Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Thank  You  !  Thank  You  !  Thank  You  !

Thank you ,

>     SUSHIL KUMAR SHINDE ,

     -   for ordering a probe into foreign funding of AAP

     because ,

    _   now you have made it possible to expose the funding of other political
     parties , hopefully leading to amendments of Foreign Contribution Act  /
     Representation of the People Act  /  Model Code of Conduct .. etc

>     ANNA HAZARE ,

     -   for deciding not to join AAP

    because ,

    -    if you had , you would have paralyzed the working of AAP , by
     insisting that corruption be eliminated thru a " Change of Hearts " only !

>     BABA RAMDEV ,

      -    for declaring that AAP has hijacked the Jan Lokpal Andolan of Anna

      because ,

       -    to prove you right , AAP will now pass Jan Lokpal Bill on 29 Dec

>     SHEILA DIKSHIT ,

        -    for releasing Congress Election Manifesto on the same day as the
      release of AAP manifesto

      because ,

       -   that gave Delhi-ites, an opportunity to compare , " Apple for Apple ",
       which party will solve their " Top Priority " problems


>     ANURANJAN JHA ,

      -    for conducting a sting operation on 9 AAP leaders , then " Editing "
     ( not " Doctoring " ? ) the video tape and refusing to give a copy to AAP
     (  encouraging , a " Trial by Media " ?  )

     because ,

     -      you would have to expose  your " Sponsors " when Election
     Commission calls you for interrogation

>     DR. HARSHVARDHAN ,

     -     for proclaiming that AAP is nothing more than a " B Team " of
     Congress and may win 1 or 2 seats at the most

     because ,

     -     if for nothing else than to prove you wrong , Delhi-ites will vote to
     power AAP on 4th Dec  ( with 50 + seats ? )

What a fantastic coordination amongst you !

What a perfect orchestration  !

What a gift to AAP  !

Thank You , all  !

Whose   Bapu   ?

There was a time
When you were our Bapu,
A Mahatma ;

For a life-time long
A tortured Atma ;

To wash away the sins of your children
You died a martyr's death ;

Now those very children
Have opened-up a shop
To sell " Gandhi-ism " ;

They are even maintaining
Two separate books of accounts,
One for income from " Unknown Sources ",
Strictly as required by the law !

Even out of curiosity
Do not venture
Anywhere near ;

No one will recognize you
Without your NSG / Z+ bodyguards  !

And children from city slums
Will chase you , shouting ,
" Ben Kingsley , Ben Kingsley ",

And when they ask you for your autograph ,
Do not sign,
" Mo Ka Gandhi "  !

Just pretend that you are Ben Kingsley,
TV cameras , Reporters , Anchors
Will  follow in your footsteps ;

Just forget that
You were our Bapu  !

Please visit and look-up.....www.hemenparekh.in ........ > Blogs

I reproduce below , my today's blog , which , I have already posted on 100 + web sites

Thank   You  ,   Mr   Shinde   !

Thank you for ordering a probe into the source of funds received by Aam Aadmi Party  (  AAP  )

Arvind Kejriwal must be thinking ,

"   What a stroke of luck !

    The support of Delhi citizens which we could not garner thru our 3 months
    of campaigning , Mr Shinde has managed for us within minutes , by
    ordering this probe  "

Before the probe , AAP was expecting to win somewhere around 40+ seats in Delhi Assembly Elections

Now , thru his usual bungling , exposing his " Himalayan Hypocricy " , Mr Shinde has assured that AAP ends up with 50+ seats  !

Why ?  What makes me think so  ?

>    At the end of the probe , AAP will come out clean

>    If , AAP managed to recieve Rs 9 Crores in Oct , it may recieve Rs 19
      crores in Nov  !

>    Mr Shinde won't have the courage to order similar probes into the  
      sources of funding of Congress  /  BJP  /  NCP  /  BSP  /  SP  /  CPI etc,
      who have , between them , collected approx Rs 4,900 Crores between
      2004-2011 , of which , 75 % donations are from,
                                    "    Sources  Unknown  "
       (  -  read , own black money re-routed  thru hawaala route  !  )

>    Over the next few weeks , our alert media ( God bless the TV anchors )
      will continue to demand that the political parties offer themselves for
      coverage by RTI Act , as held by CIC , ordered by Supreme Court and
      confirmed by the Attorney General

>    725 million voters , who are fed-up of the corruption and hypocricy of
      Congress , will vote to power ( in 2014 ) , BJP , which , they look upon
      as , "  lesser of the evils  " (  between deep sea and devil  ?  )

>    Upon coming to power , NDA will be forced to amend the Foreign Contri-
      bution Regulations  /  Electoral Reforms Bill / Representation of Peoples
      Act  /  Jan Lokpal Bill etc

Never since our independence , the Nation has owed so much "  thanks  " ,
to one person for his single act of " political suicide "  !

Thank You , once again , Mr Shinde  !

Dear Mr.Parekh,

Thanks for your mail. We value your time. At the outset we are extremely sorry for delaying our response.
We are (for the 1st time in the Country) are going to have our manifesto on local issues & every constituency will have its own manifesto *& for Delhi - there will be one as a whole. Every issue, big or small need to be addressed. Emails like yours will help us change the system.
Please wait for our manifesto to be announced, we will have complete transparency in all the systems & there will be simple one liner " either perform or leave" - the employees are being paid from the tax payers money, this need to understand the by employees & we will have citizen charter in place.

Selling   Dreams   ?

Yesterday , on ABP TV , Arvind Kejriwal ( Aam Aadmi Party ) promised to Delhiwallas , unbelievable improvements in ,

>   Healthcare

>   Education

>   Electricity Supply & Prices

>   Safe drinking water ,       etc

Apart from a Jan LokPal

Provided , Delhiwallas vote AAP to an absolute majority ( he expects 48 seats ) , on 4th Dec

At the moment , it appears that he has succeeded in selling a dream  !

That is one kind of ability that most politicians do possess

But most of them woefully lack the second kind of ability , viz:

>   Management of expectations raised , thru delivering on promises made

It does not take a genius , much hard work or a lot of money , if your promise is :

>   35 Kg of free rice per month to each poor family

I hope 71 constituency-wise manifestos that AAP promises to publish by this week-end , do not contain such " Insults " to people suffering for so long  !

Delivering on promises made by AAP , will require :

>     A time bound ACTION PLAN ( Roadmap ) with quantitative Achievement
      Targets ( Milestones )

>     A " Resource Mobilization Plan " which clearly spells out ,

       *   How much money will be required for each initiative ( budgetary
         allocations )

       *    How ( from where ) this money will be raised ?

           Raising taxes is bad !  Borrowing is worse  ! Begging Central Govt is
           worst  ! Can you save from " leakages " ?

>      Transparent procedures , open to public scrutiny

>      A honest / corruption-free / committed bureaucracy to implement

>      Non - interference by elected MLAs

>      How will public be involved ?

>      Which third party will measure the " Actual vs Targetted " performance
        and publish the audited results, and  how often ?

Surely ,drawing up and monitoring such a Project Plan , cannot be a Rocket Science for  IIT /  IIM whizkid volunteers of AAP , when their classmates at ISRO are launching Mars Orbiter Mission ( MOM ) today  !

If AAP manages to display this second kind of post-election " Performance Ability " , then it will truly herald  an " Indian Spring " and re-write the rules of how elections will get fought in State / National elections

Good Luck , Arvind !
