Renault KWID: The Game is still on

The new Renault KWID is pleasant surprise to the budget car industry in India. Equipped with extraordinary features those are not only best in class, but also in cars from segments above. It includes seven-inch touch-screen navigation system, a boot capacity of 300 litres, and the best in class ground clearance of 180 millimetres. The SUV look of the car is unique and attractive, with the best in class length & breadth offers a superior interior space, which is unusually rare in this segment. A three-cylinder 0.8-litre Smart Control Efficiency engine (799 CC, which is tuned to churn out 54PS and a peak torque of 72Nm with a 5-speed manual gearbox) enables it to generate a mileage of 25.17 kmpl, again the best in class.

With an affordable price of Rs 2.56 lakh to Rs 3.53 lakh, Renault KWID stands far ahead in the category of mini hatchbacks. The big question is now that whether KWID will be able to revive the dying mini car segment in India. With the changing preferences, increase in income level, availability of so many variants and easy bank financing options, the Indian consumer has already started to make a shift to the next level of owning a car.

The buzz that Renault has created with its online marketing efforts and India as a choice to be the first in global launch of KWID, reflects that seriousness of Renault towards the Indian market. The concept of virtual showroom, online demos and others communication efforts are worth appreciable and it also clicked for Renault as a flying start having managed to get 25,000 bookings within two weeks since its launch.

Surely, a well equipped mini car has everything to make a mark but isn't it too late for Renault to cater the segment? Or Renault is just trying to list the presence in the category? Though less price would enable it to fetch the market share but competition is already intense with Maruti Alto and Hundai Eon. The miserable journey of Tata Nano so far has already proved that even a college going boy is not much interested in mini cars. Sluggish sales of mini cars in India and falling market share of the segment (mini car segment constituted 30% in 2010-11, which is continuously on downfall with 21% market share in 2014-15) and comparative increase of market share of compact hatchbacks and sedan cars is the biggest challenge for Renault.

Despite of a few weak points and potential threats, Renault KWID has the mind-blowing strength to utilize the available opportunity in the dynamic market of India. 

WHY NOT HUMANITY?

This blog was also appeared in one of India's leading blogging platform riseforindia.com

We men and women are filled of profuse love and competent of give-away tons of love to each & every creation of Mother Nature. Even our birth is the result of the most intimated and sacred form of love. Why violence?

World has witnessed the greatest of the greatest leaders who have embraced the path of non-violence and made the significant contribution to make the world a better place. Why do we forget about it, and we always forget about it. The blood-drenched sword is double edged and it justifies Newton’s third law of motion.  Violence serves no one; even the aftermath of the great battle of Kurushetra was grief-stricken to the Pandvas. Though the violent battles fought in ancient times were mostly, good versus evil, and the purpose always remained unique i.e. to prevail peace. But in today’s era, things are worst; we fight for baseless things, which have no relation to the accomplishment of peace.

Let me share my own story with you, I had a very tragic road-accident in the year 2014 and the credit of my survival goes to the generous humans who overlooked the conundrum of religion, caste, creed etc and made every possible effort to keep me alive. My Boss, who is a believer of Sikh faith, was among those angelic humans who donated me the blood. My fracture leg was precisely treated by a Muslim doctor, I was mentally supported by my friends across the globe and all of them are Christians. Do I need to say that how much I owe to them?

There are so things in this world like poverty, education, hunger to care about except the fanaticism of violence and inhumanity. Religions were made to serve humanity, not to lynch it.   In his book Ignited Minds: Unleashing the Power Within India, Dr Kalam wrote, ““For great men, religion is a way of making friends; small people make religion a fighting tool.”   To a thirsty, the religion is water, to a hungry, the religion is food; above all is humanity that serves the needy.

In her letter to me, Irom Sharmila writes, “What we really need to do now is to inculcate the art of love and kindness for others around the world, so that the world be the real sole-abode of a civilised generation of ours, without madness of killings and supremacy in dealing with other fellow beings. Why not it is possible?”

