A salute to "ModiShah Gathbandhan"



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 breach of Constitutional power of the Govt neither I think it will  violate any international treaty viz the UN. So constitutionally speaking now the  State of J&K will come on the  same page with the rest of the Nation. Of course now Kashmir and Jammu together becomes an UT like Delhi and Ladakh a UT like  Daman and Diu. At last now every Indian citizen  will have the right to move around and settle in any part of the Indian territory and that now includes  Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh

By the way with 15th of August just a week ahead will it be too much of a wishful thinking to say that PM Modi may address the Nation this Independence Day from "Lal Chowk" and  not "Red Fort"
But then you never can predict a "ModiShah GhatBandhan" !

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...
