Politics, Fame, Money !

        Recently , Mamta Banerjee and Jayalaitha won state elections in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu . But question arises was it their victory or merely they won as people had no other option but to vote for them ."Aam Adami" has no other option but to choose best of the worst  pool. Congress People are mostly corrupt proven in recent times, and remaining are silent as our honorable Mr.Prime Minister . BJP dosen't have good leaders , regional parties concentrate more or less on a particular arena. So , what should be done by Aam Adami ??

• Leave it as it is
• Join Politics

         In case he/she choose first option , he will suffer on a long run . Few Examples i would like to quote is like rise in prices of petrol , inflation .etc. In Reality Prices of daily household things have risen to almost 60% in last 4-5 years . Thanks to good governance at center . Where dose these money go? Eventually it flows to swiss account of Sonia and group or people who believe in firm nepotism like Karunanidhi,  so that their great grand children can enjoy the money and power hard earned for them as legacy .

        In case he/she chooses second option, who will look after their bread and butter. Majority of Indian family has poor legacy/family property to count upon. Only individual who can manage their bread butter without worrying about  source of income can think of joining politics , but that means he/she should earn bread and butter by unfair means. Look at Politician around you take any example , existence of a national level politicians who belongs to common family is rare (likes of Atal Bihari etc). Most of powerful politicians are either big shots (financially) or have a legacy of politics left for them. 

       Talking about youth leaders like , Sachin Pilot, Rahul Gandhi, Sindia , Deora etc. Who do you think is a potential candidature for Prime-Minister of India ? You might think of all option but in reality every one of us knows "Rahul Gandhi "  is the right answer . Reason ?? He surpasses all other when comes to family name and money. Some might disagree on this point . People disagreeing might surf these links for more information related to this:  (Some one rightly pointed out  "Sleeping in poor's hut and working for poor - their is a big difference" . )

       Whats common in Rahul Gandhi becoming a successful politicians and Abhishek Bachchan becoming a successful actor ? Everything , both have Gandhi and Bachchan behind their name and good amount of bank balance which will make sure both succeed in their life. I won't be amazed to see Abhishek becoming a politician and Rahul becoming an actor , either  way they would be able to earn fame and money. Politics, Fame and Money - If you have any two you can make third one pretty easily. And While making third who suffers the most - "Aam Adami".

"Sab Chalta Hain"

"This particular article present my personal view and please don't take it up for a debate."

      Recently , We lost a friend at IIIT-Allahabad , my alma mater . We have been shouting since then about college administration , director's monopoly , vandalism and nepotism . Students gone for peaceful demonstration on campus , alumni supporting them from outside .

      Few people , are trying to do whatever best they can do to get justice for poor students protesting for three continuous day . Few - "abe chod na sirf Facebook ya Twitter update karne se kya hoga" , rightly said . Facebook and twitter is only for entertainment and to peep into one's social life . As per my perception is concerned , when you are doing great  people tends to attach themselves to you. If a institute features in news for innovation we say - "this is my great institution" . But when institute features for bad reason we tend to ignore it. A academic institution constitutes of  administration , student, alumnus, and intellect. A institute is made great "only if" all if it constituent goes well in tandem with each other.
      In society where i live "sab chalta hain" -  Ignorance is bliss. We often criticize corrupt people we are surrounded by , corruption , right or wrong , but will never take a step forward to bring what ever change we can . One is  in  habit of adjustment , sitting with coke in hand and criticizing what's  going on is total rubbish. People who try to do whatever they can, are most of time demoralized . I personally feel , people here should be held more responsible than corrupt politician or gangsters.  Yes , we people are more responsible of what happens around us, we have got no one to blame upon.

A Letter To Mr. Prime Minister

Repected Sir,

        You are pioneer of Growing India. Nations treats you as one of those visionary who changed the faith of nation as Finance Minister . We accept the fact that we have developed pretty well due to reforms done by you in early 90's. Serving as second term as Prime Minister you might feel proud of leading one of the  growing nation of World.
         But now a days i am buzzed by few keywords such as Corruption, Raja , Swiss Bank. Feels like feeding your own child , and then selling of  his body parts for buying glory for someone's family legacy. Why are you afraid of speaking cleary and loudly ? Is any one else who is moderating your voice and designation ? Rich is getting richer at cost of breeding poor . Was this your dream when you opened economy ? People thinks you are man with high values and ethics , but this position of yours is in dilemma. (Watch This) . 

