Kolkata ... Undefined in its Mazes of Life ......

Delhi ...the city of power ...Mumbai ...The city of money ...... Bangalore ...The city of Technology .... Kolkata ...The city of ???
The Capital of British India ... The city founded by Job Charnok ...... KOLKATA .....
What then is Kolkata .... ?
They say to meet every kind of people ...you must visit an airport .... where people from all classes and places take off and land ....... Kolkata is the largest airport of all .... Hundreds of different lives take off in the abysses of Kolkata ..... Hundreds of them are grounded in its shadows ......
Like all rivers meet in the ocean ...and is indistguishable ....Kolkata is the sea ....the sea where everything gets mixed ... Everything loses its itself ....and is drowned in its unending flow ........
Kolkata makes you ...kolkata breaks you ...Kolkata teaches you to fly ....It gives you wings..... Kolkata teaches you to dream .... to look beyond the ordinary horizons .....In its bylanes infinite dreams are hatched ..... infinite poems are composed ....and its quicksand-esque reality gorges on those infant dreams like vultures on a wingless bird .......
In Kolkata everyone runs for a race ....In kolkata we dont live ...we survive .....where stopping spells dooom .... but kolkata it gives you chance to take a stroll in its race ...it gives you a chance of reflection ...It gives you a choice .... It gives you a space to stop and look around .......it teaches you how to cry ...It teaches you how ...even in despair ...you can smile ......
What is kolkata then ...Its a maze ...The maze of life ....Where everyday thousands try to find their life ...where every turn has got something waiting ....At the end some people do ...some dont .... Some people get lost in that maze ...Those unsaid words lose their way into its depth .......yet that maze ... In its maze the essence of Kolkata sings its song ...Its poem of love ...... and it weaves its magical web ....the Web of life itself ........

POLITICS ...Redifined .......

Once ....a reporter asked a presidential candidate "What do you think of your opponent ?" ...The candidate " Who is my opponent ? We are just two patriots trying to run the country in two different ways " .... What is the defination of a political leader? Isnt political leaders are essentially "LEADERS" who are supposed to be doing the most important job of running the system ????? Arent political leaders supposed to be in different political parties based on different ideologies .?????


Now let us look at some of such "political leaders" and such"politics" in front of us . Suresh Kalmady , the person who brought tissue papers worth rs 350 and "rented " fridges with Rs 40000 ...... Mr A. Raja the person who caused a loss of one lakh crores to the central government .... The Chief Minister of Maharashtra , Ashok Chavan who went on giving away flats to his relatives when those flats were meant for Kargil war heroes ..... When we come to our political leaders , there is no shortage of examples ..... Lalu Prasad Yadav ...convicted of criminal cases and yet running for a chief minister ..... Lets look at the parliament ..... it has been stalled since 11th November and no work has yet been done ....the opposition and ruling party have locked their horns over a JPC and it remains disfunctional ...... Each minute of a parliament costs around rs 1500 ...till now the loss for not running the parliament has been 61 crores ...Does any of the political leaders know the value of that money is when every minute 5 children are dying around India due to hunger only .....

Now let us see another image of Parliament .... HONOURABLE MPs shouting and screaming in the well for "A PAY RISE" and trying to grab Hamid Ansaris micophone ..... What is the parliament ...a zoo full of monkeys or the most important office of the country deciding the course of history .....


When you ask a child what do you want to become in future ...we get occasional replies as "engineer, doctor , scientist etc" but never a politician .... the image of politics have got tarnished very badly ...negetive politics hurt politics as a whole rather than the politicians ...In our own state The TMC is behaving like a bull running at any sign of red that appears in the horizon ...the fight of ideology has been replaced by personal vendetta and personal abuses ...Mamata Banerjee went as far as insulting the wife of our CM let alone insulting him ..... Politics has turned a bloody circus in West Bengal .....And it is bleeding profously .... more than 350 CPIM party workers have been killed in Lalgarh .....killing has been the order of the day in West midnapore ...... Everyday there is one or more dead body lying in the streets and it has been so common that people are just walkgn past it as it is that of a dog ....... A child of eight , had to write "Ami CPIM kori na" in a slate in front of her fathers dead body to allow it to be cremated ... These killers call them Maoists ...hell they dont even know who Mao Tse Tung was .....


In all of these ...who looses out ... Nothing but politics ...as the common man loose their faith on poltics we tend to loose our trust on the government and the system thats running us .... What is poltics ???? It is supposed to be public service ...... It is supposed to consist of the most honourable political leaders who are dedicated the cause of this country ...When we see them creating havoc in the parliament for their salary to be raised .......We can see that they are dedicated ...but dont know about their cause ........

There was a dialogue in the film rajneeti "zindagi ka sabse barakhel hai rajneeti "

Like this going on .....I leave it to you to decide what is rajneeti .... the biggest game or the biggest "tamasha".........
