Dismal state..

The singur land controversy seems to be stretching a bit too long…every rational person in the state knows how desperately the state needs industrialization ... Still so much of controversy!!! That too with the TATA’s known for their best CSR practices!!! And all this because of the political ambitions of the Mamta Banerjee!
Strange, that the chief minister is helpless at this point after making a promise to Ratan Tata of being on his side for the plant. Poor Mr. chief Minister was told by his own party inmates to keep mum on the issue and not push too much to get TATA’s in. Actually it’s not the first case of this kind. Similar was the situation of Somnath Chatterji who had different opinions on the Nuclear Deal and was asked to quit the party if he didn’t take partys’ side. Yet similar was Manmohan Singh’s situation when he tried to calm down Ambani brothers fighting and spoiling the Indian Corporate brand image. Our dear prime minister was asked to keep shut. Actually it’s a very common phenomenon. Any person trying to do some good in the interest of the masses is discouraged and condemned for going against the wishes of the party.
I wonder , does democracy really work for a country like India, where more than half the people are illiterate. When such large number of people who form the citizenry, are the back bone of the democratic system, political parties have a very easy way out. Its their appeasing power that matters. This again is no big deal for the parties ruling in states like west Bengal, where such large numbers people are innocent farmers. How can staying in power be a problem at all!! Look at Mr Jyoti Basu, former chief minister with the longest ever tenure in any state in the country…obviously credit goes to his popularity in the state. And then look what he did for Bengal. The state was at a dismal condition until Mr Buddhdeb Bhatacharjee came to power brought some development to the state. And after doing so much he has lost his popularity. Will he again get a tenure as the next chief minister!!! For all his goodwill….it seems really doubtfull!!!
Once I met a foreigner while travelling in a train, who seemed to be a bit dismayed about the way things worked in India. He said India needs a dictator who has all the power, and it is the only way to make India a developed country in the real terms. At that point of I thought how idiotic was the idea. But somehow my thoughts have changed on this. Perhaps only dictator who is not just a good person but also a true strategist is what our country needs.

An example of Imposed greatness !!!

this is Mr. nehru..i wnt cal him chacha as i thnk tht real stories r nvr told to people nd poor indians alwys hv a deep sense to respect d rich...knowingly or unknowingly. this may hv a deep psychological reasons...may be all poor want to be rich so they cant completely criticise the acts of rich...whtevr!!!

thr r people like sardar patel...i ws readin a story abt him tht he went to study law in europe nd covered miles of distance on foot...

nd tht ws nehru...

I think tht at times people are so sycophant tht they impose greatness on individuals, though the pesson may nt be demanding it. Same happened in case of Nehru. I hv seen, heard nd read people talkin abt his quotes…like a tryst with destiny…nd these r so famous as if god himself has declared it. No doubt he ws a grt orator…studied in Cambridge nd developed d skill of makin beautiful nd impressive statements. He conceptualized IITs…kudos to him bt only 4 or 5…nd in such a big country only 5-6 IITs…nd media hs alwys talkd abt only ths if no othr engg college in india hs evr produced eminent scientists. I am sayin so tht becoz of this megalomania of Indian media (IITs IIMs etc.), many students comin frm rural india aspire to join only these institutes and sometimes end up reachin nowhr. I ll tel u abt a frnd frm Jamshedpur whom I met in delhi whn we joined a top coachin isn’t. to crack IIT. He ws vry sharp nd ws so ambitious to get into IIT, tht he even didn’t apply to any othr engg college. Unfortunately he cudnt clear IIT nd ltr joined TATA Steel aftr 12^th st., spoiled his life. His parents nvr knew tht any good engg coll can give u a good break…media talkd abt only IITs, a potential guy comin frm rural india suffrd.

Nehru himself studied in top inst, bt nvr did enough for the expandin Indian population. Nd thr r books talkin abt his sinful acts…bt ths r banned in india. No infrastructure, no education, if u can speak good eng…u r a hero in dis country…all IIMs…r callin u.

Nehru enjoyd his life to d fullest, in d company of ladies. I doubt if he hd time to thnk abt the burin indis nd its masses. Gandhi gave a blind eye to his acts…sardar suffered, india suffers till date. Kashmir is one…salary diff b/w central govt nd state govt jobs…I ask if same job, why a diff in salary.

I ws readin a book by R M lala…on JRD , a man whom I admire and respect so much !!!

JRD says tht when I want to talk Nehru abt industril development and hw can It help Indian masses to raise thr livin stsndard…he often start lookin out of d window, ignorin me.

Can we identify real leaders…let us think.

Mumbai Local

Govandi to Mumbai Central...3 locals and diffrnt experiences. people behave diffrnly and i see a pattern in their behaviour. i (u knw newspapers hv started using a small i and not a capital i, as if men hs become egoless...thr r innovative efforts made and tht is fine) was just talking to a friend. Evry local station hs a characterstic...like chractr of a man. it is decided by the no of people boardin in nd off the train...a normal human bein gets some unexpected insipiration as soon as he/she (they r equally aggressive as sme of my female frnds hv told me abt these power women to push thr competetor) changes his/her relative motion of a specific station.

if it is kurla or dadar...all pessengers ll behave in d same way, irrespective of d time of d day...in a hurry, pushin d person nxt to u nd shoutin if babari demolition is goin to happen...nd to my surprise many r smilin nd r excited durin d activity. we r a great civilization...nd many foriegners get envious to us for such small reasons.

govt. has failed to provide d very much needed pub transport in d city...why dont lalu prasad nd his family travl in mumbai local...bt tht day local (specially only to serve d minister) ll look very much diifernt. dont u knw d story of d makin of udaipur airport just because praful patel daughtr got married thr...anyways timevll chnge nd i wish we ll hv a better system in transport nd in electin our leaders.
