Ambiguity Everywhere.

"Ambiguity Everywhere" is a conceptual term

Gripping Struggle For Strong 'LOKPAL'.

'LOKPAL' is the buzzword after the Gandhian crusader, Anna Harare came up with a resolution to the outstanding problem of corruption. When the entire country was averring nothing can be done to eradicate this menace, he came with a solution known to the subsequent govts.but none of them tried to put efforts of ordain this bill. Critics say that this is not as effective as we think it will be. This is myth that CAG and CVC are analogous to LOKPAL . These statements are just to demystify the truth and derail the crusade against corruption. A defunct and controlled Lokpal office exists in states like Karnataka, MP , Maharashtra etc in which the most successful  in tackling corruption was Lokayukta  Santosh Hegre in Karnataka who helped demystify the illegal mining happening for decades now in North Karnataka.  He is pragmatic and an intellectual man with a strong will power. He is an important part of Anna team which included Arvind Kejriwal (an IIT graduate and now a social worker), Kiran Bedi ( a renowned Social Worker) and many more. Anna is leading the most desirable change in the history of Independent India. One of the important aspects which make it more effective when compared to previous attempts to bring Lokpal Bill is that the youth of the country is on streets with their innovative ways to express their rage. Youngsters are taking full advantage of the information age. Communication is faster than the speed of light. I am happy that this crusade make to the Time Magazine's one of the top 10 stories  Under such circumstances no one can stop us achieve our goal as the conditions are conducive to bring prosperity, growth and stability in India.
           If you ask me about my take on Lokpal Bill i would say most of the clauses in the present Lokpal are acceptable except few. Bringing PMO under the Lokpal ambit is a sensitive issue but it is not impossible. In that case Lokpal alone should not have the authority to audit PMO. A Lokpal should seek permission from CJI and President to do so. Same way bringing judiciary under Lokpal is acceptable but to scrutinize Supreme Court Judges and CJI,  Lokpal  should keep PMO office and President in confidence. Other clause which says that lower bureaucracy, CBI etc be in the ambit of Lokpal should be acceptable undoubtedly.
              I feel Anna should not have allowed politicians to share the same stage as he stated in the beginning of the stir. Now he is trying to involve Opposition which is depicted in his latest Fast day 12th December. I somehow feel that adding political flavor to the "Ann Shan" was not required. This depicts the weakness of the Anna team to fight alone.  I suspect that this issue will turn political and will end up with no results. UPA Government is bound to pass Lokpal Bill during this winter session otherwise the movement will turn to be a mass movement and bigger than any other movement happened ever before. UPA should be ready for the backwash of ignoring Anna in the upcoming assembly polls if it fails to live up to our expectations. Still we can hope for the best and welcome 2012 with a efficacious LOKPAL bill in place.

Triskaidekaphobia...A Reality or A Myth

On 13^th of July 2011 Mumbaikars were filled with trepidation and the whole India underwent nervous trembling and apprehension after the ubiquitous breaking news on all the news channels. I came to know about yet another serial bomb blasts at around 6pm on that fateful evening. But this time I was not surprised, rather I felt as if this is a routine or I was suspecting this to happen. In spite of lamenting and languishing, I didn’t felt any change in myself. I am befuddled by my behavior. Have I accepted that I can’t do anything other than waiting for the next blast to happen? Whom should I blame for this? I don’t have answers as of now.

India is not ready for any contingency as the governance is incorrigible and what can be inferred from the present UPA’s behavior is that even the stakeholders are inert, indolent, and inept. Reverent incumbent prime minister is mum as usual; future PM candidate Rahul Gandhi again gave irresponsible comment that it was virtually impossible to stop all terrorist attacks, though every attempt was being made by the government and security agencies to do so; Digvijay Singh supported Rahul and made derogatory comment that RSS is a bomb factory. Succinctly it is nothing less than SHAME!!!!!

A separate discussion started about why they chose 13/07/2011. Some said Kasab’s birth day falls on this date. Some said it is to reestablish the fear of number 13, Triskaidekaphobia. This is not mandatory why they chose this date, but it is important that why they chose my country. How dare they do this again? When will we put an end to this sporadic network of terrorism supported by fundamentalists and enemies of humanity? Recently I read one article on internet that planning and execution of bomb blasts is outsourced. I am astonished by these barbaric acts and the vitriolic speeches of their bosses from across the border.

