Shut Up “Mogambo”!

Recently, ‘Karan Johar’ was summoned to Mr. Bal Thackeray’s durbar. He was called their to apologize and say sorry to Mr. Bal Thackeray in person, for using the term “Bombay” instead of “Mumbai” in one of his recent hit film “Wake up Sid”

Once again now this self proclaimed “Mogambo”of ‘Maharashtra’ along with his pair of Popats (“RAJ”& “UDHAV”) and band of ‘tapories’ are consuming the media bytes simply to remain a constant ‘breaking news’ of TV channels. Their intent is to keep ‘live’ their “political vandalism” and ensure that their political life is not written off as quickly as their “political performance” in the state. Their increasing nonsense value is creating a serious dent to common man’s perception of Democracy. Can any government remain a “fiddler in the roof” as the citizens of the nation continue to remain a victim of disgracing regional political bias?

Where was this“Mogambo”and his” band”, When many ‘Waghle',’Waghmare’and 'Bhonsle' were falling down to AK 47 and lying around them where also some other people like 'Yadav’,Tirpathi’and Aslam Khan’. All these people were ordinary ‘Mumbaikars', who got killed that day on the "Veer Chatrapathi Shivagi Marg",when Mumbai remained paralyzed to terrorist’s bullets. Yes it was 26th of November,2008.

You cannot politicize the free moments, and free thinking of the citizens of this country. If I am proud to be an Indian, I am also equally proud of my name. It is my fundamental right to live and move about in the city of Mumbai or elsewhere in India as freely as everybody else. I have every liberty to stand my ground and not apologize for something that I believe in. Last but not the least I don’t need my name to be my ‘passport’ to live in this city. All that I need to make this city my ‘Home” is my love for the city and my ‘pride’ to be a Mumbaikar. This is precisely the sentiment that is running high in every Mumbaikar today. No doubt the bulk of the credit for this should go to none other than the ‘one and only’ Who said “My Name is “Khan”..!

Let us stop ourselves from being “scapegoats” of political frustrations. It is just "right" for all of us to come together as proud “Mumbaikars” and true Indians and ‘rise up’ not to ‘hail Mogambo’ but to SHUT UP “Mogambo”

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...