We, the citizen of this planet, are desperately in need to salvage the pearl of tolerance. Our minds should be broad enough and our hearts must be warm enough; to act or react without harming others, to analyse precisely before making pre-emptive notions, to help the feeble with all our strength, to think positive and TO make a constructive change.

After all, life is too short to be lived with hatred.

This is my first poem I ever wrote, I shall dedicate this to 'humanity' within us:

मैं इंसान हूँ।

(I Am Human)

सोचकर आज मैं बात यह परेशान हूँ, कि मैं एक इंसान हूँ।

(Thinking about it today, I am worried that I am a human-being)

मुझे दफनाओगे या जलाओगे?;

(Will you bury me or burn me after death?)

ना मैं हिन्दू हूँ, ना  मुसलमान हूँ।।

(I am neither a Hindu, nor a Muslim)

भगवान ने मुझे इंसान बनाया, लेकिन जग ने मुझे हिंदू या मुसलमान बनाया।

(God has made me a human, but the world has made me a Hindu or a Muslim)

लहू दोनों का है लाल, वही आखें वही बाल।

(The color of blood is same, same hair & eyes)

फिर क्या है अलग कि तू हिन्दू है, मैं मुसलमान हूँ।।

(What's different is that you are a Hindu, I am a Muslim)

राम भी वही, रहीम भी वही

(God is one)

फिर भी क्यों तू हिन्दू है, मैं मुसलमान हूँ।।

(Why are you still Hindu, I am a Muslim)

शायद यही समय है बदलने का दुनिया की रीत को,

(Maybe it's time to change the way of the world)

गाने का इस गीत को

(....and to sing the song)

"ना मैं हिंदू हूँ, ना मै मुसलमान हूँ,

(No, I am a Hindu, a Muslim, I am not)

मै इंसान हूँ, मै इंसान हूँ।।"

(I am human, I am human)

China’s Quest of Innovation

The attitude of a typical consumer (may be outside) China; a Chinese product means something cheap, sub-standard and a “mimic” innovation, which may last up-to a certain level of uses. Unknowing the fact that almost everything (which we consider a product of high quality) is directly or indirectly associated with Chinese markets, in one or other way, includes assembling, manufacturing or labouring.

Slowing economic development and looking for future prospects of healthy growth forcing China to transit itself into an innovation driven economy. It is spending $200 Billion (an increase of up-to four fold in less than a decade) on R&D, a year, which amounts 2% of its GDP and further increase is possible in upcoming years. It is almost at par with the R&D spending of USA and far greater than which India spends on R&D (0.9% of its much smaller GDP).

The China’s quest of innovation is moreover lies on the legal framework, financial functioning and its acknowledgement to the private sector. To establish the credibility of its ‘own’ products outside China will be the biggest challenge, apart from the global ‘technical- co-ordination’ to produce better products.

The issues with India and China on their respective R&D endeavour are alike. The majority of innovations-hubs in both the countries are state driven and politically dominated, which allow the least; freedom, funds & fun of doing innovation. Often the private firms include marketing research and other such initiatives under the umbrella of R&D, in order to exempt tax obligations.

The most effective way to indulge innovation into the thinking process starts from the basic, i.e. inclusion of universities and colleges in R&D initiatives. 4 out of 5 university graduates in India are not unemployable as they do not have right skills. Better R&D facilities at university and college level can be the game-changer for both India and China.

Both the countries do not lack in resources but proper planning and effective implementation of R&D friendly policies are required. 

Assam Is Drowning But No One Cares

This post was originally appeared in HUFFINGTON POST

Before I write anything about the Northeast, let me ask: Do we really consider it a part of India? This question is for everyone, including politicians, media-houses, corporations and even to every common citizen of the country.

Assam is drowning. Ceaseless rains and massive floods have affected 1.5 million people in 17 districts. More than 50 people have died. According to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority, more than 92,000 people have sought refuge in about 240 camps and 92,820 hectares of crop areas have been destroyed.

