OPEN LETTER

History my dear Arvind, Beckons

You knocked on the citadels of power. And rattled not just the Congress, not just the principal opposition but also stirred the conscience of a billion Indians. And today history is knocking at your doorstep.
The Time has come to showcase your resilient-magnanimity. Not  for your brethren and comrades-in-arm-Prof Yadav or his companion Prashant Bhushan, the gentlemen with his quixotic smile and cerebral legal prowess. Your magnanimity is for AAP. It can infuse life-giving oxygen to this asphyxiated infant.
You wept when political churnings curdled & threatened to split this enfant-terrible. You said “I can’t fight Yogendra bhai. He is like my elder brother." We deeply cling onto hope here. That you will see reason to embrace back the founding members with dignity. And I am sure Professor Saab will match your magnanimity eye to eye. And so will Prashantji’s pragmatism rise to the occasion.
It is surely not for your sake or Professors or our lawyer activist’s. It is for the nascent AAP movement. It is not just a political party, not just an alternate entity. It has been the refreshing new breeze that blew over our landscape and infused hope. It is the change whose time has come. It’s inspiration for our youth to come out of their languid apathy and undo all. The wrongs of our previous political dispensations. Our freedom struggle will finally not go in vain Sir.
An RTI activist like you, who has borne the brunt of the chilly Delhi nights, who fasted  on those streets, can’t fail to recognize the death blow this movement is facing. Surely you do mean to have a Lokayukta in your party. Like the famous cine artist who declared solemnly that “Mere Paas Maa Hai!’’, wouldn’t you want to have Rear Admiral Ramdaas to on your side?!! What ails you my friend? Where indeed is our hero who burst on the scene to catch the imagination of the youth as dramatically as the Hero who came out of the “Phata Poster’’.
Believe me, it is never too late. Even if the doors have been closed, they can be opened anew. And there can be nothing greater than that to stump the political outfits and their hand maiden, our sting news channels and electronic media. As you infuse new life &vigour into AAP, I am sure your hacking cough will also disappear.
Do heed Sir. This parting of ways of yours and Professor Saab’s will deeply hurt the AAP movement. You will not be able to see an ordinary AAP volunteer eye to eye, their dismay, dejection, despair are too stark to miss ‘’Woh Subah Kabhi To Aayegi, Who Subah Kabhi To Aayegi” janab.
A fervent prayer on my lips. History is at your doorsteps. WAKE UP SID.

Regards
DrChitralekha J.S.

Month-in-Perspective for October 2022

New Delhi : All living beings are in transit through this sorry world. The day our mandate is over we just have to vacate the space, doesn’t matter even if it’s Buckingham Palace. So, the reigning Queen of England left her mortal self to rest in her eternal space. She is no more. Elizabeth Alexander Mary, born on 21st April 1926, was anointed Queen of England on 6th Feb 1952 ended on 8th Sept 2022, uninterrupted and unquestioned for all the 70 years. Born Princess Elizabeth of York, in Mayfair, a suburb of London she was coroneted on 2nd June 1953, born to King George the VI and Queen Elizabeth. Indians by and large need not be interested in knowing more of the queen, either as a monarch or as a person of English origin. Our interest is only with reference to India in general and Jalianwala Baag in particular. 13th April 1919 was some 7 years before Queen Elizabeth was even born. It was on that day a crowd of non-violent protestors along with Baisakhi pilgrims had gathered in Jalianwal

EMPOWERING HUMAN POTENTIAL AS A CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY: THE KP RAMASWAMY SAGA Speaking on “A PHILOSOPHY WITHOUT FACE”, as eminent management expert of Yesteryears, Mr. Shanu Rangnakar had observed “Two grabbing hands are all that the private enterprise could present before the people. There is a crisis of image in this sector”. This was in early 1975, that is close to half a century ago. How has this image undergone transformation during this past, close to fifty years? It’s a question with profoundly mixed answers in this era of World Trade Organization and consequent globalization. “People must come to accept private enterprise not as a necessary evil but as an affirmative good” was a dictum attributed to late Eugene Robert Black, the third president of the World Bank. He was president during 1949 to 1962, probably the longest served president of World Bank. They were truly the transformative years of World Bank also known as International Bank of Reconstruction and Development. The a
