Some of the recent happenings in the Country have been very upsetting. It seems our priorities have gone wrong.
ASHAMED—Mizoram CM reminds ”Politicians in New Delhi” and “People in mainland India” that “Dravidians live in the south, Aryans in the North and Mongolians in the North East”(this coming from an elected CM of a state of India)
ASHAMED—782 Million Indians will be living under less than $2 a day by 2015. These are the findings of Joint report by the IMF and WB (Report titled “Global monitoring report 2010”). (And we are dreaming of being a super power.)
ASHAMED—“People have money...They will have to pay more for power if they use more”...Says Sheila Dixit.( She will feel the pinch the day she is made to pay)
ASHAMED—Minister's family can change the AI fly schedules, can divert Flts ,AI can change to larger unscheduled aircraft to accommodate ministers daughter and son in law for their holidays despite AI having posted a loss of Rs 7200 crores(Remember Raj-Rawadas?)
ASHAMED—MCI chief Ketan Desai arrested taking Rs 2 crores bribe. He is alleged to be close to the minister for health and was not in favour of Dr Rammodass(corruption?)
ASHAMED—Phones of politicians have allegedly been tapped.HM says it was not authorised but just happened by National Technical Research Organisation (technology overtakes our governance)
ASHAMED—IPL auction took place in India. The bids were in Dollars, the payments were made in Dollars three years back. What was the RBI waiting for, for three years? Why was CBI , RAW, IB, Intelligence agency, Police,CLB all quiet for three years if everything with IPL was illegal? How that is all the members of IPL governing council go scot free but were there to enjoy the perks of the council?
ASHAMED—Liquor is being stored in FCI warehouse in Jaipur and Punjab but, wheat is kept rotting in the open. Rats are being fed and children are dying of malnutrition.
ASHAMED—Scams, Bribes, Probes, Reports, Judicial enquiry, Dept enquiry. One is sick and tired of listening to these phrases.

NEXUS
During last few months various incidents in the country have made me to come to a conclusion that a lot is happening a lot can happen and a lot just might happen by the various Nexus which have developed in India over a period of time. Only time will tell as to what harm is being done by these nexus, but I will jot down a few nexus at work which seem quite obvious.
NEXUS—between Bollywood and underworld.
NEXUS—between media and politicians.
NEXUS—between water tanker mafia and politicians.
NEXUS—between land mafia and builders.
NEXUS—between industry and politicians.
NEXUS—between police and criminals.
NEXUS—between bureaucracy and ministers.
NEXUS—between sports bodies and betting mafia.
NEXUS—between customs and smugglers.
NEXUS—between narcotic dept and drug paddlers.
NEXUS—between Hawala operators and those with “dirty” money.
NEXUS—between mining community and politicians.
What is left ?The list could be endless.
Fortunately, there seem to be two distinct areas In India which are still visibly clean-
ARMED FORCES
JUDICIARY.
Reportedly, at one time, USSR policies were greatly influenced by various Nexus operating in that country. The end result has not been very good.
PAPPU is still awaiting ROTI-KAPADA –MAKAAN.

GAMES WITHIN GAMES
IT HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA.
There is no doubt as to why a state Govt and politicians in India look forward to organising an international event (without accountability) with budgets running into thousands of Crores or Rupees.
Commonwealth Games (CWG) are being organised to start in Oct in Delhi.
I won’t go into the total budget and the progress of CWG. Our country’s sports minister had made a non-serious statement that an event of such magnitude is like daughter’s wedding, it goes through any way. Isn’t that a fantastic statement coming from a minister?
However, one must take note of a “minor” expense being debited to the games a/c.
The organising committee of CWG has incurred an expense of Rs 29.29 Lakhs spent on SNACKS during 57 odd meetings they have had. (Games have yet to start)- I REPEAT RS 29.29 LAKHS FOR SNACKS.
How many more meetings will take place and how many more Lakhs of Rs will be spent on SNACKS till Oct, is any ones guess.
This shows oft repeated complaint of complete disconnect;
Between--Govt and those 83 crore people living under Rs 20/day.
Between—Lal batti walas and No batti walas.
Between—elected representatives and the voters.
Between—Masters and subjects.
Between—Millions of tons of wheat rotting and those dying of malnutrition.
When the CWG get over, a final audit will take place. There are bound to be complaints of irregularities and corruption. And finally a committee will be appointed to examine the complaints, results of which will go into some files rotting in Govt store rooms.
God only knows which country wins- Gold--Silver –Bronze medals during forthcoming CWG.
In my opinion one participant without participation has already struck GOLD—it is the CATERER WHO HAS SUPLLIED SNACKS WORTH 29.29 LAKHS.
For rest of the few thousand Crores of Rs being spent, the intelligent ones must have already done the calculations.
PAPPU still awaits ROTI-KAPADA-MAKAAN.

TRUST
WHEN I AM TRUSTING AND BEING MYSELF, EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE REFLECTS THIS BY FALLING IN PLACE EASILY, OFTEN, MIRACULOSLY............ Shakti Gawain
We start our day, every day, by trusting those who make our lives move .Each one trusts the other. The problem arises when one is let down.
TRUST-When you go the church to prey for rains carrying an umbrella.
TRUST-When you tell your wife that you will be late after a meeting.
TRUST-When Kasab goes on trial.
TRUST-When Afzal Guru’s case comes up for consideration.
TRUST-When pilot signs the register after fuel is reported filled in aircraft.
TRUST-When we buy packed item and don’t recheck the weight.
TRUST-When we pay as per Taxi/Auto meter.
.
TRUST-When APJ Abdul Kalam, Ratan Tata and Kiran Bedi are called “most trusted”.
TRUST-When one follows instructions of Doctor and Lawyer.
TRUST-When a handful MPs decide the future of 120 crore people for 5 yrs.
TRUST-When the dept accepts IT returns on self assessment basis.
TRUST-When whatever happens in life is for a reason.
TRUST-When we write a blog post and believe that it won’t be copied.
TRUST-When a blogger expects comments on his/her blog post.
Would you like to add any other thought to the TRUST list?
Have you ever been let down by those you trusted?
