The Indian Presidential elections of 2012- Much Ado about Nothing ?

Like the previous ones so far it has been a year  ridden with graft charges being labelled at the highest offices of power with  one scam after another surfacing from pandora's box. At such a juncture, all this the hullabaloo over the election of a ceremonial President makes little sense if u ask me.... Mr.Mukherjee or Sangma..whoever it is that will adorn Raisina Hills will matter very little to the common man....the counterpoint of prestige of the Nation being at stake is a non-issue, especially for a Nation struggling to retain its economy in order...Issues of Farmer suicides , malnourishment of our children, beggary ,women trafficking have been sidelined and deprioritised one feels....all this for a mere ceremonial president....is it worth the effort ? I , for one, certainly don't care...does that make me any less a citizen than the rest ?


Our Government certainly needs to get its priorities right !

December 31st, 2011 a year in retrospect

2011 is nearing completion...yet another year coming to an end with not much to be happy about...but life does not stand idle. Preparations are on to embark upon a new journey in this upcoming solar year...

Hoping that the next year is better in all respects for us all with less bloodshed, calamities, less devastation, less ill-luck.

Praying fervently to the Almighty for a better year with better luck , better health and success in professional front with lesser hassels..AMEN

memories of months

January-sound sleep, dreamy eyes, hunt for calendars, silent air, catching up on cricket down under usually in the early wee hours of the morning…

February- Shortest month in the calendar, Feeling Lovesick, romantic movie season, saraswati ma puja at my home, cricket in west indies, runny nose,fever, chill, bodyache,under the weather everytime..

March- Holi, memories of all those years spent in exams, switching on the fun for the very first time the year ( nostalgia ) and film awards, blooming of flowers...

April- Bengal celebrates Nabobarsho with much pomp and gaiety, things are heating up weatherwise around this time…

May- Evenings are half as pleasant as the mornings harsh, body scorches and liquid intake, air conditioners, rising electricity bills, frequent power cuts, ill temper..

June- Intense heat, want some respite, AC in full steam, Kulfi ,praying for thunderstorms and rains and repenting having asked for it later on; usually holiday month since school, has remained so…

July- Rains and colling of the airs, music, aura of romanticism..

August- Patriotism fills the air....concerts..hope.

September- Countdown to Durgotsav and body wanting a break …holidays ??

October- Usually the most festive month having usually many holidays including Glittering lights of Diwali ..Free to do as I choose plus good food generally helps...

November- Solemn month, pollution, winter just setting in..

December-Under the mattress,pollution and dust, cakes and heavy breakfast, Fan no longer needed, playing cricket, Christmas, 31st night shows on TV and making new year resolutions hoping / praying a better year in next one..
