"XIX Commonwealth Games" a race for success..!

-
We are today watching "Connaught Place" the very "Heart" of this city, going through an 'open heart surgery'. We don't yet know how long the 'operation' will last. However what we know is that this "Heart" of Delhi" has to be found "beating healthy" and 'strong' in just about '263' days. The "roads and flyovers" ,the very "Arteries" of this city remain chocked up with anything that has "four wheels and something". We don't yet know if the 'authorities' will be able to make these roads and flyovers "accident free". However what we know is that these "Arteries" has to flow without 'blockade' in just about '263' days. "Transportation" which are the very "limbs" of this 'city', are currently hanging 'loose' on the 'shoulders'. The "low floor" 'DTC' buses are "catching fire' almost on a weekly basis. We don't know if the 'authorities' will take serious notice of this. However what we know is that these "limbs" has to be back on the "shoulders" and swinging fine" in just about 263 days. "Localities,colonies and streets" the very 'skin' of this city, remain "poke marked" with "crime,rowdyism and hooliganism". We don't see any treatment in progress for erasing these 'marks'. We don't know as yet if the authorities are prepared enough to safe guard "human lives". However what we know is that this "Skin" has to be all "glowing" and "scar free" and remain "safe" for all human lives in just about 263 days.
There are still scores of "Commonwealth" projects that will not have the luxury of a "9" months wait for "delivery". We don't see if the 'authorities' are geared up for a "Cesarean". However what we know is that these "projects" have to be 'delivered' and remain "fighting fit" in just about 263 days..
Our CM Smt Sheila Dikshit may have used the word "nervous" as a matter of "expression". However the fact is that the "City" today is on the verge of a massive "hemmorage". However what we know is that the "hemmorage" has to be arrested and the city made all "Gutsy" in just about 263 days.
The year 2010 "Commonwealth Games" scheduled to begin this "October", may look a "mission impossible". However what we know is that in next 263 days, Delhi has to be glittering and playing a most "hospitable" and charismatic host for "XIX COMMONWEALTH GAMES" scheduled to begin on 3rd of October 2010.
Let us be the part of this "Race for Success".

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
