daily...owner is the same, they won only one match last year....this year till now they won all of which they played..) and Dhoni's CSK, last year ...whether its loses or win...at times every one need a jhataka...Shock laga kya??? Dhoni and Bhajji did wrong by skipping Padamshree award function...I don't Know why???? Got people's unneccessary criticism. But my support and best wishes are always with them as I don't know why but I believe in them the way I believe in Chinu or Sudhirji. Yesterday I saw Mandira and other Anchors interviewing many Dhoni's fans in South Africa....who were saying he is always in our thoughts...good to see...(last year they won initial four matches)......I think he and his team need prayers of these kind of hardcore cricket supporters. Vaise they have lost two matches with very less margin....

I have a full praise for many other cricketers and players of different games from different countries...past, present...but do feel special bond with some of them Sachin, Dhoni....lagta hai restedar lagte hain, as they say. (As they think I protect or defend Dhoni)... Beta to bana liya, Damad banane ko ladka doonde rehe hain.....this time I am not joking...I have mentioned this at home ,though I have not discussed this very seriously with other members of my family, for that I need dulha's assurence first(signal). By the way I tried Gandhigiri in MSDhoni's blog...I told them my defination of LOVE, when you love someone with their qualities and flaws...and it applies on any kind of love...love for people, or entire humanity...not only boy and girl.....But I wish log hawa ke saath bah na jaye...rukh badlne ki bhi shamata banayein'....I don't want to live in controversies...neither interesteted in spreading it....not only Dhoni but others stars name is also linked with others....fake,unreal,or real as half of the time what gossip says turn out to be wrong....or Tv shows him somewhere else(mumbai or chennai...busy in meetings or promoting other products....so,whom to believe!!!)....to be in charcha even ordinary people(not only big stars) create mangaranth BF's or GF's....Hum per to bahut marte hain...ya hum to prince charming hain...I am not trying to justify anyone's act but writing the reality....Even my near and dear one's Rajesh(dewar) or Sudhirji's name was linked(in charcha)few years back as they were doing some projects with others but atleast I know those stories were mangaranth....so I want to end these stories here only. We all are happy together.

Just now I saw Headlines Today...discussing Mr. Modi's comment...why he never said sorry,as Mr.MM singh said for 84 riots. Mr.Prabhu Chawla was analizing Mr.Modi's point of view but forgotton to tell main point that it was Atalji just after losing 2004 election said, Gujrat ka danga was kala dhabba on our country...I saw him (on TV) crying in Manali..what does that mean? Abhi mein jaldi mein hun I can give many more examples. I think people should give importance to VIKAS AND VIKASPURUSH...

Newz of the death of AAKRITI is really ....sad.

price rise and inflation...biggest problem in day to day life

No one is talking about price rise of saman used in day to day life...today no sabzi is less then 25 or 30rs a kilo.

Nice to see song of Kamalhasan's new film 'Dasavatar'..'Pujo to bhagvan hai, na Pujo to Pashan'....Its an Itafaq...This is the way I defined Dharm...Its our believe in something or kartavya for someone...as vaishnavs do seva of pathar ki murthi and because of their believe in it Pashan become god...which we called Pranprathista.

Today we are going for poll for 140 seats...this may be decisive phase for this election...Yesterday I was watching talk on some channel, Do Mr.Advaniji can become PM? That only time will say, we have to wait till next month....but as we have seen reports that NDA has not given tickets to candidates asked money for asking questions in parliament...other party has...their are many incidents which show NDA still has more credibility...L.K.Advaniji has clean image, firmness, 50yrs of experiences...he is man of words...he usually try to do what he say(if its in his hand)....quite unbaised...If he praised Pakistani Kayde Azam Mr.Jinnah in Pakistan...I believe, and as he said...his intention was to bridge little bit gap of hatred spelled in last 60yrs...He is not a 'Deshdrohi' just becoz he praised Mr.Jinnah...If it is so then Half of the world should break the ties with Britain as they ruled us and everything what they did was not very great....People and Leaders has to start from somewhere?

Its not that he is anti other religions just becoz he went for Rath Yatra...as he was the one behind Atalji's(a statesman) many other decisions(everyone know)which we called soft or libral...People know the History and Ideology of the party, Advaniji never tried to hide it...people need to know and accept the fact...before choosing them, but today what choices we have...We are not choosing between 'Muslim League' or 'RSS'...RSS is not a political party...but just a parental organization...If he takes consent(even Atalji used to take)...its different, per sarkar vaise nahi chalti, we have a Parliamentry process, they have proved it in last tenure and if they will get a chance....I am sure they will do it again....I think we are Hindu bahul country(majority),even this is a reality...and hindu sanskriti has absorbed all other sanskritis and sabhyatayein...so please if someone is trying to bridge the hatred pool now, created by outsiders...and left behind what was not good for humanity(as religious riots happened in every parties tenure, so iss Hammam mein sabhi nange hain)...they should get the chance....I once again emphasise on the point that love for own caste and religion and region should
not become 'Kattar' point for casting once vote...One should vote for leaders standing on the all round devolopmental issues...their previous work,their future planning...and other qualities which 'they' think one should have.

I am putting my view about Advaniji as he is my First choice for PM's post...He is giving internal security, terrorism, Economic recession and growth, corruption...bhuk, bhaiy, aur bhrastachar,girl child education, education and health in overall..mazboot natritva...more importance...and one should remember that he is a learned man...we don't need to describe his biodata here...but long time back when his name came in Hawala case he himself immediately resigned...that's make him a man of Principal...I can put many other points but...I think people know about him. So best wishes to him and our country.

