He is the " Count" of the Common Man. is that so..?





Probably as I write this, the BJP would be either  a touch away from gaining a simple majority for forming the Govt or  Delhi getting ready for the President's rule. Anyway that's besides the point. This election has all the right reasons to be historical not because Congress got routed nor because BJP is all set to be back after 15 years. This election has come to become historical because of Aam Admi, the party which came into being just a year back and able to vanquish the 15 years  of vanity of Congress as well  making the  BJP  almost miss the 'Bus'..

Arrivind Kejeriwal a newbee on the political turf, succeeded  in delivering the  much needed lesson to Delhi's veteran  political Parties. For this  political rookie it is a phenomenal success  to  be able  to keep the  the mighty  political veterans  breathless and  running  for their vote. Well done Aam Admi. You  have  proved   that Politics in India which is generally  a family  inheritance can also become a  reckoning   force of the common man to checkmate the reckless politicians from using politics to meet their personal agenda. Arrivind Kejeriwal has become a sort of a 'Count'  if not for revenge definitely I presume  for reforming the cause of the Common man....Now time only will tell us if that  is so..?

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"...
