An open letter to our prime minister

Dear Prime Minister.

 I saw your pics today & respect your humbleness even when you are abused day in and out. I have huge respect for you and you are an inspiration to many. Self made, fighting all odds from being called " maut ka saudagar'' to being a world most followed leader. 

The risk of Surgical strikes where opposition did not spare you asking for proof, god forbid if it had been a failure. Demonetisation where 38 leading economists of the world discounted India for next one year, forget the likes of P Chidambaram, Manmohan Singh and many more who had hidden agenda. Today you stand tall with GDP on track and economists running for cover.

 This letter is from an ordinary citizen who is in pain today. Pained to see Anti national slogans being glorified in name of freedom of speech. Pained to see the same Delhi university which gave foundation to my carrier debating how Army rapes woman. Pained to see a girl Gurmehar Kaur occupies three days in media when a martyred Jawan not even five minutes. 

 When one runs away from news and you switch on FM all you hear every five minutes are lies of Arvind Kejriwal. How he has created Singapore out of Delhi when everyone knows the truth. Switch off the radio and plan a drive. The traffic chaos and pollution will bring you back home coughing. And then when one goes on Social media you find abuses and trolling. 

 You are planning to bring citizens under Income tax net and rightly so. Everyone needs to pay taxes as their duty towards nation. A company is required to give every detail to last rupee how much money earned and spent. But what about political parties? I have to file an RTI to get their balance sheet? which also may not be available.  

 Whenever I see full newspaper page advertisement of AAM Aadmi Party and every 15 minutes on Fm channels I feel as if my hard earned money is being burnt in bonfire. Along with my tax money burnt are dreams of lacs of those poor who still dream of false promises being fulfilled. 

 If I am expected to pay taxes then I have all rights to know where they are being used, Why it is not available online like any other company information on ROC?  When I advertise my brand I pay out of my pocket. Then who gives political parties to advertise using tax payer money? 

 Companies like infosys are under scanner for high payments to management. But at least they manage, But why I have to approach RTI and risk my life to Know how much our MLA & MP splurging on my money?

 Theses thoughts have crossed my mind for years. when is see small children begging on streets even after 60 years of independence. When I see criminals fighting elections as proxy. When I see a old woman sleeping on footpath who was promised an old age home. When I see poor struggling at government hospitals and Chief ministers spending lacs at Jindal in Bangalore,

 I am writing for first time as I feel you shall be able to understand my pain. I request you with folded hands to bing about a change so that I pay taxes with positivity and not out of compulsion. You and you are the only hope for me. I might get trolled but I can relate with you coz I share the same modest background as yours.
An ordinary citizen

    Renukaji,
    Good points made. However there are many spelling mistakes that are not pardonable from a professional like you (sample: 'carrier' instead of 'career'). You need to proof read proor to posting.

      Thank you Guruji for the gyan. I highlighted it only because she enjoys a wide audience and not to see my name here unlike you.

    I have another question to add to your open letter to PM. Why my tax money is used to support, subsidize, safeguard, anti national elements from Huriyat to JNU students etc. Why should I bear that burden? I am more than happy when used for constructive programmes, I accept it has to be used for paying salaries for civil servants, I object when it's siphoned of by the corrupt and I am outrageously angry when it's used for security to Huriyat separatists, when subsiding students who shout about breaking the country, when it's given to other States whose " rulers" divide the country for petty personal gains. I think I reflect the sentiment of huge majority of the population. Provide us a method of withholding, may be a small fraction, of taxes as protest.

Stay Invested with Indian Equities.

Let me start with my own start with equity and why I have most of my investments in Equity and have a full financial freedom, choice to stop working any day and a good corpus for my family. It was2001 and I was blessed with a boy.  Grandfather gifted a good amount to him. I invested half in RBI bonds and half in Indian Equity. Post 7 years. 10 lacs with RBI Bonds accumulated to 15 lacs , while equity fund made it to 70 lacs( thanks to that bull run of 2004). It wast that day and I have not invested a penny in fixed deposit. It has been equity all the way.  I always stay invested, continue with my sip, add more to corrections, increase SIp when corrections are major and show patience when markets consolidate and goes through time correction  Many Investors who have made good gains in Indian Equity are thinking of booking profits and may be trying to re enter on corrections or investing in other asset class. Wealth is created by staying invested and enjoying the power of co...

Mutual Funds versus Monopoly Game – Decoding the Best Moves Mutual Funds versus Monopoly Game – Decoding the Best Moves Are you ready to roll the dice and learn about the fascinating world of investing? In this blog post, we're going to compare mutual funds with the classic board game Monopoly. Yes, you read that right – Monopoly! So grab your top hat, and let's dive in! First off, what exactly are mutual funds? Well, think of them as a diverse collection of investments, kind of like owning multiple properties in Monopoly. Instead of putting all your money into one house on Boardwalk, you spread it out across different assets like stocks, bonds, and more. This diversification helps reduce your risk, just like owning multiple properties protects you from landing on someone else's hotel! Now, let's talk about building wealth. In Monopoly, your goal is to buy properties, build houses and hotels, and collect rent from other players. It's all about generating passive inc...

Sanjay Leela Bhansali distorting history

Mr Sanjay Leela Bhansali if I make a movie a decade later showing this accomplished director was a drug addict and used to beat his co actors on sets of course with a disclaimer that  this movie is a work of art and changes have been made to characters but use the name Sanjay Leela Bhansali How will you feel? Sanjay Leela Bhansali was born in the year 1963 in Mumbai. He was a student of Film and television Institute of India, from where he was thrown out after a spat with the institute’s director.  Bhansali is also the only filmmaker who couldn’t be bothered with authenticity, accuracy and other such yardsticks when it comes to creating cinema. Devdas He is the only filmmaker who could not only take Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s much-loved parable  Devdas  and give it a saas-bahu serial makeover in the name of creative license. After all, in the dozen odd adaptations of the novel no one could come with the idea of putting Chandramukhi and Paro in t...
