Shiva who danced in RAGE!!!

It all started on June 14 and with each passing hour the horror of flood shook the very corner of this beautiful land. 

Men, women, old ones, kids, soldiers you name it every one lost their life in an attempt to live or let live!

Had it not been for Indian Army, and Indian Air force heroic efforts the death toll could have increased by leaps and bounds.

Thousands were rescued; thousands were cremated while hundreds are still missing.

People from all round the country visit the holy shrine of the twin cities of Uttarakhand, Badrinath and Kedarnath to offer prayers but in return all they received were heartbreak, tears, inconsolable soul, – for no fault of theirs they had to suffer.



Sometimes such natural calamities makes people think about the sequence of events especially if it’s in a pilgrimage spot.

On one hand the survivors who witnessed, the people who saw on TV sets the tragedy unfold may blame the eco system - Green Violation which led to massive destruction.

But the worst is for those who lost their near – dear ones.

God forbid but with such a tragedy anyone who carries faith is bound to have a doubt of God’s existence.

The Government says Rescue will be over in couple of hours. Relief camps were set which helped thousands. Reconstruction will happen in years to come but what about Rehabilitation of those locals who have lost the very essence of life.

It will take months probably years to lead a normal life but it will certainly take enormous effort – to get a good night sleep! 

May God – if he exists in Uttarakhand give strength; bring peace in the life of those who have suffered!

Amen!!

"A trek to hell" has just begun!
 

After all, support in a winning cause; is as Good a Win!

If Nadal’s exist from first round of Wimbledon was shocking then the Greatest of all time - Roger Federer’s exist from round two could well be described as “end of an era”

With two of the best players out of Wimbledon there lies greatest chance for Britain’s favorite tennis kid Andy Murray to win his Maiden Wimbledon Trophy.

Having said that at some point he will need to overcome powers of Djokovic and then looms a greater uncertainty. If this Brit reach final - 

Will he be able to cope up with the pressure of playing at Center Court of Wimbledon in final in front of his home crowd?

Murray's coach Ivan Lendl winner of 8 Grand Slams is descirbed as one of the greatest tennis player of all time. He was excellent grass–court player, but he too couldn’t lay a hand at this coveted trophy.

Will the tide change; Can Lendl help Murray overcome the pressure of Wimbledon final?   

After all, win for one could create  a history. For another – it may bring end to a painful journey!

4 R’s, one RASCLE!

Rescue, Relief, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction these four R’s – are the only way, a step towards helping homeless, helpless mortals who have and are witnessing one of its worst catastrophe in Himalayas. 

On one side we have seen commendable job executed by Indian Army, Indian Air force to rescue people from remote places of Uttarakhand.

And on other side the disgusting tale of political parties scoring points over each other continues. 

First it was air visit from Dr. Singh and Soniya Gandhi which brought air rescue operation to a frustrating halt. Then it was blaming Gujarat Chief Minister N Modi for the relentless support he provided to the people of Gujarat in such tiring times

But the ultimate slap came in today when President, Vice President and Delhi CM flagged off relief material for the victims of flash floods in Uttarakhand.

For god sake, there are hundreds of people who have lost their life, many are still missing, thousands are still stranded and MAYHEM IS FAR FROM OVER!


By no means it’s a time to earn brownie points! Such images of  are nothing but insult to irrevocable injury!

HATE CONGRESS, SAVE INDIA! Is probably what people of India should be chanting! 

Brilliance can win you matches; Team work will win you CHAMPIONSHIP!

For a nation driven by calamities, corruption and crime; cricket is possibly the only thing which has got back the smile on billion faces.

Yes.. Yes... MS

In 2007 it was World Twenty20

In 2011 it was World Cup and now
In 2013 it’s Champions trophy.

 Had it not been for his temperament and more often than not Lady Luck which has favored Indian Captain this Indian team wouldn’t have won ICC trophies under MSD.

MS now is the only Captain to win all major ICC trophies. 

Under MSD – the bunch of individuals have played like a team.

Finally bizarre long frustrating Sunday for spectators at the ground and people back home ended on a high note.  

India are the winners of ICC Champions trophy 2013.   

Thanks to boys who have played as a team!!!

A moment of truth was a big :-))

- Smile!!!

