He undoubtedly is  a veteran congress leader and a staunch  Indira Gandhi loyalist.He is the most seasoned  national politician.He is also  the best troubleshooter for Congress and U PA  He can be singularly credited for bailing out the UPA government from many embarrassment. He undoubtedly stands a lone gentleman in the parliament of rogues and ruffians. Sadly however he has never been able to  emerge  as a magnetic mass leader. He is Mr Pranab Mukherjee. This man, moments away from now  for sure will be  declared elected as the 13th  President of Republic of India In today's putrid political mess, will Pranab Da emerge as the Man who will  re-define Presidential responsibilities  and make Rashtrapati Bhavan less ceremonial and more authoritative....is something which time alone can answer.? However if such transformation happens, it will be a breather relief for democracy and the people and perhaps add a well needed  learning  for the  Congress and the UPA to realize that

"CORRUPTION" remained a passing point of reference in the beginning of a free India. With passage of time it went on to become a handy subject to cut ice and keep conversations rolling. Then as years rolled by it started becoming a matter of discussion for everybody from Rickshaw puller to cyclists, from auto drivers to Taxi Drivers, from Maid servants to Memsahibs and from Baboos to the Bosses. Then came the millennium and with it came along mighty SCAMS. Very soon Madu Koda, Adarsh Society , Raju's Satyam, Kalmadi, Raja& Radia spectrum all became household names. The country started seething with suppressed anger.... Come year 2011 and enter "Anna Hazare" who went on to become the face of the people. His War cry against Corruption became mightier than the sound of Bofors Anti tank guns. As a true Gandhian he promised to train not trigger the guns on evil called corruption.... Overnight "Mai bhi ANNA", "Tu bhi ANNA" becam

Neither any politician nor any political party can survive and thrive without the convenience of corruption. Therefore corruption will always remain an integral part of all political system. If this was not so, the Jan Lok Pal would have been instituted way back 40 years, when it was first mooted. The fight & squabble over Jan Lok Pal bill that we are witnessing today is a political gimmickry. It is helping to keep the masses and the political parties engage in warring for wearing out time ,energy & attention from crucial economical and political upheavals that remains eroded for want of parliamentary focus and debate. My intent is neither to discredit Anna Hazare nor direspect his war for JAN LOK PAL. My intent is to opine my views on this. To my mind it looks that if and when the JAN LOK PAL will take shape it will become a maze of complicated govt manual with clauses, annexures that can support interpretations which can help the clever heads & seeking

They don't need a handle bar moustache to prove their arrogance. They neither need ten heads to reveal their lust for power and fame. All the 365 days they remain hungry for more money,more power and very more arrogance.They come in all sizes and shape,some are savvy, some are outright rustic,some pretend simplicity . However each of them continue to be a rouge of a being ,pretending concern for the welfare of the gullible people who keep voting them to power. Like "Ravana" some of them are scholars too, having read in Oxford & Harvard. It's been now sixty four years since we are trying to slay "Ravana" and we will continue to do that for centuries to come. Does this mean he is invincible ? No not at all... You see we have just one "Dussehra" in a year and on date we have about 522 young & old Ravanas' moving around with folded hands hailing the devil's Democracy. So my dear Common Man have heart and pray that we will be able

Secularism is a menace used to create a divide within our democracy. It has become a battelfield for political manipulation and for injecting communalism into the community that left to itself has always remained in harmony. Again using label of minority & majority is a sheer political strategy for garnering vote and engineering discord and disharmony among the people. The upheavals of communal riots and the carnage it lives behind are the toll tax that the common man pays for up keeping the political systems of our democracy that thrive on a divide & rule policy. The plight, anguish and misery of riot victims and their family members are kept alive for decades in the form of judicial inquires. These inquires seldom probe the truth, yet pretend to give hope for punishing the real perpetrators of the carnage. Be it 1984 anti- Sikh riots in Delhi, be it Godhra train burning or be it Gujrat riots of 2002, no truth has ever emerged inspite of long drawn judiciary process and

