The story called ‘Onion tragedy’.


Rs.60-Rs.90/kg? it’s a OMG (oh my God) expression ! Now onion will not make you cry when you cut it. Wana know why? Because now onion will be more effective for another sense organ. Your ears…..well the swelling price of onion will surely make you cry…lol.

It is said that the price of onion determines the fate of the government. Onion is giving a tough time to our sardarji (PM, Manmohan Bichara). Smuggle of drugs or weapons were easy affairs but now smuggling of onion from our neighbor’s field (Pakistan) is getting sturdy. Sharad Pawar became a sabji wala as he is calculating the sky rocking prices of onion and vegetables every passing second.

One of my uncle said, “it is better to eat fish or meat instead of using onion”. Honestly, one who earns knows the value of every rupee. The galloping price of things is a whip for a person who earns 10-15k/per month and have a family to support. We talk of a developed nation but we don’t know the pros and cons for the so called developed nation “the rising India”. Census shows till date there are people who earn maximum rs.20/per day (in Orissa) and if they have to pay Rs.60 to Rs.90/kg onion, you can think what will be the story of onion tragedy.

Note- now onion, a rich people commodity………

A falling eyelash: a wish!

Wish wish wish……a falling eye lash! Quickly clutch it, set it on top
of your hand, clo
se your eyes and WISH…..when someone softly pick up a fallen eye lash from the cheeks by pinching softly with two fingers, asking you to close your eyes with the act of placing the lash on your hand. You close your eyes and a sweet smile stretches your lips……you make a wish and blow the eye lash with the hope that it will carry the message to GOD……IS IT TRUE? Can a fallen eye lash carry my wish to GOD?
Mind is perhaps the fastest element in the universe. We human being just don’t know to stop thinking…..thinking what?....hmm! That’s another ball game again. Every one of us has a wish (not one actually, I or maybe you too have many) …no wonder if a wish is ‘building castles in the air’….wish is a wish. Dictionary say a wish is a want/ long for……economic terms like ‘unlimited wants/wish’ and ‘limited goods’ were like hammer during Durba madams lectures (economic professor). What I never learned from those sleeping tablets (I mean mam’s lectures) was “how to articulate my wish?” Still no regrets……
Neither dictionary nor economics lectures helped me to track the right definition of ‘WISH’ but thanks to myself…..my brain in the teacher, my heart is the monitor, my eyes is the student. It really worked! My brain taught me to wish for things which I know I can achieve in this life-time (not making castle in the air or a card house), my heart monitored the process by making me more patience and waiting for the right time to hit my wish, my eyes learned it well…..now I know the art of “wishing”……so I love to wish..I wish with confidence…..no more Marshall (economist) is required to gather the meaning of ‘WISH’…..no more helpless eyes to say “I wish I could…….”. But with bright eyes I say …..I wish to celebrate my new year in GOA, I wish to be a good PRM (public relation manager), I wish to give a good surprise to my dad and I wish to travel a lot and lastly I wish to write a book!........
To all my ‘fans’…oh sorry I mean ‘friends’ I just want tell you…..YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER OF YOURSELF AND WE NEED NOT DEPEND ON ANYTHING ON THE EARTH TO MAKE OUR DREAM or WISH COME TRUE…WHAT YOU NEED IS ONLY A HEART WITH LOADS OF GUTS! HAPPY WISHING…….

Government failure: a new trend and the leaders as trend setters.

A question always pops up in the mind….how many leaders (politicians)of India actually know what “democracy” connotes and denotes? Every political science book have one compulsory chapter i.e. DEMOCRACY. Well how many politicians actually have studied political science to know Aristotle’s definition of democracy? Never mind if the answer is in the ratio of 2:8 (2=know and 8=don’t know).
“India is the largest democracy of the world”……..merely remained a statement (I think). Democracy…… by the people, of the people, for people……..but where are the people gone now? Government is made and broken with ease. In the so called Parliamentary form of government the President is known as the bird in the golden cage, so are the people in democracy. Citizens don’t have a role to play in the working of the government (except going and pressing a button in the voting machine).
Politics have become a good career option for the people above 40 years (sometimes below 40). The recent trend in politics is “government failure in the states”. Whether it is Karnataka or Andhra Pradesh…….the trend is growing supper fast and credit goes to our trend setters who are our great leaders…..LEADERS….BLOODY TITLE….LEADER (lol). Behind all these dramas the most advantageous group is the media group…they are getting lots of news everyday…what can be better than this?
We can only say that “Sorry Aristotle….your definition of Democracy no more works in India. We better change your definition as…..by the politicians, of the politicians, for the politicians.”
PS- There is the change of monopoly/dictatorship in India in near future. Don't Jeopardize Democracy!
