Political 'spectators'

while respecting the will of the majority, "Democracy"zealously protect the fundamental rights of individuals and minority groups.A serious student of political science will appreciate and as well understand this. But what about the 'Aam Admi"? Does he at all believe that "democracy zealously protect the fundamental rights of individual and minority groups". Let us look at some of the the day to day events,to understand the "fundamentals" of Democracy in action. Let us check these out:
When an 'Aam Admi" goes to the government hospital for serious medical treatment,the hospital very often sends him away,because of shortage of beds.However a 'politician' easily gets himself admitted to the hospitals,when ever he wants evade arrest for scams or crimes
A road accident victim,has to wait for the police to complete formalities,before he is able to get the medical attentions. Many a times this wait costs him his life. However if the victim is a 'politician' or his family an entire team of doctors attend on him & police formalities takes the back seat.
Whenever an 'Aam Admi',kills a goon in self defence,he is immediately arrested,quickly tried for the crime and put behind the bar for taking the law into his hand. However when a son of a politician,shoots a bartender point blank just because he was not served that "one for the road" drink , there is neither a quick arrest,nor a fast trial.In fact more often ,he is arrested,only after candle light protest by public.Again an ordinary prisoner is required to pay to buy his parole,however for a politician or his family,a 'parole' is always at 'will' and a phone call away.
Well there is no point listing 'Aam Admi's' frustration,it remains unending though genuine. Incidentally after reading the sample events,it hardly makes sense to sense an 'Aam Admi's' reaction to a "Democracy that is in action".
Let us accept the fact that this "Democracy" is going to be in fashion,as long as the the 'ramp' here remains an exclusive 'cat walk' of politicians & their family. As for ' 'Aam Admi', he will continue to carry on his life and remain an helpless political spectator of Life & style of the politicians,who incidentally will continue to hold the proprietary rights of Democracy in India...What say "Aam Aadmi"!

Agreed with this real and practicle facts. But who is responsible for this? Who selects the politicians? This is a society where people selects and peoples are elected. This things (read corruption) doesnt arise in a day or two. But the way we the majority (read as the voters who voted) people of India selects. Who is there for long in the politics selects the course of our democracy whethere some sections to be added or removed or some law to be formed. The outcome..? they have pioneered and world class officers that are their secretories and on top positions by craking the hardest examinations like IAS. The politicians then cretes the society to their own will that actually reflects in then decades. And we start weeping about the things. Even in the such cases the police themself become handicapt and so on.
So for all it is think before we vote and think before we settle our mind to some political thinking and contradict others. Think once what if I am wrong?

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...
