ACQUIRING A VENEER OF SOPHISTICATION..........

Acquiring a veneer of sophistication or resorting to a sophistry of words does and cannot mask your true self, biases, prejudices and contradictions; everyone's view is one's own and casting aspersions on the integrity of the person who does not subscribe to your considered view and cow tow or submit to your point of view is not only detestable, condemnable, but also leaves a sour taste in the mouth..........
My beliefs are very own and the same have been acquired through forty four years of existing, learning, absorbing, imbibing, evaluating and educating oneself all the time and making concerted efforts to improve one's lot all the time; the words I use are only a reflection of the language of my heart and soul and only a means of conveying the concerns of the same..........
Throwing stones at me, calling me names, casting aspersions on my abilities and integrity without making any effort towards knowing me, understanding me, my values, my beliefs and the causes I espouse.........
Narendra Modi has always been and will always continue to be an anathema to me and any amount of name calling, brow beating and intimidation will neither change or make me couch my intense dislike for this highly divisive and autocratic figure in diplomatic niceties............
I am one of those people who diligently gather every stone and rock cast at me and build an edifice of mammoth proportions with the same; I only conform to the sound and language of my conscience, care two hoots about what others have to say about me simply because I do not live in a glass edifice and cast stones at other's political leanings and beliefs...........
Yes, I have been actively associated with the India Against Corruption Movement since the very day of it's inception and am immensely proud of the fact that I took to the streets and raised my voice against the tyranny ,corrupt and immoral practices of the two so called national political parties and their regional avatars as I have always subscribed to the dictum that these two entities have bartered away the economic wealth of the nation and repeatedly mocked the poor and downtrodden sections of society for their narrow and sectarian political interests...........
In my humble and considered view, the Aam Aadmi Party and other such political alternatives that not only espouse clean and corruption free politics and more importantly put their money where their mouth is are the future and the only panacea to our glorious motherland's numerous ills..........
The two so called national political parties have only latched onto the corruption bandwagon because the popular support generated by the Aam Aadmi Party and it's unprecedented success has only served to put the fear of god and a popular backlash amongst the political establishment.............
If the two called national parties are so concerned about the bogey of corruption then let them prove their intentions by cleaning their augean stables, sack tainted and corrupt ministers like Babubhai Bokhadia, Yeddyurappa, Ashok Chavan, Veerbhadra Singh and numerous others from their rank and file, put up their audited accounts on their websites, disclose the name address and identity of every donor and subject themselves to constant scrutiny under the purview of the RTI act................
Arvind Kejriwal's methods may be questioned and his eccentricities might be the subject of intense speculation and ridicule but there is no doubting the veracity and seriousness of the subjects and issues raised by him, the fact is that the Delhi Police has become a law unto itself over a period of years and things would have been far better had they been reined in in the aftermath of then prime minister Indira Gandhi's horrendous assassination..........
Instead of reining them in and introducing the long awaited and much desired police reforms, the two so called national political parties have instead preferred to politicise them and use the same as methods of intimidation and coercion against their political opponents.............
The situation is the same be it Delhi, Gujarat, Mumbai, Raipur, Bhopal or then anywhere else, the existing police police forces are being used as an extension of the political machinery, blatantly misused under the guise of so called VIP security and to garner monetary resources to embellish the already burgeoning coffers of the established political parties...............
I have had the pleasure of being a resident of the national capital for an immensely long time, yes, I am the first one to question the language and methods employed by the besieged Delhi law minister, but there is no doubting the veracity of the fact that Khirki extension and the adjoining posh Sainik Farms area are indeed dens of debauchery and questionable virtues; the entire world and it's cousin is aware of the fact that drugs and other narcotics are the chosen currency in this part of the national capital, but, alas, the Delhi police seems to be blissfully oblivious of the same....................
As regards the Aam Admi Party and yours truly we are constantly introspecting, questioning our beliefs, values and practices every given minute of every living day, we unequivocally speak our minds without fear or favour, do not extend diplomatic courtesies towards others nor expect the very same, our consciences are the only tune that we pay heed to and will continue to do so to our last breath................
