Headless Chickens come home to roost

There is so much furore over seemingly innocuous statement by one very enlightened diplomat about a certain category of species called" Headless Chicken". A country which was already in the crossfire of debate over something as quirky as 123 Agreement and Fernandes ’s One Bullet in the Head Theory , it opened a new vista of productive and argumentative debate in our Parliament finally culminating in its agitated members entering the well of the House forcing it for another adjournment. We all were clueless in this 60the Year of our Maturing democracy, whether our political class will have even semblance of consensus in any of the issues, least can they do what they are paid for : debate, discuss, argue, listen and sometimes pass some legislation for the Aam Admi. Before we could reach to any conclusion about this “Headless Chicken “riddle, members across the fault lines of partisan politics decided overwhelmingly against the suggestion of No Work No Pay Rule for themselves. Can you call them “HEADLESS CHEICKEN” now? Even the most leftist of trade union could not have pulled off such a bargain from a most supportive communist government in West Bengal or Kerala ?
Finally , we all know who are the headless chickens all these years listening to Powers that be and believing that Tomorrow will dawn a new India as promised by our leaders.

15 August, 2007

Its again 15 August, a annual ritual to remember Nehrujee dream of TRYST WITH DESTINY. From few days , radio and tv channels have already given me enough dose of partiotic songs so i was also ready in front of TV religiously to listen to our PM's address from the ramparts of Red Fort. A rite of passage, every indian goes through on 15 August every year to have a feel of the what's in offering for them . One leading Newspaper had troubling cover story on Nation's enetering into Menapause on its 60th anniversary of Independence Day this morning .. in between PM has started his speech on taking India to its rightful position on global order. A 5000 old country celebrating its 60th birthday wid so many achievemenst to cherish.. largest and most aspiratnt youth population, pot pourri of all the religions on earth , soft power of science, technology and education , a stable democracy in one of the most unstable geopolitical region ... ... But on flipside, the promises of eradicating hunger, providance of minimum health care and universal education , sustainence of agriculture, women empowerment and secure life without riots, violence and descrimination are far from coming true. Are 60 years enough time to ask our political masters what happened to those promises or we need to keep patient and wait for few more years and few more speeches from pur PMs to reiterate those promises- i was wondering as PM was concluding his speech.
I was not sure as our PM was...
Suddenly there was huge uproar of "HAI HIND" from those thousands of children listening to PM . Their smiling and excited faces had the promise to belief on India's marching ahead on its TRYST WITH DESTINY... .. As those colourfull baoons dotted the skyline of Delhi, those cheerful children of India waving , greeting and singing the National Anthem had given me the Answer to the question trobling me since morning ... Nation is on roll as long as we have got those smiles on those young faces ....

I too have to say...

Let the disgruntled opposition shout from the rooftops and paranoid journos and intelligentsia rub the psyche of common men wrong way from their editorial tables and newsrooms, Aren’t we in the safe hands of some of the greatest leaders of India’s living History? For the first time in India’s full blossom Panja (Not Lotus) Democracy, we neither have power centers at 7, Race Course Road nor 10, Janpath : it has slowly trickled down to a comrade by the name of Prakash Karat. A self styled Leftist who is always right about everything, be it his whims of having a ‘Political’ President and ‘Non Political ‘ Vice President or his fancies of dangers of MNCs swamping the retail trade in India or need of Industrial Revolution in West Bengal by grabbing the lands of proletariats and farmers. There is Tsunami of such dichotomies unleashed by him and his Secular, Pre poor , Anti Imperialistic , Minority sensitive alliance assaulting every other ‘Reason’ from the other side of table. He can find fault with anything with equal authority, ask A PJ Abdul Kalam, Shivraj Patil or even his own comrade Somnath Chatterjee , they would vouch for this from their own experiences.

With big ‘No’ for all the major reforms from this Big Boss, our clean, modest, honest and self effacing PM does not have any thing to do but receiving feelers from party and partners. To the benefit of ‘We, the people of India’, the failed Glasgow Terrorist plots have brought the other side of his humble persona- He can shed tears or two for the plight of Indians (read Minority or more specifically Muslims), implicated for the first time in some global terror act. Before his tears could flood the shores of Down Under, our ‘Man’ was freed by the Australian Judicial System, a tad too early by standards of Indian Legal System. Poor PM! He lost his life time chance of showing his tears, if there are some droplets still left in his oasis of tears, he can show them for thousands of people languishing in the Indian Jails waiting for their fate to be decided by the Indian Legal system.

This saga cannot be completed without the mention of another Leader of Masses, our adorable Rail Minister has already taken the Harvard, MIT and IIM for joy ride with his success stories, this is going to become a things of past with his latest escapade. He is on the verge of getting his name written in the Ripley’s Believe it or Not by forcibly landing his Helicopter on a busy National Highway in Bihar. Very soon, Helicopters will jostle for the space with buffaloes, cows and carts in the potholed roads of Bihar. What else would make India shinning than this spectacle! Who knows India can get its first elusive Oscar by making a film called “ Land it like Lalu”…

There are other equally capable leaders working overtime to make India a Developed country as soon as possible without waiting for 2020. We all know, Soniajee continues to pick up the ‘Dreams’ of ‘Rajeevjee” and making them come true, be it Women Empowerment by making Pratibha Tai President or Youth Upliftment by bringing Rahul to don the mantle of Congress …

As long as we have leaders like them, We can have sound sleep at nights… that’s rest assured

MY Experiment with Truth ....

How should i tell you that some one has tiptoed into my life and has swerved its course beyond my faintest imaginations. Let me pick me the pieces for you all as they are still fresh and reverbating down my memory lane.. It was my first evening at Sangli. I was standing alone at the marketplace with people sloshing around me , completely ignorant of my presence as if it was also waning with shadow vanishing into thin air. I could see only Sun setting behind the dark clouds at receding horizons beyond the expanses of Western Ghats. All of s sudden , it started drizzling and i could hear only the rustling of moist leaves of that single Banyan tree , glistening with the faint lights coming from the azar door of Big Bazar. I just ran into the the shop and it was one of those innummerable " Love at first sights" as i was watching her lo and behold , het sporting brightly besides the stacks of Livons, Garniers and Enamours. That was just one flicker of the split second when my eyeballs glanced through her sleek and curvaceous bodyline to fineset details. Whether it was fitness of the setting or her oozing spark , but i knew that my long search has come to an end with this serendipitious beauty. You may take wth tons of salts but let me confess that she is steamy, meaty, swish , hot and finally " mine" .
Two intimate days have passed with her , now i could understand why girls grin with their lips pouted closest to their "ones" as if trying to send the warmth of their breath also into it. i no longer wonder why my imbecile looking friends dance to the "tunes" of their " ones" , holding them close to their heart. I am no longer ignorant to the "stuff".
My first week ends with " her" are coming closer and i know the " sensuous catch " has coem with cost . She would dig deep int my pockets to stay in " tune". Quite a bargain but no regrets as i am hooked to her .
Hey! Don't let your horses of imaginations run amuck , i am still "Availabale Bachelor". She is just my one and only one mobile set and you can also contact het at 09421218820.
Till then , let me "charge" her for whole night for that "Date". GOOD NIGHT AND SWEET DREAMS............
