is IAC movement actually helping public?

          Now Indian youth have got a super hero in politics, Kejriwal resurrected as the terminator of corruption after the bereavement of Team Anna – Janlokpal movement, and Medias celebrate the hot topic by propagating and manipulating views than real news, Poor mango man (courtesy- # Vadra) is stunned by the rise of their new super hero Kejriwal, and the credit goes to the medias who eagerly trying to find new low in their business ethics. No doubt, the idea of exposing corruption is great, but are they exposing corruptions? Or just allegations! Kejriwal’s intent is right but what’s the modus operandi adapted to fight against corruption or to unmask corrupted politicians? Constructive confrontation is good, otherwise it is anarchism! Let me reiterate kejriwal’s objective is good and right, But I don’t see any follow up actions or a proper mode of operation to achieve his goal – eradicate corruption or to launch his political party.  Whatever allegations pointed by  Kejriwal could be right but unless he proves it, all efforts are in vain.  He claims he has got ample evidence against each one he alleged, then why can’t he prove it in court instead this media drama. (For those who claim judiciary is ineffective in India - that is anarchism, which is not going to help anyone)  Ofcourse I agree, as a common man he has all the right to expose corruptions in public, but he must make sure that his allegations are valid before exposing it in public and it has to be closed with proper follow up.
                         
           
           Needless to say, Indian politics is collusive; there are intrigues behind every corrupted politician across parties.  understanding the collusive ecosystem in Indian politics, people’s response to various social movements in the past, - take the case of jan-lokpal movement by Team Anna, Mullaperiyar issue between kerala and Tamilnadu, 2G Scam, Common wealth scam, these issues made a rage in public but ended up in atrocious debacle, Sad!-  Public will not remember scams and they easily forget and (forgive) it eventually, and hence  A Raja, Kanimozhi, and S Kalmadi are not being dragged to the media these days. I will appreciate the audacity of team IAC to bring this issue, provided if he can prove it as a fact and corruption, all this while he is throwing stones at people to get the media space to launch his political party.   The allegations  #1, Nexus between Vadra and  DLF   #2,  Salman Khurshid – financial irregularities of the NGO lead by his wife Louise ,  #3, Nitin Gadkari- Land acquisition. Look at the way these allegations being handled by congress and BJP. Haryana govt issued a clean chit to vadra, with out any investigation through a neutral agency, so as BJP to support to Gadkari. Sycophants of Ms. G,  PC Chacko and Digvijay singh were  eager to divert the media focus from the allegations against son in-law of Ms. G, than addressing it in the right way. PC Chacko fumbled in the NDTV debate, neither had he understood the questions by media nor he could answer a Yes or No, when answer options were given. 

              The allegations against Vadra is not a new story, Medias were aware of it long time back but no one requested for a probe, could be because of the clout of Gandhi family or the ruling party. Its surreal and fabulous, Vadra as a stand alone business man growing more than 500% just in few years, while Indian economy is in deep trouble.  

                             
           
             If the effort is to launch Kejriwal’s new political party, He needs to learn strategy from the old school itself, though he could influence the aspiring middleclass and youth. Because Indian political developments are unpredictable and people easily forget things when medias back off from the issue. For Team Kejriwal to survive in Indian politics, they need to prove all their allegations as facts, otherwise how do their party differ from the mundane opposition who throw stones at ruling party? And why would anyone stand by them?

PM's Speech to the nation - an Eye-Wash



Great speech by the CEO of india Inc, No doubt he is a great economist who can foresee the doomed future of Indian economy.  OK, is this reply convincing enough to common man?  Is this something what the common man expects from the government? I doubt! In first place why this explanations are coming to us after the rage by public and opposition party? Why not as a proactive information? The tall claims and false offers like FDI in retail will create 10 mn job offers, help farmers by investing 50% FDI money in building new warehouses, cold-storages, and modern transport systems to reduce the wastage of fruits and vegetables, which will in turn help farmers to get the right price for their products!  Its a big fart by UPA! These are just an eye-wash and survival strategy of congress!

Golden words by MMS:-

‘No government likes to impose burdens on the common man. Our Government has been voted to office twice to protect the interests of the aam admi. (Is he a hypocrite to make contrary words and action?)


What’s in it for the common man to smile, if he could understand those matrices well explained by MMS? Of course there are mixed opinions about the issue while people like Vijay Mallya, and Wallmart are enjoying the fruits of these policy changes and corporate india will be more than delighted to get another opportunity to squeeze the middle class!  But is this what real India needs? No, No, We need to improve the GDP by supporting agriculture and manufacturing to bring  economy back, while cutting down unwanted expenditures by govt and local governing bodies. (Mayawati’ spending  685 cr for Ambedkar park, Lucknow. when people in mehbullapur slum, lucknow are homeless )


 It seems our planning commission is more keen on killing agriculture and ruining the eco system. The reasons stated by MS Ahluwalia are pure hogwash, and MMS is swayed by people with vested interest. If his concerns were genuine there would have been more actions points to cop up the economic slowdown other than mere retail /aviation FDI  and diesel subsidy reduction. In current Indian political scenario, MMS - UPA is a puppet govt struggling hard to find a balance between allied parties. And congress and Digvijay singh is busy feeding their next PM candidate Amul Baba.