Things will fall in place; for you, for me and hopefully for both of us together!

Sitting in a classroom, my eyes were glued to the book but mind? It was with her…

“Better be safe, than sorry” and on the same note I’d never allowed myself to cross boundaries, was least interested in someone’s private life and yet today I was feeling bad for her?

I was good at confrontation, loved debates, but not once took someone’s fight as my personal one and yet here I was taking up a fight - which didn’t even belonged to me. 

That was a point when I realized how badly screwed up I was!

I wasn’t obsessed but surely protective about her.

Every time I looked at her all I could think was; How will I protect her when she’s feeling lonely? How will I protect her when she’s rejected?
How will I protect her when she thinks her things are under her control but go horribly astray?  
How will I protect her from not being in tears? What would I do to bring back the smile…

 

Somwhere I knew but wasn’t willing to accept the answer; after a while I couldn’t have done much to protect her?

 All I could do was to pray for things to fall in place; for her, for me and hopefully for both of us together!

Here she comessss..........

 

Run the field with field & trek.
Face the drops with northface,

Different jackets day after day...
Monsoon for months come here to stay!!!

LK’s Yatra from Laxman to Bheeshma.... ;-))

Every man has a dream. Some reach to top of their career in 40’s, while some reach a little late. But in Politics Career starts only after 60. 
 
Advani was instrumental, played a pivotal role in forming BJP. In Vajpayee’s era he was considered Laxman of the Party.
 

But as far as political career was concerned this Laxman too had a dream. A dream of holding top post in India. 
A dream of becoming India’s Prime Minister.



But writing on the wall came with N Modi’s selection as a Chairman of election committee 2014.
 
What I found so hypocratic about the old man was the statement which he made while quitting the party. He said and I quote “people are here for personal agenda”
 
Well, if he was referring to N. Modi and his ambition then how under the sun can he forget his own ambition?
 
It was Advani who always gave the importance to the term “Captain” and now when BJP opted for a new Captain the old guard not only went on back foot but rebelled  in a manner which not only brought shame to his own party but big disgrace to character which he had built in the minds of people of India.
 
From now on, no matter what he does, at 85 this Laxman will go only Bheeshma’s way..... TO SERVE WHOEVER SITS ON THE THRONE…. 
 

Only Gandhis can claim to be born leaders…. Rest they start from grass root level!

Amidst the pressure from LK Advani, some of BJP senior workers and NDA leaders - BJP finally came up with compromising formula…

Due to pressure they surely have procrastinated to name BJP prime ministerial candidate for 2014, but have given enough hints my naming Narendra Bhai Damodardas Modi, the chairman of election committee 2014.

There are too many questions which one encounter….

Has BJP finally decided to give its reins in the hands of new leader/(s)?

Is it the end of Vajpayee-Advani era?

If Advani was Laxaman to Ram – Vajpayee, then who will get into Laxaman shoes for the new Ram in the name of Modi?

In case if BJP – NDA lead government wins, will NDA allow Modi to become Prime minister?

But the most important

What if Modi doesn’t create a magic which he is now expected to create?

Time they say; is an answer! Whatever the outcome Modi’s rise to leadership started from grass root level and barring 2002 he has done exemplary work for State of Gujarat.

Not that I know much about politics, but it’s better to vote for a person who promises to bring economic change than dwell on polarization of politics for votes.

After all Socrates rightly had said:

“A group of Donkeys lead by Lion can defeat a group of Lions lead by a Donkey”

"Judge, Jury and Executioner" But who?

They say; never rule out a man and certainly not if he happens to be a high flying politician.

He was imprisoned, sentenced to jail, was forced to go into exile.

And, yet on Wednesday nearly after 14 years it was Nawaz Sharif who was sworn in not only as 27 Prime Minister of Pakistan but also the first ever Pakistani politician to PM of Pakistan for the third time.

In one life time very few politicans must have travelled the path of what Mr. Sharif has went though. 

What amazed me was this pic of President Zardari who administered the oath of PM's office to Nawaz Sharif.

Punch into history and it was Zardari who had then enforced Governor rule and forced Sharif to go through the ordeal.

In politics you won’t have permanent friends… you won’t have foes for life either.
