 As usual this year  again the  26th January Ceremonial Parade at Rajpat  kept  my  spirit, pride and confidence on the top gear.Today again for me the "Drumers Call' and Abide with Me" remained  the most vibrating military music.at the "Beating the Retreat"  ceremony on  the historic Vijay Chowk. My optimism peaked up when I heard the enchanting 'jugalbandi' of Tabla and Shenai  resounding the Raisana Hills for the first time. With  the splendor of lighting the Majestic Raisana Hills, yet  another Republic Day Celebrations came to a close Military cermonials surely let's us forget the dismal background of our Republic.Such ceremonial parades indeed re-enforces our faith on the Might of our Military forces. The political buffoonery is becoming viral.At times it does make us feel that we are simply moments away from becoming another Banana republic...

If we were not scared of secularism, perhaps we would be talking our mind out about faith, religion and rituals. In spite of being labeled a secular nation we continue to crush our freedom when expressing our views about a religion or a faith. If democracy is all about people's right and liberty, then why some religions stifle the masses and practice fanaticism with obsessive enthusiasm. I am not at anytime for or against any religion. I respect  religious sentiments. If I have the right to take pride of my religion , so has everybody. But that however will never mean that we should   practice intolerance towards  people or sect who dare to put their point of view on the subject. I may have reasons  to love to hate people who may express views about my religion and my faith  that  may remain at tangent to my belief and my faith. However that doesn't give me t...

With 7 states going to the polls, the political parties are sure to remain in shiver & sweat. The nation will witness plenty of mudslinging in the mainstream politics. The year has everything set to shoot up the level of our political frustrations. Let us try to stir the political Frying Pans in the kitchens of major political parties and find what their MasterChefs are frying & prying. This may not get us anywhere but at least help us to smell the aroma of what is cooking for the unwary voters out there. Let us take a peek... UPA : Looking visibly quizzed in managing the tantrums of their Nano Didi who is bent on fielding her own handpicked candidates in Goa & Manipur in the forthcoming assembly polls. We hold no rights to doubt her height to leap into a territory that is beyond the Hooghly banks. On the other hand their Prince Charming Rahul Gandhi may be walking around his confidence to redeem his padyatra miles and Dalit dinners. But will he be able to take the char...

The New Year revelry that we saw in the city shows that sticky minds and filthy looks still remains a sign of chivalry among our youth. The police wielding the sticks was a well deserving action. Our police force may be harrasing but they surely remain politically the most harrased force in the country. They truly at times deserve our hearty compliments for sticking to their guns. On the other side our political forces continue to use us as the game to checkmate their political opponents . In year 2011 our politicians have also made us realize that all national movements linked to people are sheer tributaries that will eventually flow into the mainstream called politics. That proves Lok Pal was never a people's dream. It was and it will therefore continue to remain a political issue. Thanks to our politicians, the NGO's and the Civil society, for ensuring that this country never runs out of issues. This month five out of the twenty nine states of our Republic will...
