Praja Rajyam or "Me and My Praja Rajyam"

The following is the question came to me from my friend who saw the video and don't know much about Andhra Pradesh. I answered him and thought of putting my answer on my blog:

Question I got:

Chiru launched his much awaited party named Praja Rajyam. Much is expected out of him but would Indian political system let him stretch his thoughts and motives and allow him to serve the society? Only time could tell. I hope Praja Rajyam achieves its mandate.

My answer goes like this:

Its all myth..

Party is for more attention.

If his aim is only social service why he need to spend $1.25 millon just for a party meeting.

He achieved a lot in his life ( he him self told his Biography on big stage, so no need to mention again), only thing pending for him be a power i.e. CM to a state. If he succeed, he will be CM.
If not, he comes back and does movies or gives support to his Son, Nephew and brother.
Anyone with that stature and influence will try to become CM. I think its a good idea decision. He may need more power to Serve, but this service aspect will be next. First priority is to become CM.
One interesting thing to watch is how much money he is going to spend from his pocket and how much is from people (i.e. the leaders who robbed public in the past from other parties).

He is highly political. If he not, he won't be in this influential position in film industry where many people has strong foundation and if they would have thought to stab him it wouldn't be a problem. He is trying to grow as a leader to the low income people and instead of projecting him as a wealthy man coming from a big community.
Many communities which is not given preference in other parties are going to support him. (these communities contribute more than 50-60% of Votes).

He is going in right direction. But the path he has to go is tough one. Lets see how it goes.

We sitting in home or city/abroad, watching TV/Paper we can judge nothing. we can just share our opinions/thoughts. That's all. Its a battle so success or defeat is decided by his destiny.

As indian mythology "Yudda neeti" is different than "Raja neeti" and "neeti". Yudda neeti tells you to kill other person to save you in the battle. Raja neeti says to kill others and other kings to make your kingdom, both of them are wrong as per ordinary neeti. Lets wait and see how he will play the game using his own "Raja neeti". I mean I won't be surprised if he plays some weird steps to get into power.

Because if I make tons of money, I would like to try to start company on my own and try my luck. For people I look like a dumb person as I am spending all my money for a stupid thing. But it is a wise thing for me. Lets say If I succeed, "I am the News", if not I lead my old life style. In the same way he is trying his luck. Even though I don't want to involve politics, as a person I wish him ALL THE BEST for his new career he is planning to build using his success in the past.

San Francisco Half Marathon, 03-Aug-08

This year season is good and I don't have any confidence to keep good pace like last year (last year pace 12:30min) as I put on more weight than last year. But after the long run in Crissy Field with Satyan, I started running 4+1 ( 4 min run and 1 min walk). It is pretty comfortable, so decided to do 4+1 for SF half marathon and Chicago Marathon.

I planned to collect the bib on Saturday, but Somnath went on Friday to SF, so he picked my bib too. Friday I did little run for 3 miles with Somnath and Durgi. I decided to drive instead of taking a shuttle to Marathon. Both of them also ready to join me.

It is Aug03-Sunday, the day started at 2:30. Woke up had a bagel and picked up Somnath and Durgesh. We reached SF by 4:30. Did a little warm up and started in wave 5.

From start we are doing 4+1 and completed mile 1 in 12mins. Somnath wanted to use restroom so he got separated at mile 1. After 5 miles run we reached Golden Gate. That day’s weather is awesome and we can see peak of GG bridge. We enjoyed running across GG. We saw Chakri on the Bridge and he took pictures of us. we fished 10 miles in 2:10 mins. We got some confidence that we can do under 3 hours. We kept running in same pace at mile 11, I was left behind because of the pace changes between me and Durgesh. I completed 13.1 miles in 2:47:20 i.e. at pace of 12:46.

All the way of the Marathon, asha folks cheered us, it was awesome support. Finally at the Asha tent had good fun.
