The month of MAY.,, It was dead of the night , I was just about to catch my wink of sleep when the  silence of the night was suddenly disturbed by the shrill of the telephone bell ringing in the drawing room. I got up from the bed and like a robot  walked  into the drawing room to  pick up the phone. As I lifted the receiver and brought it to to my ear, I heard a voice from the other side that said...Hi Bala. The voice was very familiar, so I said hi and got  into conversation.  The phone conversation went on something like this: The voice from the other side:   Bala what is this "Corona Virus"?  My Voice:    Hey don't tell me you don't know ...I chuckled The voice from the other side :   You stupid  if I knew that  I won't be asking  My Voice:     How could some one on this damn earth remain so   ignorant...I quizzed The voice from the other side :  ...

In human this virus causes resiperatory track infections that can be mild but can turn leathel very fast if not treated immediatly. Covid-19 is part of the group of  "Coronaviruses".  It is this Covid-19 that has now globally hit us.  Ecnomically crippled the world is fighting the war for  very existence  As per United Nations out of the total 195 countries world over  193 countries are fighting this virus .It has now become a fight for very survival.

It was the landslide victory in the GE of year 2014 that gave BJP the glittering vision of its political future. The Party’s total faith on its political Slogan “Modi hai to Mumkin hai” then became the party “Bible”. Soon thereafter “Modi” became BJP’s very definition of Democracy .For the first time in the political history of India the voters of the world’s largest democracy decided to unconditionally     agree to not disagree with Modi’s political and administrative decisions. For the people in general Modi’s word became a “Satya Vachan” unmindful of his “Mann Ki Baat”.No doubt he has become the pied piper for the masses. The masses that constitute almost 400 million illiterate people plus over 300 million people living in abject poverty. These are the numbers out of the 900 million total eligible voters that we have in the country at the close year 2019. Incidentally the average voter turnout in any GE generally remains below 60% and bulk of which constitute the...

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 ...

The Congress and the UPA remain defiantly guilty of betraying people's trust and that probably led to their going off the political  power way back in 2014.. It would be interesting to note  that RTI Bill was passed in the  Parliament during the UPA regime and it was under them that "The Right to Information" Act 2005 became a law  . Ironically one of the major reasons for the Congress led UPA fall in 2014 was RTI . Major scams that came to light through RTI then  were  Adarsh Housing Scam, 2 G Spectrum Scam and Commonwealth Irregularities to name the few.  BJP/Modi led NDA  made maximum use of these Scams to strategize their massive win that year They then  almost  sealed the political fate of the "Congress". The Modi led BJP/NDA has now comeback for a second term on the strength of a massive mandate. We have been witnessing time and again since year 2014 the law of diminishing Democracy taking root and  adversely affecting...

Reading this Novel was interesting absorbing and intriguing all at the same time. It is a pleasure writing a review for this book  This is a Novel which unfolds a story  almost effortlessly through a chain of  dream sequences on board of a late night  Delhi- London flight .This is the author's second book. If his  first book was a collection of 27 short  stories based on his encounters in day to dav  life, this book I can say is all about an Encounter of third kind. The book casually starts off in the Aircraft where  our protagonist  picks up   conversations with few fellow passengers while the aircraft is still on a start mode for a take off. The way the author has presented the ongoing  tete-a-tete and the Air hostess/Flight attendants routine rituals proves  that he has that stuff of  being a keen observer of minute details. He has captured them all beautifully The entire book is on a simple conversational ...

Back in 2014 the Nation was so pissed up with Scams and Scamsters that for the first time it decided  to vote out a Party and vote in a Leader. This was  how Narendra Damodardas Modi arrived on the National  political arena. The rest is history.  Today less than 100 days away this  Nation will once again go  to polls  This time  will this Nation  elect a "PARTY", a MAHAGATHBANDHAN" or a "LEADER" is  a wait and watch scenario till about July  when hopefully the outcome of 2019 General election will be known.  It is therefore no exaggeration  when I  say that  the entire Nation today including our Media channels are busy predicting and debating Election 2019  PM Modi's  working style right from year  2014 has  led  us to believe that he intends to turn  our Democracy  into a dictatorial regime. This may be fairly true and perhaps  needed too.  We are a ...
