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fear & anguish about terrorist &terrorism...is just some 'statistics' to be used on the floor of the 'Parliament' as an historical reference.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....?

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
