Tracks !

Had a glance at the railway interim budget(2009-10) ! Ya..its substantial ! Laloo,the darling of Indian media,has always enjoyed media headlines in the last few years.The decision to glue to the basics witnessed Laloo delivering management lectures at Howard Business School in London,followed by IIM Ahmedabad and many others in the league.During the UPA reign Laaloo never forgot to pat him for having registered the never before profit for rail ministry.I would say..he is true indeed!If we see last five rail budgets,Laloo's unique selling proposition has remained 'Say no to rail fair hike' !No wonder,railway ministry was the first to implement the recommendations of Central Sixth Pay Commission for its employees!Railway stands unparallel in terms of number of the employment it provides.
Also, to mention !the Indian Railway-*tracks have added new feather in nation's pride after getting recognition for its 4th railway site,Kalka Shimla Mountain Railway as "World Heritage Site"! Hmm.. Laloo prasad Yadav! the surname being mine..I can guess people relating me to him ??:):)haha ..Well ma family has much been into politics.If I move 8-10 yrs back... OK !!lemme frame this out!  
Parties and get-togethers organised for mantrijis n netajis with their fellows,ambassadors,red blue lights,body guards n chelas... all purposes of meetings and discussions! Linked and cross - linked ..chained political - social networks and affairs . The grand courtyard ..men sitting on the marble,under the huge neem ..talking of all stuffs ..ye party aisi,wo neita waisa,iski bahumat,uska vote, kaun sa candidate ..kitne vote..parche mohar ,,prachar-paisa ,public-janta ...shamiyana,mikes,stages..............people strateging their ideas ,plotting methods ,analysing rivalries etc etc..And Me , as a kid ..everytime I pass around the track*...I'm intoduced to ....."Inse mamaste karo beta !"rolled over like football in laps of people who finger-print on your cheek just to check its elasticity !"Eee..hatto ! nai !" ..I used to run away ! Mahindras,bikes,ambassadors ,gallons of tea-water ..nashta -snack all in -out !!In the scene..dozens of surrounding people! ...Ma, like a genuine north Indian bahu,late night cooking bundles of kachaudis n all for them all..who even kept on delaying wih their never-concluded affairs moving along! Me..like a naughty,stubborn-spoilt child roaming through the cross-sections of the home..everytime annoying ma with my stupid " Hi ma!! hallo ma!!",,even more like "Motu Uncle likes it...its his favourite !' and on the other side as well,"Baba ! who's your best friend among them all?"...so on and on !! And now..even afta so many years,though certified as a citizen,yet Iv never voted ! And even if ..... I may wonder "who to vote?"What if I flag along with my family's track???...and for a choice..Priyanka Gandhi ,my role model?:):) hehe!!Well ,for her I'd say ..she's really campaigning aggressively advocating Rahul Gandhi's genuiness and the building up of a young nation! However it is to be wondered if the Gaandhians can stretch their influence outside Amethi n Raibereily as well!Also ,in this scenario,bollywood stars sharing their cake in the elections .Now while Sanjay Dutt is forbidden to stand from LKO,lets see what Nafisa Ali has! I hope Hema-Malini,this time doesnt start her basanti* stuff during any manifestation .I wonder what people do ! ask votes for just anything n everything!I like Salmaan Khan's attitude here..who's been campaigning for all parties,it be NCP,BJP or Congress ! all at the same time !!kuch bhi kaho ! banda hai bhot mast ..n he's still so young !! :):) .he he ..all this I say in context with the pre-mentioned concept of the young - nation ..My special(late:))accolades to the Indian hockey team for the Azlan Shah cup,winning handsomely (3-1) against Malaysia in front of Malaysian crowd ..after a track* of 14 yrs ... rough patch n controversies behind the success! hmm good work boyz !!keep winning !  
Jai Ho !!
watch the jai-ho video track * @ Nicol ..
till then,  
baila-baila!!
I mean bye-bye:) astha