According to Assam's Water Resources Department, the Brahmaputra and Barak rivers, fed by more than 50 tributaries, are prone to flooding every monsoon. "The flood and erosion problem of Assam is singularly different from other states so far as extent and duration of flooding and magnitude of erosion is concerned... the flood prone area of the state as assessed by the Rastriya Barh Ayog (RBA) is 31.05 lakh hectares... about 39.58 % of the total land area of Assam." Despite this knowledge, no solid pre-emptive actions were taken by the government.

The central government is yet to announce any concrete plan to tackle the situation, and Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi is able to do little other than wring his hands and complain that the Centre hasn't yet released the Rs 387.2 crore for rehabilitationand restoration work. While Prime Minister Modi has with great fanfare announced a special "package" of Rs 1.25 lakh crores for Bihar, which is headed for elections, this largesse is missing when it comes to Assam. After all, Assam is Congress-governed and there are no polls to worry about right now.

As Assam struggles to breathe, there are no outpourings of support on Twitter, no heart-wrenching Facebook posts, no front page news. The rest of India is too busy raging over meat bans and pontificating on homicidal mothers. It is heart-wrenching to see such discrimination within our own country, by our own people. Shouldn't India be united before it can look for a brighter future for all its citizens?

It is not just a disaster for the people of Assam but a tragic moment for the whole nation.

Will anyone take notice? It is high time we try to win back the faith of the people of the Northeast.

Irom Sharmila: The Invisible Heroine

Welcome to India, the world's largest democracy! Here is a woman who has beenfasting for a cause for the past 15 years and nobody really cares. Yes, you heard it right - 15 years!

It is her conscience, her unwavering convictions that have made her the "Iron Lady of Manipur". Irom Sharmila is like droplets of water trickling into a solid rock. With her silent, resilient and persistent efforts, this frail woman has made a dent, and a solid one at that. This poetess, with her adamant devotion, is, according to me, one of the greatest women to have ever lived on earth.

Irom Sharmila Chanu's status as a heroine - and a victim of the Republic of India - started on 2 November, 2000, when armed forces killed 10 innocent civilians who were waiting for a bus in Malon, Manipur. The victims included an 18-year-old National Bravery Award winner.

In the ruthless world where people don't even care about their own flesh and blood, broken-hearted Irom Sharmila has been on a continuous hunger strike since that day to force the government to repeal AFSPA. Sensing trouble, and that too trouble created by a woman, the government charged her with "attempted suicide" and ensured that she stayed trapped between the judiciary and jail. She is forcibly fed to keep her alive, which is an obligation for government to avoid any perceived conflict. No one in successive central governments, no so-called human rights activists, no civil rights organisations ever stood for her in any meaningful way.

When I met with an accident and broke my jaw, it was the time I couldn't eat anything. I wrote to her to enquire how she managed to stay without food for so long. Her answer was as inspirational as she is: eternal faith.

With almost no media coverage and support from the "owners" of this country, her struggle against the draconian AFSPA is like a pigeon fighting against a flock of vultures, but her optimism is indestructible. There is no one I know who has suffered so much for an absolutely selfless cause.

A lower-middle class girl of Manipur may become 'Mengoubi' (a fair girl) or Iron Lady for us, but she never wanted to be this. She has a few aspirations for life, a loving boyfriend and a beautiful family. She wants to return to her life but only after ensuring peace and love for her motherland.

May she succeed!

Broken Bird, Broken Bird

Broken Bird, Broken Bird-- Get well soon

Thee have to touch the sky, kiss the moon

Fleeting are these moments, give it a try

Thee not meant to crawl, get set & fly--

Broken Bird, this scourging noon, people gonna left thee alone

Don't despair, sing the song of hope & let them mourn

Broken Bird, feathers are growing again, thee lost nothing but fear of pain

Life is even more beautiful now; nothing to lose & gain-- 

I Know They Gonna Leave You, They Were Never There.

"The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of circumstances."

-Aristotle

It comes with pain, it brings misery, it take-along solitude-- Ho, it's not that tragic accident, it's you! Let me tell you it's a transformation, an opportunity to meet your own consciousness. People die every day, death is the greatest virtue and only truth you're going to answer for your life. Accidents happen for a reason, it happens to conceive you that life is beautiful and it is even more beautiful than you ever thought before. Accidents make you fearless- no any amount of pain can hurt you anymore, no any amount of botherations can make you worrisome, no any amount of hatred going to belittle your love. 

