			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post is to Bollywood as well as my fellow country men and woman.</p>
<p><strong>To the Bollywood first-</strong> <a href="http://www.gangavalli.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/my-name-is-khan-poster.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-572" title="My Name Is Khan Movie Poster" src="http://www.gangavalli.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/my-name-is-khan-poster-207x300.jpg" alt="My Name Is Khan Movie Poster" width="207" height="300" /></a>Guys, what the heck is wrong with you all? sometimes you talk like you are great people, know only to do good things and can lead people in the right way. But when it comes to actually doing the deed. You play dead?</p>
<p>Fuck Man. Seriously! – Animals are better than us. If one Crow is dying or dead, all the crows come together. When one of your own is being bombarded with threats by some goondas, you all play dead?</p>
<p>Ya we know you have professional rivalries. Professional rivalries should be only be kept to professional matters. But when one of your own is being targeted by some ass hole goons – where the heck were you all? Don’t have balls to come out?<span id="more-568"></span></p>
<p>MNS/Shivsena, these people are not the underworld for gods sake, they wouldn’t kill your families if you open your mouth. They are just ass hole political parties who have nothing to do except to make everything a communal issue. We all know this fact. Oh, if you are supporting those people, fuck you.</p>
<p>Our country is a democratic country. And anyone who believes in democracy should be on the right side. You were on the wrong side or no side at all? You don’t believe in democracy &#8211; meaning you don’t believe in India and you are not fit to be an Indian. Or are you thinking you on the majority?</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.gangavalli.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/aamirkhanblog.jpg"><img style="display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px;" title="Aamir Khan" src="http://www.gangavalli.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/aamirkhanblog_thumb.jpg" alt="Aamir Khan" width="168" height="240" align="right" /></a> Aamir Khan</strong> – There is no one else in Bollywood or the whole the whole of Indian film industry whom I and many people like me adore or respect more than you. That’s right, I said it. Not SRK. Matter of fact I don’t like him at all because I feel there is something wrong his attitude. But that’s my opinion. – But he is an Indian and I don’t hate him for that reason. You came out to support but people like me expected something bigger. A much stronger statement. Not statements – openly call them into the boxing ring. You are loved for not just your movies but all the social things you do. When people see your ads about Respecting Foreign Tourists, oh ya people love you for that. The fact that when we cannot respect and support fellow Indians, how can we expect some useless goons on the streets to respect foreign nationals?</p>
<p>Why not an all-out war against the Shivsena? Why not challenge them you will bring them to their knees? Oh ya only you can do that I believe. We all know BigB wouldn’t do that anyway. Where are the others? Why Isn’t the entire Bollywood clan coming out when one of your own is in trouble?</p>
<p><strong>To all others &#8211; </strong><br />
When we are inviting the Pakistani foreign minister to talks and when our Prime Minister consistently tries to talk to Pakistan for bilateral relationships, why desert someone who is just supporting a sports team? Its sports, guys, we are not inviting some terrorists. All Pakistanis are NOT terrorists. I am not supporting Pakistan on the whole. There is a bigger angle you need to look at. I am sure all the terrorists are in Pakistan. Its the system in their country that failed. The government there is a victim of its own acts(feeding the terrorists) and is a puppet now in the hands of terrorists. Yes it still feeds them to gain a piece of India. Yes we all hate Pakistan for that. Ah… feels good to say that. Isn’t it? But don’t you think there are also good humans living there. If all Pakistanis are terrorists, WHY didn’t we kill the Pakistani players when we had hundreds of chances? One single bomb thrown into the dressing room when they are here in India would do the needful right? But we didn’t do that. WHY? We love to watch those India-Pakistan matches. don’t we? But that’s where our rivalry with the players ends. We wouldn’t mob and beat them to death if see the pakistani players on our city streets shopping when they are here for a match right? I wonder how many of us would lineup for autographs. But that stupid team is spoiling its own credibility and name by doing all those mindless things they have been doing in the recent times. Pity them for that.</p>
