Anna is Back

Anna and his team are back after a hiatus. Some would have expected them to do their homework at least this time round and come out with a proper road map. But alas... going by the tirade there hardly appears to be any other than publicizing the event. Allegations. Just allegations and former bureaucrat, a former IPS, a former Supreme Court Judge and even a Law Minister want FIR to be filed against a set of ministers based on allegations. That's really something. Going by the same principles if I have any allegations against any of the Team Anna member and FIR should be registered against them as well. I am damn sure however these so called civil society members would not apply these same measures to themselves.

True, there are a lot of corrupt ministers who have been elected to Parliament. But who elected them? The people. The people who voted and the people who did not vote. Why is Team Anna refraining from supporting the election reforms the Election Commission is trying to bring in. Why is it they are not working towards educating the people of perils of voting wrongly or not voting at all (again some of the Team Anna members did not exercise their option to vote so looks like a difficult task). That reminds me what our beloved Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi said, "We must be the change we want to bring this world." Put this filter to Team Anna and you realize why the efforts are not taking off.

There is no dedicated or consorted effort. There is no vision. Just a desire. A long term plan has to be chalked out. Given the expertise that is available at hand with Team Anna they need to invest in creating better candidates, educating the voter and working with the youth rather than just setting deadlines. I am well aware that is a demanding task but worth trying out. For it is not those who are sitting the Parliament who are going to be the future of India but the youths who are out there and needs to be tapped into. For it is them who are going to form the future and have to shaped for creating a better India. 

Till then no matter how many times Anna makes a comeback the effort is going to fizzle out and soon there won't be any fizzle left either.

Day One -- What Am I Going To Write About?

To be honest, I’m not sure. I didn’t have a plan for this. A few ideas popped into my head yesterday, but I let them slip away without writing them down. So now, I’m here, wondering... What should I write about? I’ve always admired how writers seem to find the words. They don’t just tell stories; they make sense of life. Whether it’s fiction, essays, or poems, their words flow effortlessly, drawing you into their world. It’s like magic—captivating and transformative. Somehow, they’ve mastered the craft of turning simple words into gems that stay with you long after you’ve read them. And then, there’s me. I just write. I let my thoughts spill out, raw and unfiltered, without much structure or thought. No carefully woven narrative, no grand flow—just whatever comes to mind. Sometimes, I wonder if I’ll ever get to the level of those writers who make it all seem so easy. Maybe I will. Maybe I won’t. But right now, that doesn’t matter. What matters is that I’m writing. I showed ...

Day 2 - What's Your Purpose?

Have you ever truly asked yourself, What’s my purpose? It’s a question many ask, but few genuinely pursue. We often move through life, following routines without stopping to consider why we’re doing what we do. Many choices are made simply because "that’s how it’s always been done," without questioning the deeper reasons behind them. Think about it: How often do people choose a career because it's popular, without ever asking themselves, Why do I want to do this? It’s rare to pause and reflect on what drives us at our core. But those who are in pursuit of purpose— they ask the important questions. They don’t just accept choices blindly; they challenge the status quo, question the outcomes, and evaluate the significance of their actions in relation to their larger goals. Purpose provides clarity. It’s the compass that guides decisions and actions, ensuring every step is intentional. It’s not just about achieving success; it’s about creating meaningful change,...

Day 3 - The Power of Letting Go: Why It's Okay to Give Up

In a world that glorifies perseverance and celebrates grit, we're often told to keep pushing through no matter the cost. "Winners never quit, and quitters neve win" has been drilled into us since childhood. But what if sometimes the strongest, wisest choice is to let go? What if walking away could be your key to unlocking a better future? There are moments in life when we know—deep down—that continuing down the same path is futile. Yet, we keep going, fueled by hope that maybe, just maybe, things will turn around. We tell ourselves, "I'll give it one more try," even when we know it's unlikely to work. So why do we hold on? There are many reasons, but they often come down to fear: What will people say? Will I be seen as a failure? How can I let go when I’ve given it my everything? I can’t imagine my life without this. There must be a way to make it work! These thoughts cloud our judgment, keeping us stuck. But the real point is not the reason...
