Senseless statements could prove fatal to Congress

Yesterday was a busy day.  Everyone in my area was in rush to reach home or to finish tasks before the AAM SABHA of Rahul Gandhi. I lived near the place where the Rahul was expected to deliver the speech. Due to my semester exams I was not able to attain the sabha but I read the complete speech of Rahul Gandhi. The speech was no different from his other speeches and I was disappointed by the way he took to convince the voters. Though audience applauded every sentence of Rahul Gandhi but congress cannot consider it to be in their favor. After all the audience were the paid ones. The point he was raising was useless and his desperation to prove congress better than other parties was shown in his speech. Today I heard MODI giving speech in Jhansi (U.P.) and he was just using the Rahul Gandhi’s statements.

In this situation where the MODI is the HOT favorite congress must not give any statements which may turn against them. Congress leaders are totally confused and don’t know how to handle the media or to give speeches while the BJP leaders are giving effective speeches. State elections are approaching in Madhya Pradesh and Jyotiraditya Scindia’s effect can be seen in Madhya Pradesh but the speeches of Rahul Gandhi and other senior leaders are making his way tougher. I have seen Jyotiraditya scindia defending the senior’s leaders in the press and I don’t think he is supposed to do that.

If congress really want to win the elections then they must have to adopt the strategy which they adopted in the 2003 elections i.e. give right kind of speeches and attack the party not the candidate. In 2003 Atal bihari Vajpayee ji was hot favorite but congress still able to sneak victory. Moreover, congress can learn from its own C.M. Sheela Dixit who is likely to win the next elections as well. If congress is willing to pass such statements then I would request them to stay away from state level politics in Madhya Pradesh as it will waste Scindia’s efforts.

I hope that the statement quality of congress improves in near future otherwise it will be curtains for the congress. 

Everything else matters

He is in his early thirties and has a habit of falling in love. I am talking about one of my friends who just ended one more relation. Sometimes I wonder why he keeps falling in love after having so many bad experiences. I know him for past 3 years and I witnessed 4 break ups. Every time he found a girl, he starts acting like a matured person and after sometime his sanity flews like a smoke. Until today I was not having the courage to ask why he keeps on searching for the new girl and why he keeps ending the relations. Today I fired the question and get a smile in reply.

I was prepared for some kind of philosophical speech or angry reactions but surely not for this kind of reaction. I again asked him why he keeps ending the relation and he replied because his girlfriend wants it. I had a word with her girlfriend and from her words I don’t think she wants the same.  Rather than revealing this, I fired another question “why you think she wants to end the relation?” I again got the smile in the reply. He ordered two coffee and said let me give all your answers at once. After taking a sip he starts speaking “have you ever heard Matallica’s nothing else matters?” I said yes. So if you are in true love with someone then nothing else matters for you and if you don’t love truly then everything else matters. He revealed that all her past girlfriends were busy in finding happiness in other things while he was trying to find happiness in her eyes. Moreover, whenever he finds someone he thinks that’s it and for him the world is just finished around her but unfortunately for the girl the world is still left outside him.

I advised him not to go in the relationship so fast until you find the right girl and he said if I judge the girl by keeping my parameters then I would find the girl who is perfect for me but what about the girl is she been able to find her Mr. Perfect in me? I said, definitely yes and he again replied me with a smile. Before going into the long conversation he summed up the thing that let me keep myself open for everyone and who knows what it I will get in the end.

Our conversation ended but still I am thinking about his conditions. How he is feeling right now as he always finds the space of Mr. Perfect empty in his girlfriend’s heart. I hope he will find someone for whom nothing else matters and in fact I wish the same for his ex as well. 

Odd way out

Odd winds start knocking my door and I wasn’t having any clue. Suddenly my so called steady life is been shattered and my panic starts resulting blunders. To avoid turmoil I start working hard and I was hoping that things will start falling in the right place. Unfortunately, nothing has happened and situations were getting worst every day. I begin to increase effort level and start trying to find the positivity.  As I read somewhere that positivity helps individual to find the right way, hence I was applying it.  Sadly, this also proves to be of no use and now I was feeling the heat. 

