Dirty Politics

Its been a complete mess in Pakistan with the emergency imposed. As an Indian if you think that you live in better place, then think again. Look at the “state” of Karnataka. I mean, the way BJP and JD(S) have been functioning for last 2 months or so, its really a shameful chapter in Indian democracy.

If you still what I am talking about then listen to this. JD(S) cheif Deve Gowda had established a coalition govertment with Congress 3 years ago. But 12 months in to power, his son decided that they had enough of secular agenda and went to BJP. Now, initially Gowda opposed this move, but later retracted his statements saying it is for the betterment of Karnataka. They had a power sharing “agreement” with BJP, which meant first the Janata Dal will have its CM for 18 months and for next 18 months BJP. Everything was going along nicely until, the time to handover the pwoer to BJP came closer.

Gowda father and son accused BJP of trying to kill them and refused tranfer power. Now, in such a situation any party with self respect would have taken out the support. But no. BJP waited. Their leaders were telling everyone, that the transfer will take place, they have faith in JD(S). Finally, when they realized the truth, the assembly had to be dissolved. Well, I thought the chapter is over now and new phase of election will determine the destiny of these pity parties. But little do I know about politics.............

BJP and JD(S) who accusing each other of treachery came together for one more time, and requested Karnataka Governor to revise his orders, so that BJP can form its government with the support of JD(S). The Governor obliged and Yeddiyurappa, the BJP leader became the first BJP CM in south India. But, yes but, only for 8 days. The new agreement between BJP and JD(S) was not enough for the 2 parties to be glued for next 17 months. JD(S) took out its support and rest is a part of India's hall of shame.

कुछ बिखरे सपने और आँखों में नमी है, एक छोटा सा आसमां और उम्मीन्दों की ज़मीं है, यूँ तो बहुत दोस्त है ज़िन्दगी मैं, पर जो खास है वाही पास नहीं है ....................

Sawai Ekankika’ 2013

So this year I completed a hat trick of watching the finals of Sawai . Like the previous 2 occasions, this too was a great experience. Most of the plays were good and the overall performance level was better than that of the 2012 finals. Most of the plays were based social issues like parenting, cynicism among the middle class, etc. Unlike the previous finals, not a single one was of romantic/love genre. Here is the list of finalists- Nat S. M. R. T. We missed this one as we were late. But Viraj's father told us, this was similar to the play " Natasamrat " but a modern version. Emotional Atyachar This was a story of an employee in an e-CRM firm which is hired by clients so that someone can communicate with their family. These clients are too "busy" with their work that they don't have time to speak with their wife/kids/parents.
