Political Introspection

Hi,, to my blog readers.Its time for introspection once again.Oye, don't be confused, I am not copying Rahul Gandhi's Speech ;)...........I thought of writing this blog when Gujarat came to power last year end; about how Namo is heading towards Delhi.But I felt he has to still prove his mantle at the center.Now, more or less a wave is heading towards BJP or Namo,I felt its the time to write about him.Moreover a third front sorry sorry first front AAP (as Arvind Kejriwal tells ) has also thrown their Hat into political Arena.

First of all a big hats-off to Kejriwal to bring back the clean politics into India though I am not still convinced by his commitments or the road map he has.The best thing ever happened because of AAP  is ,in my whole life I am seeing a change in the political parties mind set.This is a good sign.If the present situation occurred somewhere 2 years back or a year back between BJP and Congress then either of the party would have MANAGED to get the required seats and form the government .This time because of AAP both the parties are in 'pehle aap pehle aap' mode where we don't have still clear picture about Delhi,may go for re-election.So I should thank Kejriwal for this change at least in the mindset of political party.

There was a discussion where Nitin Gadakari said we didn't buy any MP's when Vajpayee lost with one vote in the parliament...come one Nitin we know how you MANAGED to get the people in Karnataka and Jharkhand.It is because Vajpayee didn't want to form a government by horse trading,everyone kept quite.I am really happy Kejriwal made BJP to think about their elderly Vajpayee thoughts and his personality. Anyone of you, if you are reading this blog go through Vajpayee's videos while debating in parliament,you will definitely be mesmerized by him.

OK coming to NaMo,Scindia in a channel told that this is the victory of Shivraj Singh Chouhan not Narendra Modi.Yes this is the victory of Shivaraj Singh Chouhan in MP ,Vasundhara Raje's victory in Rajasthan and Raman Singh in Chattisgarh. But do you think there is no affect of NaMo,come on Scindia you are an economics student, you should know better than anybody else.In MP, BJP won 140 odd seats last time under the leadership of Shivaraj Singh Chauhan. But this time in MP,they got 160 odd seats.Who has bought those seats.I really wonder whom to give the credit for those 20 odd seats though all channel predicted MP will get somewhere around 140.And moreover in MP there is an Anti incumbency. Coming to Rajasthan part everyone thought BJP will get around 100 seats and it is enough to form the Government,but to my surprise it got 160 odd seats.For this 60 odd seats who should be given the credit.In Chattisgarh ,due to Naxal attack recently at dantewada,BJP would have lost ,but they won with thumping majority.

Now let the readers introspect who should be given the credit.I will give my personal experience about NaMo. In my office if there are 5 people of different states,then all the Northern state guys will support Narendra Modi.I still feel there is a less affect of NaMo at the southern states which i think he will MANAGE to get the alliance.So at least this 4-0 victory credit should go to NaMo.

The Above opinions are purely my personal View.

Negativity all over

Guys ,its been 11 months since I posted on my blog.There are lot many reasons behind this delay. Actually, Sudhir and I started blogging at the same time.I think he has left the habbit now.I dont know the reason, may be he is busy with his work and social life/responsibility.Its true, everyone is busy in their own life.But I felt the right time will come ,when I will pen down my thoughts.I mean, the right time is a positive energy, but I didnt find it still.

People who are reading this may think I am pessimist .I am basically a very positive person but the things around me making me pessimist.Let us start the topic.When I thought I should write about Narendra Modi, when he was elected as CM for Gujarat, only corruption was the main topic all over the world that did override my thoughts.Then came IPL fixinig ,Sachin retirement,telangana declaration,seemandhra protest,$ appreciation against rupee,onion price raise,commodities price raise etc.Like this, one by one popped up which made me really sad about my country, the direction in which we are heading.

