aam aadmi ab pratham aadmi


  • It was Narendra Modi all there in the newspapers and social media for the past six months.But the Delhi Elections changed the scenario..Now it is Arvind Kejriwal all over.


This 45 year old, former IRS officer's conduct has changed the  very idea of what politician and political party would be.He has reduced the distance between the people and politician.The name of the party itself indicates that he is one for the common man,among the common man-AAM AADMI.The crowd in the Ramlila Maidan on the swearing in ceremony  was unimaginarble..It was around one lakh twenty thousand  people thronging in and around there to witness their favourite leader..that was double the amount of estimated crowd to be present,Long back when Anna Hazare fasted in the same Ramlila Maidan and if someone would have told that Kejrivwal would become chief minister of Delhi you would have brushed him away saying Nonsense.But today it has happened.Leave alone the big big words the newspapers are using to describe him,In simple words let me say he is an Achiever- He dreamt of something and made that happen Hatsoff to that remarkable quality,I was reminded of the movie -Mudalvan in which Arjun becomes Chief Minister for one day and tries to transform the system,The reel has become real. His election promises were solutions to water,power,inflation and safety to women.Lets wait to see this man doing that..The first piece of show itself proved that he will do it.When the tricky question of acquiring support from Congress emerged  Kejriwal wanted the people to decide through sms and phone calls.. Who could even dreamt something like that would ever happen?The way he speaks and the method he work signals us as if he says  I am with you.  He reminds of a neighbourhood youth who can be trusted.
lets wait and watch!!

MADIBA..AN ICON OF PEACE

Though the media has been flooding in and out with life history of Nelson Mandela and the Internet has been overflowing with each and every detail about him.I felt that on my part I should write something about this great man..Nelson Mandela ,who was often called as "Gandhi of South Africa.."
                               
While the world had forgotten Gandhian principles and theories,he came in there and proved the world that Ahimsa and Satyagraha could always win.He demonstrated his characteristic firmness in pursuit of Justice.For a man who was imprisoned for nearly thirty years of his life who struggled against the white minority rule to bring down apartheid rule..Whatever great titles he was conferred with..may it be  Bharat Ratna, Nobel Price or the Gandhi Peace Price..it shall all be very small when compared to the millions of hearts which he continue to rule.Leave all his early life he became the South African President in 1994..,Mandela was a man of charisma,he continued to play a prominent role on world stage.He formally left public life in 2004 at the age of 86,but is still remembered with the same fondness as of his early years.
                      Three U S presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George Bush  attended his memorial service to pay homage at Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg..,The gathering was with nearly 100 world leaders with a crowd of 80,000 people ,braving the rain. Earlier Princess Dianas funeral recorded more than a million people attendance to pay homage at her funeral at West Minister Abbey in Sep 1997.,.In Moscow five million people waited in a line that stretched to 10 km to see the father of the Nation Joseph Stalin in 1953.. On tuesday ,Dec 10th, people from all walks of life stood united to show their respect for the "Giant of History"as Obama called him.
.INTERESTING FACT TO KNOW:
 Though the world know him as Nelson Mandela,South Africas anti-aparthied hero has five other names including Tata..At birth he was given the name Rolhahla Mandela.He was named Nelson at primary school..Mandela is also referred to as Madiba, Tata and Khulu...
                                     GOOD BYE TO
                                    ONE OF THE WORLD'S
                                       WONDERFUL MEN..