Take a bow, you've beaten the death to take yours life away. You're blessed with an effortless destiny. Give your life a second chance, do not let yourself believe it had happened to you. Start living again, be your own superhero. Love everyone, put a heart in the crippling soul, make others realise that it is the only moment you can live forever. Laugh, make them laugh, soothe their aching-- you gonna feel eternal happiness. So that when death will come to hunt you again, you could die in peace and contentment.

I know they gonna leave you, they were never there. Those who are still here, they were always there. Do not cry, do not waste your precious tears for those who couldn't wait to put you on feet again. They have no spirit to feel your pain, they have no audacity to kiss your rolling tears, they had no spine to say that they still love you. Life is uncertain, unjustified, unpredictable- there's going to be another day, the day they never ever imagined of. Smile, you loved them unconditionally. Bless them anyway, they are meagre souls with necessitous hearts. 

You can't stop, you have to go on. Life brings the fortitude when you have no privilege to choose from. You may never going to forget the anguished times, but ages gonna fade your memories. Feed your soul with all the things you ever dreamed of. Believe yourself, thank almighty for everything you have today. 

Live, smile....

Why "Anna Majhi Satakli."

As the government has decided to introduce an ordinance in order to amend the existing  Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013, hysterical protests against it has been enraged by opposition parties and social activist Anna Hazare. In my point of view, such changes are pro-industrial and have nothing to concern about farmers. Modi's fanaticism towards Make in India and his promises to curb the 'red-tape' may be the main reasons behind it. 

The current bill has a provision of compensation for those who do not own the land but work to cultivate it. The proposed amendments will increase the apprehension that the poorest of poorer sections won’t be benefitted from it. Amendments will place them nowhere.

The govt has amended the section 10(A) of the bill, which immunes five sectors (national security, defence, rural infrastructure including electrification, industrial corridors and housing for the poor including PPP) from 80% “consent clause.” Which means “no question needs be answered” while acquiring even fertile land. I am not surprised if Mr. Modi is now acting like the puppet of corporate houses. Such “authoritative” amendments would exploit poor people even more. Though govt has tried to balance it by adding some acts which were not included in previous version. But again it won’t help poor.

It’s time to support Anna Hazare and to revitalise the presence of opposition in the democracy. No economic growth can be achieved by creating the vacuum between rich and poor.

"Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay."

Charlie Hebdo Massacre:The Result of Strife Between Western Sanctimoniousness and Islamic Zealotry!

“I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it”

- Evelyn Beatrice Hall

The reaction that Islamic extremities had given to Charlie Hebdo, is iniquitous and reprehensive. This will further aggravate the situation and deepen the gulf between Islam and rest of the world. Apparently, the world is slowly moving towards a nasty situation of hostilities between religions.

This incident is the result of strife between western sanctimoniousness and Islamic zealotry. Freedom of speech is th latitude but not the license to do something unacceptable. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, adopted during the French Revolution in 1789, specifically affirmed freedom of speech as an inalienable right. The Declaration provides for freedom of expression in Article 11, states that:

“The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law.”

What Ccartoonistsof Charlie Hebdo were doing is totally absurd, stupid and poignant. Lampooning the believe system of a particular religion on the name of ‘freedom’ is disgraceful. You simply cannot mock a religion or anything, which prohibits doing so- it’s immoral and terrible for peace.

But the way that three blockheads had chosen to avenge the Prophet is even deplorable. Mohammad ElBaradei famously said, “There is no religion that was found on intolerance- and no religion that does not value the sanctity of human life.” Killing someone is not justified and it would never be. Such acts will not make Prophet happy, nor it is going to do any good for Islam. Time to sought-out things in a peaceful manner- an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

Open Letter To Sh. Ravinder Raina, MLA (Nowshera- Sunder Bani Constituency)

Dear Mr Raina,

My heartiest congratulations to you for being elected as MLA of Nowshera-Sunder Bani Constituency. Your victory was an unambiguous verdict of the people who are hankering to glimpse a change in their lives. I still remember the day I went to cast my vote, it was as difficult as mounting a hill without feet. Yet I didn’t let my broken leg to serve me as an obstacle. It was my belief for a better tomorrow which led me to abide the affliction.

