At last the Govt of the Day dared to call off the political bluff of the CONGRESS that kept the State of Jammu and Kashmir perennially  under fear of militancy for past 70 years. Yes, PM Modi and his Govt today scrapped Article 370 and  Article 35A through passing a legislation on the floor of the Parliament. This also scrapes the stand alone Constitution for "Kashmir"   Beginning today the Constitution of India will be equally applicable to all States and Union territories from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.  India thus becomes today a  country of one "Nation" one "Constitution" and that too both in letter and spirit. Kashmir is a State that remained fuming under the tunnel of insurgency and now  gets the opportunity to walk up to the end of the tunnel  and spot  the light of hope. A hope perhaps  moving forward will make all the difference to the people and the State. Scrapping Article 370 and Article 35A is I feel will  not amount to any breac

The Congress and the UPA remain defiantly guilty of betraying people's trust and that probably led to their going off the political  power way back in 2014.. It would be interesting to note  that RTI Bill was passed in the  Parliament during the UPA regime and it was under them that "The Right to Information" Act 2005 became a law  . Ironically one of the major reasons for the Congress led UPA fall in 2014 was RTI . Major scams that came to light through RTI then  were  Adarsh Housing Scam, 2 G Spectrum Scam and Commonwealth Irregularities to name the few.  BJP/Modi led NDA  made maximum use of these Scams to strategize their massive win that year They then  almost  sealed the political fate of the "Congress". The Modi led BJP/NDA has now comeback for a second term on the strength of a massive mandate. We have been witnessing time and again since year 2014 the law of diminishing Democracy taking root and  adversely affecting  the functioning of RTI. For ins

Reading this Novel was interesting absorbing and intriguing all at the same time. It is a pleasure writing a review for this book  This is a Novel which unfolds a story  almost effortlessly through a chain of  dream sequences on board of a late night  Delhi- London flight .This is the author's second book. If his  first book was a collection of 27 short  stories based on his encounters in day to dav  life, this book I can say is all about an Encounter of third kind. The book casually starts off in the Aircraft where  our protagonist  picks up   conversations with few fellow passengers while the aircraft is still on a start mode for a take off. The way the author has presented the ongoing  tete-a-tete and the Air hostess/Flight attendants routine rituals proves  that he has that stuff of  being a keen observer of minute details. He has captured them all beautifully The entire book is on a simple conversational mode  and you almost  begin to feel being a part of the book as y

Back in 2014 the Nation was so pissed up with Scams and Scamsters that for the first time it decided  to vote out a Party and vote in a Leader. This was  how Narendra Damodardas Modi arrived on the National  political arena. The rest is history.  Today less than 100 days away this  Nation will once again go  to polls  This time  will this Nation  elect a "PARTY", a MAHAGATHBANDHAN" or a "LEADER" is  a wait and watch scenario till about July  when hopefully the outcome of 2019 General election will be known.  It is therefore no exaggeration  when I  say that  the entire Nation today including our Media channels are busy predicting and debating Election 2019  PM Modi's  working style right from year  2014 has  led  us to believe that he intends to turn  our Democracy  into a dictatorial regime. This may be fairly true and perhaps  needed too.  We are a country of 134 crore with  a  cacophony of religious, cultural and social disharmony.Our p

I have no religion. In fact I don't know what is GOD or who is the creator. When I speak I don't make any sound of music.  I can't speak so  my pain and my agony goes unheard and unattended. I don't  understand the politics that you make of my life. I remember I was once upon  a time  the political  symbol for your oldest political party called Congress  Of late I have become synonymous to a religion you call Hindutva. I now remain  patronised by a  band of bandits that you call "saffron Brigade". You have made me  the tale of two sects , one  that loves to see me on their dinning table and the other who believes in using my name to sniff  away innocent lives .You have made me the cause of great intolerance.This is so saddening, since by nature I am the least of "intolerance". I remain both in life and death a  source of your protein. I have horns yet I don't honk and add on to your noise pollution.  I have come to realize I rather live in
