5 strange Things Banned around the world …

World is seriously Surprising, some governments, some ideologies can sometime make very strange laws, to protect "the sacredness". While browsing the internet I found some very strange facts about certain countries. Video Games and Consoles are banned in China & Denmark, Emo dresses are banned in Russia, Jasmine Flower is banned in China; and the list continues.

Below I have listed 5 most fascinating "bans" around the world, and obviously I didn't went around the world to find these, So Evidently Source is Internet.

Denmark - No New Baby Names: Denmark’s government has interestingly very stringent laws for New Born Child Names. They have currently a list of around 24,000 names, just out of which a parent can select name for their Newbie born. In case you want to keep some other name, you have to seek government permission for an exception. Denmark has even banned fortified snacks.



Singapore - Chewing Gum is Banned: In Singapore, a student would never find a chewing gum under his desk or on his bench. The government has banned import or possession of Chewing Gum since early nineties. According to Government Spokesmen, Chewing Gums result in “Littering & Vandalism” [A point well taken, being an Indian I can observe that very well]. Also government claims that, before the ban, subways had been delayed because people used to stuck gum between carriage  doors, preventing them from closing.


Australia - Porn Featuring Small Breasts: [Sorry to write this, but it’s indeed surprising] According to Australian Government, If you are an Adult Women in Australia with a cup breasts, You Do Not Exist. OR If you are man who likes to watch Porn of Women with small breasts, you secretly love child Porn. Actually the logic is to illegalize “Child Porn”, for that Australian Classification Board has actually banned many such movies in which women Breasts doesn’t seemed like 18 year Old.



China - Reincarnation without prior consent: Has this law been in India, we won’t be having so many Dharm Gurus, and “Godmen”. China’s government has issued strict laws, that Reincarnation of some God or Faith is illegal without Prior Consent to the government. Although this is government’s own way to take over Tibetan Buddhists by trying to rule over one of their most sacred beliefs. This is also one of the reasons Why Dalai Lama is not allowed in China.



Saudi Arabia - Valentine’s Day: I personally don’t like people who put any kind of restrictions on Love. In Saudi Arabia, Valentine’s Day is banned, because it is believed that it’s against Muslim Beliefs. Although the country has a huge Black Market of products that are sold on Valentine’s day on around 5 times the original price.

The First Date …

Author's Advice: Make sure that You read the whole story ... ;)

“OK! I will go out with you this Saturday, But on three conditions. First, It won’t be a 3D Horror Movie; Second, You will drop me home before 8PM; And Third, Just to clarify once again, this is just because you are a very good friend of mine and I don’t want to dishearten you, This doesn't mean that I love you or anything like that.” She said all this in a single breath on our way back from Library, while I handed over a bundle of Books to her. She didn't look at me during this entire dialogue, busy searching her favorite ‘Yellow Clip’ into her ‘Blossom Blue’ bag.

She was 4 inch shorter than me, We have been friends from past 10 years. She was a new admission in 2nd Standard, when I first saw her. She was cute, didn’t talked much, quiet, peaceful, chummy. During my entire 1 year reign as Class Monitor, I never wrote her name on the blackboard among the defaulters and after that I never got grades, that were good enough to make me class monitor.

I used to look at her, we started sharing lunch boxes, I used to give her toffees and she used to steal chalk for me from class teacher’s cupboard. Haah ! Those were the days, and during all these 10 years, I have been the famous one sided lover. She always considered me a very good friend, she used to share everything with me, we used to be together from morning till evening tuition. We celebrated many Birthdays, Friendships days, together. I gifted her almost everything that could make her happy. She was special to me Indeed, She was very special to me.

Getting back to the Present Day! I went home, very happily, with a big blushing smile. Mom evidently asked me, Ajj Hua kya hai tujhe, Itna kHush … !! ( You seem very happy today, What Happened … !! )”. I ignored Mom. Dad, switching off his laptop, looked at me, with an elegant smile, he asked me to change and join them for lunch. 

On the table, I turned towards my father and said, “Dad! I need some cash.”;
Dad: How Much ?
Me: 1500 or 2000.
Dad: Why ??
Me: I am going out with my friends today. Movie & Pizza.
Dad: How come a movie ticket and a Pizza can bill upto 2000 !!!
Me: [ Smartly turning into a professional Beggar ] Are papa de do naa please, thoda ghumna firna bhi hai … ( Oh ! Dad please, we have some other plans as well …)
Dad: [ With a wink ] Ok bring my wallet from the bedroom after the Lunch … ;)

My Mom & Dad, Kind of always knew that I have something in my heart for that girl. She was the only one with whom they have seen me since my childhood. Every Party, Every Society Meet, Every Parents Meet, I used to accompany just her.


