"Time will say who will Win"....

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 country of 134 crore with  a  cacophony of religious, cultural and social disharmony.Our p

Holy cow!

I have no religion. In fact I don't know what is GOD or who is the creator. When I speak I don't make any sound of music.  I can't speak so  my pain and my agony goes unheard and unattended. I don't  understand the politics that you make of my life. I remember I was once upon  a time  the political  symbol for your oldest political party called Congress  Of late I have become synonymous to a religion you call Hindutva. I now remain  patronised by a  band of bandits that you call "saffron Brigade". You have made me  the tale of two sects , one  that loves to see me on their dinning table and the other who believes in using my name to sniff  away innocent lives .You have made me the cause of great intolerance.This is so saddening, since by nature I am the least of "intolerance". I remain both in life and death a  source of your protein. I have horns yet I don't honk and add on to your noise pollution.  I have come to realize I rather live in

Please Don't Mess Up !

It's nearing a decade since I turned a senior citizen and also  became  a Morning walk enthusiast. However of late I have stopped the morning walks because I  hate wearing the mask .Honestly this nasty pollution  has screwed up my routine and litterly made me a couch potato. These days mostly I find myself either switching the TV channels or scribbling on the twitter. I remain so possed with the deteriorating enviornmental situation that even in my dreams I remain "environmentalized"  A conversation that I had with "Mother Earth " in one of my dreams is a proof..... ..Here I go.... ME: Morning walking in the nearby public park, I hear somebody calling me from behind. I turn back and  what I see...the "Mother Earth" sitting on  a nearby bench. She looked so worn out and sad almost tired out. I go and park myself  in the bench beside her and I wish Good Morning "Mother Earth" Mother Earth: What Son....this is a "Smoggy

Are we...? Essene of this Democracy!

The other day I was trying to cross the road at Rajpath in Lutyens Delhi  I found a zebra crossing adjacent to the traffic signals. Since the  lights had just turned red I thought it was safe to cross the road using the zebra crossing. But I was wrong , a white Scorpio with a political Party flag fluttering zipped past me. It nearly brushed me. I was completely zapped, The Scorpio paused   after a distance ,just to hurl some much spoken abuses in Hindi and fled away. I remained so stunned that  for a moment  I almost forgot that I was in the middle of a busy road  Any way God was kind and  I came home in one peace. The incident reminded me  of a passage of a book that I read  recently.  This book was about a highly qualified Indian technocrat settled in Bonn Germany. In one of the many conversations that he was having with one of his Indian friend  visiting Germany as a tourist is this.... "You see here when a pedestrian is on the zebra crossing all the speeding

Being Hindu & Being Indian..!

I am a Hindu. In principle I believe in vegetarianism. However I am not against people who make animal their food. Neither I   discriminate in the people's  preference of meat.  I don't indulge in dictating the food habits of the people. I am  pained to see every one blaming my religion for  promoting Cow vigilantism and  lynching human lives.   The  name Gandhi is being used by the  politicians to loot the country, so also being Hindu is used  to divide the people. Of late   Hindutva  has  become a handy tool for politicians to propagate hate and violence. My religion like other religions has   predominantly become a  political vote bank. Today the so called intellectuals in the country even  brand Hindu as being a militant.  My religion today has become a mute spectator of political instigation and manipulations.  Hindu religion  is a faith, a faith that is born out of truth and dharma. A faith that has stood on its own legs for centuries

Reading between the Political line.....

The Karnataka electioneering  campaign was one of the worst seen  in recent times . Our political parties continue to keep  weaving  political issue out of cast and religion  In the recent political campaigning in  Karnataka it was   ligayate, hindutva and Dalit issues that kept the political vocal cords most aggressive unmindful of the disgusting level it touched.  It is a common sense  that for our National Media , standing independent is never a sutainable business model . So they by default remain a sold out political venture. Paid media is what is generally they are know as . The poll result for Karnataka will be out on 15th so  let us not go by the media debate that promises to keep our national viewers shifting their political opinions. We all know that a BJP win in Karnataka will help this political party to open their account in Tamil Nadu and Kerala  In case Modi and his  BJP  is  able to build an inroad into Southern states they will become the most political su

Karnataka Polls..2018

Politics is rarely beautiful but in India today it is much more uglier than we ever thought so. KARNATAKA state in southern India is today a poll bound state. It will be going to polls on 12th of May to  elect 224 MLAs. This state is currently ruled by Congress and her allies. BJP and Modi being in the center of POWER in India today are desperately looking forward to take away the reigns from Congress. In spite of Modi's  global popularity, the BJP has so far not been able to make her grand political entry  into South like it has done almost the entire of  North ,West and to some extent EAST. Though so far they are unable to make inroads into Bengal. Having said that, BJPs desperation to win this poll is very evident. Even their so called heavy weight CM Yogi camped in Karnataka. This UP CM was discoursing with the Hindu Sages for ban on cow slaughter. when his own State was bleeding hell.   I feel pity for the people of UP getting politically slaughtered for electing Yogi A
