Get your vocabulary right..

"Netaon ne yeh kaha, Netaon ne woh kaha...Neta corrupt hain, Neta ghooskhor hain.."


They all are politicians damn it, not all are leaders!


Rajneetigya bolo, neta nahin!

Key to success..

I have been enjoying my vacation last two weeks and watched some episodes of KBC (Indian version of Who wants to be a millionaire). As I watched many contestants from various parts of the country sit on the hot seat and play KBC with the legend, Amitabh Bachan, I got a valuable piece of learning -


Successful people are articulate.


Hearing about their backgrounds as they won the fastest finger first and then watching them converse with the host, I could see a high degree of correlation between the articulation of the contestants and their degree of success, success being measured by social and/or financial indicators. On the top right of this graph was the graceful host himself.


Of course, there are exceptions, as in sports. But you and I got the point, right?

Be poor, be rich, just don't be middle class...

The day before, Mom and I were returning home from Delhi and because of a traffic jam on our regular route, we had to make a detour through a lesser known village. After a long time, I saw groups of people sitting on Charpaais, enjoying desi hukka, and chatting happily. Everything was simple and it struck me how happy they seemed to be.


I couldn't help thinking -


There are the Poor and mostly uneducated...they don't know much about possibilities and they are happy..
Then there are the Rich and mostly educated...they know everything, they can buy everything and they are happy..
Then there is the Middle class...they are mostly educated, they know most things, they know the possibilities but they can afford little of these..they have learned to aspire and they spend most of their life in aspiration - aspiring for a sofa, aspiring for a car, aspiring for an aeroplane journey, aspiring to make their children 'rich'...they are the worst placed of all!


Moral of the story - Be poor, be rich, just don't be middle class!
