How long will be long enough....

Was it media ? Was it the politicians ? Or was it lack of absolute co-ordination between various govt agencies that left Mumbai burning for over 48 hours on that fateful day of November 26, 2008. All these will remain some of the questions and small talks that will be show cased as debate over our national channel as part of 26/11 anniversary episodes. This will be made an opportunity for the elite and so called intelligencia of our society to come dressed up and brushed up to give their brand 'I' a boost in front of the camera. Perhaps few of the surveyors and family members of the victims will also be interviewed forcing them to go through an agony they want to forget. The public as usual will light up the candles at Gateway of India as a mark of respect to those unlucky departed souls. Now with the sun setting on 26/11,it will be same time one year hence to see and hear the same repeats. When do we, the people realize that terrorism is a political issue and it is a politi...

A conversation with self...

Scams, scandals, corruptions are today the utterly bitterly layers of spread over the democratic surface of this incredible India. You don't anymore need to discuss weather as a starter for a great conversation.Anyways being an ardent supporter of Green Peace movement I would love to start rolling this "conversation with self" with a brief take on climate change and global warming.. The global climate negotiations seems to be always hitting a dead lock because of global corporate lobbying. This could therefore be the reason that we still don't have in place any global legislation on global warming. Well let me move away from the heat before someone attempts to create a political storm of sorts. By the way I still don't understand what makes the world leaders at the recently concluded Leadership summit to believe that India is a power emerged and not any more a power emerging. They hold that our economy is growing at almost 8 to 9 %.Now how is that so when I stil...

It's Different..

You can't label me Maggi mania just because I am using their ad line for this post. Also I should say I have never ever tasted 'maggi' though it ever remains a great snacking for my family. Now 'it's different' when I say I love 'Maggie' because I am now talking of the character in the comic strip "Bringing Up father". However unlike Mr.Jiggs (Maggi's husband) I continue to be in the working class and don't forsee inheriting any wealth to make me a nouveau-riche. Now whatever I said so far do inspire me to use this post to write something about "making a difference" & truly it's different... I believe that in today's complex world nobody can stop getting into trouble one way or the other. Anything from your boss(HARI SADU) to your credit card and your car parking space can create trouble for you. However if you are tactful in handling the situation,you are able to get out of it and 'makes the difference'....

Will we..? Mr.Obama..!

We are the largest democracy in this world. We are seen today as a global weight that has the potentials of turning around the economy of the oldest democracy across all the continents. There is no country in this world that is not wooing us for their own economic stability and well being. We have surely emerged as one true colossus figure to the united states of America. President Barrack Obama's indispensable India is all set to welcome the 44th President of America to the negotiating table, that may lead to giving jobs to million Americans back home,that may become a potential catalyst in bringing back the shine into the lack luster American economy. with all the President's men,an army of sniffing dogs, US secret service agents, helicopters,ship and high end security instruments President Obama's Saturday to Monday visit,should find Mumbai and Delhi virtually turned into a sort of Fort Knox. President Obama has already proved to be a great orator. He has already ach...
