A journey through the center of Hari!

"I love the dichotomy, the differences in men and women. I think it’s wonderful. It keeps things interesting. We can’t walk in each other’s shoes. We don’t know what it’s really like, but we certainly can make an effort to know each other a little bit better."

- IMDb Quotes: Cameron Diaz

"My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition."

- Indira Gandhi

We all, I hope, know that there is the other side of the coin, to every story. Especially if it is about something that is popular.

To every point of Team Anna which SEEMS genuine, here’s a totally opposite view about Team Anna & more importantly about how we may be forgetting on other issues. This article is by Arundhati Roy. Urge you to read it in it’s entirety. http://m.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/article2379704.ece/?page=all

In spite of this article & thoughts against Team Anna by many other distinguished people, I still support movement against corruption & Team Anna.

For you see, unless we make some noise people won’t hear. Like any transaction, only if we aim the sky we will reach the tree top. So all the things in the Jan Lokpal Bill may not be practical but the govt lokpal bill seems eye-wash.

Let’s hope with this campaign we reach an agreeable middle ground. For you see inspite of all this hue & cry, all the people supporting or not supporting this movement will not (and am definitive about this) want to pay full taxes. Be it direct or indirect. We will continue to buy & use things that are deemed pirated or sold by people who are by law illegal (that includes vegetable sellers on the road). For you see, we cannot afford to.

And so there can only be a middle ground & yet we need a movement like Anna Hazare to, at the least, stop things going from bad to worse.

So yeah Go Anna Hazare (thinking in mind let’s see how far this goes).

Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya

Jab ghum ka saya lehraya

Jab aansoo palkon tak aya

Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraya

Humne dil ko yeh samjhaya

Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai

Duniya mein yunhi hota hai

Yeh jo gehre sannaate hain

Waqt ne sabko hi baante hain

Thoda ghum hai sabka qissa

Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa

Aankh teri bekaar hi namm hai

Har pal ek naya mausam hai

Kyun tu aise pal khota hai

Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai

"

Brilliant article on Amy Winehouse. So much emotion without being morbid.

Its always inspiring to hear such startup story.
