Our Country, Our Politicians

Imagine in a country like ours there will be a separate task force to be build up from the existing forces specifically to guard the statues of a minister and her bungalow and she is none other than the ‘Mayawati Ji’. Here where the existing forces are not even enough for the protection of current public there how some one can even ask for these type of things. It is astonishing that first she spend lavishly the nation’s money on creating such statues and now want to have a special force to guard them and nobody in this country could do anything about that. If someone really analyze who actually need protection, these statues which got created just because of wims and fancies of somebody with no national interest or the common man who is most prone to any security hazard. If we look back to all the terror strikes that has happened in our country and try to found in how many of them are any big minister got hurt, who actually gets hurt is the poor common man whom nobody cares. If you and your state have that much surplus money why not put into some thing that will help everybody may be in infrastructure development but who bothers about that. When some minister has to pass through some road then that road will be repaired overnight and after that nobody cares, why not everybody use the same infrastructure so that they also realize what a common man has to go through everyday
Just because that you have been elected and now has come to power does’nt mean that now you can do what you feel like, you are elected because the public want you to be their representative who will work for the betterment of their life but I think that is not even the last thing on their mind. Is nobody looking into these things or is it like these people are above everything although we are all living in democracy where everyone has equal rights. I hope someday things will improve and we will be able to make this country a country of everybody’s dreams because the people who fought for our freedom did’nt wanted the independent India to be like what we have today.

Popeye pencil sketch

Sketching is my favorite time pass but last weekend I was able to find time for this after a long long time so here is what I sketched.

No Pakistani player in IPL3

Everybody is talking about that no Pakistani cricketers are picked up in IPL3 and Shahid Afridi feels that India has made fun of Pakistan by this act but what I feel is that this issue is not that big that one start commenting that India is making fun of Pakistan. One should understand that the franchisees who are bidding for the players are doing it for business and not because of any personal liking for these players and rule is simple that if they are putting so many bucks on these players they definitely want returns and if there is no surety about the players being available then nobody will put money on them. There are so many things that can impact the availability of Pakistani players like terror strikes, visa problems or MNS protests that may trouble in organizing the games as most of the games will be played in Mumbai only. After spending so much if the player don't play in the tournament then it will be a loss to the franchisee which they definitely don’t want to face otherwise there is no doubt in anybody's mind that its really nice to see Pakistani players playing together with Indian players and their inclusion in any tournament will definitely will put extra spark in that but all the logistics needs to be checked before going any further so personally I feel this has happened purely because of business and nothing else.
Some people also commented that if there are so many issues with Pakistani player inclusion then these players must not be put for auction, but what I feel is that this kind of decision will send more wrong signals to everybody that they are completely excluded from it rather they should be part of the auction and now this is up to the franchisee to decide whether they want to take that risk or not.

Students future at stake

Today I read in the newspaper that 44 deemed universities will now be de-recognized by govt. in which lakhs of students are studying in a hope of making their carrier but with this step their hopes will be crushed. When they took admission to these institutions they would not have even a slight idea that in the middle of their courses they will have to face something like this. It is stated that these institutes are not having proper infrastructure, if that’s the case it should have been highlighted at the time when this institutes were given recognition and why not there were periodic audits of the infrastructure so that the students and their parents don't have to suffer like this.
After reading this news how these student will be able to concentrate on their studies as for them now their future is at stake. Ministry has although said that the affected students will be taken care and the institutes will revert back to quo ante status as an affiliated college but will that be enough can been seen in future only. Rather these institute should have been given some grace time period to comply with guidelines although it is a responsibility of these institutes should be up to the mark but now who is at loosing end are students. They could have even said that from next academic session if they don’t comply then they will be de-recognized from the day 1 of next session so that students at that time decide whether to join these institute or not but this news at this time will only lead to chaos. Hope some middle way gets taken on this as this decision will be very critical for many.
