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...

Metro Rail in Bangalore

By
I am not sure about others but I for one am excited about the Bangalore Metro being thrown open to public in next few months. I just read in the newspaper yesterday that they have been testing the track with brand spanking new metro coach (hot pink in colour). I have not had an opportunity to look at the interiors personally but the newspaper photos have shown that it has a lot of standing space along with some seating spaces as well. With the traffic on Bangalore roads increasing, no amount of road widening is going to help. In fact, it is sad to see so many trees being cut down for measly widening on the road. I would rather they improve the already decent public transport further and increase the taxes on cars and bikes so much that it becomes harder to buy cars. Public transport anyday is better than the gaz guzzling vehicles we have on the road. And I am not a greenpeace activist. I like good cars but looking at the Bangalore traffic, I feel it is not worth even driving in...

Natwar Singh's involvement in Oil for Food Programme

By
So, Natwar Singh has ruled out resigning from his post of Foreign Minster of India, according to this report in the Hindustan Times. He said, not for a moment the thought of resignation crossed his mind ever since the controversy broke a week ago and claimed that he enjoyed the full confidence of both Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. "I am told that I am doing a good job so do you expect me to go to the Prime Minister and say that since I am doing a good job I am putting in my papers," he said. This would mean that the PM Manmohan Singh and Super-PM Sonia Gandhi are putting India in an embarrasing position in front of the world. India is a major part of UN and by talking about lodging a case against UN is preposterous, to say the least. Both Natwar and the Congress government should resign as they all have been alleged to have been involved in this scam. You cannot rule a country with such low morals and ethics. Anyways, UPA government, ...
