Is it the start of the end to the Aam Admi Party (AAP)?

Not in very distant past.... hardly one week back... my prediction was 'AAP can't live long'. That seems to be nearing very fast. If some thing raises very quickly, it short lives. The law of Nature. The chances of AAP surviving in its present form are very bleak. Akshay Kumar of the Firstpost analysed it very simple and clear. I have discussed 'Group dynamics' in this blog earlier. According to this, to make a strong group or organisation one requires a lot of time. Individual ideologies of the members need to talk to each other and should evolve together. And it needs sufficient time for bonding ideas. If the initial differences are week then the struggle between members end smoothly. If the ideologies of the individual members have already evolved strongly in different directions and if some one tries to bring those idealists together the storm will not lost that smoothly. This was apparent when Mrinalini Sarabhai and Kumar Vishwas of AAP slammed each other.  If the initial differences die down soon then there occurs in future another ideological turbulence. If the foundations are strong, those differences too can be overthrown. The concrete slab cannot become stronger if not cooled down with water and sufficient time.  Same theory applies here. Foundation wise for AAP, ati-corruption plank is the only base. It suits for a social awareness organization, where it doesn't deal with huge amounts of money. But politics are highly susceptible to corruption. Any organization to succeed it requires members to display selflessness. One can't find selfless people on every street and corner. The people who joined AAP in lakhs in last few weeks can't all be anti-greedy. They all are Indians, 99% of the people in the world are greedy. 99.9% of the people in India are greedy. If AAP able to garner lakhs of party membership subscriptions and prominent people from media, business and several NGOs within days soon after its Delhi win.... how many of them are non-greedy with flexible ideologies? Does anyone really say those who all joined after Delhi win are not opportunistic? Then how one can say, if really wanted, this fragile AAP will live longer?

The TRAP!!! - Who is falling into who's trap?

Now a days #MSM (the sweetest name given by Social media to them is #PaidMedia) is restlessly trying to cash in on Narendra Modi's each and every comment. Nowadays Media is hitting hard its viewers to believe Modi is communal, Congress is secular, Modi is anti Muslim, Congress is for all, Modi's development facts are totally fake and the list goes on. The media for now stopped at making a statement 'Modi is falling in the trap made by Congress'. If you gone through prime time debate on @HeadlinesToday (on 15thJuly13) by @rahulkanwal(Twitter handle of Rahul KanwalManaging Editor of the Indian news channel Headlines Today)  you may easily understand what I'm discussing about.

I said paid media as the media leaves no hint to believe it is unbiased.... 
There is no point in attacking a party which is already in opposition if the media is not paid.... I need not to explain the ways of payment..  
There is no point in targeting one person who was backed by 36% of Indians constantly..... if not paid.... 
There is need to attack ruling party to balance the democracy if not paid by ruling party. 
Media would have favoured common man if it is not paid. 
Media would have harped on rising prices if not paid or not given content to advertise. 
Media is numb on various scams of congress as it was paid to not open its mouth. 
Media is silence on silence of our PM on its prime shows- doesn't it shows the media is paid?
There are several of these instances everyone knows who closely follow all the news papers and channels...

MSM is not dumb to give direct hints that it is paid. It shows few anti Gvt. shows to its audience as the cat in well known story of 'Cat drinks milk with closed eyes and thinks nobody sees it'. Media may be dumb to know that its audience are no longer dumbos like its pet Yuvraj. It is better if media soon realise its days are numbered. So that it can take midcourse correction. Otherwise it will see its death with its own eyes.

Comes to trap... Modi and his highly educated strategic team is very well aware of the Media's situation. If One man's simple words making ripples across the ocean of media, which deeply hates that man and his rise.... Is it falling into trap? If one man is occupying more than half of entire news spectrum... is it a trap of media or its a trap to media? If a man occupies TIMEs cover page twice in less than two years.... is it media trap or congress trap?

Growth or evolution is required. If one keep on concentrating earning money it is not called an evolution. If a news channel keep on improving its TRPs unscientifically- its not sustainable growth. Media... You need to think. You need to allow new water to come in. You need to allow feedback to you and learn to respect feedback.

Modi is having a well planned strategy, which MSM's intelligent desi paid journos unable to grasp it. Modi is making his rivals too a part of his campaign. If he talk simple without adding 'puppy' or 'veil'- the area of spread for those comments will be minimal. But with addition of those small words- see the widespread advertisement for his comments. Modi knows how to use brainless Congress and its paid media. The spread of his message is multiplied with small additions and very well analysed analogies . Readers are best able to deside.... Whether Modi is falling pray for Congress strategy or Congress dumbos & journos are falling for Modi's strategy?

The sin of India- Politicians and Mainstream media

Once I heard a criticism about Indians by Indians that Indians usually spend their time on seriously debating on small things such as 'How the colour of Cow's tail is going to affect the fortunes of a person when he takes that Cow on his house opening ceremony', 'How going to Baba temple yields fortunes- after taking bath or without bath?' and 'How one has to speak and how he shouldn't have talked on this thing or that thing- in this way or that way...'
When I see recent slugfest by media persons, who were thought to be cream of Indian professional think tank (eg. 1 by FirstPost, 2 by Times of India, 3 by NDTV  and soooo oooon), in the same tone of politicians of India, those who were deemed not only corrupt but also opportunistic with a single puppy comment of Narendra Modi, I have to concede that Indian psyche nowhere near to improving its state of mentality if there is no criminal thought behind this slugfest.
It is known truth, no politician in today's India is no greater than a street thief. They do in their way whatever they want to do and bend their tongue in whatever way it suits improving their situation whenever they caught. But it is sad to know that Aam Admi of India is increasingly in a belief that our mainstream media along with some notable intellectuals increasingly falling prey for political virus.
In the modern days media is heart of a nation. It is the representative of the people and the psyche of Nation.  It should lead the people giving the right direction to them by knowing what is right to do for the sake of country. Media persons seems to be earning for their food and stay not for their country's good and state. But they are the best people who can easily understand that their this kind of approach cannot serve not only their country but themselves too for long.
This is widely played game. If you play for your team, your team gets prize money and you also get a chance to win man of the match. But if you play for your personal records ignoring group benefits- eventually your chances will die along with your team.
Debate on what's useful for country not your TRPs. Debate on what's hurting the country most, not what's hurting you and your boss. Create a potential which attracts more creative views to improve the state of state, but not to improve the TRP of channel by twisting few comments.
