Accompany me in Building a Better Bharat


This was the first article I wrote in 2009 to begin my blog. Today, Arvind Kejriwal is the leader I was hunting for and I am walking on his path. Aam Aadmi Party is the answer to all my questions.

How easy is it for a common man to sit in a group, have a sip of tea/coffee and slam the corrupt politicians? How easily one can condemn Sonia Gandhi for deploying Manmohan Singh as the puppet Prime Minister? But has the same common man ever thought of bringing a change and making a difference?

A govt official working in a Municipal Corporation may get allured when bribed for providing a fake birth certificate. But the same man wouldn't hesitate in accusing A Raja for his indulgence in multi-crore spectrum scam. After all, this is India (World's Largest Democracy) where everything is tolerated.

I don't say criticism is wrong. But according to me, a person doesn't inherit the right to criticise until he/she performs better than the subject being criticised.

One of my school teachers used to say, India needs a dictator to set right the system. But according to me this dream of hers should never come true. Within this democracy, which make us feel proud, we need a leader who can bring a change. A leader whose morals are high. A leader who genuinely believes in working for the nation. A leader who is a witness of dark shades of India. A leader who can unite the diversity. A leader who can feel the impulse of common man… A leader who is determined to make a difference!

Unlike most students who would not choose politics as their career, my choice has always been vice-versa.

Since I developed my conscience, I have always desired to be a politician. Not by being a part of the club that is adaptable to wrong means in the greed of power. But want to be a part of the group that can make a difference walking on the ethical path.
Some suggested me to join a political party, some asked me to indulge in social work, and some even showed me the path to dirty politics. But destiny made me a journalist. God guided me to raise the oppressed voices and bring a social change by using the power of media. But my inner desire still persist me to be a part of real life politics. If the voices of India are listening, I request them to show me the path, to guide me, to give suggestions and lend a helping hand in making a better political India.
Waiting for the response of voices of India

    it's really heartening to find people like u desiring 2 get into the political arena....a person who has a strong sense of ethics, a vision 2 bring +ve change in the system, n who has a fierce passion 2, as u say, clean up the mess is the ideal candidate 2 get in2 dis field.n m really plased wid the perspective u hav taken...bcoz we already hav a huge number of enlightened drawing room cynics who cn do no better thn just brag about wat wrongs the govt s doing wen they themselves hav no solution 2 offer or refuse 2 get in2 either politics or bureaucracy n actually DO something abt it. ppl like u inspire many, seriously.so the only thing i ll tell u is 2 keep writing n sharing ur travails in journalism n politics, wen u get in2 it.....my best wishes r with u.
    ppl like u hav the capability, in a gentle way, 2 shake the world. keep going :)

    So true....
    But you know what, people here take things for granted unless they come across the similar situation. It is very easy to sit and pen down our grievances but when it comes to air our complaints, you tell me how many of us would actually stand against the injustice. I bet none.

People's queries for People in Power

I am a 23-year-old educated youth in the phase of understanding the scheme of things. As we pass through this eventful year of 2011, there are hundred and one questions boggling my mind. If those in power are listening, please respond to these queries from a common man.   Questions to Political Leaders When the nation is asking for a strong Lokpal Bill due for the past 40 years, why is the executive diverting attention by throwing cards of Muslim quota within OBC reservation and FDI in retail? Is institution like Lokpal a platform for providing jobs that some of our leaders are demanding reservation in it? Why are crucial Bills like Lokpal, Citizens' Charter not made accessible to common Indian through govt Websites while they are being tabled in Parliament? When govt can publish long ads explaining its version of Lokpal Bill during Anna's fast at Ramlila Maidan, why the Bill is not published when it's introduced in the House? The irony is that the m...

What is Ecoplore?

Image
All of us love to go on holidays. It is important for us to get away from the hectic city life to rejuvenate ourselves.  On a holiday you would normally stay at a hotel, have breakfast, hire a taxi and go for sightseeing at a tourist destination full of other travellers. Those two days of hard earned leave, you had taken to relax and have some peace also goes waste into crowd, noise and pollution, this time not in your city but at the tourist destination.  Ecoplore comes with a breathe of fresh air…. All the eco-stays provided by Ecoplore are located in exotic locations. They are a bit far from the main town of the tourist destination. There is no crowd, no pollution and of course no honking cars. You are provided with all the three meals, morning and evening tea and snacks and a lot of activities. These activities could be trekking, water surfing, river crossing, ladder climbing, mountain biking, rappelling, rock climbing and many others depending on the location. The...

How I fell in love with 6 kids?

Image
Here's is the story about one of my most memorable journeys. I went to Kanyakumari to work on a Tamil feature film. The idea was to detach myself from my love but actually I got attached to 6 kids. Vella Panni is a Tamil feature film and it was my first experience to work in a feature film. I was given the role of an administrator and also as Director’s Assistant. I made lists, did some coordination and management and later on took care of the 6 leading artists who were kids woking in the movie. This was my first experience of working with the kids. When I told my mom that I am taking care of six kids, she was surprised. I was a person who could hardly spend 10 minutes with children. But, situation changes and we also change. I loved and enjoyed loving and playing with the kids. I miss them. The kid who played the role of Krishna was the naughtiest of all. He hardly listened to anyone. I will always remember how he opened a packet of surf excel, threw it, so...
