'Voluntary Exit'

As part of daily routine in her new cherished abode , Sumakshi woke up from a afternoon sleep , adjoining to her bed was board draped with a blank canvas sheet ready to be drawn upon,colours to be laid on and her imagination to be transported.Sumakshi was painter by hobby and along with her husbund had shifted from mayhem of large city to a small city called Umani Nagar . Two things were in abundance in this small city , lush green mustard fields and ample SILENCE , which both of them yearned from when living Bhadrapur -One of the largest cities of the world . When their son moved from Bhadrapur to pursue Engineering on Schwaze Fully paid scholorship to United states , they were jubilant , not that their son got fully paid scholarship but since both of them harbored a dream of shifting to some small city after they are done with so called "worldly duties" to pursue their Interests , "Unwind" ,slow down or Escape ! Afternoon was usual , Sun rays enveloped all over mustard fields , sleep was sound but then the feelings were not usual .Sumakshi was battling with an occult Upheaval ,where in the only thought coming to her mind was of that of moving beyond life . Exit .A rendevouz with Death . A sudden feeling leaving her Body had crept in her , with out any external stimuli . Though for world it meant "suicide" , for her it meant Exit . She rummaged her inner self , left right and centre ,up and down but answers were all elusive , why such thought suddenly . Was she worn out ,was she turning to be a mystic , was she playing with the realms of abstract or but suddenly some sane or insane voices knocked her door and raised some questions .. Why can't we voluntary exit , why a reason for exit , why to live whole life and so and so fourth .. Internal turbulences were rife , and suddenly her husbund approached her , two mugs of coffee in his hand and some new colors bought for her painting ... Behind the balcony Sun receding .. PS - was at cofee shop waiting for a friend , thought of writing a short story here it is.

WILL Nandan Nilekani be India’s Next PM?

The forthcoming General elections were projected as Presidential type of elections between the BJP’s Prime Minsiterial candidate Narender Modi and heir of congress Rahul Gandhi . The grapevine is ripe that congress wants to scale town the tone and doesn’t want this fight to be seen between Narender Modi and Rahul Gandhi , for wide variety of Reasons. Congress is well aware of the Untouchable status of Narender Modi amongst some former and Potential allies of NDA, the polarizing factor he brings in, and the state level political arithmetic’s, hence would not like to lose these advantages for sake of projecting Rahul Gandhi as Prime Ministerial candidate .Rahul Gandhi’s Popularity has been waning,not only amongst the congress cadre but amongst the masses , hence congress can ill afford the risk of projecting him as Prime Ministerial candidate. Using the OLD secular card , congress will tie a loose coalition and will re implement the formula of having Prime Minister other than Gandhi family , that too a NON Politician , technocrat kinds. It meets several objectives, projects Gandhi family as NON greedy of power, by “EMPLYOING” Non politician as PM circumvents the risk of Political coup, and more importantly enjoys Power with accountability/Responsibility. In light of these facts, my assessment of Nadan Nilekani as Next PM might not be a Pigment of Imagination but a realistic possibility. PS- The Dual centers of POWER have been instrument in KILLING the Economic Growth of India and is sure shot recipe of Disaster. rajumoza@gmail.com
