M C D Election..2017


It was Deepak Chopra who said 'when you make a choice you change the future' but I am not very sure if that proves true in the coming Delhi civic poll. This time when you press a particular labelled button on the "Electronic Voting Machine" , it will be more to keep alive Democracy than making a choice between "good,bad and ugly". Civic bodies are good notion nothing more.  MCD is a politically accepted  den for corruption and the fact that  BJP  is ruling it for a decade does not make it any better.

Since Anna Hazare started his war against corruption , all the political parties have become self acclaimed Anti-corruption institutions . However it is a living fact that CORRUPTION  today has become the very DNA of politics in the country . The quantum of corruption that can be attributed to a particular political party will always remain in direct proportion to the  power and influence  that it can garner,nationally,regionally or locally. So political parties in the country can only be classified as 'less corrupt', 'more corrupt' ,   'most corrupt',  but  never  'not corrupt'. That is how we come to  say  that the Congress is the most corrupt political party in the country followed by BJP . Incidentally these are the two political parties which have been taking turns in ruling the MCD since it was established by an act of Parliament  on 7th of April 1958 . There is no guessing  on how much of CORRUPTION  these political parties are sitting on.   Lets move on....

'AAM ADMI' is a political party that has come to become a serious political threat to both BJP and Congress and that too in the shortest span of time and that is extremely commendable . This party is the by product of the 'War Against Corruption'  a social movement that was launched by Anna Hazari at Delhi's  Jantar Mantar in 2011.  Since it was born against the wishes of Anna Hazari , sarcastically speaking it is the illegitimate  child  conceived from the ashes of 'War Against Corruption'. However as  I write this there has surfaced  plenty of corruption charges against this party , some  proved  some remain work in progress . Well  this party is definitely  in a  mad rush  to beat both Congress and the  BJP

In this MCD election there are 272 seats out there to be won .  Besides the above political parties there are couple of more  regional level parties which  will be fielding their candidates. The Municipal Corporations in India  are in general considered as hallmark for bribery . So whichever party comes into power is bound  to strike  GOLD  but  we the people will continue to remain   their  "Golden Goose"...Hail Democracy!

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-...

Just about...being a "Father"

A new world greeted them with smile and happiness when they... "Just met" and soon for them the wedding bells rang... Now, they are happily lost in their own world & together are learning to set- up a 'Home’ of their own... away from what was a home for them a little earlier in the year....That's "his" daughter & "his" son in-law. ..Being very adorable, the house has become little less chirpy after her moving out….. …."He" now does feel the boredom...but will never show it off... Because "he" is the father ...and expected to put on a stern face & always remain a 'matter of fact' person..... He is all set to explore & build-up a learning curve that may see him well in life in about a couple of years from now. After his graduation he may probably start living away from home in a distant land in pursuit of excellence...That's "His" son Being the darling of the house, "he" is...
