99 run-out V/s 80 batt(l)ing!


                                                   99 run-out V/s 80 batt(l)ing!

Funny: The Guj(rat) race has ended

Punny: Win or lose, don’t write-off ‘RaGa’, screamed Swaminathan S Anklesaria in his column in The Times Of India

F: Absolutely, from ‘Pappu-to-Pidi’, RaGa seems to have come of age, going 'ga-ga' over 'RaGa'

P: What with enormous ‘development’ in his tweets to counter speeches bordering on hate and acrimony

F: Laced with ample dose of ‘dinner diplomacy’ with (alleged) border and neighbourhood

P:Recklessly raking up (imaginary) issues oblivious to real ones

F: Regardless of how tough the road ahead is, the ‘HAJ-yatris’ shouldn’t give up

P: You mean to avert ‘democracy’ being at the mercy of ‘NaMocracy’

F:Surrounded by all the ‘hypocrisy’ of being singularly ‘sick’ular

P: It’s a hard battle, need more than an army of young turks like Hardiks to halt ‘NaMo’torcade which is going at a break-neck speed

F: You mean breaking the back of a section of men in the ‘middle’

P: ‘Ache din’ seems to be ages in coming

The fierce ‘Republic’,  ‘time now’ and again going for the ‘con’gress’s jugular, ‘RaGa’ and Co have their task cut out with only the men in ‘New Delhi’ backing them!

The hunger to serve the hunger

Two school children didn’t think twice to dip into their pocket money and donated their entire savings to fight the Corona virus. From tiny tots to individuals, associations, entrepreneurs to organizations, corporate houses to celebrities from sports and arts, the enthusiasm to do their bit in tackling this pandemic is something to cheer about. Reports of such spontaneous charity and generosity are proof of humanity and compassion amidst distress, offering a ray of hope to people who are otherwise resigned to a reign of hatred, violence, corruption and degeneration of values in the system. The spirit of humanity shown by NGOs, the societies, the groups of individuals, the salaried, software engineers and countless such people who are better placed having the resources, in coming to the aid of the migrant workers, the jobless and the poor and the needy by setting up make-shift tents, food and offering a caring net represent a picture of wrapping their arm around these unorganized s...

Thus far and no further

 The nature continues to send signals and we continue to not read them. The nature continues to warn us and we continue to ignore it. Every such occasion was a life lesson we ought to have learnt. We are paying a heavy price for our irrational defiance and abuse of nature by not heeding to the universally acknowledged philosophical message, ‘thus far and no further’. In Mahabharatha, Krishna warned Shishupala that he would be forgiven for one hundred sins. Shishupala arrogantly did not heed it and continued to commit outlandish acts. When he was about to commit his 101st sin, Krishna was forced to use his Sudarshan Chakra to slit Shishupala’s throat.  The craving for golden deer by Seetha in Ramayan caused untold miseries and Duryodhana’s hunger for power in Mahabharath resulted in conflict, confrontation and destruction. These are prime examples of greed. As a corollary, shouldn’t we follow a path of social harmony, peaceful co-existence to avoid the wrath of nature’s fu...

Classless Society V\s Ram Rajya!

On one extreme is the current ruling party at the centre aiming for a cashless society straining every sinew at its command in that direction. Digit by digit, it is prompting us to go digital which they claim is the way to ‘ache din’ – a metaphorical ‘Ramarajya’. On the other extreme is another ideology hoping to see the dawn of a classless society. It has ‘left’ no stone unturned with its committed workforce in its attempt to achieve it. Ours is a democracy. The ‘left’ party is trying to achieve ‘classless’ society in a democratic way. The ‘right’ wingers are alleged – not without reason – to be treading a ‘dictatorial’ path to attain ‘Ramarajya’. Recognize the irony? Each party is charging the other of ‘mass massacre’ – of principles, that is. The ‘left’ claims that the ‘right’ has no right to be in the government with their faulty policies. The ‘right’, with a wry smile, retorts that the people have ‘left’ the ‘left’ high and dry, citing their fall not just here but elsew...
