Walk talk and live our fear

-


The UPA & NDA along with tattered group of other political bodies remain busy using Democracy and vote banking for their own individual party interest. Neither at her youth nor in her past 60s, our Democracy has ever delivered any national or regional leadership that could rise up from party and politics to fight elements that become a threat to the very integrity and security of the nation. This failure of our democracy has made terrorism a vicious monster that remains fed and pampered for money,power and lust.The perception that terrorism is an off shoot of a religion and a faith is simply a manifestation of vested political interests.

Mumbai has become a preferred target for terrorist attacks.Every one of us believed that Post 26/11, politicians and political parties, will help and work alongside regional and central govt agencies to prevent and save Mumbai from terrorist and terrorism. The last week terror attack that left 21 people killed and many orphaned is the bloody evidence of betrayal of our belief.

Post every terror attack our national TV channels will get to their Air conditioned studios few political personalities along with some highbrow-ed ex civil servants, and to this team they will add few botoxed faces from Bollywood and kick start a mambo jumbo debate on the "whys & what abouts" on terrorism. These shows are nothing more than a 'sign off' media byte of a bloody massacre that will remain archived as reference material for future use .

It is not that we cannot achieve a total annihilation of Terrorism. We have no dearth for resources be it youthful human resources or financial resources. How can funding be an issue in a country where Himalayan size of scams keep surfacing? So all that we need is political will and political unity to initiate process to launch a total war against terrorism.

We don't know how many more terror attacks we will have to endure and survive to see all the political parties in this country holding hands for a fight to finish terror and terrorism..? However the increasing frequency in terror attack has made us to learn...... to walk talk and live our fear.

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
