SHOULD WE TRY TO WIN INTERNATIONAL APLOMB BY MAKING A NUCLEAR BOMB
SHOULD WE EXPLORE THE SYNERGY BETWEEN NUCLEAR AND SPIRITUAL ENERGY?

Nuclear weapons are undoubtedly a magnificent achievement, a moment of National pride.
In the absence of proper controls, we could just be taking ourselves for a ride.

Nuclear powers enjoy being International police, at the same time hoping for peace.
Wanting to have the cake and eat it too, will wonders never cease.

It is true that we needed to stand upto Uncle Sam.
But we must pull out all stops to ensure that we do not land up in a Nuclear Jam.

Being embroiled in repeated scandles, are you in a position to tell us, Mr President.
That what we should or should not do or set which precedent?

It seems that too much sex ,has improved your reflex causing Instant, spontaneous perplex.
Your muscles immediately flex, do not impose a mutually counterproductive economic tax take it easy ,relax.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely; Power can be even more enticing than an attractive Paramour.
Problem is now there are Nuclear weapons, we are not restricted to Infantry, Artillery and Armour.

You want to treat us like a Nuclear rogue,
We have in all respects been aping the west, it is you who put the Nuclear weapons in Vogue.

You have become a nuclear addict.
But when we even begin doing the same, you have the audacity to contradict.

Vis-a-vis China you want to pursue a partisan policy that caters to your political expediency.
Then how can you possibly attack us when we are only aiming for self sufficiency.

Even though we are both Democracies, you are hell bent on favoring (as per Mr Kissinger) China.
Didn’t you witness the result when the paparrazi blindly pursued princess Diana.

If Einstein had been alive, he would have told you that this is discriminatory, not relative.
You will have to discover new ways to be Creative.

If you run out of the right ideas and there is a dearth.
Only on paper you shall remain the most powerful man on Earth.

Maybe we need to go back to the history books Mr. Clinton.
Perhaps we may get a hint from Mr. Abraham Lincoln.

Your inconsistency reminds one of Archie shuttling between Betty and Veronica.
Should we not expect even conduct from the president of United States of America?

Since you remind me of Mr Kennedy, I am a fan of yours so there is no question of insult.
But when you flirt a little too much, this is the result.

In any case the Mahatma taught us never to hate the perpetrator but be wary of the deed.
Your closest allies, the British should be able to confirm to you that this is true Indeed.

From the reaction to the tests of the British Prime Minister, Mr. Tony Blair.
You should have realised by now that you have been less than fair.

Let me introduce myself, My name is Hiren Shah, my job is to do Marketing and Sales
I hope this appeals to you, Mr Blair and even the prince of Wales

You have a saturated Nuclear belly, if others do the same you react as if you inadvertently had a chilly.
Did not your G-8 friends tell you O’ Billy, Don’t be Silly.

You could have preached only if you were morally as rich as the materially rich other Mr Bill, Mr Gates.
That alone befits the office of the President of United States.

You are deemed to be the most powerful leader of men, do not try to behave like a Lord
I have only got a pen, it could prove to be more powerful than a Nuclear Sword.

Weapons alone cannot make you the most powerful man in the Universe.
We are equally rich, we have got poetry, we have got verse.

You think you can dominate because you have got many a powerful satellite.
How can you monitor an Imagination that soars high in the sky like a Kite.

Your satellites(so could your defence systems) proved useless, we have succeeded in being Clandestine.
Come up with New Ideas wether you sit at home and dine or referee Israel and Palestine.

There can be never a surefire answer to a Nuclear attack.
Mankind has come too far, new ways must be thought of to go back.

I hope you are able to comprehend the message that my words carry,
In case you don’t get back to me after discussing with dear Hillary.

No pun intended, considering your position and personality, you epitomize style, charm and glamour.
To remove hostility, one can be versatile, I mean no harm, just using a little bit of Humor.