May be I sound bit stupid but few mints.back I was writing in MSD's gossip cum matrimonial blog started by few of his 'friends'...I think I am their 'swayambhu agony aunt'. He has some options- of Sakshi, Tapasi(poetry in his life...is anybody listening???), and Lakshmi Rai...one of whom he is going to marry, as they all are his good friends and dreaming to marrying him.Well, he has right to choose....as even every girl also has this right.Even in arrange marriages people take time to choose. When Deepika Padukone said no to him(I don't know how serious he was) and choosen Yuvraj, reports of his 'mayusi' was on TV, so I said, 'Ebdtai Isq main rota hai qua, aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya....'

I don't know I should share it or not(vaise ye blog parhta koun hai),...Few months back I ,ma,and babuji were discussing aditi's vyasatata on phone, and telling her to take care of her ear...as she has problem in her one ear by birth( she cannot hear from one of her ear).I don't know why I just said, who is going to marry her? Its a coincedence that after few days I saw an ad. on TV saying 'Jijaji tayyar hain'. it was original MSD wearing sehra,...and few others wearing Dhoni's face mask and sehra...saying 'hum tayyar hain'...I jokingly said,I'll get him married to Aditi...she initially reacted against(oh! mera bap,becoz of their age difference...she'll be 22 on the 10th sept.,and he is 7 July 1981 born... or she didn't like his looks with long hair))...but now she doesn't,(though she doesn't like anyone's friends insulting me, (I don't mind as I was doing Gandhigiri there)...or me getting defensive)...but she still thinks 'mummy hawa main latth chala rahi hai.'

But in reality I am not bowling googly,yorker,folltoss,or bouncer...neither I am spinning, (I know shayad he or anyone of his colleague don't even know what I am thinking or who I am?)neither I am a cricket expert...),but every Parents do dream good things for their kids life, she is our only child...I am not after any thing...don't want her only to 'kaid in sone ka pinjra'(though its not a disqualification)... but 'If' I'll get 'real' not 'virtual' good match for her, would like to marry her after her graduation, but not in a hurry to do so.)'Is anybody listening....??? Yes. Aditi is listening and watching someone joking about short term plans or singing 'Muqquddar ka Siqander' song and advising someone to takecare of their one ear(on zee tv show)...about composition and so on...

I Saw Dhoni's website, read few more articles on him and family on the internet...I think he is a nice boy from humble and good background...now a rich and famous boy with good fanfare....but is already dating someone...only if he has time...(as gossips says), so its better not to think in that(marriage) context(...if he is serious about any of them)...Yahan na na karte pyar tumihi se kar baithe ho sakta hai, per kisi aurka dil thod kar nahin...vaise fehrist agar vakaiye main lambi hai to kuchh ka dil to tutega hi....Abhi aditi has to finish her studies, and miles to go...she is busy in her college,work and duniya...Best wishes...
Vaise I must say, its I who started talking to Aditi's friends and her, these people can do character analysis but do not do character assisnation of a friend or anyone...they are quiet protective about each other, and does not share each others katha much with anyone else(that doesn't mean they are lier or encourage wrong doing)...that makes them different from others. But I have full faith on them, as I know they are sensible.

Aditi's college is open till 3rd of May(Friday)...after that she may join Avinash Pashricha...Legendry ace photographer as an apprentice during summer vacations(its her subject but she has passion for it)...in between she may go to North-East with few of her friends for 10 days (good photo opportunity)...as one of her friend's native home is there, and whole arrangements of staying and local travelling is done by them...she has joined evening Gym cum swimming session regularly, she go there with her classmate Nikita and her Mummy-Papa. Quite busy...good for her. Once I told her she should not feel underestimated watching young stars of different fields....she is talented and if she'll work hard even she'll become sucessful in her field.

Elections -loktantra ka jashn is going on, roadside language are used and topics which does not matter much to people are getting discussed by leaders...Mulayam Singhji speeches are full of caste dividing ingredients...'brahman daliton ko vote na dein, pahale baithne ko khatia deinge, phir shadi ke liye biteya lenge'...how fuedal this comment is? Do they believe in equality mentioned in our constitution? Erasing english, and computer sciences from school are promises in their menifesto...Emphasis on and respect to your own language is good...but ??

I don't know why few things I need to discuss, which is not very necessary... I left my job in 25 Feb 2001, it was my decision...I am happy with it ...Little bit of other work I was doing...I'll continue to be doing...We went to Sahara's marriage...as we were invited...few people recognized us some doesn't...that doesnot matter...as I went there to attend a marriage, not for a job or asking for anything...who recognized me, they knew me...who doesn't he has not met me as I attended his 2 meetings at Lukhnow office...in a big group.Well, ja kar aacha laga. Bad mein pata chala somebody senior has resigned...I don't know why? Vaise we were invited for Saharashree's grandson 'Aanprashan',we were not suppose to go, as we had some other prior engagements,latter on we heard that it got cancelled, Mayawatiji ki kuch kripa hui thi.

