About Me

Hi, this is somebody who has taken the quieter by-lane to be happy. The hustle and bustle of the big, booming main street was too intimidating. Passing through the quieter by-lane I intend to reach a solitary path, laid out just for me, to reach my destiny, to be happy primarily, and enjoy the fruits of being happy. (www.sandeepdahiya.com)

Random Thoughts

Despite hogging some mediocre limelight for making advancements in various fields India still ranks at the bottom of the list in terms of quality of life. In fact even very poor African countries are better placed than India in this regard. The reason is simple: the economic statistics that put India in the league of fastly developing economies are just limited to the economic fortunes of mere 1 percent of the total population. How has this miniscule section of Indian population come to grab almost 80 percent of the total wealth and give a very deceptive picture of Indian growth and development? The answer is very simple! Political-industrialist nexus has allowed the plundering of resources to an unbelievable extent. Take for example coal. The industrial house acquiring a coal block has to spend just 100 rupees per ton (including royalty and extraction costs) and gets legal rights to sell it for 5000 rupees. This is plain theft!! How can anyone justify such mammoth profit margin? It applies to rest of the resources including minerals, forests, petroleum, natural gas, water bodies, lands, etc. All that a big industrial house is required to do is to take the particular minister heading a crucial resource ministry into confidence, set up a deal regarding the massive returns for the party, individuals and the institutions. That is how unimaginable sums of money get deposited in secret accounts abroad. This money is then used, not for development works, but in parochial ways meant to perpetuate the ways and means of the system that allows this loot. Consider a reverse scenario! Suppose rules and regulations are reformulated to increase the royalties to the extent that the industrialist is left with a logical profit margin on the basis of investment made. Like if the industrialist has to pay back 2500 rupees out of 5000 rupees made for per ton of coal. These 2500 rupees coming back into governmental coffers as direct visible money can be used for developmental works directly related to the quality of life of the 99 percent of the population. It will avoid a situation where just 1 percent of the population sits on majority of the resources directly or indirectly. This is no communist dream! It is pretty much based on market principles. Let the investing industrialist have the best returns as per the money-making ratio in rest of manufacturing and services sectors where people put up best of their management skills to earn decent sums. If it is not done then we will definitely have scenarios where the Prime Minister has to eat humble pie at the hands of criminal coal ministers having nexus with coal mafia and big industrial houses.

 Even before counting the verdict is out in Haryana. Congress is nowhere in contest in 9 out of 10 seats. Only in Rohtak, the much pampered home constituency of chief minister hooda, there is a close fight. Even this small chance of a Congress win has been purchased by Hooda for his son Dipender. It is proved by a mathematical logic. In agreement with BJP the haryana chief minister ensured that BJP fields its weakest candidate. Captain Abhimanyu, BJP national spokesman and the the man who has kept BJP flag alive in Rohtak during so many past elections, was not given ticket this time. The reason is simple! The chief minister would have lost even this home constituency. And consequently the last corner of his clout where he has pumped unimaginable sums for development works at the cost of development in other parts of Haryana. The only question that remains is the amount of money or some other give and take between BJP and Congress in this matter.

Nature is not with anybody. Neither is it against anyone. It is for us to decide whether we are with it or against it. The onus is on us! Since we r a part of it, it suits our purpose if we go with it!! Going against it means going against ourselves. Bt that is what v r doing presently!!

Mr Mulayam Yadav, y dnt u gt khatna done and become a real mullah. Then u will have the support of all indian Muslims. With tht Azam Khan would not b required to bark out shit off his mouth like he is doing now. Allah has given him a hole somewhere else to let out shit. Mouth cn b put to better use. Also Mr Mulayam u r lucky that the women and girls of ur family always have gun totting security around them. So how can v expect u to b sensitive on heinous crimes aganst women. Mr Mulayam the more u speak in Taliban tone, the brighter become the eyes of traditional muslim believers who treat women like animals. It is not a slip out from ur old head. It is a calculated political statement, again to appease muslim voters. Looking at mulayam singh yadav and azam khan's mindless talks, evn rabid dogs must b feeling intellectuals and worthy of being in parliament.

From Sonipat BJP has given ticket to Ramesh Kaushik. This corrupt Congressite used all means of corruption during the last ten years and now jumped out of the sinking ship to hitch onto the soon to be victorious chariot. COMMON VOTERS believe he has purchased his entry into BJP by paying crores. The same has been done in four other seats in Haryana where congress hoodlums hv paid massive sums to enter BJP. BJP has thus cheated its own cadder in the state. So all those who r agnst Congress r feeling cheated. It is like agn voting for Congress. It proves there is no fundamental diffrnce btwn Congress and BJP. I had joined AAP for some time thinking it is a movement bt aftr sm time realised they r into evn smarter and more shrewed politics. Bt already they r paying for it. Evn here donation was the main criteria for getting Lok Sabha ticket. So our choice is INLD of Chautala clan. They at least r a farmers party and r behind the bars for giving jobs to 3100 youths.
