A Phoenix rising from the Ashes. A new ray of Hope for the common man!! "The Jan Lokpal Bill"

A letter to Team Anna and everyone who was part of this historic event (whether the person was for or against it)!!

First of all Heartiest Congratulations to Team Anna and the efforts of thousands and thousands of fellow Indians (in India and abroad) who dedicated themselves to this revolution and brought the govt to its knees.

Now,

To all my dear pessimists, ignorant ppl and the critics of Jan Lokpal bill..

Not getting into complexities of the draft, I just want to convey a very simple message.We already have several agencies over every govt. dept. for keeping a check on corruption. Seldom do they work!

Even if the new Jan Lokpal bill doesnt work in future, one more incompetent agency will be added to the list of infinite number of such anti-corruption agencies.

BUT BUT BUT, if this agency worked fine or even managed to create a sense of check, or be able to generate fear in minds of our dear politicians and bureaucrats, the whole purpose of Anna's fight would be solved. He cannot fight the battle alone. All he wanted was a start, beginning of a change, a platform to improve things from where they are right now!!

From now on the onus lies on us (every Indian citizen). How we all, at the grass-root level start our fight against corruption. Take a strong stand against anything and everything which resembles corruption.

This historic turn of events has definitely laid the foundation of a new era for India. Lets hope that the bill and the committee to be formed later, works efficiently atleast for a few years and we might see a new India emerging from Ashes of corrupt past :) :)

Hail Team Anna!!

From,

A Fellow Indian

Indian frog in China Land!!

How can life be so different, distances separate people and their behaviour.

Mumbai can be beaten hands down by any city, never thought of it. But when I decided to confabulate with some videshi mortals, life is like...Where am I?

I am talking about a perfect example of how we think that we have seen everything in life and then we are taken out of the well, and to realize that there is so much space to wander and so many things to wonder..

Hong-Kong, I would say is an eye-opener for me. Strength of this place is its infra. "Concrete Jungle"..So beautiful.. The roads that appear to be seemless, Skies always trying to touch the scrappers.

Best part is the people out here, they follow rules and at 4 o clock in night/morning, when signal is red you can cross the road without even thinking to look on left and right. Till date (3 days in this city), I have not seen a single policeman, then who the hell keeps everything in such order.

Can this culture ever be adopted by Indians (hard to think). This place is migrants place, 23% ethnic HK people, rest all are of varied creeds and places.

The worst part is that the staple food here is DUCK, yes.. HK is hell for Veggies..I skipped Non-veg 8 months back but HK forced me to it. Although my work doesnt allow me to roam around on weekdays and weekends both but I feel, when you are at such a place where everything is so well planned and is working you dont have to other about anyother thing.

HK is the place where one should come for a week (MAXX)..

Signing off @ 6:30 in morning (didnt sleep yet). Have my office at 9 again.

Ciao everyone. HK chronicles coming in next edition. ;)

Keep watching this space for more!!

Hi to all !!

Being part of the Indian Well and rambling around for long to find how the world appears to MORTALS -- the enabled one's , I decided to take a plung here..

Sorry if i splashed any water on some one ..

KINDLY ADJUST -- "India's Supreme strength for centuries"


HOW??

Having rendezvous with MUGHALS some 400 years back we imbibed their traditions, their culture their people which later became part and participle of INDIA ..
" THE ARYANS .. "

Then came BRITONS ..
Saying we are here to trade, we adjusted to such an extent that they ruled us for almost 2 centuries ..
Not because we dint have great rulers but bcoz we dint have the Unity (which they exploited .. "DIVIDE n RULE"), the strength to gather all Indians under one roof ..
Although Mughals did it for some time (AKBAR) but their efforts dint last long ..

Finally INDIA fought back and became INDEPENDENT..

So here we are today, free to do anything legitimate defined under constitution..

Will tell you some of my really really weird and mind boggling experiences with this "KINDLY ADJUST" feeling of a comman Indian in later posts..

My rendezvous with the life and spice of Indians and their culture, their tradition and every other aspect about their mundane activities that seems so simple but when acted upon is an uphill task..


Diverting from the HISTORY class I want to throw some light about the game Indian's worship..

" CRICKET "

Since the WC fever has just passed out, leaving pretty sour memories. Loosing to Bangladesh...

Lets take an example of a player from " THE MEN IN BLUE.. "

SEHWAG aka VEERU aka PRINCE OF NAJAFGARH aka watever u want to call him..

His plight being his hair .. Can't believe .. I too cudn't ..
Untill I found this ....

Just recollect that in his debut few years back, he had frizzy hair flowing here and there ..

At that moment .. RUNS were like his pets .. There was a time he was being compared to MASTER BLASTER(Sachin) .....
But once in team, everything changed gradually !!

He began loosing the crop he nurtured for years and RUNS also finally gave away in his last matches we saw ..

For WC(World Cup) he shaved , and hence the worst appeared ..

Disaster , "INDIA OUSTED FROM WC"

Am not blaming him for the debacle .. It was just a matter of HAIR..

So I do personally feel that Veeru has to work on his hair than his game to gain what he lost in last 3 months

..(FAITH of a BILLION) ...
