Sanjay Dutt TADA case - The much awaited judgement!!!

Finally after many trials and tribulations, Sanjay Dutt was sentenced to six years' rigorous imprisonment in the 1993 Mumbai bombings case. Mannn I m feeling so sick today.Guyz I am a big fan of "Baba".I was really praying to God since morning that he receives minimum punishment or no punishment at all.Uff..

Afterall everyone knows dat he left all the previous mistake n bad conducts even left consuming drugs n was heading for a brighter life..I just don’t understand - Jab ek daaku valmiki ban sakta hai… then y not sanju baba. The court ulterior motive should not be just of punishing the accused ..it only makes it worst..should mainly focus on making the accused a gud human being n not making him bad forever.. Juss wanna ask law one thing... Wt will he becum after completing the charged sentence staying wid all those hardcore criminals..certainly a "BHAI".Isn't it so? So the law should think on the positive side too.

Sanjay Dutt's case in 1993 Bombay Blasts.

Sanjay Dutt was today awarded six-year rigorous imprisonment by a special Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court for illegal possession of arms.

The court also cancelled Dutt's bail plea, and ordered that the actor be taken into custody immediately.

Special Judge P D Kode also imposed a fine of rupees 25,000 on Dutt, and rejected his probation plea.

"Sanjay made others commit offence. Sanjay's act has not harmed anyone, but possession of AK-47 was dangerous," Judge Kode observed.

Dutt's friends, Kersi Adajenia and Yusuf Nullwala, convicted under the Arms Act, were awarded two-year and five-year jail terms respectively, while Russi Mulla, who kept Dutt's pistol, was released on probation, after furnishing a bond of one lakh rupees.

According to the the Probation of Offenders Act, a person convicted of any offence other than the one punishable with death or life imprisonment, can be released on probation instead of serving the sentence in prison.

Dutt has already spent nearly 15 months, as an undertrial before being released on bail in 1996.

On November 28, the TADA court found Dutt guilty under the Arms Act and not the TADA Act.

The minimum sentence for the charges under which Dutt has been found guilty is three years. The 15 months (from July 4, 1994 to October 16, 1995) that Dutt has already served in jail will be deducted from the sentence.

Dutt was booked for possessing an AK-56 rifle that had come in a consignment of arms and explosives meant for use in the Mumbai serial blasts that killed 257 people.

Dutt had admitted to the charges in his confession made shortly after his arrest in on April 22, 1993. But later retracted the same.

He had confessed that underworld don Abu Salem visited his Pali Hill home in January 1993. Samir Hingora and Hanif Kadawala, the two close associates of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and proprietors of Magnum Video brought Salem to his home, he had said.

He further said that out of the three AK-56 rifles brought by Salem and some magazines and 250 rounds, he kept only one AK-56 rifle.

Dutt said that he needed the weapons to protect his family as threatening calls were received during the 1992-93 Mumbai riots. In spite of repeated complaints, he said, there was no police protection given to him or his family.

But when he heard about the blasts and the arrests of Samir and Hanif, he asked his friend Yusuf Nulwalla to destroy the gun.

On June 1, Samir Hingora - the man who supplied the AK-56 rifle to Dutt was awarded nine years' rigorous imprisonment.

The Comedy Shows : It Sucx Now!

One year back when I saw the "Laughter Challenge" that seemed to me quite interesting but now every channel is ready to suck by flooding of such shows. Earlier When Laughter Challenge used to come on Star One, everything was very good on that show, whether that was the Host or the contestant, now the contestant became the host in other shows which is very Pathetic. Even News Channels are broadcasting these kind of shows, sometimes u can’t differentiate between News Channels and Entertainment channels. Mann this really SUCKS now.

"Comedy Champion" on Sahara One hosted by Khayali, "Aisi ki Taisi" on Aaj Tak hosted by Raju Srivatava, "Comedy Ka Badsshah:Hassega India "(?) on Sony Entertainment Television hosted by Rakhi sawant and Raju Srivastava and many more but none of them brigns smile on your face, but yes u feel like banging your head because of their cheap activity and third class jokes.

