Of Saints and corrupt ministers

Last couple of weeks is the few weeks I had to relax a bit. As life starts to catch me again, let me write about a few stories of the week. A saint a philosopher and a self proclaimed avatar of God reaches his final destination in the journey of life. He proclaimed that he would live till 96 for starters. A man who made millions to follow him. History would support him as being the most influential and spiritual leader in Hinduism to have effected the most number of Indians. He leaves a legacy of good deeds and I neither know the truth in his scandals nor completely approve of his so called magic. Whatever he has done, hopefully the good deeds initiated by his followers continue. 40K crores and a few set of reliable trustees, now is the time when the drama begins. Moving on to the next stories. The daughter of DMK chief is chargesheeted for being a part of the 2G scandal. No money lost but lots of people getting involved shows a violent system. Suresh Kalmadi is arrested for his role i...

Tryst with Destiny

Shopping was the trend of the day.I have seen my bro saying that its been 6 yrs since the graft bill has not been cleared so that money stashed abroad can be brought to India.

The learned are more concerned about the Nuclear fuel and its energy while they forget the basic 3 things required for a common man. Food, Clothing and Shelter are no more the prio...

Commitment

Word of the day for me is commitment. Beginning right now, I would commit to writing at least thrice a week on trends and topics ranging from politics to philosophy. A daily dose of my world from words that I chose to write. Saturday is usually a laid back day being a weekend. Its also a day which I generally try to introspect all the happenings of the week. Salutations to the man who has tried to portray that he has doing it for a social. Ladies and Gentlemen Take a bow to the personality of the week. Mr. Anna Hazare. I have been in the past critical of the fact that no one is serious enough on finding a way to eradicate the biggest social evil that plagues Indian society. Corruption is an evil that has already taken many a sincere one in the society. When I speak to people around me, they have already accepted the fact that they live in a corrupt society and would chose to support politicians who would help them in a way. So the corruption has already polluted the minds of the peopl...
