For the “Tiger” not in the “wood”..?

In the very recent past I had the opportunity to visit both “Ranthambore” National Park” off “Sawi Madhopur” and “Jim Corbett” off “Ranikhet”. I spent my ‘patience’ and two nights on the “Machans”, yet I could not even spot the 'pug marks' of “tiger" any where. It does send me into believing that “Tigers” have vanished from the “woods”. I remain now totally confused on the government’s arithmetic of “1411”.

Why not we seriously contemplate to target on some other ‘animal’ for our “national symbol” instead of living in vanity with “Tigers” that are there no more. Here are some options that come to my mind.

“Jungle Bees”. In case we can call this an 'animal'? They have the potential for dispersing unruly political 'rallies'. A heat on their “butt” is enough to ignite them. However I am not sure if the “Bees” have butts”? ...

“Cows”. They are found in plenty, on our streets and roads. It will also help in preventing these stray “animals” from ending up in "Abattoirs”. However I strongly feel there could be some protest. Let us therefore not play with "Secularism",since it always leads into bloody riots. Let us check my last option..

"Dogs". I feel "Dogs" can represent our national behavior very correctly. Also there is no dearth for "Dogs" in our country. Again it will help in cutting the "civic cost" in administrating the stray dogs . Incidentally the 'bark' of the "Dog" is like that of our 'politicians'. Like "Dog" bites , our 'politician's "bite" at times can also prove 'fatal' for the "Aam Aadmi". The "Dogs" 'wag' their tails, so do our "bureaucrates" & "administrators" "wag" in front of the politicians. The "Dogs" keep their tongue "hanging and watery" so do our "politicians" when it comes to "money,power and fame". "Dog" remains ‘faithful' to his ‘master’ .The “Aam Aadmi” also remains 'faithful' to their elected “politicians”. You see he keeps electing them to 'power', knowing well that they will continue to make his living ‘miserable”. By all account therefore "Dog" fits the "Bill" for “National Animal”.

Now this is for the”Tiger” ‘lovers’. “Majesty, Courage, Power and Grace”, these are the qualities of a "Tiger". Till the time our 'Leaders" are able to emulate these 'qualities' and till the time these 'qualities' remain visible and vibrant in our "Parliament" we cannot 'golf' around for the "Tiger" not in the "Wood"..!

DE LHI Gasping!!

Delhiites have turned   indifferent to the " Toxic Air" that they breath  They have stopped bothering about the "smoke screen " that is keeping away   "Sun light"  from giving them the ray of "HOPE"  to keep their lungs "Sun Shined" . Like "AGE"  for them now  even the  AQI (Air Quality Index) has become a sheer number .They have long since stopped reacting to the AQI  shooting up. They have lost their "JOSH"" to protest for their fundamental right to breath. Delhi is the very seat of the duly elected "POWER".  of  World's largest Democracy  The "custodian" of this Democracy reside here  at   "7 LOK KALYAN"  but remain hardly visible in and around the city This  "custodian"  continues to remain the very "Most"  'Frequent Flier' of our Democracy and  the only  'STAR '  campaigner for the political party that he comes from.    Getting re-elected...

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 ...
