Flying Domestic Flights? Make Sure you have Life Insurance

Now this is what I call as complete disrespect of Human Lives.

In India, Flying in an Airplane has always been considered ‘The Thing’.
From last month or so, I am seeing news and reports about fake pilots, blind landings, and what is our government doing apart from DGCA’s futile tries to setup a  committee to find who all have fake piloting licenses (Till yesterday they only screened 20% of all the registered pilots). Till they find all the fake pilots, the flyers will always be ‘Bhagwan Bharose’. Come on People, do we need another ‘Anna Movement’ to wake up the responsible people, or a plane crash.

Between 7th April and 10th April, Six airlines did a ‘Blind landing’ in Goa. God forbid, if something would have happened and 200 people could have lost their lives. who would have answers to the families and friends of these 200 innocent people. Manmohan Singh? Vijay Mallaya? or DGCA? Every body would have setup another ‘good for nothing’ committee and down the drain???

Why is life of an Indian so cheap? Is there any one who cares about us apart from out families and friends?

Why is it that in India we always need a BIG wake up call (Anna Movement) for people responsible to sprung into action, be it CWG or 2G or fake pilots?

I wonder who will have answer to these questions of mine? Do I go to Court to get answers? Court is meant to do justice and not wake up people responsible?
If for everything we go to court, then why do even need the bureaucrats in first place, we can very well have LLB and LLMs?

God knows ??? Does even he knows what’s happening in India, I wonder!!!

Next time you fly, make sure you have well written Wills and power of Attorney and Life insurance apart from your boarding passes!!

May the power be with you!!!

Jaihind!!!

Is India Going to be Next Egypt? Excuse Me….

First of all let me be bow down to the Great ‘Anna’. He is THE real ‘Anna’. His Gandhian way is simply inspirational. As the Great man himself said ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’ and our anna is a prime example of this.

I was going through some twits today and saw one from Great Madhur Bhadarkar. It goes like this
mbhandarkar268 Madhur Bhandarkar
Overwhelming momentum generates in for Anna Hazare's fight against corruption. Is India gonna b th next Egypt??

Does he really understands what Anna is doing and what happened in Egypt?

Egyptian revolution was focused on legal and political issues including police brutality, state of emergency laws,lack of free elections and freedom of speech, uncontrollable corruption, and economic issues including high unemployment, food price inflation, and low minimum wages.

Some one please ask him if he really know what is ‘Jan Lokpaal’ Bill? Does he really know what is lokpal ?
People like him are just trying to take undue mileage from the efforts of Anna.
Eat this, Papu Yadav is supporting Anna from Jail (in for multiple crimes against people)!!!!

Come on people, Anna is doing a great stuff here lets not dilute it or divert it in any way. Lets not put any political color to it.

We have infinite number of example in Indian politics and society where our Railway ministers were jailed, where our Telecom ministers were guzzlers of public money, or puppets of corporate, where religious Boards and trusts were misusing the funds and assets. We definitely need a system to stop, avoid, track and punish these people and these processes. 

But calling Jantar Mantar a Tehrir Square is going a bit overboard. They had more than 30 years of dictatorship and we have more than 60 years of democracy. Just dont match.

Going one more step forward Mr Arvind Kejriwal said he want to re-write our constitution. With all due respect to Kejriwal, this is ridiculous. I know  we have many laws that we inherited from British raj, we might need to introspect in those ones, but re-writing the constitution is getting carried away.

This is a great movement and we all need to support this, but lets not get carried away and re-write things that have worked for us.

All Hail to one and only one Anna!!!!
