' 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..?

    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”.

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...