When I expect the government to be scrupulous, UPA govt is met with few scattered pockets of sardonic laughter. Our prime minister is so taciturn that we often discovered that we have absolutely no idea what he is thinking. We have misconstrued his potential; he does not possess leadership qualities. Sonia Gandhi is the real prime minister of the country. He is the person who is made accountable for all the wrong deeds. UPA should come up with some plan to combat terrorism and an effective security policy otherwise this is high time when country should think of an alternative in the center. We should change our ephemeral nature of not remembering these incidents. India should put an end to the wanton acts of terrorists , moists , naxals etc on a helpless populace to make their point. We should not enervate or deviate from our mission of eradicating this heinous crime from our planet.

Mumbai attack instigated Hillary Clinton's India visit. Is this a indication of stronger INDO-US ties in near future? Indian foreign policy towards US altered after the Pokhran test. It is the vision of the then Prime minister of the country, Mr. A.B. Vajpayee. There after I have seen a gradual improvement in the Indo-US relations. India and USA are natural allies; One the world’s largest democracy and another world’s oldest democracy. What should we call it and how should we look at it? I see some vested interest of US. Firstly, US is losing its ground in Pakistan and most importantly trusting Pak's ambiguous behavior can prove fatal for the American Middle East policy. Secondly, US economy is dependent on India to a major extent both in US as well as India. Last but not the least is the growth of China in the last decade which is difficult for the Americans to digest. China is a potential threat to both India as well as US. Considering all the above facts It is beneficial for both the countries to work together at the time when both are facing the menace of terrorism. It is inevitable to have better relations to combat terrorism. But at the same time India need to be conscious as US is known for its selfish instincts and deeds in the past. We need to take calculated risk as a growing economy; India can’t take US for granted following Obama’s Buffallo to Banglore remarks and strict Visa policies. We should assimilate that USA is a perspicacious and shrewd partner, before believing his veracity and going into any pact or agreement with them.

Obama: Modest, Diplomatic and a class orator

In the recent past, the festive season brought lot of happiness and most importantly firmness in the Indo-US relations. The White House guardian, Senate Barack Hussein Obama, paid homage to the nation in general and the father of the nation specifically. He put an end to all prior speculations on his stand on Indo-US relations, Kashmir issue, Indo-Pak relations and many more. He proved again to be a class orator and a very good diplomat, when he changed his stance in the Delhi auditorium after his prior conduct in Washington and Mumbai which was opposed by some parties in India. One thing was admirable and that is the Knowledge of Obama and his reverence for the father of nation, Mahatma Gandhi. It is the undiscriminating attitude and regard of the peace loving soul for the humanity, irrespective of the caste, color or creed, which makes him undoubtedly an ideal man. Another mirthful comment was the presence of a comrade in the gathering. Obama stressed on strong Indo-US relations and employment generation which was dubious to some extend.
What we envisioned in him is different than what he is. His speech was awe inspiring, motivational and full of veneration. He is the first person to affirm by saying: “Who says that India is a developing nation? In fact India is already a developed nation and deserves a permanent seat in UN Security Council.” Although his admission of India deserving permanent membership is opposed by some nations, it is still a welcome step. He added, “Fusion of world’s largest and oldest Democracies is mandatory to stabilize and rediscover the world.” I feel proud and on top of the world when someone who is not a native Indian respects India, its culture, people and its contribution to the world in different forms. At the same time I feel ashamed when an Indian becomes a maverick, be it a moist or a terrorist. Both the countries have mutual benefits of a good relation. The communism in China, and its suspecious and irresponsible role to support N Korea raises a question mark on Sino-US relations. But USA and India are democracies and are natural allies. In other words both are inevitable part of each other’s welfares.
Today, from top to the bottom you will find Indian representation, be it affluence, impoverishment, cultural richness, secularism, business representation, economic growth, technology, or anything else. But corruption is also there and holds a place in the long list which is a serious matter of concern. Choose any X Y Z field, we have attained acme in some and will achieve in the rest. No one can beat us and I affirm by saying “Catch Us If You Can”. Even Obama’s “Buffalo to Bangalore” comment is contradicted by his speech when he said that the digital world is India’s proprietary as ZERO (which represents 50% of the digital technology) is India’s find and contribution to the world. In totality, Obama’s visit is a win-win situation for India.
Obama’s definition of India is different than our definition of modern India. On top of his awe inspiring and laudatory words for shining India the biggest concern is the growing poverty, unemployment, growing urban as well as slum population and many more issues which need to be addressed as early as possible. It is noticed in the recent past that the business families in India are ready to shower millions on the Bollywood actress/actor for a simple marriage ceremony. Now the question is that, if a ‘guthka business family’ can spend millions of dollars in a marriage just to entertain and have Bollywood, why can’t they give some part of it back to the society from which they are generating this. Why can’t we Indian entrepreneurs invest in India rather than investing in foreign land? When the world looks at India Inc. a profitable market, why you are not able to visualize the fact and understand the criticality of the matter. In the recenthet past we have seen lot of foreign investment which is bouncing the SENSEX. Top nations which contributed to it are Mauritius, Cyprus, and USA. India has lot of potential of higher returns on investment because of being underdeveloped. Infrastructure is one of the areas which require lot of attention. Growing need of wider roads and alternative means of transport like metros, bullet trains etc. which will consequently imply that our energy needs will grow. This can act as a food of thought for the entrepreneurs, incumbent Govt. and the struggling politicians and the opposition. We need to be generous enough to do something for the society and the people of India. Moreover the bottom line is that every Indian needs to think on those lines by imparting awareness among people and increasing literacy rate. We should educate people to believe in nuclear families. There is no point is crying horse if we can’t contribute to the society.
I was guessing the same what happened immediately after Obama’s visit was over। The UPA Govt put an end to the baffling story of corruption. I thought the crescendo is yet to be achieved to sack The CWG chairman, The Spectrum Raja and The CM of Maharashtra. It was high time when some action was expected from the Govt. after the uproar in the parliament and mayhem in the media and public. Opposition is forcing to have a joint parliamentary committee to investigate the matter but already cornered Govt. is reluctant to entertain the demand. Let us see what will happen in the near future, but what we can say right now is that Indo-US relations are bound to grow considering the nature of challenges faced by both the nations.

