Who hauled away our "Wisdom"..?


I never remember visiting the dentist for extracting my wisdom tooth. Now going by the statistical data, does that make me part of the 35% of population who have no 'wisdom' tooth'.Who cares. I still have teeth enough to chew away my frustrations of being on the electoral roll of world's largest democracy.

Democracy has always remained an instant fascination for most of us. The concept "for the people, by the people, of the people" always make us feel great in spite of being just ordinary people. However what continues to surprise me, is the fact that we keep failing in making a right choice of electing a right political party to power. I realize we hardly have any choice. No point therefore to discredit our intelligence for our failure. Anyways how long can we continue to ignore our fundamental right to demand good governance.

We are all members of the civil society, yet many like me will never endorse killing all our waking & productive hours in engaging the entire government machinery in debating , tom-toming, brow beating and brick bating on issue of corruptions & black money.

Along with a bad governance, now we have in hand some social activists, a over glorified Yoga entrepruner and a limbless political party behaving like ringmasters and subjecting us into believing that our very survival is at stake because of corruption & black money.

These leaders are of late making a mockery of 'hunger' by constantly threatening to go on hunger strike and eat away public and media time. Perhaps they aren't aware that more than50 lac people in this country die of hunger every year. Perhaps they are ignorant that thousands of people here daily succumb to poverty, crimes, rapes, stampede & accidents besides starvation.

An unmanned ship MV "Wisdom" ran aground off Juhu beach. Perhaps it will be hauled soon to its destination. However the question to ponder here is when will, we the ordinary people wise-up to our wisdom and keep away from getting hauled by every aspiring politicians & political parties for their cause , at our cost. Will someone tell me ..who hauled away our "Wisdom"....?

None, Mr Kayarbee. We never had it. Were it not so, we would not have languished for centuries in slavery.There is nothing special about our wisdom tooth, if we have it at all, except that it adds up to the waiting pantients at the Dental Clinic.
Agoosd piece that gives food for thought

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...
