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 still find acute Poverty,food shortage and unemployment scattered all around and every where in this country. Also the spectrum of crime & corruptions continue to keep haunting the every day government almost at a speed that may be well compared to 2 G spectrum which is currently turning out to be a point of no return episodes for the national channels

There is no doubting that we have dynamic private sectors. However their main energy remains invested in lobbying the govt corridors for growth,power and land for their already pampered wealth and ego. The Global Leaders believe that India today is critical in world order. However I find that this is not empowering our national government to re-distribute the accumulated commonwealth to the millions of meek poor and oppressed human being,for whom 'being human' is more a curse than any boon....

Now the problem of talking politics is that you simply keep going without knowing how to stop and where to stop. This is just like our politicians who never know when to stop and where to stop when it comes to looting wealth,health and well being of an economy that is marked indispensable for an all round growth and prosperity in today's environ of a globalized economy....

Anyways before I sign off I wish I could line up some rapid questions,but it doesn't go well without coffee hampers. Therefore this is myself saying all is well..as I sign off " a conversation with self"....

The reason why you fine acute poverty around even with such GDP growth is due to the "greenbuck" being retained at the hands of a few number of "superhero's" who manage to make money through innovative "scams".

Someone told and it appears true that the GDP growth and "shining India" do not necessarily reflect the actual India.....

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 ...

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...
