The BIGGEST CLOWNS OF INDIA!

ANNA HAZARE AND ARVIND KEJRIWAL – MANY THANKS FOR WASTING THE TIME OF THE INDIAN PARLIAMENT AND INDIAN CITIZENS.

In my humble opinion so called ‘leaders’ never state they ‘are confused’ to their followers!

Being confused is every leaders prerogative – but saying that to your die hard followers is confusing and de-motivating.

Everyone has up’s and down’s.

There are wins and losses.

Even if there is a fog that you cant see the end of, slow down, put on your headlights, and say ‘hey, hang in there. we are figuring out the best paths ahead and will be back’.

Not that ‘we are stuck’.

If ‘self proclaimed leaders’ say ‘we are confused’ then I call them clowns.

  1. I really don’t agree on this one though.
    At least they are doing something for the problem. 

  2. what? going on media saying they don’t know? 

  3. Alok

    Tell us seriously! Are you getting paid by Kapil Sibbal and Digvijay Singh to write all this crap and that too so frequently! It looks like Anna has bothered you a lot. There is someone who is trying to work something against corruption and has been cheated by politicians. We all have seen the drama enacted in the parliament 10 days back. It is due to team Anna’s efforts that corruption as an issue has come to forefront of Indian minds. If you cant support them, why dont you just ignore them?

    I seriously dont understand your grudge against Kejriwal and team. Regarding wasting parliament’s time, parliament hasnt been even functioning for sometime now due to Chidambaram row. Last time the whole session was wasted due to JPC row. It would be very unfair to blame Anna’s team for the same

    Are you really bothered by what Anna ‘s team is doing? Or your plan is to just drive your blogs TRPs by using their names. Something similar to what a management institute does- ‘Dare to think beyond IIMs’ !

  4. Hahahaha – dude – tell me – what am i supposed to make of confused people?

    are they leaders?

    Do so called visionaries make such statements ever??

    That’s whats my problem baba

    They certainly are leaders as well as visionaries. Arvind and other team members have toiled hard for more than 10 years to bring this issue to the forefront. And they certainly have done this successfully.  Otherwise the government was busy giving character certificates to Rajas and Kalmadis till this movement picked up the steam. It is due to their efforts that corruption has become such a big issue today.

    And I dont see any issue in these guys asking for opinion from public. This just goes to show that they are more focused about the movement rather than individual egos.Dont you ask feedback/take suggestion from your team members?

  6. yes. but never cut a sorry ‘we are confused’ figure in front of the team.

    If I AS THE CEO stand in front of my armies and say ‘i am confused’, help me – I am doomed.

    Leaders ARE ENTITLED TO BE CONFUSED – but they are NOT entitled to DECLARE it to the public and followers WHILE IN OFFICE!

    That’s what I am saying – how will these 2 noble people ever motivate anyone anymore?

  7. and for that reason you crown them as ‘Biggest clowns of India’ !!!!

  8. yup

  9. Why are we wasting time and energy debating about corruption and crap here.Let other forums discuss&debate about such things .Start focusing on our core area ,i.e entrepreneurship and business here 🙂

  10. don’t worry dude…

    being a sloth doesn’t change anything..

    most of us , are just escapist , most of the time ,following a brownian movement

    Still if someone is not following, we are jealous of him , 

    give him the title of “Anna”

    visionaries, believe in actions, n not words … n its quite evident

  11. Probably the BEST advise of 2012!!! Thanks and agree

  12. So hopefully no more Anna bashing from your side in future and more articles on business side (which we always love to read)! 🙂

  13. yes. makes sense. let me not stray. thanks RohitN and Amit for the support.

  14. Thank you Alok . We are waiting more inspiring business&entrepreneurship articles from you .You are helping budding entrepreneurs a lot.

  15. I agree therodinhoods should be more related with business and entrepreneurship.

    But from this article if you see from other side it’s more related towards Leadership.
    This is what is going to happen when the leader of the organisation himself becomes confused and admits it to thier followers imagine the effect it will have on their followers.

    Thanks Alok again for sharing such great thoughts.

    This is the best line  Even if there is a fog that you cant see the end of, slow down, put on your headlights, and say ‘hey, hang in there. we are figuring out the best paths ahead and will be back’. 

    It’s been some long time i am posting a comment but as usual i love therodinhoods 🙂

  16. did anna team say they are confused or its just at interpretation?

    crowdsourcing is a smart option, gives you more points to argue. Over-all I see there is a lot to learn from this movement.

    Ok, most of us don’t deal with this system, for those who do, know how murky it is. So the confusion is, whether you work through this kind of system or work to change it.

  17. Snehal – did u see the newspaper clip that I posted there?

    What do illiterate men like me make of this?

  18. Team Anna has the right zeal but lacks the visionary breadth to understand to range of problems that need to be solved.  Trying to hijack people’s emotions with the threat to go on a fast and then backing down due to ill health is a sign of the hollowness of their zeal.  If you are going on a fast then you stay on that fast till you get what you want or you die.  You don’t back down.  This is just blackmailing tamasha.  “If I pretend to fast they’ll cave in” and when they don’t cave in “Oh shit, I am going to die.  Lets blame ill health and get out of it.”  As it stands the Lokpal bill is set to create a powerful police state that is fairly unencumbered by accountability.  Imagine your local constable with AK-47.  Alok, you better mind your manners and stop calling these godly beings clowns.  I don’t want to go to jail so I wont call these clowns clowns.  🙂

  19. Perhaps they should learn from great potti sriramulu who went on fast on to death  and died.ANDHRA state was craved out of madras state after his death .

  20. trust me, if anna fasts and dies, there will be an India bandh. (Mumbai will function because of ShiV Sena).

    And the next day, no one will remember anything.

    A wise man never fights battles he can’t win. And this ain’t even a battle. Its a KAVI SAMMELAN

  21. ohk, pardon me, but i thought ‘confused’ was ToIs interpretation. They are crowdsourcing solution to their problem, which we often do by posting on fb statuses. Just tht they have better platform – entire media.

    what i make out of this, these people are smart , first blackmail then sympathy. 2 of the most powerful negotiation tactics that hostage-takers and kids use.

    All being said, I am half literate as you, so pardon my interpretations 🙂

  22. 🙂 fair enough.

    now lets fight to be pardoned :-))

  23. So many ppl against Alok , but I fully agree and support  Alok this time-

    Anna and team has lost there Credibility and this movement will die soon, all the team members are not top quality leaders

    buy reading books on Gandhi and siiting like him for meditation doesnt make any one Gandhi, it requires ‘INNER VOICE’ of a leader , ‘WE R CONSFUSED’ shows  these are not genuine leaders

    ‘Even they backed up on PROTEST AGAINST CONGRESS’ this is adjustment, there motives are doubtfull they will not make any impact in 5 States, IAC will shrink now
