Anna....Anna Everywhere

The events over the last few days have been really extraordinary in the history of Democratic India. 74 year old  Anna has become the new Hero of the youth brigade....
a. Main Anna Hoon...
b. Anna tum sangharsh karo, hum tumhare saath hain....
rent the air of towns and cities across the country.....It shows how a single man can galvanise the masses across the country and galvanise he did...but how?Well the issue of corruption struck a chord across the masses and instantly from a poor daily wage earner to a crorepati was drawn to the movement....but the govt has to blame itself as well for bringing things to such a passe..for successive govts delay has been the best friend to weaken movements....it has taken 42 years for our MPs and still they talk of building consensus on the Lokpal....but they shud know that the  consensus is already with them....all of them are united against taking any step which will jeopardise there own business...
But all credit goes to Anna for making the movement a nationwide one....he did not err in dealing with the cunning Netas who have shown what they are capable of during Ramdev Baba's campaign...i guess Anna's long experience in dealing with MH governments and GOI has held him in good stead.....
Well the first battle has been won...but the war is still to be fought...after all we are dealing with a govt that has shown the capability of derailing similar movements and put in every effort to do so this time around as well...after all no MP wants to be accountable to someone else..they have never been accountable since independence....now other important steps need to be taken to further this movement towards a true democracy...we need the right to reject during elections, the right to recall the elected representatives midway...Indian democracy on the move...yippee

The Facebook Effect

I have to take a snap with this pose.... take a single snap of mine so that i can post i on facebook...just imagine others comments when i post this pic on facebook....THE FACEBOOK....What kind of organism is that?...It has become the single biggest shaper of our thinking....people take snaps so that they can post it on facebook....and relish the comments posted by friends on the same....the number of likes that one receives is an indicator of the number of people following...the number of people who like or dislike him/her....people are on facebook all the time....keep checking the wall for any new post...comments...sumthing always ticking at the back of the mind while u are at work or play....keep following who is  in relationship with whom....play games with your friends on facebook.....invite ur friends for events on facebook....share videos with others.....give ur personal reviews about movies, places through ur status msg......a whole world resides in facebook...and u know what is happening in the outside world thru facebook....
People who have got addicted to facebook behave the same way as a fish takes to water...well we are living life on THE FACEBOOK.

India is back in form

Today India did what they are best at doing...they have come back to their old ways...of losing on the trot....this reminds me of the indian team of the 90s....how often we would see indian teams on foreign trips losing shamelessly...but still our love for them just grew...over time they have attained God-like status.....but now it's time for us to stop over-indulging our players....they shud nt take the indian public for granted...while they amass their riches due to the public...they shud also remember that public memory is very fickle..u are only as gud as ur last series......Dhoni is going a former captain's way....he is in the team for his captaincy....one fails to remember when was the last time he scored a 50 in a test match...now that he has lost his golden touch may be it's time for him to make way for someone else...besides today indian players are so busy playing games other than cricket  as in TV.....amidst all this gloom and doom..we still have a few things to cheer about...our god Sachin is still around and so is 'The Great Wall of India-Dravid' while the Very Very Stylish Laxman still has his elegance and style left to serve the nation for a few more years...One wonders what will happen of this team when these 3 doyens of indian cricket are gone...no youngster has shown the gumption to raise his hand and say i am up for the job.....hopefully Viru will be in England soon and alongwith Gauti will turn around the fortunes of this team....
