Illusive Waters - Ram & Bangladesh

UP election campaign in progress..and Rahul Gandhi who is supposed to be the future of Congress makes a lame statement saying Congress divided Pakistan.
I am trying to understand why he made that statement.

To take credit for the division
Everybody knows Congress had an important hand in it. But will this admission help them now. India has always claimed non-interference in other nation’s matters. This only negates that. In addition, this will infuriate Pakistan and cause things in Kashmir to worsen. This is a very bad statement to make at a time when so we are suffering so many terrorist attacks.

The people of UP should supposedly be impressed by this statement. I fail to see how that will happen. Is this also a Hindutva card in the political land of UP.
Rahul Gandhi has been projected as the future PM and son of the nation. He is educated, and committed to the country much like his entire family has been. Was partition of India also done in India’s favour ??

Speaking of other issues, the fact that there is still a debate on the Babri Masjid or Ram Mandir, explains the mentality of some of the politicians who have no interest whatever in resolving the much more critical issues to the people but instead indulge in such cheap politics to keep the throne.

Illusive Waters - weird name!

The name may sound weird...but then most things about me are :-)

Its a perfectly logical name with a lot of meaning...here goes my explanation

  • I am a huge Pink Floyd fan. Roger Waters has been an idol for ages now. Their lyrics are a gr8 source of inspiration. Couple that with their amazing hallu sound....whoa!
  • I love water. Ok not everyone does...yes it is necessary for survival and all...but I sincerely love it. In fact I rate it above Beer among my favourite drinks :-O I love beaches, rivers, lakes, RAIN, everything about water.
  • As you guessed by now, Water(s) means the world to me. It is the kind of world I would love to live in. A world of natural beauty unspoilt by MAN. A world of happiness, contentment. A world where man doesnt need medicines to live every day. A world where the sky is blue, water clean, animals safe, children healthy. A world where every word would not be judged like a crime. Guess that world is no longer achievable. The Waters are too too far.
  • But then we base our lives on that kind of world..the Waters we want to be in. Everything about the world may not be perfect or the way we want it to be. We have it in our hearts, in our sights and we do get a glimpse of it but very often we are doused in our troubles and are unable to catch it. Hence the world we seek is illusive.

It is what I call Illusive Waters.

Illusive Waters - getting close....!

Now I have a bit of it figured out.

Lets see what I have done so far...
  1. Signed in using by google account to create a new blog....got the desired name
  2. Got confused about blog, post, new blog or new post...and created something but canceled it.
  3. Created something again...but this time called my blog waters-first....thinking there will be a new name for every post :S
  4. Of course I didnt like what I did!!!!!!
  5. Created a new blog with name waters-illusive and voila!....wrote two posts...was disappointed not to get the name illusive-waters..of course it was taken by me :stupid:
  6. Today with luck I got back to this name and YET ANOTHER start to my blogging career.

Now I see three different blogs made by me....but this is the one that will be used by me. And this will be the one you need to read to gain some insights as to how the universe functions...big promises huh!!
