Anna Hazare Fast Goes On! Political Plunder Rages On!

The 74 year old crusader against corruption continues his fast unto death--entering the eleventh day today. Destroying our hopes of breakfast lunch and suppers for the last two days. Anna Hazare is becoming the hottest trump card for almost everybody involved in the process of fighting corruption.

Everybody is benefiting from Anna. The members of his team are riding high on unprecedented mass support and do not seem ever wanting to lose it. They are talking gesticulating and dictating not bothering who is before them. Anna's frail body is their constant source of inspiration.

The government seems to be in all sorts of dilemmas. Do it, don't do it, promise, don't promise, find a solution, camouflage it and so on! The Prime Minister delivered the positives on the last two days consecutively, but somebody or the other within would inevitably utter something contrary to the scheme of things or create whirlpools of confusion diversion and utter dejection. Constitution, parliament, law, democratic procedure etc are the most uttered words conveying no commitment attached to the very words. Anna's frail body is their constant source of strategy building.

The opposition political parties seem to be making the best of all worlds. They have a godsend opportunity to side with a good cause and make all the gesticulations in support of it mustering the undivided attention of the masses and shedding crocodile tears in plenty. Secondly and most importantly, they are having the greatest entertainment of all time seeing and pinning the ruling party against the wall. Bill or no Bill, they are set to the course of embarrassing their rivals to the maximum extent possible. Anna's frail body is their constant source of gleeful merriment.

168, 184, 193! All rules galore! Hope imprisoned in them. Maybe tomorrow's likely Parliament debate on all drafts of Lokpal Bill  yield some ruling. Maybe hoping against hope!

Anna Hazare must realize the 'reality show' of his fast and give up it up as soon as possible so that he can effectively lead the sea of humanity to the deserved goal and build his dream country.

Seasonal Shots!

 The fast unto death of Anna Hazare continues on the tenth day today. Lots of discussions, mediation and parliamentary debates for two days.

A breakthrough seems imminent as Prime Minister of India addressed Parliament today making way for meeting most of  Team Anna's demands.

Till then, lets enjoy shots of Mumbai's rainy season!

See you later!

Anna Hazare Sets The Essential Qualifications!

• You must be well behaved.


• You must have a liberal frame of mind and spirit. 


• You must be without a spot in all your life and career. Spotless honesty, that is to say.


• You must be capable of sacrifice for the cause of the nation and people. 

Only if these essential qualifications are met you are eligible for participating in Anna Hazare's revolution to eradicate corruption.  You are welcome to be married and having a small family; but you must have 1 to three hours a day to devote for the bigger family that you have outside your four walls. Most importantly, you must be capable of sacrifice, okay, not to the extent that Anna himself did by adopting a life of celibacy and spending all his life of 74 years in a 8 by 10 temple room at Ralegan Siddhi, Maharashtra.

Anna Hazare, on the sixth day of his fast, gave a rousing address to over 100 thousand citizens gathered on a super Sunday at Ramlila ground, Delhi this eventful evening. It was like Gandhi come alive, Anna speaking comfortably seated on the dais often putting on and out his specs and then after the speech sipping a glass of plain water and lying down for rest. The crowd was cheering clapping and appreciating every word uttered by the second Gandhi.

  There were huge crowds and processions all around in major cities of India. Hundred thousand at India Gate, Delhi, another hundred thousand taking a five kilometer procession in Mumbai--said to be the largest gathering ever in this workaholic business hub, and so on with other equally electrifying scenes. A welcome change already--people sacrificing their weekend trips and television sets. A revolution against corruption has finally and truly taken shape.

The CHANGE is imminent. The clock is ticking for CHANGE from now on. This will be the beginning of the CHANGE. Now, all must have patience for the realization and materialization of this CHANGE. Let the aftermath of the CHANGE prove all rightfully concerned supporters including this writer and skeptics and cynics wrong!

Beware! O' corrupt ones! Anna has arrived! And, the legend lives on!
