Asatyagraha of a Yogi

October 27, 2016May 14, 2018 ~ Gangaraju Gunnam ~ 1 Comment

Baba Ramdev has much to be proud of. Then why is he angry? Patanjali Ayurved, of which he is a partner and brand ambassador, is the fastest growing company in recent times. It is slated to touch a turnover of Rs.5,000 crores. This kind of success against well established global giants has thrilled me and … Continue reading Asatyagraha of a Yogi

Surge Fare Fairness

May 1, 2016May 1, 2016 ~ Gangaraju Gunnam ~ 1 Comment

Arvind Kejriwal plays the classic government con. Break your leg, then sell you a crutch. He first creates the problem — choking supply with the odd-even number rule that keeps half the cars in Delhi off the roads. Then he postures as a saviour — banning surge pricing of Uber and Ola (which actually helps … Continue reading Surge Fare Fairness

Who’s Pulling Whose Leg?

April 9, 2016April 9, 2016 ~ Gangaraju Gunnam ~ Leave a comment

Victimhood is the new Sunrise industry. In truth, it’s been around for as long as politics has been; but of late it has been demonstrating that there are no limits to the branches it can encompass. Including lengthened limbs. The newspapers are agog with shock and indignation that a hospital has performed a height-increasing surgery … Continue reading Who’s Pulling Whose Leg?

Dearth Hour

March 29, 2014 ~ Gangaraju Gunnam ~ Leave a comment

I’m scared of the dark. Obviously many are emphatically not. Today at 8.30 pm, with the flick of a switch, they are doing the suffering globe a world of good. Are they? There are 1.3 billion people who cannot turn off the lights. Because they don’t have electricity. I would shudder to tell them that candles … Continue reading Dearth Hour

Call For a Bandh to Bandhs

February 20, 2014February 20, 2014 ~ Gangaraju Gunnam ~ 1 Comment

If work is worship, a bandh is praying to the Devil. One can never understand how stopping work contributes to general welfare. This method of protest is a remnant of last century’s trade union militancy. It is coercive by nature, tramples on individual freedom, and forces a person to act against his own interests.  No political … Continue reading Call For a Bandh to Bandhs

Two States; One glorious Destiny

February 18, 2014 ~ Gangaraju Gunnam ~ Leave a comment

Rarely does one get a chance to make a fresh beginning. Even rarer it is for a  whole family, say six people,  to get this chance. But for nearly ten crore people to get such a chance at the same time is like epic fiction. And to think that we Telugu people got this opportunity … Continue reading Two States; One glorious Destiny

Air Indians & The Rest Of The Indians

June 23, 2012July 15, 2012 ~ Gangaraju Gunnam ~ Leave a comment

The Maharaja is on dole. He has a loss of Rs.27,000 crore and a debt of Rs.40,000 crore that cannot be repaid. To this royal pauper the government wants to loan another Rs.30,000 crore. That is nearly 1,00,000 crore Rupees of commoners’ hard earned money down a hole in the sky! What lofty purpose is … Continue reading Air Indians & The Rest Of The Indians

The FreeDumb Struggle – Government Monkey

June 23, 2012July 15, 2012 ~ Gangaraju Gunnam ~ Leave a comment

We are free; only to be dumb. All other freedoms are being slowly whittled away by governments who want to save the people or people who want to save the globe. The tragedy is that we are willingly donning clanking chains without the whisper of a struggle. One pressure group barters away a bit of … Continue reading The FreeDumb Struggle – Government Monkey
