An ex -filmmaker, ex - Television Producer, Dappler in advertising, now a avid photographer and a traveller. This one person has a lots of views on all things.
@igorbobic "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"
By all means run a bulldozer over Delhi Gymkhana. But don’t give the bullshit of exclusivity or privilege or tax payer money. If thats the standard we are living by then shut down Constitution Club; demolish the CSOI where govt land was given at throw away price to babus; shut down DSOI; take back all newspaper properties on BSZ Marg; Take back all lands given to NGOs which are profit centres; demolish IIC and Habitat Centre; stop subsidised food in parliament. MPs get paid so why should their food be subsidised? if they cant afford it, step down from parliament and do something that pays you enough. Shut down the Air Force and Army Golf Clubs, Santushti Centre, Race Club, and the Delhi Flying Club where no one flies anything. The DGC is being targeted because someone has an axe to grind and didnt get membership. Now its being made an elite vs non-elite fight which it isn't. But since we all want to play Bolshevik commies or are inspired by CCP and Khmer Rouge to demolish everything nice, decent, genteel, lets do a comprehensive job of it. Make it all a animal shelter which would warm the cockles of Pol Pot's heart. But please don’t give the BS of security because that is total hogwash. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
India is on a new quest. And it feels like progress.
The industrialist who once built something real, who actually understood risk and reward, has figured out a simpler way to exist. And grow. Bow early, smile at the right rallies, donate handsomely, show up when called, cheer for the visionary and your empire stays intact. Loans get cleared. Defaults are forgiven and forgotten. Rivals develop strange problems. It costs nothing except a small tradeoff of intelligence.
The bureaucrat who once believed that merit was the only ladder has found a much faster one. You don't need to perform. You don't need to deliver. You take the fast elevator. Be available, aligned, and enthusiastic about the right things at the right time. For the right wing. The posting comes. The seniority follows. Hardly anyone makes a noise. All good.
The young man who was promised jobs and received nothing has found that there is work after all. Break something for the right people and there will be no case against you. Do it with enough noise and there might even be a future in it. A party ticket - who knows. Vandalism has indeed become a career option for a generation that was given no other.
The professor who spent a lifetime building arguments has learned that silence is the safer course. No controversy means no phone calls at night, no transfer orders, no sudden reviews of funding. The institution breathes easier. So does the pension and post retirement placements.
The judge has learned that certain verdicts age better than others. Retirement is long and post retirement life can be very comfortable if you were quietly useful to the right people at the right moments. Nothing dramatic. Just a lean here, a delay there, a particular reading of a particular clause, a few biased verdicts.
Everyone is running the same calculation. How much intelligence can I surrender and what exactly do I get for it. And the answer keeps coming back favourable. So the experiment continues, station by station, person by person, institution by institution.
This is not decay in the way we usually mean it. Decay suggests something unintended, beyond control. This is more deliberate than that. Everyone chose this. Everyone is still choosing it every single morning.
India is not falling. India is on a very specific journey, one where the destination is absolute idiocy and the remarkable thing is how many rewards there are along the way. At every stop someone gets something. A contract, a posting, a verdict, a tenure, a ticket, a bail, an RS seat, a possibility to enter the washing machine.
And so nobody gets off. The journey continues. And the distance from intelligence keeps growing, and it feels, to most people who are watching from the sidelines, like progress.
Narendra Modi, in my opinion, is the best Prime Minister India has ever had and perhaps ever will have. He is a true saffron warrior who prioritizes Hindus and Hinduism, even over the basic development that citizens deserve. He also ensures that leaders who could not receive proper education earlier in life get the opportunity to govern states so they can learn many new things along the way. He has built a remarkable foreign policy by aligning closely with the USA and helping establish its superpower status again to counter China and other rising nations. He attends both big and small inauguration functions to ensure he is closely monitoring every development happening across the country. He also shows great respect and affection toward celebrities and businessmen, often attending their weddings and functions to express his admiration and support. He is truly a gem, and we should respect him even more than we already do.

Yesterday, Adani bought Jaypee Group for Rs 14,535 Cr
But Vedanta had bid around Rs 17,000Cr, over Rs 2,000 Cr MORE than Adani
Yet their higher bid lost and Adani won the bid despite a lower bid!
So how did the lowest bid win one of India's largest bankruptcy deals?

मैं अपने जीवन में तीन ऐतिहासिक बदलाव होते हुए देखना चाहता हूँ:
1. नरेंद्र मोदी को लोकसभा चुनाव में हारते हुए देखना, ताकि यह साबित हो सके कि लोकतंत्र में कोई भी नेता जनता से बड़ा नहीं होता।
2. सत्ता में रहते हुए किए गए हर अन्याय के लिए नरेंद्र मोदी को सजा मिलते हुए और जेल जाते हुए देखना चाहता हूँ, ताकि यह साबित हो सके कि देश में सचमुच कानून का राज स्थापित है।
3. नफरत और विभाजन की राजनीति को बढ़ावा देने के कारण RSS पर आजीवन प्रतिबंध लगता हुआ देखना चाहता हूं ताकि यह साबित हो सके कि भारत का लोकतंत्र संविधान, समानता और भाईचारे के मूल्यों पर चलता हैं।
@Tsering_gaphel Kuldeep Sengar is released within one day of hearing but a genius like Sonam Wangchuk is kept in jail to teach a lesson to dissenters. We understand everything and we will not forget.
Sonam Wangchuk is in Jail for 90 days now...Today is Christmas eve. He is away from his wife, family & friends on this festive occasion ....The supreme court is not able to decide whether he deserves it or not! ...

but it took the High Court of Allahabad less than a day to decide that the rapist Sengar is unfairly locked in courts when the UP elections are looming....