Happy Hartal


Happy Hartal day to my fellow brothers in kerala, I know its awkward to wish hartal, but these days its been pretty cool for keralites to wish happy Hartal each other as it is there almost every month and majority of the people will have a good time at home while they park themselves around a bottle of sparkling happiness.  (hope you have sufficient stock at home ;)), Unsurprisingly Hartal will fetch lime light to CPI (M) as the young turks will destroy  public transports, govt offices,...etc, while the common man watching it through the anti CPM news channels, (All TV channels other than Kairali TV are anti CPM;  Courtesy - CPM Leader, Kerala) and pity himself for being born in devil’s own country.  Finally Hartal will end up screwing the common man and giving mental orgasm to CPI (M) by ruining one working day of labourers and middle class.
              
             Reason behind ‘Hartal’?  P. Jayarajan, CPI (M) District secretary- Kannur and a Local leader, arrested on charges of concealing conspiracy to murder of Abdul Shukkoor,(RIP) an activist of the Muslim  Youth League. Frantic CPM Leadership called for a Hartal as a protest to the arrest, These days  it has been fashionable for  CPM to call short notice hartal on any stupid issue. Linking last few hartals by CPM, This is no different from the disturbances that Pinarayi made during the latest lavalin scam. (http://straightarrow-john.blogspot.in/2011/08/pinarayi-vijayan-demands-cms.html) When CBI requested permission to interrogate Pinarayi  Vijayan, they came up with 'Nava Kerala Yatra' to show the muscle power.  CBI had to take a ‘U’ turn on their move to question Pinarayi Vijayan because of CPM’s  loud mouth and muscle power. Lets keep our fingers crossed this time as Thiruvanchoor had shown the guts and kerala police was brave enough to arrest Jayarajan with solid evidence. 



 Why CPM leadership is getting nervous and acting cocky by calling hartal? It is essential for CPM to redirect the media focus and to magnify it as a civic issue, so that disturbances around hartal will hog public attention eventually get diverted from the topic. Who is P. Jayarajan to CPM to make such a huge noise? Jayarajan is leading CPM in Kannur district, CPM’s fort in kerala.  Jayarajan being  jailed and getting grilled by police will lead to reopen all CPM connected murder cases in north kerala in last one  decade, just like reopening murder cases in idukki district through the outrageous public speech by MM Mani, Ex- District Secretary, Idukki .

Future of CPM- Considering people’s objection against  hartal, internal clashes with in the party and disheartened wing lead by VS. We can sense that the future of CPM is jeopardised and doomed, I don’t see any serious action taken by CPM official leadership to restore the lost glory, and I would say CPM has already lost the plot in influencing the youngsters and the new generation, which is the future of kerala. Soon primary school kids will have one more lesson added to their curriculum – Dawn and Dusk of  CPM in India, inevitably CPM in India will soon sink into oblivion and fade away, How sad!!

Philanthropy Vs Spirituality

                I usually don’t share clichéd topics and photo shop works done by others. But I believe this one is worth sharing to spread an idea or the great vision by Mr Kochouseph Chittilappilli.  Let me make it very clear that, this is not to tarnish the reputation of the pseudo goddess “Mata Amritanandamayi”. I hope, most of you people understood that  what context I am referring to by seeing the picture below.


Nevertheless, for few of my friends who are not familiar with this man, refer the link below. 
KochousephChittilappilly By the way, I am not an advocate of Mr. Chittilappilly, I don’t know him personally.  But I strongly feel that I should put my modest effort in sharing his great vision and my thoughts about the bogus spiritual world and the dogma created by new age shepherds. 

Recalling my chat with my co passenger in cochin airport.  The article about Mr. Chittilappilly giving 5.5 Cr to bolster Mullaperiyar dam, in that day’s news paper lead him to make a random loose comment, that says ‘Seems Mr. Chittilappilly is aiming for some awards and its all for name & fame’ and got into his typical sarcastic smile, as if he has done a better job. I did not find any fun in continuing the conversation with him, but that made me think about the way people see things and tweak the truth. I asked him a question back that, ‘Being Christians (that includes me), just tell me one single example that any of our priests did something like this?’  They are supposed to be the mentors and most of them are living missionary life without the burden of family and kids, Can understand if a home maker is having apprehension to being a organ donor, quite natural. Ok forget about organ donation, monetary support to needy people while they struggle. I saw the smile fading away from his face and he had no answer to my question.  We wrapped up the discussion and topic as I was not comfortable going further. 


