No Magic ..Just a 'Belief"

Alright its been a while since I've wrote anything but I'm back.I just finished reading 'David J.Schwartz's "The Magic Of THINKING BIG".It not only tells you to set your goals high but it also leads you into exceeding it ...through its 337 pages ....it keeps the reader motivated .....at the end of it "The Magic Of Thinking Big" is all about how your perseverance and 'can do' attitude can make your dreams come true...
.......and how true it is.... I just realized as I read the week's News head line that said...."BARACK OBAMA clinches Democrats nomination for the 'White House'.
Barack Obma, an African American and visibly a total stranger to power politics of Washington....to have come this far is a sort of live endorsement to the Book "The Magic of Thinking Big"..
At the time of 9/11 Obama was told his name would probably finish his political career since Obama sounded too similar to Osama...and here he is today on his way to Washington and probably to White House.
I and countless others don't believe that 'failure is impossible,and here we have a person who just proved us wrong.

We don't yet know if Obama's 'The Audacity Of Hope" is going to take him to 'White House' or is it going to make him a 'John Galt' of "Atlas Shrugged
However one thing is certain ...coming days will find the Americans debating on 'Age'& 'Experience', 'Colour & Change' ...while the world will await the final outcome in 'Black & White'.

I was actually wondering where were you after the first entry in the blog.

"Who is John Galt?" actually also sums up the way the average Indian common man sums up and resigns to his rigours of daily life and the fight of survival in current scenario of rising prices and falling moralities, in very much the same way that the phrase becomes an expression of helplessness and despair at the state of the world in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged.

I hope that your next entry in the blog dwells in the vicinity of the hypocrite society that we live in rather than looking out to the US to quote reflections from life.

None the less, its a pleasure to read through your entries.

Keep Going...!!

DE LHI Gasping!!

Delhiites have turned indifferent to the " Toxic Air" that they breath They have stopped bothering about the "smoke screen " that is keeping away "Sun light" from giving them the ray of "HOPE" to keep their lungs "Sun Shined" . Like "AGE" for them now even the AQI (Air Quality Index) has become a sheer number .They have long since stopped reacting to the AQI shooting up. They have lost their "JOSH"" to protest for their fundamental right to breath. Delhi is the very seat of the duly elected "POWER". of World's largest Democracy The "custodian" of this Democracy reside here at "7 LOK KALYAN" but remain hardly visible in and around the city This "custodian" continues to remain the very "Most" 'Frequent Flier' of our Democracy and the only 'STAR ' campaigner for the political party that he comes from. Getting re-elected...

MY MODISTORY

I am one among 900 million plus "nuts and bolts" of our Democracy , who become "faceless" faces in the crowd after every 5 years. Year 2014 election was in every sense historic It was beyond doubt a landslide victory for BJP and the beginning of the so called "MODI" Raj In year 2014 my reason and my josh for casting my vote for BJP was "Modi". His speeches were "sparkling confidence" that set ablaze the confidence of the nation that was trying to rise up from the cesspool of corruption Looking back now after 11 years I realise that year 2014 was also the beginning of era called "Political Branding" that would covert a "politician" into a larger than life "Mega Leader" Perhaps that is the reason that today in politics "anti-incumbency" does not matter at all . Here are in brief a Common man's bunch of thoughts on "Modi Story". These ...
