The INDIA that is not INDIA! We are in the midst of times when too many things are happening around within too little time. Let me delve into some of them and share my thoughts.  We now have a grand alliance of the opposition parties and it is given the abbreviation as I.N.D.I.A. A smart move indeed, if only they could convince that it is a pan-India, all-inclusive alliance formidable to throw Modi and his party out of the power at the center. Let us leave it there. This article is not about the grand opposition alliance. It is rather on varied subjects that are contemporary and my thoughts on them. It has been a very long time that I wrote on my blog. Not that I didn't have anything to write or didn't want to, but it is simply because the thoughts kept on coming to my mind and just got vanished before I could put them in words and put it here in the blog. So many coincidences could be observed in the styles (or lack of it of some) of functioning of several state and the Centra...

I see a lot of videos and posts going viral on the reasons why Ayodhya residents voted out BJP, inspite of building the Sri Ram temple, a dream coming true for the believers worldover for the past 500+ years.That will be a half-truth. Generally when a road is widened or some development work is planned in a road, the owners(landlords) are given compensation, while the tenants would be paid(if at all) some paltry sum. In fact it would be like a blessing in disguise for the landlords, as these commercial tenants(shopkeepers) will be paying peanuts since ages and would not be neither increasing the rents or vacating the premises.

BJP's sitting MP Lallan Singh is not to the liking of the many in the party, in the constituency. Though there was dislike by the local cadre, BJP could not replac...

 India at its inflection point with BJP @240 and NDA @293 "When a cricket match is lost, critics to armchair journalists come out calling for the head of the captain. It is quite but natural" - Anonymous "Decisions are not made with discussions. Decisions are made and discussed later. If you keep discussing, you can never decide" - Thyrocare founder Arokiaswamy Velumani  "You have hundred reasons for a failure and everyone watching you will give you one new one, once they feel that you haven't won or not performed so well" - Anonymous The reason I started with these not so famous quotes is the outcome of the General elections of 2024. Modi has put his best touring and travelling across the country, working hard along with Amit Shah tirelessly to return to power and launch NDA 3.0 or rather Modi 3.0 government at the centre. Ab ki baar chaar sou paar was the slogan - 370 to BJP and 400+ to NDA. Not to be. Here comes the problem. BJP has ended with 240 a...