In 2004 election time, on the way I went to Mr.Naqvi's place to meet him without any appointment, he couldn't meet me as I was told by his PA,he was busy planning some election work...quite natural , I didn't had his mobile number, as those days Sudhirji was in London(touring europe).He knew him quite well, I am not known to him much,though met him twice with Sudhirji.We know others, but with Advaniji's family our relation is since 1988...They are always there at our Big 'family functions' like Sudhirji's sister or brother's marriages or any other function...at least Pratibha or Jayant do come.So we are not observing his thinking and evolution in career just from outside but do talk to them at times, though Sudhirji aur main Kafi Lihaj rakhate hain.That day his family was out of Delhi campainging,...now I look back to the incidence...I think I took myself a bit seriously...thought I should go and advise naqviji...Aisse nahin hota hai...that day he critisized Jaya Prada(a candidate from his constituency-Rampur) as Nachne-gaanewali...he shouldn't have...instead of that I thought they should have given little bit more importance to muslims to balance their promises...anyway, that day I cameback...Its a coincedence he got demoted from his post(Gen secy), ....though some promises announced to UPite muslims that after winning 2004 election...1000 of urdu teachers will get employment...etc.I don't remember he lost or won? I am not angry with anyone...Its people's prarogative....what to do, what not to.(Its not... maya mili na Ram???)...Though coming back from London Sudhirji told me I could have gone with Advaniji in his campaign...I never thought about it. ...though it does't matter now...vaise I usually don't go anywhere without calling up or without invitation...and neither go anywhere ghar ka mamla samajh kar....

Keeping your papers intact and advising others for it, does that mean you are making people clerk? I don't think so? Well, I remember 'serial' called 'office-office'...where files'chalti' thi...never ending process of Corruption and mismanagement, pending and delaying work.If you know someone in sarkari type office, even a Chaprasi...your work become bit easier.

Saw original'Titanic's ships newz clipping and its 95 yrs old last survival's interview and her precious 'items'on TV, which are getting auctioned... nice to see it.

Saw clipping of a serial'Jugni chali Jalandhar',where a girl who is a professional doctor got married to a boy of her choice, but his parents needed a villager house wife as bahu, so she is in ghughat enacting gaonwali to make every one happy and win their hearts without telling them she is educated..one day their friends(common friends) came to meet them and.....good comedy.

Serials are not life...its reality plus fantasy...and so many thing...in 'shanti' serial she got justice by getting her mother married to the man (culprit)after DNA test, as he was feeling guilty....but in reality such things do not happen...so its better we separate Films, serials, Ad. with real life and do not mix reality with fantasy, which are others point of view...it makes things diluted...

Apart from his regular Political cartoons(in my time journalist were considered senior if he/she is covering political beat, specially PMO)....Sudhirji explored different dimensions of cartooning. Sudhirji has made TV documentry films on cartooning and legend cartoonists of India for DD, CD roam on Cartoons history sponsered by indian Airlines, 6 books(collection of cartoons),Did sketching and reporting of various part of Rajasthan at the time of drought, Pokhran N-test,etc..went for election coverage with Mulayam singhji,Phulan Devi...etc,got made caricatured Mugs,Murals(for which his name is in Limca book of world record), Cerigraphs of his cartoons ,Caricatures of personalities from every fields and cartoons for charity work...done cartoon workshops,his cartoon exhibhition held few times, organised prestigious cartoon contest for ameteur cartoonists for HT for several yrs in which expert and celebrated judges from all field were invited including film industry ...has pending programme of making caricatured face(murti's) of Politicians, he made few of them himself(rough)...wants to make full length animation film,caricatured printed T-Shirts and other cloth line...had plan with Ritu Beri, but didn't materalised...now planning with others(Aditi has organised fashion show etc.,)...best wishes to him...jo chod chuke use revive karen aur khud revive hon...Aditi ko bhi isme shamil karen...as she has interest, has bit of experience and talent(if some one is previleged to have an expert at home what is bad in it...its right that things are bit easier for her this way, people say she is getting things in platter and will have fayda also, how does that matter,as she has to make her path on her own, and definetly competitiveness in everyfield increased now and creativity cannot be borrowed). Old is gold, one can learn good things from their experiences and expertise(if they have).

I can see 'muhavara's' are turning into reality....'tu-tu main-main','jutam paijar'...etc..people should understand the meaning behind satire and humour...including cartoons... and should not take it literally...Once I said in some context(discussion was some one is working, someone not)...'Loha lohe ko katatha hai' (I am not trying to over rate any one but I used to say If I can achieve(worked as a full time journalist) something others can also, media is media...print, Tv, Radio...one need to be regular journalist ,....well, aajkal politicians are behaving like a 'garam loha', ready to bend whichever way suits them(any one is invited in any party)..may be ye vaqt ki zaroorat hai, to take everyone along...as main issue is allround development...janta-amir-garib, dalit savarn,mahila-purush...so on ke bajai, need basic amenities...education.health,employment.roti,kapda aur makan...sports,entertainment come later on...religion is an emotional issue...Bhuke bhajan na hoi gopala...but it do touch their heart...Gandhiji knew it thats why he rightly used it to unite our country as we were scattered in so many small states and ghettos...well,Ashok Sahu, Sanjay Raut, Varun Gandhi went to jail for there hate speeches(that's good, by the way loving own religion is not wrong...but hating other religion is wrong),...but why not Vaiko, Laluji, ....and so many others? Why that criminals and corrupts are getting tickets?

