Hi all ,
Its been a very tough week .. I was reading the dailies today, and one thing I found was day by day , media shows that our country is no where near our dream of becoming a developed nation.. Everywhere its the same , money laundering , corruption , lack of proper organization , all things which makes us feel like our country is going to dogs !! :-( Pity us..
Many instances grabbed my processor's attention , but some are retained in my storage,while the rest jus volatile.. May be its the nature of human mind , that only what interests me , is stored in my memory , god knows .. To mention a few ,
1. Eden Gardens which is one of our great cricketing grounds , was found to be way below the standard , to host a world cup match , in fact not even a international match , leave world cup.. Its another negative thing , which our country is portraying to the world, we all know what mess it was in Common Wealth games .. It was just some months before , when our country was exposed to the world as one of the corrupt countries in the world, and inefficient in organizing as wel as dealin with them..
When countries like Bangladesh has made all its stadium renovated , we have put a sorry face , and still say that it wil be ready before the day of the match.. Consider our own BCCI's IPL auction , it was organized well before , date venue , logistics , and transport for all owners , etc. was arranged with perfection , this much more important than that is delayed..
2. Speaking of BCCI's IPL auction , no wonder again irregularities exists there too , Srinivasan , owner in CSK , is a member of Governing Council of IPL , he is involved in all meetings , he also plays a role in making decisions regarding IPL.. Nobody is questioning him , why he being in BCCI's job, a govt job , holds stake in CSK , while people blasted Shashi Tharoor . The thing is , the owners were told like , players will be grouped by their merit , as in one pool of players wil be batsmen , other one bein bowlers, and las one as all-rounders , but just before the day of auction , BCCI sent mail to all owners that , it wil not remain like that , and it will be a mixed pool , and asking the owners to reframe their strategy , and interesting thing to note is that , CSK retained almost all its players , while the rest wer strugglin a lot , it seems to me like Srinivasan ,
who would have been in the decsn making body , would have known about this ages before than the rest..
And they have sent Modi , out of this , as if he did all this alone, Srinivasan surely would have been his partner in crime..
3. Swiss bank accounts , I came to know of these accounts only thru movies , thanks to that.. When Swiss bank said that , it could reveal the names of account holders , to the country which they belong , Indian govt. didn approach them for years, and finally this year they have done it , ( atleas a improvement ) , govt. says it wont reveal the names to public , says about a confidentiality clause between the govt and the bank , leave that , govt says , its action will be to tax the people with that amount taken into consideration as their asset, and wil not question the source for it !! We have proof that they have been indulging in illegal activities, money laundering , and tax evasion , still the govt says, it cant do anythin except tax... I wonder why the govt is acting like this !!!
4.The worst for the last , burning of additional collector by mafia during raids to uncover illegal hoarding of kerosene and petrol.Sonawane,additional collector , had spotted a person taking out fuel from a parked oil tanker and questioned him. As the man fled away, Sonawane immediately alerted the local inspector to the spot to investigate.
As he was waitin, some people came on motorcycles and started beating him up, then poured kerosene on Sonawane and torched him.. A sad end to a good officer..
This occurred jus before our Republic day !!
Is this a way to celebrate our Republic day, no wonder the whole week is been been bad for the country, thank God , nothing bad happened during Republic Day parade.
With more and more things , coming up , all we need is a Wiki-Leak in India..Hope something of that sort turns out soon , to disclose the tax evading people , and all those Nira Radia tapes, let atleas this year bring a change to our country..
Jai Ho !!

yes its high time.... people need to jump the gun and roll up their sleeves to do something regarding the situation.... some kind of revolution needed asap...
ReplyDeleteAdd CVC also to that list. For all irregularities, the Govt is trying to find a person whom it can blame, and say some reason for it. Or, just leave it don't care.
ReplyDeleteIn the leaked tapes of Nira Radia too, they discussed on giving portfolios of ministership. But the Prime Minister is no where in the scene, in decision about it.
At last, Sonia, and other ministers to earn money, PM to get the blame.
add hasan ali too...wy wikileaks? everybody knows who is the culprit??? a mass revolt like french n russian revolution shud happen
ReplyDeleteA gud thot to ponder about! But unfortunately tis s wt v ll continue to face for years to cme hw much evr v keep debating on tis.
ReplyDeleteThose of us who are concerned abt tis do not hv the power to do sumthn abt it.. And those who hv power do not seem to be so concerned abt it..!
All can talk abt bringin the change , but who s gonna bell the cat actually remains a big question??!!!
Spreading these information and creating awareness is a good task.
ReplyDeleteToday's media, especially in Tamil Nadu, are supporters of DMK. The spectrum is discussed by all media because, those media other than in Tamil Nadu, like NDTV, Times Now, and other language media started talking more about it. So, the Tamil magazines also spread it for its business.
But generally most of the magazines in TN are supporters of DMK.
Most of the media belongs to their family.
I feel the best way to create awareness, especially among youngsters is the Internet?(Buzz, Blogs, etc). We can expect them to be neutral to some extent.
to all those who want to revolt.. stop working sit for fasting, go to jail n be in loss of pay for months together.. seivingala? maatomla?
ReplyDeleteappa idha pathi pesalam, ezhudhalam, en padam kooda edukalam aana nirutha mudiyadhu..
Oru Sankar Padam Patha Feeling iruku siva!!!!Enna ponniyam padam mathumtan oodum!!!Nothing else can be done!!!! :(
ReplyDeleteGood Work Keep Going!!
Macha, write something good too about our country...
ReplyDelete@madhu : Perfectly.. only thru internet , we can go agains media in DMK,els watever u do , tats bound to go un-noticed . . Perfect recent example is Kavalan movie promo, only fans did thru web, which made the news tat movie released..els no way people wd hav known.
ReplyDeleteperfectly put! but shiva... Our Country citizens themselves are not ready to go in for a revolution kind! tooo involved in day-to-day works! though every person needs a change, they not ready to co-operate/work for the same! ultimately, wasted talks! talk about the talk show on Times Now, every night(i suppose). Is there any fruitful outcome of such talks/debates? at the end of it, we would realize we wasted one hour of our time!
