The President of India DR. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam 's Speech in Hyderabad .. * Why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why? We are the first in milk production. We are number one in Remote sensing satellites. We are the second largest producer of wheat. We are the second largest producer of rice. Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters. I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news. In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T. Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India . For her, you and I will have to build this developed India . You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation. Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance. Got 10 minutes for your country?
If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours. YOU say that our government is inefficient. YOU say that our laws are too old. YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage. YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke, The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination. YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits. YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - YOURS. Give him a face - YOURS. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity... In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai . YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah . YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds ( Rs.650) a month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.'YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, 'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.' YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand . Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ? Why don't YOU use examination jockeys ??? We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own.
You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India ? Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay , Mr. Tinaikar , had a point to make. 'Rich people's dogs are walked on the streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said. 'And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels? In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan . Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility. We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms. We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity. This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public. When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system? What does a system consist of ?
Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away. Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England . When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.

I thought this blog should be given a decent closure sorts here...rather than leaving it abruptly, as a disgrace...
We failed in our mission this time= cud not get the best man for the job...
but this initiative has certainly been a learning experience for all those who have been involved in it..even remotely....
at least it initiated many of us into thinking...
we were perhaps not as well equipped this time, n maybe we had to face more cynicism n hurdles coz of the fact that we were just two undergrad girls working "on our own"..
But Of course, lessons have been learnt... precious ones at that!!
n the next time-- wenever tht shud be... Ignited Indian Minds will be here again... hopefully
better equipped, and better placed to achieve OUR goal-- (PS. note, the office of the president is not the IIMs' only concern...)...
I am not sure Ashish, if those tactics for drawing media attention tht certain ppl-been there, done it alls- suggested were the only way out(self immolation attemps, water canons n what not)- wud be the method employed even then...
We will do it our way... n someday, hopefully we will make ourselves heard---well next time, we are going to be louder for sure...
and congratulations ALL of u (no "thank u", of course, u no why..... )
we all tried... and you guyz were all really a source of strength!!!
u= all the other IIMs ...
Will put up this silly thing I came up with the other day...swayed by emotions... *Kanchan , u were pretty callous abt it , but nevermind..*
"IIMs will never die,
next time, if not this year..
on that note, I raise a toast,
here, have some butterbeer :) "

If Mr.ABC were to be The First Citizen of India
The presidential elections are roughly a month away..come 18th july n LO! We’ll have our next PRESIDENT smirking at us from the sidelines,rubbing his/her hands in glee..eagerly waiting in anticipation for the election results,,which of course will be a mutually agreed upon one..(by THEM)..after all..they WILLNOT let the “aam admi’s” money go waste..which they are so lovingly n tenderly wasting(oh!no!spending judiciously..??!!)on hosting lavish tea parties ,luncheons,dinners and what not ..for..~bow ur heads humbly~ madamji……,,~salute~mayaji and the other etcetera etceteras………..
Now,since we are going to be presented with a brand new president….very soon..I’ve been a bit of a bad girl~shruti!pardon me for using the g-word..~ and done a peekabo into the future..~~holds ears but refuses stoutly to do any sit-ups~~
So! I present before u a few teeny-weeny glimpses/snapshots of what these prospective candidates will be like as Mr.First Citizen of India.
NOTE:Though not in a very optimistic frame of mind at present..I am strictly focusing on the “brighter side” of each candidate’s PRESIDENCY(??!!)
MR.AMITABH BACHCHAN:
(Though in all probabilities out of the presidential race…..BUT u never know…!!)
I started with him coz well…..(No! m not going in an alphabetical order!)…….he’s from BOLLYWOOD u see..a lil bit of song,dance n drama is always the right way to start any …err….SHOW…
Yes…so if Mr.BigB were to be president,,ah! Need I talk about the “brighter” side…..?!it’s going to be be bright bright bright all the way…….sample this:
Mr.B’s oath taking ceremony:
v A star-studded function where all the big-wigs (and the small wigs too) from the industry will put up their rocking performances..*THE BEST* will of course be “kajra re”….and Mr.President will himself grace the dance floor(yessum!! There will be one……..what were u thinking??!!)…by shaking a leg(or two..)
v Oooooh! Never has any president ever taken the oath in that “to-die-for-baritone”…...quips Ms.bollywood buff_seen bigb’s every movie 16 times…..
Next morning’s newspapers will have full page pictures of Aishwarya Rai..preening away to high glory..(But she is not the president??!!OH! c’mon……..she’s the President’s “bahu”..!!)
Mr.BigB’s first republic day as president:
v Mr.B n his BROTHER and BOSOM-BUDDY Amar SinghJI(sorry sir…for ignoring u …till now..but I like to save the best for the last u see..)will SHARE the salute.They will hoist the flag…TOGETHER-TOGETHER~click~
v Bollywood sond n dance numbers*of course*
v The president’s address to the nation will begin with excerpts from MADHUSHAALA(oh! The to-die-for-baritone…!!)….followed by a vote of thanks to Amar SinghJI and then…….ah! the rest of the mundane stuff about country,,,people etc etc….
~~dear reader(if any …heh heh … apart from shruti,arpita,bhanu,meet and abhishek….)don’t cry FOUL please……I am not being “mean” to chota B…..he is concentrating on his career right now,,,,,,BUT after say 10 yrs he’ll TAKE OVER as President …. He’ll definitely carry foprward the bachchan legacy…~~
(much as I wanted to focus on the “brighter side”…….i cant resist the temptation of giving u this piece of bad news……srk will NOT be invited for the oath taking ceremony…~haw!!HAW!!~….but take heart….he can purchase a pass on his own n attend the republic day parade…..)
MR.SOMNATH CHATTERJEE AND MR.PRANAB MUKHERJEE:
v The Rashtrapati Bhavan will be “cleansed’ of all IMPORTE(eeeeeeeks!!)D filth..(like furniture,fittings,food items etc etc…I mean everything phorrrrrrrrrrren….)
v Wall-Mart will NOT be allowed to carry out their “nefarious activities” in our country.
v All-an-all…..we will revert back to and cherish the spirit of Swadeshi……and “touch-not,see-not,feel-not,talk-not,consume-not”anything phoren.
**hail the spirit of swadeshi**
MR.MOTILAL VORA(ah! The blessed one...):
v First and foremost we actually get to know “who” Mr.Vora is…….
v For any issue or decision of national importance…..Mr.President will solve all problems in a jiffy wid a lil bit of hocus pocus n voodoo-ing……
v The Rashtrapati Bhavan might be renamed Puttaparthi Bhavan..~oh! C’mon….at least Puttaparthi(sort-of) rhymes wid Rashtrapati~~
v AND!! The icing on the cake…..PAAN-FARMING ON THE RASHTRAPATI BHAVAN…….howzzat??!!
MR.SUSHIL KUMAR SHINDE(the self-proclaimed “saada” man…..):