To foster amity, you can use laughter.
One you establish gaiety, there maybe no problem thereafter.

The Mahatma, Buddha and Christ have shown that you cannot become powerful by blind domination.
To influence you have to permeate heart and Soul, you require an all pervasive creative imagination.

This is to draw your attention to the fact that there are better ways to diffuse Tension.
You follow uninvited intervention, other ways may someday genuinely enable you to enjoy your Pension.

Instead of blindly expanding your Nuclear Arsenal.
You have to create a software that binds world personnel.

Instead of continuing to invent new weapons to expand your Nuclear Repertoire.
Come, lets get together and sing in a Choir.

If you want to aim for International security, then no matter how many nuclear weapons you arrange
You won’t get far unless you know in letter and spirit how to make the World Change.

You have so many weapons, they have not whetted your Nuclear Appetite.
You shall never get anywhere unless you know how to bring together all men- brown, black and White.

To prevent the spread of Nuclear Plague, you can no longer afford to be ambivalent and Vague.
You need to use your office to initiate a social and cultural blitzkrieg.

The world over, you profess to fight many a terrorist and Fundamentalist.
You cannot succeed unless you become an effective catalyst.

Instead of building bombs and Missiles that have intense penetration.
Focus your energies on developing ideas that shall for all time to come win Mankind’s veneration.

The problem is that by hook or crook, you want to continue to remain sovereign.
You do not realise that you are climbing up the wrong terrain.

You shall have to pursue a modus operandi that is genuinely Spiritual,
Non proliferation policies are a Sham, a Ritual.

Not practicing what you preach, for others you advocate Nuclear Chastity.
Why not use your position for research, that will promote world Elasticity.

Change is the only constant in life, there is nothing that you can perpetuate
You must realise this before it is too late, for starters you can stop to dictate.

What we have to aim for an crave is that arises an Indian or Pakistani Gorbachev.
If the cause dear to me and you is not to be lost, there has to be a spiritual Glasnost.

If you continue to behave like this, you are only being Naive.
Economic sanctions will achieve nothing, kindly waive.

There are limits to what even the most powerful man on earth can do.
I may not belong to any political party but let me reiterate I am a proud Hindu.

To conclude, Mr President, no matter what you try to do to our economy.
India shall never compromise on her autonomy.

Rather than end up doing some irreversible Nuclear folly, to stand up to an International bully
Mr Prime Minister, you can use poetry, wit and repartee,be vibrant and Jolly.

The Serial, Mahabharat has shown that there are other ways of facing an enemy that is hostile.
Lord Krishna in addition to using weapons also used wit, humor and a disarming smile.

We have to no doubt be vary of the Pakistanis and Chinese.
We can perhaps deal with the problem with more sophistication and Finesse.

Unlike the second world War there cannot be a nuclear ace, We cannot afford another Arms Race.
Consequences are unimaginable, do we want to face? Will there be anything left to trace?

It is true that considering the security threat, we could not have remained docile.
However let us also not go hammer and tongs at making bomb and Missile.

If the world has not to be put on the brink of a Nuclear Precipice.
New ways must be thought of to be gregarious and Nice.

Unless each other’s aspirations we learn to respect and placate.
One day there shall be nothing left to Vacate.

This in not a cricket match where you can win, loose or have a tie.
Everybody stands to loose once the bombs and missiles begin to fly.

It is hardly debatable that there are better uses of Nuclear energy than building a bomb.
In the wrong hands, even a genuine James Bond will not be able to prevent a collective tomb.

The 21st century cannot afford a hitler, elsewhere or in Hindustan or Pakistan.
Even a chance occurrence could ensure an unmanageable and Unattended Kabristan. (Tomb)

If we have to witness the uprisal of a Fascist.
To deal with him will any commensurate achievement be affected by the proud Scientist?

Contemplating the consequences of using even a single Nuke.
Can make anybody Puke.

Does it matter wether we get the weapons from abroad or use Indigenous sources.
When the country is faced with severe paucity of resources.

