The austerity mantra: Rahul Gandhi


It is a new process started by our politicians......We call it AUSTERITY........

The Gandhi scion travelled to Ludhiana from Delhi on Amritsar Swarn Shatabdi Express. The motto was to save the government funds in the era of recession. It is indeed appreciative that our khadi wearing people have finally entered the cost cutting mode alike the common mass working in the private sectors.

I agree he saved a lot of money but my question is was it really a worthy effort!

He travelled by Shatabdi convincing us that he also wants to understand the problems faced by common people......

Here i shoot my questions to Mr. Gandhi.....

1. Do you really think that people travelling in Shatabdi / Rajdhani represent the COMMON people?

2. Do you realise that how much problems it would have caused to the poor
(common) people, present at the railway station at that time because of your VVIP arrangements?

3. Do you realise that while your guards stood in the C-3 coach, what real time problems they caused to the passengers arriving during the last moments?

4. With seven men travelling with you, how much worth the entire travel was?

Please do not make assumptions that i am going cynical , rather, think....it is a food for thought....

JAI HIND.....

An Article by Shoba De--Me, Marathi

THIS WOMAN HAS GUTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me, Marathi written by Shoba De Correct me if I am wrong, Raj... but I consider myself an assal Marathi manoos. Born in Maharashtra to Maharashtrian parents etc. Proud to be Marathi (even though my language skills in my mother tongue are embarrassingly dodgy). I don't know how to make the perfect puran poli but I do love aamti.. This is clearly not enough anymore. Going by the checklist, I could be disqualified on several scores. I am married to a Bong, who has lived and worked in Mumbai for over 30 years (but alas, has not been appointed ambassador to the state of West Bengal yet!). He attends Durga Puja regularly and prefers maacher jhol to vangi bhaat. Fortunately, we don't have a daughter-in-law to name a college after, either in Kolkata or Mumbai.... And our children (like yours) did not attend Marathi-medium schools.. We employ people based on their competence, not caste or region. And I have never asked the vegetable vendor, bread...

Remembering Maa

Image
 Maa It's been 5 years now emotionally and 1 year physically that you left us. 5 years because you were never the same after Papa went away. I have seen what a devastated, depressed person looks like. I never saw the same sparkle in your eyes when you laughed, never the same zeal in doing anything. I never in the remotest of my thought imagined that I will ever see you like that.   Since 2014, I never prayed or bowed before Goddess Durga as she took away my father first and then you in 2019. I kept complaining to her for not seeing our pain and loss until few months before I realized that she saw your suffering and your pain which was much beyond ours. You taught us everything but you missed to teach us how to live without you. I have lots of things buried in my heart because there is no ears around for me.  Today i came across this poem which matches my grief. I am certain that both of you are together now, I am sure both of you are still tirelessly praising each ot...