Had a flashback….decided to archive it lest it gets lost in the plethora of anecdotes we have to share.Though of course..on the face of it they seem amusing~already in stitches shruti….?.ah!u must’ve guessed what am going to talk about from the title itself~…..”they”….refers to these “anecdotes”..yet…if we think of the orgy of DOUBLE-FACEism we as a nation are suffering from..they are enough to wipe off those thoughtless grins off our faces(or double faces,shall I say?).Oh!The anecdote……hmmmm….here it is..In one of Baba Ramdev’s camps~~see mamma!!Baba’s on my blog!!God bless u for calling me/forcing me that day to watch that particular telecast of his camp~~ somewhere in Maharashtra…”honourable” Mr.Ex-C.M. Sushil Kumar Shinde had been invited as the guest of honour.Swami Ramdev spoke first..on sarvadharmasamabhava..n of course whatever he spoke…was from his heart and made sense too.But then!He invited Mr.Shinde on the dias…..Oooooh!I must say this..though it is a bit of an understatement,,still,,I’ll try__that was the most heart-rending,thought-provoking,tear-inducing and moving homily I ever heard on sarvadharmasamabhav….It began with how Swamiji has been propagating sarvadharmasamabhava(which is true)……then lo!!

We lily white politicians always do that…..glibtalk and blufftalk our way to high glory….right??)n then….!!

BANAYA!!…and it went on and on and on….DALIT DALIT DALIT……ME A DALIT..ME ADALIT..ME A DALIT..I mean! Can u digest that??He begins with..sarvadharmasambhav…very cutely n conveniently forgets that….n jumps to jaativada……n talks about how we should not discriminate against any jaati and that they is no such thing as jaati…… and all jaatis are equal…….and after having said all THAT….he harps on the love n support given to “ISS DALIT”(……this dalit that means my dear inglissssss babus n angrezzzzzzi mems……)…..or if I remember right…..”isss bechare dalit”…..~~stop flaring ur nostrils shruti … n bhanu…u can stop shaking ur head now……the story’s over…..feel bad about subjecting u both to this torture the second time over…~~How dastardly!!(Mis)using a yoga-camp and a divine concept like sarvadharmasamabhav….for …we all know what…Err…why this entire discourse…on Sushil Kumar Shinde??(He is one of the candidates being put forward by Congress to be the next President-for those who came in late.Though there has not been much news of his candidature lately)Well…..i had to answer ur question(about why I was “AFTER” s.k. shinde)..Mr.Mittal no.1……..………..signing off……….”SHINDE”ed for today……Kanchan

