AAP - The Politics Of Hawabaazi And Dramebaazi


When the new party formed as an outcome of India Against Corruption movement, named as Aam Aadmi Party, we felt quite romantic about it. It was formed with a promise of getting India rid of corruption. There were a lot of expectations from it. People thought ultimately there will be a party which will hear common man instead of big corporates and industrialists. So, people have trusted a man called Arvind Kejriwal not once, but twice!

During the 2015 Delhi assembly election, The AAP in its manifesto gave several hawabaazi like providing free water, free WiFi, cutting the electricity Bill to half, opening more schools, colleges and hospitals. From aam aadmi, aam aurat to aam bacche there was something for everyone. All this was to lure voters. And, seriously all these promises were no less than winning a jackpot. So, they have voted AAP.

Without hesitation, I can say that the people of Delhi have trusted a wrong man. The so-called aam aadmi can't believe that a person of such high popularity and a Chief Minister uses foul language like saala and kamina. He is a dramebaaz but unlike other actors, he acts in the real world.

During his Swearing-in ceremony, Kejriwal sang the song “Insaan Ka Insaan Se Ho Bhaichaara”(nice song, not sung well though). If we listen to the lyrics, we find this is quite contrasting to the current situation in AAP. Can it be called Bhaichaara? If it can, then we have no Bhaichaara, only hatred.

The credibility of Kejriwal is in danger. We all are aware of his U-turns. But we still saw a good and honest man in him. That's why he is enjoying a thumping majority in the Delhi assembly which other parties can only just dream about.

    Nice post. In two minds about Kejriwal. The man who has been elected as the CM of Delhi and had been entrusted as a caretaker of Delhi and considered responsible for bringing change out there is also the one who is unable to handle the conflicts and dramas within his party. How does one believe then that he will make Delhi prosper?

The One And Only Viru

Virender Sehwag came as a nightmare for any bowlers, regardless of his pace, spin or looks. The madness of the bowler after taking his wicket could be easily seen on the field. It was a kind of mixed reaction of happiness and spewing out the frustration built by Sehwag. But the dignity of this champion, I presume, is not preserved in the way he retired. The BCCI should have given him a match in which his retirement should be officially announced. We can say that he has taken a right decision because a player of such class can't play Ranji and IPL all his life, well nobody can play even international cricket all his life. He as a youngster played and entertained us to the fullest. Sehwag had represented India in 104 test matches and 251 in ODI with the top score of 319 and 219 respectively. He holds multiple records including the highest score made by an Indian in test cricket, 319 against South Africa, which was also the fastest triple century in the history of International ...

Bihar Liquor Ban - Alcoholism and Society

Disclaimer : No alcohol has been used during the writing of this post. I don't know why I didn't cover this story earlier. Probably because on this topic, I didn't want to write in haste and as sayings go “better late than never”, I came up with this post. And while writing this article, sometimes I felt an alcoholic haze, that is why you should read this carefully! Let us begin with the definition of 'Alcoholism'. Casually, the process of consuming alcoholic drinks is called alcoholism. But, to be precise, alcoholism is a medical condition in which there is an abnormal addiction to alcohol, and taking it in small quantity very occasionally is not. Simply put, if you can live without alcohol, you are not an alcoholic. “Alcoholism is the effect of excessive intake of alcohol on the functions of the body and personality.” ~ W.C. Reckless “Alcoholism is a condition in which the individual has lost control over his alcohol intake in that he is constantl...

Why Religion Should Not Be Downplayed

When you were a child and your parents told you stories about god, you listened to that with great curiosity and excitement, but as you grow older and started seeing everything with the rational eye of science, you realise that it was a lie, and so every religious event and ritual appears to you as an act of stupidity. Still, you keep worshipping the men or women whom you were told to worship as Gods. Why? Have you considered what is the significance of religion? Religion teaches us that God has created this universe and he is running it in his own way. The Sun, The Moon, Stars, Planets, Living creatures  — bacteria, viruses, plants, animals, humans are all the creation of God. We are just doing things ordained by him. It may appear that we are influencing things, but the reality is we, ourselves, are influenced by some heavenly forces. Indians, especially Hindus, are obsessed with rituals and other religious activities like holding fast and going to temple. Some of ...

India Learning To Live With Air Pollution

After Diwali came the inevitable cloud of smog in Delhi. The fact that smog is going to arrive any moment was known to every single person living in Delhi, just the intensity of this smog was a bit surprising. And why not? The toxicity of air was 14-16 times more than the safe limit. The PM 2.5 level skyrocketed making people vulnerable to various respiratory problems. Usually when the smog checks in, a translucent greyish layer of air cover the city. But this winter, this layer was quite thick, almost opaque. As this year's smog came right after Diwali, a number of people directly blamed Diwali's crackers for it. On the other hand, some remain critical of the farmers of Punjab and Haryana who burned their paddy releasing poisonous gases in the air that reached Delhi through the wind. While both burning crackers or crops fairly invite criticism not because they polluted the air but because these actions could have been avoided or minimized. Diwali is celebrated everywhe...

The Indian Society And The Struggle Of Our Sports Fraternity

India, the world’s second-most populous nation, fails to show its dominance in sports. In fact, India's performance remains terrible except in few games. So, what's holding India back when it comes to competing in world sporting events like the Olympics? First, it's the conservative Indian mindset of the Indian society. You might be aware of the saying in India “ Padhoge likhoge banoge Nawab, kheloge kudoge banoge kharab ” which translates to “You can be a king if you study, can be spoilt if you play games.” Social life of a person who took the plunge of making a career in sports in India can be challenging and demotivating. An Indian parents or teachers, being part of the society, don't consider sports as a career. They have the biggest influence in a child's future ambitions. They may scold the child that “playing a sport will get you nowhere in life, but to make a life you need to be good in academics”. In other words, young Indians are discouraged from playing s...
