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 !

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...

MY MODISTORY

  I am one among 900  million plus    "nuts and bolts" of our  Democracy , who   become "faceless" faces in the crowd after  every 5 years.  Year 2014 election was in every sense historic It was beyond doubt a landslide victory for BJP and the beginning of  the so called "MODI" Raj  In year 2014 my reason and my josh for  casting my vote for  BJP was "Modi". His speeches were "sparkling confidence" that set ablaze the confidence of  the nation that was trying to rise up from the cesspool of corruption   Looking back now after 11 years I realise that year 2014 was also  the beginning of era called   "Political Branding" that would  covert  a "politician" into a larger than life  "Mega Leader" Perhaps that is the reason that today in politics "anti-incumbency" does not matter at all . Here are  in brief  a Common man's  bunch of thoughts on "Modi Story". These ...

    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...