        "India is today run by Sonia Gandhi and shadow cabinet under her. With President whose family is alleged to be involved in illegal and criminal activities (and who some believe was former servant of India Gandhi), India has become a banana republic under Sonia(whose education is limited to primary school)".

           Are you short of power or someone has kidnapped your dear-near one and you are on gun point to work and speak by kidnappers ?? Are you helping someone to build his or her dynasty in India on the lines of Middle East Countries ?? Stop being Puppet and act as a visionary which you used to be ,Its high time now, and we need a answer from you not your GodFather/GodMother.

Regards,
A Indian Citizen.

Cricket World Cup 11 || SACHIN-ism ||

             Cricket World Cup 2007 - West Indies , was insipid may be because India were out pretty early or may be that was the time when 20-20 format started gaining more importance than 50-50 format. Just one day to go , we can perceive vibes in and around us . Billy Bowden's  "tedhi ungli" , Kevin peterson's "ulti palti" , Harbhajan Singh's "ungli tingli"  or Dhoni's "helicopter shots"  had already buzzed  television  .
           
            Ingeminating the fact - "Cricket is religion in India and Sachin is God". 
          
             What Cricket means in India ?? Cricket is truly not only sport , but now a days a perfect business to invest , IPL the best example . So , in 21st century cricket is not "only sports" but a profitable business too . Its not about sports ,sportsmen spirit or mental strength but all about money , fame and more money .  Just recalling few keywords from past decade - match-fixing , cronje , jadeja, azhar, advertisements , ICL , IPL , Modi, Pawar , ICC , Spot -Fixing . What's common among all of this is "MONEY" and then comes "POWER". This is the religion of few people who shape  the game , its persistence and its future . Talking about Sachin , he belongs to different league . Refereed as God not because he is playing for India since last 22 years and hold unbreakable world records but for the reason of him being  a simple human being . I even don't remember since when i am following him but  What makes him ambrosial to GOD 
   - Always soft spoken 
   - Money is important but upto a level , recently rejected add offer from a liquor brand.
   - I can't recall a single incidence where he was involved in spat with his fellow players.
   - No Ego, simplicity ,respects peers.
   - Being an Indian before being a Maratha Manus.
   - At 37 also he plays with same enthusiasms as he did when he was 20.
   - Haven't heard of him being involved in any kind of relationship outside his marriage , unlike    other players. No Links-Up , Probably only celebrity i know so far.
   - No involvement in any cricketing scam , match fixing, IPL burglary ever.

        "This is Sachin" for me and for almost many of Cricketing enthusiastic Fanboy around. He dreamt of winning world cup for India since he started playing for India . This probably being his Last chance to play in World Cup has added  more excitement to the event. Moreover , he is a icon person when comes to 50-50 format of international games . Since rise of 20-20 format 50-50 has lost it charm and essence as people now like short format of game on cost of taking leave a whole day and watching cricket (with popcorn and Pepsico ). So , this mega mela will be crucial in predicting future and importance of 50-50 format. Sachin being an icon player for 50-50 format will try his best to advocate it presence and importance( and same applies for test matches). Here i would like to quote one of Shidhu's quote - 


"This cricket is like a burger, you can have it once a week but for a whole meal, you need to return to Test cricket. More than once a week, and it will give you a tummy ache"    


          World Cup - 2011 , hosted by India , Sri-Lanka and Bangladesh is expected to be full of fervor and exuberance. Irrespective of  results ,  enthusiasm among indian fans will make sure this event turn out be a huge success and will be ensured that some people do some good business as well ;). Hoping this event in India will be missing keywords like scam, match fixing etc, wish only Cricket . Finger Crossed . Go India !!!

Republic Day - 62nd year!

       "Happy Republic Day folks".  I would like share a video which i found on Facebook this morning  .Today marks the day in Indian history when we threw off " Government Of India Act 1935 " of dominion states. 26th January   1950 , was the date when new Constitution of Independent India came into effect . Credit goes to Constitution Drafting Committee headed by B.R Ambedkar .




      15th August , 1947, India Got Independence and on this auspicious day Constitution came into effect to maintain Independence and to real cast all the dreams that our freedom fighters have visioned. Every Step was taken to safeguard national interest and its security . Judiciary system was made independent of Executive and legislature in order to make sure justice will never be denied as was common phenomenon during British Rule. Reservation policy was temporarily introduced in order have equality when it comes to jobs, education etc.


