Politics- The Prime Entertainment

Politics never seemed as entertaining as it is today. When i were a kid, entertainment to me meant cartoons, video games, music and sometimes the circus. To my parents, it would have been movies, picnics, family functions and social gatherings and activities. But as far as i can remember, politics was never as entertaining, and as enthralling as it is today. And the reason i personally believe to be explicitly true is that earlier, politicians did there job, there duty in fact. Maybe a bit of it, but they did it. Today, entering politics brings less of social and moral liability and more of a celebrity status with it.  I grew up listening to the GUT BASED LEADERSHIP examples of the iconic Indira Gandhi. I grew up seeing Lalu Prasad Yadav giving enormous profits to the nation from Indian Railways during his tenure as Railways minister. It further went as a case study in IIM's. Today, kids are more aware and participate in India's future and it's happening...

Mr. AEDES AEGYPTI is here!!

It is 6 in the evening and i just unfolded my shirt sleeves. No, i am not expecting any dignitary this moment. What i am expecting is an AEDES AEGYPTI. Because Mr. Aedes has been quite random and unpredictable to the people of Delhi. Mr. Aedes gets out for an evening fly and has it's evening snack on some human's body biting and sucking some blood, contaminating it further. And that person is left with decreasing blood platelets, adding a score to the Dengue headcount.  As i write this, i hear of a Dengue victim's father inquiring about persons with similar blood group on phone because blood banks are not trading any. They are instead short on any of the blood groups. So coming back to what i were saying, i just unfolded my shirt sleeves as a precaution because i do not wish to be the evening snack of the AEGYPTI species. I might sound a bit retro and a bit old for my age friends, but cover yourself up. For it is not just the Indian males who like the skin...

The Purple Cow In The Rat Race

This is our world. A world that functions on norms, systems, logic, history and examples. This is a world where Innovation executed, is hard to find. For every one is scared to explore, discover, invent or to be The Purple Cow. It's a world that changes with every breath we take. The ones who innovate in there respective fields are the ones who have high chances of making it to the top. Everybody and i mean everybody works and does their job but not everyone creates. There's a quote that i recall now :-   "do more than just your duty. It's the horse with the neck ahead that wins the race.".  If there had to be a choice between Work smart and Work hard, Work hard would always be at the top. Today, one needs to work hard and work more than assigned in a different manner to beat the competition. Today too, in this era of continuous awareness and advancement people are scared to dive into new horizons and explore them. If that could be overlook...

The Truth Of Documentaries

Over the years documentary viewership has increased manifold in India and abroad. It has gathered it's audience trying to tell the truths untold and revealing the secrets of the greatest mysteries of the world. If you happen to be a regular and curious audience to the documentaries that come out, i am sure you would be aware of the Loose Change series. The Loose Change Series questions and reveals the conspiracy of 9/11 attacks and claims it as a False Flag Operation. Religulous is another american documentary that examines various religions spread world wide. It questions the existence of God and probably mocks at it. The movie actually runs on scientific principles and seeks solid reasoning and logic behind the G.O.D concept. Another amazing documentary which i recall is "Zeitgeist". Zeitgeist too questions the 9/11 attacks and further claims that both, media and bankers control the international monetary system. Also, it talks of (NWO) the New World ...

If You Cannot Unrape the Rape, Then Rape the RAPE

No matter what words of praise every woman had heard of in her context. Today, the same woman hears the word "RAPE" from her friends often. So often, that if she was a sample to a research of most heard word, "RAPE" would rank numero uno. She is haunted by a new rape story every day happening so close to her that it scares her, if it might happen to her too.When the Delhi Bus Gang Rape happened and the news broke out, i thought and termed Delhi, India's rape capital. But hey, looks like the feeling of brotherhood is genuine. Other states took off the burden from Delhi's guilt laden shoulders. Mumbai, Chennai, Bihar, Assam, Punjab ~ name it and you have a rape story or a gang rape story attached to it. Let's have a precise look at the Global Rape statistics. The UN report 2012 on Rape which talks of rape statistics globally states that an estimate of 300,000 women are raped every year in United Sates Of America. It says that Botswana ( htt...

Saint Crucified Tonight!! Is he really a Saint or the World is Right ?

As i write this, i simultaneously see the news channels showing the same old story revolving round the same person. Surprisingly, it happens to be the one about a spiritual guru followed not by tens and thousands, but by millions and hundreds of millions. Asaram Bapu, at 72 is accused of a crime which the Indian ears are used to hear of. It pretty much shows in there callous reactions towards the news. Ironically, he "enlightens" his followers to overcome the same temptations which he has fallen prey to. I certainly have no interest in playing Word War, describing what he has done. What i am looking at is his sheer power. The man, as told in the news is sitting over a Rupees 125,000 crore empire backed by countless followers and there never ending follower-ship and devotion. The man certainly has an applaud worthy influential power that shouts when we look at his followers sticking with him despite the allegations made. The Police officer refuses to file an F.I...

Long Lost Love

If you are wondering i am going to talk about your Ex Girlfriends/Boyfriends, one night stands, casual sex, your first love; then my friend i certainly may disappoint you. I am here to remind you of your long lost love. One thing which you love doing. For which you were known among your friends. They probably found you talented because of that specific hobby of yours. You could be writing, singing, playing an instrument; a piano or a guitar. It could be anything that brought you joy. But the day you stepped out of your college, you were made to run the race of life. You got employed, married, had a family and served them like a diamond rough was being cut and polished to shine one fine day.But in this race of becoming what you wanted to be, you forgot your likes and dislikes. The diamond (YOU) is today spotless and white; probably the finest but lacks something. It lacks the fire, the sparkle, the glitter. I am doing nothing more than requesting you to ignite that f...
