Wah Kya Haath Hai..!

Their performance in the just concluded '5' year series was dismal.They failed to give both a responsible and safe governance.Well so what.? The 'Aam Admi' still decides to stretch his hand all out to bail them out for the next round of '5'year series. Is not this very true..!
Hockey may remain the national game of "chak they India" but it is cricket that runs in the blood of the 'Aam Admi'. The average 'Aam Admi' is a street level 'cricketer'. The maximum he would have played would be either for his "gali" or his "basti", yet he can rattle out cricketing statistics at the drop of the hat.
When it comes to national politics he prefers to lean on test cricketing strategy rather bank on quick 'T20' 'IPL' series. The "Congress" may have a record of bad scoring on the pitch. However their consistency of staying in the field is amazing.
They may have bowled short deliveries. Also they may not be quick in running between the wickets. However their ability to hold on to the bat till the time there is an 'appeal' for bad light is commendable. The best thing about the team "Congress"..is the 'captaincy'. Their "coach" by default remains team's non playing captain when it comes to setting up the 'field' and deciding the 'batting' orders.In short the team knows when to 'swing' and when to 'duck' a ball. Perhaps these are some of the lead lines which allowed the 'Aam Admi' to decide on the team "Congress" for the coming up "Lead India" '5' year series.

Now will the gamble pay off..?. Well that's a "stake" the Aam Admi is so used to taking. After all he knows 'cricket' is a game of chance. Incidentally my gut sense says this time the 'Aam Admi' may remain "Lucky" by chance. Who said dreams don't come true..? Here look at my hand and say "Wah Kya Haath Hai"...! and look at me "Kya cool Hai Ham..!

    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...