Well…….he’ll manage THEM “somehow”… PRESIDENTIAL DUTIES I mean *what else…!!*……….moreover…..someone (now this isnot some ill-informed hapless land-tiller in some wayward n remote area …this is an “educated” someone..who is vieing for that coveted MBA tag…..n calls himself a very-well-informed-can-never-go-wrong-with-“facts”-person.)actually tried telling me that the present president…Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam(pulllleeeeeeeezzzz not “abdul kalam azad” for god’s sake) does nothing other than visiting schools n presenting roses to school kids..(!!)….now if that is true….surely….Mr.V.P.Singh is “capable” of handling (n not bungling)that lil bit of rose giving n visting……m sure…..*tho…ahem ahem….will the school kids..?...well…that’s a different issue altogether..!!... ;)*
MR.VEERAPPA MOILY(mm…..the crème d’la crème)
v Err…the brighter side had I said…??Err….well……guess our mums will never have to crib about the milk not being “creamy” enough……~sigh~
MR.SHIVRAJ PATIL:
Noooooooooooooooo!! Who said that he has been “not-too-successful” as a Home Minister………
Atleast he dresses better than so many of these “potential” candidates.
MRS.PRATIBHA PATIL:
v Hmmm….. a woman candidate….so what if she’s politically affiliated,,,,n that they are considering her as a rebound option…..
v OOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh!! I found this on wikipedia……..”Champion in Table Tennis during college days and won shields in Inter-college”(yes PRATIBHA PATIL……)
she’ll be a sport of a president I tell u….a real sport…will pander to all THEIR whims n fancies…….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~curtains fall~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SEE!! The “brighter side” …..isnt it bright??
I wonder what the not-so-bright-side will be like…….
Any guesses ……anyone??
……..signing off……
KANCHAN ……an ignited Indian mind all set ablaze……
Now,since we are going to be presented with a brand new president….very soon..I’ve been a bit of a bad girl~shruti!pardon me for using the g-word..~ and done a peekabo into the future..~~holds ears but refuses stoutly to do any sit-ups~~
So! I present before u a few teeny-weeny glimpses/snapshots of what these prospective candidates will be like as Mr.First Citizen of India.
NOTE:Though not in a very optimistic frame of mind at present..I am strictly focusing on the “brighter side” of each candidate’s PRESIDENCY(??!!)
MR.AMITABH BACHCHAN:
(Though in all probabilities out of the presidential race…..BUT u never know…!!)
I started with him coz well…..(No! m not going in an alphabetical order!)…….he’s from BOLLYWOOD u see..a lil bit of song,dance n drama is always the right way to start any …err….SHOW…
Yes…so if Mr.BigB were to be president,,ah! Need I talk about the “brighter” side…..?!it’s going to be be bright bright bright all the way…….sample this:
Mr.B’s oath taking ceremony:
v A star-studded function where all the big-wigs (and the small wigs too) from the industry will put up their rocking performances..*THE BEST* will of course be “kajra re”….and Mr.President will himself grace the dance floor(yessum!! There will be one……..what were u thinking??!!)…by shaking a leg(or two..)
v Oooooh! Never has any president ever taken the oath in that “to-die-for-baritone”…...quips Ms.bollywood buff_seen bigb’s every movie 16 times…..
Next morning’s newspapers will have full page pictures of Aishwarya Rai..preening away to high glory..(But she is not the president??!!OH! c’mon……..she’s the President’s “bahu”..!!)

---continued form the post below---
LETTER TO SONIA GANDHI/MANMOHAN SINGH
This is in reference to the upcoming Presidential elections. If we must at all have a President in a Parliamentary Democracy, WE, the People Of India demand that we have a President who is worth the huge amount of money that is spent from OUR pockets, on maintaining this office. President Kalam has set the bar high for whoever comes in next- a certain sanctity has been RESTORED to the Position and it pains us to see that people who are being considered to REPLACE him do not match his credentials and qualifications, personal as well as professional (In fact, that would be a gross understatement of facts).
Apart from the personal qualifications and qualities of the candidates proposed by the Congress Party, and even the other political parties, there seems to be an all party consensus (and shockingly, a not very tacit one at that) that the President must have some political affiliation or the other – which amounts to the sacrilege of the spirit/significance of the President’s position, an otherwise titular position; The only possible reason for having a President in India is to have him act as a CHECK on the (mis)doings of those at the helm of the affairs of the country, which he can do only by using his discretion in an UNBIASED manner in consultation with the interpreters of the Constitution of India.
An obvious fact is that any candidate with party leanings would be more biased than One with no such affiliations- clearly, while this is a glaring contradiction in the nomination process, for the People of India, this very contradiction suits the convenience and serves the interests of those who stand to lose a free reign if an UNBIASED, THINKING individual becomes the First Citizen of India.
I, a Citizen of India furnish the resources to maintain the First Citizen of India, And therefore reserve every right to have a say in deciding WHO that person would be.I shall not accept any Tom, Dick or Harry who does not fulfil the necessary qualifications mentioned above as the President of India. I want Dr. APJ Kalam to go in for a second term or someone at least his equal in stature –the bar has been set high and can ONLY be RAISED and not LOWERED at any cost.There is barely a month to go, and precious time has been lost already in making a mockery of the Constitution of India-the time has come to make amends, beginning from NOW. Sir/ madam, surely with the best interests of the country and of the Party at heart, you shall not ignore my voice, THE VOICE of India, which is only going to grow louder.
Thanking you in anticipation
