Elections

Guess even comets would not be that regular in hitting us, but once in 5 years (or even lesser) we have a bunch of men with different colours, symbols and women with party coloured sarees, pleading to us with raised (but folded) hands, literally begging for our valuable VOTES. . .  and of course we do not remember their respective faces..... 

well how can we? it is practically inhuman for anyone to remember a face which we see once in 5 or more years, but if you have missed the posters, fancy hoardings, flex boards, then am sorry you have a terrible vision problem and please consult an ophthalmologist immediately. . . 

On what grounds these politicos hit on us? on what belief? what confidence they have that they can fool us easily! a very powerful collateral is their "MANIFESTO", I sincerely doubt if the respective politicos go through their own manifestos??? Issuing freebies, wherever and whatever possible? right from phones to grinders? free food & drink? everything and everything is free. . . making us a bunch of lazy goons, no care about productivity ratio, individual contribution to the development, growth of the State, a direct impact on nation's growth as well. All they need is their respective chairs, their discretionary powers, authority and first citizen status. 5 years is the deadline to swindle as much as possible, topping the corrupted people chart, and parking their funds at Panama or Switzerland (the list would never be exposed by any government). 

Assuming a state has 8 crores of population deciding their leaders, say for example 230 leaders. Now, who is powerful? 

......out of these 8 crores we have the best of people put together, we have scientists, farmers, engineers, pilots, government staffs, spiritual people, atheists, artists, sports people and the list goes on. . . every individual from these verticals have their best capability of independent thinking, analysing and decision making. So if the 230 leaders turn out to be a bad choice, who is to be blamed? obvious, it is the 8 crores

We may have a lot of priorities and choices in life, but please my fellow statesmen, let's go and VOTE, and let's not get swayed away by inappropriate promises. . . 

Let's choose WELL and let's VOTE

#PALANI April 30 - May 2, 2016

Awesome drive for 3 days, was a #blissful weekend. All started  on April 30, 2016 @ 15:30hrs, started from #chennai to #palani. Chennai - Trichy - Dindigul - Manaparai - Palani. A beautiful place, pretty quiet and pious atmosphere. The most beautiful hill temple in South India (my choice). 

Myself, Mr. Bala Sir and Mr. Anand, 3 on a beautiful swift dezire, this car is a pleasure to drive. roads were lonely and tempting to press the accelerator, though we were slowed down at regular intervals by 2 parallel lorries or buses or tempos, and of course our toll plazas, not forgetting them :)  

Thanks to one Mr. Arumugam, who made our trip memorable right from the starting point at the #Winch (only 3 options to reach the hill top, by walk / winch or rope car), till the process for the darshan. . . Lord Muruga was at his best, tamizh kaduval, pious, a stage of nirvana, soulful and satisfied after the darshan. 

This weekend was a spiritual one with loads of fun, discussions, food and drive and drive. clocked 1000kms on the meter, as I always say my life is measured with the odometer. . . would certainly love to visit #Palani again and again. 

Muruganuku Arohara!!!
