Living over same dream Again and Again

I have poured my thoughts 5 years back when Akhilesh came to power in my blog and having the same optimism when Modi came in center and AAP in Delhi...However, Akhilesh 5 yrs were no game changer and hopes dashed like it happens every time with us.
Largely so because we hope too much from others and then pass the baton to other. I was thinking this generation is smart , twitter warriors blah blah but on doing a deep dive analysis, I realized that we were no different or in some cases worse than our predecessors.
Our parents generation were more social than today virtual sociality. They were doing same talks in dinning room and in a paan shop around the corner. We do that on twitter and facebook. We hardly visit each other and are so called more social. I am no pessimist but a healthy cynicism, which is  essence of living. As they say,  I am because I think.
I find it difficult to understand that why it is so difficult for any political party to understand that they have to develop basic infrastructure road, electricity and education, ensure social justices and rest people  can handle it on their own. Still years after years, I haven't seen only deterioration of education, infrastructure, law and order . Neither have I seen zeal and enthusiasm to improve these by any parties. I haven't seen visible on ground change and it looks as if everything happening  in TV is myth and cover up. I still don't see any govt in past or even in Modi times substantial improvement in education infrastructure or health infrastructure or provide potable water. For those who don't believe me, there was a dialog in Amitabh Bachan starrer "Main Azaad hoon" ki pachas saalo main peenae pa paani to dila nahin sakhi tumhari sarkar ...It is still relevant now and though govt has changed multiple times after that.
To add positive spin, If AAP is doing what they are doing in Delhi than I appreciate them. They have focused on education and health care in big way. If this is seen at ground than my vote will go to them. As far as Modi, I would be open for someone to fill the gaps by suggesting any visible changes on ground. I liked he has atleast get rid of  attestation rules which was pain for common people and has abolished similar such colonolised rules. Cant say if Swach Bharat, beti bachao and jan dhan yogna are similar to thousands different yognas by thousnad different governtment.
This euphoria is not the first time and not the last time. It happened in past it happened now and will happen in future.
I still dont understand is it that difficult to focus on basic necessaities or fulfiling basic duties of government or we have more bigger problems than this ....How come Politician irrespective of cast, creed or religion become rich and untouchable.
I am not just eternal optimist but also NOT a silent spectator. I try to make difference in my own way within my own limits but I guess I can hardly say for many ..many of us. Their best service of society is hitting like or ranting on facebook and twitter like our parents generation so I sometime feel I am living in a time wrap and we are reliving same day every day ....in same hope and betrayed every time.
I am posting to capture the timeline before it fades and revisit and see what will change in next five years and would like everyone to comment on positives they have seen around them from Modi Sarkar ...AAP or for that matter Amrinder in Punjab or any Govt
People say acchey din aa rahein hain, Delhi London ban raha hain aur Punjab adh raha hain ..wait and watch ...!!!Amen

Are we thinking or influenced

Facts are always indisputable  but nowadays there are revealed by calculated measurement, convenience and installment like a soap opera.
We have started taking sides without analyzing and realizing that everything has become sponsored now. Its is feed catering to a satisfy appetite. You have TV channels that shows any CD ..which later turn out to be doctored , morphed. I am not sure if they apologize for it later.  They are the one shouting and imposing on people. I have seen both Arnab and Ravish since quite some time. I kind of like Ravish over Arnab just because of his track record and way he speaks on  non media platform. Arnab I will excuse to comment, there are many cases where i feel he is victimizing and being hypocrite and sensationalizing. Every debate nowadays in prime time drama. However, they still add pressure and form public opinion and eventually public can make out... as they say public sab jaanti hain ..ki doodh kahan hain aur doodh ki dhaar kahan ..
Recently I have been following Rohit and JNU incident...i dont think this is a debate because there cant be two sides to it. Interestingly you have brand of nationalism and patronizing of it and media is cheerleader for their team. Kanhaiya's speech was aired by some too much and blacked out by other. If we do analytical thinking and be neutral , we can make a conscious decision. Speaking against something doesn't mean you are taking side. Disagreement means that you have an independent identity. As René Descartes says ..I think therefore I am.
I was watching Smriti Irani's debate and was truly floored like many others. How I wish it was complete truth. I don't support Congress propaganda and introducing Rahul gandhi or their narrow ideology in text book. I guess Congress learned their lesson and I support neutralization of education against politicization I praise that part if she is not doing reverse polarization but neutralizing it. She looses my vote of confidence when she referenced rohit as bachha and said that doctor and police were not allowed else he could have been saved.Here, I would give benefit of doubt to Rohit's mother and really felt hurt that part of Smriti Irani's statement were shady if not  lies. On the top of it PM endorsing it. Modi might have definitely dropped by few points in populatiy index by this act, as people have more faith in him than BJP.
There are definitely shades of Grey in BJP version ..and the way they hyped it to an extent that entire machinery was advocating sedation charges to an extend of making JNU look terrorist den. I hope its not the case and it was not to that extent. Not the JNU I have known and heard about.
On the other hand, I saw Kanhaiyaa' speech..it was perfect oratory and power packed punch which has swayed many people opinion. even of those who were thinking him as shear villain.  You have to ...based on whatever served to you ...unless you are predetermined about your opinion.
You need some substance in individual, You dont just troll like that ..you just dont get attention like that. Call him opportunist , you still have to captivate attention and should be having something in you to stand up to the challenge.  of living up to the expectation of prime time audiences and international press, FB and Tweeter community.
If he has actually said the things he has than none does endorse it. BJP looses it cases as they were found in week foot when video on which entire argument is based turn out to be doctored or Smritis speech effect was not dented by Rohit's mother statement
  So my friends all I am saying sabhi sabootoon aur gawahoon ko madyanajjar rakhtein hua is baar BJP ka palda thoda halka lagta hain ..there is definitely a lot of grey area and BJP looks more culpable. If Kanhaiya is hero today than its What BJP has made him ..just Like what Congress made out of AK. I guess people in post of power have the illusion of being powerful and they end up getting some rude shock from nobody from nowhere. I think these things are necessary to maintain sanity and equilibrium. One thing i agree with few people that BJP could have done better without few incidents in past ...that has dented its pro development image...
--My personal view ...not an endorsement to any kind as I dont claim to know truth ...all derivations  are circumstantial and based on turn of events as they unfolded. I am keenly following Modi and wanted to see the changes at ground levels where people can feel it for itself ...