I want to get rid of this slavery.

Turmoil in the Kashmir Division for the last 3-4 months is impelling me to express my viewpoint which will throw some light on the cause of the issue. A slap on the face of UPA and its coalition partner NC, left them red faced. Today i want to raise a question which neither Congress nor National Conference(NC) can answer. Kashmir Issue grown into a banyan tree, with its roots deep enough to be cut. The roots of the issues are entangled with the Congress and NC because of the wrong deeds of Nehru-Gandhi Family and Abdullaha Family. So this adage will help you understand it better: "AS YOU SOW SO SHALL YOU REAP". Separatists are adroit enough to exploit the situation ignited by Lt. Sh. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Lt. Sheikh Mohammad Abdullaha(Grandfather of Omar Abdullaha). All the parliamentary delegations and HM/PM visits are futile until and unless you understand the crux of the matter and what Kashmiris want. The rage in the youth of kashmir is because of the hatred induced in the youngster's blood for the last 2 decades. They have brooded a conspiracy some years back which is getting executed now. Just because Jawaharlal Nehru was not able to include J&K in post independent india, he left a dispute which took so many lives and dont know how many are still to be lost. India lost the battle when the exile of the then King of J&K Maharaja Hari Singh and handing over the powers subsequently to Nehru's close aide and Kashmiri bhai, Sheikh Abdullah.This expatriation can prove to be facial blemish for congress if this issue is not resolved ASAP.
Exploitation of Kashmir issue by Pakistan is because of certain important critical aspects. First Kashmir is a Muslim dominated area, which was not the case some years back when Pandits were there. Another important aspect is that Kashmir is a border state adjoining belligerent Pakistan. Third important aspect which is the reason why they are intrested in either joining Pakistan or an independent Kashmir including POK. I am amazed to hear statement of Musharraf on the launch of his party. Musharraf said," We still remember the time when India divided Pakistan and helped Bangladesh to seperate". He added, "Yes, we have raised terrorist camps in POK and are brooding Millitants on our land to take revenge of what india did with us." What we can make out of this is that we don't need to prove their ill wills which they are saying with pride.
Kashmir was independent the movement Shaikh Abdullaha became the CM. Since then 99% time it is being ruled by the autocratic leaders of Kashmir. In other words independence of Kashmir is nothing more than a mirage and can not be resolved until and unless they themselves understand what is right and wrong. But we people of Jammu and Laddakh are unnecessarily getting involved in this crap. What i feel that we are the real SLAVES. I want independence from this slavery. I want to come with India, be a part of India, grow with India. Why are you stopping me to join India? Is it because i love my country? Is being patriotic means i should lose my jobs every time in an economic or unemployment package to Kashmir. Each time selection lists in govt. sector jobs is manipulated or rules are changed to help Kashmiri's get it. Do you want me to be a maverick or anti-national like them to be heard? This is a BIG question which i am raising today to be answered. Government of India has to take special measures, otherwise i see a threat or whole country getting disintegrated as Europe, USSR or any other national disintegration. The basis of division can be any (language ,religion, region, race, or discrimination as in Jammu or North East). We need immediate redressal of the grievances and scores because the people are getting alienated. Jai Hind.

