Lalu Prasad Yadav

Jab tak bihar mein rahega alu
Tab tak bihar mein rahega LALU.
A line that became so popular in the media once upon a time.Now that Lalu is kicked out from Bihar and riding the trains.I would say this man has caught my imagination.
A man who can't speak clear Hindi forget about English,and with his strong bihari accent has proven himself to India.I have to agree that he has a number of scams to his credit, but in India nowadays it seems if you don't have one you are no one.
But here is a man who atleast does some work that will benefit the common man.
The first time Lalu became popular, with each and every comedy show having a character of this guy,I felt how could people like him be respected.This worthless fool doesn't do anything,eats people's money,gives birth to a cricket team.
But what made me respect this guy was when there was a mega-sized highly media sensitized war between communist MP Vrinda Karat and Guru Ramdev about mixing human bones in the medicines.And all the views given by eminent personalities were only with respect to people's feelings.Here was one guy who talked sense.When asked to give his views this guy said that it didn't matter if human bones were added or not.What mattered was that if these medicines are able to cure diseases which costly medicines cannot.At last I heard something which referred to the Bone(Core)of the issue and from the least expected one.
And the respect for him increased when he announced the Railway Budget for this year.He ensured that the ticket price will not be increased and he has maintained this for the past two years.No railway minister in my knowledge(though my knowledge in politics is quite poor) has achieved such a feat.
All I can say is here is a man who can't speak English clearly,who doesn't dress sensibly,who doesn't care what the world thinks of him,who uses his wit to tackle situations,who has proven that with his stupid bihari accent he can do a good job.

Confusion>>A Constant Fusion

I was reading the blog of my too good friend durgi and i was really amazed with what clarity he worte.I felt so pissed of having friends so talented.They knew what they were doing and i have to add they had some clarity.
And here i am in Baroda thinking what i want in my life.I wish i had some clarity,atleast one goal that i would pursue.I am yet to find that one quality that will set me apart from others in terms of talent.With these thoughts running in my mind,the word CONFUSION striked me.I dont know where this word originated,but all i could feel by looking at it was that this word described me the best.
Confusion and all that means is the constant fusion of great thoughts which leads to chaos and the inability to seperate the thoughts into clear ideas leads to utter confusion.So i decided to dump my thoughts here and see what magic it can create.
Life is running ahead of me.
