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.

    I was the youngest of the 4 siblings and the only son ,but that  never  made me precious and  pampered by the family. My father was in the army. We all  grew up in cantonment environment, hopping almost every 2 years  from one Cantonment to the other  Like from Allahabad’s Draupadi Ghat we came to Calcutta’s Fort William and  then to  Bangalore Cantonment  Bangalore was the only city where we  remained stationed for almost 5 years before getting  shifted to Delhi Cantonment in 1961, 4th of July to be precis It was the year 1959-60 and I was about 10 years old  studying in the 6th form in the Army’s  Regimental school . Around this time my  father decided to put me into “King George Military School” .This  was a ‘day’ Boarding School exclusively for Defence personnels . It is now called “Rashtriya Military School”. There was an aptitude test which I cleared but failed the written test. I was happy, a...

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...

The Blessed Curse "Nostalgic flashes" !

   When you already  know a little about the  book it does create an  interest “Blessed Curse” was just that.  This book is about an  Indian middle class household  that is holding together three generations in generous harmony with all those ifs and buts about the generation gaps  The book undoubtedly is  an inspirational read  especially at a  time when the concept of   “nuclear households", remains a widely spread idea among the Millennials  It recalibrates your mind to question , debate ,accept and  celebrate every generation’s point of view  This book is the story of Jagdamba Prasad & his wife Pushpa Devi living with their son, daughter in law and grandchildren in one of the colonies of East Delhi’. The author in this book takes the reader through good, bad and ugly about each generation. The beauty is, it does not come as a bout of episodes but as “cosy chats” between the members of the family...
