** Greetings :: Happy 2011 **

Dear,

I wish you and all your family members a very, very happy, healthy and prosperous 2011. May God bless you with all the good things in life and the capability to understand the good things that is blessed upon us, which would eventually make us more responsible.

Here, I can not help but think as to what a wonderful nation that we are blessed with, but has only left it to the corrupt elements. Now, the corrupt elements have become so monstrous that we have been left with no choice but to watch the indignity with silence. I do NOT belong to the school of thought that believes individual votes can change the fate and destiny of this nation. Votes cannot change the corruption that has penetrated every layer and every root of this society. Personally, all I can do is to remain a good citizen and believe that more and more people will think that way, which MAY prolong some of the left out good things in our society to prevail a little longer.

Amidst the looting Generals, Robbing Ministers, bluffing Judges, cheating Journalists who fall prey to the lure of money - we also do get to see one or two good things that is happening in our society.... I wish we get to see more of such good things in 2011.


Jai Hind.

** Barkha Dutt : What a Fall !! **

I had a huge respect and regard for this lady, Barkha Dutt, till recently. She, I always thought, was a person of good integrity. But, the "Nira Radia Tapes" controversy has brought Barkha down in my esteem. In my opinion, this lady has fallen from grace. Next time when we watch her conducting any interview (if at all if she does) on any issues or goes about questioning moral values - no doubt, I will have a wry smile on my face. The Nira Radia tapes have only reiterated what this Nation stands for - corruption, filth, manipulation and poor governance at every level. We do have a person with civil cases against him entrusted with the responsibility of over seeing corruption cases in our country. Well, that is not something new - don't we have Ministers with criminal records?? All these underlines just one thing - quite a lot of people have got together to destroy this nation, come what may!! The legacy of Gandhi is gone long ago. Truth, Honesty, Integrity, Values, etc have all been forgotten. Our future is very clear from what we have as our present. We do not want our enemy nation to destroy us - we are capable of it ourselves. Jai Hind.
