Khatron Ke Khiladi

Somewhere 'inside' me I also once'wished' to be the part of the reality show called "Khatron Ke Khiladi". However like all my other 'wishes' this also became a "dream not come true". You see to participate in all these 'reality' shows you need to be a celebrity'and also able to 'brag' about it. No doubt I am a celebrity, but the problem is I have nothing at all to 'brag' about it. I also happen to be a 'Khatron Ka Khiladi'. However I don't get an'Akshy Kumar'to boost my morale. Neither there is a 'crew' around me shouting "lights,camera, action". Anyway I never want to be a part of any "shoot", still at 'times stray bullets do attempt to 'whizz past' my "skull". By the way my name is "Aaam Aadmi" and am the "darling" of the "politicians" when it is raining "elections'. Now coming back let me show why I said ...

Light up mind..!

We are taught right from our childhood the the significance of our festivals.We know 'Dussehra' celebration signifies victory of good over evil. We understand in 'Diwali' lighting a lamp symbolizes the destruction of all negative forces- wickedness, violence, lust, anger, envy, greed,fear,injustice, oppression and suffering etc. From ages we have been celebrating these festivals,yet we have not learnt to emulate them in the life that we live. Evils continue to rule us in the form of terrorism,civil war and communal disturbances.We still continue to be bred by negative energy.What else should we call the oppression of poor by rich,what else should we term the animal instinct of greed,lust and crime that is consuming our passion and energy.We can't live in state of isolation and keep blaming the society for all the wrongs that's happening.We need to look at our own self and try to trace those bits of negative energy that remains pulsating within us.Let us believe...

OBAMA for Peace-Noble& Prize

Congratulations..Mr.President for bagging the most coveted Noble prize for "Peace". You deserve it if it is for delivering the people of America from an evil called Mr.Bush.However you cannot be nominated for this 'prize'just because you hope and wish to change the world order as it is seen today.Noble prize as I understand is for achievements and not for 'beliefs'and 'Hope'. You need time,effort,focus and a missionary zeal to bring about a transformation in this world of today which stands torn between war,hatred and violence. Mr.President we do see Iraq still simmering,we still find American soldiers being air dropped into Afghanistan. Violence still continues to consume human lives in Israel and Palestine. Last but not the least we still find Terrorism continuing unabated to be most funded universal cause. Anyways Mr.Obama you advocated change and so you have bagged the Noble prize. Is this Change a HOPE or an achievement who cares..!

"Gandhi" a name to reckon !

Had it been names like 'John','Johnny','Janardhan',I would have casually said what's in a name! and left it there for the "naseeb"to take on. However you can't remain so casual about a name called "GANDHI". Today this name has proved to be much more than Domino's power pizza because the "aam aadmi" is loving it. Honestly be it Mac or Donald....this is no branding campaign. This name "Gandhi" today dominates the political power of the largest democracy in the world.This name doesn't need muscle power to inspire "aam aadmi". 'Symbolic' gestures of "austerity" drives and "cattle-travel" are enough to keep this "Gandhi family".roaring with power. Democracy at the end of it all remains for them simply a "family affair". Far away from this 'Gandhi' of today..there once stood a "Gandhi" who dared the mighty British Empire with his 'sim...

saddi "Navi Dili" aho ji..!

That was a time when one could have never imagined 'St Stephens college' becoming a co-ed college,nor 'LSR' opening its gates for boys. Who could have thought 'Khalasa college' getting shifted to be near 'Miranda House' and 'Venketeswara college' becoming one of the elite colleges of DU.I never thought 'Dhaula Kuan' &'Safdurjung' roundabouts and 'Moolchand crossing' would one day get transformed to be one of the most stylish free ways of the country. Who ever knew then that one could commute from'Shahdara' to'Kashmiri Gate'in'30'minutes flat in the AC comfort of'DelhiMetro' Well Delhi has come a long way from being looked up as one 'big village' and a Babus own city to become a 'hip hop and happening' Mega city. 'Saddi Dili' is today on the 'fast track' of transforming into a world class city that may even beat ' 'San Francisco'and 'London...

"Hindustan Bol Raha Hai"!

Aam admi today continues to remain so frustrated and pissed up with a "Hindustan" jo dik raha hai"!..that he hardly finds any truth in "Hindustan jo Bol Raha Hai"!.This has absolutely nothing to do with a TV ad with almost a similar title where we see the youth icon 'Deepika Padukone' dancing from one shot to the other on a vigorous brand building exercise for BSNL. Coming back to Aam admi and his frustrations,let me buzz over his latest irk..in Delhi,the 'epicentre' of power and the venue of the upcoming "commonwealth Games". Caving roads & buildings,collapsing flyovers,cracking & gaping 'BRT' corridors, over flowing drains,flooding underpasses,derailing "Metros" are some few 'issues' in the parcel of civic "issues" that the Aam admi is enduring as he travels around the city everyday straining his limbs and patience through chaotic traffic jams and blinking traffic lights. However on the ot...

"Kapil Sibal" aur "10 ka dum"....!

Had I said 'Salu's 10 ka dum'..it would have an instant connect. Anyway I am in no mood to strain my 'gray cells' over the reality shows. Let me instead carry on with Mr.Kapil Sibal's rejuvenation program on "Children,Education,Board". Does this title sound as weird a title....as "Jinnah,India Partition"...? Never mind.!...let me for the moment figure out "10" and tension...! We all know that a normal child and the majority of them generally get into a serious study pattern only when there is a 'Board Exam' on the head. Now by doing away with 'Board Exam' for 10th class children,it will be a "moja hi moja" time for the 10th class children for 2 years at a stretch. Practically speaking Mr.Kail Sibal and his team are happy in achieving a scheme of things that does't ease pressure but postpone it to re-surface with vengeance after a lull of 2 years. With no Board exam in the 10th, the children generally w...