Voters in Bihar has become more responsible as reports are saying...more voting percentage...voting on all round devolopment, good governess,against crime as by curbing crime make people -investors, get attracted to Bihar...and employment and economic growth will increase...and poverty can be erased...and people will stop running away for smaller job...every problem is inter related as poor people getting misguided and indulging in crime is one point but Dubangai and naxalism without reason is needed to be checked.People should vote for right candidates...PM MM singhji said one should not vote for individual candidates...but for that he need such provision (amendment)in the constitution...electoral reforms are needed. Its true that individuals eat up main parties candidates votes...which results in fractured mandate or finally coalition government...By the way it reminds me of an advertisement on TV in 2004 election time, when tiny-toddlers in dress of different states participating in a fancy dress saying, 'we want to be a PM'.

Saw My school friends Rajendra kumar(IAS in Goa) and Vijay Panjiar(GM-Engineer in Railway-Kolkatta)'s personal blogs...nice to read it...quite personal blog with family photos and all...Got hyder's phone from Jordon..haven't met after 1983...

People are liking Sudhirji's comments in his programme 'Voter ka meter'...quite mature and witty...getting good feed back, but personally at times I feel even he loses his sense of humour at home, I wish with his integrity,honesty,and political understanding...he should join politics...Nation do need good people to come out and actively contribute in Politics also, may be it will happen sooner or later, best wishes.

For last few days I was activly trying to mingle up with my daughter's friends...All are my 'Taare zamin per'...trying to understand how they think...what are their ambitions....little bit of gossips...It resulted in a (I think) good change in her total behaviour...she is more serious and balanced...which means more mature...good wishes to me.

Its not nice to see 'Jutam-Paijar' and ' Serious Tu-Tu Main-Main' of Indian Politics. That's why I have stopped writing here... best wishes for loktantra biggest festival...where colours of all regions, all religions, all castes,all strata's and all moods will come out with one motive...to vote.

Its my good wishes to our country and all of us so that citizens should vote for right candidates...right party to form a stable government...and good and firm leader...who can give lead this country and give solutions for economic recession, price rise, job cuts, backwardness in the all fields, corruption...

My first Choice for PM candidate is Shri L.K.Advani...He should be given a chance...Best wishes for free, fair and fearless election...I'll pray for it.

Vadodara, September 20 A bachelor degree in science has helped me in the profession
A riot of caricatures of politicians and film stars mesmerised everyone at the M S University's (MSU) Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) department on Saturday, as cartoonist Sudhir Tailang stole the show.
“Cartoonists always make sketches of famous personalities. One of the most amusing and famous personalities is Modi. In the Gujarat Assembly election, he had shouted a slogan—mujhe fansi de dena, agar main maange na poori karoon (hang me if I don’t fulfil the goals). I drew a cartoon strip where Modi is shouting and Manmohan Singh is running away,” Tailang said.
Tailang began early, at the age of 10. Till now, he has covered around 10 Prime Ministers right from Mrs. Indira Gandhi to Manmohan Singh. He has an educational background in biology. “A bachelor degree in science has helped me in the profession. As a biologist, I dissected living beings including many frogs. Former prime minister Late P V Narasimha Rao had certain frog-like features,” he said with a smirk.
He said further, “Science makes one’s mind analytical and English literature makes an individual philosophical. Several such things make a cartoonist.”
Tailang said that no professional degree could make a cartoonist. “I always make caricatures that are for the common man, he said.
Tailang will be releasing a compilation of 150 cartoons on Manmohan Singh in his book ‘No Prime Minister’. “It takes six months for a prime minister to be a cartoon material. Everyone including Manmohan Singh has passed that acid test. I have invited Mr Singh to release the book and comment on the caricatures. It will be interesting see his comments since all of them are controversial,” Tailang added

I am sure now no more failure, no more 'jhataka'...in my family...Aditi and Sudhirji will do better and better, so will I....as we have to go miles and miles...best wishes.

Amar Singh, Shatrughan to launch Manmohan cartoon bookApril 3rd, 2009 - 8:41 pm ICT by IANS -
window.google_render_ad();
New Delhi, April 3 (IANS)In poll season a collection of 150 cartoons of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to be brought out in a book will be launched not by the man himself but by Shatrughan Sinha of the Bharatiya Janata Party and Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh at a function here Saturday.The compilation of cartoons titled “No Prime Minister” traces the evolution of Manmohan Singh during his tenure first as a reluctant prime minister to one who became a cartoonist’s delight.
Sudhir Tailang, a political cartoonist for over 27 years and who has worked for several publications, said he asked Sinha, the veteran film star, and Amar Singh to do the honours as Manmohan Singh had declined to do so.
“Sinha is a close friend of mine. And Amar Singh because he is the second most important man after the prime minister because it was he who gave Manmohan Singh a second lease of life after the Left parties pulled out the government on the Indo-US nuclear deal,” he said.
Tailang said he had approached the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) requesting Manmohan Singh to inaugurate the book, but he got a reply saying it would be “awkward” and “embarrassing” for him to release a book on himself.
“I was immediately reminded of Shankar the famous cartoonist who parodied Pandit Nehru in his weekly. Nehru had told Shankar never to spare him,” says Tailang.
“If Manmohan Singh had accepted to inaugurate the book it would have symbolised the beauty of democracy which is to accept criticism. And that did not happen.”
“I chose the title deliberately to pun with the satirical British sitcom ‘Yes Minister’. You can draw a hundred interpretations from that title I chose, whether we had a prime minister at all in the last five years or if this is the stock answer Congress President Sonia Gandhi gave him for every major decision he wanted to take,” said Tailang.
“The cartoons trace the metamorphosis of Manmohan Singh, a person who symbolises the establishment and the powers that be. There are some caricatures of him while he was finance minister during Narasimha Rao’s government but essentially it is these five years.”
An official of Wisdom Tree, the publishers, said a representative from the PMO would be present on the occasion.Sphere: Related Content

