a mockery of democracy

Democracy is the name
and India enjoys this "false"fame.

Proud we are citizens of the largest democracy
which as well provides space for hugely - celebrated mediocrity.

We have an elected government
which lacks in real management.

Each election we are promised
that previous promises would be fulfilled
but we know these promised - promises under power could be whipped.

Once again we get back to our daily routine
with collapsed expectations
we wait for liberation
liberation from this corrupt power 
liberation from the guilt
guilt not of selecting wrong mind
guilt of not understanding our own mind.

Each session our hopes rise up in the air
only to remind ourselves
that we are the birds of the ground
only the mighty with corrupt mind and power
have the right to spread their wings in the air.

Oh you are government ,our thee our mighty lord
but lies in our hand your chord
You cut the corrupt - cake
and we shall cut the chord
to set up between us
the accountable- chord.

My sister i am there for you

Today on 16th of December 2012 i hereby declare that  no i am not declaring that world is going to end , i am declaring that i no more would like to feel proud that i am an INDIAN WOMAN. Infact i am now afraid that someday some random person belonging to the opposite gender would come and rob me off my very own RIGHT TO LIVE AND ENJOY MY "WOMANHOOD". Don't think that i am making a false claim. I am being truthful. The incident which took place on the above mentioned date in Delhi and dont think that i forgot to place the prefix " the capital of India". i have dropped this title INTENTIONALLY because it is no more the capital of India , instead it has become the RAPE AND CRIME CAPITAL OF INDIA". This year 2012 cannot be called as a great year for anyone . I don't believe in religious or similar calendars.When i say it was not a great year , i mean that India witnessed three major incidents of deteriorating condition of the indian women  - the first wa...

the notion of 'normalcy'.........

Just like other days , I left from my office at the time I usually do. The ten minutes walk from my office to the Central Sectretariat metro station's gate number one is usually the time when I talk to myself, if alone and ponder over the evening spent among senior and intellectual print journalists. As I reach the metro station and pass through the security check with a smile on my face and a touch of celerity in my body language, my eyes start looking for people having tired, weired, happy, angry and other possible expressions being carried as a tote from the day's events. Sometimes I see young couples giving a caress smile as they part ways for their separate metro lines and telling each other through their eyes and smiles"shall meet you tomorrow , pakka" , whereas students having their board exams round the corner are busy solving sums provided they get a seat or else learn something from their register, some are in rush to catch the standing train and some are...

Since the present congress led UPA government would be facing general elections next year this budget had many reasons to be an anticipated budget. But this anticipation just dampened the spirits of many classes of Indian society . It fulfilled neither the hopes and aspirations of business class nor of the poor people. Just like railway budget it was more of political nature rather than populist. This time the tax slab for various income categories has not been revised and has been adopted as it was last year. Tax credit of rupees 2000 for income upto rupees 5 lakh has been provided. Since the fiscal deficit is already too high at 5.2% and lack of high revenue sources and burgeoning expenditure make the situation more worse  , the government instead of providing a tax credit of rupees 2000 upto income of 5 lakh could have provided it upto an income of  rupees 3 lakh. People earning above 3 lakh won’t mind paying  rupess 2000 as tax for the development of the nation. Her...
