"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"....!

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
