15th "Lok Sabha" a "Family Album"

-
Cutting across the barriers of "Region& Religion","Cast& Gender",Party &Ideology","Left,Right & Center" all the 543 members of Lok Sabha will remain unanimous and proud in declaring the Indian 'Parliament' a complete "Family Affair"

In the 15th "Lok Sabha" we have two sets of 'Mother&son',4 sets of 'Father&son' besides hoards of sons,daughters,siblings,wives ,cousins and nephews.To add to these family trees we also have a fair dose of 'Bollywood' glamour.All these are bound to make a perfect cocktail for TV channels to scream a banner head line which may be similar to a current TV serial title "Ye Rista Kya Kehlata Hai...?.
The great Indian Democracy has at last been able to emulate the Karl Marx's slogan "From each according to his Ability and to each according to his Need ". However to end the similarity to 'Communism', it has restricted the scope of "ability" & "need" to a defined class of people called "politicians". So what happens for the survival of the other classes like "Slum Dogs" & "Middle Class"..? . No problem..the "Slum Dogs" will remain and keep figuring in the "Things To Do" list of the "political Class". After all they are the secret of their " boost & energy". What about the "Middle Class"? Well they will continue to be the "club sandwiches" for the politician's working lunch.Anyway let us not get furious and start raising our fingers.You know there are still five more years to go before we are allowed to repeat our act called "Ungli Utta aur vote Kar". So till then let's be happy being the "Sandwich" and not feel bad for not being in the "FAMILY ALBUM".
Anyways we have all along enduring being a "FACE IN THE CROWD" ...say "Cheese"

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
