Inspired Inspite

Yesterday I happened to listen to a song whose lyrics go...

"Chino arab hamara...Hindustaan hamara...Rahne ko ghar nahin hai...Saara jahan hamara"

A movie made in the year 1958...a hard hitting spite at then India's foreign and domestic policy ...

The contemporary corridors of Indian foreign and domestic policy must be echoing with these lyrics...

You think you are wise at 42...or...the masses do not deserve their m

You think 42 is the answer...if you do so yet...let me take the pleasure of informing you how right you are...or left...depending on how you lean...or how further away from the truth you are...

You think the heaviest rains in the last millennium caused all the floods in your city...brought life to a standstill...made you stay at someone else's overnight without your husband/wife making a noise about it...you could not be more wrong...the city council is always right...the rest of the city thinking otherwise...they had planned the city drainage capacity to perfection...to withstand the heaviest of rains...they had planned all new constructions (public, private and condominium) with their large swanky swimming pools to perfection...

What they had not planned for was a synchronized cleaning of all the large swanky swimming pools in the city coupled with the heaviest rains in the last millennium...and the rest is as they say "all swell that end swell"...aren't we all fools to have thought otherwise...

Yes...you are welcome to not believe...but you might as well believe Google Earth's satellite shots of Mumbai which show all those large swanky swimming pools in all details...almost all...
