My Kashmir Holiday

I am proud of our government for taking some decisive steps about Jammu and Kashmir and moving beyond the usual ‘discussions’ and ‘mediations’. Hopefully, the government is able to solve the hitherto ‘unsolvable’ problem.

Everybody is talking about the winners and losers of the just concluded general elections. However, nobody is talking about NOTA that got a significant vote share. Interestingly, not many people know that NOTA does not have any bearing on the vote counting. It is merely a feedback mechanism to register a voter’s disappointment.

My ‘Middle-Class’ Vote

General elections are round the corner. It’s that time of governance-cycle where suddenly the all-important (politician) becomes the common man and the common man becomes all-important. Basking in the glory of this transient attention that voters are getting, I thought of coming up with my own wish list of the top five things that I would want the next government to promise and hopefully deliver.

Lalit Modi, Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi, Christian Michel, Sanjeev Kumar Chawla, and the list goes on... What do these people have in common apart from crores of rupees in their bank accounts that don’t rightfully belong to them? They all have escaped the country and are making a mockery of the numerous summons made to them.
