Any nation in this world since time immemorial cannot exist without leadership. Take a group, tribe or a country, people need leaders to endure. A leader has vision and pluck to take everyone on a path which will lead to certain objective and beyond. If you look back into history, there were kings with their state forces chiefs in a kingdom. Moving ahead in history, the required proviso for a king changed; for example in Mougal era, emperors before becoming emperors served with their army in provinces and led their army in battles. Lets come into modern era, most of the US presidents had undergone military training in their youth.  Leadership of a nation is based on two pillars in the modern era. The first pillar is politcal leadership and the other pillar is military leadership. Remove any of them and the spine of the country will break. Oh now you must be thinking that politcal leaders are corrupt and incompetent in a country like India. I don’t agree with you my friend...

Almost five years back, India and China were competing in the African continent to capture the economy and set up new business ties with the African nations. It was a close call, and India lost to the China. Well, there is no shame in accepting the defeat but it will be injustice, if we don’t try. India hosted the Indo-African summit of 2015 and which has reached to a successful end. It was important for India in order to strengthen its business ties with Africa and overcome the defeat given by china in terms of economy. Great move by Indian think tank but the question is what we have gained from the Indo-African Summit 2015. Let us discuss our gains which will not concentrate on the megapixel of the image but we will focus on the pixels. It will be enlightening for all of us, not just the ministers of Indian government. Now, Indian Establishment knows where Niger is on Map. Do you know? 1. Niger falls in Sahara desert of West Africa. 2. The neighbouring natio...

Yesterday night, I was reading an article on my iPhone which was ruthlessly criticizing the Prime Minister of India Narender Modi. The blogger is Pritish Nandy who gave advice to the Prime Minister through his new blog post. Pritish Nandy opined the prime minister to listen to the critics . Well he slated the Modi government on focusing more on destroying the image of its rivals rather than just ignoring them. Well, I had to accept the fact that if the government would have snubbed the saga of returning awards then the issue would have not been given such great prominence by media. Now it has turned out to be a boxing bout between the government of India and the people who are in opposition. This morning, I woke up and switched on the news channel which is the first most thing which I do each morning. I was bomb shelled to see that Modi made a statement stating that Indira Gandhi made sacrifice for the nation. Last night, he was criticized for the intolerance towards...

Morning, I woke up and it is a ritual made by me to check the statistics of my blog and the traffic sources. What people are reading on my blog and I expect that more than the old articles they are escalating my new work. I saw something unusual today; few of the visitors checked out one my three years old articles. The article is about the recipe of beef stew . Well, I have never cooked it, but it was composed for one of my foreign clients who had requested for the recipe but later on did not like my work and rejected it. I don’t like my work to go as a discarded, so I published the article on my blog. I again reiterate my words, ‘I have never cooked the recipe’ . Now, you must be thinking why I am getting so apprehensive about the beef recipe? Actually, I belong to a country where the burning issue right now is ‘Beef eaters’. Calling themselves as the representative of one of the creeds in this country, they believe that it is unethical, whereas there are people ir...

When earthquake came in Gujarat almost a decade back, I was in Agra in cosiness of my parents. When earthquake hit Nepal recently, I was enjoying the fun of mountaineering and Ice climbing. I have never experienced an earthquake, and I wish I will never experience it again. But I think my life is diminutive and god wants me to experience every good and bad thing. Ten minutes back, earthquake hit my place and I was lying on bed. Suddenly, my bed started vibrating as if someone is making love on it. Obviously, I was alone and not making any form of love and I felt may be it is my illusion. My room attendant came and informed me that earthquake has hit the place; I rushed outside and felt the light vibration of earth. The waves in the stagnant water on earth were telling us that it is still on. As the seconds passed the vibration reduced and after sometime completely disappeared. Still, fear in our mind made us to wait for few more minutes outside our building as no one ...
