Arvind's letter to Sheila Dixit

Smt. Sheila Dikshit ji,
I have received a letter written by your political secretary, Mr. Pawan Khera in which you have raised certain issues.  This letter answers those questions.  However, I am perplexed why you did not write to me directly  instead of using your staff member’s name.  A few months back you did the same thing.  I had stated in a public meeting that you are a broker of electricity companies. You probably took offense to it.  Even at that time, instead of filing a defamatory case against me in your name, you did it using Mr Khera’s name.  There is a saying in English- “A leader should lead from the front”.  Hiding behind someone, or firing from someone else's shoulder, demonstrates the weakness of a leader.
You have stated in your  letter that Delhi politics was very clean upto now, and I have muddied it. You are feeling this way because till now, there was no one to oppose you in Delhi. There was also no opposition party in Delhi.  There was match fixing between BJP and Congress. Both parties had made Delhi politics a virtual business for them. BJP and Congress are both in partnership with electricity and water companies. You kept raising  the price for water and electricity and BJP would do a farcical protest on the streets, sometimes for an hour, or a day. The citizens were being robbed, exploited and crying out in pain. But things were going well for both parties.  Both were happy. Now, suddenly Aam Aadmi Party has come forward and spoiled the game for both . On one side you are unhappy, you are saying that we have muddied Delhi politics.  On the other side BJP is also unhappy.  They too are saying that we have muddied Delhi politics. But the common citizen of Delhi is very happy. This is the first time; the common citizens of Delhi have an honest alternative.

Brutal attack on AAP volunteers by Delhi police

Delhi police brutality! Yesterday many of our volunteers were brutally beaten up by the Delhi police for protesting outside the police station asking for the police to register an FIR in the case of a  young woman who was confined and raped for 2 days in Gokulpuri.  The picture (see below) and videos of the incident shows the viciousness of the attack on peacefully protesting young men and women.  Several of them were admitted to the hospital with broken bones and bleeding wounds.  When one of our volunteers asked for water, he was offered urine.  (Read the  news report  in 'The Hindu') Volunteers are our strength and when the police beats up any one of us, each lathi, each blow is a pain inflicted on all of us. Gandhiji’s freedom fighters had to endure the same brutality at the hands of the British rulers. Little did we know that this unjust treatment would continue even after we got independence and this time at the hands of our ow...

How To Keep the Losers Out Of Your Life

One of the biggest challenges of giving relationship advice to people is telling them like it is while not being too blunt about it. Honestly, I don’t mind sharing my insights whenever the guy in their life is giving them some grief. But the thing I’ve noticed with these poor gals is that their problems aren’t just AVOIDABLE, but also caused by their OWN doing. At first, you’d think these girls have the worst of luck when it comes to men. Why else would they wind up with one jerk after another? But the hard truth is that these losers are in their lives because they ALLOWED it to happen. They may not have any control over their guy’s jerky behavior, but ENABLING it is another matter. Sometimes, I feel like telling them that it’s THEIR fault for putting up with it, but constructive advice is a lot more effective than playing the blame game. Based on my own experience, I’ve learned a little trick to break the nasty cycle of dating the same jerk over and over. After I made a ...

The Three Deadly Sins Of Dating

No one said it was easy to become the best man you could possibly be to attract women. Any guy knows that he’s putting himself on the line every time he’s out there, interacting with the opposite sex. Any way you look at it, the dating scene can be a tough gig to play. But then again, anything of value requires time and effort, doesn’t it? For some guys, they understand that investing themselves comes with the territory. They get that they need to work on themselves physically, mentally and attitude-wise if they’re interested in a flourishing dating life. Unfortunately, some men run into their share of bad luck and end up being bitter and resentful when things go south. They have trouble rolling with the punches and getting back on their feet. But the truth is that dating can often be an uphill effort for the majority of the male population. However, you should bear in mind that the payoff is pretty sweet. Imagine having more dates in your calendar than you can handle and...
