opposition

Taking positions is a norm in the world.A pole position or otherwise, in terms of views , a race, a statement or what ever.

In Indian politics however they are a bunch of muddled self centered, low IQ,selfish blokes who just know how to create OPPOSITION.Instead of taking a position, sticking  to it and offering concrete solutions,they end up on the streets, burning the public's money.The PM states " Money doesn't grow on trees"......we all know that Mr.MMS.Nothing new, because if it grew no one could have cared a damn for the diesel petrol price hike , or interest rates.India would  have been a far eco-friendly country with money plants all over and Jairam Ramesh a happy man.The moot point Mr.MMS is that " where is all that money that we payed as taxes'??????We slogged to get that!

Did you stash it away?Did you  send the MP's and Ministers on foreign merry making jaunts?Did you under the pretext of giving minority and reservations priorities go and squander the money without utilizing it properly?Why are you evading the root cause ?what happened in 1991 is history!!!If you knew all this why were you a dummy so  long?One must give you a strong lesson in image consulting and body language first before you face the nation.The opposition is also a bunch of goons who are running here and there with zero agenda and no solution in sight.The sad part being the nation is  being torn to bits,the industry likes it because they manipulate the share markets and swing it at will and make  their millions.It doesn't bother them if the investors really make money or not.What a game!!!We actually run on the momentum we have gathered and are in a rudderless airplane with no airport to land.

God save this place................

W--Syndrome

What does an individual do in a life time?Struggle!!Why? Dilema.......what to do and what not to do?What is right and what is wrong?Where to go and where not to go?Why and why not?which and which not ?So in short so many "w's" that lead to the big 'W" worry!!!!!

When we start worrying we come to a point where we don't know why we are worrying?If we don't worry what would happen?Honestly , if we do dwell upon this thought for even one complete minute , we will know how much of precious time we waste(again starts with W).We wish (W)for x,y,zee and then worry what if the wish doesn;t come true?If it does, we say what if it comes true?We are such a muddled lot ,aren't we?
What is the point in getting caught in the web( again W) and wondering( again W) what hit us???
 
Don't whine, whimper ,weep, or waver.Don't keep wanting always.If its your's , you will get it. Never be a victim in life.

So the W's that make life a better place to live are:

Work-With your heart and soul full of passion what ever you do ,small or big.

Will--Have the will to power the initiative you take so much so that it becomes a source of inexhaustible energy/driving force .

Wake up to new ideas and keep being creative rather than doing the run of the mill kind of work that one does every day.

walk the talk---Do what you believe in and demonstrate by the actions on the floor, in your day to day life.

war heads---Use the right ammunition to create the right spaces you need and do sniper shooting to get more bang for the buck.

Watch --- and be alert, be aware and act.Don't react.Life needs smart people and not those who do the "HARD" work only.We need "SMART'work.Use the watch to check your time as it doesn't come back.Your time is now and so be it.Your time , is your time.

Wave---be the wave in the ocean that can move and create a tidal wave of giant proportions that can be harnessed for energy creation and not destruction.Be the wave of change.Change is constant.

Way---be the guiding light and way for all others and lead them from the front.Create new avenues and places where people fear to tread.

Lets hope this makes sense  for  many and add  value if any.

life post

One should never look back  in life.Keep moving ahead.Its true . I sense, however, if we share a few learnings with everyone and in turn learn a few more as we go along , it would be useful to the present generation in making their life possibly a bit simpler and livelier.

Here are a few tips to ponder.Keep them or discard them , choice is yours.You have one life and many choices.But choose,wisely and don't squander it.

Life is short -----enjoy every moment.

when in doubt, just take the next small step.

Pay your credit card bills every month.

Save for your retirement from your first paycheck.No one tells you that.

Don't compare your life with others.You have no idea what their journey is all about.

If a relationship is secret, you should't be in it.

Get rid of things that are not useful.They become a drag and excess baggage slows you down.

Be eccentric.Don't wait to wear purple till you grow old.