You Know the proudest moment for a Father is, When his son, 
“Makes his first Girlfriend [ He never expresses it, but deep inside the heart he is like, “Afterall He is My son ..” ;) ]” 
AND 
“Gets his 1st salary”

Dressed smartly, into my bests, strong perfume, I took my father’s bike and went to pick her. We watched a movie. After that we moved towards a local restaurant, One of our regular and Favorite. The interior was Dark Brown and White, I pulled out a chair for her, she looked at me with suspicion and said, “I could have done that on my own.” “Come on! I am just showing some courtesy, nothing else”, I replied.

We settled and then I called up for a Waiter. And there comes the Waiter, smartly dressed, with a similar smile he said, “Menu Sir !! I would suggest Mineral water for you sir … ”. “Errrr…. Ok", I said looking surprisingly at him. Well, shifting my attention towards her, I slid the menu towards her and asked her to order. I looked back towards the Waiter as he went back. “Is everything allright ? ”, she asked me. “Yeeaaahhh … All’s Well”, I replied with a smile.

We ate, I served her everything that could delight her. Her favorite chicken sandwich, Light Cold Coffee with chocolate sauce and ice cream. That Waiter was standing 10 Meters away from us, as he was there just for us.

Everything ended well, I took her back to her place. I parked the bike, few yards away from her home. We continued for a small walk, and at last, she hugged me, with a smile on her face said, “It was nice to spend time with you … A treat is on me, I will take you out next Saturday … ” I was filled with joy, not because she was offering me a treat but because this time she didn’t uttered her hallmark sentence, “Don’t make something else out of it, it’s Just as a friend.”

I turned around, walked a few steps while looking towards the ground. As I put my hand inside my pocket to take out the keys, I saw That Waiter, He was standing besides My bike. I ran towards Him, and hugged him with all the power that I had. I looked at him, Kissed his hands and said, “I am sorry, Please forgive me for Lying.” He took my face into his hands and said, “Hey Son! I hope I played well as a Waiter … Did I spoil Anything ?”


That Was My First Date ...

Xiaomi’s Global Head to attend Vibrant Gujarat Summit …



Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors Summit (VGGIS), 2015, is a three day summit aimed to pool Industrialists, Businessmen, Investors, Entrepreneurs and Government under a single roof. As a part of this summit a “Global CEO conclave” is scheduled to be held at the Pandit Deen Dayal Petroleum University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat on 11th January. This three day summit will be inaugurated by Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi on 11 January itself, Business and Industry delegates of 121 different countries are expected to attend this Summit.


Huggo Barra, The head of Global Operations of Chinese mobile maker Xiaomi, is one of the 33 CEOs who will attend this “Global CEO Conclave.” Huggo Barra is the Ex Google executive and was the face of Android into those Initial years. Xiaomi was recently in news, when Delhi court put restrictions on selling a certain type of Mobile Handsets of Xiaomi, in India due to a patent infringement case. Still, company has recently launched its RedMi Note 4G version and is set to release RedMi Note 2 by the end of January this year in India.

India is being seen as an emerging market for manufacturers as it already has the required buyers,
Supposedly. Vibrant Gujarat Summit, will see many firms from USA, UK, Australia, Russia, Japan, Qatar, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Denmark and many other countries. The summit has been greatly projected as a venue where the government has prepared to showcase the potential of Gujarat in terms of Talent and Eligibility. 

Prominent leaders, who are going to attend the “Global CEO Conclave” are, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, CEO of Vodafone Group Vittoio Colao, Global VP of Intel Corporation John Davies, Group Vice President of Ford Motors David Schoch, CEO of RasGas, Chairman & CEO of Suzuki Motor Corporation and Many others.

Vibrant Gujarat Summit is an initiative by the state Government to lure the Investors and Industrialists around the world and invite them to “pool in their money” in Gujarat & India. This has been seen closely in relation with government’s Make In India campaign. Vibrant summit will tell stories of Small Firms of India, that how they managed to become a National OR Global producers and exporters, starting from a “One room Factory”.


“There are two objectives. One, to encourage small and medium enterprises, to tell them the details of evolution of manufacturing units. Second, to fetch fund and technology from visiting foreign industry leaders for the local industries.”

