Chalta hai na!

In my-mid forties, conventionally a good time to start retirement, fate presented me with two choices a voluntary retirement in my own country or a fresh start in a new country.   With reluctance and deep apprehension at some corner of my heart & unbridled excitement at another, we took a leap of faith. As we landed in the new country and started our life here, amongst the visible stark differences, I noticed efficiency replaced warmth at a DNA level in this country.

Baba Ramdev has left no stone unturned in building an image of a non negotiating crusader ready to jump the gallows for fellow suffering citizen. Media coverage of his intent is ensured thru controversial interviews and public appearance with the original crusader – Anan Hazare..Subliminal planned agenda to erase Anna Hazare’s memory from public mind??One doesn’t know. In last two years apart from the news of India winning World cup and lonesome news of Sania Nehwal winning medals one hardly recalls any other positive news. Last two years needless to say have been the scams year. The common man’s mind space has been dominated by commonwealth scam, IPL scam, 2Gscam etc..In this chaotic and corrupt scenario the Draft Lokpal bill-in its intent, content and design, potentially can be the most balancing, powerful and game changing governing body/committee to be formed. The draft lokpal bill from its scope, execution ...
