Indian Elections 2009

By

A great circus that is the Indian Elections are coming to a close.  In fact, IMO, this is the beginning of it.  The hypocrites like Congress, SP, Left etc who seem to change positions like the weather in San francisco are licking their chops trying to prevent BJP from forming the new gocvernment.  These folks are only interested in grabbing power and have the least interest in the country that has given them so much.  The only thing they do is throw bit and pieces of crumbs to people when election times are near.  After that they will promise moon, stars and everything else they can think of.  Good thing God cannot be seen because otherwise they would even trade him for power.


I will readily admit that I am a BJP supporter, but you must also know that Congress' thurst and arrogance for power has turned me off from them.  I hate dynasties and do not believe that in a great country like India, votes should begged for on a single surname - Gandhi.  I think Gandhiji's soul must be itching to get away from this politics and must be thinking why did I even work so hard to get freedom for India.


Tomorrow is one of the mots important days in Indian Politics.  India cannot afford an unstable govt. or a govt with Left in it.  No more power without responsibility.  People also need to tell the political parties  and realize that getting crumbs thrown at them will not easily translate into votes.  They need to show to the citizens that have actually been working fo the country, for the people before that can taste power.


I am hoping for a NDA govt inspite of it also having limitations and corrupt politicans.  I feel people erred in bringing back Congress in 2004.

Abhinav takes his first wicket

By
Last weekend, more precisely on Sunday October 14th, Abhinav took his first wicket ever.  He got some boy out leg before wicket.  I have heard the story about a million times about how he ran up real fast and how the batsman try to pull his ball and how the ball hit his back leg and the coach declared him out. It was pure joy and innocence on the face of Abhinav that I saw, something I wish I still retained.  Sometimes, I feel this is what sports are all about or rather should be.  His tiny 6 year old friends told him that they will inform everyone in their school bus that Abhinav took his 1st wicket.  I know many say that you should teach your kids to win at any cost, to make them winners.  I tend to disagree. I have always believed that means to an end are more important than the end itself.  I try to inculcate the same in Abhinav.  Play the sport the right way and respect all the players even when they may not be as good at the sport as yo...

What beautiful weather!!!

By
It has been blustry and damp since last night.  While coming back from work, we had rain all the way home on Airport Road.  At night, winds started howling and I love the sound of winds blowing through the small crevices in the closed windows.  The wind was and is cold even this morning.  My son finally ordered me to put some socks on for him, something he has not worn in close to 6 months. My son had his second day in nursery at Vibgyor School in Marathahalli yesterday.  The school decided to split kids in his playschool class between 7 sections of nursery.  So, now all the friends of my son are split up.  He hated his 1st day of school.  However, for the second day, a friend of his from our apartment complex got admitted into his section.  I thought that would make a difference!  No way!!  Both were crying incessantly.  It was like triveni sangam of Ganga-Jamuna-Saraswati in full flow from the eyes of the two.  Luckily, an old teacher of DS saw him crying and took him to the class.  ...

My kid's notes

By
Just like any father, I feel proud when my 5 year old son does something that makes you go "damn...how does he get these ideas?". Recently, he wrote about our trip to my hometown of Porbandar in his daily notebook that he has to ready in school. He had gone to see Peacocks and saw a lot of them. Here is what he wrote about it and then drew a picture. Looking at the picture, the peacock on the right is standing with his feet firmly planted on the ground. However, the peacock on the left has bent his legs and is getting ready for take off. I was zapped since I didn't expect such thinking from him.
