Bombay – “Sarkar Bharat Chodo”

Its time for Non co-operation,
I and you are no Herds,
We are thinking humans,
We need not react,
Mobs do that,
But Act, we must,
think what is good for us,
Firstly as an individual,
As a responsible family member,
A member of the society, country and the global community.

Government through the hogwash of democratic processes,
Will cease this opportunity to lay down another 5% for National security,
And the nationalist in us will believe as if mahatma was on the cash register,

Don’t you haggle at Fashion Street, don’t you utilize your resources to the best, save every penny at the grocery, and then why do you close your eyes and pay taxes?
You think they are building roads with your money, saving siachen by spending 100 crores a day or providing bread and butter to the rest of Indian poor.

Bombay you know your money well, you know you percentages and fractions to the nth digit.
But then Delhi knows your weakest point better.
You all love to pay taxes.
They will form another agency, more costs, and you will pay for their ineffectiveness.
And if you must, pay hafta to Bin Laden, as a lot of Bombay pays to Dawood.
You will be safer.

This is the time,
Do some more calculations; tell them you will vote only for the ones who will remove direct taxes. Meaning “No Income Tax”
Sack 73000 employees of this most corrupt setup.
One city Bombay, if does not pay income tax meaning 60% of India’s direct tax revenue is cut.
Smaller government, fewer norms, more of civil society, less of Khadi clad.
They get enough from indirect taxes anyway, consumption based. Anyway, why should one be taxed for excelling in whatever he is good at?
Direct taxes are only a way of asking people not to earn well.

Well there could be many rational views of why not.
And we all know this is not going to happen overnight,
But if you do not question the conventional now,
Never might it be,

The intelligentsia was not interested in independence of this country as well for a long time before 1947.
Let them try taxing the farmers,
And you will see how we get this political class out of any system they are getting good at.
Revolutions happen at the farms and factories and their economics comes out of your pockets.
Wake up guys; hit them where it hurts them the most.
Don’t you shout out at the provider of your annual maintenance contract, maybe refuse to pay him if his services are unsatisfactory?
Well, this and any government is unable to provide a satisfactory service, unable to honor their contract.
Is it not logical to seek for the basic “Right to Life”?
Is it not logical to keep your money to your self just to seek that?
Is it not logical to ask them to leave us alone?

Bounty Hunter will be back......shortly

Dear Readers,

Some of you may know me and immodest though I may sound, I presume you may have enjoyed reading my comments, as much as you enjoy I-Me-Rajesh's musings.....

After a hiatus of almost 2 months....I would like to let you all know....

that just as the cliched saying goes...that Bombay always bounces back......so will this commenter.......

In a time of grave national reckoning......hmmm


Is this the

End of the Beginning

or just the

Beginning of the End

for this mish-mash we call India.....hmmmm

Signed,
Yours truly

Bounty Hunter

Bombay – Next is what

Candles lit on Gateway,
On Nariman Point and at Hemant’s doorway,
Resilient soul of Bombay,

Candles of different colors,
Size and shapes,
Hues and aroma,

Should they not hoard them till ever?
For they will need these wax sticks forever,

For next is a nuclear detonation,
Right there at your gates,
India gate or gateway,
Next will come,
Sooner than you think,

Bombay you will need those candles then,
Not just for your show of deadness,
But to seek your way out of darkness,

Or will you make next of what you must,
Seek for those taxes you have paid,
Build some other characters for your city,
Is it not time to search your resilient soul?
Or just wait for what is next.
