Delhi Elections 2013

It has been more than a month since the Delhi elections' surprising results and a new party coming in to form a nebulous government. While their commitment to clean governance is commendable, what worries me is if they will make the next parliament of 2014 a hung one too? Will they carve out their own set of MPs along with the Third front and the BJP?

It is evident that the skyrocketing inflation and the ridiculous "schemes" of social welfare floated by the Congress has not sat well with the electorate as the financing for these social schemes have come at the cost of high inflation as no productive work has generated the revenues required for the higher expenses.

Will democracy in India stand the test of time once more? Will the people in India defy all logic and poll gurus and decide their own mandate in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls?

Another New Year: Let Time Celebrate You

Time. In India, it is represented by a wheel that keeps turning and hence comes back to the same point ever few measures of "time" while in many other parts of the world, it is a linear proposition of adding 1 in an infinite number line of years rolling forward.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says, "Let Time celebrate you!" and I wondered how that would manifest in my life. What are some of the gifts that time brings my way as I move through it? How about "suspended" time when in meditation where all sense of space-time is dissolved? People, things, events, situations, thoughts, ideas come my way and some stay, some slip by while some vanish entirely.

It has become so much easier to just be in the present moment and let the moment offer itself up to me in its entirety and I just celebrate it! The fireworks can be heard through the window.

Happy New Year!