People utterly believe your action-plan and they have a conjecture that ‘achhe din’ will turn-up for them. Not just the new challenges awaiting you, there are ample voids and huge disappointments are kept in regard by your predecessors’. And you have to conquer all. You may not get the support of people within your own party, whom I wrote too. They are merely concern to their own sphere. Time has gone when people used to elect parties & MLAs in lieu of liquor, blankets and delicious meals. That’s why people slapped hard on the face of R S Sharma with alms of 1088 votes. People didn’t vote BJP, they voted you. They voted a man whom they find alike, who can affix them.

Sir, there are numerous problems; it may take us to write an epic. Yet I noticed that; what we have, even it is not up to the mark. We have hospitals, but not enough doctors and beds. We have schools, but not enough teachers and class-rooms. We have roads, but not enough bridges and busses. We have pipelines but not water flowing into them. We have poles & wires, but not electric current passing through them. And so on and on and on. Let’s start from here; we can address this with minor efforts and maximum benefits. Rest of the things may go synergic.

Anything is possible, it takes an adamant of determination to transform the dreams into reality. We are with you in this journey of change. Together we will see a new day- better and bright.

Yours Sincerely

Why Indian Men Rape?

Quite an engrossing topic, isn't it?

Here's the problem lies! I contemplated about it, and finally googled.

To my consternation,  I got About 4,26,00,000 results. What really relevant was a few analytical facts presented by some really good newspapers, organisations and journals. Right from Washington Post to The Guardian, every article had virtually tantamount view.

Is it the 'deprivation' of sexual needs or brunt of modernisation, is it offshoot of marrowless system or male resistance to women empowerment. In India everything seems wrong, rape means a life of misery and melancholy. 

Aleteia describes what is it with Indians and Rape?  

"It would be easy to say rape in India was a recent phenomenon, a by-product of modernization."

Here are some culpable facts inviting the doers:

• India has the lowest number of FEMALE officers among Asian Countries. As low as 7% in  the national capital.
• In New Delhi, only 1/3 policemen are available for of general citizens while rest are providing security services to various politicians, bureaucrats, diplomats and others. As per THE TIMES OF INDIA, there is one officer for every 200 citizens and about 20 officers for every VIP.
• The Reuters TrustLaw Group named India one of the worst countries in the world for women this year.
• A 2012 report by UNICEF found that 57% of Indian boys and 53% of girls between the age group 15 to 19 think that wife-beating is justified.
• Indian Judicial System is next to the word pathetic. India has 15 judges for 1 million people, while China has 159. It would take 466 years to get through the backlogs in the capital alone.
• As per National Crime Records Bureau, there is an increase of 900% registered rape cases in India over the past 40 years.
• In every 20 minutes, a woman is raped. One out every three victims is under 18 & one out of every ten victims is under 14.
• As per a study in 2011, one in four Indian men admitted to having committed sexual violence. 
• There is a higher probability that only one out of 100 rapes is reported.

I have used a weird but undeniable method to identify the chunk who may be proactively indulge in Sexual Assaults:

India's Sex Ratio is 943:1000
Total Population: 125 Crore Approx 

As per the sex ratio, there is a difference of 57, which means the shortage of women to have a normal relationship. India has more than 65% of the population below the age of 30. So, it's common for the young minds to revolve around the word,"Sex."

Correction to these technicalities is strongly required. Empowering and educating the women can ameliorate the stigma of male dominance. Start it from the basic, shun the puritanical habits and talk about it on your dinner table. Teach your children to respect women as much as they accord to deities. Treat victims with love, empathy and care. And gradually a better society can be formed.


There is a lot to talk about this, and the onus is ours to carry it on....

