The ooh and aaaaaaah's of 2007

The sweet & sour points of 2007. The common point being it was UNPREDICATABLE.

  1. December 2007- voluntary retirement appeal by Kiran Bedi who served as United Nations Police Advisor accepted by the Union government. Reasons behind voluntary retirement: inability to appoint a woman officer as Delhi’s police commissioner. In a male dominant society this was not so ……. Unpredictable.

  1. Narendra Modi the great man who has risen to iconic staus in Gujarat post in 2007 Assembly elections post Godhra riots- killing the B.J.P and burying the Congress. Riots or no riots Gujarat is merry making and so is Mr. Modi. Does anyone have personal opinions regarding our man – keep them to yourself!

  1. December 27, 2007 saw the killing of the Pakistan’s people’s party election candidate for PM- Benazir Bhutto being killed by snipers while suicide bomber killed 20 people in the election rally that she was addressing. After spending 35 years in exile an ending like this was unpredictable.

  1. The next in queue was or must I say its still in continuation – the Nandigram episode of West Bengal. The great rule and idealogy of communist state that has elected a communist government for so many years saw the practicality that is utilized by every Political party in India- if you want to do business –listen to money talk only! Money matters yar after all if you don’t have the paper crisp you cant have the fancy of being in power. To conclude –these things that involve money talks are and will always be unpredictable.

  1. The desi (oh for those who didn’t get the term- local) corporate giant Rely-ance has decided to become vegetable vendor – only difference was that they gave a better airconditioning to its vegetables and the sabji bechne walas who were selling them. Who would have ever thought that this vegi business would become so Classy!. Again unpredictable isn’t it?

Venice of the east- UDAIPUR- city of lakes

Udaipur city is one of the best hill stations in India though some of you might be not in the mood to believe this. Most of us Indians who are not from Rajasthan state which also gives shelter to the great Thar desert. Then comes the obvious conclusion that Rajasthan is a desert like place all over and apart from sand and dry heat plus cactus, this is where we have gone wrong. When I came to Udaipur for my one and a half year debacle with an NGO job i just saw how wrong i was. The place has beautiful lakes spread out all over the city which also fulfill the drinking water requirement of its people. In addition it has settled right among the Arravali /\/\/\/\/\/\/\ range. So it has the most beautiful treasure of biodiversity and every nature lover -indian or foreign should drop by and try out the following scenic places. one more wrong notion that i would like to nip in the bud is that of Rains- rainy season is the most beautiful in the region that just adds to the sheen of the green i...

Why do certain NGOs always oppsose?

When India became a democratic country and every body got this birth right to speak anything that was on thier minds the forefathers didnot realise that beyond a certain extent whatever is said will be crap! That is what i think is happening to people in NGOs today. They make a hue and cry over any darned thing that doesnt fit into their fantasy world. It starts with just a plain cribbing over a particular issue about which they cant do anything actually that can be called concrete! Then from their they issue orders to subordinates to collect info on the same so that they can pour over it and waste taxpayers money in various un imaginable forms. Finaly the government is coaxed to give a bit of attention the buckets of crap that is put infront of it by these NGOs and pass an line them in queue for potential discussion of mitigation of the crap especially since of these people of come out as the front line guards for environment conservation. Take the forest right act of 2007. Opposition...