<p>In SRK’s issue, We’ve came down to a stage that we wanted a fellow Indian to prove his patriotism or to prove if he was an Indian at all? Shame on us all. Isn’t this so close to the “Chak De” SRK role where he is seen as a traitor by fellow Indians? We all had tears rolling when we saw that scene in the movie. Why act dumb now when the same thing is happening to a fellow Indian for real? for that matter, unfortunately the same fellow who was acted that scene. But he isn’t acting now. Do you know that? You think this is a publicity stunt? If its his religion in doubt, he married a Hindu, Both Namaz and Hindu Prayers are offered in his house, What does that tell you? His kids – What religion are they?</p>
<p>Guys, organizations and assholes like Shivsena, MNS, RSS are no-good to us. They will only bring more trouble to our country which is already lacking in development and lot of things. Lets not feed these people.<br />
Lets not act like a bunch of sleeping cock sucking morons. Wake up.</p>
<p><strong>To the fellow Muslim-Indians </strong>- this is just not my personal opinion, I’m addressing a larger issue and opinion here and this part is not related to this topic – Stop acting like aliens. I know most of you are not doing so. Most of you are educated and broad minded. But for the others &#8211; Stop thinking my community, my people and seeing Hindus as muslim killers or something? We are not that bad. Are we? We shared our country with you are continuing to do so with great affection and patience. It is we Hindus who are in majority here and do not try to remind that to us. (that does not mean you can claim special minority reservations in everything, minority does not mean backward you see?) &#8211; (sorry for that attitude of mine). Because you are doing so, we had to feed anti-muslim organizations/vote-banks and they have grown so much that we all became victims to these goons. – Everything that you do, reflects on the other side of your city or on the other community. We had rivalry in the past, we can’t change that now. But lets not teach hatred to our children. Lets teach them how to love. How to be better Indians and better Human Beings. We can have different Gods but they are not rivals you see? Gita or Quran exists to teach us good in the language we speak and understand but not to teach hatred. So, lets all stop doing this communal thing. Lets all live like Indians first and not Hindus, Muslims, Maharastrians or Andhraites. We are going no where with these attitudes. Sorry guys, if you hate me for speaking out. Love me as an Indian, you will be loved back for sure. Nothing else matters. I would happily marry a Muslim girl or any girl from a different religion if she(who ever it is) was my girl friend – but sorry that part is already done. btw, I love my wife, she is in her 9th month of pregnancy and I’d be soon leaving for the delivery – on that front, i’m on a little emotional high right now but staying far away in 2 different states for this Valentine’s day sucks (which is day after tomorrow – too bad). Wondering what stopped me from going. grrrr… ok lets come back now.</p>
<p>Ok, Coming back to the SRK issue, I appreciate <strong>the small number of stars who came out</strong> and supported openly. Here is the <strong>certificate that you all have balls</strong>. Seriously. Adorable Ladies, – sorry if that offends you, but let me put it the other way, you all have the guts. Others Do Not.</p>
<p><strong>Here is also appreciation for all those in Mumbai</strong> who went to see the movie today (Febuary 12, 2010) on the release date of My Name is Khan despite the threats from Shivsena. Let the spirit of our great cities and country be with us and not with some goondas.</p>
<p><strong>Here is appreciation for one particular sweet looking girl</strong> that I saw talking on NDTV – here is what she said in front of some theater and its being aired again and again on the national channel –<br />
&#8220;I’ve heard that Bal Thakrey stays here somewhere near this theater and I really want to show him that I can watch the movie in front of his house.”<br />
Wow – Now that’s something.</p>
<p><strong>For all others</strong>, here is something for you, it happened to SRK, it happened to several people in the past, tomorrow it will happen to you too. It might not be MNS/Shivsena, it might not be about supporting Pakistani players. It could simply be about your very own constitutional right – “Right To Freedom” and more specifically “Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression”. Lets not bring things to that stage.</p>
<p>Its not too late now. Its better late than never. Or you leave a sorry state of India to your next generation. We don’t want to be another China right? If we are in China, you would not be reading this blog, because it would have been blocked long ago. But this is India baby!</p>
<p>What are we afraid of? If its about fearing the goons, oh comeon…. r u kidding me?<br />
If we all clap TOGETHER just once, they will die to that sound.</p>
