' May ' & ' May not '..

-
I respect my vote and never treat it as a discount coupon to get a 20% off on a branded wear. I take pride in raising my left hand index finger to show off the election ink and remain one among the 714 million voters who casted their ballots in this year 2009 general elections.The out come of this election 'may' or 'may not' take note of Aam Admi's concern for job and prosperity. The outcome of this election 'may' or 'may not' take issue of Aam Admi's security in list of priorities.The out come this election 'may' or 'may not' threadbare the linen of secularism through politics of cast,region and religion.The out come of this election 'may' or 'may not' ensure the 'back' transfer of politicians 'Swiss' 'accounts'. Well all these 'may' and 'may not' will figure in the final run check of media's political analysis. For now however we need to wait for sure to see the 'might' of the 'Saturday Night' 'fever' (May 16th) and watch the arithmetic jugglery of national political parties in creating and re-creating the magic figure of 272. The 'may' & 'may not' factors will surface only when we know who among the "AMs"(Advani,ManMohan) and "PMs"(Pawar &Maya) will eventually win the "Lead India" race.
Will 15th Lok-Sabha usher in a 'vanilla governance' Or a 'tutti phooti' governance..? will it repeat 'Singh as the king'..? . All this and some more may remain a 'Sunday' or a 'someday' 'breaking news' for the TV channels but for Aam Admi the life will continue to remain 'back breaking' until some kind of "26/11" will make him the 'breaking news' for the TV channels...& when that happens the TRP is bound to hit the sky. Incidentally here 'May & 'May not' will never remain a..?

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

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
