Live-in - the paradigm shift

 Paradigm Shift

Sleeping and residing with a girl without marrying her was the 'Call of the Wild' some 20 years before, but its 'Pride sans prejudice' now, as the world is now experimenting with the live-in relationships with more repercussions than godliness reported from the world over. So, was the betting 2-3 years ago, but ECB has taken the bold and pioneering step of legalizing it. Sodomy(read homo-sexuality) has been legalized in few countries, and lots more countries are to follow suit very soon. We were told to look after our old parents, but there would not have been the old-age homes. There are a lots more in this account to talk about . But, until we will come out from the catechisms of the religions,-or the set standards of it- we will see these conflicts in our mind as a heresy or a sin or a deviation from the set standards. Time is changing, and so our conceptions. And its time now to change to suit the present-and forget the past, for someone has rightly said-" only Change is Eternal". So, let's legitimize the activities which are causing blizzards in our minds. And be thankful to the 'God' for giving the opportunity to live and dwell on the only planet in the Solar system known to support lives(and of-course its vicissitudes).

Deity's codicil

Days ahead when seems to be blissful

And happiness and content seem to be brim and full

Almighty has some other designs, days full with lull

We are on earth due to his will and remain still

With the joys and agony He has bestowed in his codicil.

Please stop Mr Kejriwal

Your resume speaks volume of your abilities. You studied at IIT, gave nothing to the field of engineering. You joined Tata Steel, but remained adamant to working in Steel Melting Shop and finally got yourself transferred to horticulture--bizarre. You became and IRS officer, but remained on study leave most of the time. 

You gave India Right to information-excellent. Your involvement in the crusade against corruption gave new hope to the hoi polloi, but your own party threw Mr Ramdoss(the party Lokpal) like a fly in the milk, and AAP party still is in need of a Lokpal. Anna Hazare has moved into oblivion, and the Bhushan duo have been relegated. Mr Yogendra Yadav-the astute politician-has been sidelined too.

Now as the chief minister of Delhi(sic) you have ample time and public money at your discretion to spend inappropriately. As you have no portfolio, you must have been having abundant time to involve yourself in the activities like- self advertisement, discussions, scuffle with LG and PM etc. Now your party has started getting Rs 100 per month as donation. Can't you read the writing on the wall?-- you being an astute technocrat-cum-social activist-cum-crusader-cum-chief minister-cum-crier.

Please stop misusing the public money in your government coffers to advertise yourself and your party. In 550 crores you may have given New Delhi the WiFi promise you have given during elections; or, the CCTV promise may have been fulfilled. But you will not involve yourself in development activities, as crying is the activity which soots you and people like you. Stop playing victim-victim, or, victimize Delhi people for voting a nomad, please do something substantial. The deposit of public faith in you is fading very fast, and you are frittering the initial gains even faster. 

LaMo wades as Media weds Opposition

Last fortnight saw a great hullabaloo in Indian media, and a sincere effort to dislodge the general perceptions about the Indian PM Mr NaMo and his governing style. The Indian media and the opposition were shouting in the same pitch. Thanks to the other Modi--the man who spun Indian Cricket into a money vending(read laundering) machine by introducing Football type Cricket league in India--and his twittery.

Before the "Lalitgate" went viral in Indian media; the opposition-and also the Indian media- was desperately searching for an issue, or a substantial evidence to tear apart the NaMo and his government. In "Lalitgate" both-the media and the opposition-has found solace. But it is imperative to discuss as to why?

The paid news, under the aegis of vested interests of the previous governments in the Indian Media, were doing the rounds for a long time; and although it has waned a bit, it has not been wiped out totally. Namo government has stopped the practices of its predecessor, and this is the main cause of Indian media's desperation. Their TRP's are falling, and so falling are their turnover. So, apart from starting "chaotic discussions"-the palaver- in the prime time; they are resorting to 'less news and more ad breaks theory. They are not letting any stone unturned in trying to malign the government on petty issues. After all, it is the issue of their survival in the very competitive e-news market. The best way to deal with these incessantly fluttering, chirping, and weird fourth pillar of democracy will be to demarcate the freedom and regulation line more clearly and effectively by implementing the "Media Regulation Bill". And media can reinvent itself also by starting telecast of Engineering, Science, Economics, Political Science et al. classes. In this way they can attract new viewers to their channels, and raise their TRP and revenue as well.

The opposition, after their wipe out from political map of India in the NaMo wave, are searching very badly for an issue--to give them relevance and rejuvenate, unite and enthuse their depressed flock in current political scenario--to fare well in the coming assembly elections in the states, going to the hustings this year or the coming year; and hence the rhetoric. Some parties are collaborating inauspiciously and suspiciously; someone is going on a self-searching tours; few have forgotten the basic emblem on which they were formed; and the remaining are left to chorus the aforesaid parties on each and every issue. And they are duly assisted in their cause by few ministers and leaders of the current government, with their unacceptable behavior or blabs-embarrassing the government now and then. They should be tamed before they do substantial damage to the image and prospects of the current government. The situation for the opposition is ludicrous and utterly pitiful at the same time. They should better reinvent themselves by going 'gung ho' with the issues which are a major concern for Indian society as well as economy for a long time. But, they will go the easy way-blab, blab, and blab. And the Indian masses love these blabs.

Coming back on Lalit Modi, is it easy to understand his desperation. He wants to get back to India; be a force to reckon with; earn exponentially; and get back the respect he once had. If he is using twitter  to make flutter in Indian politics, his modus operandi is clearer than crystal. Spill the bins. Those badly in need of an issue will respond and grab them willingly. If he is tarnishing the image of few ministers of the ruling party, certainly he is working on oppositions designs. After all he rose to fame and importance during their tenure, and became a Mogul under the aegis of few corrupt and highly ambitious politicians of the previous regime. Who gave him a freehand in running, maneuvering, managing(sic) and designing the data-sheets  as well as the rules of the most popular game in India?

However, it is up to the masses to read between the lines of these flutters and tweets judiciously; and better devote their time caravaning, or, doing their constructive/productive work in taking India forward, than watching/reading these chaotic discussions; and let the government deliver on its promises. It has taken few bold steps, and it needs our support to boost its morale in delivering on other fronts at a brisk pace.

Meanwhile, the Delhi government, which was in a dearth of funds to give salaries to its employees not very long ago, has started to show its lucullan mindset by segregating 526 Cr for the advertisement of its 'Maverick", from the government coffers. Its image-of common man party-and messiah of probity and transparency is waning very fast. After all, the ephemeral rise happens with a fear of falling flat more rapidly than the rise; and the AAP government will prove that. It is the Delhites who stand to lose.

The Time

It takes time to understand someone. Although the personal traits can only be conditioned; it remains treasured within--in the core,like a vault. Few times people may misconstrue you. Don't worry! the Time will attest time and again of your innate qualities. So, giving time to Time will heal everything; because Time is a great healer. Its the ordeal in between, that haunts and pains.