Considering our other priorities, and our resources constraint.
Should we not exercise Nuclear Restraint?

In some of our villages, we do not have drinking water.
And we are preparing ourselves for a Nuclear slaughter.

The common man is more concerned about his butter and bread.
Will he be able to function under the Nuclear Dread?

We shall have to use more wisdom and Grace.
Our priorities have to put into place.

On the domestic scene, you have maintained that we are pseudo Secular.
Since we have other pressing problems, don’t you think that we are pseudo Nuclear.

We have proved to the world that we have Nuclear Aptitude.
It could one day prove to be a disaster of uncontrollable and unmitigated magnitude.

As a deterrence. the nuclear weapons undoubtedly boast of utility,
In the absence of basic infrastructure facilities and amenities however, they reek of Futility.

It may be a case of misguided Myopia, one of extremely counterproductive Euphoria.
Instead, we could have gone back to our roots and focussed on making India a spiritual Utopia.

We are aiming for a shot at the membership of the Security Council
The Repercussions-future History students may not come across a single Fossil.

Nuclear weapons have a tremendous opportunity cost.
On certain issues that may be permanently lost.

Rather than have such ambitions, which can hardly be encouraged to Nurture
Should not we be focussing on spreading our heritage and Culture.

If we are genuinely wary of the fallout that is Radioactive
We have to become culturally hyperactive.

We can employ poetry, dance and Music, using Instruments and Percussion.
Then we would never have to worry about International repercussion.

One wonders wether bereft of values, it is worthwhile going Nuclear.
When the basic direction in which we are headed is debatable and Unclear.

We have done something very daring, it has proved to be conspicuous and glaring.
Should we not preserve what we are good at- love and Caring.

Rather than topping the Nuclear Antenna and shifting to a higher Nuclear Gear.
Should not we pursue policies that mutually endear.

Should we focus on making hydrogen bomb which is based on atomic fission or
Should we aim for cultural and Social fusion.

Rather than aiming at a being recognised as a nuclear power that is Global.
Should not we be introspecting and concentrating on becoming Noble.

Rather than straightaway aiming on the Nuclear thrust, building bombs that can catastrophically burst.
Should we not be focussing on building goodwill and trust.

Let the weapons remain only a deterence.
Their spread can be checked by equally effective cultural mutterence, spiritual Utterance.

If we are to change the World’s and Our destiny.
We need some kind of Spiritual Mutiny.

Nuclear weapons are an external threat, unless we learn to stop being Corrupt.
An equally potent internal threat may erupt.

Let their be no ambiguity on this, this is not a Rumor.
We face a deadly Internal tumor that is as dangerous as the external Nuclear Tremor.

Against the British, we fought under Gandhiji.
Against ourselves, we need one more Sachin, a political and spiritual prodigy.

The die is already cast, we have to somehow prevent a Nuclear Blast.
Unfortunately nobody of credibility is around to undertake a fast, we have to somehow make peace last.

Before it is too late, to make the world again realise.
Hopefully another Mahatma shall arise.

Should we be swept by this Nuclear tide.
Should we look for a spiritual guide.

Unless we go back to our roots and rediscover values that at one time we used to Cherish.
There is a very strong possibility that we shall all perish.

To solve a problem you need both method and Motive.
One has already been taken care of but can spill blood, for other we must focus on a culture that is Native

If we are to prevent the explosion of a Nuclear Device.
We must go back to our roots, we must Revise.

The right kind of Education has to come, says common sense and Intuition.
Even if it requires and amendment in the outdated constitution.

Unless something like this happens, we face consequences that can only frighten.
New ways must be thought of, we must enlighten.

In Management the focus in not on cutting cost, it is on generating revenue.
Rather then pursuing the looming Nuclear Ghost, should we not be examining a spiritual Avenue.

If we ever have to witness the Mushroom cloud,
We might rue the day that instead of relying on our cultural heritage we chose this way to be proud.