Not everyone can become a cartoonist- Sudhir Tailang
August 22, 2008
New Delhi: Not everyone can become a cartoonist, prominent caricaturist Sudhir Tailang says, even as he maintains the profession will never die out.
"Not everyone can become a cartoonist. Only those who have a blend of creativity and a personal opinion of the world and can present this vision with humour can succeed," Tailang said.
Despite the lack of youngsters in the profession, Tailang was confident that the art of cartooning would never die out.
"Cartoons will not die an easy death. It is not easy to kill cartoons," Tailang told sources at an exhibition at the F Bar art lounge here on Wednesday as part of its "In Focus" celebrity theme.
"In Focus" events are conducted once a week to applaud the accomplishments and talents of achievers and newcomers.
Tailang, 48, has been a cartoonist for 28 years. He first made a mark with his daily "Here and Now" pocket cartoons in the Hindustan Times in the 1980s. Drawing his first cartoon at the age of 10, he began his career with the Illustrated Weekly of India and now draws a daily caricature for the edit page of the Asian Age - under the "Here and Now" label.
That he has his finger on the pulse of the nation can be gauged from the cartoon in Thursday's edition of the Asian Age.
It depicts a worried looking Prime Minister Manmohan Singh telling Congress president Sonia Gandhi: "Not Jammu, Soniaji...JMM needs our immediate attention".
It's a telling comment on the Indian political establishment where Kashmir might be burning but the focus is on ensuring the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha continues its support to the Manmohan Singh government.
According to Tailang, "cartoons will always get exclusive space in a newspaper".
Proof of this can be found in the fact that almost every leading and even middle-level newspaper carries at least a pocket cartoon on its front page every day.
"I represent the common man, what he thinks and what he goes through everyday. My cartoons represent them," Tailang maintained.
For him, a cartoon is 70 percent idea and 30 percent drawing.
"There is a thin line between a good and an insipid cartoon. It's up to a cartoonist to nurture his thoughts and put them across in the appropriate manner," he said.
Like every cartoonist, Tailang has his share of favourite politicians - and in his case, it is former prime minister P.V. Narasimha Rao.
"Rao's entire personality was made to order for a cartoonist. His nostrils and pout gave him an edge over his counterparts. I think he was invented for cartoonists," Tailang contended.
Rao apart, there's also Railway Minister Lalu Prasad, former Tamil Nadu chief minister J. Jayalalitha, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati and Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani.
"I have drawn more than 100 cartoons of Advani," Tailang said, adding: "(Samajwadi Party leader) Amar Singh is another vibrant candidate for a cartoonist."
Among the younger leaders, it's Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi whom he likes to draw because of his sharp features and sophisticated looks. IANS

Not everyone can become a cartoonist- Sudhir Tailang
August 22, 2008 RSS Tell a friend Printable Version

New Delhi: Not everyone can become a cartoonist, prominent caricaturist Sudhir Tailang says, even as he maintains the profession will never die out.
"Not everyone can become a cartoonist. Only those who have a blend of creativity and a personal opinion of the world and can present this vision with humour can succeed," Tailang said.
Despite the lack of youngsters in the profession, Tailang was confident that the art of cartooning would never die out.
"Cartoons will not die an easy death. It is not easy to kill cartoons," Tailang told sources at an exhibition at the F Bar art lounge here on Wednesday as part of its "In Focus" celebrity theme.
"In Focus" events are conducted once a week to applaud the accomplishments and talents of achievers and newcomers.
Tailang, 48, has been a cartoonist for 28 years. He first made a mark with his daily "Here and Now" pocket cartoons in the Hindustan Times in the 1980s. Drawing his first cartoon at the age of 10, he began his career with the Illustrated Weekly of India and now draws a daily caricature for the edit page of the Asian Age - under the "Here and Now" label.
That he has his finger on the pulse of the nation can be gauged from the cartoon in Thursday's edition of the Asian Age.
It depicts a worried looking Prime Minister Manmohan Singh telling Congress president Sonia Gandhi: "Not Jammu, Soniaji...JMM needs our immediate attention".
It's a telling comment on the Indian political establishment where Kashmir might be burning but the focus is on ensuring the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha continues its support to the Manmohan Singh government.
According to Tailang, "cartoons will always get exclusive space in a newspaper".
Proof of this can be found in the fact that almost every leading and even middle-level newspaper carries at least a pocket cartoon on its front page every day.
"I represent the common man, what he thinks and what he goes through everyday. My cartoons represent them," Tailang maintained.
For him, a cartoon is 70 percent idea and 30 percent drawing.
"There is a thin line between a good and an insipid cartoon. It's up to a cartoonist to nurture his thoughts and put them across in the appropriate manner," he said.
Like every cartoonist, Tailang has his share of favourite politicians - and in his case, it is former prime minister P.V. Narasimha Rao.
"Rao's entire personality was made to order for a cartoonist. His nostrils and pout gave him an edge over his counterparts. I think he was invented for cartoonists," Tailang contended.
Rao apart, there's also Railway Minister Lalu Prasad, former Tamil Nadu chief minister J. Jayalalitha, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati and Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani.
"I have drawn more than 100 cartoons of Advani," Tailang said, adding: "(Samajwadi Party leader) Amar Singh is another vibrant candidate for a cartoonist."
Among the younger leaders, it's Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi whom he likes to draw because of his sharp features and sophisticated looks. IANS

Aditi has got highest marks in her two subjects in her class... Ad campaign and Photography...good wishes to her...I have heard them discussing that till 10th we have to study every subjects...whether we are interested in it or not...its a wastage of time...subjects should be optional like few languages are....I don't think so, I believe till 10th, they should learn basic things of all subjects....Aditi is 20yrs younger than I and not a ditto copy of me...but as I resemble my mother she resembles me...and I think she is quite like me in naturewise.Pallavi was saying 'Aunty hamein nazar lag gayi hai'...God bless them.