Trying to find the way, I was doing every possible effort and with each failure I was getting more and more tensed. Just few days back I visited one of my old hangout places and the shop owner greeted me with a broad smile. I asked him how everything is going on and get this reply “everything is fine, just enjoying the routine life”. He was living a complacent life and hence he was having many moments to cherish.

After coming back, I think over his answer and now I got the root cause of the problem. In order to make things right I changed my routine life. Before facing the problems, I was having a routine of evening walk and reading books. But as the things went wrong, I start paying attention to only problem. Next day I woke up and start doing the normal activities, believe me I did not do anything which is out of my characteristics and things starts falling on the right place.  I don’t know, whether it was luck or the result of my routine life but now the things are well in control. Generally, we all change our life in adverse situations which results mistakes. If we concentrate on problem without disturbing our routine then we can solve our problem easily. If the problem is related with your work, then solve it at your workstation and if it is with your family then discuss it only when you are at home. Don’t try to pay attention to problem 24 X 7, as it will increase the number of other mistakes. So, if you are also facing such situations then please stick to the basics and trust me your problem will be solved.   

Provoking thoughts

Life is beautiful, isn’t it? Well for a kid or for a self-complacent person it holds well. Then what is for others? Well some find it miserable; some find it battle, while I find life as an ignorant object. Whenever I try to focus on the life I lose focus on the world. In an effort of making life good, I waste many good moments. Though I manage to sneak some time for creating relationships, which dilutes my resentment but still it’s pretty much on the same side.

I read many philosophical books, heard many spiritual gurus giving their thoughts, in short I tried many ways to enlightened my soul (that’s what many guru’s used to say when they find a purposeless life) but the result were not in my favor. In search of an answer I began to read OSHO and believe me no magic happen. My life moves in the same manner but my thoughts range increases. Now for every situation I have many thoughts and more importantly few thoughts help me in coming over from the miserable situation.

Thoughts are really helpful and in fact everyone of us are having plenty of thoughts but in order to increase its range one must have to store experience that he gathers. There is no one who is weak or strong, those who have low thought range are weak. Best way to increase the range is by reading. As it helps you in observing the same thing from different dimension, hence it would be great if you start reading. Luckily I have the habit which really helps me a lot. I would suggest you all that please start reading books. One book in a month will be just fine. Just spend some time with it and you will surely be able to get the desired result.

Forgotten fragrances

Being born in the Brahmin family makes you habitual of lots of fragrances. Moreover, if you

are born in the village then you will surely knit some of your childhood memories with fragrances. Blessed by the both, whenever I recall my childhood life of village I can start feeling the mixed fragrances. As my day usually starts late, I always have aroma of incense sticks around me. At my home you will always have some different incense stick aroma in morning and evening time. Those sweet sandal smell when amalgamates with aroma of tea kick starts my day and if it’s the month of monsoon then you will continuously receive fine fragrances of soil. One of my favorite fragrances is of one thelawala who sells potato chips and other snacks. As I was a kid I can’t name the person or fragrance but I enjoyed it. Whenever my uncle took me to market I visit that thela to buy some random stuff. 

It’s not only the places that have different fragrances many people too carry different fragrances. One of our family friends is fond of ‘khas itra’ and it was so heavy that it transfers from his cloths to other’s cloth if he hugged him. Similarly Rameshwar bhaiya (school sweeper) was characterized by his jasmine oil fragrances. Most of the people were fond of eating pan and hence they are always surrounded by mint and kimam fragrances. Sadly, time and childhood both are gone and everything changed.

