A Devil's own....City?






Mythology is a body of myth and teachings that revolve around Rakshasa and Assuras The effigy of Ravana,(the rakshasa) that we  burn religiously every year at the Ramlila grounds is our way keeping alive our belief that good will always triumph over evils. However the futility of our belief is that today evils have totally spread their wings and yet we keep simmering in our hope that someday the good will cut the wings of  the soaring evil...

We are  not blissfully anonymous to the rotting sate of affairs of a state that once we blissfully believed to be vibrant and hearty. We are very much annoyed about the city turning devilish. We are quite vociferousness about it, yet we pretend to remain as helpless as those little children who  remain devoured and devastated almost every day at every nook and corner of this city just for being born a  GIRL...

We also remain majorly guilty of these heinous crime of rapes in the city  because it is we who believed and voted a CM who because of her  sinus pretends to not able to smell the rotten rats in her cabinets.  It is we who thought intellectuals can be great leaders and installed a PM who remains practically  mute leading a morn Cabinet. It is we who continue in believing that our  politicians and social crusaders are men and women of substance without realizing that they are a parliament of owls who believe in goring and maiming Democracy  to keep alive their lust for power and arrogance.

We may be great fault finders  but we are not any less guilty ourselves Our greatest guilt is we walk and run around the city like Gandhi's  "3 Monkeys" ....Mouth shut Eyes shut and Ears shut...taking all the bull shits from the police, politicians and perverts. SHAME ON US... for calling our city "Dildaar Delhi".and SHAME ON US for hiding behind the candle lights and letting our city  become a Devil's  own City... !

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...

But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country. Yes it is time for General Election. In the coming months for the 15th Lok Sabha, 714 million eligible voters would be 'bee lining' to the ballot boxes across 29 states,6 union territories to elect 543 members . 'Jaago-...

My expiriment with "TRUTH"..

It was today but the year was 1981 and the day was probably a Saturday. I was there on the ceremonial stretch of "Raj path".There were about 4 lac people like me "all excited", getting ready for the "action shot" for Richard Atendbrough's film "GANDHI". The scene was Gandhiji's "funeral procession".I was wearing white khadi "Pajama & Kurta" which I bought from Khadi gram udyog at 'Regal building the previous evening. This was the recommended "dress code" for the shoot. Probably I never thought then that I was about to be part of a "live action crowd" of this magnitude that will never again be filmed. Soon the heavy camera's parked on the cranes started rolling. I lost the count of how many times those giant like cameras zoomed in and zoomed out of me. I was simply emotionally charged walking the stretch shouting "Vande Matram","Mahatma Gandhi" "AmarRahe"...
