Started with,

And then,

Perhaps, Only if Fantasizing was Close to Reality -

If Ramesh Arvind could get back to life in America America, or Ganesh in Mungaaru MaLae...y not me..BUT...@ the end of the day, I have to live life for real...and its not gonna be easy...the heaviest moment easily that I am going thru...and only few people close to me know what I am living thru...

The art of surviving Helplessness???

Its just that feeling of extreme helplessness and tied up mindset..that makes one feel extremely despondent and sulking... just feel like laughing at the range of reasons...life as messed up as the holy UPA government...

So Called 'Career' interlinked to Global Macro Economic conditions - uncertainity is the name of the game - but they call it 'New Normal' ('they' are figuring out what it is ;)), falling rupee, Increasing fuel prices, 33% YoY jump of food prices, 10+% fuel hikes, some other hikes forgotten!, pity all the fellow souls working at institutionalized organisations which runs on machine bureaucracy (which only offers uncrafty, confused answers)...the crony capitalism, the political mafia that sucks, the media that is sold out.. is there an 'Art of Surviving helplessness' Course around? do let me know, coz only laggards and haggards can survive with the thought that something profound, intriguing, startling is gonna happen...huh.

Are all the Marketing Communication Gurus Dead?

What to Say, whom to say???

The song aptly describes my current mood...

End Game BSY...

He Fought, he owned a cause, he built a party, he became a mass leader, he won, he delivered fairly well  (despite the media, the mining mafia, the party internal bickering), he cried, he survived, he quit the seat, he strategized, he is sulking....I think he needs to Move On....

Yes, BSY... firstly, thank you for bringing BJP this far in South India. Thank you for all the pro people, pro farmer budgets you gave, thank you for holding on the party despite the odds from Bellary strong men. May be time alone will tell if there was a larger conspiracy to oust you or rather your inner voice should tell you if it was your own making...

I have a few Qsns -

A party that believes in Nation First, Party Next and Self Last, a Rashtriya Swayam Sevak - does your current demeanor reflect well Mr BSY?

• You yourself went thru the trauma from Reddy brothers, was there a need to take legislators to a resort? more so when the state is reeling under Draught and governance deficit?
• PM's photo in your office is Ok, but one of Sonia Gandhi? but Why?
• Pooh Poohing the party leadership? Remember BJP and Left are the only parties which believes in cadre based party setup with little scope for dynasty whims(though you got your son an MP ticket!)
• Throwing a spanner in the wheel every now and then and hence preventing the incumbent CM from delivering - it hurts the state, the people, the party, are you aware?

What is that you want to decide? What is that you want to see? Thrown out from party and gain sympathy?

Mr BSY, a barking dog's 'Often Bytes' may not be sustainable, even among your own followers. Remember the way the other mass leaders like Uma Bharthi, Kalyan Singh, Keshu Bhai Patel etc faded into oblivion... Party may have suffered, but not at the cost of the discipline, not at the cost of the image - so much that the urban electorates connect to. I believe you are done with your chance, you can don the role of a mentor and may be help in delivering improved governance..  I do hope you come clean and sincerely believe better sense prevails until then...perhaps, only if power was not so lusty and enticing...

The Price for not Being 'Normal'?

Image Source - http://www.careerattraction.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/seek-truth.jpg

Yes, its about the unfortunate demise of KAS officer Mr Mahantesh. A life cut short for not being normal (Call it New Normal - ala the corporate lingo..).

Its extremely sad, disgusting and feeling of helplessness again. Is this the price one has to pay for being honest? This is the second death of a senior officer in Karnataka in the last few weeks (earlier one being that of a forest officer near Dandeli reserve forest).

Prima Facie Mr Mahantesh was attacked by real estate mafia - for investigating alleged illegal cooperative layouts formation/allocation mafia - including the one of BEML real estate dealing which eventually reached the high office of PMO...

The larger question is where is it gonna take us? Is this what the 'New Normal' will be like? Be honest, be upright, live with integrity and pay one's life?

In this country, Corruption kills....May the soul rest in peace, such sacrifices will be remembered...atleast from my heart....You are no less than a true soldier who served this country... Thank You.

Satyam-Eva Jayate....

http://satyamevjayate.in/

A short thought on this....At the outset, I would like to congratulate Aamir Khan for yet another master piece which has a message and a specific theme/purpose...truly Aamir Style...I have been a fan of him for years now - of all his classics like Lagaan, Rang De Basanti, Taare Zameen Par and so on...That he takes Rs 3 crore per episode or so (as i heard it) is a different matter and for another day...

Well, my point is something else now...I wonder what kind of nation are we? The first two episodes - about Female Foeticide and Child Pysical Abuse...Was it any less known a fact about these societal issues? On the similar lines rampant corruption as an Evil - was it known any lesser  before Anna Hazare movement last year? Why is it that it requires for us Indians (- more so the middle class, the urbanites and the so called educated) - a wake up call or say a 'mass frenzy' / wave to create awareness?

My greatest worry is that the current wave of Satyameva Jayate will die down its natural death after the 13-14 planned episodes...remember, the way Anna Hazare movement lost its steam...i think this will do no good to us Indians. We need holistic thought-process to collectively bring about a change...it requires an attitude change..the anna hazares, the amir khans will do their bit....but the larger cause is won if all of us can follow the three things - one - live a good sensible life with values and ethos, two - think macro, i mean think from a bigger perspective of being a responsible citizen, three - influence the people around to bring about a change. I think with this, we can even remotely think about moving in the right direction and collectively address the social issues. Unfortunately, i am still speaking in the senses of 'educated', 'elitist', 'urbanite' civilians...God save and help us - for the larger masses in this country are the ones who do not belong to the former categories...and neither do they watch 'Star' 'Plus'...

This Way N That Way

Well, couple of years ago, i started a blog page...I thought i would be a regular blogger. Life had other plans and the enthu faded :) For, it was too longish, too political :) Off late, i have been using FB as a micro blogging page - remember, it asks everytime - 'Whats on your mind?!' :) ... @ the moment, i again feel that i need to get back to a blog page, to share my piece of mind...and hence 'This Way N That Way'.....i will use this page to share my thoughts more regularly (hope so ;)) and also keep it short...not to mention, that i will share my piece of mind on every aspect/topic on which i believe i have a point of view, may be including 'personal' reflections on life... perhaps, time permitting...
