Actions speak louder than words

I woke up to the unpalatable news on the front page of ‪‎Mumbai‬ edition of the 'leading' national daily that a ‪‎MLA‬ belonging to AIMIM‬ has been suspended from Assembly for the remainder of the current session after he refused to chant 'BharatMataKiJai‬'. The MLA is reportedly considered as an 'anti-national'. The members who generally fight over every minor issue in the House were united in their voice to recommend suspension of this MLA. There is also a 'big' debate in the country on what should be done to those who do not want to chant ‪BMKJ‬. 
While I am not attempting to question the 'collective wisdom' of the members nor supporting those who do not want to say Bharat Mata Ki Jai, it is time to question some of the elected representatives of various Houses in this country if they knew the National Anthem. If not hailing 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' is 'anti-national', then what does not knowing the ‪‎NationalAnthem‬ of this country amount to? Do they deserve to sit in their respective Houses if they did not know the National Anthem? How many them would pass the test if they were asked to sing National Anthem? Would all those who fail agree to resign from their positions and call themselves 'anti-national'? They would probably not want to take the test. Are all those leaders who hail BMKJ in public but do LBM( Loot Bharat Mata) in private, nationalists? 
It doesn't really matter if a leader hailed BMKJ or not but what definitely matters is how he/she treats Bharat Mata and her people. It would be a great service to Bharat Mata if all elected representatives do not divide her 'children' on the narrow lines of caste, creed and religion which they have been doing incessantly for political gains. As if there are no other important priorities, the whole nation is being taken for a ride by the so called 'nationalists' and 'patriots'.
All those great men insisting on hailing BMKJ should not forget the adage "Actions speak louder than words". So instead of wasting the public's time by raising such issues, they should focus on actions that would make Bharat Mata a developed nation and keep her children united and at peace with each other under all circumstances.
Bharat Mata Ki Jai !!!!
Jai Hind !!!!

The Sai Baba of Shirdi – God or Guru or both

Image
I start this column in complete reverence to His Holiness Sri Shankaracharya of Dwaraka Peeth Swami Swaroopanand Saraswathi and with the blessings of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba. In the last few days, there is a lot of hullabaloo happening on Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi with Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand Saraswathi of Dwarka Peeth exhorting Sai devotees on June 23 not to treat Sai Baba as God and to stop worshipping him. The devotees of Sai Baba felt outraged and there was wide spread condemnation of Shankaracharya’s words. Saidham Charitable Trust filed a PIL in Supreme Court on 17 th September seeking its intervention in the matter and to direct the Centre to restrain people from making derogatory remarks on Shirdi Sai and to prevent Swamiji or his disciples from removing Sai Baba’s idols from any of the temples across the country. As an ordinary devotee of Shirdi Sai , I would like to put forth a few of the thoughts about what I feel Sai Baba is all about after having read and unde

Movie Review – Yevade Subramanyam(Telugu)

Image
This movie will definitely rank as one of the finest movies produced in Tollywood in the recent past. The theme of the movie revolves around questions like “Who Am I?” and “What Am I doing?”, that every person might have at least once in their lifetime. Subramanyam, played by Nani , works as an Investment Banker and is driven by ambition, status and money. A product of IIM-A, his vision and mission in life is to make it big in life. He is so much engrossed and hooked on to his goal that he forgets the present moment and the beauty of life. At a time when he was about to realize his dream by getting engaged to industrialist and also his boss Pasupathi ’s (played by Nazar ) daughter Ria (played by Ritu Verma ), an unexpected entry happens in the name and form of his childhood friend Rishi ( played by Vijay Devarakonda , a new find for Tollywood). Vijay played his role very well though there was a bit of overdose on two occasions owing more to directorial issues. Rishi, the charac

A golden Silver Jubilee Meet of BITS85BATCH

Image
A logo par excellence They were all born in different parts of India, studied hard (some might say they hardly studied but made it to BITS) at different schools and their +2 scores got them to study and play together in the year 1985 at BITS, Pilani – the abode of higher education. While some of them got into 4-year integrated courses, some others got into 5-year dual degree courses.  The year 2014 marks the Silver Jubilee Year and the batch mates decided to have their SJM (Silver Jubilee Meet). That several Pre-SJM meets happened at different parts of the world as a precursor to the actual SJM stands testimony to the enthusiasm of the batch. The size of the batch is 564 and is spread across various continents. It is a humongous task to even communicate a message to all of them, leave alone the task of getting them together. But, thanks to technology that came to the rescue of the Organizing Committee (OC) in the form of Telegram, Whats-app, Google Groups, YouTube and Faceboo
