How long will be long enough....

Was it media ? Was it the politicians ? Or was it lack of absolute co-ordination between various govt agencies that left Mumbai burning for over 48 hours on that fateful day of November 26, 2008. All these will remain some of the questions and small talks that will be show cased as debate over our national channel as part of 26/11 anniversary episodes. This will be made an opportunity for the elite and so called intelligencia of our society to come dressed up and brushed up to give their brand 'I' a boost in front of the camera. Perhaps few of the surveyors and family members of the victims will also be interviewed forcing them to go through an agony they want to forget. The public as usual will light up the candles at Gateway of India as a mark of respect to those unlucky departed souls. Now with the sun setting on 26/11,it will be same time one year hence to see and hear the same repeats. When do we, the people realize that terrorism is a political issue and it is a politi...

A conversation with self...

Scams, scandals, corruptions are today the utterly bitterly layers of spread over the democratic surface of this incredible India. You don't anymore need to discuss weather as a starter for a great conversation.Anyways being an ardent supporter of Green Peace movement I would love to start rolling this "conversation with self" with a brief take on climate change and global warming.. The global climate negotiations seems to be always hitting a dead lock because of global corporate lobbying. This could therefore be the reason that we still don't have in place any global legislation on global warming. Well let me move away from the heat before someone attempts to create a political storm of sorts. By the way I still don't understand what makes the world leaders at the recently concluded Leadership summit to believe that India is a power emerged and not any more a power emerging. They hold that our economy is growing at almost 8 to 9 %.Now how is that so when I stil...

It's Different..

You can't label me Maggi mania just because I am using their ad line for this post. Also I should say I have never ever tasted 'maggi' though it ever remains a great snacking for my family. Now 'it's different' when I say I love 'Maggie' because I am now talking of the character in the comic strip "Bringing Up father". However unlike Mr.Jiggs (Maggi's husband) I continue to be in the working class and don't forsee inheriting any wealth to make me a nouveau-riche. Now whatever I said so far do inspire me to use this post to write something about "making a difference" & truly it's different... I believe that in today's complex world nobody can stop getting into trouble one way or the other. Anything from your boss(HARI SADU) to your credit card and your car parking space can create trouble for you. However if you are tactful in handling the situation,you are able to get out of it and 'makes the difference'....

Will we..? Mr.Obama..!

We are the largest democracy in this world. We are seen today as a global weight that has the potentials of turning around the economy of the oldest democracy across all the continents. There is no country in this world that is not wooing us for their own economic stability and well being. We have surely emerged as one true colossus figure to the united states of America. President Barrack Obama's indispensable India is all set to welcome the 44th President of America to the negotiating table, that may lead to giving jobs to million Americans back home,that may become a potential catalyst in bringing back the shine into the lack luster American economy. with all the President's men,an army of sniffing dogs, US secret service agents, helicopters,ship and high end security instruments President Obama's Saturday to Monday visit,should find Mumbai and Delhi virtually turned into a sort of Fort Knox. President Obama has already proved to be a great orator. He has already ach...

Let the Devil get it's CREDIT..!

No national level swindling and loot could ever have made such historic headlines as did the recently concluded XXI Commonwealth Games. No political personality in the recent past could have ever remained so long on the headlines and consumed mega marathon bytes as Mr. Kalmadi. His name when googled returns 17,200,000 results in just matter of 0.06 seconds.... Mr Kalmadi remained the common man's a common 'Lakshya' for booing,jeering and venting angers all through the time when CWG was almost perceived to become a write off and a still born delivery. His own political high commands and partners in trade started distancing and disassociating from him. None of his political team after all wanted to be a part of a mega failure that was in an offing then. Then at the nick of time everything changed and an incrediable India rose up to put together a GREAT GRAND MEGA EVENT. The 2010 Commonwealth Games became a run away success for India both as a host and as a particip...

a 5 crore of disappointment..!

He is the acclaimed Mozart of India. He is our Oscar getter.A winner of two Grammy awards. He is one among the many Indians who have done pride to the country. He remains Bollywood's most sought after music director. Singers of eminence keep crowding to be part of his banner. He is instantly likable and his music lastingly satisfying.Yes he is A R Rehman and I remain one among the millions of his die hard fans. However his performance at the 19th Commonwealth Games opening ceremony at Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium at New Delhi failed to inspire. The composition and rendering of "Jeeyo Utho,Badho Jeeto" was so lackluster and uninspiring that it became a disastrous disappointment to me and I am sure to many more of his die hard fans. This also in a way proves that our great Bollywood biggies are simply becoming arrogantly mean and money driven. Be it the big B or Sharukh Khan, pay them what they demand and they will be ready to dance on the streets of any slumdog localities whe...

No "PARKING" zone for "GOD"..!

We all believe in GOD. We also believe that we are all his creations. We further confirm that it is HIM who ultimately rules over his creation. Also it is HE who decides the fate of all of us RAM,RAHIM,JOHN and LUCKY SINGH's. Religion is simply a man made medium to understand GOD and to fall back on HIM to gain ourselves necessary strength and courage to move about in the land of his creation free and fearless... Today we find our individual "religions" becoming the most dreadful medium that keep creating obstacles for our free and fearless movements around our own country. The politicians in this country continue to use religion as a weapon to instigate violence and cripple the spirit of religious tolerance in this country. I am sure had it not been for these mean politicians we would not be witnessing today almost more than 3rd of our security forces deployed all across the nation simply to prevent political instigation of public over a verdict which would have been a ...