India is virtually hit by a tsunami called "people-emotion".Their total outburst against the unstoppable avalanche of political & governmental corruption makes absolute sense. The huge sea of humanity pitching in with Anna Hazare for his war against this corruption is ' verylogical ' and not 'illogical '. Our wafer thin trust on the political system of our democracy has surely reached a point of breaking. Our politicians and our economists generally remain concerned about the upheavals & unrest in Libya,Egypt & other nations.They never fail to show their concern about the economic meltdown in America & Europe. However when it comes to our domestic economy and the magnitude of corruption at home, they instantly get into the game of using statistics and playing monkey and making us ride a crocodile to nowhere. Today the politicians and political parties have made our parliament a den for conspirators, for arm twisting & tongue

'Belly' is an important part of our anatomy. It can give us energy to fight for what is right. It can also starve us to death. It can also remain a power house of our greed. Having said this, I do have to say however that it seldom energies the aam aadmi enough to fight for what is right. Also an aam aadmi's 'belly' becoming his powerhouse of greed is an absolute myth. For an aam aadmi, more than often his belly becomes the cause of his death due to starvation...... The following immortal lines from the verse of one of the most significant poet of modern Hindi poet late "Suryakant Tirpathi Nirala" very aptly describes the fate of aam aadmi's belly...... . "पेट पीठ दोनों मिलकर हैं एक , चल रहा लकुटिया टेक , मुट्ठी भर दाने को-- भूख मिटाने को मुँह फटी पुरानी झोली का फैलाता-- दो टूक कलेजे के करता पछताता पथ पर आता। भूख से सूख ओठ जब जाते दाता-भाग्य विधाता से क्या पाते ?-- घूँट आँसुओं के पीकर रह जाते। चाट रहे जूठी पत्तल वे सभी सड़क पर खड़े हुए , औ

When the team is on sticky wickets and the players are batting on a bouncy pitch, holding on to the wickets and pitching for time becomes crucial. Not going for runs doesn't matter. If your team's performance score card is a story of miss fielding, loose deliveries, it is time for the captain to step in to play the captain's innings. Blaming the 2G scam as evils of collision politics,the PM attempted to cover drive his responsibility. As a consequence the entire winter session of the parliament became a colossal waste of tax payers money. However the eventual setting up of JPC was simply an act of demonstrating his back foot drive to save the govt getting flicked up at slips This has averted the Budget session from being a match abandoned. We are yet to know if the on-going budget session will end up being technically a match drawn or face saved. However for sure we now know that the captain is now on the striking end Of late and at last our judiciary seems

It is but obvious that no opposition party will come to compliment the government in power for a job well done. What holds for NDA today will remain true for UPA if the roles get reversed tomorrow. The role of the opposition party in this country is simply to counter the move without reading the merits. The only time when in the history of Indian Parliament the entire 524 members were unanimous was when, it came to supporting the bill for raising the emoluments of MPs threefold. It is therefore normal and expected to find the opposition bench criticizing the union budget for 2011-2012. Aam Aadmi does not know what is deficit financing and how it will hit his means. He is happy that the IT exemption limit has been raised to 1.80 lac from existing 1.60 lac. He is excited to realize that he can at least now visualize an approximative saving of Rs 9500 PA. He is happy that custom duty and excise duty has not been touched. He is optimistic that now he can utilize his 'v

Dear ‘Neta Bhai'...You may not know me, but I know you very well. I still remember your visiting my door steps some 5 years ago... and greeting me with folded “Hands” and big 'teethy' smile... I know how excited I was when I heard your election speeches...that promised "Roti,Kapadda aur Makkan". I became an active member of your electioneering campaign.Through out the campaign..I found myself running behind your "Rath Yatras …shouting slogan like “Hamare 'NETA' Jindabad”,"Hamare "Neta"..Sab Ke Datta.. etc etc. How can I forget your election victory celebration....since it was an exclusive 'partying'...I remained a 'left out'. I heard it was very very 'lavish' & boisterous. Then there was a 'Janta Dharshan' organized by your Party. I was there moving through the long “Q” with folded hands for your 'Dharshan'.You were sitting there on that 'king' size throne…specially made for the occasi