3 points of BJP agenda...

Article 370, common Civil Code, and Ram Mandir...
I am sure Voters are intelligent enough to give vote on good governence,security, economic issues, all round devolopment, health,education, basic eminities, problem of slow response in government system, which make people break the rules, by giving bribe or using approaches(pull or push)...corruption in our society, lack of will power to get work done etc is also an issue....electoral reforms is one issue....should be thought about, after Shri Bangaru Laxman(Then Party President) taking one lakh donation on camera...he lost his post and standing in his party...and it made NDA to work on the law on taking donation for party fund by Cheque....I don't know how many candidates and Parties are following this?

Ram Mandir issue can only be solved by concensus and law...its ok...every one believe BJP's genuine feelings as they are following their Ideology to make their'Sangathan' happy...its an emotional issue which was discussed at Chandrashekharji's time also, but it should not go beyond Ram Mandir in Ayodhya....
Article 370 and common civil code, people may think is wrong, I think its not wrong but rethinking on it is important now....
In a simple words, equality in every state including J&K is important for solving their problems and include them in mainstream. After so many years of our freedom their problem become so prominent that even Mr.Obama wants to solve it, then why not we?
Lets not go too much in history, but think why this problem exists and why Pakistan wanted refrendum there, people do understand...without thinking of political mileage ,if we give this legal right to every other Indian citizens to buy properties in J&K and to live there....problem of 'only muslim' state will be half solved as people of Kashmir do live in other parts of country as well...and mixed population will end Pakistan's dream to occupy this part of country and make it a 'no mans land' as they made POK,..on the basis of 'religion'...as our country divided over 'two nations theory'....and Pakistan still wrongly dreaming about it...I am sure mixed population won't create problem for politician's vested vote politics, as people of many state shown that they want peace and devolopment...food, employment and education for kids...not terrorism, deaths and destruction.
Definitly, when every one is talking about communalism...they forgot that speaking against 'any' religion and hurting peoples centiments are communalism....we want 'sarve,dharm,sadbhav'... but at the same time we should give equal status to every religion....when Constitution and Law is same for every other minority or majority religion then why 'Shariat' is followed by Indian Muslim....we are glad muslims in our country are very peace loving...but good points from 'Shariat' should be included in our Constitution by the Parliamentary discussion Process and this differentiation should be abolished...I have done research-compartive studies on Muslims in India and other countries...with the angle of illetracy, population control and women's situation....you can find that usually women of rich and eduated Muslim families are Mordern...in look(do not wear burqa all the time) and thinking wise...they won't allow bigamy...or too many children or uneducation for girl child...they are aware of their rights....which means main problem is poverty...illetrate populations...who believes in what they are told, not in 'Shariat 'as they can't study...they cannot afford four marriges, too many kids (as every wife has right of two child if we believe in two children norms,one cannot deny motherhood right of a woman...)...can they live like this peacefully and progress? How will they contribute in self devolopment and in countries progress more effectively? Poor and uneducated youth get misguided easily...there are many points related article 370 and common civil code which are now must get discussed and debated and with every ones agreement should get passed by parliamentary process for every one benifts....otherwise there may be a day come when people will ask for 'Gita' or 'Bible', or ' Granthsahib"...to be made their Rajgranth like 'Shariat".
We, in short, need to go into history, why 'Shariat'...is Muslim's constitution and law book...Hindu culture absorbed every other culture who came here for any motive and ruled us...but for longer period it was Mughals and Britishers who enslaved us...that's why Bharat is Hindustan and India as well....this mixture is Bhartiyata...as bodh,sikh,jain, Parsi's... streamed away from hinduism and spread over other countries are also got abosorbed in our culture...which is Bharat...but after 1857 mutiny when we all got united, still lost the war for many other reasons, Britishers started playing divide and rule policy...which resulted in partitions two nations theory...who all wanted seprate nation was tool of britishers hand...before going they divided us so that we couldnot become superpower...just imagine...if Bharat,Pakistan.Bangladesh and many smaller countries who part away in the process...if we were united...would have stonger than then Soviet republic or USA....Britishers knew it so they played game....and after 62yrs we are not trying to overcome and rethink about these things. At the time of Partition or Independence, or when our constitution was written every other minority was treated equally but Muslims not as that time they were insecure and suffering, and mentally not prepared...They for years lived like a rulers and after that for decades mistreated by britishers...britishers divided and spread hatred amongst us....But now after 62yrs we should leave bad politics aside and make them equal like every other religion...make them feel that this constitution is important for them also...you are not forgieners, not outsiders, not Pakistanis,not Bangladeshi's.....They all are equally Hindustani.... Bhartiya, Indian...they all study English and sanskrit in schools and speak regional languages....celebrate..festivals..eat or wear similiar clothes...enjoy all kind of freedoms what hindu, sikh, christian...has, then why not follow the same CONSTITUTION AND LAWS. Why they need Personnel Law???
Only Experts can discuss these topics in a better way and convince them or create concensus.I think, I am thinking in a right direction...
I still believe 'Bhuke bhajan na hoi gopala'...so devolopment, employment and eradication of poverty is most important.....Its better if we sing 'vande matram', 'jan-gan-man', 'vaishnav janto tene kahiye jo pir paraiyee jane re', instead of only 'Jai Shri Ram'...though Ram is everyone's'....one don't need any certificate to remember him or to be called Hindu, or Muslim, or Sikh, or Isai...

