The Wish & The Battle Inside

Manu – Chairman Sona – Chief Executive Officer Rohit – Sona’s son (the to be chairman) Kapil and Diggaj   – Board members Kalu & Raja – The ex-workers of the factory now in jail (they were found to have duped the factory workers and were responsible for factories recent downfall in market) Hajji – The union leader Aru and Kira – Workers in the union, termed by others as Hajji’s hands. There was no solace for the factory workers in Rohit’s statement, “It was just a minor fire in the finance unit, such minor incidents do happen and we cannot do anything about it. We deeply regret for the loss of the life of the workers though. We will have a board meeting to decide the compensation for the victims; we have our sympathy with the workers.” While there was anger among many factory workers, the families who lost their sole bread earners were not able to check their tears and wails. Aru found something suspicious in the statement, ‘… such minor incidents do happen and we cannot ...

I was not one among the many Indians who felt euphoric after the government caved in to Anna Hazare's movement against corruption. I was skeptical of the government's move and they did not disappoint me either, they proved my theory right. My theory- that the government could sense the spark and the heat, so it immediately decided to extinguish it before it catches widespread fire and then remove the originators of this fire out of the system by any and all means possible. The Indian judicial system works in a simple manner, if someone stands for true justice, walk up beside them slowly and stab them in their heart, keep the culprits in a safe custody till then. This is how almost every movement, every agitation in our country dies. What chance does a country have when the good people do nothing? Common men have learned to bury their responsibilities with their silence. They need to learn to confront it and face the truth. They know how to fight for their food, they need to l...

Dear Team India, You know that cricket is celebrated like festival in India. It runs like blood in the veins of every Indian, be it rich or poor. No Wonder the anxiety and anticipation of India-Australia cricket quarterfinals on 24 th March 2011 overshadowed the death anniversary of Shahid Bhagat Singh that fell on 23 rd March, 2011 (his 80 th death anniversary). No one for once remembered, forget paying tribute, the young man who sacrificed his life at the age of 23 for independent India. The nation was enthralled with the anticipation of witnessing Sachin’s 100th century in international cricket and his 18000 run feast. Let’s not forget how many ‘havans’ and ‘special prayers’ were done for your victory against Australia in the quarterfinals. The martyrs of the past are now the part of history textbook but you the Indian Team are the current heroes of the Nation. We look up to you to give us something, a recognition of “sporty India”; a recognition apart from the “poor victims of...

Before I start, just to let you know that I was agitated in the morning by the way things were shaping up. My adrenaline was running high and I decided to go out there and watch the movie whatsoever be my fate. Also I would like to let you know what the word Terrorist means, to let you better decide who all are the terrorists, internal and external: Terrorists - A radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities. I read Mr Uddhav Thackrey's statement that the stir is spontaneous. He questioned CM Ashok Chavan "Why the government never showed this alacrity when thousands of farmers committed suicide in Maharashtra?" Valid, a very valid question but let me also ask you Mr Uddhav and Mr Balasaheb why was there no stir then, why didn't the Shivseniks stopped the thousands of farmers from committing suicide? Are you good only at destruction? Have you ever done a...
