"Look how much they are eating".!

Mr.BUSH.. Welcome to our land of "Atithi Devo Bhava".This is greetings from your so called classified Indian 'middle class'. I know you would prefer to say
"How are you guys" and go around patting our backs. We appreciate that.However being 350 million people,it is not humanly possible for you to do just that.Incidentally in our country we are more popularly called the "Aam Aadmi". You may relate us to the ordinary people of America. However here we are much more exposed to harsh and rough realities of living.I wish you would have come here as a "Pilgrim than as a tourist",that is what "Martin Luther King" had said and that is what we also say to our guest from other lands.
The every day life of the "Aam Aadmi" here remains incredibly unpredictable and chaotic.Thanks to our "Democracy",with every elections,we continue to remain an "Audacity of Hope".Believe me,the lavish 'lunch' ,'cocktail dinners',and unending 'munching' that you are witnessing in this 'Leadership Summit' is our way of welcoming our guest. For us every guest is a GOD. At times we believe in GOD more than ourselves. May be this is why we never say "Look how much they are eating"!

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...

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-...

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...
