RBI to break Savings of Millions of People in India

First of all, I want to talk about the RBI's decision to phase out currency notes which are issued before 2005. Though this is a very good decision as per them it will counter black money and help weed out fake money circulating in system.

Now, I want to present a picture of the traditional saving instrument which is used by Millions of people in India domestically. This is called as "Gullak" (Indian Piggy Bank).

 

Now this Gullak will required to be broken. I have one of this, in which there are only currency notes and now I have to break it. Why such decisions by these Institutions always have the bearing/inconvenience on people who are saving their money legally.

An Open Letter to Arvind Kejriwal

To

Mr. Arvind Kejriwal                                                                                    Date: 20th January 2014

Chief Minister of Delhi

God knows where you live (Do you live in Delhi?)

Subject: Common man is suffering with your way of governance and your so called Aam Aadmi Party.

Dear Mr. Chief Minister

I am born and brought up in India's capital, New Delhi. Its been 23 days now, of your governance here but I am afraid to say that its in no way a governance. Its a situation of chaos, callousness and confusion among people of Delhi. You have become a subject of mockery and jokes. I hope you read few of your jokes on internet and feel ashamed for what you are doing. I am not a supporter of Congress but the way you are ruling the state, its worse than the Congress government. Today, I feel a need of writing this letter as I have seen my Mother suffered because of you. Your so called Dharna has affected her commute and she had a horrendous time traveling to home. Due to your Dharna, she has spent two and a half hours of traveling on Delhi roads. This is not just happened to my mother. There are many other Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Sons, Daughters who have suffered because of you. The irony of this Dharna is that you are doing it for Woman's safety.

I find your actions similar to Rakhi Sawant. You are one of that publicity whore who always wants to be in the news. I don't think this is what you have been taught in IIT, Kharagpur. Do you think you are doing justice to your education? And if this is what IIT, Kharagpur teaches then I have lost respect for the Institution. I am sorry to say Sir, your priority is not Delhi. It has been changed beyond Delhi now. I know where it is going, Loksabha Elections, right? 

Earlier, I was of the opinion that giving a chance to youth is better than giving it to people having some experience. But now I have changed my opinion. I can say this openly that majority of people who have chosen you are the first time voters who doesn't know the ABCD of politics, just like you. I am not blaming them, I appreciate your way of influencing them. But it would have been better if you have influenced people who knows something about politics.

I have few questions to ask you. Why you do not stay on the things which you say?

1. You said you will neither take support of Congress nor give them. What happen? Gajini?

2. You said you will not fight Lok Sabha Elections but now you say that you will, if your party wants. Are you out of your mind?

3. You said Police should work independently. Now you want to control Delhi Police. Just want to abuse you on this.

4. Why are you not taking any action on Congress Government's scams, just because you have been supported by them. Giving only assurances, does not make any sense.

After you formed government, 3 people wearing your Party's topi came to our area and listened to the problems faced by public. But that was the day, after which no one has come to deliver what have been asked. I know you will now say that atleast they have come to listen. What's the point of listening when you cannot fulfill any of the demands. I must tell you the demands were not something which cannot be fulfilled. Its a will and commitment that need to be there while choosing political career.

Being a Chief Minister, you cannot do what you want. You have to sit on Dharna in your own State to get your unrealistic demands fulfilled. Though you got the seat of Chief Minister but you haven't progressed in this career. You are still at the same place i.e. Dharna which you were doing before elections.

"With great power comes great responsibility". You have behaved in such a irresponsible behavior. I am disappointed, lost all hopes and ashamed of you and Delhi. Keep sitting on Dharna, keep running government from there.

Unfaithfully Yours'
Real Aam Aadmi

Nation First or Family First

This is again going to be one of the most controversial/debatable post of mine. Previous one (North Indians Vs South Indians) has been severely criticized by few of the people from online community. Though no hard feelings for them as you cannot hide facts and truth is always bitter. There are chances that people will going to abuse me in the comment section in this post as well but I am ready. I am not taking any side. I am just giving views on both the fronts i.e. Family or Country. This thought is provoked by the incidence of Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi who swear on his children that he will not give or take support from any other party. But in the end, he took support of Congress and formed the government in Delhi.

Nothing against Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, but when he swear on his children, it was proved that the most important thing in his life are his children. But he still took support of Congress. So what does this prove? Country is more important to him? May be.

It is expected from a soldier that for him Country comes first. Moreover, its his duty and he is paid for that. Will the same soldier if not paid, will have the same kind of commitment. Doubting a soldier's commitment in itself is very bad and talking about them is easy. We should ask this question to ourselves. I cannot say about me whether I will choose Country over my Family. But yes to some extent, I will. It depends on the situation.

Indians had been on war with Pakistan and China. Our soldiers showed courage and bravery in all the wars. If these soldiers would have chosen Family over War, then there would be no one to fight from India and we would have faced defeat without a fight. Same things applies to soldiers of Pakistan and China. Now, if Pakistanis and Chinese men had taken their families first things would have been great. There had been no war. But since they didn't, I'm glad Indians responded in kind.

My perspective on this is that by being deployed on border, a soldier is not choosing between Family and our country but rather because of his loyalty to Family and wanting to ensure that our family and other families of our country can live in safety, he serves willingly.  Yes, this is a personal decision for each person but it does not have to be a choice between the two if the values of both are the same.
