Who am I..? a Common man.!..

"Sare Jahan se achaa hindustan hamara.......". The song reeks of patriotism,still I love this song a great deal. Perhaps my love for my Hindustan continues to remain unconditional...

In my own Hindustan I remain harassed and frustrated by the cost of living and my every day struggle in meeting the needs and necessities of my family. Many a times my body & mind boils in unrest but I keep the lid shut.I know when my lid will burst it will only see me strewn around, leaving behind a family in plight and turmoil. From what I say,I don't mean I am a coward because I am simply not a coward...

I fight for my rights everyday with the different governmental and municipal bodies. I do protest loudly whenever I am not able to take the soaring inflations & the all around chaotic attitudes in my stride. I do join those frequent candle march processions called up by NGOS in protest of some or other terrorist attacks in the country. I don't blink an eye lid when I am asked to donate blood for a Thalassemia kid. I do stand up as a face in the crowd to fight the establishments against corruptions & scams. I never ever have missed filing my tax returns, to protect the meager means that I am left with after those TDS & Cess. ..

Having said all those I continue to restrain myself reporting crimes & corruptions in my neighborhood because I remain scared of political,politicians & the establishments retaliations for standing up for right cause,right reasons and at times for my very rights. After all who am I...? a common man...!

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 ...
