Well, it has been a long time. But I am glad to be back again. Hope nobody missed me.
I have had a lot on my mind recently. But I narrowed down to 2 things for today’s post.
But that was not to be. Now, Anna wants to provide a political alternative without himself holding any office or position. To me, its like what Gandhi did during independence.
I have my concerns and I have my doubts. Instead of re-asserting them again, I think I would just redirect you to another post. Its from one of my favorite journalist, Sagarika Ghose.
I don’t tend to agree whole-heartedly to everything she has to say, but she does make a convincing argument. I do believe that we need a truly inspirational leader – one with a mission or a purpose that will bind everyone beyond caste, creed, race or religion. Sagarika is right in saying corruption, even though it’s a curse for a common man, its not something that can unite 1b people to help vote a single party in power.
Do I have solution to this problem? Not really. But I would love to give SRK the country’s rein and see what happens. This guy is a natural diplomat. He is arrogant too. But he knows how to earn and keep people’s trust and loyalty. What else do want from our representatives?
Really impressed with Mary Kom, though. My heartiest congratulations to her and her family. I am also pleasantly surprised with Saina. Badminton and Women Boxing - Two sports which I thought didn’t even have international participation from India. I am loving it!
But I am also depressed for 2 reasons
I have had a lot on my mind recently. But I narrowed down to 2 things for today’s post.
Anna
To me, Anna represented a face and a voice to the middle-class’s frustration over corruption and government apathy. I was hoping and praying that his approach of Satyagraha would bring the change we all wanted.But that was not to be. Now, Anna wants to provide a political alternative without himself holding any office or position. To me, its like what Gandhi did during independence.

Olympics
Once again, the Indian Olympic team for hockey disappointed us. It didn’t even get past the preliminary stages after losing all 5 games scoring mere 6 goals against an aggregate of 18. Also disappointed with the tennis team. So much drama but absolutely no action.Really impressed with Mary Kom, though. My heartiest congratulations to her and her family. I am also pleasantly surprised with Saina. Badminton and Women Boxing - Two sports which I thought didn’t even have international participation from India. I am loving it!
But I am also depressed for 2 reasons
- We don’t seem to be winning any team events. Not even as doubles in Tennis or badminton for example.
- Its even worse that we see rewards going out to individuals rather sports.
