If we can't smile,let's laugh it out..!

If India is young @  65  why should I be called an old man @ 63 but I can't do anything about it because half of our population is less than 26 and that is a happy and cheerful note and sure makes us world's most enviable potential. If this precious human resources are tapped and developed in a positive way , there is no denying that 21st century will be ours  for asking. Sadly our great parliamentary democracy has neither the will nor vision to tap this gushing energy.

Our National day celebrations remains  reduced to  rituals of pretending patriotism.These are the events which  our Presidents and Prime Ministers use to brag about the 'Freedom struggle. They take this opportunity to talk of Nehru's vision and Gandhi's Stewardship and then leave behind trail of  promises for growth development and wellness.

Sixty five  years of talks and promises have passed yet we don't see any sweeping changes. Be it the economy, be it the infrastructure or be it the law and order machinery. Inflation continues to be a ' kite' souring  the gloomy heights. Roads keep caving  away\. Bridges don't stand. Drains keep chocking. Criminals have turned bold and beastly. Rapes are no more a breaking news ,it has simply become a daily bulletin. Our civic living is turning  into a debatable talking point and remains entangled in governmental and local body buracracracy.

We are 1.4 billion strong democracy living in confusion. Almost 240 million of us  consider our  lives 'suffering' and just 13% of us say we are thriving. The international average for these suffering and thriving are 13 & 24 % respectively.

To-day the collusion politics is eating out the skin of the voters. Democracy has simply turned into  drum beats that  keep the voters dancing in futility. However there is hope still for us to raise up from muck and march ahead.Till then we have nothing to smile about... So what if we can't smile, let's laugh it out...HAPPY INDEPENDENCE....

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-

Just about...being a "Father"

A new world greeted them with smile and happiness when they... "Just met" and soon for them the wedding bells rang... Now, they are happily lost in their own world & together are learning to set- up a 'Home’ of their own... away from what was a home for them a little earlier in the year....That's "his" daughter & "his" son in-law. ..Being very adorable, the house has become little less chirpy after her moving out….. …."He" now does feel the boredom...but will never show it off... Because "he" is the father ...and expected to put on a stern face & always remain a 'matter of fact' person..... He is all set to explore & build-up a learning curve that may see him well in life in about a couple of years from now. After his graduation he may probably start living away from home in a distant land in pursuit of excellence...That's "His" son Being the darling of the house, "he" is

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
