Her butt is on fire. She can't take off. Her wings are clipped .She is  grounded .She is off  her strip. Her charms can no more woo the customers .This birdee is bidding time, hanging around the hangers. This is the plight of this Kingfisher ....The man who owns  her is a  taste bud for all the finest  thing in life. He is one of the famed 'bird watching' enthusiast of  par excellence. He knows she is the most colorful of  the Boeing...Boeing tribe... At 27 inheriting an empire of corporate wealth from his father Vittal Mallya.....he remained on the fast track, that earned him not only a playboy reputation but also got him a tycoon tag. He owns 2 corporate jets,one personalized Boeing 727 ,a collection of Vintage cars, 2 Yachts, and scores of homes and mansions around the world. His personal fortune is around $1.5 billion. His flagship company UB...brews the finest Beer.....that keeps all of us chirpy and cheerful all through the summer weekends. He is a corporate c

Politics of disrobing 'Draupadi'

We are neither perplexed nor paranoid   by the  political  and  economic upheaval that this great country  is going through. Our Republic may turn 'Banana' so what we are still happy to slip away into our own dreams unlimited. That's what we are...'the mango people'... ripened in poverty , soaked in inflation the only  remains of a democracy that is turning rogue and repulsive with every rising 'son'... Elections are  fast becoming a failure of faith and a mandate of empty words and broken trust. Collusion politics collude not for reforms but for rupturing  regional and religious sentiments.The political philosophy  remains heavily contaminated. As a nation we have seriously run out of thought leadership. How long should we keep defending our lack of initiative for  growth and developments. Simply because we insist that at 63 we are young, cannot absolve us from the guilt of under achieving growth and undermining our potentials.It is time we should

Innocence of this world..?

Whenever I am not doing anything, I keep talking to him. When I am in distress I think of him. He gives me the courage to move on in spite of obstacles  My trust in him is simply not breakable.There are occasions  when I yell at him.There are times when he will simply let me down. However my faith in him will always remain  like that of a mountain.. unshakable. He knows this is a world were co-existence in diversity is challenging. He will never ever therefore  get provoked. Be it Satanic or Angelic verses on him, be it act of ridiculing him through film, he seldom gets touched by people' buffoonery. He will always laugh away all the malice towards him. He believes in people's freedom of expression much more than any Democracy can ever advocate.He wonders therefore how can people for his cause become barbaric and start bloodying the world. He finds it funny and annoying when in a world of 8 billion people, a mere 1.6 billion people start behaving  as though they own him

She comes from a lower middle class family. She lost her father at a very young age. In spite of her family's economic struggles, she determined to pursue her education.She not only graduated but also  mastered in Islamic History. She has proved that a will can always open up ways. It was more of hindsight than planning that found her  hitting the political turf...rest is a living history of a woman who is daringly ambitious and  unpredictably wavering . She could throw a googly without aiming. She  could also spin away from her stand more on presumptions than on principles. She is one rare lady who on 'opportunity calling' can walk back even from a point of no return. For her affordability, is a non issue yet she will never switch from cotton to silk nor she will replace her jholla for Gucci bags. She is the queen of India's collusion politics.Like the queen on the chess board, she can move into any directions and if need,can be back to Square1. She is not a

In India today Politics  has not only become too chaotic and unpredictable, it has also become the vital  culprit  in de-railing the train of  reforms and progress. Just for political sake much needed economic and social reforms in the country are being thrown off the track. Taking steam off the growth engine has become a norm with political leaders.This is a clear indicator that in this country politicians will always thrive and drain the economy for the sake of politics and at the cost progress and reforms. I have always held West Bengal as the mecca of most learned and forward looking intelligentsia. It is therefore more saddening  to see people of Bengal choosing a leadership which believes a) Every crime and rape in the state is a conspiracy against the state b)  Reading English Daily is being anti-social c)  Caricaturing of political leaders is  belittling gods d)  Studying  Karl Marx  is being anti democratic e)  Industrialization is a crime against poverty  FDI in

We are projected to become world's  most populous country by close of summer of year 2024. Imagine if this event becomes officially a part of the 2024 Summer Olympics, I am sure no power on  earth can stop us then from bagging Gold Medal..not even China. Which means we will be effectively beating China in the number tally. Today we are 1.2 billion strong and a surviving democracy. Fifty percent of us are below 24 years. This makes us a young and youthful India.  However the youth here continues to remain on a vibrating mode and thus are left unheard and  and unattended. This is the irony of a country which once upon a time was a home for  great  patriots like Saheed Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad to name  a few. This perhaps is also  a major reason for India for  being desperately poor in spite remaining modernized in many fields. Half of our children below 5 years keep dying of malnutrition  as millions of tonnes of grain and wheat keep rotting in summer heat and monsoon

When  I look at the complete crop of grayed hair sitting on my receding hairline, I don't feel the cramp of old age. I never care to sit down and get some weight off my feet. I am just fine being me. I simply hate  to  go through  SWOT analyzing  the self and remain pretending a full grown professional. I know I am  simply a home spun ordinary man and a face book that anyone can read Happily I don't care to keep a count on 'like&dislike clicks'  Most often I am not quite enabled  to pretend  happiness seeing people,  whom I knew to be duds climbing up the professional ladder with all ease and no strain. This quite often makes me go mad.  I feel duped and keep regretting looking back at my professional career path. Things like this take  time to get off my head. Add to this a discomforting economy and a sinking civic environment also keeps me grumbling and fuming. I know this is no life OK for me. I should not keep grumbling and keep listing my regrets.
