And we are back to free

I lost my domain parasarora.com well due to the lack of a credit card. The credit card companies are right for i might be the perfect credit risk that they know of. Anyway back to the free world. 

Dark Knight

After all the dust is settled you will find me around
after you think you have lost it all i shall walk by your side
for i ain't like those dazzling blinding lights
i show up like a knight in your darkest nights

win lose

For sometimes you cry to make other smile
for sometimes you fall often so that they can walk a mile
for you neither win nor lose in life's game
enjoy the ride my friend for the end is the same

My politician- for better or for worse

Found this good article @http://yourvoteforindia.blogspot.com/

Now that the necessity and importance of voting has already permeated the minds of the youth..I wanted to use this forum to enable voters to take the right decision when voting. Nothing very complex....just a summary of the various political parties...their agendas, priorities...a little about their history...their leaders.

Simply put..its just a choice between the lesser of the devils...all have their pros and cons...you choose the one that aligns best with your expectations.I wanted to put a sort of table for why and why not you should vote for a political party:

3rd Front

Why Not vote for the 3rd front (Left, BSP and a bunch of others):

1. It has Left as one of its pioneers which is known to be anti development. Still holding on to archaic concepts of Marxism when China has embraced capitalism and accepted that Socialism is not a practical way for routing out poverty. WB and its laggard status is a classic example.

2. It has Mayawati as its PM candidate - Known to be corrupt to the core(visit Lucknow)..she encourages mammoth birthday parties and building statues for herself. Do we want an uneducated person who has risen playing the caste card throughout.

3. They will rob the country clean if they come to power. Be rest assured Mayawati and her men will have swept the country of taxpayers money...and create a huge parallel black money market. Left leaders will create unions across the board and cripple all industry....rewinding India another 50 years.

4. The parliament will be a mockery and will not last its term...all parties haggling for power and a piece of the cake will fight among themselves.....and soon enough we will have a hung parliament.

5. The country will be a mess if they come to power

Sorry...cant think of any Whys for the 3rd front. And on a similar note, voting for independents (who may be educated enough) is also in a way promoting a hung parliament -which can lead to an unstable Govt.

Now to the bigger powers

CONGRESS (INC)

Why Not Congress

Dynastic politics:A party that has been standing on the 'Gandhi' family name - irrespective of how deserving/undeserving the heirs are.

 

Stifled Indian economy for nearly 45 years after independence - nationalizing banks, discouraging private enterprise, Overtaxing businesses - all leading to high levels of poverty and corruption

 

Monmohan (PM) often tagged as a pawn and a weak PM at the hand of Sonia Gandhi- and kind of true considering we have seen or heard little of him in the 5 years - and you don’t expect economic policies like the ones implemented in this tenure from people like Manmohan

Believes in giving people fish than teaching them to fish - Free electricity, loan waivers, Reservations - all crippling Indian economy in the longer term and making the poor fiercely dependent on the Govt

Minimal infrastructure development during its tenure

Alliances with the likes of Lalu Yadav and Left in a desperate attempt to form the UPA - which led to the most inactive government from 2004-09

Why Congress

Priyanka Gandhi does show some promise however

 

Had the brains of Manmohan Singh, Chidambaram and Montek Alhuwalia who had the vision of liberalizing in the 1990's - But that process too unfortunately lost momentum in 2 years

 

Thanks to Manmohan putting his foot down, Congress clinched the Nuclear deal - necessary to cater to India's power needs

 

BJP (NDA)

Why not BJP

 

Communal manifesto visible in actions like Ayodhya, Godhra, support for Varun Gandhi

 

Stood against the nuclear deal with the US - A cheap act showing desperation to put Congress out of power

 

Why BJP

A break from the dynastic rule of the Gandhi's who have done much damage to the country

 

Good amount of infrastructure development during its rule - Golden quadrilateral, highways, ports, Electricity - Gujarat is a case in point where there has been tremendous development

Encouraged private enterprise, Privatization and Decentralization - bringing greater efficiency and results in organizations

Has policy visions like Uniform civil code - necessary for a uniform and stable democracy

Strong government which gives us confidence compared to the weaker Congress

 

because he is a khan

We were playing cricket the other day. As usual we were short on players and were yelling at the top of our voices to gather children playing around. So after a lot of effort our teams were set and we started playing. There was this small child named Waiz, harmless fellow who was sitting alone on a bench. I called him and asked him if he wanted to play. With little nod i understood that he was either afraid or really low on self confidence. well then it was all set and ready to play.

During the match there was this kid playing football and he kicked it to our section of the ground. He started yelling 'bhaiya aap de do, waiz ko mat marne do' (he asked me to kick the ball and dont let Waiz kick it). A friend of mine asked the football kid what was the problem if Waiz was to kick the ball. And the reply we got was shocking. He said "kyunki woh khan hai" (because he is a khan)..

Coming from a well educated family how can young people think like this. I mean we all hear bullshit about secularism and unity in diversity crap. There is no point if the young generation are still hardcore at heart.
Tell me what should we do???
