MARATHI MANSA JAAGA HO !!!

Maharshtra was once the most well established industrial zone in the country and very lucrative as far as tax income in considered.
Maharashtra is the only state in India that Charges Octroi. Now as other states like Jharkhand and Uttaranchal have entered into competition by reducing taxes, Maharashtra has suffered directly. Many automobile companies have have stopped their production in Maharashtra and shifted their units to North Eastern States. There was an acute shortage of skilled labor in those places so far. Paradoxically,the labor that worked in Maharashtra came from the North Eastern States. Thanks to MNS all these trained and skilled workers have now decided to return. These workers wont be at loss cos they will be getting jobs on equal or higher scale in their homeland.
The suffers would be the Industries in Maharashtra. These Industries that pay tax to the Maharashtra Govt.
I think that MNS giving jobs to Marathi people in Maharashtra is again a political move with a political motive. Once these workers have support of a party like MNS, we all can guess what kind of a working culture will they bring to the industry.
I was going through the MNS website and was surprised to find that all these 'sainiks' are well educated and young chaps. It is a pity that even such people lack a vision. And we call them leaders.

So what do they have in store for us. Maharashtra is again made up of different parts. Many people who now live in Mumbai are native of Konkan region or other parts of Maharashtra. So will Konkan region be isolated again. Will Punekars be kicked out of Mumbai. Will Vidarbha and Khandesh be separate states.

.... and the argument will go on

Just happened to read an amazing thing.

A study states that the people who get involved in an argument tend to live more than those who do not get involved in argument.

Seems logical. It might be clear that the people who argue let their feelings out. They are sure to have a relax mind.
But naturally they will tend to live more...

Well. If this statement is true, then I would like to go further and think about a few more things.

For the moment just throw the concept of LAUGHTER BEING THE BEST MEDICINE out of the window.
For a while, lets believe that ARGUMENT IS THE BEST MEDICINE.

Think what a place this world would be.

So far we had a practice of greeting people with a smile. Not any more. People might frown at each other as soon as they meet. A frown will ignite an argument more rapidly than any other thing.

Why only that, the laughter clubs that are a routine sight in any park early in the morning will be out of fashion. People might join at Argument Clubs. A hearty argument will make ones day. A stroll in a park on a fine morning, and you will see each one involved in some serious argument.

Loved ones will not use any romantic stuff anymore. The duet songs that the films contain will be finally seen a part of non real world. a couple who can argue with each other will be seen as the best of the lot.

I think the best scene might be seen in hospitals. Just imagine, someone is lying there in an ICU. each visitor goes in to meet him will have a fierce argument and come back. And in fact might believe the it has worked in favor of the patient.

How beautiful might this place be to live. All those gurus and babas and saints who preached for world piece will be seen as villains. People who tend to defuse the tensions might be seen as enemies of humanity.

Well, a set of thoughts make us to believe that such kind of lifestyle might increase the avg age but people wont like to live in such a society. So even if it increases the avg age, people will hate the life they live and this might ultimately reduce the avg age. So there might not be any difference.

But age will increase only if people are happy. And if they are happy arguing they might not hate the lifestyle.

This 'arguably' is the most arguable argument one would ever have to argue on.
