20Three Grateful Years

Firstly, thank you dear one for making 23 years look like a Jiffy!!! – all credits to you for making it happen despite all the Tsunamis or Tremors that tried to rock. Grave Mistakes Overlooked, Crises after Crises Overcome so many times!!! Only you have the heart and the capability to do it. Exactly what I meant when I shared these words earlier!

Positive feelings come from being honest about yourself and accepting your personality, and physical characteristics, warts and most of all accepting the Mistakes; and, from belonging to a family that accepts you without question. So true! Experiential  

Once this is done, Nothing in the world really matters. And you have the strength to give back better than what you get.

Yes! Nothing matters really – I derive the strength to give back better than what I have received with the ammunition of your support.

I vividly this day 23 years ago, it rained then too (and it has rained every year on this day since). It simply did not matter to me then nor today because on every such rainy days, you were the shelter to me and the kids (and many many others), you never let anyone who had fallen slipping, to stay fallen.

The early days when you asked me innocently, if we have to add water into the rice cooker to cook rice! Curd rice being a staple food for days that I couldn’t cook, sleepless nights when Divya first and then Vishnu came along – Everything became worthwhile (or actually nothing) weighed against what you bring to our lives. (Another matter that the variety of food and the spread today is so vast, no one can believe you have acquired this expertise, well! until they knew my weight)

So, a big Thanks dearest Aparna for coming into my life 23 years ago. Thanks for bringing two Gems to add value to our lives. Once again I repeat, it would be God being kind again, if Divya can grow up to be just like you – A Wonderful Human Being! (Vishnu, not like me ;))

And BTW! I have to say nothing has changed from the time I wrote these

1) Two over a Score – Still Going Strong

2) Divine & Unconditional Love

And many more that I have written on your birthdays or our wedding anniversaries.

We have also been extremely lucky to have been blessed by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji who has always been a inexplicably huge source of Strength in this journey of togetherness – the Master whose unconditional love has always been showered on us. Thank you Gurudev – Ever grateful for that

Once again! Thank you Dearest Aparna! Happy Anniversary as we move on from 20Three to Twenty5

And here is how we ushered in 24th year of Blissful Journey. Thanks Divya and Vishnu for making it so special, Suresh (not me), Ranchana, Ullas and Tejaswini. It was a great time dining in High Park, Mysore

Now, this certainly is prima facie evidence to suggest the AAP has some CIA connection.
Author RSN Singh is a former military intelligence officer who later served in the Research & Analysis Wing. He has authored two books: “Asian Strategic and Military Perspective” and “Military Factor in Pakistan”.

A dear Friend of mine Surajit Dasgupta (Click Facebook and Twitter  to reach him) adds:

