But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

-
"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country. Yes it is time for General Election.
In the coming months for the 15th Lok Sabha, 714 million eligible voters would be 'bee lining' to the ballot boxes across 29 states,6 union territories to elect 543 members .
'Jaago-re' & 'Ungli utha vote kar' campaigns may remain vibrant to bring the voters to the polling booth. However time alone can testify their success. In the meantime it is worth our while to take notice and behave responsibly and prevent the 'big,small & sundry' political parties from misleading us. Let us not play into their hands and help creating ethnic,religious and linguistic disturbances. It is time for us to start serious "national" debate into options for alternate governance..that is energetic, enthusiastic and youthful in giving a meaningful direction to this intellectually powerful and globally vibrant nation that is waiting on her wings to become a reckoning world leader. Let us come together and initiate 'movements' that will ensure that in future, elections are won not on ability to negotiate maximum number of allies to form the government but on the ability and evidence of responsible governance. After all how long should we remain a "PAPU" at the hands of these highly manipulative ..'big,small and sundry'political parties.
Can we ensure that if not now at least in year 2014 we are able to bring in a government that is young, energetic,responsible and above all remain a positive performer? Can we look forward for this "CHANGE" to happen to our sweet 16th LOK SABHA.?...
Yes "WE CAN"...after all..."PAPU" Can also.. "VOTE OUT"...Sala.....!

A very good effort, but it is yet to be seen how this actually gets converted into bringing a party to power which can boast of a good governance.In today's age of coilation form of government, the agenda's of the political party you vote gets lost with the overall manifesto the "UPA" and "NDA" manifesto wherein the individual agenda of the political party is seen nowhere.

AFRICAN SAFARI.....a Book Review

-
Image
  "African Safari" is an intriguing title for a book that nowhere talks of  any expeditions to animal kingdom in the jungles of Africa. This book is about a cigar smoking business tycoon , a multibillion and multinational conglomerate whose business interest goes beyond his inherited empire of liquor and beer industries and spreads across industries  as diverse  as Airlines, Pharma, Paints, textiles to name a few. The media across the globe dub him as "King of good times".  "African Safari " is the story of "Rana Kapoor" the business tycoon and his business ventures in the French speaking regions of Africa, a continent that is fast emerging as world's big time growth market. The book takes us through  intricacies of clinching  business deals.  It talks about how political lobbying and networking with people in high places and bankers collaborate and become a blue print for M&A  stories. The book tells you that stories of business ventures

Giving words to my thoughts...

I  am returning to this space after 2 years and past 242 posts .It doesn't mean that I have lost my itch  for writing. I have always loved  scribbling words that give voice to the way I look at a situation, or to the way I feel about anything on the ground and under the sky. . My   view  may or may not matter  to the rest. However for me it remains a  mark of my own creativity. My creativity is more about visualizing things that  seldom see the light of the day.   Some call this  “Daydreaming” . I don't mind if people call me  a “wandering mind.” Neither I am bothered about the stigma called  “laziness” attached to it.  I see it as a tonic that energizes me  to think  beyond the realm of possibility For instance no matter how much  ever  I would have   chased my dreams  of becoming a corporate tycoon  I would never have been one simply because I would then lose the privilege and intimacy of being around with familiar and friendly faces sipping beer in crowded bar. I don't l

Who will win BIHAR .. 'Let the last Vote get counted'

This Bihar election is the first major election since the Covid 19 pandamic disrupted the political calender and prompted sweeping measures for social distencing. The three Phase Bihar Poll for 243 Vidhan Sabha seats was completed on the 7th. The turnout for the poll as per media report was 58%. Today is the vote counting day. By the time the sun sets today , the dawn  of the next political regime in the State will emerge. Will this dawn usher in a new political 'don' or  the "Sarkar Raj" will continue  with  their  "All is Well " narrative for another 4 years. Will PM Modi, the over used "trump card" political campainer for NDA  be able  to push  back JDU- BJP led alliance once again into rulling Bihar for another four year terms or will he   concede defeat without playing and  crying foul.  Well whatever be the outcome of today's polling verdict, the politics of vendetta and vilifying the  poor will continue. The problem of unemployment, the