I have never asked for anything from anyone....not even from my parents...except getting tiffin packed twice or thrice...from close friends or at family members house...that also agar khana kuch manpasand ho aur bach gaya ho...I don't believe in taking or giving gifts...except from family members or close friends....that also useful token gifts....so there is no chance of getting corrupt in our family...if leave aside minor points no body is a law breaker....
I promised myself that I'll try not to speak a lie, not to eat non-veg food or not to offer drink....I am successfully trying to do this....and will do it in future....every other members are free to take their decisions...but I know every one is controlled person and who has habbit of taking little bit are trying to live it. I think if something is bad for Health, one should avoid it. Best wishes to every one...
This world is a stage and we all are acting.... but no more acting from my side...as I am not ready to take anyone's rudeness...and will try not to be rude to others or sound 'Ghamandi' if ever I sound like that....at times to provoke someone to do something I say something...for example, when Sudhirji's near one was saying its a shame...we don't even have a Political leader except an Italian lady...I told them, why don't they fight election...and be one...don't they have leadership quality??...If I hurt somebody in someway...will try to not to do that...Vaise Bade se Chote, Sabhi ko eksaath Khush rakhna mushkil hai....and I am not going to do that anymore.....my direct responsibility is Aditi and Sudhirji and Ma -Babuji(if they are living with us).Indirectly I believe we have responsibilities of everything in the world what we share,including...Mother nature.

Lets do some personal talk;
Sudhirji's book release ' No Prime Minister' was good event, atleast 30 channels,newpaperswalas came but only 20 has shown it...it got covered by radio and internet press as well...He thought he could have made it more successful... best wishes to him for every new day and every new event...I am always there to support him and Aditi...and I am really happy that he took even my name as his inspiration...well, thats the best compliment any wife can get...Thanks, though It does not matter if he wouldnot have mentioned it as I know I do matter to him.

We went to Election Commissioner Quereshi saheb's house...Nice musical evening....Sudhirji is their fixed lead singer...he himself playing guitar and casio...Brian silas on Piano...Sudhirji sang Mh.Rafi's song...nice evening....Sudhirji do have fan following as a singer...nice to know....it reminds me of 'hum dil de chuke sanam' film where Salman Khan an NRI from Italy...was a good singer and gave his cartoons,instead of his photo's to Aishvariya...deadly combination.

Somebody telling him he must have wooed me by singing not by cartoons...that's not true, I liked everything about him...I lost little bit of my sense of humour at times...or few yrs back, as I was trying to convince people about something...which was not in my hand...and 'Bayanbazi's,.. naturally nobody believed it...now it does not bother me much...its not that only I was misunderstood by others...I think even his cartoons..were misread...my point of view is 'cartoons are mixture of idea,humour,satire in one line,and its visual presentation, which has bit of exxageration in idea and bit of distorted look which is called Caricature...and people likes it'. Even Cartoonist Shankar Pillai was told by his friend PM Nehruji 'Never spare me Shankar'...definetly I will say the same, though actually one need to be in News for being in a Political Cartoons....so no opposition and infighting over this topic at home. We are not 'jhele rahe hain ek dusre ko', we are 'jhel rehe hein' all kind of situations together, koyi thoda zyada, koyi thoda kam.

About getting 'misunderstood', for example, I'll be able to explain by an example of 'Shanti' serial where a journalist girl 'Shanti' was fighting for injustice done to her Mazdoor mother who was raped by two film industry personalities...and for her paternal identity, got DNA test done...in between a day come when she was 'framed' for corruption and her own mother who doted on her...thought she took bribery and gave her 'gavahi' against her and said bhall-bura...tu mar kyon nahi gayi...kind of words...and on that basis she got into jail....though this was first TV daily soap full of masaledar twist and turns...whether its Shanti, Priya,Manisha, Tulsi, Parvati , Prerna and so on....this incidence of 'misunderstanding' about bribery or theft ...got repeated...I think life is like this...in so many yrs every ones thinking changes or evolved...

Yesterday Aditi's two college friends were here, as they are doing 'applied art' I was asking various questions related to contemprary ads and their life in general...Its nice to talk to young generation...they gave me satisfiying answer...no over reaction, no anger, no shyness...with very maturity they answered me...though I tried 'reverse psychology 'and gave 'ulta comments' to get right answers, or to puzzled them, but they had clarity in their views...atleast Aditi and Shubham has...Pallavi came for first time so not talking much...I asked them their reaction about yesterdays news -4yrs old girl got raped by his father... they told me...these kind of people should kept in mental asylum....I told them I have done 4 page(broadsheet) story on 'Sexual abuse in general' -covering its all aspects, law, interviewed psychologist(Aruna broota)... I don't know why I thought I should talk to them...but I am happy now onwards I don't have to repeat these topics any more as I got very sane and positive answers....Shubham is a Gay boy...I did ask some 'Straight' question to him, read his blog..which has his gay confession ...well, what can he do about his genetical problem...getting embarrassed and hurt...I stopped...I think I was bit insensitive...even his parents are...but he is an intelligent, sensitive...bangali delhite...I have no problem if Aditi is his friend...so now no looking back...as every next day is a new day....

