Here nothing but "Truth"..Pays.!

-
My childhood has seen me growing up hearing episodes from Ramayana & folklore's of Harischandra's honesty. It may sound silly and little late in life to debate on virtues of being honest. If you are looking for money,fame & power in life I am sure that your 'honesty' will remain your worst hindrance. That even Mr.Tom, Mr.Dick & Mr Harry would agree. You see in a real world you need to remain manipulative, street smart and never shy away from lying. This mantra if practiced to perfection will reasonably ensure that you are adequately comfortable in spite of recession and inflation notwithstanding.
That said I am really overwhelmed to realise that the 'reality show'"Sach Ka Samna" in one of those TV channels ... pays you quite lavishly for being honest and truthful in front of the camera. Sadly you and I and all those Tom Dick & Harry cannot be a part of this reality show, since this is strictly by invitation and you can't expect an "Aam Admi" to be an invitee to any place other than the "polling Booth" and the "kumb ka Mella".!
Now it is quite amusing to find our politicians going all out to ban the show on moral grounds. It seems the questions & answers put on this show keep reminding these politicians of their own ever growing 'mis-adventures' that they so thrive on and are for 'vote sake' not able to cash it on a 'Reality Show"

An "Aam Admi" if he does not like a show, will simply switch to the next channel...but politicians will never want to do that. Instead they will keep making noise as though trying to wish away their own "Sachai Se AmnaSamna"

Let us understand that TRP is all about viewer's choice..so what's wrong if a channel carries on airing a show ..which is just two episodes old and already creating TRP waves...& what's wrong if some 'rich & famous are willing to make a 'show' of their sleezee......confessions. After all when it comes to 'Money' for some it is never 'enough' to say 'enough' and that's 'moment of truth'.....what say "Rajeev..?

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
