A kick in the butt ! what else..?

Our democratically elected political leaders have proved themselves both as individuals and as cabinet, a colossal error of the electorates.. The party in power should have long back perished for non performance. However they are still very much around broking power and hogging lime light. The credit for this should go to none other than the opposition parties in our parliament which continue to pretend to deliver in spite of knowing its impotency. India today is truly becoming a frustrating scenario of governance & the governed. Being an 'Aam Aadmi' the best way to vent my frustration has always been vandalizing public properties, burning buses and aimlessly throwing stones and finally finding myself sighing & seething with pain lying on the corridors of some govt hospitals with slinged legs & fractured skull waiting to hog some media lime light. You know at times I wonder where this ferocity of city's police force disappear when it comes to hand...

To Hell with it...!

The SEAL team 6, from Abbottabad in Pakistan were busy radioing "Geronimo E-KIA,"(enemy killed in action)....when 'Osama Bin Laden' found himself walking the vast expanse of emptiness millions of miles away from the cozy comforts of 'Abbottabad' Walking through the hazy & clouded emptiness he spotted a frail bespectacled figure standing away from him holding a stick that was almost reaching his shoulder level. Osama found the face very familiar. Yes it was the face of Gandhi, that he was so used to seeing in all the Indian currency notes that his organization 'Al Qaeda' kept importing & re exporting along with other international currencies to keep alive the cause of his 'Jihhad'. Now this is what transpired between OSAMA & GANDHI as they came face to face.... Osama : So you are Mahatma Gandhi.. Gandhi : Please call me simply 'Atma' Gandhi or just Gandhi will do. ' Osama : I am 'Osama Bin Laden. Just tr...

India is running 64 and still she is being addressed as 'young nation'. I am just running 62 and my 'young nation' is all in hurry to hand me a "life term achievement award" by prefixing senior citizen to my name. The job market now has suddenly started overlooking my professional expertise and becoming more fussy about my being 62. Well anyway I don't pity myself for being around all the wonderful years and still remain all excited going on white water river rafting and enjoying MTV bouts. I am happy taking those big strides and large leaps growing my wisdom. Anyway I am not here to win my war for "Cheeni Kum" movement. I am here for waring my reasons for war against corruption. I do support & believe in "War against corruption" that's why I allowed myself to soak away in the sun at Jantar mantar. However now when I am reading the clauses of draft writing of the Lok Pal bill , I am not very sure if thi...

That's America...

It is here stands the great statue of Liberty enlightening the world. Yet there are millions of people around the world who love to hate this country but there are also billions of others around the world who would love to live here. That's America one country across the Atlantic that I would like to visit at least once in my life time. More than Hollywood, Las Vegas and those wild west flock lores what I admire most about America is that, no matter from which nation you hail, no matter which religion or faith you belong to, you have the true freedom from any kind of discrimination. All that matters here is that you belong to America and you are an American. 9/11 terror attack in New York took massive toll of human lives. It shook the world, so also 26/11 terror attack in Mumbai took precious human lives. It shook the world too... Post 9/11 saw America fortifying her security as well untiringly going all out trailing and tracking the perpators of the terror attack without...
