Fall From Grace


I must admit , I have no respect left for our former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh.

Here are 3 reasons why I doubt his honesty, integrity and character as well....

1) Large scale loot - A loot is something taken away from its rightful owner by force to be enjoyed by a few. De-monetization has not taken anything away from honest people. Any honest person can deposit or exchange money. The benefits of monetisation are not be enjoyed by a few but will benefit society in the long term. 2G and Coal scam are two examples of large scale loot wherein rules were made and changed so that a few people would get to own strategic national resources for a pittance. Dr Manmohan Singh who presided over the largest loot in the history of mankind should have known what large scale loot means. He clearly is not being honest with the people of India.

2) Monumental Mis-Management - Management means the organisation and co-ordination of teams, people and processes. De-monetiations was one of the best examples of Public-Private partnership. State owned banks. private banks , post offices and the RBI did work as a team. Our airforce also chipped in by helping out with the logistics of cash. Even the queues at the banks were organised. Dr Manmohan could have offered some suggestions based on his experience as a bureaucrat and a PM on how this organisation and co-ordination can be made better. You lose your integrity when you deliberately choose not to do the right thing - Dr Singh did just that.

3) Character - Character is a like a coin which has 2 sides - personal character and national character. Personal character is determined by your behaviour in a personal capacity. National character is how you conduct yourself when immoral things happen in the society or the country you live in. While many believe that Dr Singh is a man of great personal character, it is obvious that he lacks national character for he abetted the large scale loot of our country. A coin loses its currency if one side is damaged.

Dr Singh in my eyes is a man devoid of honesty, integrity and character,  a man with no honour.

Dr Singh seems to be inspired by his own lines - "In the long term , all of us are dead" ... hence why bother about honesty, integrity, character and honour.

    The mega scams that were orchestrated under the 'watchful' gaze of the Oxford educated erudite PM shows that MMS was totally inept and a lame duck as PM of our country.

Manohar - One who could win hearts and minds

They say that it is easy to defeat anyone, winning people over is the most difficult thing to do. Manohar Parrikar true to his name dedicated his life to winning people over. My first interaction with Manohar Parikkar was 5 years ago. Elections had been announced and Manohar Parikkar was asked to address IT professionals living in and around Outer Ring Road in Bangalore. New Horizon College was the venue. On that lazy Sunday, I managed to show up at the venue 15 before time. Politicians are known to arrive late but Manohar Parrikar was already there mingling with the IT crowd. He speech consisted of 2-3 stories with foksy humor and wisdom. He wanted the IT crowd to engage in politics, to participate in nation building, I still remember his story "Once upon a time, Goa was known for the best watermelons. Every year post the harvest season, farmers in every village would invite people to taste the best watermelons for free. There was only one condition, they had to spit ou...

Kindle Review @ India

Got my Kindle delivered today and altough its been only a few hours here's how Kindle works in Bangalore, India a) Purchase: I bought the Kindle Global Edition using my Indian credit card and got it shipped to a friend in the US who got it for me to Bangalore . Works out to Rs 13,000 as i saved on shipping and duties. b) Packaging is very neat , as Amazon claiming on the package - its a frustration free package , easy to get to your kindle in less than 60 seconds. c) Kindle ships with a US charger which is not much of an issue for folks in Banaglore as most homes have a converter of some kind. You can also charge via USB of your computer . d) Charging & Controls : Got the Kindle charged up , the Kindle quick start guide popped up . All controls are very intuitive and you can skip the quick start guide. Its was only seconds and i was at ease with my Kindle. e) Whispernet access : Kindle did not automatically detect the service provider in Banaglore. After repeated attempts when ...

Mahaghatbandhan Meltdown

Over the last 9 months, regional leaders had worked very hard to build an anti-Modi front. They did not contest seats, swallowed pride and also shared a platform with the very parties against whom they had contested all their lives. These regional parties did all this with only one hope - survival. They believed that if they all came together, they could put up a credible fight against Modi in 2019. It would be painful for each one of them to concede seats but at least survival was possible. The Mahaghatbandhan strategy was put to test during the bypolls. Vote banks were combined; lifelong enemies (BSP-SP) came together and the BJP was defeated in the bypolls. Mahaghatbahndhan despite its inherent contradictions seemed to work. Desperation was the binding glue. NDA, on the other hand, seemed to lose friends. The Shiv Sena remains miffed as it is relegated to a supporting role, TDP walked out as it was unable to take on YSR at the local level. On top of this, media build a ...
