PMO India@
MANN KI BAAT
Mitro, Bhai Aur Behno , the news of Modi government towards SWACCH INDIA has made the government to imopose Swacch Bharat Cess . Kya Ukhad Liya Modi JI SWACCHTA ka tax hum par laagu karke ? Journeys speak stories- Stories on SOUL OF INDIA [ Dia Mirza’s story of her journey to GANGA ] , Pickle Nation , Highway on my plate shows- That narrate stories on culture , pickle and food.
Come on, Mr .Modi is there any story on SULABH SHOUCHALYA for women ?
My journey to Coorg this time struck me with stark reality that the stretch of Bangalore to Coorg 200 kms did not even have one supporting SWACCH BHARAT SHOUCHALYA !
Why cess then everything is a mess ?
As a woman on journey, felt a total handicap when I did not find a single Toilet which told and retold a Prem Katha – why Swacch Bharat Cess is a must.
Where do we go ? Behind the bush, in a stinky place called Sarvajanik Shouchalya which every local Bus Stand speaks of-
Are we dogs who need to mark our territory ?
Sadly enough and Thanks enough Café Coffee Days adorn the stretch of our So Called National Highways .
Enter a Coffee Day with a Customer who’s King Like Smile, ask the person in the Counter – Washroom ?
He who knows the state and status of Sulabh Shouchalya and Swacch Bharat Cess and a woman’s plight , just shows us the corner board which says in Bold – “WASHROOM”.
Now, you see we are nowhere the Customer is the King bearing slogan flagbearers, who after using washroom skirt away.
Ab Washroom use, kiya hai tho, we need to have a Coffee a Spinach Cheese Corn Sandwich- burning our pockets as we have Used their Corporate Coffee Washrooms, instead of Sulabh Shouchalyas.
Why a Swacch Cess, when you are not able to understand the plight of women ?
Why give a Rose or a Smile or even film an ad when you yourself you fail to understand that Mootra Visarjan in a Swacch Jagah contributes to Health and promises in action a Voluntary Swacch Bharat Cess.

 Twittered Twitters


A backdrop before I share this Twitter between my daughter and her Appa.


Every week has blues. I would say, Monday's Blues followed by Tuesday's Sunshine, and Wednesday's Update and Friday's trail of events.


My little darling, Srujana, is a great fan of Shahrukh Khan. A few hours perhaps the excitement was seen in both father and daughter. Friday coming - No office, no traffic jam for two days..no waking early, no hustle bustle, and a peaceful sleep.


As I was combing Srujana's hair, Ganesh asked Srujana, "Srujana, do you want to meet Salman Khan? "How can I meet Shahrukh Khan if I see Salman Khan ? The reasoning was simple and straight, if I have to see Shahrukh Khan then I have to see him and not others.


It was then Ganesh immediately retorted saying, "Srujana, by Salman Khan I meant our Pureit executive Salman Khan".


Srujana still not taken aback was silent.


Ganesh who was still carrying the same air of frivolousness, continued his remark - "Srujana I still know Shahrukh Khan, do you want to meet him ? I can take you there".


Srujana's immediate sharp retort was "I don't want to meet Salman Khan the plumber or Shahrukh Khan the electrician. I just want to meet my Shahrukh Khan, ashte ( that's all).


Children these days seamlessly connected with their thoughts, measured reasoning, which we elders fail to imbibe it many a times.


The great Leo Tolstoy was right enough to say, "Little Girls Wiser Than Men"..
