The Accounted Life - 1. The first strike - (i)

2nd August 2016, Karur Bus Terminus, Karur, Tamizh Nadu.

Vaibhav was sitting on the seat, window side and slowly gazed the sorrounding. Being a local holiday the bus terminus was quite crowded amidst being a hot noon. The State Transport time keepers were standing in the bus way signalling the bus drivers to start appropriately. The bus conductors were yelling out the routes constantly, tempting the passengers to get in the bus even though the bus was already at twice of its capacity. Dogs and puppies were delighted as they had so much of delicacies awaiting to be discovered in the half eaten biscuit packets that were being thrown.

It was a busy day, but for Vaibhav it was peace. It was the most calm day according to him. It was the day when he decided to think about his life, still clueless of what to be done ahead.

Took out his headphones and played music. Ilayaraja's then classic "Ilayanila" was the first song.

He Smiled and history replayed in his mind.

The High School days, 10th Public results were out and a serious discussion including few arguments and some fights and then a decision was made.

Vaibhav managed to get 81% in his 10th. He faired poorly in Science. A biology lover, but was pathetic at Physics and Chemistry. He hated Physics, merely because he didn't find it interesting. He found 1PM afternoon shows in DD National more interesting than Physics, which were telecasted in Hindi, a language which he only knew the spelling of it, that too in English.

He wanted to do Chartered Accountancy. At that time it was what Engineering was to Science. Therefore enrolled himself for the Commerce group.

Indian Media - The undisciplined child

Even though Journalism in Print Media was a powerful tool during the independence movement in India, the current day journalism in modern day evolved Media practically appears like a bully who has been made the head of a classroom.

The Modern day media has lost its relevance among the countrymen as it is quite clear even to a layman that "It is all about Money."

The entire fourth pillar were offended when the fraternity of Indian Media were coined as Presstitutes by Shri.V.K.Singh. But have they proved him wrong?

The Indian Media has the attention of an entire country, that too a highly populous one. It is more of a responsibility rather than an advantage to the media houses to have an impact or influence.

Cauvery Tension was spurring a lot of hatred between the neighboring states Tamilnadu and Karnataka. It was at this time that the entire mainstream media went for the breaking news and Flash news of how a Kannadiga origin hotel Windows being damaged at Chennai and how private buses were burnt at Bangalore terminus.

A more logical response would have been displaying the content which would indirectly calm the minds of the people and portray peace.

At the end of the day, a politician and an actor does things merely for money. They don't really mean them.

Until the people realise that sanity is something than can be easily tampered with just by fueling some panic buttered with hatred, we all are mere guinea pigs who have no idea of why we do things.

We don't understand and respond. We are blindly chased in a maze for which we don't know the way to.

Gone were the days Indian media upheld the immense level of ethics in Journalism.  The errors followed by apologies in print and visual media have become a sight common than cows in streets

Being the fourth pillar requires a great sense of responsibility, a corrupt media is almost as equivalent as having a fourth leg that is infected. It may not kill us. But it opens us and makes us vulnerable to all forms of Danger.

Its high time that the people should decide what they should believe in. As the internet revolution has brought so much of accessibility to a simple common man in verifying his facts about a news before reacting to it.

The fall of media will be the first step in losing our hard fought independence again. It is our first but the greatest line of defence in protecting our democracy.

Let us not merely notice but also see clearly before believing.

ACT OF GOD

Forgiving, the legendary art of act of letting go other people's actions which had affected your mind. Being considered as a quality of the almighty himself a person is compared to him when he shows his willingness to forgive.


However there is a gamble. The more forgiving you are the more easier you will appear to people.
For example, in life you come across certain characters whose intention is just to make you miserable or to impact you for the prime reason of their Joy or satisfaction of ego. But the question that arises here, Do they actually deserve forgiveness? Does refusal to forgive those person lead to a sin?
At the end of the day we still can become LIKE gods but not actually the gods.


So forgiveness should be to those who deserve it and to those who earn it just like loyalty, respect and love.

Death of Democracy - Have we realised it too soon after 10 years?

"I shall neither be a slave nor a master, that is democracy to me" said one the finest leader Abraham Lincoln. Democracy which basically means people's rule, is known to be India's highlighting feature in the world arena. Being the world's largest democracy, India should live by action by upholding the values and principles of the People's rule.
Unfortunately that is not the case these last 10 years went by did they? The Elected representatives, so called MPs, or rather i prefer to call them Honorable men in Marc Anthony's sarcasm, a minister of Caesar, who stood for the people, stole from the people and stomped the people. Yet India is the largest democracy and those people are honorable men.
These honorable men create scams and wish not to talk about them in the People's House, however they prefer to sleep or be absent or worst case even watch pleasure in the house. Of course they are honorable men and they do service for our country.
These honorable men require Air india flights to even attend nature's call, Air india was the first Airline of india started by the Tatas and look where it is today. Selling its boeing dreamliners to other Airlines. Most pathetic scenario was NSGs were given incapable aircraft to Counter terrorism during 26/11.
 Coalgate was a word when pronounced sounds exactly to a toothpaste brand and now its a name of the biggest blunder in world's largest democracy.
Commonwealth became Personal wealth. Indian Olympic association was suspended. Indian kabbadi champions were asked to come by bus.
MMS Ji spoke about Rahulji and Soniaji but never spoke about 2G. The longest sentences he spoke in his consciousness and with freedom were, "Enough is Enough" and "The buck stops here". MMSji, we the people also feel the same, Enough is Enough.
Of course the buck did stop at your desk in 2G didn't it?. I mean there is no higher position than your table.
Government started making HQ advertisements and advertised as Nirmans in private channels. Is this why we are paying our money through, Service tax, Excise Duty, Customs duty?
India's own daughters were brutalised and yet we are still compromising on Security. But wait, You empowered women. For what... to be thrown like garbage? You brought in RTI and till date Wikipedia shows that it was by Arvind Kejriwal, and i believe a NON PROFIT ORGANISATION like Wikipedia rather than a PROFIT MAKING GOVERNMENT.
You divide a state in the House of Democracy in an unparliamentary fashion in front of the portraits of MG Gandhi, Sardar vallabhai patel and other Prominent leaders who fought, unified and created the World largest Democracy and this is where we stand today. Even IPL scams and booking had a proper and organised method of functioning.

Democracy did not die on 18th february 2014. It died when People misused their power to elect 545 Honorable men to rule the SO CALLED Largest Democracy.

RIP INDIA RIP

Revolution T20. A dream or dream come true?

Abdul Kalam thought about it. So did the mass of Youth India. But with the way things are currently going in the political scenario, a serious question has risen in my mind. Is Revolution T20 really possible for the world's largest democracy. For a Country which was under slavery right from Mughal, British, Post independent Depression, Emergency rules, Religion issues, The Corruption Era, yet still is resourceful enough to compete with leading economies and Superpowers in this world. We Indians do dream big. Really big. We want to prove. But do we? This is a time which the proud Indians, fellow brothers and sisters should think of a movement. A movement which will again change the Phase and face of this nation but to really become one the countries where foreigner envy to live. Lets not initially get into a Macro level. Let start with the micro picture. What do you think in your power which will actually help this country develop? Kindly post in your comment below.
