Friendship Day!! Krishna or Karna??

Yesterday, while murdering my time on FB, I got one silly app that asked few questions & mapped me with one Character of Epic MahaBharat.
I got myself as Karna. My Most loved Character, as loved as Lord Krishna.

And seeing Karna, my thoughts wandered through his dolorous life. One by one thoughts kept hoping and reached in present time and on Friendship day. I remembered few days back there was this Friendship day.
I never wish or celebrate this day because I feel it's unwanted celebration. However never I have any objection to those who celebrate it. Just a matter of personal choices.

However I strongly feel about sharing of picture of Krishna & Sudama on friendship day. I think that is wrong notion of Friendship, rather people should share picture of Duryodhan & Karna.

If You see relationship of Krishna & Sudama. It was more of Giver & Taker. Lord Krishna took care of his friend in his dire times. That's big heartedness & humility in Krishna's character. But this relation is not relation of equals. I would have loved it had Sudama taken pride of himself and declined the givings. Moreover this friendship was never tested.
Then there are some who contest it saying Lord Krishna is God's incarnation & he can give. Well that point is taken, but then we all know God & human relation is more like Father & Son, rather Friends.

When it comes to Karna & Duryodhan. Then this relationship was so special. Duryodhan,  offered his friendship to a low caste but highly talented man. Karna accepted it. Duryodhan's friendship brought Karna respect & honour in society while Karna's friendship in turn shielded Duryodhan from his opponents though his loyalty & war skills. This bond was so strong that Duryodhan who wept death of his 99 brothers, cried inconsolably when Karna was Killed. He even declared that even if he wins his victory would be meaningless. He would however, continue to war to revenge Karna's death rather for kingdom. Karna on the other hand, defended his friend Duryodhan, even after his life secret got revealed to him. That he actually is fighting against his real brother when fighting for Duryodhan.
Both loved & trusted each other, un-conditionally.

Such is the bond of friendship, which even if tested against real blood relations, stands tall.
So Belated Happy Friendship Day! May we remain Friends Like Duryodhan & Karna.
FB app has told me that I'm Karna, true or not but I loved that part.

My Political Deliberation for 2014

This Political Deliberation, added crystalline quality to my clarity on-How to act this General Election. Penning down the storm of my brain here, it may help someone take decision.

Since last 6 months political scenario became interesting. This is due to a new party managed to grab the CM seat in Delhi.
As we know any heavily advertise new product in the Market comes with lots of expectation because everyone's head has all positiveness due to the create hype. But when it hits Market, reality check happens, analyst do and so the consumer.
Such checks started for AK after his actions post election.
So for this new AK & Team I went through my check. And started to ask question to understand, are they really what they claim to be & what made me to like them. Yes I did like AK then, and wanted him to do well in Delhi.
The First Q
 ? Why did AK & Team chose to form Gov, when they could easily go for next election within 6 months. And with public on their side, they had possibility to get better results. And even if the results had come otherwise, they would have stood by their words of no joining hands.
Of Many Answer I got, I feel this scores better
- Every MP gets some allowance/pension/compensation per month if s/he take oath as member. So AK & His Folks will not get entitled to this unless some government forms in Delhi, so AK had to grab it. And being a new party with tight financials, this is acceptable, AK has done the right thing.
The Second Q 
 ? Why did he accept support from congress
    Congress was the party, fighting against which AK & it's party got it's existence. Then Why Them? Many answers floated in, Like it's no alliance, congress support at their will, etc
 - Got no good answer to this, but I got back faith in AK, when he said Congress will Regret Their Decision to Support them. Unfortunately when he self resigned, I looked back and did not got even one instance which I could say congress might have regretted even a bit. The only person AK filed FIR was Mr Moily that too it came out that they were building platform for creating agenda for General Election.
The Third Q
Mr. Bhusan's comment came on J&K & on Naxalites. Bhusan is a founding member of AK's party, I have always disliked him for his actions/comments, this or even previous ones. But my focus was AK, & No One.
 ? So I wished to know what feelings does AK has on India's Unity & Sovereignty?
Kejriwal never spoke directly on this comment (or may be I missed it), however his party did say it's Bhusan's Personal thought. Later in an interview when AK was asked on various party members with Anti-Indian, Separatist, etc tag, AK said, we (he & his party) accommodate variety of people.
What!!, this was such a lame response; variety can't be such kind of people. If it means all, What if Sheila Dixit wants to join you, what if Afzal Guru/Ajmal Kasab wanted to do so (had they been alive)?
Moreover AK's party continued getting support specially from people like Binayek Sen, Arundhati Roy, Amartya Sen, Medha Patkar, etc. And they even declared they are willing to take even International Don Daud. This is heights.
And my all Hope on AK ended when he, as CM of Delhi, gave a shameful statement about our Republic Day this year. It certified, to me, he is not what he claims to be.

Since then various news, stings, discussion, act of vandalism, etc clearly shows the difference in his words & action. He has no Big plan for this country, what AK really has is One Big Mouth. With so much difference in his talks on & off camera, clearly shows AK, a Paltu (Mr. U Turner).
However Still one Last Question was at large in my Head
Fourth, The Last Q
 ? The way he resigned as Delhi CM, it looked too desperate and uncalled for action. Why such action making a Bill, scapegoat.
My thoughts churned out the answer few days back. The National elections are revolving around RaGa & NaMo and they are a total Mismatch for a contest. NaMo has a very clear win, No wonder if he pulls Full Majority. So if such a thing happens, Keeping NaMo's age in Mind & His governance Style. AK's Party has no hope for becoming National for at least 10-15 years. And AK's only tool for fight called Corruption will loose it's steam in those 10-15 years. So, believing in "Eat it while it is still Hot", funda, he resigned to focus general election.
Just look what he has talked since he started his general election campaign. Anything on what he will do? No, or May Be, he might have printed something and kept in his party's manifesto. He mainly talks of stopping NaMo. And unfortunately, in doing good to himself/his party, AK, in turn, is becoming a hurdle to the wide good which is about to happen to this Country.

In 1964, a movie Chitralekha had a song Sansaar se Bhaage Phirte ho...
I have a Parody for AK based on that
जिम्मेदारी से भागे फिरते हो, तुम देश क्या चलाओगे|
मुख्यमंत्री का पद अपना न सके, पीएम तुम क्या बन पाओगे!
(Loose Translation: Running away from Responsibilities, how can you run a country. Couldn't hold on CM job, what (kindof) PM you wish to become.)

My Thoughts are clear. As Nationalist, India is my Choice.
In 2014, India Needs NaMo.
Any vote anywhere else is a waste. Those who plan to Do So, they Are Delaying Our Country's Growth. So I suggest them don't do this sin. Yeah, right I said this act as Sin.
