'Chokeslam' over Politics..

Meet Mr. X - A hardworking guy working with a multinational company on his merit.

Also meet, Mr. Y - Another well-groomed talented guy working at a start-up company.

Both X and Y know each other since last 10 years. 

The similarity between X and Y is that both of them believes that India should progress and the upcoming years for them should be better than the previous ones.

But the only difference of opinion in X and Y is that X believes that leader M has the capabilities to change the fate of this country. So he follows leader M and his political ideology likes his posts on social media and forwards them in his circle.

Y believes that leader M is not fit for a country like India. He believes in the ideology of leader N. So he follows leader N, likes his posts on social media and forward them in his circle.

Of late, X gets into an argument with Y on social media over who's better among M and N...The argument gets heated and in rage X blocks Y.


Does this situation find similarity with any of your recent experience? With me, it does.

But with such situations, I remember my school days where all my friends were a great fan of WWE (it used to be WWF, then) and each one of us had one of his/her favourite hero in the wrestling ring. I was a huge fan of Undertaker then. And it was just for his 'Chokeslam'. Another friend of mine used to like 'The Rock' for his style. Neither we knew these heroes personally nor we had seen them in reality for once. But we were like gaga over them and used to argue with each other in a similar fashion as most of us argue on social media. But I don't remember breaking our friendships for Undertaker or The Rock.

So now why are people behaving worse than schoolchildren and breaking their relationships over politicians whom they have neither met nor personally known? One must retrospect how much importance one should give to the news/posts/forwards on social media, which the beneficiaries like politicians and media are serving us every day.

I thought I should express and share this as few people also blocked me for my 'Chokeslam' political opinions ðŸ˜Š

  P.S.- When Pathan crossed 1000 Cr. Worldwide, I had written a blog, so for  Jawan , ‘ Ek  blog to  banata   hai ’  😊 'Ek Raja tha, ek ke baad ek jung haarta gaya, bhuka-pyaasa, bahut gusse me tha..' The description suits SRK who has delivered back-to-back blockbusters in a single year and may give another blockbuster with Dunki. After Pathan, now Jawan is on the verge of crossing 1000 Crore Worldwide collections. Whosoever has watched Jawan in theatres, has something to say, be it good or bad. You love it or hate it but you cannot ignore it. I have watched Jawan with family and surprisingly my teenage son and little daughter also liked  it . You can call me a fan of SRK, but the fact is that I am a fan of Aamir’s acting. I liked SRK in Baazigar and he won my heart with DDLJ. That was the era of romance and SRK established himself as the King of Romance with back-to-back romantic superhits like DTPH and KKHH. When eloping from home was cool, he convinced the couples with a p

  ‘INDIA, India’ Irfan came shouting into my study, as Ronjoy and Amitabh were already sitting beside me discussing the funding strategy for their start-up. ‘What happened Irfan? Which match have we won?’I asked. ‘It’s not a cricket match Sanju sir, but a political tournament. And now the poster boy of INDIA will soon be seen in the parliament.’ Irfan explained with ecstasy. ‘I don’t think that it will make any difference to the election result. Because it is not India, but I.N.D.IA.’ Amitabh clarified. ‘But will it make any difference to the common man, if the government changes?’ I asked. ‘Definitely sirjee.’ Ranjoy screamed with fury, ‘Can’t you see what’s happening in our country? Every now and then there are incidences of violence in Bengal. And what to say about Manipur and Haryana riots!’ ‘So do you think that the poster boy of INDIA will change that?’ Asked Amitabh. ‘He may not change it completely, but he will at least discuss the issues that really matter to a common man.’ Ir

TamilNadu Express

TAMILNADU EXPRESS (This write up is not to hurt anyone’s feelings. It’s purely based on the inputs from the passengers traveling in TN Express. Readers are requested not to take it in wrong sense.) And finally my Diwali vacations got over. For me, it didn’t only mean change of holidays into work, or rest into pressure but change from one culture into another different (rather indifferent for me) culture. I boarded the train from Nagpur (my hometown) to Chennai, where I work. The train was as usual, Tamilnadu Express. The speciality of this train is that it is the fastest train in its class and is known for its accurate timing (at least from Chennai to Nagpur). It goes from Delhi to Chennai and vice-versa. Generally we have to reserve the tickets in advance before a month or two for getting it confirmed. But during that time one of my friend Rahul who lives in Delhi booked the ticket for me, as he was also going to travel during that period to Chennai. That time, he was on training in C
