India bandh tomorrow?

^ You must be in IT 😛I too don't want any forced break. Spoils the entire plan, and the week. Would prefer working on a weekday rather than a weekend.

^^ Yeh am in IT. Working from Home is like, first watch TV and write codes and when it doesn't execute, get frustrated -- go & lock urself in a room and then start coding again for 10 hrs.

lol the event and promotion job sux more! been working on Nokia projects from 2 months, had to work and sleep in office for 4 days,
only got a weeknd as holiday 😛 . last year i have to go on 15th Aug too.

^^^ 'Khoob jamega rang jab mil baithenge hum yaar' :biggrin:

last year thr was a bandh by BJP, i dont know the reason but BJP workers did chakka jaam in delhi, took more thn 3 hrs to reach office from anand vihar to okhla by bus.

Sample this for a crowd. Compare it with the crowd outside Tihar as shown on TV. KBC question - which crowd is bigger?

PS: Before some calls it a baseless comparison, in both cases the crowd had assembled for a cause - a belief that the person concerned would change things for the better. Over to the video

Chiranjeevi's party launch big hit in Tirupati - India News - IBNLive

The function was choreographed by a special event management team. Though the cost was huge but the fans were impressed.

Paisa fek tamasha dekh , i just want to say it was a launch with the help of event management team :tongue1:


Anyway maaro goli. This cause is for every indian 🙂

Event management team could only take care of the logistics, not arrange for 10 lac+ people to turn up. That requires crowd pull. The cause is the same, whatever part of the country that Indian is in. The point is do people really feel strongly about this? Why aren't there sufficient people on the road? Is the media trying to project a fake picture - this I don't doubt a bit.

Could only take care of logistics!!! lol so wrong 😛

WTF I made plan to visit my bank after a long 2 month 😕

Tell those people who called for the bandh to shut up and do their job.

They don't have any job, that's the biggest issue.

A nation-wide 24-hour general strike called by major trade unions Tuesday could cripple the country's transport, banking and postal systems after the government's attempts to avert it remained unsuccessful Monday.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had appealed to all the major trade unions and 5,000 unaffiliated unions to call off the strike. But the unions rejected the appeal as it came only 48 hours before one of the largest strike calls in the history of independent India.

However, a section of the unions appeared to back off. The Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) said it would not be participating in the strike.

"The strike is politically motivated and illegal. We will oppose it tomorrow," Ashok Choudhary, national president of INTUC, told IANS. The INTUC is backed by the Congress party.

Unions linked to other coalition partners of the United Progressive Alliance government, including the one affiliated to Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress -- Indian National Trinamool Trade Union Congress, will also not be participating.

Others, who oppose the country-wide strike call are the ones affiliated to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Dravida Munnettra Kazhagam (DMK).

It seems political considerations have prevailed over their earlier decision to go on strike.
