hooked to the politicians mercy....

We accepted it as part of our living. Gradually we started grumbling about it. We also then tried to cry about it in groups & forums. We then became so frustrated about it that we started making noise. However nothing changed for "we the people" We continued to remain unheard, un responded and ignored. Fretting & fuming we continued to live on...

Then in April 2011 a man walks into Delhi's Jantar Mantar and decides to roar in public. His war cry against corruption was no less than the roar of a lion. It was this sound that compelled each of us to stand up and listen. In matter of days this roar echoed through the entire nation. The man behind the roar was 73 year old who went to prove to the world that old age can never be a sign of infirmity unless one willed it to be so. This was Anna Hazzare. In him for the first time in post independence era pan India gets her true people's leader. For the first time ever 'we the people ' are face to face to see and feel what spontaneous leadership is all about.

I had always preferred to be a pessimist in the matters of driving out national level corruptions Pessimism helps to drive away your disappointments. However today like every Indian I remain optimist enough for chartering an audacity of hope of seeing a corruption free India...

Let us not stop at Jan Lok pal bill. We need to admit that each political party in this country is worse than the other. Our's is a representative Democracy where we get to choose who will run the country for next five years without giving us any control over how they run the country. This is the core reason that has given our politicians the unquestionable right to plunder & loot the wealth,welfare & well being of the nation & the people. Therefore it is now very essential that we continue to maintain the tempo and vibrancy of the Ramlila grounds without breaks & jerks.

Today we have the privilege of being the largest democracy. Let us hope one day we will also have the privilege of being the first true Democracy in the world .....where people will have the right to call back their representative for non performance without the ritual of waiting for the completion of the five year cycle. Where action against national & state level political & economical corruptions will be taken based on people's referendum and not left to parliamentarian's goon ism.. Let us look forward for that historical day when we as a nation will no longer remain hooked to the politicians mercy...

Anna should start a new party and present a multi-point agenda for at least one year to country .. and contest election 2014 .. I think that is the only solution and as I believe most of his team member's also want that way

    I was the youngest of the 4 siblings and the only son ,but that  never  made me precious and  pampered by the family. My father was in the army. We all  grew up in cantonment environment, hopping almost every 2 years  from one Cantonment to the other  Like from Allahabad’s Draupadi Ghat we came to Calcutta’s Fort William and  then to  Bangalore Cantonment  Bangalore was the only city where we  remained stationed for almost 5 years before getting  shifted to Delhi Cantonment in 1961, 4th of July to be precis It was the year 1959-60 and I was about 10 years old  studying in the 6th form in the Army’s  Regimental school . Around this time my  father decided to put me into “King George Military School” .This  was a ‘day’ Boarding School exclusively for Defence personnels . It is now called “Rashtriya Military School”. There was an aptitude test which I cleared but failed the written test. I was happy, a...

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...

The Blessed Curse "Nostalgic flashes" !

   When you already  know a little about the  book it does create an  interest “Blessed Curse” was just that.  This book is about an  Indian middle class household  that is holding together three generations in generous harmony with all those ifs and buts about the generation gaps  The book undoubtedly is  an inspirational read  especially at a  time when the concept of   “nuclear households", remains a widely spread idea among the Millennials  It recalibrates your mind to question , debate ,accept and  celebrate every generation’s point of view  This book is the story of Jagdamba Prasad & his wife Pushpa Devi living with their son, daughter in law and grandchildren in one of the colonies of East Delhi’. The author in this book takes the reader through good, bad and ugly about each generation. The beauty is, it does not come as a bout of episodes but as “cosy chats” between the members of the family...
