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 happenings. That to me, is a good thing to happen. But the examples that come forward to these kids are depressing. Today there are jokes circulating about politics and politicians via e-mails, messengers , social networking sites and multimedia messages. I am not blaming any of these communications channel for circulating these jokes. Who i blame are the politicians themselves. Damn Straight!

The hate speeches by Akbaruddin Owaisi and Varun Gandhi have 873,773 and 208,021 views as of now on YouTube respectively. The speech addressed by Mr. Narendra Modi in Japanese Park, Rohini, Delhi has got 78,663 views. The Barack H Obama's inauguration speech when he became the president of United States Of America has 1,103,642 views. Then i see videos of different news channels holding debates on sensitive issues with an intention to come to a conclusion and a solution for the welfare of the society. The amazing part is that in these so called "Debates", the main issue is forgotten and soon we end up seeing representatives of different political parties shouting in hovered baritones defending there stands. If that was not enough, these politicians get into dirt wars dirtying each other's political parties. 

I am absolutely just of the fact that it is good, the youth is aware and alert towards the political dynamism of the nation. I am just not happy with the examples the citizen of this nation is being presented with. To add, the examples the world is being presented with. 

If being a politician brings along a celebrity status, then it does also bring along a set of responsibilities, duties, social and moral liabilities towards the nation. Nobody minds your celebrity status. But that celebrity status should not come at the cost of the welfare of the society, The Nation!

Present some good examples of leadership. Give us some good Entertainment. 

Real Good Entertainment!

Farewell MANMOHAN, MODI Executed

Hi everyone! Almost a month, i scribbled something on this template to communicate and reach out to you through my views. Quite frankly, a lot has been happening on the family front. There's this lady designated (now) as my fiance, soon to be my wife who takes away my time. And she rightfully deserves that. So, bless us with all your good wishes.  But here, i am not to talk of my personal life. I had and have been reading a lot about the declining stature and reputation of Indian National Congress and the steeping heights Bhartiya Janta Party has achieved through these elections. The BJP has won the battle and now we have MR. Narendra Modi as Prime Minister of this great nation called INDIA. But, amid-st all this " halla hoo " of Election 2014, many people have been unfairly positioned and misinterpreted. And the greatest of all of them being affected, Mr. Manmohan Singh, former Prime Minister of INDIA for consecutive 10 years i.e 2004- 2014. Mr. Manmohan Si...

Yeh Bharat Desh Hai Mera (c)

The Thought Good Morning every one. On this day, the 26 of January of 2013, I put forward a poem, a compilation of thoughts about my country India. The poem is called "Yeh Bharat Desh Hai Mera". It is an attempt to bring out both the positives and negatives, this nation has to offer. This is India, a secular country to be called, but still puzzled in communal differences and riots from the times i fail to remember. This is India, where the Poor is taken care of. Where the poor or the poverty struck does not need to care about his meals of the day, for this land is never short on food for charity. This is India, where Politics is a mud-play, where the commons don't matter to the political parties. What matters is there holding within the country. This is India, where riots arise on the stupid reasons of being a Temple built or a Mosque on a piece of land. I refer to the Babri Masjid case. This is India, which was considered a third world country by the glo...

Happy Women's Day

The Thought To all the women of the world, accept this poem for all what you do for (let's admit) the men. Men are great and good but incomplete. And yes, somewhere irresponsible. So i'll not bring much to the embarrassment of my brothers round the globe and straight shot say, "Lady who the one? I say YOU the one!" Accept this poem as a token of love and respect.  A big bow to the woman of today To the thorns of forbearance laid her way To the composure, she holds within her self To the closure , that absorbs everything in itself To the mother, that woke up to get you sleeping To the mother, seeing you sad was she weeping To the beloved, who would fight the world for you To the beloved, for her happiness entirely is you To the sister, who in secret prays for you To the sister, her lips have praise for you To the granny, for you're the apple of her eye To the granny, for she's the "buri nazar" spy ...

The ANTI-Social Media

I just tweeted a few days back " I have always been a little late than others! When people tweeted, i facebook' ed . Today when i am tweeting, i wonder what's next genre? " And i seriously think i am late and lag behind in the race of the virtual world. Furthermore to console and motivate myself, i keep calling myself a bit " Retro " or a bit " Vintage ". I strongly think that Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and many other virtual worlds have encouraged, influenced the participation of  "Mango People" in important matters. The participation and the say of a common man has increased manifold. In fact, it has further broadened the horizons of human understanding about different forms of Art and Cultures. The social media has been a great aide in bringing recognition to this labyrinth of talent scattered all over the world. Politics is a clear example of how social media educates and involves people connected from all over. O...

शुभ दीपावली ~ SHUBH DEEPAWALI

 शुभ दीपावली  Here's wishing you a very Happy DIWALI in advance today. This is one of the times when every city looks beautiful as anything. It does not matter if you witness this scene while you are on one of the streets of any city or you are in a plane flying over the skies of any city or you are in a train crossing the distances from one city to another amid st some villages too. It has to be a visual treat. From small houses to big mansions to corporate towers creating the skyline lit up so beautifully, they surely make up for a visual treat . It's like being invited to the visual Feast of the Almighty himself. All that is good but there's one thing that's not good post Diwali. While we enjoy Diwali with our family and friends by burning crackers, there is a Cumulative Diwali Syndrome being build up in the air which would act very soon on every one, once Diwali is over. We, the people, birds and animals are the ones who suffer from this la...
