Another August 15th

Even on days like this, the national mood remains far from jubilant, for there is not much to smile about. The common man is greeted, rather bombarded with grim and gloomy news 24/7. The Prime Minister may choose to paint a rosy picture from the Red Fort, but we know better. One could almost feel sorry or Dr. Manmohan Singh as he kept hopping from ‘mile stones to milestones’ in his address to the nation. If someone is not aware that the general elections are round the corner, the PM’s speech would serve as a timely alert.

It is indeed sad that such days have been reduced to a mere ritual devoid of any real joy...

Happy Independence Day..

The great defence..

A.K.Antony has done it again... Over so many decades, this man has played with half truths, silence which is louder than words, innuendos and omissions. He is definitely the Mr. Clean of Indian politics. But in his current role, he is as ineffective as he has been as the Chief Minister of Kerala.

On the other hand, his party is at its worst phase ever, both in terms of mission and vision. The Government just isn’t functional.  Be it economics, defence, internal security, foreign affair, social welfare or any other aspect of this country, UPA has failed miserably.

God save us…..