In our cultural heritage, we must have confidence and Reliance, it’s as good as Corporate Reliance
If we and other people are not to do things that cause International defiance.

We may have come abreast with US, Russia, UK, China and France
Let us head a spiritual Renaissance, that may be our last chance.

We are already witnessing a Renaissance in the form of the Pakistani music group Junoon.
This is no disguise it is actually a boon, for cultural fusion we must aim for the moon.

Through the Media, we are badly in need of pioneering many an Idea.
The world then shall all the more respect India.

Does it matter wether the bombs are sophisticated or crude.
When everybody’s peace of mind they badly intrude.

Does it matter wether we use uranium or plutonium of whatever Grade.
If war breaks out, no soldier may live to participate in a Parade.

In recent times there has been a lot of debate on NPT and CTBT.
Should not we be focussing on improving quality, fostering equality, clearing the debris in our polity.

The world needs Reassurance
For the simple reason that Nuclear weapons carry no Insurance.

Nuclear weapons offer certain guarantee.
Unfortunately they are not in a position to offer any Warrantee.

Why not try a different kind of test?
The end result one day could be- not only India but the whole world could be at peace, at rest.

We simply have to try to discover a new trend.
We simply have to discover new ways to befriend.

The only way of facing the daunting challenge of Nuclear Age
Is to feverishly promote Internationally, a social and cultural Marriage.

To send through the cyberspace, we must create a software that can socially and culturally connect.
Only then we would have properly used the Internet.

What good is the Information Revolution and Mass Communication
Unless we have a Solution to implement with strong Resolution, to send for Mass Dissemination.

Let us not be intoxicated by the Nuclear Opium which causes International Opprobrium.
To prevent further intoxication, get rid of fixation, promote ideas that genuinely promote Relaxation.

Instead of facing economic sanction.
A day may come in the distant future when we may actually have a nuclear auction

In the event of a Nuclear War, nobody can gain.
The efforts to prevent it should not go in Vain.

Particularly in this respect, one thing is absolutely sure.
Prevention is undoubtedly better than Cure.

There should be some concrete action, not mere anguish.
If future generations are not to languish.

If the world is to shed its new found Indifference,
We should be able to prevail on the world, that the BJP is actually a party with a difference.

Wether or not we are able to work in Internal Coalitions, we cannot afford bad external relations.
Nature has certain laws; if we have continued Violations, we shall destroy both God and Science’s Creations.
Wether at first strike or retaliation.

Let me mince no word, using prose and poetry let this be loudly read and heard.
We are lucky to survive two world wars, we cannot afford a third.

We can show the world at large and the G-8.
That leadership can never be imposed, there are other ways of becoming great.

Rather than aiming to be the world’s sixth global Nuclear Superpower
Let’s be what we are good at – be the world’s first spiritual properpower

Mr Prime Minister, it is said that you are a dreamer, a visionary.
Why not use your oratory to become a charmer, a spiritual missionary.

The world has seen that you are a bold Prime Minister, we also need to show the poet.
It is important to get across that our designs are not sinister, it was difficult to remain quiet.

People may start thinking that I have gone crazy.
I can see the writing on the wall, it is no longer Hazy.

We need to impart a completely different kind of education right from Nursery.
If the children are not to grow up becoming each other’s Nuclear Adversary.

Let me reiterate aloud that if we are never to see the cloud that appears like a Mushroom.
To remove darkness you cannot take darkness out of, you have to bring light into a Room.

There can hardly be two opinions about the fact that only the right kind of Education.
May or may not change the world but can certainly save our Nation.

UNLESS WE DISCOVER INNOVATIVE IDEAS WHICH WE CAN BORROW AND LEND
UNLESS WE START A NEW TREND AND FIND NEW MESSAGES TO MUTUALLY SEND

Mr Prime Minister, Mr President, not only for India and Pakistan, it could mean for the whole world

THE END
