The Silly Voter's moments of Crowning Glory.!



Across the Globe Democracy remains  the most preferred form of governance.  It's philosophy
"For the people, By the people and Of the people" continues to hit the right chord with the people across the Globe.The year 2010 saw almost an universal upsurge for Democracy. The people in Bolivia, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya,Lebanon, Ivory Cost and Iran demonstrated the audacity to come on the streets to demolish authoritarianism  and fundamentalism to bring in Democracy..

India remains world's largest if not the oldest surviving democracy. We have our share of political upheavals and  communal turmoils, yet we know we will continue to remain not  influenced by Military Coups and Dictatorship that keep rattling our neighborhoods. Our Generals and Solders will always  remain ferocious and dare devils on the battlefields. Our Armed forces have time and again proved that when it comes to deeds of valor and chivalry they are never a second to none. However on the home turf our Armed forces remain happy to toe the line with political leadership. This not withstanding their occasional skirmishes with politicians over some 'birth years and  birth records.This amply proves that our Armed forces will never be a  threat to our great Democracy

In  Democracy,  it is the power of the people and the weight of their vote that empowers the politicians and their party to take over the responsibility of running and reigning the nation for a defined period of time. The political parties  in power are required to use this time frame to invest their efforts and ability to unleash economic and  social well being of the people and the nation. The political parties are expected to spearhead and script story of growth and productivity .If all this sound exalted ideals, then be it so.

We know idealism can never be the Fountainhead for ideas The working Democracy in India has always thrived on the ideas of cast, communal and regional bias. It has helped in  unleashing and endorsing unscrupulous political empowerment, that of late is seeing the economics of corruption more devastating than even the natural disasters. Politicians are becoming vampires sucking away the taxpayers blood to their  last drop. Democracy to an extent has become responsible for turning the politicians into Dracula and at times making them even more vicious than the Dracula of the Victorian era.

Election being the backbone of Democracy, empowers the people to elect their leaders every five years.It is the only time when the politicians with folded hands,and dog like wagging  come on to the people's door front, not barking and bullying but bragging and begging for VOTE.This remains the Silly voter's  moments  of  crowning  glory ! Perhaps this is also the reason for Democracy thriving in India..

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...

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 ...

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 .