Don't take yourself so seriously.No one else does.

Don't audit life.Just show up and make the most of it.

Your children get one childhood.Let them experience it to the utmost.

envy is a waste of time.Accept what you have and not what you need.

Life is a gift , even if its not wrapped in a bow.

The faster we share , the more we get.Don't wait till 90 years to share this.You never know what surprises life has in store for you.

Try to remain detached from sentiments and emotions.They bring you down hard.Its difficult , but try to practise, life becomes a bit simpler.

modi watch

Mr.Modi, our CM of Gujarat and his dynamism need not be penned down as all of us are aware of what he is and how capable he can be when it comes to driving the growth engine.I don't belong to any political party but certainly admire this gentleman and the phenomenal tech savvy nature and presence of mind.

However it seems in the run up to the elections, the opposition seems to be getting the better of him and the media as well all set to push him into a corner. Its good not to react or give an outburst,but  to give impressions that are not MODI like is a little odd.Sachin is  getting bowled due to age, lack of form , extra achievement burden etc etc and so it seems Mr.Modi following the same footsteps.Taking things for granted or sticking on a pitch thinking you can go on for ever without corrections is wrong.

I am so confident that Mr.Modi will come out with flying colours ,but he will have to work smart and hard to really turn it around and its gonna require enormous efforts.RSS, Nitish, Congress, BJP fallouts, and many more critics are just waiting in the wings for that one fatal move.They know nobody can take Modi's place and I pray that we don't have another Congress Govt messing up Gujarat as well.A quick delivery by a bowler that knocks the bails off or send your stumps rattling happens in split seconds.The preparations require years to face such situations.Mr.Modi you have tons of that.

Mr.Modi...........don't let down your guard.You need solid strong , intelligent backup as well.Please mentor and coach people under you who could eventually take on your mantle rather than a bunch of goons spoiling it for petty gains.Thebright  future is in your hands or else there will be an eclipse..

sense and sensibilities

We wait for the rains and keep cribbing if it doesn't arrive as it increases the humidity and sends the temperatures soaring at times.And when they come they wash out these thought and gives a smile on everyones face.The economy is suppose to boom, the farmers happy for their crops,inflation may come down,etc etc.But the not so sensible Indians as we are most of us,suddenly seem to be in grip of frenzy.PARANOIA in capital spreads like wild fire and people start scampering home and run as if the world is on fire or a pack of Hyenas are out to get them.The way they throw caution to the winds and make a dash on 2,3 and 4 wheels is simply sickening.

I saw this again in Baroda yesterday where a downpour for an hour plus created havoc , jamming all roads for over 3 hours.Why?Sheer indiscipline, hurry, and impatience .The pedestrians struggle to wade through the streets and the senseless car fellas simply splash water all over them and drive across, oblivious of the fact that they messed up some pedestrians trying to make their way through the muck.The 2 wheelers, climb all over you and the footpaths as well are not left alone till they brush against a few cars and care a damn about it as they know they can skirt away before the guy in the car  even realises it and has no  space tostep out in the downpour.The most atrocious part being breaking all the so called traffic rules and entering any gap they see visible thus blocking every possible route instead of allowing a few vehicles at a time to pass so that the traffic atleast moves.The FM stations blare and keep stating the rains are so welcome and every car is trying to get home and its so beautiful out there.Wish the RJ could be doing the same in the OB van in the midst of the mess and then call it "beautiful".

The Municipal corporation and traffic wardens sensing this create more chaos by just diverting the traffic with no signages as to where one should go if the situation is choco block at the place where you intend to go.The VMC opens upthe manholes and should you dare to  take the vehicle from  the extreme sides you might end up in the sewer and come out in the river or the Arabian Sea who knows. When will good common sense dawn upon us?For years we do the same.Teach our children what to do and what not and yet practice this when it comes to us!!5 kms and 3 hours of enormous wastage of fuel and precious time of thousands of people.Hornky tonk and decibels are at the maximum again.God save this country.
