wHAT tOURISM mEANS tO mE

The word finder defines tourism as a noun meaning “the business activity connected with providing accommodation, services and entertainment for people who are visiting a place for pleasure.”

Undeniably it is all this. Conspicuously more as well! Tourism relates to me in terms of outer exploration & inner search. It is a process to seek answers to screaming posers erupting internally. It means to re-establish a relation to where I originated from and a destination to which I am fated to converge with at eternity. It also denotes a possible karma which has to be fulfilled. At times it is to take an intrepid walk outside of my comfort zone to explore occurrences beyond. It is an exercise for my body, soul & mind to start flirting with natural rhythms of one another culminating into an eventual spiritual reunion to create a symphony of life. A philosophy to transform the process of being well off to one of well being. That of not merely earning a living but one of carving out a life. A transformation so exuberant and enriching, to stay devoid of which means anguish within. A meditative state to unearth the central fulcrum between enduring & curing. One of ecstasy to arrive at the destination just as much as the journey towards it. An odyssey beyond mortal existence. A debate towards self searching & self seeking in a reflective state of mind. To fuse the five senses within with the five elements without. A weld of the real with the virtual.

In stately effect, it is to me a holistic navigation towards self empowerment ……
An all encompassing JOURNEY OF IMAGINATION.

Need for Change in India Governance


Professionals Party of India


YOU & I NOW HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THINGS!

Crime, corruption, indiscipline, incompetence, nexus, unaccountability and apathy - all these are rooted in India’s rotten political machinery. Each of these ills have gone so far wrong in our country, they cannot be corrected by being attended to individually.

Over the last 60 years, our national governance has progressively degenerated and today the 300 odd million middle class Indians have to suffer the humiliation of rampant corruption, goondaism and a complete failure of all forms of government.

Many like YOU & I have now said "enough is enough". Many like YOU and I have now decided to get involved to bring about the change, so overdue.

The entire political machinery needs change. This means that new political parties of people like YOU and I is needed, which will reflect your idea of honesty and accountability in governance so that our country is not robbed blind by unscrupulous politicians anymore.

Your party is aptly called the Professionals Party of India. You are invited to visit the website www.ppi.net.in and peruse the Party Manifesto and give your suggestions and feedback. You are welcome to register your name, address, telephone number and profession.

You are earnestly requested to join the Party - indeed you and your professional colleagues and friends, adult family members are cordially invited to join. Then you will not feel helpless & frustrated but actively bringing about the change! We can be part of the solutions now!

We, the People of India, deserve better governance. We are capable of better governance. Our beautiful country needs a complete overhaul in our politics.

Only YOU and I can make this change happen. Please participate. Be fearless and let us try to bring about a change for better India in a democratic, constitutional, non-violent, legitimate movement of solidarity.

Although the movement has been initiated from Pune, the PPI is an ALL INDIA movement, inclusive to all who want a change for the better.

Our sole objective? To improve the quality of life of the last standing Indian.

Let’s go, get it!! Join the movement. Get Involved! If not you & i, then who? If not now, then when?