The Political Blitz of Sunder Bani-Nowshera

As the ferocious battle of  #JammuAndKashmir assembly elections is forth, I wish I could be there to confab and relish the hysteria. Political satire is something I find fascinating now a day. During my recovery process, I contemplated it to a greater extent.

Being a dweller of Sunder Bani-Nowshera Constituency, I have so many expectations. And the burden of expectations remained insurmountable for all these years.

I heard that they are working to build a bridge on my way to home. Do they know that I cannot cross the 'Nullah' with a broken leg? No! It's just political dogma.

Unlike me, many suffered economically, physically, mentally and so on. There is no hope in the political conformity of my area

The 'Sarpanch' of my village is still a missing character, nobody seen him (at least in our locality) after his swearing-in. How can I hope an MLA to visit us? It would be the day of eternity. Isn't it?

Last time I heard that people voted a person who endowed blankets and liquor to them. I don't think this much is the standard of my people. Eat, Drink, Enjoy but do not vote for the candidate who is bestowing such offers, such people will keep you and your children retrogress. 

Sully Prudhomme famously said, "GREAT ARE ONLY GREAT BECAUSE WE ARE ON OUR KNEES." Let's rise and fight for our future. Right from the living standards to medical facilities, from education to employment; we are bereaved!

I do not have much knowledge about candidates who are fighting for the crown, nor I am voting this time because of my meager health. But I am sure you all going to choose a CANDIDATE whom people 'dislike the least.' 

My wishes to Sh. Surinder Choudhary, the man with a moxie. He is most accessible among all candidates and my personal favorite too. Sh. Ravinder Raina, the newest face to the locality, charismatic and full of energy. He holds the supreme dynamism of Sh Narendra Modi. Sh. Rajinder Sharma, the man who changed the story of his own village. Sh Ravinder Sharma, whose MLC candidature didn't bring something over the nix, hopes are still on.

We are way ahead to the last assembly polls, let us be more pragmatic and choose the candidate based on the performance. A day to rise above from politics of abashment and greed is awaiting.

VOTE FOR A CONSTRUCTIVE CHANGE 

मृत्यु जीवन का रंग है ||

मृत्यु जीवन का रंग है, समय की डगर पर चलना सबको को संग है । 

क्या होगा घबराने से, कौन रोक सका है आने जाने से,

पहचान सत्य की भली, बाद पछताने से ॥ 

जीवन-रस को यूं चखा जाये के मोहब्बत के मेहखाने में गर्दिश न रहे । 

तृष्ट मन से हो अंत समय का सामना, कोई अधूरी ख़्वाहिश न रहे ॥ 

साहस हर मुश्किल का मोल है, हर सीख विप्पत्ति की अनमोल है । 

मृत्यु जीवन का रंग है, समय की डगर पर चलना सबको को संग है । 

-सौरव 

thou & I, together- a paradise!

Thy sacred touch, feathered the soul

as if dew kissed a delicate flower!

recherche, in a trice- made us forever!

as ever I saw a day balmy and higher....

a gentle kiss was a brook of nectar,

tastier as ambrosia, serene & breezy 

eyes drizzled love, the depth beneath eternity

overwhelmed a thousand seas in a while...

thou & I, together- a paradise!

Narendra Modi- The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, Rewinds!

The rise of Narendra Modi is not the history of decades, it happened ferociously in a shorter span. He has won not just elections but mindshare too. Interestingly, the world's largest democracy voted for a man who was relatively known, de facto considered an anti-muslim. Two things has drove Modi to the greater heights i.e. track record in Gujrat and second one is the sombre dream of 'development.'

Modi's hyperactiveness is an eclat and hailed as prominent statesman of today's India. It is not a right time to justify his tenure as PM but the thing I find him adept with is the 'Timing' and his authoritative tendency to hallucinogen his listeners.

