No Permanent Friends & No Permanent Enemies

In Politics, there are no permanent friends and there are no permanent enemies - quote by a senior politician of India

Somehow, this shows the attitude of politicians in India today, who know that they can't be very 'strongly expressive' in their opinions since they might have to approach some other party to form a coalition party post election results.

The hundreds of small political parties and some of the significant ones too, are ready to align themselves with any leading party irrespective of their ideology or election manifesto … Politics has become business and not a service which a person in power offers to the country.

There is a need for the fresh and intelligent people in politics who join the political space with the understanding that if you want to make a difference to people's live on a large and lasting scale, you got to get inside the administration and policy making of the country and do your deed.

Someday ... If life does give me what I want (which pretty much seems like a nil chance from my past experience :) ... I would like to enter politics and make a difference !! 

some day ... ... ...

    Cheers!

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
