WikiLeaks Era...

Documents released by Wikileaks speaks volumes about the DC and Barack Obama administration. It reveals more than what it could have hid. I learned more details on Rob Lorinov's blog. It suggests how the State Dept. poked every other counterpart of various nations.

• The documents further reveal that according to a US Embassy assessment from Moscow Medvedev “plays Robin to Mr. Putin’s Batman.”
• In another report North Korea’s leader Kim Jong il was described as a “flabby old chap” who has “physical and psychological trauma” due to a stroke.
• French President Sarkozy is a “thin skinned and authoritarian personal style” type leader according to the US embassy in Paris. 

As an Indian I was more concerned about what the DC thinks about us. The explosive WikiLeaks hit hard the Indo-US ties as one of the disclosures revealed that the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called India a ‘self appointed’ UNSC frontrunner and ordered spying of the country’s bid to become a permanent member of the body. Hillary directed US diplomats to spy??? Sounds so silly. WE should think seriously, why give this woman the time of day...

Others say Obama has offered a ticket to the UNSC contingent on India paying a ticket fee: it must support the US position on Iran and Myanmar. Wrong, and wrong again. Obama`s support is like a ticket for the first commercial flight to Mars: a favour no doubt, but one so far off in the future that most of us will be dead before it happens. Lets hope it was a great lesson for DC and may their counterparts of other states forgive them.

kuchh kar guzarne ko.....

Will we ever get a chance to hear some good news from the world of politics? First it was IPL, CWG-2010, then 2G spectrum scam, and now injustice in Ruchika molestation case. Will these erroneous stands end someday? From each of the above mentioned subject matters, one lesson we could learn is, Money and Power rules this nation, and should better think twice before calling it as biggest DEMOCRATIC. Noticing all these incidents happening around are provoking indeed and at the sametime you know there is nothing much you can do about it.

What made CBI take such stand in Ruchika’s case and what do they mean by saying  “The allegations could not be substantiated as per the documentary evidence and oral testimony of witnesses". Justice was expected atleast here in the case of the budding tennis player. 

 Jayalalitha Offering UPA a support and asking to sack Raja is a strong sign of acquiring throne and nothing else. Can AIADMK ever be loyal to BJP-aka NDA? About Raja! there is nothing much left to speak about the tainted and beleaguered Union Telecom minister who made the country bear a loss of worth 1,40,000 crores. 

IPL4 controversy is one such easy chapter to analyze how well Power and money rules the world. Lalith Modi, the brain child of IPL was thrashed by BCCI Supremes who was being given all credit for the invention of a money minting machine called INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE. Isn’t that for money, fame by the people in power?

When driving down life’s highway, rip off the rearview mirror, bcoz you can never go forward looking back. In other way we can say, when life throws you lemons make lemonade. Dying to hear something good…may be in the form of Thumbs-up to India’s bid for permanent UNSC seat and/or big statistics in medal tally @ Guangzhou Asian games. 

Khoon Chala - Rang...

kuchh kar guzarne ko khoon chala khoon chala
aankhon ke sheeshe mein utarne ko khoon chala
badan se tapak kar, zameen se lipatkar
galiyon se raston se ubharkar, umadkar
naye rang bhar ne ko khoon chala khoon chala
 
khuli-si chhoT lekar, baRi-si tich lekar ahista ahista
sawaalon ki ungli, jawaabon ki mutthi
sang lekar Khoon chala
kuchh kar guzarne ko khoon chala khoon chala
 
kuchh kar guzarne ko khoon chala khoon chala
aankhon ke sheeshe mein utarne ko khoon chala
badan se tapak kar, zameen se lipatkargaliyon se raston se ubharkar, umadkar

khoon chala khoon chala
