Yeh.".....". Dilli Maange NoMore....


This Sunday 1.32 crore  voters will go to the polling booths, press their choice of button just once and 'only once' to decide the fate of 272 candidates in the eight districts governed by MCD. which incidentally covers  96 % of Delhi's geographical area. Delhi is spread over 1485 sq Km and has five Municipal corporations namely New Delhi Municipality  Committee(NDMC), Delhi Cantonment Board North Delhi Municipality(NDM), South Delhi Municipality(SDM) and East Delhi Municipality(EDM). The first two Municipality comes under Central govt and hence not a part of this Sunday election. The number of  wards under NDM and SDM are 104 each  while the number of ward under EDM is 64 .  Thus put together there are 272 wards.

 The  total number of candidates on the fray for this 272 wards are 2315, out of which 637 candidates are crorepatis  and 163 candidates have criminal cases against them. There are 18 political parties on the field  the prominent among them being   BJP,  AAM ADMI and CONGRESS. There are also over 1000 independent candidates, who  are majorly the victims  of their Party's ticket distribution. The elected candidates will become the Councillors for their respective wards for the next 5 years

The major responsibilities of these Municipality corporations are :-
a)Managing Water Supply b)Maintaining Drainage and Sanitation, c)Up-keeping and maintaining markets & controlling hawkers  d) Ensuring the street lightnings and maintaining all roads that are less than 60 ft, e) Running Primary Schools,Hospitals and Dispensaries, f)Collecting Property tax Professional tax &Toll tax, g) Maintaining Parks, Parking and Parking lots, h) Run cremation grounds and maintain Birth and Death records. These Municipality committees  have been for the  last 25 years dominated by Congress and  BJP  and for the last 10 years they are under  BJP

Today these Municipality Committees are among the most corrupt and most mismanaged Civic bodies in the world. Th City has practically become  an open Garbage yard and an open Drainage. entity The air here today remain stinking and obnoxious. The River Yammuna has been turned into a pathetic gutter . Almost 90% of City colonies neither have proper street lights nor adequate water Supply. In spite of Swatch Bharat  Abhyan there is a serious shortage of public toilets. The existing toilets remain smelly and door less. In short the  MCD Councillors have spared no effort to turn Delhi into a stinking Garbage city and a breeding ground for frequent  Dengu and Chikungunya outbreaks  I am sure all the past and present Councillors of MCD are far far more than  simple crorepatis.

Delhi Voters have twice made the wrong choice of  electing AAM ADMI  and  I don't mind doing it for the third time.  This time perhaps to make sure that our CM Kejriwal is left with no ground to complain. Incidentally looking at what Delhi has achieved by keeping BJP in power for the past 10 years  I will not feel guilty of not voting them this time.

Saying Yeh"KAMAL"Dilli Maange NoMore. is not going to lessen my admiration, my respect and my faith on the dynamic leadership of our PRIME MINISTER
So what say....?

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...
