Jasmine! at our doors

The  impact of Jasmine revolution, which took the Arab countries by storm, is at our doors. From last few months we were just mute spectators of the events which occurred in our country. The series of scandals, right from Common wealth games to the 2G spectrum, shook everybody but we were just merely watching these events or just discussing  among friend circles that we should teach a lesson to these politicians who have ruined our beloved nation. But unfortunately, it has been just a topic for hot discussions or may be entertainment channel in our free time or during the  morning walks. The reason for that is simple, we  found ourselves so helpless and weak to fight with this, to oppose the system created by the politicians and for the politicians, no wonder, after some time we started adjusting ourselves with this system. We have seen the behavior of MPs or MLAs in the Parliament or in assemblies when it comes to the some crucial issue  related to the people and we have also seen the unity of all these members when it comes to the passing their salary hike bills. We were really happy when we saw Dr. Manmohan Singh becoming Prime Minister, we were relieved when the person like him was the head of Indian Government but we forgot we also wanted a strong Prime Minister who will act and will not became a mute spectator of the unfortunate events occurred, just like us. I haven’t seen few lacks rupees at a time in my life but thanks to our politicians, at least I can imagine anyone can have corers of rupees at a time  if he becomes politician.
     I appreciate and support Mr. Anna Hazare, not just because he is targeting the politicians but he is trying to prove that corruption is bad thing and you cannot occupy the seat if you are corrupt. Many allegations have made so far, that he is trying to encash the popularity, he is targeting the politicians for his self interest or why he is targeting specific politicians etc.
   Is Mr. Hazare has declared to form new political party, so that he will encash the popularity for the elections or to create so called ‘vote bank’? What kind of self interest Mr. Hazare is trying to seek? How can you say that “doing corruption is not a self interest” and “fighting against it, is a self interest”? Can those who have made these allegations answer this? If you check the past record of Mr. Hazare, he has fought against almost every political party, he has not gained anything for himself from his past struggles.
   We should support Mr. Hazare for our struggle, notable personalities like Amir Khan, Kiran Bedi,  Ramdeo Baba and Swami Agnivesh are also supporting him. We have seen the crowded streets of Egypt, Libya and Tunisia and I am sure we must have been thinking why this  cannot happen in our country. Now Mr. Anna Hazare has taken initiative then just don’t be a mute spectator, do not lose this  opportunity, participate in this struggle for our Nation.

Exploring Pondicherry-III

We were sitting on the beautiful beach of Pondicherry at night, I was thinking about my future and it was difficult for me to even think that I will have to choose something other than my dream of flying high for my bread and butter. I had come to Pondicherry in search of solution and what I came to know was my problem doesn’t have any solution. I did not talk to Rushikesh for a long time. Then finally he got up and went to Cyber café. I was alone in my thoughts and suddenly somebody patted on my shoulder, I looked back, it was Rajashree standing with one other lady. “So you are still lost in the sadness, we were going for a dinner and I saw you from the street”, Said Rajashree. She introduced other lady with me. Her name was Aruna, of medium height, fair and smart. “So do you like Pondicherry?”  asked Aruna. “Yes, off course and today we have hired bicycles to see the Pondicherry and nearby places.” I answered. “Good so where are you going tomorrow?” Aruna asked me with curiosity,...

My days in Japan : II

 On our journey to Mumbai international airport we found out that my and one of my colleague who initially missed our van had a ticket of same airline but the guy who boarded the van at the end was having a ticket of different airline. He became nervous as he was going to travel entire journey from Mumbai to Tokyo all alone and for the first time.     We reached Mumbai international airport six in the evening. After getting inside we immediately checked in our luggage to avoid extra burden. I sat on a bench, thinking of how to spend time. I wondered, for a last whole week, I was in need of some spare time for relaxation and I could not afford it but now I was having a plenty of time to spend and I was getting bored I was not feeling like to take a rest.    Three of us were wearing suit, neck tie, in a perfect formal attire, I was feeling like we are part of some high profile delegation and are visiting Japan to attend some important co...

My days in Japan: IV

   One of my room partner woke me up in a few minutes and told me to get ready. I resisted in sharp voice, "do you go to the office at 4 in the morning"?. "No", my friend replied. "Please have a look at your wrist watch, if at all it is set according to Japan Standard Time". I looked into my watch, it was 7:15 in the morning, so I was sleeping for whole four hours and I was feeling like I had just reached the apartment few minutes ago from my journey all the way from Mumbai. Still in a voice of protest I said, "but its just 4 hours I was sleeping, don't you think it is unfair, especially when somebody is exhausted by a journey of  16 hours". My friend smiled and replied,"It is a Japan my friend, sleeping more than 4-5 hours is considered as a sin here, you have already completed your quota, now don't waste time and get ready quickly". Two of my friends were going to drop me at the Shibuya station on the Yamanote line and one o...
