India Against Corruption brought Arvind Kejriwal to lime light as figure not less than an epitome of honesty potent enough to garner support of the masses creating an illusion of utopia paving way for the formation and meteoric rise of the Aam Aadmi Party appears like a dream or a reverie from which no one wishes to wake up. The promising dream seems to have changed into a nightmare with revelations one after the other tarnishing that ideal image to lowest standard of political propriety.
He came like Caesar ‘I came, I saw, I conquered’ but the turn of events forebode an altogether different ending i.e. Caesar was stabbed by those on whom he built his trust while our Kejriwal ditched those who build their trust on him. We visualise Anna Hazare, Shanti Bhushan, Kumar Vishwas, Kiren Bedi, Shazia Ilmi, Kapil Mishra, Ashutosh Gupta, Yogendra Yadav and the likes uttering with bewilderment “You too Kejriwal !” Same is the plight of the common masses who bestowed their faith in him. Their dreams and aspirations to witness a better governance stand shattered as his real face is being unveiled.
I cannot but philosophize on basic nature of man as the poet and saint Tulsidas says, “Nahin As Janma Jag Mahi, Prabhuta Payi Jahi Mad Nahin”. That is to say “there is no such being born who does not get intoxicated after having positioned in a position of power”. Lord Acton’s dictum “All power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. Only a man endowed with strong character and detachment (Vairagya) or mortification can handle power with objectivity and judiciousness. Weaklings are likely to fall prey to power.
The Delhi Liquor Policy case and the house renovation case have raised eyebrows of political fraternity within the AAP. Galore of irregularities of serious nature indicating gross corruption have surfaced in front of the investigating agencies. Moreover, the public opinion is rapidly going against the Kejriwal Government so much so that Party workers at the grass root level are losing enthusiasm and confidence. Some top brass of the party are poised to benefit from the rapidly changing power struggle equations.
Stories about the so called ‘Sheesh Mahal’ are trending on social media distorting the caricature created by Kejriwal of Kejriwal in 2012. A crusader of common man and an embodiment of simplicity and honesty acting as a foil to the VIP culture is being seen as weak man who succumbs to the intoxications of power and becomes prey to greed, luxuries, aristocracy and illusioned by false self-belief commits blunders. His incapability to wield power is depicted in the manner he appears to handle the media by giving exorbitant adds just to veil his miss governance.&nbsp;
When a man is intoxicated by alcohol, he can recover but when intoxicated by power he seldom recovers. He might say one day like late Nixon after infamous Nixan-Gate, “its’s all over”. —The Hawk

Rahul Gandhi’s hit-wicket out has caused commotion, panic and confusion in the congress giving opportunity to the sycophant admirers of the angry young man. The image of Rahul tearing the ordinance comes to our mind and the irony of the situation is “Had he not torn that ordinance and allowed the ordinance to pass he wouldn’t have to worry about losing the rights and privileges of an MP after his conviction.
Words matter, and the right words matter most of all. In the end they are all that remain of us. Never ever underestimate the power of your words. Their power can lift you up or pull you down. As an observer and listener to his words, I have a feeling that he has been too ‘rash’ and probably taken too much for granted his position as immune to law. Does this feeling of immunity not make anyone careless? He could not find better words to connect and communicate with the masses.
His heroics or misadventures with words are so many that the BJP spokesmen are calling him a ‘habitual offender’. That was one reason why the court could not take a lenient view of the case against him.
It is also sensed whether his so called advisers have instigated or fanned his ego to bring him to such a pass. There is in fact a feeling in the party members like the G-23 and their followers who believe that congress’s doom is inevitable under his leadership as he has failed time and again. The new situation allows congressmen to play the victim card and gather sympathy.
Now that the damage is done, the first family and the party is taking stock of the situation how the ‘BARAAT’ has to be led without a ‘DULAH’ and how the situation could be cashed into sympathy wave to ride on it to success and reclaim the lost ground.
However the whole incident seen as Rahul Gandhi as a central personality pumped up by sycophants burst up and envenomed himself with his unreined and vicious tongue. The tragedy is that his so called advisers with a hidden intention did not advise him to beg pardon in time. He had four years to settle the matter.
Words Matter;
‘it’s all nonsense’.(while tearing the ordinance)
Chowkidar chor hai. (rendered apology in SC)
Sare chor modi hi kyu hai. (2018,karnatka). —The Hawk Features

