INDIA AFTER 2014 ELECTIONS, FEARS..!!!

It's just about a couple of month before we get into the forthcoming loksabha elections . The roars of RAGA, NAMO and AK are souring high and the gossip at tea are turning into a debate. Amidst of this insane pre-election fanaticism the fear which is most likely to become reality as soon as results are out can't be neglected 

The outcome of the forthcoming general elections is unlikely to be very clear, for it is going to be a fractured verdict resulting into yet another unstable coalition built around several political formations, having nothing in common in terms of ideology or political agenda. It's not long ago when we saw the decline of national parties like the Congress and the BJP and the regional parties, formed around factors like caste, region, religion or personality of the leader, became more decisive in government formation. Again the time is same, the stage is set and fear of bad coalition is taking it's form. The problem with a coalition is that since these parties lack a clear national perspective and agenda, the future coalition is unlikely to exhibit any coherence or direction in governance, which again would be a built-in limitation of the government.More the involvement of these regional party increases in national politics more unstable the resulting government would be. BSP, SP, TMC, DMK , AIADMK , SHIV SENA, TDP, NCP , JD(U) , NC-Congress are the old players and will leave no stone unturned when it comes to playing a national role,and  the way AAP rose up to popularity it will be interesting to see what new it brings to the political enthusiasts.We will be witnessing the dirty game of alignment very soon where opposites will come together and provide us another 5 years of great show. However, with all these limitations and prospects of instability, one couldn't argue that  governmental stability will be a casualty.

The Republic of India progressing towards it's general election can only be saved by it's people, if they decide to choose among the available leaders, who does not represent only them but represents the republic as a whole. I'm laughing when i write this because in the nation with so much of diversity ,can people choose some one unanimously. Well psychology tell it's impossible but the history reminds me  it can be done.

Surrendering to this wonderful democracy we have, lets wait for time to tell.

*** इंसानियत ***

yet another stupid poem or what ever you may call it

जागते रहिये ज़माने को जगाते रहिये,

मेरी आवाज़ में आवाज़ मिलाते रहिये |

हमने कल रात जलाये थे जो दिए ,

उनकी लौ की रख को हटाते रहिये  |

नींद आती है तो तक़दीर भी सो जाती  है |

कोई अब सो ना सके, वह गीत गाते रहिये |

भूखा सोने को तैयार है मेरा यह देश ,

आप परिंदे के ख़ाब उसे दिखाते रहिये  |

वक्त के हाथ में फूल भी है, पत्थर भी है  |

चाह फूलों की है तो पत्थर भी खाते रहिये  |

जाने कब आखिरी खत, आपके नाम आ जाये,

आपसे जितना बन सके अनुराग लुटते रहिये  |

समय ने जब भी अँधेरे से दोस्तीं की है ,

जला के अपना घर , हमने रौशनी की है  |

हाँ तुम, " मेरी भावनाओ को " और आप

भी इसी तरह मेरी भावनाओ को पढते , सुनते  रहिये   |

मेरी आवाज़ में आवाज़ मिलाते रहिये ,

भावनाए अगर दिल तक पहुचे तो अपनी समझ अपनाते रहिये,

और अगर दिल तक पहुंची तो अगले कुछ पल तक मुस्कुराते रहिये  |

ज़िन्दगी क्या है ?

forgive me guys, if you don't like it, it was a amateur piece, i wrote it long back just for fun.

ज़िन्दगी क्या है?

किस्से पूछूं?

शायद कुछ सांसें जो हवा से मिल गयी

कुछ शब्द जो होठो तक आ नहीं पाए

कुछ आंसूं जिनकी नुमाइश हम कर ना सके

कुछ शख्स जो घर कर गए है दिल में

या शायद 

कुछ चंद पल ही हैं जो बार बार आते है

उनके हालात भी एक से ही होते है

उनका एहसास भी एक सा ही होता है

सिर्फ आइना बदलता है हमारा

साथ में अगर कुछ बदलता है तो वो है वक़्त

या

फिर कोई उत्सव है ज़िन्दगी

ईद या दिवाली जैसा

ग़म हो चाहे जितने हर

त्यौहार में उन्हें छुपा लेते है हम

ज़िन्दगी में तकलीफ हो चाहे जितनी खुद को संभाल लेते है हम

गर उत्सव ना होती ज़िन्दगी
अँधेरे में चिराग ढूढने की

चाहत कैसे रख पाता ये मन

असल में ज़िन्दगी की परिभाषा कहूँ तो

कुछ फूलों से बना आशियाना है

जिस में दफन है

दिन कुछ बेकरारी के,

थोड़ी से तन्हाई के

किसी की 2 पल की झलक पाने की ख्वाइश के

1 बुझती लौ को सँभालने की आस के

कुछ बन्ने की चाहत के

किसी अनुराग से मिलने की बेकरारी के

जीते तो हम ज्यादा या कम इन्ही पलों को है

जो इससे ज्यादा जीते है

वो मरने के बाद भी ज़िन्दगी जीते है

जो इससे कम जीते है

उन्हें ज़िन्दगी जीना सिखा देती है|

INDIAN ECONOMY, THE NECESSITY TO DO..

Heath ledger in his legendary portrayal as joker once quoted  " what ever doesn't kill you simply makes you stronger".
This quote may have taught us that whatever you do, don't think of the outcome because it will be certainly not the worst.

You might be wondering what this has to do with India and it's economy. The nightmare of economic slowdown India is  passing through are the talks in every corner nowadays specially with the big decision of the government to allow foreign direct investment.The government has been trying from last couple of months to cover it's back by taking one after other big policy decisions, recent changes in the fiscal rates is one of those.
These measures are the results of the goverment going through a policy paralysis during the recent years.
The minister have done everything but not the very basic thing for which they have been elected.

"There is ongoing slowdown globally" are not the new words by which ministers are justifying their inability.They are right though, the world's economy is passing through a slowdown, Europe is it's severe patient, but it can't be denied that the major factors causing slowdown in India are self-inflicted, only a minor being the influence of slowdown going on in other parts of world.

The policy makers of india have failed to improve the physical enviroment, manufacturing sector ,the reform done are only limited to fiscal reforms but basic labor laws , accountability and efficiently of government organization have witnessed no signs of relief.
There is need of frequent measures to be bought in light if we are expect our economy to just progress.

Assuming the GDP growth rate of 9-10% during the current decade seems like a faily tale , now the time time has come when lot is to be done to let the GDP grow even at the avergae of 6-7%, and realise that talking about 9% GDP growth rate is just exaggerating.

India and indians are known for doing what is obvious after trying all the alternatives.So now if  we are done with alternatives ..then lets do the obvious.WE WANT REFORMS.

If our PM and FM somehow manages to get India out of this mess, then may be they can prove Late Heath ledger right " what ever doesn't kill you simply makes you stronger".
