Its time enough to be a "Ravan" ?

How can our judiciary as well our constitution give right to terrorists to file mercy petition against death sentences upheld by the highest court of justice in the country. The neck of "Afzal Guru", the master mind behind the terror attack on our Parliament should have been on the 'noose' four years back, when the supreme court had upheld his death sentence. However today he still remains hail & hearty, stealing media time as well political attention.

How can the "chief minister" of a state sit over the file of "Afzal Guru" for four long years, simply because she feels hanging "Afzal Guru" will create law & order problem in the state, where incidentally 'law & order' as it is remains a perpetual question mark..?

In a country where 7000 people die every day of hunger, our government spends over rupees 2 lac a day to maintain and protect "Kassab" the butcher of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack. On date it is estimated that more than forty crores stands spent on Kassab's up-keeping. Further it is also certain that our wonderful "judiciary" will remain magnanimous enough to give "Kassab" the opportunity to appeal against his death sentence to higher courts and then eventually also allow him to file a 'mercy petition' against the death sentence.

The president of India would have to clear 27 'mercy petitions' before she looks at the 'mercy petition' of "Afzal Guru" and now very soon in near future there will come file no 29, seeking "mercy" for "Kassab".

Looking at the goings on in our political theaters as well watching the "dragging feet" of our government in power, it will not at all be anything absurd if an "Aam Admi" visualizes ..

(a)"Afzal Guru" walking away to the 'valley' and becoming a hero of sorts and continues the task of vanishing the valley's 'minority community'
(b)"Kassab" returning to Mumbai "Bees Sal Baad" with his son and pridefully showing him the "Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus" where he once upon in time had massacred hundreds of innocents and had made "Mumbai" literally come to her knees...

Does not all this make us believe that we the "Aam Admi" definitely seem blessed for being able to maintain our sanity..? I am sure we would need "TEN" HEADS" of the legendary "RAVAN" in order to appreciate the ability of our government as well understand the nobility of our politicians.

Should we think it's time enough for us to be a "Ravan" in today's "Ram Raj"..?

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...
