History repeats itself!!!

When I was glancing through today’s newspaper, the article that caught my immediate attention was Mr.Manmohan’s vow for a stronger Lokpal. I guess this is the nth time I m hearing Government’s co-operation in this. This govt has been advocating corruption and scams of various forms for time immemorial. The recent ones being 2G spectrum, Commonwealth games , Black money stashing at Swiss Banks , Adarsh et all and dates back to Bofors arms deal ( mystery still prevails ), antique biz , Fodder scam and the list continues.Sigh!!!!

Indian Politics has been plagued with ever spreading corruption deterring its growth in the most effective way which none of us can imagine. We are known for our forbearance and we continue to tolerate the humbugs governing us from the National capital. This government is widely perceived as the most corrupt in the history of independent India. And this opaque, corrupt, and driven by greed government was startled on April 5, 2011 by a 72 year old utopian Anna Hazare and the whole country was behind him supporting his crusade against the corruption. People from all walks of life staged protests for implementing the Jan Lokpal Bill and the aftermath was the setting up of a Lokpal drafting committee with govt. representatives who never had an iota of confidence on the effectiveness of Lokpal. I personally feel this committee never took Anna and his request seriously and made a mockery out of him and the bill instead of reaching consensus with Team Anna.

And the climax was reached on 16th Aug, 2011 when Anna and team was arrested before going on a hunger strike for a more stronger anti-corruption bill in New Delhi. The government showed its tyrannical and despotic facet. Is India the largest democratic nation in the world?? Aren’t we denied of our fundamental right to dissent and protest peacefully? The consequence of this arrest has put Congress on its thinking heels. It is time for the government to understand that it is the people’s rage and discontentment that has geared so much attention to this campaign against corruption failing which it has to pay a dear price!!

Isn’t history repeating itself after 64 years????

First Dancing Lesson!!!

 I put on my dancing shoes today in the last 15 yrs !!!Phewww... that's a long timeeeee indeed and I m feeling elated...It involved a great deal of effort from me to gear up and face this challenge... And I must thank my roomy Prat for pulling me into this... Without her this would not have been possible. Thanks Prat!!!! :) :)

Initially, I was apprehensive about my dancing skills and never gave it a try. But trust me it was an exhilarating experience. Though our dancing talent needs to be fine tuned, we were thrilled to shake our legs to some of the latest Bollywood peppy numbers like Sheila ki jawani , Munni Badnam hui, Rang de basanti etc. We just kicked up our heels out at the dancing studio.


We were out of sync, out of breath and missed our beats. But all that mattered the most was we danced after 3 months of planning it out.I m glad we made it for dancing was the top most contender in my inhibitions list.

So what's next??? Well we have decided to join the classes :)


PS: No worries....Classified  Performance... Only for 511 housemates.. :)

Back After a Hiatus!!!

After a long hitch... here I m blogging once again... Been almost 2 years ... Hmmm quite a long time since I visited my blog . So here I am solemnly promising myself to pour down my thoughts more often than my previous track records :)

Honestly I was caught up in the mirage of the so called Masters, exams, submissions, work, pressure et all. And it took me some time to comprehend that illusions go down with its creator. Changes play a pivotal part in this cycle of snaring and liberating us from the clutches of these delusions.

Changes bring us an assorted package  of exulting gladness and jolting despondencies in the most unexpected way -the best way to know ourselves. All one has to do is try to follow what your heart says for it is the ultimate beacon of light. I have loathed changes from the bottom of my heart as it plagues me with anxiety and insecurity. But now I feel they are our teachers who help us to rediscover ourselves when we tend to drown in a quagmire of illusions.

Let’s play it on!! :)