      Sixty Five years after independence and sixty two years of being republic , Are we in a position to say - "We are a true republic democratic nation" ???  I Say - " Yes and No ". 
     Why "YES" ? Often people compare India with countries like America , European Nation and compare advancement . I agree , today these countries are advanced in technology, Monetary , Peace , standard of living of average people .  But.. We started development from almost zero since 1947 , means 65 years of development of second most populated country . And ,Yes we had came across pretty well comparing to years and decades of development in mentioned countries . British colony almost ruined India and to get back from that state is itself a great achievement .  When world was being westernized , India maintained it society and culture somewhere or other irrespective of many Indians going & living in other countries. This is itself a great achievement.
      Why "NO" ? Time and again some of our brother had mocked upon Judiciary system of India . Justice has been manipulated and delayed . Whether Jessica, Arrushi and Satyendra dubey everyone had suffered the same. Rich is getting richer and poor getting poorer . Government give subsidies on GAS , Petrol , etc equally to people who earn 1 lakh and people who earn 1000 .  Reservation on basis of caste system was added to constitution for certain incubation period , but now icky politics make it an national issue. Till now,  Education system is not strong enough to cater the literary needs of poor people .


      "I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions". -  Barack Obama  


          I hardly came across this kind of remark from any India Politicians . Every Citizen of nation especially our politicians , bureaucratic personnel , high profile industrialist who can make a difference in making India a True Republic Democratic nation should know the Preamble of Indian Constitution.    



Preamble of Our Constitution-

WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a [SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC] and to secure to all its citizens: JUSTICE, social, economic and political; LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; EQUALITY of status and of opportunity; and to promote among them all FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the [unity and integrity of the Nation]; IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION. - Jai Hind

Forgettable Hero!

      No one can describe Netaji using any "Part of speech" . Represented young and dynamic cadre of freedom fighter .Was one of  first few nationalist of nation who asked for "Purna Swaraj" or complete independence. Today is his 114th birthday , salute to nation's brave son.
     Media and Politicians is busy , discussing BJP' lal chowk, karnataka crisis , people showing black flag to Salman Khan,  Aamir Khans latest flick "Dhobi Ghat" and few scams. Just came across this-  people of west bengal celebrating his birthday as "Desh Prem Divas". Its seems  his presence is reduced to a particular region. Sooner or later i won't be surprised to see no one even remebering netaji atleast once a year.

Incredible India - Logomachy ?

      I was travelling to Pune . On the way was going through  "The Week" December edition , it left me in a state of logomachy - a meaningless battle of words. Front Cover mention -

  INCREDIBLE INDIA !
 - Pizza arrives in 30 minutes, the ambulance dosen't
 - More mobile phones than toilets
 - Car loans are cheaper thean education loan
 - Foodgrain rots as people die of hunger
 - Sex is everywhere except where it is supposed to be
 - Rice is 40 rupees/kg  where Sim cards are free.
 - Family size has shrunk, but no of homes increase
 - we worship goddesses and doom our daughters
 - Indians need permits to visit Arunachal , the chinese allow Arunachalis without visas
 - Individuals are hounded by loan recovery agents, defaulting firms are treated with kid gloves
 - Obesity and malnutrition are both on rise

      We all are familiar with these Indian Ironies , for majority Indians they hardly bother about  trifling fact. A common statement which i noticed from people - "No one can change this country, we can't do anything we are common people".   We abdicate the situation as we are expert in adjusting with the situations . Whatever happens we get adjusted to it as if "one is sugar to water". The crux of this is "adjusting" nature of ours. If Pizza arrives after 30 min one will be ready to talk about suing dominoes but if ambulance doesn't come on time then we would be ready to  adjust . We worship goddess as we are greedy and somewhere is afraid of them , but do kill daughters in womb as we have got power to do so. Every one in family needs home for themselves, each member of family need a vehicle for their convenience. Mobiles phones are more than toilets as now a days everyone need the luxury accompanied with mobile , people are comfortable peeing on roads while talking to some stupid credit card vendors.
       "Adjusting" nature is one of the main cause of above mentioned Ironies. But this aberrant behavior of ours dosen't stop India from being incredible.

      "Its high time now, we need to change oneself". - this was the final thought came to my mind!
