saddi "Navi Dili" aho ji..!

That was a time when one could have never imagined 'St Stephens college' becoming a
co-ed college,nor 'LSR' opening its gates for boys. Who could have thought 'Khalasa college' getting shifted to be near 'Miranda House' and 'Venketeswara college' becoming one of the elite colleges of DU.I never thought 'Dhaula Kuan' &'Safdurjung' roundabouts and 'Moolchand crossing' would one day get transformed to be one of the most stylish free ways of the country. Who ever knew then that one could commute from'Shahdara' to'Kashmiri Gate'in'30'minutes flat in the AC comfort of'DelhiMetro'

Well Delhi has come a long way from being looked up as one 'big village' and a Babus own city to become a 'hip hop and happening' Mega city. 'Saddi Dili' is today on the 'fast track' of transforming into a world class city that may even beat '
'San Francisco'and 'London' at one point of time. For this to happen it becomes responsibility of each and every 'Delhites' to come together in harmony and peace to protect this beautiful city from being torn,swindled,raped by reckless and greedy 'thekedars' and lecherous 'politicians'.Let us once for all get it straight that Delhi and her heritage is the 'commonwealth' of the people of Delhi and not jagir of rogues,ruffians and rowdy politicians. We need to ensure "Commonwealth" Games will become a dream come true on time and in style.Also we need to prove that 'Athiti Bhava'..is a reality that we can always remain proud of..after all for 'Delhites' it is always 'Dill Se'...aho ji...!

In conversation with Bapu....

With 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' and 'Abide with Me'the Soul-stirring martial tunes and solemn drum beats at the majestic Raisina Hills the "Beating the Retreat" ceremony marked the conclusion of the week long ceremonial functions of India celebrating her 62nd year of Republic.As the illumination lit up the edifices of Imperial India..my thought reached out to that day into the history of independence that finally dropped the curtain on a life called "Gandhi"...the man whose experiment with truth may not have jelled with today but his name has truly become the brand that remain most misused & manipulated both in trade & politics.As I key-in these lines I can read out the conversation that would have transpired between the "soul of Nation" (SON) and "Mahatma Gandhi"(Bapu)....Read on what I read..... SON: Bapu it's me,are you sleeping....? BAPU: How can you ask that...don't you know this day in the year 1948..I was gu...

But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country. Yes it is time for General Election. In the coming months for the 15th Lok Sabha, 714 million eligible voters would be 'bee lining' to the ballot boxes across 29 states,6 union territories to elect 543 members . 'Jaago-...

My expiriment with "TRUTH"..

It was today but the year was 1981 and the day was probably a Saturday. I was there on the ceremonial stretch of "Raj path".There were about 4 lac people like me "all excited", getting ready for the "action shot" for Richard Atendbrough's film "GANDHI". The scene was Gandhiji's "funeral procession".I was wearing white khadi "Pajama & Kurta" which I bought from Khadi gram udyog at 'Regal building the previous evening. This was the recommended "dress code" for the shoot. Probably I never thought then that I was about to be part of a "live action crowd" of this magnitude that will never again be filmed. Soon the heavy camera's parked on the cranes started rolling. I lost the count of how many times those giant like cameras zoomed in and zoomed out of me. I was simply emotionally charged walking the stretch shouting "Vande Matram","Mahatma Gandhi" "AmarRahe"...
