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

AFRICAN SAFARI.....a Book Review

-
Image
  "African Safari" is an intriguing title for a book that nowhere talks of  any expeditions to animal kingdom in the jungles of Africa. This book is about a cigar smoking business tycoon , a multibillion and multinational conglomerate whose business interest goes beyond his inherited empire of liquor and beer industries and spreads across industries  as diverse  as Airlines, Pharma, Paints, textiles to name a few. The media across the globe dub him as "King of good times".  "African Safari " is the story of "Rana Kapoor" the business tycoon and his business ventures in the French speaking regions of Africa, a continent that is fast emerging as world's big time growth market. The book takes us through  intricacies of clinching  business deals.  It talks about how political lobbying and networking with people in high places and bankers collaborate and become a blue print for M&A  stories. The book tells you that stories of business ventures

Giving words to my thoughts...

I  am returning to this space after 2 years and past 242 posts .It doesn't mean that I have lost my itch  for writing. I have always loved  scribbling words that give voice to the way I look at a situation, or to the way I feel about anything on the ground and under the sky. . My   view  may or may not matter  to the rest. However for me it remains a  mark of my own creativity. My creativity is more about visualizing things that  seldom see the light of the day.   Some call this  “Daydreaming” . I don't mind if people call me  a “wandering mind.” Neither I am bothered about the stigma called  “laziness” attached to it.  I see it as a tonic that energizes me  to think  beyond the realm of possibility For instance no matter how much  ever  I would have   chased my dreams  of becoming a corporate tycoon  I would never have been one simply because I would then lose the privilege and intimacy of being around with familiar and friendly faces sipping beer in crowded bar. I don't l

This Bihar election is the first major election since the Covid 19 pandamic disrupted the political calender and prompted sweeping measures for social distencing. The three Phase Bihar Poll for 243 Vidhan Sabha seats was completed on the 7th. The turnout for the poll as per media report was 58%. Today is the vote counting day. By the time the sun sets today , the dawn  of the next political regime in the State will emerge. Will this dawn usher in a new political 'don' or  the "Sarkar Raj" will continue  with  their  "All is Well " narrative for another 4 years. Will PM Modi, the over used "trump card" political campainer for NDA  be able  to push  back JDU- BJP led alliance once again into rulling Bihar for another four year terms or will he   concede defeat without playing and  crying foul.  Well whatever be the outcome of today's polling verdict, the politics of vendetta and vilifying the  poor will continue. The problem of unemployment, the
