Manmohan Singh not a weak prime minister

Advani has always treated the PM in a manner not expected of a leader of a political party that boasts at being different. PM has in the past also commented on being called a weak PM, “that whether or not he is weak will be judged by history”. And he made history on 22nd July by taking India ahead on nuclear path not by exploding a bomb but using it for peaceful purpose of generating Electricity for the country. He also proved to the country that he is not a weak PM by taking on Advani and exposing the Pseudo-intellectualism of Advani and BJP.

Even the BJP is aware of the importance of the nuclear agreement and its benefits to the nation. Their allies like the Shiv Sena and the Akalis have openly said that the agreement is good for the country, but BJP under Advani has tried to stall the passage of the bill so as not to give the credit to Manmohan Singh who has staked his every thing for the progress it can bring to the country. Advani to belittle the PM is even willing to stop the agreement which is expected to bring progress to the nation.

Advani turned a blind eye to the riots in Gujarat under Modi, is that not weakness. Advani goes to Pakistan, praises Jinnah and back tracks after returning to India because his party and RSS do not support him, is that not weakness. Not allowing to pass the agreement in parliament so that they can do it when they come to power, is that not weakness. Leading all the people to Babri Masjid, destroying it, and then calling it a sad day in his life, is that not weakness.

It is not Manmohan Singh who is weak, but Advani who is weak of character and the earlier the country does not accept people like him to lead the country the better this country would be

If BJP, Akalis and Shiv Sena who all do belive that the deal is beneficial for the country would have voted for the same along with the congress only on this issue, there would have been no need for any horse trading which was a sad part of the entire process. If only our politicians put the nations interest above their personal ambition (read Advani’s ambition to become PM even at the cost of country’s interest) India could go miles ahead. But what to do we have a weak leader of opposition in the parliament, who does not even care.

I never voted for the congress but the BJP. Only in the last elections I voted against BJP for what it did in Gujarat. I do not whom to vote for now, probably Manmohan Singh if he is made PM again by teh congress

Giving the finger to a scripted life!

Twitter and the world of hate - Delhi Gang Rape

Common wisdom says that venting out reduces frustration. Twitter, Facebook, and blogs help us achieve the same. While what normally starts as a "venting out" experience, I suspect is turning out to be an anguish enhancer. When I look at trending topics on twitter all what I see is a world of "Hate". Small pieces of hate messages turn out to be a big collective bunch of hate. Take the case of Delhi gang rape and some ill-minded comments of politicians and spiritual gurus. What started as scattered bickering remarks against a comment made by "Asaram" has now become a full fledged ball of rage. This rage was "non-directional", had no agenda and was oriented towards sarcasm and wit. While Delhi gang rape highlights poor governance, societal problems and problems of law and order, venting out on a forum that accumulates the frustration by many such people only adds to the low well-being. It is time we use some discretion and post messages that...

Twitter vs. News - Effectiveness in building relations

Social Media has been termed as an effective way to build relationships. Brands are trying to harness this capability by building social presence on this new media. Celebrities today account for the maximum amount of followers on the web with twitter being a fine example for this. But is this new media effective in creating relationships with this vast list of followers, which celebrities often tend to have? In an interesting research by Lee and Jang , they explore the effectiveness of celebrities in building social presence on new media. They compare twitter and a news website to check the relative effectiveness of enhancing social presence. While the traditional PR machinery used by celebrities might give them news coverage, they contend that their tweets can reduce the barrier of relational development as compared to a news website. Their findings are counter-intuitive and very interesting.
