Hello, Please Listen...

With many key issues burning and scalding the nation, i thought i should use my vast experience and ignorance to advise some of the in-limelight people. It may not solve their problems or miseries. But it will open their eyes and wisdom to a new practical perspective.. Here it goes...

To Anna Ji:   Clapping is fine.  Fasting too is fine. But it is a herculean task to weed out corruption from our system. The nation has not been able to accommodate another Mahatma. Remember the movie "Gandhi". When Gandhiji starts yet another fasting, Nehruji is shown grimacing and wrenching his hands in frustrations. What cannot be cured has to be endured. I have learnt it the hard way.

To Baba Ramdev Ji:    Did you actually jump down or was it a slip. Please take care Sir. Health is wealth. I started my yoga practice by watching your DVD some years ago. Then Shilpa's corrupted me. Thats brings back the issue of corruption in society. It is just futile to fight against the establishments. I was a big fan of T.N.Seshanji. Before that i used to vociferously support S.Gurumurthy for his tirades against establishment and corruption. I have kept changing my mentor but nothing has changed. Please think over. Yoga is more important than a corruption free society. No Guru ever has lived in peace and without controversy. Where there is income there will tax issues. So it is not a bed of roses anymore.

To Sushmaji:    If i were you, i would say to myself 'Men may come and men may go, i go on dancing for ever. I dance to the tunes of everyone that pays me and gives me benefit. I care two hoots if my steps are ugly or they resemble a tortoise trying to turn around quickly. What matters is i enjoy it. If you look into history, the Oshos and other great trend setters have done something wierd to sublimate. There is no rule or guideline that says one should not dance while singing bhajans'. So no need to apologise. Afterall dancing and singing are considered the purest form of meditation.

To NDTV:    I like your crusade against wrong doers and wrong doings. Please diarise the start date of an issue that you want to address and expose. And please cut cakes on the 25th, 50th and 100th day to commemorate the relentless fight.

To The Common Man:    Forget all these petty issues of inflation, corruption, ever soaring prices of basic necessitites, poverty, falling standards of living, unemployment, falling bridges and overflowing sewages. What is important is life must go on. Rome was not built in a day. It may take some million years but some day things will surely change. Hope is its own inferno. So let us close our eyes and live in hope. I know you are distracted these days by some crusader here or there. Aren't these seasonal in life?

To Myself:   If NDTV is the only channel you get to see and if you can be so profound after one week's regular watching, imagine how intelligent and wise the common man can be who gets to watch a dozen other channels doing the same thing but with a difference. So better understand your limitations.
