Anna beating 'Nokia'..in..?.


"CORRUPTION" remained a passing point of reference in the beginning of a free India. With passage of time it went on to become a handy subject to cut ice and keep conversations rolling. Then as years rolled by it started becoming a matter of discussion for everybody from Rickshaw puller to cyclists, from auto drivers to Taxi Drivers, from Maid servants to Memsahibs and from Baboos to the Bosses. Then came the millennium and with it came along mighty SCAMS. Very soon Madu Koda, Adarsh Society , Raju's Satyam, Kalmadi, Raja& Radia spectrum all became household names. The country started seething with suppressed anger....

Come year 2011 and enter "Anna Hazare" who went on to become the face of the people. His War cry against Corruption became mightier than the sound of Bofors Anti tank guns. As a true Gandhian he promised to train not trigger the guns on evil called corruption....

Overnight "Mai bhi ANNA", "Tu bhi ANNA" became the resounding voice of the nation. It surpassed both in emotion and size Gandhi's famous Dandi March. Dandi march was to protest against tax on "SALT. Anna's call is a teaser campaign against Corruption that is taxing the nation.

Passing months witnessed various Anna twist & turns & other political kabadis. It also saw Anna's stubbornness keeping the political party in power breathless and sending the opposition political parties running helter skelter . It almost grind to a halt the progress & growth of the Economy. However like Mahabharata's Arjuna, Anna Hazare continued his focus on the eye of the fish..called Corruption. ..

Right now it will be tough to say if LOK PAL will be able to flush out the fishes from India's ocean of corruption but even if it does I am sure Whales, Dolphins and Sharks will continue their merry making, leaving away only those 'schooling fishes' for the LOK PAL. fishing nets..!

Incidentally yesterday the crowd strength that usually throng at Anna's call was missing both at Ramlila grounds Delhi and MMRDA grounds in Mumbai. Now for some odd reasons I find this Hindi film DEWAR's dialogue... re surfacing... insted of Amitab & Shashi Kapoor it is the Politician & the Aam Admi...here take a read...

Politician: Aaj mere pass building hain, property hain,Swiss bankA/c hain ,Bungla hain aur power hain...tumhare paas.. kya hai..?
Aam Admi:. Hamare paas shayad ....aaaaa....Anna..hain..?

You have "NO ' IDEA" in the coming budget session you may see your MP's walking into the Lok Sabha playing this collar tune on their mobile..
"नफरत करने वालों के सीने में प्यार भर दूं अरे मै वोह CORRUPTION हूँ , पत्थर को मोम कर दूं". Now it is none of my business to ask you to "GET IDEA"...because ..that's Abhi's bread, butter & shoot......

Anyways for YOU, ME & US it is enough to know that year 2011 is going to see ....
ANNA HAZARE beating 'Nokia'........in connecting people !

CLARITY IN CHAOS

  The Bhagavad Gita is a living scripture  universally relevant  today as it was 5000 years ago in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. It is a divine conversation that took place in the battlefield of Kurukshetra  between two best  friends, Lord Krishna the Charioteer and Arjuna the warrior.  'Bhagavad Gita' is an integral part of of Indian mythology  I have always believed mythology is not for everyone including me.  So when my friend, the author of the book  "Understanding Bhagavad Gita", gave me a  copy to review , I was not very comfortable.  I like  'Arjuna'  started looking for excuses . However one day not very soon , "The Recipe For A Better Life " the part of the title  hooked me into reading it The author has covered the essence of 'Gita' inside the  160 pages, through   eighteen Chapters.  Every chapter has an "Introduction", a "Summary" and a "Reflection" The simplicity of his writing gives...

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...