This will be the 7th edition of this summit, which was started in 2003 by Mr. Modi himself. Modi Government at the Central as well has been talking about Development, Good Governance and Policy Reforms on daily basis. Allowing FDI in Insurance and very recently, easing the Land Acquisition Bill, weakening the norms of Land Acquisition, evidently shows government soul moto to boost the Manufacturing and Infrastructure sector. Reportedly government has reduced a hefty amount of 15,000 crore from the Rural Development schemes, and using the same in various Infrastructure development projects.

Balaji Wafers Pvt. Ltd., which from one small shop of Wafers and Sandwich in a crowded chowk, has turned into a major producer of wafers and other snacks as well and are exporting outside Gujarat as well. The story of “Chakkado” auto makers, Exporter and Manufacturer of textile chemicals Harsha Engineers Ltd. And Tiles manufacturers and exporters, Asia Granito, are among the 9 companies that have been chosen to be showcased to various leaders.

The steps taken by the government are no doubt a clear indication of its Policies and vision. The development and success of this summit clearly shows that Why Gujarat is among the very few states in India that have a high growth rate. Globalization has always been the key to development and Government’s agenda to bring Global Leaders into the country and showcase our talents and projects indeed is a good step forward.

Ye Kaisa Naya Saal Hai … ( ये कैसा नया साल है …)



Pichle baras thi jo hasrat, vo ab tak barkarar hai …
Naye jooton pe lagi puraani dhool hai, ye kaisa naya saal hai …

Kya sochun mai naya ab …
Pichle baras jo tha socha,
Kya ho gaya sab …

Vahi hain yaar mere, sabka vaisa hi haal hai …
Naye jooton pe lagi puraani dhul hai, ye kaisa naya saal hai …

Vo tab bhi naa dekhti thi,
Vo ab bhi naa dekhegi …
Mujhe dekh ke farsh pe gulaab,
vo ab bhi fenkegi …

Pichli 'janvari' jo hui thi ladayi, ab tak vo bawal hai …
Naye jooton pe lagi puraani dhul hai, ye kaisa naya saal hai …

Ghar tab bhi jalte the,
Ghar ab bhi jalenge …
Vo mela phir lagega,
Vo tamashe phir lagenge …

Lage the Tirange pe jo daag pichle baras, vo khoon ab bhi laal hai …
Naye jooton pe lagi puraani dhul hai, ye kaisa naya saal hai …

Waqt guzarta hai, waqt guzarega …
Kab tak sametega Ae shayar, ek roz sab bikhrega …
Tabiyat se ise istemaal karna seekh le,
Varna Jaisa beete hain 20 saal, vaise ek aur beetega …

To phir kaisa ye jashn ek raat kaa, Kya behudaa khayal hai …
Naye jooton pe lagi puraani dhul hai, ye kaisa naya saal hai …

...................................................................................................

पिछले बरस थी जो हसरत, वो अब तक बरकरार है …
नये जूतों पे लगी पुरानी धूल है, ये कैसा नया साल है …

क्या सोचूँ मै नया अब …
पिछले बरस जो था सोचा,
क्या हो गया सब …

वही हैं यार मेरे, सबका वैसा ही हाल है …
नये जूतों पे लगी पुरानी धूल है, ये कैसा नया साल है …

वो तब भी ना देखती थी,
वो अब भी ना देखेगी …
मुझे देख के फर्श पे गुलाब,
वो अब भी फेंकेगी …

पिछली 'जनवरी' जो हुई थी लड़ाई, अब तक वो बवाल है …
नये जूतों पे लगी पुरानी धूल है, ये कैसा नया साल है …

घर तब भी जलते थे,
घर अब भी जलेंगे …
वो मेला फिर लगेगा,
वो तमाशे फिर लगेंगे …

लगे थे तिरंगे पे जो दाग पिछले बरस, वो खून अब भी लाल है …
नये जूतों पे लगी पुरानी धूल है, ये कैसा नया साल है …

वक़्त गुज़रता है, वक़्त गुज़रेगा …
कब तक समेटेगा ऐ 'शायर', एक रोज़ सब बिखरेगा …
तबियत से इसे इस्तेमाल करना सीख ले,
वरना जैसा बीते हैं 20 साल, वैसे एक और बीतेगा …

तो फिर कैसा ये जश्न एक रात का, क्या बेहुदा  ख़याल है …
नये जूतों पे लगी पुरानी धूल है, ये कैसा नया साल है …
