Featival of Democracy, all are invited

-

The bugle has been blown, the festival announced, throwing the country into frenzy,
The corridors are buzzing, the markets are in pendulum motion, the prime times extended and the debates are at the highest decible.

The print, social, physical media are in a huddle playing the cart wheel and predicting the juggernaut.

Every corner of the country and age group is in discussion mode, the tea is overflowing at the corner of the street,  the corner rooms are getting aligned, adjusted and bonds unbinded, coalitions regrouped, the shopping fervour for the festival is picking pace, wallets loaded and price tags pinned.

Are the revelers equally enticed, are they excited are they ready to participate in the dance, get tranced in the faith of democracy. Is the devotee the deity or the deity wants to appeal to a large population of devotees.

Will time tell a different story of, halfed participation by the devotees, atheist attitude towards democracy, without exercising the vote, the breed of armchair critics growing.

When all are invited why are only few people participating in this festival which matters to everyone without any discrimination.

Why is this festival loosing sheen for few,  the spends on this festival are high, the streets decked with cut-outs, banners, danglers, calling for attention, but failing to connect with few. 

All are invited but few still feel uninvited, it is the responsibility of people who feel invited to get the ones who feel uninvited to participate in the festival

Casting one vote in the upcoming festival of democracy is very much important but to influence a million around us is far more critical, there is generation who are looking upto us to makebthe right choice, there is a generation which will cast their first and pave way for more festivals to come.

It's time to invilvebthe community, bring the change, use our sphere of influence, enhance the sphere, spread the faith in the festival, make the change, steer the course of the country.

All are invited

My Confession on My Tryst with Public Policy

During my visit to the recently held Bengaluru Tech Fest, to meet and network with Tech enthusiast, founders and thought leaders, I was moving from each kiosk to other, understanding the innovation in the Tech space and the way it is changing the lives, processes and every aspect of human civilisation. I wanted know how the Tech is pivoting the businesses. The passion and spark in each of the participant at the kiosk representing her or his idea, was infectious, the zeal to change the world and lead the country to be a flag bearer of tech innovation.  As I passed through various kiosks, I saw the kiosk of Takshsahila, the name intrigued me, I had briefly read about the institute in the past and has seen the office once, when I visited the neighbouring organisation. I was curious to know what they were doing and trying to showcase at the Tech Fest. Here, I was greeted by Carl, who slipped in a captivating sun kissed flyer with details on their flagship program GCCP (Graduate Certificate

Park Calling Park

 Summer of '94, In the peak heat of April, I managed to get tickets of Jurassic Park for the family, after standing in queue for few hours and to get better seats in the holiday rush at theatres and the rave reviews this movie had received, firing imaginations of the viewers globally and India. The 2.5 hrs we spent in the Park, was captivating and this transcended us into a different world and that stayed for few days, the following days our dining table conversations  centred around the discussions of Mammoths, Dinosaurs and huge parks to visit, the evolution and devolution of these Mammoths. I remember asking my self and family, whether we will get to see these in our lifetime. Cut to 2024, with Dalas based Colossal,  the biotech company actively working to reincarnate the ancient beast. Has received $60 million of funding and they are confident of de-exitinction of the woolly Mammoth and putting them back in Siberia and other places by 2027, this news article blew me and took me
