Dear readers

The refusal of Supreme court, to stay the order of the Andhra Pradesh High court on the 3.5% sub quota was a matter of interesting reading today; I was remembering the Mandal commissioning agitation of 80s where the students in Delhi took the issue  to the streets and one Goswami who self immolated.( he died later due to some other reason)

Our solicitor general argued in the court that the delay in implementation of the sub quote will jeopardise the future of 350 IIT aspirants  selected within this quota. Those sentiments were pooh-poohed  by  the learned judges. At last i read a good news in the new paper which I was waiting for long , as I always read reports on accidents , robberies  and corruption to fill the  platter during my breakfast reading of news papers.

An interesting article in the Editorial column of the times of India’’ s Ahmadabad edition is  worth reading on this topic for  the day. Also thanks to the SC judges who stayed the order and let Goswami’s soul rest in peace . For me the judgement gives hope as  chances of my daughter getting into an IIT is not further beaked: good day:

Dear friends
The goverment of Gujarat is spending Rs 2500 crore to built a statue of Sardar Patel over the narmada river. It would be a gujarati version of the statue of liberty. Gujarat I agree is a rich state, so the statue would be a matter of pride for the Non Resident gujaratis returning home to take  their kids for picnic.
But the other side is when our Mayavatiben spent similar amounts for a statue of her, we had all this brohaha. However when Gujarat is into such a extravaganza nobody has even noticed. ....

Sardar Patel himself was a common man''s leader and just imagine what he would have said if alive to this extravaganza...

Really a thought to ponder upon.

Dear all

Two events warrants attention one is the swearing of Sachin Tendulkar as a   Rajya Sabha MP and that of Viswanathan Anand becoming the world Chess champion.  Knowing both Cricket and Chess, I am a bit partial to chess because it is game of sheer individual skill . Anand’s triumph need to be acknowledged by larger recognitions. While we talk of giving a Bharat Ratna to Sachin and make him an  MP or give make Dhoni a Lt Colonal, we are quite partisan while recognising  other individual and their sport in the same platform. Well we can always lament Cricket is a mass hysteria while chess is a sport on the fringe. Jai Ho

Dear all,

The coal  gate scam and the joining   of Anna and  Baba Ramdev is the new news. The two stalwarts have now heated up the media space again . So lot of fireworks and tamashas, and prime time media nightingales chasing team anna and the baba .

Is the Anna Movement an orchestrated public movement.  Of course it had a good beginning when  the youth took  on the mantle last year. But this youth back up make me feel that it was only a chocolate euphoria and since lost its charm. To be more sarcastic, it seems to me that some intellectual Delhiwalas uses a sincere but tactless crusader for their advantage . Attention changes from Lok pal to individual corruption and election issues. The baba seems to have won in getting a synergy from the movement. Somewhere the whole DNA of the movement is lost.....the common man like me and you still searches a leader...

What do you think , DO write and participate

Today on the 31^st of May 2012, I start this blog. My name is Rajesh and a sincere law abiding citizen of this country. This blog i would be writing in the pseudonym  called Sanyasi, a name i was called upon by my friends since college. This name also  camouflage an individual identity which helps in bringing a non partsan and biazed frame work to the national debate which i plan to start from this coloum . My blog is an open book for all humanity to write on their views on the subject of discussion which can be any thing under the sun whether it is politics, religion , science and even any taboo subject.

Today I take the issue of the ongoing discource in public on the issue of corruption at high places and in particularly the shikandi issue. Mr bhushans remark was under scrutiny and if you had watched the Times News where our prime time public prosecutor Mr Arnab goswamy was quizzing Jr Bhushan in the presence of Mr Hegde both from the same Team Anna brigade.

Bhushanji was polite in admiting that he used the term shikandi only as a metaphor and he respects  the PM might have been a face saving tactic, but what needs to be pondered is on the question whether if the PM is heading a group of ministers under whose ministries such nepotism  takes place, then is he not responsible . Can he say that Iam a clean person even though my team is corrupt. Why he dont have the guts to put his foot down and say , enough is enough, I saved this country from an economic catastrophe and i cant lead this same country when my own ministries are labelled tainted . As a gentleman , if he is not really a shikandi he should step down and that only would bring back his lost glory:
