Indian Parliament ..

The Indian Parliament turns sixty .. So what are the reflections as this is significant institution that stands for our democracy reaches at an important juncture !! With its warts and corns the Indian democracy is still a hope for the large struggling middle class , the underprivileged – the laypeople who can exercise their right to select a government of their choice .But those choices are getting less bright by the day . Politics has such a powerful influence in our lives – both directly and indirectly . Instead of saying that politics mirrors society it is society that mirrors the politics !! Such is the great Indian democracy

Drought in Maharashtra

 

There is a terrible drought in Maharashtra ..Some places where the situation is terrible   are not more than 50Km away from Mumbai . There is lot of study , tours etc happening . But are the  impacted people finding any real relief …even as they reel with pain and misery ..

The drought also reflects the drought of human values and speedy action and where there is plenty of apathy .
