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”

CLARITY IN CHAOS

  The Bhagavad Gita is a living scripture  universally relevant  today as it was 5000 years ago in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. It is a divine conversation that took place in the battlefield of Kurukshetra  between two best  friends, Lord Krishna the Charioteer and Arjuna the warrior.  'Bhagavad Gita' is an integral part of of Indian mythology  I have always believed mythology is not for everyone including me.  So when my friend, the author of the book  "Understanding Bhagavad Gita", gave me a  copy to review , I was not very comfortable.  I like  'Arjuna'  started looking for excuses . However one day not very soon , "The Recipe For A Better Life " the part of the title  hooked me into reading it The author has covered the essence of 'Gita' inside the  160 pages, through   eighteen Chapters.  Every chapter has an "Introduction", a "Summary" and a "Reflection" The simplicity of his writing gives...

MY MODISTORY

  I am one among 900  million plus    "nuts and bolts" of our  Democracy , who   become "faceless" faces in the crowd after  every 5 years.  Year 2014 election was in every sense historic It was beyond doubt a landslide victory for BJP and the beginning of  the so called "MODI" Raj  In year 2014 my reason and my josh for  casting my vote for  BJP was "Modi". His speeches were "sparkling confidence" that set ablaze the confidence of  the nation that was trying to rise up from the cesspool of corruption   Looking back now after 11 years I realise that year 2014 was also  the beginning of era called   "Political Branding" that would  covert  a "politician" into a larger than life  "Mega Leader" Perhaps that is the reason that today in politics "anti-incumbency" does not matter at all . Here are  in brief  a Common man's  bunch of thoughts on "Modi Story". These ...