  1. A New York University researcher Shimrit Lee visited Manish Sisodia’s NGO Kabir and prepared a report, Public Power: India and Other Democracies (2010). She assisted in Kabir’s campaign for the Right to Information and Local Self-Rule. She went on to work actively in Egypt. It is suspected that Lee had advised the people now heading the Aam Aadmi Party to launch a ‘Colour Revolution’ in India? Subsequently she went to Egypt and witnessed the Tahrir Square uprising. She might well have advised the AAP honchos in 2010 to launch public protests in India and propagate the idea of governance through mohalla and gram sabhas. The Union Home Ministry has no record of Kabir having sought its clearance to host a suspicious researcher who has been active in the Middle East, Chad in Africa, required as per law of the land
  2. Kabir received funds from the Ford Foundation (Rs 86,61,742), PRIA (Rs 2,37,035), Manjunath Shanmugam Trust (Rs 3,70,000), Dutch Embassy (Rs 19,61,968), Association for India’s Development (Rs 15,00,000), India’s Friends Association (Rs 7,86,500), United Nationals Development Programme (Rs12,52,742) while Rs 11,35,857 were collected from individual donations between 2007 to 2010.  Click on the links below for complete articles
    1. It’s Official – US-Based Ford Foundation Funding Anna’s Movement
    2. CIA’s Trojan Horse enters the Heart of India 
    3. Getting Paid for Fighting Against Corruption!
  3. Ford Foundation India Representative Steven Solnick admitted that Foundation’s last instalment to Kabir was in 2010. “Our first grant to the NGO was of $1,72,000 in 2005; the second was in 2008 of $1,97,000,” and that Magsaysay award for emergent Leadership was also funded by them.
    1. Kejriwal Admits, His NGO Took Money From Ford Foundation 2 Years Back
  4. Lawyer Manohar Lal filed a PIL in the Delhi High Court — WP (C) 3412/2012 — on 21 May 2012. The High Court has sought status report within 3 months from the government of India vide their order dated 30 May 2012. Kabir was raided by the Union Home Ministry officials for a suspected violation of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) on 22 August 2012 after a court order. Following these developments, the government lawyer submitted to the court that the state could lay its hands only on minor billing discrepancies in Kabir’s account (as well as in the account of an NGO run by Kiran Bedi).
  5. Based on the government submission, and a fact that was revealed to me that Arvind Kejriwal’s NGO Public Cause Research Foundation did not have permission to receive foreign funds, I defended the AAP vehemently and challenged the allegation that the party was funded by Ford Foundation. Till then, I was not privy to the information that Kejriwal was associated not only with PCRF but also Kabir. In the past one month, however, the controversy surrounding Kabir resurfaced in newspapers with evidence of Sisodia misappropriating the foreign funds received by Kabir. The papers also revealed that Kejriwal is a part of Kabir, too.
  6. Kejriwal’s NGO network goes beyond PCRF and Kabir. He also heads Parivartan that claimed “is not registered under any Act as a society or a trust or a Company. It is a people’s movement. For Income Tax purposes, it is an Association of Persons”
    However, it advertised through various mediums in June 2002 that “all donations made to Parivartan are tax exempt under section 80 G. Parivartan is also registered under section 12A of Income Tax Act.” This is misleading as its present document says, “Parivartan Foundation for Socio Economic Development filed for tax exemption to donors under Section 80G on 10th August, 2009. The permission was granted on 08th January, 2010 and was valid for all donations between April 1, 2009 and March 31, 2010. This has been further extended through an order dated 29th March, 2011 for all donations from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2013. Foundation also has clearance under Section 12AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961.”
  7.  Does Kejriwal receive funds from the World Bank as well? The World Bank featured the insignificant work of Parivartan in their report, “Social Accountability Stocktaking Exercise for South and East Asia. Washington, DC: World Bank Institute. (2005) (p 30-32)
    1. All Asia Case Studies (Check Entry No 4) Partivartan
    2. Where did our money go?
  8. Kejriwal was selected for the Ramon Magsaysay Award only after featuring in the World Bank report above. Narayana Murthy, the Infosys chief, is a Trustee of the Ford Foundation. He apparently advocated Kejriwal’s case for the award. In the AAP national convener’s biography as prepared by the Ramon Magsaysay Foundation, the first reference has been made to the CIA (Central intelligence of America).
    1. Kejriwal, Arvind | BIOGRAPHY (on Ramson Magsasay Award Foundation Site)
    2. Search Result on CIA Website for Arvind Kejriwal says it all
  9. Kejriwal represented Sampoorna Parivartan NGO. The secretary of the NGO worked in the Commission Advisory Committee of the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission constituted vide the Notification No F1(135)/DERC/2000-01/5092 Delhi, the 27 March 2003
    This implies that the responsibility of power rate hike and installation of faulty metres that the AAP has been crying foul about partly lies on people associated with this very political party! The website of both Parivartan and Kabir were withdrawn when they came under scrutiny in 2012. Even the Ford Foundation hid all the details about funding to Kabir when some blogs revealed their IAC/AAP connection in October 2012.

PS: As a result of the great work done by Sri Surajit Dasgupta, Founding Member of Aam Aadmi Party who has since quit the party (amongst many other founding members), the duplicity of Kejriwal (and his handlers abroad ) have been exposed. At the time of writing this blog, all the links quoted in support of averments have been validated and reachable. However  I cannot Guarantee that it wouldn’t be taken down.

