Ascendency to Presidency

It has been a while since i visited my blog to jot down my musings, Gone are those days of College ka Chokra and suddenly the Aam aadmi effect has kicked in with Job and Monetary responsibilities which has shadowed my time towards Blog but i hope to be regular fro now.

A major part of my day involves commuting and this gives the time to go through yesterday's updates in today's newspaper which does help in time go by, the whole scenario of India has changed in the past 18 to 24 months, Petrol Price, Multiple Scams,rising inflation to which i was indifferent suddenly start to pinch and i wonder about the future. But as always the country before it can grip itself and look at the problem  objectively to solve it media will throw a spanner into the works and create another story to cover it and the perfect one has been the presidential election


The fact of the matter is that the president almost has an autonomous role to do whatever he wants to the country which is why we had legends like Dr.Prasad, Radhakrishnan and Abdul Kalam to absolute Duds like Zail singh and later Pratibha Patil who have never taken the spot light to highlight issues. The recent row over who should be the new president is quite amusing, It is on the front pages of all major news paper ! I question why ? What can the public do with regard to that go and support Ram Jethmalani on his candidature ? An incident in which the public has no say is flashed wide and loud to masquerade our falling ratings and investment levels, Clashes over Agriculture and Food Minister (Do we need two separate ministers at the first place ? Job evaluation should be done ;) ) amongst others. The whole question of who needs to be a president can easily be decided by the seniormost people in the houses and decided than asking Allies nominating People representing various communities and then putting personal favors (mamata Backing Manmohan so that Pranab Becomes PM) makes it feel colloquial and worthless. How many of them also want to be the president ? Possibly none do you want to represent this sad situation now

Let there be a president who decides in Five years he can keep the treasury stacked up (Government's and personal) and be a Light bearer

Cheers 

Arvind  !!
