DE LHI Gasping!!

-




Delhiites have turned   indifferent to the " Toxic Air" that they breath  They have stopped bothering about the "smoke screen " that is keeping away   "Sun light"  from giving them the ray of "HOPE"  to keep their lungs "Sun Shined" . Like "AGE"  for them now  even the  AQI (Air Quality Index) has become a sheer number .They have long since stopped reacting to the AQI  shooting up. They have lost their "JOSH"" to protest for their fundamental right to breath.

Delhi is the very seat of the duly elected "POWER".  of  World's largest Democracy  The "custodian" of this Democracy reside here  at   "7 LOK KALYAN"  but remain hardly visible in and around the city This  "custodian"  continues to remain the very "Most"  'Frequent Flier' of our Democracy and  the only  'STAR '  campaigner for the political party that he comes from.    Getting re-elected seems to be  the only goal he pursues 

Delhi also has  a   "KARTAVYA PATH" but one can hardly find  any footprints of कर्तव्य पालन here  This path   continue to remain the most walked "Raj Path" for the members of the elected cabinet .who are happy  driving their party goals and  pursuing their  individual  'self serving missions'    Sadly our bureaucracy   remain more engrossed in serving their Masters than servicing the needs and the necessities of the people 

Keeping DELHI free from toxic air and pollution free is not a rocket science. Remember Beijing the  capital of China  was once the most polluted cities of the world in terms of   "Air Quality" It now stands drastically improved  This was achieved through 'strict regulations' .'large investments' and 'focussed campaigning; to combat pollution This city has now emerged as one of the most "pollution free" cities in the world 

The Air crisis and toxic smog that  keeps Delhi under distress year after year will  continue with vengeance with every coming years for sure. However the day the residents of this city  collectively feel they can't take it anymore they will be left with two options (1) "collapse on the wayside" or  (2)"stand  up" together to make sure these politicians and bureaucrats deliver with no ifs and buts  .In case they  don't , just  dump them into  the nearest of the  3 landfills of city

Don't you feel , it's ridiculous to see the "33" 'Millions of  us'  gasping  for our fundamental right to breath!!!

    I was the youngest of the 4 siblings and the only son ,but that  never  made me precious and  pampered by the family. My father was in the army.

   When you already  know a little about the  book it does create an  interest “Blessed Curse” was just that.  This book is about an  Indian middle class household  that is holding together three generations in generous harmony with all those ifs and buts about the generation gaps  The book undoubtedly is  an inspirational read  especially at a  time when the concept of   “nuclear households", remains a widely spread idea among the Millennials  It recalibrates your mind to question , debate ,accept and  celebrate every generation’s point of view  This book is the story of Jagdamba Prasad & his wife Pushpa Devi living with their son, daughter in law and grandchildren in one of the colonies of East Delhi’. The author in this book takes the reader through good, bad and ugly about each generation. The beauty is, it does not come as a bout of episodes but as “cosy chats” between the members of the family...
