What the heck!!! It's gonna be almost an year and I've not put up a post on my blog even once :(

This "starting a blog" thingy has always been in my mind - thanks to the hundreds of blogs I go through and a equally good no. of mentions by my friends.

And then came the idea of making money out of a blog. Gosh! That was a great idea! Who doesn't like to make some quick bucks on the trot, 'cos all you've got to do is place your backside firmly on a seat in front of the computer and type away - and Lo! You've got your coin box tinkling...

Sigh!!! If it was only so easy. Some things were conveniently forgotten.

First, it's not that easy to "place your backside firmly on a seat in front of the computer and type away" - I am quite lazy. Even if I manage to sit down to type, three keystrokes down the line, my mind just goes blank. What next? What was the topic, theme I was thinking about? Everything gone.

Next is that "coin box tinkling" matter. That does not happen to the best of writers for the simple reason - readership/viewership. In other words, the number of hits your blog gets. There are some other stuff too which factor in raking in the moola, of which I am blissfully ignorant.

Today however, I have made up my mind to start posting stuff. Anything and everything that would come up in my mind. And I hope to continue to do it...

The After Effects of BJP Winning Uttar Pradesh

Importance of this huge UP mandate, and the ways in which it will spill over, beyond today's results. Parliament and State Assemblies BJP & NDA gain majority in both houses of the parliament. They are also in power, in about a dozen state assemblies. This will impact two issues. Presidential Elections   Narendra Modi and Amit Shah can comfortably appoint the person of their choice to be the next President. In line with this, they can - the must - use the additional support to appoint the right people in key institutions - and I hope they go into serious detail, not just stopping with Governors and Chief Justices. We are in a dire need of replacement for those old fossil remnants of a foregone socialist era. The institutions needs a thorough spring cleaning, and dynamic, vibrant and dharmic personalities should be appointed to key positions.  This is so, so crucial because all we have are self-important, dynasty loyalists, sitting in seats of influence, begin

Are we honest?

These are protesting times. A large number of people have taken to the streets - I don't know the real numbers but I am being assured that there are thousands of people on the streets, taking long marches, holding candle-light vigils etc - protesting corruption. I have covered the movement and the ripples it is creating in my other blog. So, I am not going into those details again here. I have a few basic questions though (as usual). What is it that the people are protesting against, essentially? Yes, we know it is corruption, but corruption does not sustain itself. It is perpetrated by individuals. That raises the next question - who are the individuals that perpetrate corruption. Or to simply state - who are the corrupt individuals? Are only those who take bribes and get involved in scams corrupt and dishonest? What about those who pay to get driving licenses without attending the exams? What about those who encroach upon a few square feet next to their own properties an
