Being A Rebel

On 29th June, 2012 One more year passed by,  while I remained the one... Staying and counting by. Life has been a space in time.. Where people come and go,  They have to go and they do so. While being me, most of the time, into the thoughts and reality...  I Seldom forgot,  when to dim, when to shine.  It was only me,  lived in dark age and waited for the renaissance..  held on ups and stood through down, Lived through guilt,  Survived thorough innocence  who am I? the dream chaser? or own record breaker... Let it be, imperfect me with myself,  (just like this poem) Incomplete yet total in run, Let life be "coming soon" with fun...

“Ignorance is the night of the mind, a night without moon or star”  ~ Confucius Starting with this quote of Confucius, I wanted to draw our attention on the ignorance we are carrying forward in our daily life. It is not about being a pessimist or being a critique, but an observation from real life situation.  Talking about our society and country... a high level of ignorance could be found at every aspect. It is not only political, economic but also societal and personal. One of the most common attribute to the ‘educated’ class, when you talk about ‘politics’ or ‘public policy’ they make face of disgust. It a fashion and its contagious. They would flaunt it and say, ‘I hate politics’. Majority of them, never go and vote. However, they never miss a chance to cruse and abuse the criminal type political leader who was elected due to ignorance of such people. But they love their ignorance! And you cant convince them to do... not to blame.  The...

While all Indians are living uncomfortably under a scam ridden country, the trails of graft and scams are still coming with same speed.  For example, just one major 2G scam ($ 40 Million) is substantial portion of   India's GDP   ($1.73 Trillion). Since then huge scams like  Commonwealth Games Scam,  Coal Scam, KG Basin Oil Block selling, NRHM Scam, MNREGA Scam and IPL Scam are equally huge, the portion of black money is huge in proportion in Indian power game.  It is funny to see the top brass of government are not only covering up all he scams but also taking retrogressive steps to shoot down new business and start-ups.  The Annual Budget 2012-2013 of Indian Union presented by Finance Minister Pranab Mukharjee imposed a new tax ‘Startup Tax’. “It is proposed to insert a new clause in section 56(2). The new clause will apply where a company, not being a company in which the public are substantially interested, receives, in an...

I was told, truth prevails... But lairs got most of it. I was told honesty sails, But cheats made most of it. I was told, love wins all, But found it was nothing but calculations... They said, hard work pays, And by preaching they made millions. They call up on to help the suppressed, And they always wanted to be their leader... They call for justice, But saved the 'references' for own self purpose. They call up on revolution, But only as their power solution! Who are they?! Why can't they call the spade a spade?! They are made of all ourselves, The self core means and hidden agenda. The ethics are for 'others' 'Someone else' should speak the truth. Get me rich, suppressed will always be poor... That double faced bastard live though our situational hypocrisy. Let's get it straight, Be the mean but don't lie. Tell the truth that you do sell dreams... Tell people that one's self is best well-wishes. No preaching, no dream selling! Let...

While caste being less and less important in common lives of Indians, caste-politics is picking up and growing up to deeper depths. Education and appointments are totally casteists now, even the text book and examination papers are becoming tool for justification of caste politics and vote bank politics.             When India won freedom, entire population was poor and illiterate, regardless of its caste line. Reservations were far less and only in Electoral and public jobs. At present, 64 years down the line, Indian populous is richer and more literate and even more urban (where caste don’t even matter in real life), the caste quotas are must increased and infested all higher educational institutes even specialized agencies such as ISRO, NRSA, DRDO and all other government agencies. What is making this tendency stronger? Certainly nothing but the lust of power, which is being clinched through divisive vote bank policies....

Udayveer ji, talking about the caste should not be one sided. What Dr Ambedkar did was not Annihilation of caste but rather insitutionalization of caste. The worst form of caste discrimination, which is publish in the govt report or any other report - is not universal. Even today, 99% atcrocities against poor or dalits are done by the so called OBC castes, who gets more reservations than even dalits! Talking on Dr Ambedkar, he was an educated rhetoric. His father was working in army. Local king sponsered all education on Mr Ambedkar. Despite that, He never participated in freedom struggle, also demanded separate electoral. Political parties and govt documents often lie in order to maintain the political correctness, referring him as a freedom fighter. He was never one. Read and think. Let's talk about another great leader who also belong to same caste - Babu Jagjeevan Ram. He was a great freedom fighter, finest statesman and perhaps he inducted several dalits in main str...

It was a summer of our college days of JNU. While other guys went home in vacations, my entire class headed towards Himachal for the academic tour. And we have to study the physical geography. All of us were very excited as we were going to mighty Himalayas for the first time. Class was divided into several committees and I was convenor of academic committee, as I loved briefing my folks every morning about the tasks of the day. The tour was under supervision of our guru ji Prof Milap Chand Sharma, a world famous glaciers expert and our coolest professor. It was fun-learning experience as we learn geological history of the Himalayas along with the environmental importance of the mountains. We tracked up to the mouth of Beas river and also walked over the parent glacier of this river.  The natural beauty near Beas kund was amazing. Tough and rocky vertical tracking made it very adventurous. On due course, we met many mountaineering groups most on them were defence...
