Akhilesh wins cycle race

When people of US  were fed up with the war mongering of George Bush (both of them )scandals during Clinton administration they were looking for some fresh ideas and faces..Obama came as a breath of fresh air captured power ..but from the second term his administration became lethargic and ignored the rise ISS and others along with widespread unemployment which became a threat ...Trump exploited it and captured power 

Similarly in India people were fed up with scandals ,corruption ,inaction and useless leaders of previous governments  (especially Congress ) Modi came in as a fresh face and idea ..they elected him to power ..till now there is not a constuctive and purposeful opposition has not emerged ..All leaders are opposing the Government to protect their turf (again especially Congress to protect and reinstate family ) and only to fullfill the dream of sitting in PM's chair ..

Recent developments in UP gives some hope ..Akhilesh was bold enough to tread his own path ..if others can also come out of the shackles of family(Congress )personal worship (TMC,AAP,AIADMK,DMK) useless ideology (CPM,CPI etc) we can have a purposeful full opposition who want to do something for the Country. .

In a healthy democracy strong ,purposeful, clean Government and a strong , purposeful and non disruptive opposition is a must ..

Only worry is Akhilesh will be manipulated by other parties in alliance to further their own agendas ..especially RG  ,Laalu and others 

Let's wait and watch ..General elections are in 2019 ..It is a long time to go

The Bus

I  am riding on a bus,
full of people
fun and laughter

Some singing ,some talking
some just listening
 Every one is good to you

journey is smooth for some time
some time it was bumpy
then we saw more colorful buses
people started getting down
some says good bye
some do not
now the bus is empty

suddenly i realize i am alone in the bus
I have no where to get off
Then i saw the name of bus
it is read : Friendship",

Happiness

When you live in the world where you have everything and you worry about everything.We think when we have a difficult time everybody will be there for you . Truth is that you are alone and need to fend for yourselves yourselves.

Happiness is when you realize that you are alone you have to worry about that only. Surrender yourselves to Divine Mother and be happy in all life.

Happiness will not come to you it should come from you ..

Reflections

It has been sometime  that I was thinking about the future and the way of life currently lead by us .Being a part of the rat race always on the run ,your life is constantly compared with others .Victory or  success in life is measured by the amount of money you earn or the no of houses you own in comparison with other .There will never be an end to it .

Most of the time is spent on gadgets once you get up in the morning ,check the phone ,go to office spent the whole day staring at the laptop,spending time with people most of them are fake and appears friendly ,always looking forward for to way to cut you down and jump ahead .The bosses heap false praise on you and if you ask for something genuine they will come out with a list of policies how it cannot be done ,but they have done the same for their own sidekicks .we do not enjoy the days anymore .Time spent together with family is less, talking to each other is less ,most of the time spent on watching TV and watching videos on the net .it has become difficult to cope with all this ... thinking of way to come out of it ..try to find real joy in life and family ,enjoy your days ,spent time happily together ..determined to find a way out ..will do that in the near future while the reflections on life will continue everyday now
