Tapping my feet when in the showers...

Switch on the TV and start surfing channels. Don't we feel bored to the bone... watching all those Sas Bahu serials and those stupid Rakhi & Sawant shows. Besides this I wonder how much can one endure seeing those Nobody & Anybody murdering time & values in the reality shows called Big Boss. These all being not enough we continue to get heavy doze of scribe elites, politicians and socialist debating common man and his never ending encounters with price,petrol & panic without value adding any work around solutions. We also remain slapped with never ending bytes on 3 G scams & political parties and politicians gimmicks. Though on rare occasions we do come to see one odd brave heart slapping politicians and reminding us of People power. Anyway it hardly helps us in making our thick skinned Parliamentarians do the job they are paid for. These lust & power greed politicians continue to use the tax payers money as a privy purse for financing their

SLAPPING on the FACE

India is a welfare nation. This means govt role is not limited to collecting tax and protecting life and property It has also the responsibility of overseeing the growth of the people by ensuring that adequate food, shelter are provided to them. Also implementing proper Health and education program to ensure general health and literacy of the people. In short it is the responsibility of the state and central government to see that all welfare measures are implemented and monitored. We the people therefore elect our government under parliamentary democracy to ensue we as a nation as much as people remain a story of growth, development and prosperity(GDP) However the stark reality is an altogether a different story..A story of horror,plight,pain and insecurity. We are today the nation that has become politically bankrupt. Politicians and political parties are lost in fighting out for power, greed and vengeance. Our Parliament remains paralyzed with non performance. The country

I have been so engrossed with my anxiety of being a sixty plus that I almost keep forgetting every year the arrival and departure of Children's Day (14, November) . I still remember my those childhood days when I used to runaway and hide every time I broke some costly ceramic tea set or other valuable items. Being the youngest and the only son among the four children I would always cry without reasons after fighting with my sisters... I also remember my nutty and  naughty school days. I still remember my English teacher explaining William Wordsworth Poem "The Rainbow". However for some strange reasons I am still not remain convinced with Wordsworth's famous line "Child is the father of man". Well those were the wonderful days that keep lingering in my mind and memory. Whenever I get bitten with the complexity of present day living , I always revisit my school days and feel like the man who finally flew over the cuckoo's nest.. I am now

This is India. Here Cricket is a religion that will continue to bond together people cutting across their faith,caste, customs & gender. How else you explain the fanatic followers of cricket that keep swelling in number and remain dotted across the length and bredth of the country. Again this is India. Here corruption is an institution that will continue to play a lead role in restoring people's faith in Democracy. This is why we the people keep electing same tainted political parties and politicians back into parliament or into power at every election. For instance politicians responsible for Bofors, Fodder & Hawal scams continue to remain today either in power or in the parliament. It is not that the largest parliamentary democracy in the world does not have systems & process in place to check corruption. We have CAG, CVC, CBI which are government bodies responsible for overseeing government transactions, extracting accountability and enforcing criminal charg

The Race where competitors matter...

On the tracks after that very quick & cracking Happy Diwali break. We have just arrived to the beginning of a very exciting and a gonna be a memorable week-end. That's how I see the Friday for all us F-1 enthusiasts... The 17th race of 2011 Grand Prix flags off at Buddh International circuit at greater Noida (India) These big names of F-1 team RBR Renault,McLaren-Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari will be pitting each other so also India's Force ONE. The great F-1 drivers that we will be seeing in action will include Michael Shcumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Seabastian Vettel and Jonson Button. The competitor's cars are so well matched that individual vehicle performance can differ by only tenth of a second per lap. Therefore a straightaway overtaking of car is just not possible. The most common means of overtaking will be out-breaking the other at the bends. It's a tricky maneuver. If the passing car is not careful it could overshoot the turn and lose time or spin out

At one part of the time, I was the part of the herd. A herd that heard and flocked behind the stakeholders of a movement that was nationwide. It was a call for the people to war against corruption. In spite of my political awareness and despite my well stack knowledge bank, I simply drifted into the movement. Now looking back I feel how stupid I was. This was not a discovery. It was simply a confirmation to the self that being a common man one is bound to be nothing but stupid. Let us not live in idealism. It will take some more light years for us to prove that waging war against corruption is a workable solution. For now this war against corruption is simply a means to pit one against the other for a defined political agenda. The masses and the media are simply the tools to achieve a desired political effect. Now should we be stupid enough to remain stupid that we are. Why not we wise up for a change and kick start a movement to demand that we are OK with corruption as long as

F I racing may never be a popular sports in our cricket crazy India. However that will not stop the excitement of watching on our home track the Formula-one racing ."Buddh international Circuit at greater Noida is all set to flag off the GRAND PRIX on the 28th . This October is all set to be a greatest festivity season. So let us get set and get familiar with the Big picture of Formula one Racing. This post is a walk through on all about TEAMS.. The field of competitors are broken into teams. with each team running two cars. Some are manufacturer's team and others are independent teams. The example of manufacturer(called constructors) in F 1 language are Honda, Renault,Toyota. The independent team imply that the entire car is manufactured except the engine, which is procured from major engine suppliers such as BMW, Mercedes and Honda. In either case the teams have to get the sponsorship from Global corporate giants who remain eager to get their logo in front of the world