Reading versus Writing

Since long i didn't wrote anything and i have lot of excuses to make but no valid reason. Someone wisely said that barely reading suppresses your thought process and one day makes you foolish. I am experiencing the repercussions of the same bad habit of(not writing) not letting my brain work independently. Writing can be a very good pastime with astoundingly good results. Writing is a skill which you can not imitate by reading other writer's stuff. I still remember and feel the extra edge a student gains just by practicing and putting his thoughts down on paper. Don't take me otherwise, i am not against reading. In fact reading is a very good habit. Reading followed by ruminating and pondering over the subject to understand the thought process of writer is important which we must not avoid. This is also important what you read. Make sure you read less of fictional, filthy stuff and more of inspirational and motivational books. Although it is almost incorrigible when u r grown up, but the writing fad will help you improve your personality. If you don't , some day or the other you will feel the difference and its importance. So, better start it today than regretting tomorrow.

Learn from the CRADLE to the DEATHBED.....

Some days back i met a zealous personality. He was a seasoned professional, having MBA from IIM C and leading his own start up S/W company. His remarks were acrid, but i felt every bit of it a reality of each one of us. I remember when i got into an engineering college , i felt on top of the world. But in no time i realized the heat. Four years of my life were unforgettable and tiresome. When i completed my degree, i said WOWOOOO.......I got placed in a reputed IT Company, with a handsome remuneration and perks. I felt that now i need not worry. I was happy to be out of my regular studies; ready to rejuvenate. But, for the last four years i am in a quandary. Every evening i ask myself; what am i doing; what is my goal; what i want to achieve and many more. I am baffled and perplexed and sometimes i feel frustrated as well. I strongly agree that there are pros and cons of each and every thing in this world. This corporate world tought me lot many things. My perspective changed, i have new goals now which are double the complexity, as it was some time back. But now i need a change from this humdrum, unamusing s/w development field. This is what i actualized when i had a chat with that fellow. I felt as if he is scanning my mind and addressing all my frustration. He said, "You need to visualize your dreams and convert them into reality". But the question is, how? Who the hell in this world don't want to get his/her dreams come true? He added "Mind it, i am not talking about dreams which you see with closed eyes rather dream seen with open oculi." I believe, we should dream high, but be realistic and determined. Determinations is a major factor which plays a vital role in the growth of a successful person. "Be internally driven not externally". Utter loud when you are frustrated or feeling low. Be focused and motivated, you can win the game. Don't get excited when you are offered something lucrative. Think, suppose you lose the same , how much pain it can give you. Incubate new idea, engulf good thoughts and implement. After a little introspection i felt that reality is a myth. And the myth is that successful persons are bestowed with blessings and luck. Luck is a myth in itself. Reality is that, one who is working hard, without halt, is the ultimate winner. Be adept in whatever you are doing. Virtuoso is the requirement of the hour, no matter, what you do. The mantra of success lies in the continuous and rigorous learning and increased knowledge. Why i am saying this because most of us feel that studies are over once we are out of college life. But this is a wrong perception, actually it starts when we leave college. Formal education is there to learn methods of learning, it is not actual learning. Guys don't absorb energy but reflect it. I know it is an era of global warming but anyways plant trees and let them do the job. I see people going to office with tattered dreams with big tummies as if they have engulfed a BIGGG .......Come on guys! Buck Up! Start living and enjoy. Some of you feel going to office as if you are going to Tihar jail and the strict jailer is your manager. B +ve guys....my blood group. Your manager is your inspiration. Be your manager's manager. Work hard, believe in yourself, reflect energy and most important face your manager. Talk to him as if you are heading to manage such people in near future. If you follow me i am sure you can win. This is what i learned from that extraordinary personality. In Short , we should learn right from the CRADLE till we complete time of life."

Benedictions.
