When politicians speak you know it’s always TARAF!

This blog was supposed to be about why I support BJP and chart out some of the biggest screw ups by the Congress. Congress has always called BJP non secular and many other things along with that. But BJP has accepted that they are communal. Unlike BJP, Congress has been a pseudo secular party. How? To start with congress has divided the nation into men and women. The fact that the citizens are referred to as ‘person’ so that there isn’t any gender bias was lost on Congress. In 1986 when Congress was in power, Shah Bano was divorced by her husband. She approached the court to claim maintenance; she was 65 when she was divorced. As per section 125 of Cr.P.C, it is the duty of the husband to maintain his divorced wife. The Muslim community protested about the court interfering in personal laws and Congress found this as a means to bank on Muslim voters. It enacted the The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 which stated that a woman shall be maintained for the iddat period(which is for a period of 3 months) and then she no more is her husband’s liability. This Act was passed as back then Congress was in majority. Congress has further divided people into OBC and SC/ST. Mandal Case I & II are staring right at us, because of which sub clause (4) was inserted under Articles 15 and 16 of the Indian Constitution. A similar episode of further increasing quotas happened in 2007 -08. Which was the ruling party? CONGRESS. If our nation is slipping and sliding down on its way up it’s because of Congress.
But after the last 24 hours it’s not about which political party is better or which is the best of the worst. What’s happening in Mumbai is right in front of us and to think that even in such crisis politicians can only think about furthering their political ambitions by giving speeches “condemning terror”, you begin to wonder if you really want anyone at all to take the political throne. For once can’t they just act upon their words instead of just saying them?

Oh our politicians are numero Uno's when it comes to big talk and no actions! What you've just pointed out as an example in the case of the Mumbai blasts is just a teeny weeny tip of the iceberg. Wish those thickheads would understand for the betterment of India! Jai hind! :)

The Oceanic Velvet Cake with a Mother of Pearl Frosting©

Image
My favourite cake is the Red Velvet cake. I like the colour, the texture, the salty-sweet-cream cheese frosting and that mild zing of flavours which alternate between cocoa, vanilla and citrusy. I am not a food blogger. I just have started blogging about food because the pandemic has invariably brought out the chef in me and I have started experimenting on a scale I would not otherwise have. I am usually satisfied with a small cake. It takes less time and less effort… that’s what I thought. Until I decided to make a layered cake. Same time and same amount of effort. After I was done, I realised that baking actually isn’t rocket science. It does take some patience, understanding of how ingredients combine and a bit of artistry to make it pretty. I compensate for my lack of artistry with imagination and creativity. I had set out to bake me a Red Velvet cake. The moment I realised that my birthday will also be during the lockdown I knew I’d have to go about fixing this wi

Google Pixel XL - Review

Image
I had been meaning to change my phone for over a year and it was then that this phone had caught my eye – The Google Pixel XL. I had read so much about it. Found that a lot of people that I am surrounded by had no intentions of getting it. Here is the thing, my sole reason for investing in a gadget has to do with the following: ·         Its price should be within a certain range i.e it should not burn a hole in my wallet. ·         It should at least be guaranteed that the product will be receiving software support for a minimum of 3 years. ·         It should have excellent user interface to make life easy and be a tool for communication as well as relaxation. ·         It should have a good camera. ·         Its accessories must be easily available in the market. It’s with the help of this list that I short listed my “This the phone I’d like to own” list ·         Google Pixel XL (128GB) – INR 56,229 ·         One Plus 5T (128 GB) – INR 37,795 ·         Moto Z2 Play (64GB)   - INR 2

Desitude

The feeling is fleeting and yet for the mere seconds that the thought lasts you realize that you are watching the evolution of a generation that claims to be less corrupt and one that is equipped to take on the world. At the same time you notice that this so called generation has a thick pseudo american accent, ideas are plenty but do they apply to us [Indians] and whether this flash of insight was just a piece read in the news paper? Seriously after having moved to Bangalore I have started noticing things that weren’t so evident in Mysore . Things like a person’s attitude towards people – In case you are dressed up like a westerner you evidently have brains. [because you need to have brains to have a very well coordinated psychedelic wardrobe.] Any one clad in salwar kameez or anything remotely Indian is “ Oh! so still living in the dark ages!” . Anyone who speaks English is smart. Anyone who speaks Hindi is a gawar. Anyone who paints her nails black, bottle
