"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.

    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...