When I mentioned about Aditi and her group of ten friends went to see 'Football World Cup semi final' at Max-muller bhavan and 'World Cup Final' at 'Agni-Park Hotel' whole night ...after her 12th board exams....they accepted that they are bit nalayak ....like watching sports and films...need to be more self disciplined...good wishes to all of them.

I Rajasthani, I Bihari talk is still going on...I think little bit more time is needed to fill this divide...I told them,I am a proud Bihari-Rajasthani who lives in Delhi and occasionally go to bihar or Rajasthan(more often )...but can cook rajasthani food and like wearing Rajasthani prints and fabrics....may not be 'Perfect' but not a ignorant...anyway , I am not angry with any one and now onwards promise myself not to crack 'Sade hue' jokes.

Menifesto

Now I will say some points in their favour.
1-Menifesto is good and its covered all strata and their Problems.
2-It covered every Big and Small Problems our country is facing... as it came later on so it covered those points also which Congeress missed...
...I was writing it a week ago...in between many things happen...latest was shoe throwing...laluji's comment...and so many 'soundbites' which makes one feel ashamed of democracies misuse....and I don't understand why only Varun Gandhi is Punished...I will sure EC will take action against them.

BJP Menifesto-

Heard news of BJP Menifesto getting released after 11yrs....saw clippings. Saw Nitishji's reaction...

Advaniji was talking about Idealism not being imaginary thing and Gandhiji 'RamRajya' can become reality...If they get mandate? He was talking about Corruption free government, then he should not give tickets to atleast Corrupt and Criminals(done henious crimes)candidates...(otherwise he won't get candidates)-I don't know how many wrong candidates are in NDA but definetly I will do research work before giving vote to any candidate in East Delhi...and I can say it Proudly that I and Sudhirji is regular voters...and Aditi is first timer,she voted for vidhan sabha elections few months back... He should..without making it a prestige issue ,follow his conscience and Arun Jaitley's reluctancy in Neera Yadav Candidature...Can he do this?...I believe Media will appreciate it.Vaise its their Aander ka Mamla, but in Democracy...anybody can suggest anything in their blog...Sudhirji reads alot so I am sure he'll more then I.

Baba Ramdev's programme.

Yesterday I saw Aastha Channel, Baba Ramdev has invited few famous Media persons(two of them are women), as a speaker to motivate people...topic was related to media and democracy. Baba Ramdevji is doing great job of making people concious about their health, and helping them from over coming their health problems....Yog is Indian heritage...liked in every corner of the world...specially meditation...Now he is taking up all kind of issues, its good as he is popular and has credibility, so his followers will believe him....Saw a news in Tv that he is forming a Political party...which he denied...Its good as he don't need Satta to do seva... I never liked Osho's philosophy. though I read it...he was more into consumerism and worldliness...by which he gain popularity in urban or foriegner followers...not widely acceptable in Indian Society...There are so many baba's but I think few of them I remember and respect...including Sai Baba of Puttaparti(I have got a chance to meet him), or Shirdi ke Sai Baba (more respected as he himself never said...worship me)...one is Shri Shri Ravi Shankar.I have heard him few times and find his speeches very inspiring as well.
I do believe in Sprituality as I believe -like Newton's gravitational force...there are some forces/shaktiyan do exists which is still Mystery for all of us.

Lets talk about programme, ..Sudhirji was one of the invitees...Programme was inspiring, everyone spoke well...but nodoubt Sudhirji got more appreciation as people were really clapping and laughing on his wit and satire. I think he conveyed his message that Political Cartoons are Parameter of checking democracy...If people (specially High and mighties) after getting rediculed, appreciates you...it means democracy is alive, but if Political cartoons pushed inside or in any corner of the paper and only art directors, designers, illustrators replaced him/her....then it is psuedo democracy or mockery of democracy. I think we Indians are capable of laughing at ourself since Ravan's(ten head), ganesh face(its caricatured), ...birbal, kabir...tanalirama...'s time...and if we are loosing our sense of humour then we should try to regain it.

I have this gut feeling that now I am able to make others understand, family members and outsiders , what I am saying in a better way, well I will try not to do grammeratical or spelling mistakes anymore.Best wishes to me.

NDA v/s UPA

Life for UPA compared to NDA's term is easier regarding Terrorism and Economic crisis issues as now it is recognised as a global issue, and urban voters at least understand these problems...though people who are directly effected won't except these excuses.

Saw Bhai Ho!

Saw Parodi of Jai ho...Bhay Ho! Its interesting and catchy...Facts are correct, but is for short period...nice mini film.

Golma Devi

Finally Golma Devi has resigned from Rajasthan Govt....I still believe this reservation issue started by Mr.Bainsalla is wrong, if some caste has all ready got reservation ,why need reservation in another category to benifit few more seats?...why ain't they believe in improving and enhancing their talent within existed reservation? What am I expecting..., without reservation how Golma devi would have been there?

Vasundhara raje's stand against it was good, though now people will realise elections promises are not always kept...Vasundhara Raje may come back.
