No need to hold your breath...



Crimes and Rapes, Corruptions and  Scams, Female feticide & Bride burning  along with Road rage and Rowdyism continues to remain a runaway success in spite of  all those awareness creating 'Jago re Jago' TV   episodes and serials. The puppetry of politics are paving way for social activists and self propelled God heads to play dirty and make business of derailing political climate in the country.  The woe list of people continue to  grow tall with prices and patience hitting a ceiling  beyond the cloud and the sky . Yet we still  hold the  audacity to  Hope for a better and not a battered tomorrow. 

 Our  king size plights and prejudice  does not lessen our courage to push on and pull on with life and destiny. We remain ambitious,yet are not made of sterner stuff as Shakespeare would put it.It is truly  sad therefore  to find  some among us cutting away their lives on the 'metro track' without giving life a chance to come  unruffled through the pits and pangs of  living. The bends and curves  in life may not be always exciting but its always worth the journey.

The Bollywood super Khan has defiantly  hit the right cord with the masses. The Sunday  opening episode of Satya Mev Jayate, did see trickling tears in viewers both  on  the sets and in front of TV screen. At times tears are worth trickling even though you may hate it.

 No doubt our political basket is heavily stuffed with rotten politicians with noodle like bones and fish like conscience However we still remain spirited to keep them voting into power.This is not for any reason of faith in their leadership. Our votes may have turned symbolic,yet we do wish to use the ballot box to preserve democracy from weathering away...

With the  way we are, the quality of politics and leadership is bound to deteriorate with time and election. The people of Bengal & UP may have  had great expectations from their leadership post Marxism & Mayaism. Today they do stand disappointed.The learning is simple. As long as you have no great expectations from democracy, you have no need to hold your breath....

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...

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 ...
