Start believing in political fairy tales..

-

I know I will not be at my honesty best if I say our Prime Minister is an honest person. I will also be grossly committing a judgmental error if I say that in politics honesty is the best policy. Well does this make our current Prime Minister the right man for the job..? The answer is no. I don't think we should feel guilty about it since we never elected him in the first place. Now here are some basic expectations that the country and her people expects the Prime Minister to deliver. For instance :

a)The Prime Minister is not expected to keep blinking when confronting national issues instead he should be able to demonstrate his ability to take independent decisions when needed.

b)If the Prime Minister has magnanimity in accepting the responsibility for the misdeeds of his cabinet members, he should also have the manliness to reprimand and take them to task.

c)The Prime Minister is expected to lead and engage the nation for enhancing productivity and economic growth and not colliding with his team for promoting scams and protecting scam-esters

d)The Prime Minister is expected to ensure that country remains free from terror attacks and not make the country an insurance for the terrorist to succeed.

e)Lastly a Prime Minister is expected to be a Prime Minister and not a "Minister in Waiting " for "Party President".

We are a nation of 1.21 billion people and also remain the largest democracy in the world. However sadly we don't have even a single national political leadership available in the stock of politicians that we maintain, feed and send to Parliament at a cost that leaves us with just Rs.32/-per day to keep our malnutritioned body in constant labour.

If we believe by 2014 we can salvage a semblance of political leadership from this inventory of politicians, we can as well start believing in political fairy tales..

    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 .

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...
