Chiru Political entry

Source TOI:HYDERABAD: Despite the fans getting restive and the media losing interest, the Hamletian dilemma that the family of megastar Chiranjeevi is displaying over the star entering politics surfaced yet again on Saturday. Allu Arvind, Chiranjeevi's brother-in-law, said he 'hopes' that Chiranjeevi will make an announcement about his political plans in August this year.

Arvind stated this to a few fans and the media at Geeta Arts, the producer's office at Jubilee Hills on Saturday afternoon. Under the banner of Chirajneevi National Trade Union Congress, the fans had taken out a 'shanti yatra' from Ambedkar statue at Tank Bund to Geeta Arts. "I think Chiranjeevi honours those who are coming out in support of him and join politics. However, the megastar is not someone who will take emotional decisions just like that. He does a lot of thinking before making one. I hope he announces in August," Arvind said. Arvind's utterances triggered speculations whether Chiranjeevi would finally take the political plunge on August 15, Independence Day, or August 22, his birthday. However, the merry-go-round being enacted by the Chiranjeevi family is beginning to take its toll. "Chiranjeevi says Arvind will announce his political decisions, but the brother-in-law is as vague as the star himself," said one dejected fan.

Many wonder that if this is the indecision Chiranjeevi is displaying on the issue of entering politics, how much time he will take to make administrative and political decisions, if he enters the political game. "Take a decision of entering politics and make the plunge, or else say that you have no political ambitions. The star cannot keep the fans, the public and the media hanging forever," said one political leader.

The delay by Chiranjeevi in taking a decision is undoing his own Kapu community as well. Many members of the community are alleging that the megastar's family members are taking him away from the community and making him a captive of political and commercial interests. "Without the Kapu community, Chiranjeevi will become a political zero. If he wants to represent the weaker sections who are craving for political and social justice, the megastar should first snap ties with the dominant communities," said a Kapu leader.

Chiranjeevi's loyalists insist that the delay is because the megastar is weighing all the options and holding talks with a wide variety of people and experts. "But how long is the wait going to be? It seems Chiranjeevi is not aware of the story of the boy and the tiger. The boy fooled the people twice by saying that a tiger was coming to the village when there was no such animal. The third time around, a real tiger surfaced but nobody heeded the boy's warning. At this rate, this is what may happen to Chiranjeevi as well," one leader lamented.

1969 Act-49-O:I vote nobody

http://www.merinews.com/catFull.jsp?articleID=128152
Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth,confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!

Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".

Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received "49-O" votes more than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and will have to be re-polled. Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them.

This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public....

Please spread this news to as many as you know... Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India... show your power, expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting... so don't miss your chance.

So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on...

Show Me the Love

The young woman was married and had two beautiful children, but one day as she was standing over the sink, washing dishes, she thought, "There must be more to life than this." When her husband came home, he found a note she'd written and began to weep. She would call him once every week to check on the children, and he would always tell her of his great love for her and beg her to come home. She would always say no and hang up. Finally, he hired a private investigator to find her and he went to the apartment where she was staying, nervously holding flowers in his hand as he stood at the door. He had rehearsed over and over what he would say and he finally got up the nerve to knock on the door. She opened the door and he started to speak, but she suddenly began to weep and fell into his arms. Through her tears she said, "Let's go home."

Months after, when things were starting to heal, he finally asked her something that had been bothering him: "All those times I talked to you on the phone; I asked you to come back and you refused. Why did you come back now?"
"Before," she said, "you were just telling me that you loved me. When you came, you showed me."

The Bible tells us of God's love, but Jesus came and showed God's love.

God's Love Story

One day, I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Ah, the
beauty of God's creation is beyond description. As I watched, I
praised God for His beautiful work. As I sat there, I felt the Lord's
presence with me.

He asked me, "Do you love me?"

I answered, "Of course, God! You are my Lord and Saviour!"

Then He asked, "If you were physically handicapped, would you still
love me?"

I was perplexed. I looked down upon my arms, legs and the rest of my
body and wondered how many things I wouldn't be able to do -- the
things that I took for granted?

And I answered, "It would be tough Lord, but I would still love You."

Then the Lord said, "If you were blind, would you still love my
creation?" How could I love something without being able to see it?
Then I thought of all the blind people in the world and how many of
them still loved God and His creation.

So I answered, "Its hard to think of it, but I would still love you."

The Lord then asked me, "If you were deaf, would you still listen to
my word?" How could I listen to anything being deaf?

Then I understood. Listening to God's Word is not merely using our
ears, but our hearts.

I answered, "It would be tough, but I would still listen to Your word."

The Lord then asked, "If you were mute, would you still praise My Name?"

How could I praise without a voice? Then it occurred to me: God wants
us to sing from our very heart and soul. It never matters what we
sound like. And praising God is not always with a song, but when we
are persecuted, we give God praise with our words of thanks.

So I answered, "Though I could not physically sing, I would still
praise Your Name."

And the Lord asked, "Do you really love Me?"

With courage and a strong conviction, I answered boldly, "Yes Lord! I
love You because You are the one and true God!"

I thought I had answered well, but God asked, "THEN WHY DO YOU SIN?"

I answered, "Because I am only human. I am not perfect."

"THEN WHY IN TIMES OF PEACE DO YOU STRAY THE FURTHEST? WHY ONLY IN
TIMES OF TROUBLE DO YOU PRAY IN EARNEST?"

{ No answers -- only tears. }

The Lord continued: "Why only sing at fellowships and retreats? Why
seek Me only in times of worship? Why ask things so selfishly? Why ask
things so unfaithfully? "

The tears continued to roll down my cheeks.

"Why are you ashamed of Me? Why are you not spreading the good news?
Why in times of persecution, you cry to others when I offer My
shoulder to cry on? Why make excuses when I give you opportunities to
serve in My Name?"

I tried to answer, but there was no answer to give.

"You are blessed with life. I made you not to throw this gift away. I
have blessed you with talents to serve Me, but you continue to turn
away. I have revealed My Word to you, but you do not gain in
knowledge. I have spoken to you but your ears were closed. I have
shown My blessings to you, but your eyes were turned away. I have sent
you servants, but you sat idly by as they were pushed away. I have
heard your prayers and I have answered them all."

"DO YOU TRULY LOVE ME?"

I could not answer. How could I?
I was embarrassed beyond belief. I had no excuse. What could I say to
this? My heart had cried out and the tears had flowed, I said, Please
forgive me Lord. I am unworthy to be Your child."

The Lord answered, "That is My Grace, My child."

I asked, "Then why do you continue to forgive me? Why do You love me so?"

The Lord answered, "Because you are My creation. You are my child. I
will never abandon you. When you cry, I will have compassion and cry
with you. When you shout with joy, I will laugh with you. When you are
down, I will encourage you. When you fall, I will raise you up. When
you are tired, I will carry you. I will be with you till the end of
days, and I will love you forever."

Never had I cried so hard before. How could I have been so cold? How
could I have hurt God as I had done?

I asked God, "How much do You love me?"

The Lord stretched out His arms, and I saw His nail-pierced hands. I
bowed down at the feet of Christ, my Saviour. And for the first time,
I truly prayed.

"Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with
what you have. For God has said, 'I will never leave you; I will never
abandon you'."
Hebrews 13:5 (GNB)
