Last Decade (Part 3 of 3)

WATER WORLD
One year of my college life was over. Still, which I wonder now, I use to go tutorials. Here I was sitting in my class, some instructor came and inquired about those not present. At that time I heard or was showered with the knowledge that Mumbai is having this heavy rain preventing those guys coming to Kanpur. Lucky I thought. Reading some articles and googling deepened the well of news.
So what went wrong my little philosophical mind grunted. India's real estate was on big boom, but booming real estate, lot of fdi in this sector and other favorable times led to big rise of concrete jungle. But our beloved government has a big role to play, and as we know gov is not that fast, efficient and as liquid as money. So someone was not on schedule otherwise. Resulted in this horrific ramification. Inept situation can be blamed to corruption, money centric real estaters, etc etc, but somewhere we are responsible in big way.
TOWERING INFERNO
What went wrong, nearly at 9 at night Anuj, my friend, called me. Hey see the news. Big towers literally skyscrapers, WTC were on fire. Burning and kind of falling. It was class 9 and I can blame on my ignorance that I thought that after getting a big blow in Kargil, these Pakistanis must have done so, coz they were hoping US will help them but he didn't showed up. Then it was first time I kind of got aware with International Terrorism, which is my favorite topic now a days, and read about that, saw on TV etc etc. War on terrorism and US is going to destroy another Muslim country Afghanistan and I feared that this would definitely lead to the road of mistrust.
Here we are trying to finish the unfinish business after 9 years.

Second Inning

Winding up my busiest month of life I finally got the opportunity to get in position for second inning. This doesn't seem much different from Cricket. Either I will be bowled out, or I win or the third option is still alive There will be a draw. Any options I face I have to play. There is no backing out left :). Now around four weeks are passed and I am finally acclimating myself, I still don't feel much changes expect now I stay awake late night studying rather watching series or movies. Looking back I recall two most important incidents till now 1. The welcome week, the long standing ceremony of IIM-A. It was something different and really savoring. Tastes good only if you are on the other side of table and you know you have cooked an excellent dish. On the side I was, I was eating it loosing my gustation. and 2. There are hell lot of courses and hell lot of reading material. But one course which is different from any other is understanding ethics. Course is a bit more ...

Time has come Series 1

Baby is born. With hand closed showing how determinant he is. As we grow up and life pass we open our hand gradually. There are only two possible reasons for it. Either you want to embrace new persons, make friends or you want something. Both of the reasons may be good sometime or may be bad. It all depends on the current scenario. There is a famous saying in Hindi, 'In bad time you have to make even a donkey your father', so you might be opening your hand for friendship in a similar fashion. But do we really realize the meaning of birth we have taken. I don't know how many of us do realize that fact. Even I don't know what I am supposed to do on earth, besides eating and sleeping. These two only seems to be my life.

Pervasive Odor of Democracy

Dream An effective democracy is one in which practices such as equality, liberty and fraternity have spread throughout society. This should not limit itself in governing relations between states and citizens but also relationship among citizens. Effective democracy gives rise to redistributive pressure from below. Public goods, safety, common law, redistribution of income should not be only in written form but also in practice. Without this substantive dimension, democracy becomes unsustainable. “Political democracy cannot last unless there lies at the base of it social Democracy”. On the social plane society is divided into mountain as high as Mt. Everest and as low as Mariana Trench. This condition also prevails in economic plane of India. We proudly upheld the notion of “One Vote One Value”. Notwithstanding, the unparallel terrain of social plane systematically denied it. Social Democracy is a sacred marriage of equality, liberty and fraternity. It is the natural balance which gets...