<p>I was frustrated and angered till some time back. I still have it. But right now I’m a little happy or may be very happy this evening seeing all the people rushing to see the movie and support SRK. I would go see the movie may be tomorrow, i don’t know – may be the movie is good, but I will see for the sole purpose of showing my support. Oh, ok let SRK make some more money. No problem. I’ll hate him a little more for all his bank balance and attitude. That’s a different story. Now plz don’t bomb me for that.</p>
<p><strong>note to readers:</strong> I speak for myself, you may sync to my opinion or you may have an entirely opposite opinion, but I would still love you for one reason &#8211; you are a fellow Indian. There is nothing more that matters.</p>
<p>Oh &#8211; <strong>A Very Very Happy Valentines Day</strong> – Go Celebrate Love.<br />
Though there is no day that Love shouldn’t be celebrated, When there is a Day why not celebrate it? Don’t care if it came from the West or The Ancient Egyptians, who cares man?  Let no goon tell you what you should do this Valentines Day, if you are an adult and are doing no crime (as per our laws) – you are allowed to do anything. Go Love!</p>
<p>Love ya’ll.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img title="Fantastic Five - The South Africa Chapter" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="200" alt="Fantastic Five - The South Africa Chapter" src="http://www.gangavalli.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/fantasticfivethesouthafricachapter.jpg" width="240" align="left" border="0" /> In.com is running a contest for an Online reality show/series that will showcase five people who will be sent to 5 different cities in South Africa and these five people have to travel and blog on the go. Post videos and write articles. </p>
<p>As soon as i read the first page of the <a href="http://f5southafrica.in.com/" target="_blank">Fantastic Five site</a>, I immediately thought WOW, may be this is here for me. But I was disappointed to see a rule saying “You must have at least one International Travel.&#8221; What does this have to do with finding passionate people/bloggers who are interested in Traveling to South Africa and blogging, posting videos about what they see there and ultimately impress the online audience? </p>
<p> <span id="more-339"></span>
<p>I haven’t done any International Travel yet, but I’m no less interested in the Fantastic Five. All my life I have been watching only channels like NGC, Discovery, Animal Planet and Travel and Living. Those are the channels that play on my TV 90% of the time. I am a great fan of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Attenborough" target="_blank">Sir David</a> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/dattenborough" target="_blank">Attenborough</a> and <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/programmes/who/david_attenborough.shtml" target="_blank">his programs</a>, a great admirer of people like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Irwin" target="_blank">Steve Irwin</a>, <a href="http://www.marktennant.com/madmikeandmark.aspx" target="_blank">Mike and Mark</a>. Do you watch Mad Mike and Mark? hmm.. you should be mad to watch it really. </p>
<p>Ok now finally what sounds like a great opportunity to travel, do wild safari and blog a lot and keep the audience interested, now sounds like “hey, relax this contest is not for the average guys, this is only for rich dudes or business people who do International Travel”? Yes a lot disappointed after seeing that. Being in the Lucky 5 is one thing, now I should even forget getting shortlisted? This is pretty bad. </p>
<p><em><u>An appeal to Web18/In.com and South Africa Tourism:</u> Please change the rule that the contestants need to have at least one International travel. You will seriously miss people like me and People like me will miss one very good opportunity to do what they love to do the most.&#160; </em></p>
<p><em>I am not just passionate to contest, I am sure luck will favor me to the lucky five and I will be the most followed contestant in the whole of the series. So, Please give me a fair chance. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google Adsense has been a great proven way of revenue for many webmasters. There were several things that we Adsense Optimizers did with Google Adsense Layouts on web sites and blogs. Google banned one after the other technique with which we use to attract site visitors(but not in my sites). Clients have made thousands of dollars with the things we did. One of which is placing images next to the adsense ads. Recently Google Announced a strict policy that it will ban any website for using google adsense if they place images next to the ads and in a very short span of time we switched to other methods of attracting visitors. Now i&#8217;m wondering if the google&#8217;s policy won&#8217;t apply to Google Adwords Ads placed on the Search Engine result pages. Google is doing exactly the same thing that it don&#8217;t want others to do. Now what kind of rule is this? someone explain!<br />
