Power
I have been busy and am not able to write anything...but today...AB in his blog wrote a very decent entry ..."palace power"...in which he talks about the film Sarkar Raj directed by Ram Gopal Varma. If you have time please read the blog at
blogs dot bigadda dot com /ab/ and view day 41.
Here is my response to his entry...more once I get some time..

Dear Amitabh Ji,
By far the BEST blog of yours and a very realistic depiction of what "power" means...I presume this is your tribute to Sarkar Raj. Nevertheless, I think you can screen write a good non-fiction in near future.
I am a strong believer of "power" and think that without power, you can not achieve any thing.... as Robert Moses (master builder of New York) once said..."those who can, build, those who can't, criticize".
I always believe that power is always hidden in you...the only thing you have to do is to look inward and arouse it. This is real empowerment. I also believe that empowerment can not be "given", or to say, some one can not be empowered, if they fail to see the power within themselves. In my opinion, empowerment comes with time and difficult situations. Once a crisis strikes and a person is cornered, he/she has no option but to fight (for survival) or to perish, which no no one would like.
Power also has many paradoxes and to understand them and to survive power, one needs shrewdness, tact and perseverance. The aim is not to show that one is superior or otherwise...but it is to remain in a position that no one can challenge. This is the very motto of Chess, where you have to outguess your opponent and reach the destination. I am a great fan of chess, so am I a fan of politics and politicians (let us not debate as to whether good or bad) and I am the greatest fan of the children on streets who master the power game and survive the game every day. I pray to god to give these children all the strength to face these challenges. We are too lucky to live in this world of comfort, talking and chatting about issues that are beyond the three entities: Roti, Kapda our Makaan.
These are the few words I wanted to add to your blog today.
