One day at the Times, gives one a hundred days of fodder for thoughts. If you have the passion for wandering like Alice in Wonderland, go off the tangent and colour the words you see on those pages. Join me as we walk the talk. Do you see what i see...?
Let us make an auspicious beginning, with the holy wisdom that is Vedanta.The locomotive thundering through the countryside rushing to the destruction of the sacred Niyamgiri hills, mowing down the homogenous tribes, has been denied a green signal by some sensible guys at the Center! And when the State chief rushed to the capital to advocate Vedanta and failed, he issues a subtle threat that no more investors will throng to India after this shabby treatment to our guests at Vedanta!Indeed, Take the tribals begging on the city maidan to task for doling out such shabby treatment to the State guests! Does this Indian have to side with the Vedantis from UK when he has the choice to join the team of his own people of Orissa? Shrill cries fall on deaf ears?
The Maharaja of the skies is getting loaded with human cargo, top heavy and pocket empty! Loaders take to the skies for free? Loaders too have joined the queue of freeloaders? No wonder, the Maharaja tangled in red tape and nepotism of its own making seems to be slipping... slipping into RED! Losing the race without a fight AI Singh?
Maharashtra is truly a maha rashtra.....i love my State, where the minds are without fear of wasting and getting caught in the nets, where the power of reasoning has dried up in the desert of greed and avarice, where the sons tilling the soil are turned away from their roots and the walls of class and creed are fortified in the city!Is it any wonder the honourable ministers impoverish the State further by their idleness?
The sparkling story at its best- Dubai, that jewel in the desert seems to be the last resort of scoundrels and scalawags. I wonder what do they see there? Safe refuge, lavish lifestyle, wine women and song? Or are they following in the footsteps many others before them? Our home-grown swindlers should hang their heads in shame...are they losing their touch? Mexicans are taking over their territory!
And the queen of the suburbs in the city that is the Gateway of India,is sinking into a state of disorder, chaos and crime with a ( not so)little nudge from the people's representatives themselves! Soon there will be less roads and more hawkers, only high-rises surrounded by shanties, runways at the airport will drown in the drainage from the onslaught of slums. Green will make way fro brown. Shanghai will turn into slumbai. This is YOUR city and mine. Time to decide all Corporators, MLAs and MPs - whose side are you on, the citizens or the agents of anarchy?
