'Neta-Fobia'..'Jai Ho'...!

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

'TeamWork'...what an idea ! SirJi..!!!!

Oh.."NoJi" .....'teamwork' is never an "idea" ...it is simply 'action'.when.. "like minded" people join in for actioning a defined 'agenda' for achieving individual goals..that will be rewarding & mutually profitable. This is 'true'..and that is "Satyam" in Sanskrit. Such coming 'together' with a common intent always makes 'impossible' a possible 'deliverable'.In corporate parlance this is called "Management by Objective". By the way did you know "ethics" never enter the"Board Room". This gives a privilege to the 'members' of the "Board", their associated 'committee' and the so called statutory "watch dogs" to remain unscrupulous in all their 'transactions'. Well, well... don't start scratching your head ..I have this nasty habit of never able to come to the 'point' without beating around the 'bush&

"Towering...Optimism"...is that so.?.....

The 'gone' 'year' and the 'gone by' years may have made "terrorism" a 'towering inferno'...yet the zest to be 'alive' and be around in a 'terror free' world runs high within us...I call this the "Towering Optimism". I am a normal middle class mortal..and remain happy enough to stay high on 'hopes'.. picking up optimism in my life... and I will not call this "Towering Optimism".This is my way of looking at life as it lasts... I have greyed my hair trying to own a Maruti 800...but still I have not given up my idea of buying a "Ferrari". I still run into calculation errors...every time I plan a vacation for my 'family' even... if it is... just about a train journey.However I don't take this as a set back to my plans for a "cruise" vacation for my family. I have never received an opportunity to attend any of those Indian..... "Fat Wedding"..still I am confident of

Am..' Bushed '..Indeed...!

I was not able to connect my reader to my last blog entry "Oh..! What a "Head" !.. I appreciate being 'am..bushed'. I however feel.. I 'remained' connected to the scribble...may be that's what is obsession all about... Thank you ...Himanshu...for the wake up call... My 'scribbles' in the coming year..I.. 'hope'.. will remain an engaged reading.Well..well...that's a long way to go...? Now I will not be able to close this entry..unless I come back to subject "BUSH". The world may hate President Bush for different reasons.. but I will always hold my respect for him. I am glad he was able to 'duck' the "shoes".... The people of America may not have reasons to remember President Bush..but I as a human being will remember him for keeping the people of America safe after "9/11." I am not an Iraqi... hence I will not be able to fathom the Iraqi's hatred of President Bush. However I don't endors

Oh..!..what a "HEAD"..!

Oh...really.! Yes..then... what!..Did you know..? This is the "HEAD" the "Republicans" hated to be associated with. This is the same "HEAD" that became the "Democrats" reason for winning the 'elections'... This is the same "HEAD" that gave "BARACK OBAMA" the opportunity to talk about..a "change" for the 'Americans'. This is the same "HEAD" that made the 'Americans' believe that 'thank God'.. "Democrats" are not "Republicans". (this does't however mean that the Americans will stop reading "Ann Coulter's best seller .."If 'Democrats' Had any Brains, they'd be "Republicans") This is the same "HEAD" that.. has.. today created an "economic recession" mightier than "Katrina". Incidentally this is also the "HEAD" that directed the " Tragedy of IRAQ"... Hold it.!.. Are you

Tolerance ..'my foot'...!

The 'political party' system in this country ..has gone..far.beyond the definition of "impotisim"...goddamit..it is time we dump them one and all into the 'Arabian Sea'. As I write this... 'Aamchi' 'Mumbai" is burning hell...a handful of "sycophants"..have turned this loving city...into a "walking hell"...the body count has gone..beyond an 'insane number'...the city has lost some of her very brave 'police officers'...the 'NSG' has lost some of their young and promising soldiers..and apart from this ....100's of unknown faces...are being transported into the city morgue....how much should we endure...before we realise enough is enough. ..I am worn out and tired watching and witnessing one after other terror attacks...driving our cities mad...and I promise if this goes any further from here...very soon our city authorities will be looking for more 'morgues than Malls . If there is any little hu

Great Expectations

"No Magic just a Belief"...that was the title of my blog entry back in June ....that's when Barack Obama clinched Democrats nomination for the 'White House"...now here today Barack Hussein Obama stands elected as the 44th President of United States of America. Barack Obama has inherited a crunched American economy and crushed American hopes. However today this inheritance will not come in the way of the Americans celeberating Barack Obama's landslide victory.At last Obama's "Audacity of Hope" is seeing him through to the "White House". Will he give the fellow Americans the '"Change" he promises,or will he blame his inheritance for any non performance..time alone can record...But one thing is certain and that is today 'all Americans remain charged with "Great Expectations"...on what Barack Obama said and I quote... "I am asking my fellow Americans to believe in their 'Ability'... ..That's we
