Telugu Bidda - Did not deserve this

We are drenched in admirations from the whole world on the economic strides made in the last decade. Already the projections are available for 2025, when India will be behind US and China to become the third largest economy dwarfing Europe. Elections are being fought on economic agendas too. All this is because of one man who chose to take the road less taken. The man who was the invisible hand behind the change. The shrewd brain that gave India the direction when the world became Unipolar and the cold war ended. There was no USSR to back India, no money in the coffers, Kashmir and Punjab were burning. We as a nation, were about to fail. Mr PV Narasimha Rao changed all this. He gave the nation a new lease of life and set the path for a deserving place in the new world order. And he passed away last week. Congress did not even let his body inside their office. It was laid infront of the office, outside the gate. And there was a behind the scene tussle regarding cremating him in New Delhi, the grave yard leased to Gandhi family. His body was flown to Hyderabad and cremated there. The story does not end here. What I say now is a reproduction of a first hand narration from my friend in Hyderabad. He reached the cremation site at 9 pm, way after it started(2 PM). Our former PMs body lies there half burnt with no wood. No police nor family to see to it. Did he deserve this? Would we even let a dog die this death for that matter?

Has this nation has lost its conscience? He deserves a place that is far better than a memorial in New Delhi. Our generation will thank him for giving us all this whole new dimension of opportunities. We must remember him and cherish whatever he did for the nation and its destiny.

Time to Mourn, Or is it?

Beach where I used to play is now an open air mortuary. The famous Marina beach is now nothing but decaying ruins. And the death count still mounting. When the entire world was stunned at what happened in the Indian ocean rim countries, some bastards in Chennai are more concerned about something else. Buses were stoned, trains stopped, shops shutdown. All for a rumour regarding the death of M Karunanidhi. When the entire nation is saddened by the harrowing Tsunami and the resulting loss of lives, where from these morons think of something like this. And what if he is dead? There are people who got smacked against walls like a mosquito and died with head split open. Communities lost as a whole with no trace of them. One entire airbase in CarNicobar was off the maps for more than a day. And to top all this, most deaths that happened in Chennai come from harbour area, the constituency of Karunanidhi. When will these politicians change? Leadership comes out during times like these. Leading a mob that stones a bus is no skill at all. But leading by example when completely taken by surprise and stand amid ruins is what we expect from Ministers. But I understand it is too much to expect from these stone throwing assholes to deliver. This is no time for partisan views. Should we mourn the deaths or the incompetence of the Govt machinery (Read Politicians) to deliver time and again? Its yet another example to explemplify the incompetence, inability, ineptitude of our representatives. Time for everyone to start thinking interms of electing sensible people to lead us in time of crisis like that rather than voting for Dhoti clad stone throwing mobsters.

When I visit home next time, I know I will see a completely different coastline, ruins of the tsunami attack, visible scars on the lives of many, but not a revamped govt machinery or politicians. One more tsunami I wish will attack the St.George Fort when the Assembly is in full strength and take all those impotents away forever and save the nation. May God turn this Wish True.