non Noteworthy...

 Here is an interesting incident which make me realize how unnoticeable creature I have been through out my life. Throughout my schooldays I had a very small group of friends and we used to hear my class news from grapevine. Its like I was in an well and Gaurav use to tease me saying "kuae kae mandaik"..and offcourse maidak were Neeraj,Vikas, Mayank, Deepak and me and that was my all friends list in totality.
My school friend (From 23 years old timeline) invited me to whatsapp... I was not knowing what whatsapp is and then recently I got my first smart phone and downloaded whatsapp and reverted to my friend with my number.
Here is what happened ...he added me to my classmates group and the moment i was added ...everyone was asking "Who is Anurag" ..it was like a AAJtak mujrim kaun...relate it back to news reader ..who dramatically says ...gaur sae dekhiyae is insaan ko...pehchannae ki koshish kijiyae ..yeh aapae school main hi kahin chipa tha ...aap sab kae beech....As far as i am concerned, i know everyone of them with name and can relate it to their faces...it was awkward to prove ur identity .. and how..
Shall I say I was the guys sitting in the last two benches working on iblsin(theta) and trying to make sense out of Fleming law and law of electromagnetic induction...Honestly i was blessed with ignorance and i never missed being popular ..i like my space and people within it. We had all the fun and I remember when Mayank got 7 marks in biology and scored highest in Maths ...He skipped entire biology part-2...those were the moments ...I passed  years of schooling in anonymity. When my good friend "Hanz" added me to list of my friends after a gap of 23 years ..this was destined to be .I am sure this relates to many others my brother and sisters born with this genetic defect ...called as introverts...and truly they were to shy to talk to opposite sex (for the lack of better word..no harm intended )...it was more an ET being..another interesting incident ..one of my friend Ashish in 7th period and last hour of school ask girl sitting in next bench...Ritu, aaj Shikha nahin aayee...and i spontaneously responded before Ritu...Nahin aaye ...tujhae yeh saatvaein period main pata chala...i mean he felt bad for my rude interruption before start of any meaningful conversation with Ritu..but i was just trying to be logical...i mean ismae poochnae jaisa kya tha?...if you haven't seen her since start of school till last hour of school, doesn't it imply that she is not in and that's why their is attendance in first hour itself...but then intelligence is not always appreciated..he switched his desk from next day..
...Ladies & Gentlemn this is me, Anurag Sharma from GTB Meerut (1987-1993)...It was pleasure meeting you all ...Thanks Hanz for bringing me back to light .

Slave of your own thinking

I was watching recently a documentary "COSMOS". It was amazing and leave you breathless. It actually tells you that how small earth is as compared to galaxy and how small a galaxy is against "Known Universe". Known is the key as we still don't know entire universe. there could be still start out there whose light hasn't reached us even after travelling 1.3 billion years and that's what i say mind boggling. It actually takes you beyond your imagination. Not just this, if we measure our self against cosmic calendar by splitting life of universe into 12 months and each second is equivalent to million some years. Human evaluation is last minute of the DEC 31st of Cosmic year. Once you look at the magnanimity of this, you think of is a span of 100 yrs anything against this.  That also we spent wasting meandering through with no purpose, envious about neighbors maruti than satisfied by your scooter. Where success is measured in money and intellect is determined by your conventional thinking. No wonder why Copernicus and were Bruno were banished , assaulted and eventually killed just because they thought that earth is not the center of universe but tiny piece compared to vastness of universe and revolves around Sun. How many times we judge people with our preconceived notion rather than merit of argument. think about how many times we applaud for same old story of win of good over evil, romeo Juliat versions ...but when you think beyond limit you end up with movie like avatar and makhi. All of us are so narrow minded in the vastness of universe that i feel depressed by the mediocrity in our thinking. Atleast, if god has given you brain than think limitless. Go beyond boundaries and question your creator like Stephen King once claimed that there is no God. There is only science. True or Not but he think beyond and question conventional. I guess changes are brought by common thinking and revolution by such visionaries. They are far from few because our education, social system makes us robot than free thinker. Free thinking is strictly prohibited and even in so called modern days ..you could end up in asylum because human race is never ready to hear or experiment with "New".  Talk to a kid and you will be amazed at their thinking and their questions and then you educate them...They become IITian, MITian. More degrees are attestation for increased incompetence. Perhaps Steve Jobs, Bill gates and Dhirubhai were already enlightened..
