Incredible India!


He is able who thinks he is able.

Have you heard about Julian Assange? Wikileaks? Black Money? Assange is the Editor-in-Chief of the novelty Wikileaks website. But, thats not the concern, instead what concerns me more is his latest statement(s) over the black-money issue in regard to India.
Until now, I knew that India has about 400 Lac Crore black money deposited in the swiss banks. But, Mr. Assange iterated the amount to be $1500 billion! Isn't that flabbergasting? I feel it is! Some quickies in connection to this pretext:
  • India is the biggest depositor of the black money in the world.
  • The net black money generated in India is more than that of Germany, Russia, United Kingdom, Italy, China, Brazil and Ukraine all combined.
  • The total amount of black money India has supercedes the national foreign debt and that too by 13 times.
In case, if we get the money back, then what we CAN do with it:
  • 30 years of tax free nation.
  • 100 crores to each village all across the country.
  • 50,000 crores each district.
  • or 2.5 lac to each family (no stats available for bachelors!)
  • 4 lane roads from all villages to Dilli.
  • No electricity shortage for upto 2100 AD
Facts keep building with passage of every single second! I am not really sure if we will get back our money and that too soon, but certainly I want it back. In the coming days wikileaks might reveal the names of Indians holding thier foreign accounts brimmed with black money. I wont be shocked if Mr. Vilasrao Deshmukh, Mr. Sharad Pawar or Mr. Ahmed Patel make it to that list.
Sometimes I really feel that we have a comlex and complicated constitution, laws and legislature.
Aristotle marked Democracy as a perversion. O Aristotle! I get u now!

कलमाड़ी साहब पटियाला हाउस में पेशी के लिए जा रहे थे । अचानक ही उनपर किसी शख्स ने चप्पल बरसा दी। 1977 ki यादें ताज़ा हो गयी होंगी! चप्पल चप्पल पे लिखा है खाने वाले का नाम!




Some better day. Some better thoughts.
Take Care!

Aaj Ki Baat..

So, after a gap of generations, we have done it again. We are the champions, the best in the entire cricketing world! This victory does not get barred to cricket alone. Had we not won it, a nation in agitation would have lost few seldom moments of pride and smiles. Blessings, we did it!

Meanwhile, just got to know, the big packet of a bread now costs rs.35! Anyways, thats not my take now! Jab 50 ka hoga tab is baare me chinta vyakt karenge! ;)

In the news, Anna Hazare has initiated his fast-unto-death from april 5. He has gathered a whole lot of support from the entire country. The JAN LOKPAL BILL the cause, the reason. I got to know that prior only Gandhi and JP Narayan had gathered a mass support to such degree. But, it might just be too early to put him in that league. Nonetheless, the valour needs to be commended. Sitting about half a thousand miles away from him, in my comfort, this is the best I can do.

The government is in a stir over this issue. They dont reply to Hazare's letters to consider his request. But in digitalised form "they are ready to discuss the matter and are open to suggestions!" The PM has already constituted a GoM(group of ministers) to take stock of the matter and the litigations. And the greatest of the ironies that emerges is Sharad Pawar is the chairman of this GoM! Are we living in a funny nation?

Courage is great, greater the thought and greatest the ideology!

At 72, Anna surely has what it takes to be that great. Recalling his past, reformations as an environmentalist, RTI torch-bearer, fundamentalist and social activism greatness is definitely not what drives him and that in itself is great! Nonetheless, not all protests succeed.. Darshan Singh Pherumann died after 74 days of fast whereas Mamta Banerjee succeeded after days 25! Politics mere yaar cheez alag hai!

Please check out this link and atleast know what the cause is!
Hume pata hai "isse kya hoga? kaun sa desh badla ja raha hai" Par kya ye behtar nahi hoga ki hum kam se kam ye to jaane ki aakhir baat hai kya!

अति सक्षम और अति बुद्धिमान लोगों से बदलाव की आकांक्षा नहीं करनी चाहिए !
Do give it a thought!!

On a better tomorrow!
Take Care! : )
