This invitation is being sent to my Whatsapp Contacts only ( I have quit all other Social media like FB, Twitter, Yahoo and Google Groups) Young and Old, Family and Friends, living anywhere in the world, but Indians only who care for India.
I want to hear from you "ONLY" if you are interested in Joining.
If you are not inclined and are too Busy etc etc, I understand but don't tell me why you cannot as it serves no Purpose adding negativity at the starting point.
Some of you who know me well will be aware of my early morning dreams which I call "premonitions" which have come true. I will tell those of you who join more about these premonitions later.
I have been very preoccupied trying to come to grips with the new Farmers Legislations of India and Farmers Protests leaving politics aside and looking for an Out of the Box Solution.
Whilst I appreciate all that M S Swaminathan has achieved in 95 years his MSSR Foundation, his accolades etc etc, I cannot believe His recommendations is the Only Coat Hanger for GOI and the Farmers of India to hang their Coats. There is so much that can be learnt from other Countries. With this thought on my mind I went to bed at 2.30am. By 5.00am I was dreaming. The Dream was not about Farming at all.
I dreamt about Publishing my second book.
My First Publication was "Reflections by IITians". The Book was Launched at Pan IIT Meet at IIT Madras in 2008. Nandan Nilekani, Infosys Chairman also launched his publication "Imagining India" at the Madras PanIIT Meet.
Reflections by IITians was triggered by a similar dream in 2007 and materialised. Initial Title of the book was "Yesterday Today Tomorrow" to be penned by IIT Global Alumni that I had created and had about 3500 members. Yesterday Today Tomorrow was about "Life before Joining IIT, Life in IIT, and Life after IIT" Virtually the authors journey through life
I hand picked the authors based on whatever they wrote in the groups. The adage is "Face is the Index of the Mind" but with the advent of Social media I realised that "What people write is the True Index of their Minds" I was not wrong.
This Morning in my Dream, I dreamt that I published a second book Titled "REPAIRING INDIA". Trust me I had no clue about this when I went to bed last night thinking of India's Farmers out there in the cold in Delhi.
"Repairing India" as I saw it in my dream, was not blaming the drivers of the car (meaning politicians be it Congress or BJP) who had smashed India badly since Independence, but being the Smash Repairer restoring India to a Pristine Condition, that it had never seen before as it was born out of hatred and Mother India divorcing a Selfish and Greedy British Husband who exploited her. There was no India before Independence.
India was a New Born Baby weak, fragile and unhealthy with multiple defects. Many believed India would not survive. it defied odds and did survive
India like me is 73 Years Old and could have died several deaths in these seven decades but is still batting strong. In Many ways you can Compare India's life to that of the Indian Cricket Team the last 73 years.
Until 1970 or so India's Cricket was run by the Rich and Famous people like Royalties with connections like "Ranjitsinhji, Nawabs of Pataudi, Jaisimhas".
If the father Played Cricket for India, rest assured the son played for India too. They lost each and every game without a fight. The slave mentality continued to be embedded and etched in their dna.
The First break came when Eknath Solkar a Ball boy got picked and India got its first taste of blood when Indian's beat Australia's Richie Benauds Team in 1963. ( I was there in the Stadium watch the game live
But for Saurab Ganguli ( and his stalwarts like Rahul Dravid and Laxman), India would have been Content losing forever. Then came Dhoni and now we have the Invincible Leader King Kholi and his Team that all cricketing nations dread.( don't tell me about all out for 36 story please) and then we have the IPL making India's Cricketers the Richest in the world, with foreign players queuing up to to Play IPL.
"If India's Cricketers can do it India Can do it too" is my hypotheses for my Book Repairing India.
Remember Repairing India is Far from Imagining India giving it a UID or Unique ID.
"Repairing India" is Not a Unique IDEA, but Panel beating at best and repainting giving it a new colour and sheen whilst some experts will fix and fine tune the engine, making an Old Ambassador attain the standards of an Audi in performance and looks
Repairing India will not be a collection of articles but a book by many many authors.
As For Content I have several ideas but will be driven by participants
So, Give it some serious thought and join if you wish
Even if I have two joining me we can make Movie "Three Idiots - Ver 2"
Have a Drink and say Good Bye to Year 2020
