"Jinnah" jaise koi nahi..!

-
Do you think I should have said "Jaswant jaise koi nahi"..for the title of this post. Looking at the marketing prospect of the book "Jinnah":India-Partition-Independence" I am sure even Mr Jaswant Singh would have agreed with me on "Jinnah" jaise koi nahi". Let us get back to Mr.Jinnah.

Any one who has gone through the recorded history of India's Independence at the national Archives of India would agree with me that Mr.Jinnah was no where near to being "Pak" on his ideas of being "SECULAR". Had that been so.! there never would have been today a country called "Pakistan". And our government will not have been investing the "tax payer's" money so heavily on the security of our politicians.

Well let us not fight with our "conscience" over something that happened 62 years ago. Better still let us leave this fight to our political leaders,who anyway don't wear their "conscience" on their "sleeves". Now talking of "sleeves" it reminds me....don't you think it is becoming day by day tough for us to find out what our politicians are carrying up their "sleeves". They ever remain barely visible even while walking & talking on the great Indian roads.Their "talk time" continues to remain 'lasting' and 'ever' going.Thanks to the heavy security ring around them.Now coming to us though we also do our bit of "walking and talking" on the great Indian roads our "talk time" frequently ends abruptly without warning..thanks to our "sans security". Well on all such events when our "talk time" abruptly ends,there is always a lot of action and plenty of "live" coverage on all our national channels....not for any "restoration" of our "talk time"..but simply to glorify on their colour screens..the "heap" of "bloody messy" "flesh" that we instantly turn into ..!!

Please can anyone tell us who are "We"...? We always thought "We" were a face in the crowd...then "We" realised that a 'crowd' never has a "Face"...
Anyway thanks to our politicians they have now given us the name..."Aam Aadmi"
You know something at the end of the day the title of my blog will always remain
"Aam Aadmi jaise koi Nahi"..........
"Jinnah" ho ya "Jaswant"...."Sannu ki aur manu ki farq painda hai"....!

    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”. There was an aptitude test which I cleared but failed the written test. I was happy, a...

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...
