Waiting for our bones...!

-

India is virtually hit by a tsunami called "people-emotion".Their total outburst against the
unstoppable avalanche of political & governmental corruption makes absolute sense. The huge sea of humanity pitching in with Anna Hazare for his war against this corruption is 'verylogical' and not 'illogical'.

Our wafer thin trust on the political system of our democracy has surely reached a point of breaking. Our politicians and our economists generally remain concerned about the upheavals & unrest in Libya,Egypt & other nations.They never fail to show their concern about the economic meltdown in America & Europe. However when it comes to our domestic economy and the magnitude of corruption at home, they instantly get into the game of using statistics and playing monkey and making us ride a crocodile to nowhere.

Today the politicians and political parties have made our parliament a den for conspirators, for arm twisting & tongue whipping for their individual selfish & self gains. The parliament is no more the institution that it was meant to be under the Constitution. The ruling party & the party in the opposition are both the masterminds and master keys responsible for driving the nation without steering the wheels.

Today Anna Hazare has defiantly become our mentor to free us from clinging to the clutches of politicians & political parties. However when we find our legs to walk again, there may be no road signs to tell us which way to go. The fear looms large confronting the same politicians waging their tails, hanging their tongues.....waiting for our bones... !

    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.

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...

   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...
