The Booked Darling

The darling is booked by the chosen friendly guys. She hawks beauty, dishes with beverage with some printed pieces of stories. A few lines were favoured to pour into the ears of the humming bees who were in search of the honey. The honey the guys ate and left the scene with the passion of getting more closer to the sold commodity.

The night falls. The darling was brought back to her nest for rest and relish the event. A donkey looked at the torn pieces of stories lying beneath the tree. A street dog passed urine on the pieces and left. The incident remained unknown to her. The dawn looked tired to ask the sun to find her.

The sun asked the darling why you break head to earn fame. Why don't you know who herself a long stanza of a poem why she should go for something other? You are beautiful and a gift of God. You are not a selling commodity.

The Martyr Recalled

Andhra Police encountered a Maoist leader (Azad) and his comrade and killed them that has become a news nationwide. Gun fight with the Maoist terrorists by the police or para military force is nothing new in Andhra since the days of uprising of Naxalism. No one wondered on such encounter death of those violent communists. It was and it is the duty of anti-Naxal cell in Andhra government to eliminate Naxalites or Maoists whoever ruled the state. Interestingly, the same brand of Maoist party was utilised to defeat the ruling Chandrababu Naidu  government  in the last assembly elections. The late Rajsekar Reddy government largely successful in driving out the Maoists from Andhra to a great extent. The problem surfaced again in the political turmoil created after untimely demise of Reddy in a copter crash.

The death of Azad has created a controversy in the media. The ex-police and ex-para-military chiefs condemned the killing of a Maoist who surrendered to the police. Azad was said to be deputed by the Maoist party to negotiate with the central government to lay down arms and ceasefire. The correspondences recovered from the dead shows the languages for a negotiated settlement of the issues the Maoists have been struggling for decades. Both the Centre and Andra State ruled by the same party led by the Gandhi family. The state party and its government are religiously implementing the political agenda of the Centre. So, neither the state can be made scapegoat nor its bosses should be treated innocent.

With the killing of the surrendered Maoists, the sincerity on the part of the central government is under question. The Killing has pushed the rebels far from the discussion table. No one can blame them for not responding to a dialogue for a peaceful settlement of the issues in future. The government has to display its intention clear for a  solution to the issue. My sincere thanks to Swami Angibesh,  who has delivered his statesmanship through his sincere desire and effort for a dialogue  between two waring fronts for a peaceful settlement. Let us pray for a good sense to prevail for both sides. 

The Professor

A professor in Kerala is subjected to brutal attack by a Muslim group. His hands were cut and severe wounds inflicted all over his body while he was travelling in a car alongwith his family. The miscreants were organised by the islamist terror outfit to avenge a writing on Hazrat Muhammad in some educational question paper set by the institution. The attack on a non-believer or Kafeer of Islam considered a holy act. The professor is a christian who had violated the principle of Islam by talking or writing on Muhammad or Islam. Hence brutality perpetrated on a non-believer felt justified.

In other religions, everybody is free to discuss their shortcomings and good or bad of their Gods or Goddess. Even Muslim people often condemn or make jokes of  other Gods taking advantage of democracy and liberalism. Nobody touches them for talking or writing against Hindu/Christian Gods what is impossible in a country where Islam is a state religion. 

In England, I recall, the pedigree of Jesus Christ was questioned by the Christian intellectuals. Someone branded him a bustard as mother Merry denied fatherhood to Joseph who was told a mere care-taking father of Jesus by hiding the truth. The sainthood was promulgated on him by a dubious propaganda that his father lived in heaven. The opinion was thoroughly debated among the christian community everywhere. The intellectuals were not charged with blasphemy or other violations. There was no violent action for or against the opinion in Europe. A good friend of mine who is a liberal Muslim sent me an email containing jokes on Krishna, Hanuman etc. I never felt those Hindu Gods were insulted and planned to physically assault him. I rather enjoyed reading the text of the mail and laughed. This is how a civilized society behaves.   

Abhiroop

Once I named my unborn son Abhiroop. But his mother did not allow her to concieve. I closely imagined his face to be like his beatiful Ma. His eyes depthness would reveal the far unseen and unknown world of knowledge. In the dark sky, I search my son if he hides behind the  stars. In a dusty sun shine, I try to find my lost kid beneath the trees. In thousand and million voice, I would love to listen tiny voice which would .......

The Price Rise & G-20 Summit

Ask an ordinary Indian to express his/her feeling as how they cater the daily family needs. They will not reply but lambaste at the political parties ruling the government. The party does not represent majority Indians has become only qualified to run the government administration with the backing of other minor parties. They do not govern the nationalities in a country called India. So, they are not seen liable to be accountable to all the countrymen. In absence of a popular government and pro-people policies, my people are dying for want of basic necessities at an affordable price. Its still mysterious, how Atal Behari government was capable of keeping price rise under control what our present rulers miserably failed from the day one they took position in the government. 

The rulers are busy in coporatising the country's land, hills, rivers and sea. Media barons are laudable on Ambani's discovery of petroleum. But who is going to be rich with such discovery? Prices of petrol, diesel and gas are decontrolled. The corporates are very happy. Equally the ordinary people are extremely unhappy with the spurt of price rise. Public transport will hit hard and so the other essential commodities are. The story of subsidy is being spread through the media that reportedly compelled the rulers for huge hike in petroleum price. The story of global financial meltdown is also told off and on.

BBC reports flooded with appreciation calling India as an 'Asian Giant' in G-20 Summit in Canada. US President Obama termed the Indian PM a pathfinder in overcoming global financial crisis. But peaceful protesters of the Summit in Canada were mercilessly beaten and thrown into police custody. The rulers must realise that the IT revolution has also brought the citizens of the world on one side of the fence to challenge the stooges of the multi national and transnational corporations. And We Shall Overcome Someday!   

A Meaningful Life

Once I lamented to my friend and colleague to make the human life meaningful. In fact, I was tired to listen praise or adverse criticism on individual surrounding family/personal life or behaviour etc. In such situations, either you support his/her view in order to appease or oppose at the risk of breaking relation. And there is no end of it. In doing this, the small life ends without any meaning.

If one dialectically assess the personal relation, it hardly last on emotional love and sex. After some time, one will start feel such personal relation lasts under certain compulsion. Sometime, it makes a burden. But you can't leave the place or person you dislike most. The hypocrisy leads you towards a meaningless life. 

But you are always recalled once you go beyond your ' very tough real life' and try to think beyond the known way of life. You create something for the entire generation and you are recalled with respect by the world.  

The Enemy

Its very painful to imagine that my country may be ruled by those fascist Maoists. The party which could indiscriminately kill hundreds of innocent people in the name of revenge against the state power and blow up a passenger train can not be less anti-people and fascist than those Muslim terror outfits. Whatever be the ideology or whatever that may be great, nothing is important than the lives of people of India. You the killers have no right to kill them indiscriminately. You are indeed a bunch of enemy of this country and you need to be destroyed by any means. The politics of mass murder and annihilation has become obsolete now a days and you the demons are pursuing those rejected policies. Yes, it would be very sad, if the government is forced to send army to teach you people a lesson. If that happens, you will be held responsible for that blood shed and destruction of our indigenous people. Yet there are certain responsible people in the corridor of power those are not favouring for tough action against your party. They are waiting for your good sense to prevail and respond to the discusion table for any peaceful solution to the issues you raised for the tribal people. I also find reasons in raising fundamental issues concerning life and living of the oppressed people of the country including the tribals. But like many millions I also join in appealing you to stop playing with the lives of the poor people and create an admosphere counducive to a peaceful solution.
