Tryst with Destiny

Today is April 11 th, the day I was born. Just as usual this birthday is supposed to be a relatively calm day.
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. One thing about being in India and not being in India is that you get an outsiders view about Indian politics so you are no more biased about liking a party.

Here you would find people with doctorates go crazy over their affiliations with a faction but you can also observer that people can become more matured on comparing our leaders to the leaders of the world. The initiatives, the concerns and how the other governments are trying to overcome common problems can be seen as a clear difference between a leader and a politician.
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 priorities.

Now in sports, Punjab loses to Pune. Yuvraj trying to prove a point to Punjab for not retaining him. Malinga causing all the damage that he could not do in the world cup.
Malinga is now a lethal bowler with a 5 wkt hall against Delhi. Sehwag was the only one to stand tall and my neighbor and friend Venugopal Rao tried his best to score something out of the ordinary but succumbed to the yorkers of Malinga. Tendulkar and Rohit score decently at less than run a ball

Sarfarosh ki Tamanna = The time for a revolution.

Hai liye hathyaar dushman taak mein baitha udhar, Aur hum tayaar hai seena liye apna idhar, Khoon se khelenge holi gar watan mushkil me hai, Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil me hai, Dekhna hai zor kitna baju e katil me hai." "Haath jin me ho junoon katate nahi talwar se, Sar jo uth jate hai wo jhukte nahi lalkaar se, Aur bhadke ga wo shola sa hamare dil me hai, Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil me hai." "Hum to ghar se nikale hi the bandh kar sar pe kafaan, Jaan hateli par liye lo kar chale hai ye kadam, Zindagi to apni mehmaan mout ke ke mehfiil mein hai Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil me hai." "Dil mein toofano ki doli aur naso mein INQUILAB, Hosh dushman ke udaa denge hame roko na aaj, Duur reh paye jo humse dum kaha manjil mein hai, Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil me hai. Dekhna hai zor kitna baju e katil me hai."

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...

Martyrs but for whom

The following blog is just a thought of 11/27 A population worth a 110 billion and we have the best brains around the world and the country is incredible and shining as per the politicians and suddenly one day the shine has become red and the credibility of the nation is under stake for its not able to safeguard its citizens forget about the tourists who visit the country. 49 hrs of struggle from the esteemed Indian commandos and 49hrs of tension,anxiety,melodrama but has the lesson being learnt. No, Its taken as a place to start taking advantage of, the politicians have started their comments,finger pointing each other, highlighting the failures of one another. We have lost the best courageous people in dealing terror but still the system has not learn't that its time to reform, regroup and reunite India to thwart the forces against it in the international arena. The people seem to understand pretty clearly that terrorism is above religion,region,caste,creed or any other division ...
