I am trying to put away my lethargy when some great news appear on channels and newspapers that inspires me. One such news is from none other than the 'prince' Rahul Gandhi. In an interaction with the students of Pondicherry University, he very boldly and categorically stated '' there is no democratic political party in India and people without a friend or relative in politics do not stand a chance of entering the political system''. He has highlighted the rot that is creeping into the political body that will soon engulf the political system of our country. Either the dad or mom find it convenient to give a lift for their ward or the son or daughter seeking a place in the vast political arena, finds it easier to jump into the bandwagon by piggyriding on mom or dad. This clearly shows the political bankruptcy the country is facing which makes it a fertile land for extremist idiologies. This is a terrible situation and it is only natural that Rahul mentioned it during his talks with the students.
While giving due credit to Rahul for his very bold observation, in retrospection, one would wonder how Rahul Gandhi propelled himself into the politcal scene. Having said that, one can only hope that Rahul may become instrumental to select and groom good, efficient, knowledgeable and well qualified people to lead this vast country.

We can go through the other news only with dejection and dismay. Mumbai is the commercial capital of India where millions of people earn their livelihood. To claim that Mumbai belongs only to Marathis is prepostrous. It is parochial chauvanism. No place in the whole country belongs to any single community or region. We're Indians and we can live whereever we want. No one can question us. Mumbaites themselves should see such unwanted claims are disowned and the perpetrators of such crimes are isolated.
