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.

The Camera Story...

   Visiting new places also comes with the requirement of capturing photographs with some good camera, not necessarily with digital SLR but at least with digital camera of few mega pixels and considerable optical zoom.  I have a digital camera of 8 mega pixels and 3X optical zoom. I bought that in 2006 when I was in Japan. I was satisfied with the quality of the images I captured with it and I had no intention of replacing it in near future. During my stay in USA my friend suggested me to buy new camera but I ignored his suggestion, I was firm on my decision. But one day we were coming back from office, my friend casually said "At least you can take a look at wide variety of cameras and many other things". I nodded, there was no harm in spending some time in that giant electronic store. We parked the car and entered the store. The store was obviously huge with a wide variety of various electronic items. My friend took me to camera section, there were plenty of cameras of ...

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: III

 It was late in the night according to local time when our flight landed on Narita airport. We were standing in the queue for immigration. "We are almost 2 hours late", my friend muttered. I saw in wall clock it was showing 11:30. "Now at least two hours to reach the apartment at Rokugoudote", I said to myself, a distance of approximately 65 kilo-meters. I was worried about the mode of transport, I was totally unaware of the fact that the taxi which was supposed to pick up us from Narita airport was already gone. Immigration officer demanded my passport and invitation letter then he looked at me and called his colleague, discussed something with him. His colleague then asked me whether anybody is accompanying me, after I pointed my finger to my friend both of us were told to wait in some waiting room. He did not ask us any single question or not even explanation for something. We were sitting there for almost half an hour like a statue, I was so tired that I was not...
