Reading between the Political line.....


The Karnataka electioneering  campaign was one of the worst seen  in recent times . Our political parties continue to keep  weaving  political issue out of cast and religion  In the recent political campaigning in  Karnataka it was   ligayate, hindutva and Dalit issues that kept the political vocal cords most aggressive unmindful of the disgusting level it touched.

 It is a common sense  that for our National Media , standing independent is never a sutainable business model . So they by default remain a sold out political venture. Paid media is what is generally they are know as . The poll result for Karnataka will be out on 15th so  let us not go by the media debate that promises to keep our national viewers shifting their political opinions.

We all know that a BJP win in Karnataka will help this political party to open their account in Tamil Nadu and Kerala  In case Modi and his  BJP  is  able to build an inroad into Southern states they will become the most political superpower in the country.They will thus eventually  monopolize  the upper house of our parliament ( Rajya Sabha) I mean. This will give them clout enough to pass any bills they like and they may even go to the extent of amending our Constitution to read India as a Hindutava State. In spite of being  a Hindu I and many others  like me may not like to feel proud of it because we still respect the fabric of secularism  For us every religion including Hinduava is equally sacrosanct.

Bangalore is the capital of Karnataka and incidentally it is also the intellectual capital of India. The civic body and infrastructure in Bangalore continues to be in a mess yet it is hoped to emerge as the Silicon valley of this planet in a decade or two. The Bangalorians  therefore are able to fend for themselves in spite of political apathy and corruption.  So I don't think people of Karnataka will go in for a political change but then you never know.  Well will it be for them  a better  option  to retain a known political crook than endure  an unknown political crook for the next 5 years? 

In politics you never know what hits you when you turn your neck . Of course we will have to wait till  Wednesday to  know how stiff necked are  Karnataka voters ?  Till then hail Hitler!

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...
