Dance of Democracy - What they wont tell you.

               Here is a man who has strived enough to get through school in order to make himself capable enough to get into IIT and then this man here takes up many high paying jobs which allows him to become somewhat settled in his life, at one point he takes a decision to change the affairs this country has been putting up with and starts to raise many questions in the name of ordinary citizens because he understands those problems better than your usual politician does. At first he is one among the many so they don't bother about his questions, then he becomes prominent and raises many more uneasy questions which they just ignore, but when those questions become so uncomfortable for some and realize that many have started to ask the same questions, they retort to those questions by talking about the person who has raised those questions, they say that you cannot ask those questions because you are not an ordinary citizen, you are an anarchist, you change your mind every now and then, you just drop things as they are and don't see it through to the end, you cannot speak for the people you say you are speaking for because you are not one of them as you are now staying in a 85,000 rupees rented apartment, they say you are a liar, you just accuse and don't prove anything. And meanwhile the gullible people that we are miss the whole idea and start to question the person instead of pondering and seeking answers to those questions which has been raised by that person.

                   The recent deluge of accusations that have been hurled against AAP and its leaders are attempt's to push the masses towards that direction, its an attempt to divert peoples attention from the real issues, its an attempt to make people concentrate on the messenger rather than on the message. Because they know that its easier to kill the message by killing the messenger than to kill the message itself. They wont 't tell you how Mr. Kejriwal can afford to pay 85,000 rupees as rent and why he cannot move out of the house right now in the midst of his busy election campaign schedule, They wont 't tell you why they called the toppling of a few metal detectors by the sudden surge in AAP supporters exiting a railway station as " vandalism " while they called the throwing of Chappal's, lattis and chairs against the police by hundreds of BJP workers in a rally as just " Commotion ", They will tell you that when a chief minister of a state indulges in a protest as a last resort in way of finding a solution to the reasons that drove him to protest is just not right and hence its Anarchy, but they wont tell you to look into that part of history where in a few take a controversial political stance knowingly and make a Rath yatra just for the sake of being in the headlines and in the process they create a huge communal divide in this country which would lead to a chain of dreadful events starting with a Mosques demolition, followed by several bomb blasts, and several terrorist attacks, and several communal clashes ending up in the deaths of children men and women in thousands, when one looks into such a history the question really arises in ones mind is protesting based on legitimate reasons to find solution's Anarchy or its creating a political climate which leads to killing of thousands of innocent men women and children. Everyone one who has ever been up against the might of the wrong have all had to face this kind of persecution, every leader who has ever had the chance to put himself or herself to test have all had to face such persecutions, Nelson Mandela did, Mohandas karamchand Gandhi did and so will Mr. Arvind Kejriwal.

Dance of Democracy - What should really matter.

              Its a shame that we the people of this country even after having the tendency to blame venal establishments, corrupt politicians, inefficient government machinery, unthoughtful government policies for all the ills this society puts up with day in and day out we have very little understanding of what we  actually are blaming about and what it takes to be successful in Indian politics, more so we have very little understanding of politics itself. Its an undeniable fact that Money is a huge enabler that allows one to gain traction in Indian politics, and where and how one gains that money determines ones " true political agenda ", if only the so called masses whose verdict is seen as a dictum of our collective democratic right arised out of the infallible thorough nature of our powers of observation as it would be in the case of an assumed ideal or hypothetical world, we wouldn't have had the misfortune of coming to terms with our own inabilty to make the right choice's which has allowed criminals, murderers, rapists, decoits, kidnappers fill up our parliament, a recent finding shows that one third of our parliament is filled with men who are of dubious nature with serious criminal charges against them.
               If only people had the brains to work out the cost behind vote seeking advertisements that the political parties have been bombarding the masses with through every medium thats available,  if only they had the brains to workout the cost of BJP or congresses 30 second advertisements during prime time television shows people will be dumbfounded and will be forced to ask themselves how on earth these political parties happen to have so much - So much of money at their disposal considering their 97 percent of cadres are people belonging to the lower social strata, and why on earth these political parties spend such HUGE MONEY in order to make their reach wider leave alone them spending money on Smearing campaigns which ridicule other political parties, People don't have the time or the will to find answer's to such important question's but these very frugal minded nitwits or dimwits or whatever, who after listening to relentless propaganda and lies about AAP being Anarchic, and the B- Team of so and so party have all the time in the world to worry about Mr. Kejriwals 5 Bed room flat, or of him having not vacated his government accommodation just after demiting office, or for that matter the assaults he has been through during his road shows, were they staged or not?, With such important question's occupying our small minds all the time we wonder why on earth we are not able to do something about the 30 crore people in this country who go to sleep empty stomach every night in the hope that they will wake up to a new beginning one day.

12 Years a Slave

I was totally speechless after watching this movie, 12 years a slave wrenches the sense of freedom out of you for you to recognize it all over again and makes you to see the sacrifices that have been made to make the words like dignity, equality, fairness and justice mean what they mean today, as someone who has always been in awe of the sliver light that streams above ones head to cast moving images on a silver screen in a scale that is breath taking as such, veiling the darkness that one doesn't have to endure in exchange for an experience as only celluloid could offer, i find it difficult to make a distinction as to what it is that makes this movie profound, is it the cast which pulls of an uphill task of putting themselves in the shoes of men and women who lived some 200 years ago or is it the depiction of the sheer brutality man is capable of showing to his own kind, i don't know. But all i know is i have watched an amazing movie about things that happened in no good way......