I have started my new read TEAM OF RIVALS, a political genius of Abraham Lincoln. Forthwith I realised there is something common between two greats. Abraham Lincoln was also not that known before the tenure of president. The New York Herald (May 19, 1860), commented on Abraham Lincoln's nomination for president as:

''The conduct of the republican party in this nomination is a remarkable indication of small intellect, growing smaller. They pass over... statesmen and able men, and they take up a fourth-rate lecturer, who cannot speak good grammar."

Abraham Lincoln got president-ship over his superior rivals because he was shrewdest and canniest among, so Narendra Modi too. After becoming president, Abraham Lincoln had offered all important ministries to his rivals and befriend them. Modi raised the slogan 'Sab Ka Sath, Sab Ka Vikas.' He moved a step ahead and stole the name of Mahatma Gandhi, the foremost business Congress had to yoo-hoo. Modi started afresh with SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAN and gave a new identity to brand 'Mahatma Gandhi.' surprisingly, Rahul Gandhi felt the heat too.

Things didn't let-up here, Modi challenged one of the most eminent leaders of Congress to join SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAN, Shashi Tharoor accepted it and got sacked as spokesperson of Congress. Recently Narendra Modi retweeted the picture of Shashi Tharoor and praised his initiative.

People are looking at Modi as a game changer and an ambassador on development. His success in Lok Sabha elections and recent triumph od Haryana & Maharashtra shows the intent of people towards the future. Modi is a master of action, his proactive approach acknowledged his vision. He knows how to drive the horde. There is a least chance for the opposition to ascent in upcoming days.

Leo Tolstoy described Abraham Lincoln as-

"The greatness of Napoleon, Caesar or Wahington is only moonlight by the sun of Abraham Lincoln. His example is universal and will last thousand of years.... He was bigger than his his country-- bigger than all the presidents together....and as a great character he will live as long as the world lives."

Modi has a long way ahead to accrue such glory on the pages of history. Expectations are Everest high!

This Diwali, are you really concern?

Hey Wait! You Serious?

You buying crackers for your kids & perceiving them safe? Fire can't be a source of amusement, it burns. 

I am not sure whether your child has ever given a thought to the history behind it, the significance of brightening, which source should brighten. Crackers? I am not sure too, if God likes it. Well, if it could have up to me, I would have run away. Onus is ours to handover the eternal grace & value of culture to upcoming. And a defile environment would never let you do this.

Come on, pay this perishable amount to someone like Twisha, here is the link:

http://www.souravraina.blogspot.in/2014/10/save-twisha.html 

Do it for her life & God would do it for you, and this cycle would make the world a better place. Isn't it?

I don't believe in lecturing you the hazardousness of every cracker you put on air, nor I feel doing so. But I wanna remember you that the most of the crackers your child gonna bust, are manufactured by children of his age. Child labour is worst than slavery!

Ample amount of Carbon Dioxide, Sulphur Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Potassium Chlorate we are going to breathe in next week. Hundreds would die, thousands would get injured, lakhs of birds & animals would suffer. 

&

PM would broom for us again to let the streets clean.

Happy Diwali !

Save Twisha

Twisha Makwana is three and half year old & the only child to her single mother. She is born with very rare birth defect isolated “Long Gap Oesophageal Atresia,” which prevents her to eat/feed by mouth. She had undergone around 20 operations (major & minor) to fix her isolated defect with no success. & had many close calls. Since then Twisha is given a spit fistula on her chest to drain her secretions/fake oral feed out and in getting her nutritious via Gastrostomy feeds.

Twisha needs true primary repair. She needs to get to Boston, MA, USA for her further medical Treatment.

In Boston there is a special clinic- Esophageal Atresia Treatment Clinic run by the Specialist Doctors and the team where they offer the world best treatment for the babies like Twisha.

They have invented a special technique named “Foker Procedure” to repair LGOA babies. In this procedure they stimulate the growth of missed Oesophagus by traction sutures. Baby is kept sedated and paralysed for couple of weeks/months. When both the ends of Oesophagus are grown long and come nearby like overlapping on each other, they are sewn together.

This Diwali, let us join together and save her life. Her mother is struggling hard to make 7.5 Crores for the treatment. Your little kindness can save her life, make Twisha & her mother smile.