Now when I visit my village I get different smell around me. Luckily I could still get the same sandal incense stick fragrances with a cup of tea in the morning but apart from this I can’t expect to have any other childhood fragrance. Empty lands are now having homes and cemented roads increases number of vehicles which yields the same smell as I have in my city. Pans are now been replaced by cigarettes which again annoyed me. Only few people are still using itra and hence it’s really difficult to get that fragrance too. The only improvement in the fragrance area is the fragrance of my car.  Thanks to ambi pure ( www.facebook.com/AmbiPurIndia) I don’t have to bear any odor while driving.  Though the fragrances are died but I can still cherish them in my memories.  

On the wrong side of life

“Life is a beautiful gift of god and we must have to cherish every moment of it.” A round of applauses followed by the sentence as one of the guest lecturer finally ends his speech. I was relieved and was preparing to leave the hall. Suddenly one of our college cleaners entered in the hall and start picking up the empty disposable cups. Bounded by the habit of presenting smile to everyone around, I did the same with him and got a dull smile in reply.  His smile was covering lot of problems and I want to know the reason of his dejection. I asked him in straight forward manner and got the straight forward response that he is not feeling well. Though I know he was lying but was not having the dare to confront him and hence rather than asking him the real reason I asked him to take leave which he again courteously denied. One of my friends too notice agony in his eyes and asked him a bit more forcefully.

Breaking the silence he reveals that he was having typhoid and hasn’t recovered fully. Moreover his medical leaves are finished and his financials does not allow him to take more leaves. After listening to the matter we asked him to request the management for sanctioning the leaves but he was not having any courage to do so.  We decided to consult the management on his behalf but he was not ready for it as well. After some time he requested to leave the hall and pleaded that we won’t be discussing his predicaments with anyone. We assure him that we won’t break his trust and finally a bit satisfied smile comes on his face.  We also left the hall and proceed to our homes.

In night one of my friend who missed the lecture called me to ask about the lecture and while briefing him about the lecture, ending note again struck my mind and this time it was with the painful smile of that cleaner. I figure out the fact that it’s really easy to say that cherish every moment of life but it’s really hard when life is at wrong side. When the odd winds are blowing all we can do is to present the smile to the one and keep others away from our personal matter. That’s what he was trying to do and I was restraining him to do. I hope his worries may end soon and he won’t be cherishing the bitter moments of life. 

Modi-fying India

Days of Lok Sabha elections are coming closer and NA-MO fever is starting to take control. We all witnessed what Modi did to Gujarat, which ignites the fire of change. For most of us he is the ideal prime minister of the country and to in-cash his popularity BJP even sacrifices its old loyal companion. But does it make sense?  Well for obvious reasons yes. After Atal Bhirai Vajpayi Modi is the only leader of BJP whose popularity graphs is increasing with his each statement. Moreover, Modi brings new verve to the banal Indian population.  

From the use of promotion techniques to word selection during the press conference, Modi

 is emphatic in every sense. After a long time we receive such a proactive leader and in fact for many of us he is the prime minister. With all the allegations of being autocratic and a Hindu biased leader, he is still one of the hot favorite to won the next poll. Unfortunately, the way for Modi is not as easy as it’s seen. In fact it’s a crisis situation for the BJP. 

Though BJP did cornered from the Lal Krishna Advani but the probability of Modi winning the election is still one by two. BJP too is unsure whether they are coming in the power or not. Modi recently landed harsh words to the Nitish kumar and it may well turn out against him. After noble prize winner Amartya sen’s statements, intellectuals of the country too are having the doubts on abilities of the Modi. Moreover, if you observe the last few conferences of Shivraj Singh Chauhan (chief minister of M.P.) then you will find the sense of opposition in his words. He too did commendable work in Madhya Pradesh but fails to get the limelight. Moreover, with growing opposition inside the party Modi’s dream to Modi-fy India may be broken soon.

“You cannot elect the religion biased leader for the post of P.M. in secular country”. I found this line in one of the editorials of a newspaper which along with the article of TOI “Truth behind NAMO’s number” invokes new thoughts on the Modi’s way to become a P.M.  I personally appreciate his style of leadership but still the journey is not easy as it seems. Hope Modi’s dream come true and we have a dominating P.M. after Late. Indira Gandhi.