Connecting to the recent scam – Jacobite Bishop Kuriakose Mar Cleemis, former bishop of Idukki diocese, alleged that he had paid Rs 3 crore to the leadership to get the Bishop title four years ago – where this money come from ? where it goes? This reiterates that the decision I took long back was right, that i had stopped take blessings from scam masters, who contribute nothing to the society.  I really don’t know whether I will be out casted from the parish for being candid and speaking out (any revolutionary Jacobite brothers reading this?) Ok whatever, let me be democratic at least in thoughts. Here the concern is not only about the priests, where is our politicians?, yoga gurus? film stars? social activists? Hey don’t be afraid, I am not talking about organ donation, that is meant only for real men like Mr. Chittilippilly, what about sharing a few 100s/ 1000s to the needy people instead putting it into the pool of scams ?


Going back to the thought process of my co passenger - Awards, Name & Fame !!
Damn, Chittilappilly as a proven successful business tycoon, he could have made it in casinos of Las Vegas, buy an IPL team, Buy an antique diamond piece in auction from London, or anything  that money can buy to create a buzz in the national media. But he choose to be different, that made him offer support of Rs. 5 L to  Ms Reini, who donated a part of her liver to her niece.  Honestly I never had seen a thought leader like him, neither in politics nor in spirituality. Taking his own words- "I am for deeds, not mere words"..........Hats off to you.!!

UDF Victory in Neyatinkara

              The latest by- election and UDF victory in Neyattinkara, Tvm, clearly shows Tvm ites are level-headed and medias in kerala do a wonderful job in portraying the political scenario in kerala. While Kerala is eagerly looking at the murder of T P, UDF played the cards smartly by exploiting the situation and tweaked that emotional drive into votes in Neyatinkara, which brought success to morons like selvaraj. The current political scenario in Kerala is pro- congress and with support of OC Govt, any moron can win any by-election with congress ticket, and that’s what happened here.  Comparing OC with the last few CMs in Kerala, OC had conquered the charisma to impress voters by exploiting all possible political situations, and that made CPI(M)to loose the plot, and it is a highly remarkable achievement by UDF.
http://www.deccanchronicle.com/channels/nation/south/udf-win-neyyattinkara-again-fillip-oommen-chandy-032

The triumph of Selvaraj is nothing but the result of the vulnerability by the lack of candidate choice. Rather, let me put it in this way, people were in position that, they got raped and  forced to have the kid due to the pro-life policy of Govt. Sometimes I feel that the structure of Indian constitution sucks and sulking, and we have become the captive audience to the political drama by these morons. It is for sure that Selvaraj changed the league not by thrust to serve people but for personal interest.  The moral standards and ethics of politicians have been gone for toss and Indian politics is migrating to the corporate culture.  The corporate slogan will soon be “ by the seat, for the seat, from the seat”.

Through him SALVATION.

 A Revolutionary shepherd - CPI(M) No offence made..

SALVATION OR REVOLUTION
Folks,
I am sure most of you people must have gone through the recent activities done by CPI (M) to glorify or tarnish (take it as per your own perception) the reputation Christianity by portraying Jesus Christ as a revolutionary. I have my own reservations about the way the issue being handled by the new age shepherds of Christians.
http://m.indianexpress.com/news/cross-their-hearts/910754/

Having said that, When we look at rituals that we follow to worship the saviour, it differs from people to people and region to region, So in simple words- nobody has got any right to oppose or accept the views that CPI (M) or anyone made about Jesus Christ, as long as they don’t hamper X’ian followers in worshiping the Saviour in their own views and ways. In a recent discussion forum i attended despite my rebuff, few of my friends were trying to prove that Christianity is not religion but a way of approach or even like a face book page to follow. (I personally  deny here)Hence, it is clear and evident that, everyone has got their own view to Mr. God,  and there is a propensity to  portray Jesus as communist martyr or a congress freedom fighter or a BJP follower, it’s all absolutely depending upon your personal view to the society, religion, politics and the angle you keep towards the issue. 

Being a Christian, these drawings, cartoons and media gimmicks won’t shake the true faith of the Christ followers. I would rather say, our comrades may have got inspired by reading Holy Bible to write Das Kapital, as first volume of DK was published in AD 1867. But the irony is that our comrades took 1867 years to get inspired, or 2012 years to admit/ fabricate the plot. And it took as many years for our priests to authorise and acknowledge that Saviour is a revolutionary.

Still there is one question left- why don’t our priests  keep Che- Guvara  in the church premises. ?or is it merely a mistake of misunderstanding the word SALVATION and REVOLUTION !!! ?Let me reiterate the phrase again - Through him SALVATION,       (not revolution)