When I was coming back to INDIA from US, everyone asked me, what will you do there? You will be having luxurious life in US .My point at that time was, if we are not the changers or we are not doing something for our country, then who else will. So, to do something about it ,I tried to go against the corrupted system, to not give bribe for any Govt work.I successfully did this for my marriage certificate.As part of it, I also tried to educate my fellow colleagues not to give bribe, atleast when you have time and patience to get the work done.

Then the discussion that popped in the family and among friends was that I made a mistake coming to INDIA and giving lectures about making a change to see the better INDIA.Personally, sometimes when I see the dollar rates, I feel that I made a mistake :-) But the question comes, how to face it and how to cope up with it.As my friend Sakolkar always tells me, if we change our stand depending upon the situation then the identity will go .So, everytime I keep it in my mind and make up my mind to do better.

Ok. Now my message to fellow readers is that, the change is in our hands.I am trying to do it in my company.So you can also achieve this in your company or among friends/neighbors. Please make sure that whoever you know, registers themselves in voter's list.It will be difficult , people will think you are fool but we will try our best. If we succeed atleast  10% then its enough.And also make sure they vote in the next general elections.Here, I am not supporting any party, I am only trying to bring educated people to vote for a change.So we will try our level best for VOTE FOR A CHANGE.

See u untill then

I hope we will meet @ our retirement

Guys, the last post was about emotions and relationship. If I don't mention about my friends then it will not be a complete one.The other day I was chatting with one of my friend and I told her that my next post will have the heading, "Hope we will meet @ retirement",Don't be surprised as to why I am discussing about retirement so early.Ok, I will start with my journey from school to my office.

It all started in School ,as we were the only section with co-education and remaining sections were all either only Girls or only Boys,So we had lot of fun during my school days.I was bought up in Kamlanagar where we had small group of friends, Ananth,Ashwath,Bhavesh,Kiran Sagar....these people were the few with whom I started my first ever friendship.I was involved in the cricket team, though I was a 12th batsman and a bowler.I as a person, never gave less than my 100% in friendship. If I look back now, I always want them to grow higher than me and when they make a mark in life I feel that I have done something.Such a stupid emotional fool I am.During this friendship I made enemies too, by saying the truth on their face.

I always believe that people should be able to face the criticism in the same manner as they like the praise from the others.But unfortunately they dont.In this path of life I met a great friend called Satish,Accidently I met him with a rift only , we fought in the streets of my school on an exam issue.Then we became best buddies.Until then, I never knew  that there is a society outside my school and home.He introduced me to the world and taught me all nuances of society.Unfortunately, I dont know where he is today and what he is doing.

Then it was my Engineering days,this was the time I had experienced most of my embarrassing moments.Basically my nature is that I dont care what others speak about me.I always do what my heart says.During my engineering days, I met Ashok,Pradeep,Sudhir,Anirbhan,Ajith,Arun,Sharath,Narendra,Omprakash,Pavamana,Kiran,Siddharth,Abhijith and all from the Adoni gang.....As I told the I Am an emotional fool ,but for an unknown person I am a rude guy. I still remember when Arun and Ajith were taking college change ,I personally felt that they were leaving me alone in the college.It is the kind of emotion I do get when anybody leaves me.More over the last day of my engineering when I left my college after our farewell ,I was sitting at the sit-out of my hostel and tears were running down my eyes. Then, my last gang of engineering days like Gowda,Vijji,Umesh,Sriharsha; these were the guys who came to me and took me into the hostel.

When I started this post, I thought I will not be having much to write, but its going on and on.So I will take a pause here and will continue in detail in any of my next posts if my readers are interested. The only thing I feel bad is , I am not meeting any of the above friends now a days, though we all stay in the same city. Though we all had discussed when we were leaving the college that, we will have a group email where we can discuss.Now that group email has become a big joke though I am one of the moderator for that. I dont say we didnt try to meet, Some entu guys tried to meet at Lalbagh but ended up with one or two...So I told my friend while chatting that hope everyone will meet @ our retirement age.