Haridwar: An investigation into the slaying of a young guy in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, has been brought to light because the ransom money was not paid. In the neighbourhood of Ram Dham Colony in Haridwar, a young man who was operating a pathology lab was kidnapped. The kidnappers initially demanded ransom money from the young man's relatives, but when they refused to give it, the kidnappers killed the young guy.&nbsp;According to the source’s, Bahadarabad resident Kartik operated a pathology laboratory at Ram Dham Colony of Ranipur Kotwali. When Karthik failed to return home on Thursday, his family began searching for him. Not knowing anything, his father Prem Chand reported his disappearance to the Bahadarabad police station on Friday morning. Meanwhile, on Friday evening, the kidnappers contacted Karthik's mother using her son's mobile phone in order to extort a ransom of seventy lakh rupees. Karthik was also threatened with death for refusing to give the money.&nbsp;Consequently, a case was registered under CRPC-161 and then missing report was converted to 364/A.&nbsp;The senior superintendent of police Ajay Singh constituted a police team under Rekha Yadav (SP Crime), Swatantra Kumar (SP City) and Niharika Semwal (CO) Jwalapur. On investigating, the police succeeded in identifying Nipendra through CCTV footage. On being interrogated, Nipendra admitted to have killed Kartik with the help of Shahdat Ali living at Dadupur on rent. In a speedy action, the dead body was recovered from the bathroom of the rented room. The mobile forensic team rushed to the spot and began to collect evidence. Shahdat Ali had been doing the job of sampling for the last eight months while Nipendra had joined just 3 months ago. Aware of the fact that Kartik was the only son of Prem Chand who owned a house worth 70-80 lakh, Shahdat Ali and Nipendra conspired, planned and executed the crime. They had planned to throw the dead body into the nullah and escape with the ransom money but were nabbed by the police. The senior superintendent of police Ajay singh has declared a sum of rupees one lakh to the police team.

Man is seldom rational in his behaviour nor does he always aspires to be one. In fact most of his learning is through imitating his fellow beings. That is how he learns his mother tongue but sometimes he tries to be rational and should be. Let us try to evaluate the facts and historical truth to assess whether there is any iota of scientific fact or history backed reason to celebrate New Year.It was Julius Caesar who used his authority as the dictator of the Roman world to fix the seriously messed up Roman calendar at the time. The Romans had to regularly adjust their calendar to synchronize it with seasons and over centuries their calendar got seriously messed up. It was 67 days ahead of the true year. This prompted Julius Caesar to bring about a change whereas ours (Bharatiye) calendar was scientific and mathematically accurate or flawless.The number of days in a month were whimsically increased just to satisfy the Emperors ego. That is how July and August have 31 days. The whimsical increase in the middle had to be adjusted in the end. As the last month of our true and scientifically proven year was February so it had to have two days less i.e. 28. This also goes to prove that the true year prior to the Roman Calendar did not begin with January.Now, it is also interesting to learn how the names of the months were named. January was named after the name of the Roman God Janus, February after the Roman festival called februa, March after the name of Roman God of war Mars, April after the Latin word ‘aperire’ meaning ‘to open’ (just as the flowers do in spring), May after the Greek Goddess Maia, June after the name of the Roman Goddess Juno, July after the name of the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar, August after the name of the Roman’s first emperor Augustus. But the names of the months from September to December are just named after the numbers septem, octo, nonus, decimus meaning seven, eight, nine, ten. That is to say, December literally means tenth then how do we have it as the twelfth month?They tell us the meaning of the first syllable of these months and miss out on the last two syllables i.e. ‘ember’. Actually ‘ember’ is ‘amber’ (i.e. Akash/Heaven). Dr Sudhanshu Trivedi explains that if we divide the position of the sun in relation to the earth in twelve parts. The Sun is visible in one zodiac during one month and thus we have twelve sankrantis in a year. Sankranti is the transmigration of sun from one zodiac to another in Indian Astronomy.So Julius Caesar could not change the unchangeable eternal law of Sanatan but being slave to his whimsical desire and to satisfy his ego farwarded January or the Roman God Janus to be the first month in his unscientific or whimsically contrived calendar.Let us leave aside the differences of civilizational war or culture but can we leave aside reason?Should we not be sane enough to know the reason why we do certain things and why we shirk from doing other things. I know certain sections of our society are blind followers of the west and there are still others who do not hold any opinion at all. They only follow what others do or flow with the current or the trend as if they would be left behind if they don’t do what the trend is. This is compulsion not freedom.Our New year begins with the first ray of the sun while Roman Calendar begins at midnight when all the negative powers touch their optimum level of potency. Furthermore, is such a time an auspicious occasion to make resolutions or wishes. Is cosmic intelligence and energy in tune with your resolve or wish? Are we being rational or mere slaves to unscientific whimsical idea of celebrating new year two months before it actually happens? Why twelfth month is called the tenth month or vice-versa? Be sane and looking into the facts will pay.&nbsp;