Think over it once>>>

01. The greatest bliss is that the innermost thought CAN remain undivulged. If others knew what we ‘can’ think, there could be a war everyday.
02.
I want to live in the world on my terms – Hemmingway
03. Do the best things in life come free or is there no free lunch?
04. Do good intentions justify mismanagement?
05. Treat to the one who explains to me James Joyce’s Ulysses.
06. What did Vaughan mean when he said, “I saw eternity the other night”?
07
. Is Jackie Chan a masochist? Otherwise, why does he hurt himself in all the films and have it shown to us in the end of the film.
08. What would a refrigerator or a train be called if a ‘Telugu’ or a ‘Hindi’ man were to invent them?(there are no words for these things in these languages)
09. The word ‘like’ has the maximum number of meanings.
10.
What would all those on-looking foreigners be thinking when our heroes and heroines rehearse/shoot for dance/song sequence for our movies in those foreign locales?
11. Can your current ‘good deeds’ cleanse of your ‘past sins’?
12. Will people stop calling Photocopy as "XEROX"?
13. Will maidservants stop asking for ‘surf’ when they want washing powder.
14. Rebel destroys the system; revolutionary transforms it.
15. Culture is a way of life; not something, which happened in past; nor something, which is preserved in museums.



Post Scriptum:
Point 2 – That he later committed suicide is a different matter.
Point 4 – Behind Nehru’s misplaced planning on making India a superpower through socialistic philosophy were good intentions.
Point 10 – It is more interesting to watch these people in the background (with question mark on their faces) than watch our heroes and heroines dance.
Point 14 – In India, many activists do rebellious/destructive activities in the name of revolution /constructive activity (Medha Patkars of the world included).

Going for a correspondence MBA – Time to rethink!

I have come across many people who say that they have a "correspondence MBA" and therefore they should be given weightage for it. I personally believe that, simply, a correspondence MBA is useless. Wastage of time alongwid money. Correspondence accounting courses, technical courses and even economics courses are ok, but a correspondence MBA course, definitely not.

An MBA is not about mugging a few theories and appearing for an exam. Many students, especially the ones who go to tier II and tier III MBAs view the MBA as just another course, or as I often put it, "Advanced BCom".


An MBA is not about Accounting, Costing, Marketing and Operations Research papers. It is about being able to learn concepts and applying them. So, you spend time learning these concepts in your classes and you apply them through your case studies, the projects you take up and the internship that you do during your summer months.

The other thing that a good MBA course teaches is "you are not the only one who is smart". Put in a class of 60 odd people from varied backgrounds - including ones with experience, without experience, military experience, bureaucracy experience and varied educational and social backgrounds - and what you get is a pure intellectual buffet. In a case study, you would think you have covered all angles when a team blows you with another 30 different angles.

The MBA is also a race against time. You are expected to complete 3 or 8 different case studies within 24 hours. How do you do it? Time management, planning are things that really, cannot be taught beyond a certain point. You got to pick up skills as you go along.

It is about team work. For the individual contributor - or those who can never work in a team, it is about being able to work with a team. For the rest, it is about being able to work on your strengths or being able to reduce your weakness by trying something you have never tried.


On the other side a Correspondence teaches you very little. It prescribes a few books and offers you some notes. Yes, it does involve commitment of time, but really not as much as the other options and then again, NO interactions with other teams or professors.

Mannn just reading a few courses and mouthing a few jargons is simply not enough for an MBA (though you can argue that most MBAs at the end are reduced to only that).

At the end of it my simple advice. If at all, you want an MBA and you cannot take a two year full time course, look at a one year MBA or a part time MBA. Part time MBAs (that demand a fair time while you are working) are tough. I would go so far as saying, it is tougher than a regular full time course. Usually the people who enrol for a part time course or a one year executive MBA are very committed and it does make for a wonderful experience. This is what I have gathered from some of my past seniors who have taken the 3 years part time course at XLRI, Jamshedpur.

Well,Queries,if any, to the above post will be answered by Mr.Anil (my management pal in yesteryears) on my behalf.
