Steering on top gear...stay tuned !


Its truly more than whiff of fresh air for me, when I set my mind to write home something that is not about decaying politics, cluttering scams, vacillating Hazare movements and the crazy cricketing of course..

Speed,velocity and acceleration that may be just physics for us but they are a whole lot of very life and more for Micheal Schumacher and for the growing dare devil tribes of F1. This is also known as Formula 1,which is the highest class of world's single seater auto racing. It consists of series of races known as Grand Prix. The Geography that this series of race cover are spread across from Monaco the play ground of world's rich & famous to oil rich Abu Dabi & Bahrain to Shanghai the world's newest economic strong hold.

The 2011 series of races for World championship kick started about last week of March This seasons race have so far covered over 16 locations which includes among others Kuala Lumpur,Shanghai,Monaco,Istanbul & Budapest. India is now the brand new destination added to this seasons races. From 28 to 30 this month The AIRTEL GRAND PRIX OF INDIA will roar into action. Its still time for all of us to get on the edge of our seat, so let me drive around and come back with everything we all would like to know about F1 racing , their equipments , logistics & lot more.

In conversation with Bapu....

With 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' and 'Abide with Me'the Soul-stirring martial tunes and solemn drum beats at the majestic Raisina Hills the "Beating the Retreat" ceremony marked the conclusion of the week long ceremonial functions of India celebrating her 62nd year of Republic.As the illumination lit up the edifices of Imperial India..my thought reached out to that day into the history of independence that finally dropped the curtain on a life called "Gandhi"...the man whose experiment with truth may not have jelled with today but his name has truly become the brand that remain most misused & manipulated both in trade & politics.As I key-in these lines I can read out the conversation that would have transpired between the "soul of Nation" (SON) and "Mahatma Gandhi"(Bapu)....Read on what I read..... SON: Bapu it's me,are you sleeping....? BAPU: How can you ask that...don't you know this day in the year 1948..I was gu...

But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country. Yes it is time for General Election. In the coming months for the 15th Lok Sabha, 714 million eligible voters would be 'bee lining' to the ballot boxes across 29 states,6 union territories to elect 543 members . 'Jaago-...

My expiriment with "TRUTH"..

It was today but the year was 1981 and the day was probably a Saturday. I was there on the ceremonial stretch of "Raj path".There were about 4 lac people like me "all excited", getting ready for the "action shot" for Richard Atendbrough's film "GANDHI". The scene was Gandhiji's "funeral procession".I was wearing white khadi "Pajama & Kurta" which I bought from Khadi gram udyog at 'Regal building the previous evening. This was the recommended "dress code" for the shoot. Probably I never thought then that I was about to be part of a "live action crowd" of this magnitude that will never again be filmed. Soon the heavy camera's parked on the cranes started rolling. I lost the count of how many times those giant like cameras zoomed in and zoomed out of me. I was simply emotionally charged walking the stretch shouting "Vande Matram","Mahatma Gandhi" "AmarRahe"...