Krantikari or Brantikari #AAP

As soon as this Video where the so called Paragon of Propriety Arvind Kejriwal went viral, there were some die-hard supporters who defended  & justified the conversation (expectedly). This post is not about what is the expose. In simple words, this only exposed that St. Kejriwal would go to any extent to appear morally correct when he is not.

Point that was conveniently forgotten by them is the Propriety of what happened. If the Interview was well intended, why would he want to dress it up, insisting on focussing and repeating certain part of his interview. It was for the viewers to arrive at a conclusion based on an unadulterated free-flowing interview. After this leak, we are not sure how much of original interview has been retained in the telecast version and what was edited.

For someone who preached Saintly Behaviour and nit picked on every one else sneeze and one who advocated impeccable public behaviour of leaders, this hoarse cough is inexplicable.

Here is the transcript and the video. Make your own conclusions

पुण्य प्रसून बाजपाई: हाँ ये।

अरविंद केजरीवाल: वो वाला थोड़ा थियरेटिकल है, कॉर्पोरेट वाला आप जो बोल रहे थे ना. काफी थियरेटिकल है, इसलिये मैं उसमे नहीं जा रहा था उससे जितना मिड्ल क्लास है वो एन्टी हो जायेगा की हम प्राइवेटाइज़ेशन के खिलाफ हैं, कंपनियों के खिलाफ हैं, इसलिये मैं उसपे नहीं आ रहा था, उस डिबेट में पड़ नहीं रहा जानबूझ कर. बाकी पूछिये।

पुण्य प्रसून बाजपाई: और ये जो हाशिये पर 80 फीसदी समाज है।

अरविंद केजरीवाल: इसमें बोलेंगे।

पुण्य प्रसून बाजपाई: इसमें अब आ जाइये ना. वोट बैंक तो वहीं है ना असल में देश भर में।

अरविंद केजरीवाल: बिल्कुल।

अरविंद केजरीवाल: अब ये बोलना है। भूल गया था मैं बोलना अगर हम उनके लिये कर रहे हैं तो।

अरविंद केजरीवाल: मैं ये नहीं कहना चाहता कि ये सारे प्राइवेट वाले कर रहे हैं… और कोई भी सरकार आ जाये प्राइवेट से कमिशन लेते हैं. तो हम सारे प्राइवेट सेक्टर को नकार देंगे, विच इस नॉट राइट. ठीक था?

पुण्य प्रसून बाजपाई: बहुत क्रांतिकारी। बहुत ही क्रांतिकारी!

अरविंद केजरीवाल: उसी को ज्यादा चला दीजियेगा।

पुण्य प्रसून बाजपाई: नहीं, नहीं। अरे वो तो चलेगा. हम तो माने भगत सिंह वाला हिस्सा.. बड़ा रिअॅक्शन आयेगा इसपे।

English Translation

Punya Prasun Bajpai: Yes

Arvind Kejriwal: That was a bit theoretical — that corporate one you were speaking about. I did not want to get into that as it was too theoretical. Because of it, middle class will go against us thinking that we are against privatisation, companies and so I was not willing to get into that debate. Ask everything else.

Punya Prasun Bajpai: And what about those 80% people that are left on the lurch?

Arvind Kejriwal: Will speak on that.

Punya Prasun Bajpai: Now you should come on this one. They are the real vote bank of the country.

Arvind Kejriwal: Exactly.

Punya Prasun Bajpai: Now we have to speak on this. I forgot to speak about this if we are doing for them.

Arvind Kejriwal: I don’t want to say that all the private companies are doing this….and whatever the government is, they take commission from these private companies. And we will ignore/avoid all the private sector, which is not right. Right?

Punya Prasun Bajpai: Very revolutionary, extremely revolutionary!

Arvind Kejriwal: Play that one more.

Punya Prasun Bajpai: Why not? That one will definitely play. I agree on the Bhagat Singh part. It will evoke a lot of reaction.
