Arnab Goswami

The gentleman pulls up the TV journalism to an extent, the whole country feels proud of this Bengali guy. In Times Now television at a prime news time, he delivered his class and excellence in establishing the truth and principles of secular India while interviewing a Muslim political leader on arresting one Keralite Muslim leader (Madani) held responsible by the Karnataka High Court for serial bomb blast and killing of innocent citizens in Bangalore. Arnab's relentless persuasion in upholding the rule of law need to be mentioned. The Learned Court has established the guilt of the accused leader of the fanatic outfit closed to the local ruling establishment. His class of pedigree and sobriety in disposing the matter has ultimately brought the culprit to surrender to the waiting policemen. Thank you Arnab. You've shown the way to serve the nation.

The Lady Lost

The lady who once stole my heart in my youth is simply missing from my heart. I realised afterwards that she never loved me truly. In a rainy day while we were compelled to be confined in a bungalow on the bank of a river, she sang, "Lag Ja Gale, firse....hansi raat ho na ho....sayad iss janam se mulakat ho na ho". I appreciated her emotion and tune and loved the song she sang. But never thought back her real intention was suppressed in it. So stupid was I! 

I dreamt of my unborn son and named it Abhiroop. But she killed my dream for ever. I still repent for my unholy association with such a person in my life. I simply wasted my time and energy which will never come back. I was in a trap of hypocrisy. Everybody, particularly the younger generation should not be swayed only in emotion in loving girl. I don't want other should be stamped like me. So, be careful of cheat and impostor in love.

The Bankruptcy

The Indian government has budgeted to borrow 4.57 lakh crore rupees to meet the annual expenditure at rupees 11.87 lakh crore. The expenditure includes interest payment on earlier loan. The interest payment on this year's new loan will be an additional burden to the government. It is a matter of grave concern if any government's earning is able to meet only half of its budgeted expenditure. Despite the financial crisis the country is facing, the government hopes to reduce the fiscal deficit to 5.5. per cent of GDP from the current year's 6.9 per cent. The hopes come out of an estimate of disinvestment proceeds of Rs. 400 billion and estimate of Rs. 350 billion from 3G wireless radio spectrum auction. The government deficit is expected to be reduced mainly on the back of 'strong economic growth'. There must be an Aladdin who will bell out the country very soon. Please believe in our government as you believe in your wife.

The Friendship

Sant Kabir the sufi sage of India wrote Doha to enlighten human beings. My friend Kabir has sent a message, "Dosti ho to Shree Krishna aur Sudaama jaisi ho. Bane chahe dushman zamana hamara, salaamat rahe dostana hamara. Wish u a happy friendship day..." Well! there may not be any touch of classic poetry in the lines of the stupid, the dearest friend of mine on the earth. But whatever he typed in the message has filled my heart. I'm indebted to the Almighty that I'm blessed with a friend like him.   

Mortgaging Conscience

I was, no my home was mortgaged to the moneylender. I had to wait for 20 years to release it from the lender after repaying money with interest. I feel my home, no myself is now free and the home where we breath together now fully belongs to us. We are happy that we shall no more live in fear. I can claim now there is my home situated on the earth and on a land called India, my country.

Yet I'm indebted to my country, the mother India has gifted my life and living. I will never be able to repay the debt. But am I really grateful to my mother? My mother is mortgaged to International Monetary Fund, World Bank and their mentors in Wall Street and their stooges in Mumbai and Delhi. Am I at all concerned and active in releasing my mother from the foreign moneylenders? Every Indian lives in his or her homeland with a foreign debt of  Rs.10,000/-, if not more. The internal and foreign debt is getting manifold increase in billions or trillions of dollars every year, the money perhaps will not be repaid in the near future. The debt burden has reached to an alarming proportion that has paved the way for lords and ladies of imperialism to cause frequent visits to our land to guide our managers to act in accordance with the desires of their masters. The Indian God smiles!

My personal home may now be free from mortgage but the conscience of my country is mortgaged. Only God can make all of us free.
