Send out the clowns!





















November 26th...of the 8th year of the 21st century... was one of those days, most of the eyes of the world were on one country and it was not for the best of reasons. It was a day after the “9/11” which has become the talk, the argument, the sympathy and many more emotions, that the world has been expressing. It is bad that something like this happened, but let's be honest we have been preparing ourselves for something like this for while now….


HOW? To me... it's just that we should have been expecting this considering the political scene in this country. Our so called “NETAs” never get affected in things like these never…


WHY? Because they never are in a situation as they have the NSG commandos with them all the time…


FOR WHAT? To protect them so that they can swindle all our TAX money for the next 5 years. The common man who votes for the person is more important than the person whom he is electing. Don't know how people just accept the fact that the politicians absolutely do nothing to the people who have elected them…I am accepting that I have been one of them too. Always knew the system was wrong, but never bothered to think that I should do something about it, but just like others just been tolerant to everything that has been happening. We are one of those kinds who are always taken for granted. Its time for us to stop… There are lot things that could be changed. The most important one according to me is the Transparency from our government officials and the various so called political clowns (don't want to call them “leaders”). That's one of those things which is really surprising that we still continue to call them POLITICAL LEADERS... Leaders of whom... definitely not mine...
There are list of things which I would like to see changed or put in place. Let's look at them…

Candidates need to have a retirement age as they have for the government companies and institutions, funnily the ones they control.

Every candidate needs to be given a NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the CBI or another autonomous agency and not the police department as they are basically working for the politicians in most cases.

There should be strict rules from the Election Commission for the creation of New Political parties, what happens now... is that if I have enough money to buy out people (who are for sale) I can open up a new party and spoil the whole election scene.

Nothing against the Nehru/Gandhi Family but our country has always been ruled by one family, which needs to be changed. I am of the view that we are all afraid of looking somewhere else for someone who can lead us. But we need to do that, it might be difficult but it is not impossible.

The internal security system which, includes Police services should be autonomies, which means the same should not decided by the politicians who have big say in the selection process and also the posting process.

The Media… needs curb the dramatization that they are doing. The visuals that they were shown during the terror attacks were simply atrocious. When someone said that the government was going to take call on the pictures shown of the operations of the NSG and the Army as it was affecting their operations, the news channels started talking about the freedom of speech and other stuffs. This is simply ridiculous. There is lot of other things that they can show and expose, but this was just a bit too much even if it was big national condition.
There are lots more things that could be changed… Lemme just give them to you in my next one…


Just an apt line….

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
