"Gandhi" a name to reckon !

-
Had it been names like 'John','Johnny','Janardhan',I would have casually said what's in a name! and left it there for the "naseeb"to take on. However you can't remain so casual about a name called "GANDHI". Today this name has proved to be much more than Domino's power pizza because the "aam aadmi" is loving it. Honestly be it Mac or Donald....this is no branding campaign. This name "Gandhi" today dominates the political power of the largest democracy in the world.This name doesn't need muscle power to inspire "aam aadmi". 'Symbolic' gestures of "austerity" drives and "cattle-travel" are enough to keep this "Gandhi family".roaring with power. Democracy at the end of it all remains for them simply a "family affair".
Far away from this 'Gandhi' of today..there once stood a "Gandhi" who dared the mighty British Empire with his 'simplicity' and 'tolerance' to "Quit India".For him 'austerity' and 'cattle travel' was never "symbolic gestures" but a way of life. He became the very "Heart Beat" for millions of Indians in their collective struggle to 'dare','dream' and 'deliver' this country from the slavery of the "British Raj".

"Mohan Das karam Chand Gandhi" does truly remain a "Mahatma Gandhi". His being the "Father of this Nation" may be symbolic,but if you pause a while to listen to your "heart beats",I am sure you will realise that he dared & suffered them all just for 'me','you' and 'us'.For him every "Amar,Akabar & Anthony" mattered. Simply put the name "Gandhi" may not always remain a 'name' to reckon,but definitely the 'name' "Mahatma Gandhi" will continue to remain an "icon" and "inspiration" across the world "today and tomorrow"..& may be there after too...!

oh shut the fuck up. while sindhis and punjabis were being innocently killed, gandhi stood back and told indians to do nothing for sindhis and punjabis and just welcome them.

he was the one who agreed to giving away ALL OF SINDH when it was well known that eastern sindh was a HINDU/SIKH MAJORITY region. HINDU/SIKH sindhis suffered most from partition because of this bald naked pedophiliac bastard.

sindhis will never, ever forgive MOHANDAS gandhi (NOT FUCKING MAHATMA), indian national congress, india and pakistan for its sins in 1947.

FUCK MOHANDAS GANDHI.

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
