Democracy ..A joke

Yesterday i saw a note "The 61^st  Republic Day  Celebrations on 26-Jan-2010 9:25 AM onwards ". I doubted majority of the Indians dont know what's that abt. So i m jotting my frustration on most of the indians who are very gud at thinking but never took the initiative to do and always living in the fantasy of being a super power and discussing proudly abt a half naked indian who is responsible for their present glory.

Is democracy a joke in India? To a patriot, this question may be offensive, and hopefully to an alert national security officer, suspicious of an anti-social element. If not, which is the way most will retort, then why is it that I find myself in a society where justice is bought for a price?, and where those who have "connections" have access to their rights,As we all split ourselves into clusters based on our religion and region .

"It is the way things are", "Grow Up", "Stop living in a dream, these are the realities of the world" - I am sick of hearing these patronizing shit. Of course I know the truth, I can see it in front of me. But to be honest, I am disturbed by the truth. Actually, it is more like I now choose to be disturbed by the truth. 

Exploring Paris ..

     The Eiffel Tower is amazing, it’s true. And the Louvre and L’Arc de Triomphe are massive and impressive. All the things you’ve heard about Paris, in fact, are true. It’s a city of immense beauty and wonder and rarely does anything disappoint.But still, many of its charms are in the small nooks and lesser-known areas. If you wander off the beaten path, you’ll be rewarded with small delights like hidden courtyards, homemade ice cream and cute old-timers shuffling down cobblestone streets with their baguettes in one hand and French bulldogs in the other , beautiful French girls and Old People playing Petanque .
