FIND THE SILENCE WITHIN

judicial activism and land sealings in delhi

judicial activism is being aggressively pursued by the judiciary in India , which seems to have found a new mecahnism to assert itself over the excutive.
however to my mind and understanding this can lead to a complicated and often fierce struggle for power and even one- upmanship in the current (socio- economic) landscape of indian politics. this is because: as the realities of the coalition politcs are crystalizing, the powers and the nature of it is experiencing a phenomenal change. coalition has its own benefits but gets in its package- certain compulsions which are 'more' natural to sprout in multi cultural and multi faceted dynamics of a competitive democracy. this often results in bargaining of the kind which is no doubt demeocratic, but very often so complicated that it renders political stability a unique level of precariousness.
although our judiciary is dependent on the mecahnism of PILs for this to kick start, but then in this land of polarities and differences, its not hard to find.
the ongoing case of land sealings and demolitions as well as the resultant struggle (which took a ghastly turn just a few days back)in and around delhi - is a befitting example of this.

every one just about every one in Delhi knows that the delhi development authority (DDA) could achieve only 16% of the development in all these years for delhi. in the political and administrative capital of an infant nation, this was way too less to cater to the rising tide of requirements and expectations. quite obviously the govt.(central as well as the relatively young state govt.) were aware of this. in an indirect way this meant that the development and infrastructure work shall spread according to growing private need and initiative- a fact which was seconded through govt. action of providing legal COMMERCIAL power and water connections and collection of regular property taxes from these establishments.

agreed that the government (esp. the state govt.) has been pro- trader in delhi, but this is more about private initiative and effort filling in for ,where the govt. provisions seriously lacked or simply were non existent.
the honourable judiciary seems to have ignored this point or atleast greatly undermined it.

however, today the news has come in that some relief is being offered to small etablishments which has certainly opened a window for the rest.

let wisdom prevail.

nothing- not a thing

so much to write
so much to say
at one level it is all bubbling up inside
urging to come out
and the next moment
it is all farce
just a thought
a mere thought
what is its relevance or identity
it is nothing but a mere thought
a rising wave
which is meant to decline

quasi yoga..is it possible?

whats the use of that yoga, which is half hearted??
if the holy river ganges flows to my doorstep even
and i feel awed and glad that it has bestowed its kind love upon me
what is the use, if i do not make full use of that special blessing?
what is the difference then between half hearted recognition and no recognition at all?
there is only one truth..the only and the ultimate truth

oh! my beloved,
You are the omnipotent and omniscent and therefore omnipresent...

tumm binn bigadi kaun banaye

Pcube explained

politics is such a dammned word. i want to find out if the word, as such, is so rotten as it is often made out to be?
could it be that it has been misused to such an extent, that it is about time, someone took up the challenge to strive towards extracting justice for this subject?
so many people ask "what is scentific about political science?" and i read somewhere, someone replying to that with a- "what is cultural about horticulture?"

policy is something that is invariably connected to the politics of the country (and in these times of globalization)-to the politics of the dominant part of the world. its rather unfair, how it is "hip" to be discussing policy, but bad to practice(and in my case, to study politics)

philosophy is the 'mother of all knowledge"- from its womb all modern day knowledge and various fields and subjects of study have emerged.

even the supposed pure science fields like physics are not far removed from the eternal questions of human life, which philosophy has sheltered in itself since the begining of civilised human living...that the great scientist Einstien chose to title his most important theory as the "theory of relativity"-bears testimony to the fact.
science is no longer talking in absolute but "relative" terms. in this ever expanding universe, with human being as quinntisential core of majority of our pursuits, change is the only stable thing. so that if till yesterday, pluto was a planet, today it is not.... sooner, we humans accept this better it is
