Anna


A man wakes up early morning, walks towards the big hall to see somebody holding for him with his choice of drink. Next one more person hands him his choice of morning news paper and Television is turned on with just a small jester of eyes or hands. He finishes his reading and goes to bath room to get ready, once he is out from the bath room, all his clothes to wear are ready, break fast is ready on the table , somebody is standing with the tablets to take.
By the time he completes his breakfast there are already few guests/people waiting for him with there questions, solutions and advice. He talk with them and go out with his luxury modeled SUV which has all the facilities in it. He travels to the party office or to the government ministry office.
There too he finds people and more people just waiting for his approval for certain things.
It could be laying roads in one corner of the city or could be providing water supply to a village. His approval and only his would make things move forward else everything will be at stand still. This person will have servants after servants to hold something , to carry something.To take him somewhere and many more.Mere gesture will make people come running behind him. 

This blog will not have an end if i keep listing all the things which people do to this person during the course of the day.He fears nobody, he is never short of anything, he get everything and anything at any time.He hates failure and will never ever like defeat or challenges posed by somebody at the lower level. He fights with very few competitors who enjoys similar life style. He is leading this kind of life style from birth of could be from very young age.

Guess what ? who is this person. He is our Indian Politician or a Indian bureaucrat. They are leading the life like kings. They literally control 100 million people’s lives.

Imagine if this person is challenged in public what could go through him. He will not at all tolerate this and would nail that person to ground in seconds. But this did not happen to our Social activist Ann Hazare. why did you think, this is because of people’s support and from more people support. Had he not got this over whelming support from people he would have seen his life end by fasting.
Timing of Ann Hazare was so right that he got the people support and also the media coverage.He and his team could learn from Baba Ramdev’s mistake and have a counter strategy against that. Government officials were at back foot and running out of ideas. They tried all they could do but finally had to compromise without giving away much ground.

Anna Hazare knows he has not yet got it yet.And he is ensuring that he is keeping up the pressure on the government till the final goal is achieved. I wish Anna good luck for the good cause he has taken up.

India needs Revolution.

Have you ever renovated your house while staying in it. Believe me it is a mess. In early 90s, my father was did a small renovation of our house and we stayed in the house while extending a part of kitchen, bathroom and dining hall. I was not comfortable during those 30 days of renovation. There was no privacy coz, workers were every where doing the job. The entire place was full of dust. The small tiny particles of sand and cement were there in all the places. My mom used to clean the house all day long to keep it clean. Once the renovation completed, there was sense of relief and I particularly was happy because of no dust. I am telling you this story because this exactly fits the current Indian system. Be it the Nair Radia tapes, Telecom Scandal, common wealth scandal,political parties, etc. By seeing India from a distance, as i am currently outside India, i feel India is still in process of renovation, there is corruption every where. Everybody know all political parties and bure...

Happy New Year

I wish all my blog readers a very Happy New Year, Let the year 2007 bring in all the success and happiness to you all. This year I felt the New Year celebration in Bangalore was more colorful and I could see more people on streets compared to last year. I received many SMS, with messages saying that the network will be jammed on 31st December. But in fact our service providers were all set for more traffic for 31st December. They could manage it. I guess Airtel, BSNL, HTUCH, Spice, Reliance, TATA & other mobile/Telephone service providers made good money on this New Year occasion. It is estimated around 1 Billion rupees!!!. This reminds me the Hutchison-Essar deal; it is estimated to be around 17 to 18 billion dollars. So if you make right calculations, 10 such New Year occasions will make the company go past break even and make more profits.

Nostalgic about food.

Have you ever experienced in your life a certain addiction to a particular food with particular flavor and taste.No matter you eat that food any where in the world you will never ever get satisfied and you constantly miss that taste.And sometime you regret that you could not eat as often as you could, simply because we could not afford it. It was way back in late eighties when i used to live in beautiful Bangalore. Unlike today Bangalore was so peace full and a calm place my brother and me used to ride a bicycle and go to a mobile shop(i.e a small shop on wheels) and eat "Masala poori" and "Pani poori" which used to cost us just Rs 1.50 a plate, together we both would spend utmost 6 rupees. we used to go some where around 7:30 and 8 PM in the night relish the great stuff.  I agree it was not the most hygienic food. After seeing the way food is prepared and eaten across the world i don...
