Love Aaj Kal...!

Our political Leaders are very much in 'love' with the 'Aam Aadmi'.They can go on and on talking about the 'Aam Aadmi'. They are so passionate about the 'Aam Aadmi' that at times they even choke while speaking about Aam Aadmi's a "tryst with destiny".

Most of us generally associate 'Love Story' with saga of "Laila Majnu" and the classic tragedy of Romeo&Juliet. So when our 'Political leaders' talk about their unending love for 'Aam Aadmi'....it is confusing and sounds crazy.You bet it is 'different.'..!

Let us now very quickly go over a few of the 'reasons' for our political leaders' "Love" for "Aam Aadmi". When an 'Aam Aadmi' elects him to 'Power'..there comes an instant transformation in him......!!!!
His living status gets elevated.Fame,power and Money makes him arrogant.He gradually becomes inaccessible to 'Aam Aadmis' welfare and well being. In the name of 'reform' he quickly learns to 'reform' his own life style. His house becomes a fortress. For him 'cost of living' becomes nothing more than a part of his 'public address'. For him the 'Aam Aadmis' fear & anguish about terrorist &terrorism...is just some 'statistics' to be used on the floor of the 'Parliament' as an historical reference. His preference of transportation shifts to 'Bentley' and SUV like 'Hummer'. For him and his family's medical needs..."London" becomes the 'medical destination'...and last but not the least, neither he nor his family members have ever to walk the crowded streets & inhale the open road side filth...therefore the chances of their getting "influ".."en..zed" by a bloody 'bird' or "swine" remains out of question...!
In nutshell....but for "Aam Aadmi".....all these would have been a sheer 'Mission Impossible'. No..wonder... for his being crazy in love with "Aam Aadmi"..who else..! but this 'Aam Aadmi'.. has given him the liberty to re-define Democracy...as......."ME,MINE & MYSELF"....Truly for the politician today..it is "Mera Desh Mahan"..from the word go...!

However, an unanswered question that remains in my mind is...why the "Aam Aadmi" still goes........emotional....when he attempts to hum ..this Bollywood 'number' .....'yeh mera India'.....'I love my India'...
...Well that's what I call the incredible "twist"in this "Love Aaj Kal"....After all India today.........continues to be Incredible............KOI..SHAQUE....?

In conversation with Bapu....

With 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' and 'Abide with Me'the Soul-stirring martial tunes and solemn drum beats at the majestic Raisina Hills the "Beating the Retreat" ceremony marked the conclusion of the week long ceremonial functions of India celebrating her 62nd year of Republic.As the illumination lit up the edifices of Imperial India..my thought reached out to that day into the history of independence that finally dropped the curtain on a life called "Gandhi"...the man whose experiment with truth may not have jelled with today but his name has truly become the brand that remain most misused & manipulated both in trade & politics.As I key-in these lines I can read out the conversation that would have transpired between the "soul of Nation" (SON) and "Mahatma Gandhi"(Bapu)....Read on what I read..... SON: Bapu it's me,are you sleeping....? BAPU: How can you ask that...don't you know this day in the year 1948..I was gu...

Just about...being a "Father"

A new world greeted them with smile and happiness when they... "Just met" and soon for them the wedding bells rang... Now, they are happily lost in their own world & together are learning to set- up a 'Home’ of their own... away from what was a home for them a little earlier in the year....That's "his" daughter & "his" son in-law. ..Being very adorable, the house has become little less chirpy after her moving out….. …."He" now does feel the boredom...but will never show it off... Because "he" is the father ...and expected to put on a stern face & always remain a 'matter of fact' person..... He is all set to explore & build-up a learning curve that may see him well in life in about a couple of years from now. After his graduation he may probably start living away from home in a distant land in pursuit of excellence...That's "His" son Being the darling of the house, "he" is...

But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country. Yes it is time for General Election. In the coming months for the 15th Lok Sabha, 714 million eligible voters would be 'bee lining' to the ballot boxes across 29 states,6 union territories to elect 543 members . 'Jaago-...