Relationship and Emotions

Today I was in Mangalore to leave my wife in her home town.It was raining heavily from Bangalore to Mangalore . A lot of memories were running around .So I decided that this is the best time to write something about my childhood.I think it was 1992, when my father was starting his second venture in Anantapur and we had called all our relatives to the inauguration.It was like a festival in our home.In the past 29 years, I always had my cousins as my best friends.So I never felt that I should make any friends outside the family.

OK,coming to my post .The day when my father's restaurant opened ,everyone was happy and I too was playing with my cousins.The next day everyone was leaving back to their home town. I still remember that I had cried like a child and my father had pulled me into the house, while I was still crying to go with them.I had never thought I have to go to school the next morning or that my home is in Anantapur.After two days I was back to normal.The kind of affection I had towards my cousins or aunts was tremondous.

The reason I am writing this post is because , recently we had function at my home where everyone came two days in advance and left the next day of the function.When they were leaving, I had the same kind of feeling that I had 20 years ago.The memory is still alive in my mind, when I cried and asked my cousins and aunts not to go.Now that I have grown up but the same emotions still exists in me.

  I dont believe that this generation kids have that kind of emotions in them.But when my wife's nephew (sister's son) cries when he leaves us while he goes home , I feel, ya relationships still matter.When that kid  calls me chichappa and my wife chichamma ,we both feel that the relations and emotions still exist in the next generation ,not bad you know.And also when the function got over last week, that kid left our house and with in an hour he started asking his mom where is chichamma :) (he actually can't spell 'ka'.Instead he tells 'cha').So my message to everyone is please do inject the relations in the kids which is very important for their future in a way to know their roots.

Olympics!!

Its been long time since I wrote any kind of posting.Previously when I used to be alone , I was interested to pen down my thoughts.As you can see my blog heading itself is "Lone with all friends".,it started with my loneliness.Now days I am not getting much time to pen down my thoughts.You can say its because of my marriage or my Wife.Marriage is a beautiful thing which happened to me.Today after a long time , I got some time to write down .

I was thinking what should I write in my next post; thought of writing about politics but not now. I am sure I will post after Gujarat elections :) Coming back to this post , I am writing about a girl whose career I  followed from 2008.I believe, my manager and myself were following Beijing Olympics and daily I used to tell him that she is a new prospect to our country.She will make us(Indians) proud.But when she lost in the quarter finals ,I was very much disappointed on that day and thought whether she was also one more hype created by media.

But still I didn't lose hope. I kept on following badminton sport which I never ever thought will do, other than following our cricket because of GOD Sachin.Now also if Sachin gets out I wont watch the match; that kind of passion he has created in me.The same passion somehow this girl created in me,that's none other than our own Bronze medalist Saina Nehwal.Kudos!! to her.

The kind  of 3D's  where I believe a sports person should have those are of Dedication,Determination and Discipline. I think no one can match Saina other than Sachin.The fame comes to you ,but handling it is very difficult.She has done it.After her Beijing Olympics, she has won 11 gold, 3 silver and 2 Bronze, which is not a small thing when our whole country is behind Cricket celebrating World Cup ( I am not taking the credit from them).I should salute her and Gopichand for making us proud in this Olympics.I feel very positive and enthusiastic when I see these kind of News!!

Last one Year 2011!!

Its been 5 to 6 months i peeped into my blogger site...Last year when i wrote about 2010 year ,it was mixed reactions...The year 2011 is one of unforgettable year for me.Personally I got married ....But  i lost my Grandma first(my father's mother ) and Secondly my Grandfather (My mother's father).My Grandfather is one of the person who had influenced my life style or the thinking process.

He was a real role model for all my cousins..He always walks the talk.He was a teacher by profession .We respected him a lot for his balanced mind.The reason behind this is his thoughts were never biased.The word DHARMA suits very much to him.He was a strong follower of politics and cricket ,which i think is each and every grandson/daughter's interest in our family. May his and her soul rest in peace......
