Are we failing?

An incident..

Few days back I was riding on my bike. It was moderate traffic. I was riding in my lane being careful. Suddenly a guy came out of nowhere on a bike on my wrong side. I slowed down, as the car ahead of me had done so. This guy, on my wrong side took this opportunity, and cut across me from front to make way for himself. Quite a normal incident. But I had to brake very hard, else I would be ramming into him and we both could be hurt. But this guy, seemingly oblivious to the happenings, kept on driving. I had to shout to get his attention. Immediately he slowed down and came level with me. What happened would be completely outrageous. He kept staring at me as I said," Is this the way to drive, cutting across?". He replied,"So? What happened?". I asked," Can't atleast switch on your turn signal?". "My turn signal is not working,so?", was his reply in a high voice. I informed that he could have atleast given hand signal. To which he raised his voice and said,"No, I do not want t0 give signal, so what will you do?" Then he kept staring at me with a meaner look. He had a pillion rider with him who started ma

Divided we fall!!

The split in sena has assured that a very good opposition is lost. MNS has been the driving force in this downfall, and figures from election commission are proof to it. The are many constituencies where sena has lost(including their fortress), but its not true that MNS has gained in those places.

Had they had the wisdom to stay together, sena would have been the driving force.

Also mr. Raj has to realise that when he speaks of the outsiders in aamchi mumbai, it may hold true for aamchi mumbai. But if he has to expand to state level, the need to address the issues of other cities/districts is very high, and the question of outsiders is a no issue there. Maybe thats the reason why MNS didnt field in around 50% of the constituencies.That could be his success mantra for 2014.

Shiva sena....Maharashtra Navnirman sena.....and now Christ Sena!!

Amazing isn't it? Never had a catholic living in the coastal belt of vasai, supported any form of (pro) hindutva sena. Until august 2009, mr. vivek pandit MLA was much hated by christians due to his party ideologies.

But the equation changed, when the much "beloved" ex-MLA of vasai mr. thakur raised hand, physically in form of a slap to an activist, and politically by vetting for municipal corporation for that region against the will of locals.

Christians found themselves without a seasoned politician who would be recognised by all communities in the region. Mr. pandit found this to be a great opportunity to fulfill personal ambition by standing as an independent and gathering support of the people who despised him.

I donot oppose mr. pandit. The only thought that has crossed my mind time and again, is that, will it be possible for him to bring to the task, the resistance that is being offered by his supporters? Or will he be lost in his own abmitions?

One thing he has to remember, mr. thakur had won the previous election only due to the support of this community(for the lack of a suitable candidate). This time things have changed for him as he forgot that unity always triumphs. So if mr. pandit wishes this kind of support nex time around, he has to prove himself. He has been "selected" against the most non corrupt politician of the region( who, sadly couldn't make it to higher level, since politics doesn't support honesty anymore in India).

Jenson presses the championship Button!!!

Jenson Button and the Brawn team has ensured that formula one is the final winner in the game!!

With all the excitements and the dramas filled in this season, it had never been so fun watching it. Though one race is still to go at abu dhabi, its just completion of formalities. Teams with low budget have proved that they can be competitive from the front. Case in the point is Brawn, Redbull Racing, Force India and many other troubled teams who have managed to score points. The era of big threes, Ferrari, Mclaren and Renault is over.

Surely we have a very exciting and more competitive season coming up next year with three more teams entering and few more tracks.

Eagerly waiting for the next season. For me, I am putting my money on Brawn GP again and also expecting Force India to do better still!!
