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

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 ...
